WEDNESDAY, itesv 10, 1889. • - Xilrain was very severely punished. Kilrain displayed a good deal of grit in staying in the fight as long as he Hors \br‚ancr\ cox ham arrived in Montana and is at present visiting the Yellowstone National Park. When he reaches Helena he will probably be invited to address the Constitutional Convention, and the Derdkretts ex- pect - him to make some speeches in their behalf during the coming cam - Pain. Mae. Hosoiss Tooss was found dead In her home at Madison, Wisconsin, last Sunday evening, heart disease be- ing the cause of her sudden death. The lady was the mother of E. W. and Jos, K. Tonle, of Helena, and the last . person to see ber alive was her daughter, who at the time showed her I a newspaper account ot the election of Jos. K. Toole as Temporary Presi- dent of the Constitutional Conventien of Montana. She was sixty-five years old at the time of her death. _ Tag HELENA PAPE»; should make a point of giving to the Territory very complete reports of the preceedings of the Constitutional Convention. It is the most important political body ever assembled in the. Territory, and the people want to know fully what is done and the cqurse taken by their respec- tive Delegates on the various questions coming before the Convention. The papers of Helena will' never baye a better opportunity of showing the newspaper stuff that in in them. PRESIDENT CLARK, of the Constitu- tional Convention, appointed Monday evening the standing committees of thé Convention. THE Ann must con- fess to a feeling of disappointment at the make-up of the committees, be- lieving that tlftememberehip of most of the copunittees has not been select- ed with' very good - judgment. The mistake which Mr. Clark made in bin committee appointnasits in the Con- . veution of live years ago he has repeat- ed in this and the result may be more serious because there is no doubt of admission if a satisfactory Constitution in . preyared, while at that time . people were sewnTry Tnerelrulh'ireaïs — to any good result of the movement and con- sequently took very - little interest in the matkr. The Jefferson county Delegates are apportioned as follows: On rights of suffrageand qualification to hold °Mee, Cardwell, Bullard; on legislative departments, Cardwell; on judiciary and judicial departments, including pardoning power, Joyes; on education, Hammond; on city, county, and town organizations, Joyes; on privileges and elections, Breen; .on ordinances, Hammond; on labor, Breen chairman, Bullard. Mr. Breen is the only Jefferson county man who secured a chairmanship. • As there are only twenty-five committees to seventy-five, members, each member could not expect the honor of a chair- manship. Tas HELENA Independent has in the past month shown evidence of some very fresh or incompetent hands upon Its editorial, typographical, or proof- reading force. The Independent is too good a paper generally and too neces- sary to the people of Montana to allow such state of affairs to continue. Its managers should employ none but first-class men, even if they do cost more than the average run of work - meu: Toe GEF.AT FIGHT between Sullivan and Kilrain rame off last Monday s'morning in Mississippi and Kilmin threw up the sponge in the seventy- second round. Sullivan was evidently the strongei' man of the two pugilists, while their fighting qualities were pretty evenly balanced. These facts were proven in the first few rounds and were as plain to Kilmin as to ev- erybody else. He thereforeattemptecl to defeat Sidtivan by the dodging and running tactic% used by Mitchell in his fight with Sullivan some years ago, but Sullivan developed better whiti than wait tepeeted by, even many of his friends. and the remit was that THE QUESTION ON TAXATION. grounds for the claim for exemption are that it is the chief industry of the State and should be encouraged, and that it is more uncertain in its returns and men should not be discouraged by taxation from engaging in it. These reasons are very puerile and' sound more like the whinings of a weak and unprofitable industry rather than the demands of a stalwart and profitable one. It is a new principle of econom- ics, certainly, that the weak Must support the strong, that the few must bear the burden's for the benefit of the many. It is very difficult to convince the poor man of one calling that he should be heavily taxed whilathe poor man of another - calling is exempt, though the lâttérhas more chances to gain wealth than the former. The cabin of the miner is much more likely to become a palatial residence•. ban is the cabin of' the farmer, an •th much lese personal labor, and it i' ot ._1 easy to convince either one if 'be in honest that it is fair to tax the one and not the other. But the whole system of taxing la- bor and the products of labor is wrong, and doubly so when- there is no neces- sity for it—when the necessary taxés could be raised more justly, more eas- ily, and More cheaply. SoCiety did not help the miner or the fariner to build the cabin or the palatial resi- dence and has no right to demand any portion of it. Whatever a man cre- ates belongs to him alone, and no one, whether individually or as society, has any right to demand a share. But there is a value created by men jointly which Èiociety may take s and. should take and which when tali- ,.. would relieve labor and the products' of labor of all the taxes' now levied upoh them. This value which be- longs to society is the land -value re- sulting from the presence and the en- ergy and the industry of all the peo- ple of Montana but svhich is now al- lowed to be taken by a comparatively few individuals. Let Montana adopt the Single -Tax system—the system of taxing land-valuès only—and the will make astride forward such as can not be dreamed of under the present sys- tem. Then not only the mining but every industry will becneentegestaiml- indestrial development will be unpre- cedented. .And the mining industry, being the greatest industry in Mon- tana, will receive the -greatest encour- agement. The prospector and the de- veloper of mines will not fear the less of his little all through taxation in ease his mine should prove a failure. He .will know that lie is safe from the tax gatherer until his mine is paying and then he will be willing to give to the public the share that society demands. That is the kind of encouragement to give to industrial development, but justice demands that it. shall be given told] and not to a few. .. One of the most troublesome ques- tions which the Constitutional Con- vention of Montana now in session in Helena will have to wrestle with will be that of taxation, made doubly troublesome by the persistence of those engaged in various interests in the Territory in endeavoring to secure exemption from taxation for years to éome by making the exemption a con- stitutional provision instead of leav- ing the question to be settled by the legislative body of the new State. The Constitution should have the character of a permanent document. It is not expected nor is it desirable that itshould be steject to frequent changes. It should not thereföre con- tain .provisions which naturally re- quire frequent change. The subject of taxation is one in regard to • which there are no well -settled and definite conclusions. There is almost universal dissatisfaction' with .the prevailing system of taxation. and in numerous cities and States the subject is receiv- ing official investigation with the view of making such _changes as would make taxation more just and equita- ble. Many of the most thoughtful and ,ablest men of the nation are giving the subject their undivided attention, and it seems probable that there will be radical changes in the present sys- tem within the next few years. It would not be wise then to prescribe a system of taxation which could only be changed by the slow and uncertain, priscess of achange in the State Con- stitution. 'It would seem wisest to leave the question to the wisdom of the State Legislatures, the Constitution merely prescribing that when taxes are levied they shall be levied uni- formly and impartially. The industry making the greatest effort kw 'Constitutional exemption freed taxes iiithe min ing industry. The CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION .The Colistitutional Convention of Montana met in Helena ou the Fourth of July in accordance with the en- abling act of Congress and ben the work of forming a Conetitutiorlinder which Montana will be admitted to Statehood. Nearly all the Delegates - elect were present and those not at hand at the opening ' have since pre- sented themselves.

It seem S only a few days ago the sweet little girl was upon the street full of life and with a smile and sweet word to all she saw, l and her mother making preparations to visit her old home; when that I dreadful disease, scarlet fever, took the little child as its victim. All that ' loving hands and kind friends could do, with the constant attendance of the physician, was of no avail, and on the evening of the Fourth the God, who gave her, transplaeted the little flower to the garden above. The funeral took place on the 5th and was largely attended by loving friends. Rev. Wiggins 'fifficiated. Mrs. Maulshagen has the sympathy of all in her sad bereavement. Rev. T. 'A.
