numbers, but said they were ready to

they would perhaps notice that ex
cept on strictly party measures, the
Hon. Dan M. Kelly, attorney for the
A. C. M., is always called into con
sultation: th.ey would also notice
that Speaker Belden gives more con
sideration to the opinions of Mr.
Kelly than he does to the views of
the floor-leader of the republican
party.
Littlc Friction.
There is never any friction when
the question is the preservation of
political autocracy, except the oppo
sition of fifteen that have been vot
ing solidly against Prussianism in
Montana for the last two weetks.
And how that little- group is
hated! It is not hard to believe.
sometimes, that the clock has been
turned back, a.nr that we live again
in the pre-Civil war period when
the abolitionists were hated and
hunted lile mad dogs.
Saturday, when one of the spokes
men of the minority. protesting
vainly against the brazen efforts to
disfranchise a large group of this
state's people. poured forth a torrent
of words that scorched and burned
an indictment of the servile crew,
the same expression was on the faces
of the majority that we see pictured
in the olui prints depicting the burn
ing of heretics. Autocracy with its
back to the wall, fighting for its
life, is not a pretty sight.
Loudly the majority yell their
"ayes" when their leaders cracked
their whips, yet the look of fear for
the vengeance of anl outraged peo
ple fought the expressions of hatred
of these same people.
Relief Measures Voted Down.
Called together to relieve the
drouth-stricken farmers of the
burnt-out portions of the state,
every measure for real relief has
been voted down; sardonic laughter
has greeted everyone who attempted
to carry out the stated purpose of
the session.
Mc'one 111il Attacked.
The McCone bill for the creation
of new counties, passed at the regu
lar session, was the first subject for
attack; the pirate crew wants ni
more counties; more counties make
the task of controlling both houses
more difficult.
Despite the fact the McCone billi
puts thie question of new counties to
c a vote of the people affected thereby,
a and that six or seven counties are
ready to vote on division, all prep
arations having been made, Speaker
Belden led the fight for the repeal of
the act; he is attorney for the Great
y Northern railway and the flour-mill
ing trust in this state; Ryan and
.1 Kelly of the A. C. M. are two of the
,t directors in this enterprise; further
comment would be superfluous.
Enoulgh Signatures Secured. |
Attorney General Ford ruled that
enough signatures had been securedi
to defer action on the amendments
to the primary law submitted to the
people at the regular session last
winter.
So a committee composed of cor
poration lawyers and would-be cur
poration lawyers was appointed to
investigate the matter.
They report back that the attor
ney general is wrong, the principal
reason for this conclusion seemingly
is because he has listened to the
voters instead of the politic;ans.
Something must be done'
Will Be Voted I)own.
If the election is held despite thle b
ruling of the attorney general on
Sept. 2, it is obvious that the amend
ments will be voted down, anyway.v
If the vote on the amendrlent is!,
postponed until the coming general
election, they will also be beaten.
More than that, and far worse from
the standpoint of the buzzards; can-i
didates in the general election will!
he nominated under the presentl
primary law. That means the end;
of corporation lmisrule and cannot
be tolerated.
Not Impossible.
The situation is delicate but not
impossible of solution if, as in the
case with the.majority members of
the house and senate, you care
nothing fot the principles of honestyi
and integrity.
So they repealed a nceasire tbal
had not yet become law--the meas
sure amending the present primaryi
-a, measure that. had not yet beena
voted upon by the citizens:
An Emergency Measure.
Then they enacted a new rrimary
law and to prevent its being votcdl
on by the electorate, declared it an'
emergency mIIeax a ure and necessaryl for' I
the preservation of the peace all.t
safety of the state!
No such shameless proceedings has'
over been witnessed in the historyl
of this stale, replete as that history;
is with recor'ds of bribery and cor
ruption.
Last fall an honest judge was
elected to the supreme court. The
private ownership of the :upremlc
bench by the corporate interests is
threatened.
With splendid courage, the special
session. urged on by every corpoi
ation lawyer in the assembly. steps
into the breach:
Two New Judges.

CHAIITABLE TO
THE fLEGISLATORS
That t.he legislators of Montana,
are not knaves but merely well-in
tentioned children who make many
puerile blunders is the opinion which
Mrs. Margaret Rozsa formed during
a week of lobbying at the state cap
ital.
Mrs. Rozsa, food inspector of
Butte, went over to Helena to see
that the boys did Illthe proper thing
about reducing the high cost of liv
ing.
