Speaking at the Music Hall of Carnegie In
stitute at Pittsburg on Nov. Is, D.. S. Freeman
of Richmon declared that Carnegie's gifts for
public purposes were a warning against what he
called the new Federal tax plans" on large in
heritances.
If we tax the big estates, there will be fewer
donations to charity, ran his argument. In the
years from 1908 to 1923, the big donations of
billionaries for public uses totaled 81, 525,OO0,OOO
OF which % per cent went for education Think
what would have been lost if vast wealth had
been obliged to pay an estate tax!
Very well, let us think Spread over rs years,
$1,425,O0O0O0 comes to a total Of sol 100000 a
year. OF this, p per cent was spent for educa-
ton, according to Mr.. Freeman, which comes to
$13,420,000 a year for that purpose.
Does Mr.. Freeman know what the American
people spend for education? If he does know,
he kept very still about it, In 1920, which falls
in the Carnegie period, $1,000 Isl ,2O9 were spent
on the public schools of this country alone. By
1923, the public school expenditures of the
country were around two billion dollars a year
and kept rising-as they should.
The depression lowered this outlay-but slow
~. III the USdSlSI ySdl Oh lSJ|, pN,l/t,OOO,JJJ
were spent by the American people on their
public schools. This is nearly 7 times the sum
that all Mr.. Freeman's billion dollar babies spent
on all educational work in Is years; or more
than 10 times their average yearly gifts to edu-
cation through that period.
Local and county taxes have provided more
than 80 per cent of public school funds as long
as records are available. Local and country tax
es are levied on the poor. Millions of them pay
directly on their homes; other millions pay tax
es indirectly in rents and living costs. On that
basis, the people with mall incomes paid as a
duty $20O,OOO,OOO more for education than Mr..
Freeman's bunch of plutocrats donated from
their doubtfully decent gains in Is years.
"Doubtfully decent" is used with knowledge.
Mr.. Carnegie worked his men II hours a day in
the steel mills. When they struck, Mr.. Carne-
gle toured Europe while his underlings at home
crushed the strike with all the brutal villanies
which strike-breakers know. He sold defective
armor plate to the United States navy, and was
punished only by a fine.
If Mr.. Freeman didn't know these things, he
had no business to speak on the subject. If he
did know them, he should have told them. He
may take his choice.

A Tale of Two Autocrats

The Nizam of Hyderabad-that title ought to
be set to music-has ordered 1000 oxen and TO-
900 sheep to be slaughtered and roasted to feed
the pouplace on the 18th anniversary of his COM
ing to the throne. The Nizam is the richest Of
the native princes of India.
General Motors Corporation made a Christ
mas present of 100000 to its employees. Cen
eral Motors is perhaps the richest of the princes
of American industry.
The Nizam has 100000 subjects, so it is clear
that only a minor fraction Of them will get even
a taste of the meat. They're not used to meat.
The General Motors has 100000 employees who
share in the corporate princes bounty, SO the
100000 comes down to SIS per worker. But
few of them are used to seeing more than that
amount of money at a time, anyway.
Both items of news were printed on the front
page of the New York Times just before Christ
mas. They should have been printed in parallel
columns; for they are parallel stories in a doz-
en- particulars.
Both are tales of the charitable impulses Of
despots.
Both are gratuities from despots to men who
could not possibly claim similar rewards as a
HldtlcI Vi IlSHl,
Both despots would be shocked into spasms if
their subjects organized to claim equal power
in distributing benefits. But it must be admit
ted that there is some difference in the ways in
which the two despots would be likely to react
to the shock.
The Nizam probably would shoot or saber as
many revolving subjects as seemed necessary,
and send the leaders to be trampled to death by
elephants.
The corporation would be content with dismis-
sing the revolving workers, so that they and
their families would go hungry, and bring in
strike breakers or police to shoot or club the
more recalcitrant leaders.
But in both cases, an irresponsible a%utocrat
DEGREES arbitrary benefits to underlings with
out so much as dreaming Of consulting their
wishes and has the power-sometimes exercis-
ed-to decree disaster to the same underlings
with the same indifference to what they may
think about it.
The difference between the military a%utocracy
of an Oriental monarchy and the industrial auto
cracy of a great corporation is not SO wide as
one might think.

