NUMBER 16 Blight of Gov’t Control Now that business is picking up in many lines, it finds itself hampered considerably by several government agencies; and this is particularly true as to the railroads. The inter state commerce commission and the railroad labor board stand stubborn ly >n the way of a speedy return to the ire war working conditions. It is much the same way in other lines suffering under the cumbros machin ery of government supervision. The country is losing patience and even the most conservative orunals are demanding relief. \Giect is government control!” says the Breeders Gazette. ‘'Great is government mixing in busienss! Ev eryobdy knows that it takes govern ment five times as long to put up a poetofflcn building as it would take any live private management to do it, and then it costB the government more to do anything than • it costs anybody else. And yet year by year we are putting our faith, and our tax money, more and more in the hands of boards and commissions and bu reaus that function just about as in efficiently as you would expect from the caliber of most of the available appointees. There are good, self sac rificing men in the public service but they are powerless, apparently, to overcome the deadly blight of red tapery that goes with every form of government control over private busi ness \Have we not had about enough of if' What is the farmer getting anyhow, out of the work of all these various creatures of congress, with their expensive offices, their army of attorneys, clerks, stenographers, ma hogany desks, swivel chairs, railroad fares, hotel bills, office supplies, meg sengers, portfolios and short hours and long salaries? Are we not paying rather a round price for all this com plex machinery we have set up dur ing the past ten years? And some of the latest creations have only begun te spend our money ” During the past ten years the na tion has gone wild on bureau control. We are no longer living and doing business under the laws of the land We are under a set of hand-made rules and regulations promulgated by a lot of bureaus that are hamper ing and strangling development in stead of aiding the business of the country. «* Some there are even in these days who would have this blight of gov ernment intereference extend to all lines of industry, bHt they entirely mistake the temper of th'e country and it is almost certain that ty the next decade the trend of legislation will be in the direction of govern ment by law instead of by bureaus, ar r' the unfettering of every legiti mate and worthy industry.— Journal- Stockman, Omaha. SELLS FIFTY FINE BEEF STEERS John Wharton steps to the head of the class so far this season with the sale of BO head of fine beef steers to Fritz Walchly for the Hansen Pack ing eompany of Butte. The price was $6.BO weighed at home, that is, at the Spokane ranch, only a few miles from the feed ground. There are six yearlings in the baneh,- the others are twos and threes. Weighed separately the year lings tipped the beam at 1140, while the bunch made the pretty average weight of 1320.

Breeders' association con test, and Mr. Shoup taking fourth premium. These premiums are exceptionally meritorious considering that the num her of carloads in the show ran high in the hundreds and a great many of' the competing cattle had been hand- raised and handled with the most mmiing care.

Herald PLAY BOTH ENP£ ... I.iciness men dry-land farmers, j 1 n i citizens and professional men, who have had tough sledding during the past two years, may find conso lation under the theory that misery loves company, in the rather amaz ing announcement that the Anaconda 'opprr Mining company operated at a loss of more than JO million dol lars during the last two years A good many of the railroads, and es- peeaüv those up New England way, have a similar story to tell. Not only that, but many roads have been unable to finance themselves, altho’ the Cipper company was able to sell speeuily 100 million dollars worth of newly issued securities recently. The failure of railroads to get along is said in places to be due to the construction of the inter-city concrete roads and competing truck ti ans.p. rtation, which cut into their freight business. They couldn’t sell tiffeir bends because they were in co,rpetition with so many tax-exempt securities, such as county, city and state bonds. During the past two years the big copper company has paid $1,300,000 in taxes in Montana. The cm dition suggests a new deal for Governor Dixon’s tax program which be has carelessly overlooked. In ac't Don to taxes on the net pro cèdes (,* mines, mineral tax and the contemplated tonnage tax, he should incorporate a tax on the net losses of the mining companies; then he would get the industries going and coming, and it wouldn’t make any difference how thé metal market want— Montana A merci an.

Young Lincoln was in the army and stationed at a Virginia post when he was summoned to Wash ington. He got into the theater just in time to gee his father receive his fatal wound. Young Lincoln was secretary of war under Garfield. He was asked by the president to meet him at the station and he reached there Just as Garfield was assassinated. Mr. Lincoln received an invitation to attend the formal opening of the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo and, accompanied by his family, got there just in time to see President McKinley shot by Czolgosz. > A friend happened to be with Mr. Lincoln when he received an Invita tion to attend a presidential inaction ------ at Washington a few years ago.
