BARKING Up THE WRONG TREE FOR
THE UNIVERSITY MONEY; MORE HEAD
WORK, LESS PLOW And PICK WORK

There is no good reason or con-
stitutional objection TO taxing this
property at one hundred per cent
of its full and true value. The
Supreme Court of the United
States has so held. If the univer-
sity crowd and other spell binders
would teach the voter of this con-
dition of our laws, such a Juror
would be raised that the people
would elect a legislature stern
enough TO overrule the usual daz-
cling lobby and change the word
"forty" to eighty.
Instead of three million dollar
bond issue, there would be four
million dollars more annual income
for the universities and other state
purposes and for retiring the old
! five million dollar bond issue.
The oil companies and mining
companies are paying license taxes
or gross production taxes. 1t Is
not possible to put such on the
railroads because they are engag-
ed in interstate commerce. But
the power companies and telephone
company should pay a license tax
equal to the oil producers, /. e.,
per cent per annum on gross sales
| This even would net the state
about S4OO,OOO.OO the year; oil
nearly all the additional money
Immediately needed for the state
university.
A little period of financial des
pair can teach a professor as wei
as anybody else that the rich ant
prosperous should be taxed, no
the man who does not know wher
to find the money he is alread,
paying IN taxes.

Bv H. LoWNDES MAURY

BY II. LOWNDG0 MA
There is much talk in our easy
going and consequently hungry
state about voting three million
dollars in bonds and ten years ad-
ditional taxes on the ordinary per-
son for the state institutions. Ora
tors are growing eloquent about
the home for consumptives being
short of room; the penitentiary's
being crowded; the universities
being about to shut down; the
buildings at Warm Springs being
fire traps.
The truth is that though much
splendid modern building has been
recently done at the Warm Springs
Asylum there is still crowding.
New land has been recently bought
and new buildings erected by the
State at the feeble minded Home
at Boulder. We have made a fine
start at Havre and Billings. For
the number respectively attending,
the state buildings at the School
of Mines are good, but the branch
es of the University at Missould
are about as poor as any in the
United States. Galen is full and
always will be full. Every mar
who works Is years in the Butte
mines has tuberculosis in a more
or less active form. The help fol
= that is only in an amendment t.
= the Workmen's Compensation Law
to include this OccupatiOnal dis
: ease, however.
We all want the state institu
tions to have more money. The!
: undoubtedly need it. But l 10
one am going to vote against tn
tax and the bond issue.
Some of these tax and bon,
spell binders are not deep enOug

Some are encouraged with eXpens
money or otherwise, by corporal
interests that should really b
;, taxed more, to throw the publ

. tOrate.
= The old university bond issue {
!. five million dollars is unpaid. b
- the money now needed to pay tn;
and also for repairs and maintel
:, ance should not come from tt
e farmers, the workingman, profe
sional man or merchant. None
these have made any money in pr

From perusal of the democratic
papers it appears that they are
not particularly interested in their
election of Tom Carey, their can
didate for railroad commissioner.
The demo-g.o. p. merger is doubt

In the commissioner contest, the

The abbey buildings were afterward
occupied as a fortified residence by the
family to whom they were grHnted by
the King, but they have been in ruins
since the seventeenth century.
The gateway is a massive square
tower on a projection Of rock near the
river; a mill stream now running
through the Norman arch which
formed the entrance. The whole aspect
of the place, once a beautiful and noble
monastic retreat is now forbidding in
the extreme. Both the charms Of
nature and Of art have in large measure
been taken away by the devastations
Of war and deliberate vandalism. The
present ruins can give but little idea
Of what the abbey of Mellifont was in

the haptistry still stands. q singular
octagonal building of light grey free
stone, curiously ornamented with red
brick in a very unusual manner. Its
pillared doorways are light and grace