BANKER MUST PAY
Woman Hero of Famous "Seige
Case" Wins $4,000 Verdict.

Thomas A. NARROW, individually and
as president of the First National Bank
& Trust company Of Helena, must pay
$4,000 to Mrs. Minnie Bingham, heroic
Meagher county ranch woman A jury
at White Sulphur Springs last week
held the banker and his bank solely re-
sponsible for the outrageous invasion Of
the Bingham ranch in the fall of 1927 ;
for the m~onth-long seige that deputy
marshals laid to the ranch house,
within which the plucky woman barri-
caded herself.
A National Story
That seige made the front pages Of
almost every newspaper in America.
That seige defense wrote a blazing
chapter to the tales Of heroism of the
Old West, a chapter in which a lone
woman, fortified by her sense Of the
right, and her courage, went through a
living hell to protect her principles
Her deed typifies the courage of the
frontier woman
The Jury which heard the case was
admonished by Attorney Lester Lobe
to place its stamp OF disapproval upon
within the law" tactics of greedy cor
portations in riding rough-shod over
individual liberties and rights of Mon
tana citizens, whether man or woman.
A Masterful Argument

Mrs. Minnie Bingham lasted from Au-
gust % until September 20, 1927. When
doctors finally removed her from her
barricaded home, she was a mere skele-
ton, having been without food or wat
err for days. A baby had been born
to her there while she was alone, and
had died in the aborning, She vas so
weak that she had been unable to dis
pose Of its remains.
Not a friend or relative had been per-
mitted to enter the dwelling during that
burning month by the six brave Cd
men led by U. S. Marshal George Or
rick OF Billings. Livestock on the
ranch had been kept penned up with
out food or water.
Fight to the Death"
Day and night the six men laid seige
to the house. Day and night, from the
midst OF semi-delirium she defied them
and threatened death to anyone who
entered her door.

to fight for our rights" Mrs. Bing-
ham, a comely and striking woman in
her forties, told The Western Progress

He said: If you are right, fight.

During that time l knew | was right.
fought. Now, thank goodness,
have been proved right by the courts
l never felt the least fear because

Three Court Victories
Three courts have passed upon Mrs.
Bingham's stand. Federal Judge Geo
rye Bourquin, in deciding for her, said
1.-THE writ Of seizure and entrance was
faulty from its inception"
The Montana supreme court has up
held her. And last week a jury Of her
fellow ranchers and citizens OF Mea-
gher county endorsed her brave stanC
by returning a verdict granting hel
I$15,000 cash for personal injuries sus-
tanned during the seige and for tres
pass damages.

Seized a Shotgun
Mrs. Bingham knew her rights. AS
the posse took her husband, Frank R.
Bingham, into custody, she rushed into
the house and locked the door. She
called out that she was armed and
would shoot down any person who en-
tered her home against her will. This
rule OF the protection Of the home is
written into the U. S.. constitution
which declares a mans home is his
castle.
In her castle" on the Bingham ran
oh, the plucky woman defied the posse
for % days. Her telephone wires were
cut, her food and water was gone; her
premature infant died, An appalling
scene greeted her brother who finally
obtained permission from the posse to
enter the house. She was in bed, a
mere slip of her former self. On one
side was a loaded shotgun; on the
other was a rifle and clutched in her
weak and wan fingers was a fully
loaded revolver.
Bank Spurred Posse
Attorney Lobe and Adair, in try
ing the case, proved that the posse
had trespassed on the premises at the
request of the bank. Likewise the
bank had paid all the expenses and
bills OF the posse, amounting to nearly
81 900.
A directed verdict removed the Man
gers from the ranks OF defendants. The
Jury held NARROW and the bank solely
responsible.