She has just returned, and she,
says that she doesn't mind lobhying
one bit. It is almost fascinating, she
says. The tmen were all so nice and
admitted their mistakes so humbly
when she set them right. One prom
inent solon confessed to her, she
says. that the whole bunch were sim
ply kids---mea.ning well, but ton
heedless and intellectually deficient
to handle affairs with wisdom.
Relief for Tubercular Soldiers.
iMrs. I.ozsa was istrumlllental in
getting senate bill No. 19 through
the legislature. It provided for giv
in g tubercular ex-service nmen, of
whom there arar 199 in Montana,
preferelnce of eintry to the Galen hlos
pital. and, because Galen is all filled
up and has no quarters for the imen,
it also appropriated $20,(0)0 for
building dormitories there for the
soldiers. The bill passed the senate,
but in te the use the $20.0001 appro
priation was cut off thus really de
feating the purlpose of thi bill, since
swithout additional quarters tihe sol
diers could not be received at Galen.
t'lrs. Rozsa, at the retlquest of Mrs.
Morris of Helena, who is in charge
of the Red Cross at the capital, took
the matter up with Representative
IlHiggins, chairman of the finance
commnlittee and floor leader. lie ex
plained the house had cut off the ap
propriation, purely froml a heedless
misapprehension of thie situation, due
to lack of attention and study on the
part of the house niembers. The;y
hadl assumed, without investigation,
ihat the last winter's appropriation
of $225.000 for the benefit of the
soldiers would cover the case; when,
in reality, that fund is not now avail
able for such a purpose.
T'hus, if the stupid boys in the
legislature had not been called to at
tention by IMrs. Rozsa, the tubercular
Isoldiers would have had their invi
I tation to Galen and Galen would
have had no place to pult thll. to bed.
lBut at Mrs. Rosse's solicitation, the
Honlorable Higgins recalled senate
Ibill No. 19 and the house memlbers
tacked the $20,0100 appropriation
back on and voted it through.
Too Many Cops Already.
Mrs. RIozsa was glad to see the
governor's pet. weasu re, apliintiing
a state sheriff to enforce prohibition,
defeated. The lady uinin:s we al
ready have enough of those fellows
around. She cited Silver Bow coun
ty with its hordes of police and
sheriff's depluties. "There is an
army of them,'' said she, "Silver
Bow would go in your pocket, and
the prohibition law is not bring en
forced in Butte. The governor
simply thought he saw a chance to
provide for another irolinent
demlocrat by malking hini state
sheriff. andl a lot of little democrats
blv making tlhem depluties. I was
glad the bill was killed."
Food 4'onltol Bills Excellent.
As for the food bills in which Mrs.
liozsa was so interested Ih;it sihe
had to attend the session ---sthe says
Ithey finally went Ithrough in fine
shape. She expects satisfactory re
sults from them. As first intro
duced, they were not opposed by the
food profiteers, because. sh' says,.
the bills were so plainly unlcosti
tutional that the wily old mirchantls
figureit on getting them knockted out
by appeal to the supreme court. But
in their final form, the bills, in MAls.
Iozsa,'s opinion, are both cronstiitn
tional and effective. And a good
proof of this, she says, is found in
the strenuous opposition wi'chl they
aroused on the part of the prolltecrs.
Beet and Cane Sugar Crops.
Beet and cane sugar combine to
make nearly an average production of
sugar in this country for the season
beginning in 1918. A little over a
million short tons, or 1,007,050, is the
total of the two crops, according to
estimates, subject to revision, made
by the bureau of crop estimates. The
average of the preceding five years is
1,031,003 tons, or somewhat greater
than the production of 1918.
The cane-sugar crop of 1918, how
ever, is estimated to be 266,950 tons,
or considerably above the average of
the preceding five years, 248,496 tons,
while the beet-sugar crop of 740,100
tons is below the five-year average of
783,108 tons.
Woman's Prerogauve.
The Dearleys had been married a
year and Mrs. D. had cast from her all
the little pretenses and subterfuges
that usually precede the wedding day.
"Tomorrow will be my twenty-sixth
birthday," she said unguardedly.
"Why, Just before our wedding you
told me you were 21," gasped hubby.
"Yes." said his wife, smiling cheer
fully. "but we women age rapidly after
marriage."-Pittsburgh Chronicle-Tele
