my work though they may enjoy
music.
The career of an artist whatever
his or her line of endeavor, is no
easy one. It means hard work and
constant work, keeping eternally at
it in thought or exercise twenty-four
hours of the day. It is really amusing,
some of the questions I have been
asked about my work. For instance
how much money, how many lessons
and how long it would take one to be
able to sing well. No money on earth
can produce the full-throated abandon
and joyous song of your Florida mock
ing bird. It is much the same with the
artist, no money, no sacrifice, no labor
is too great to expend so he may bring
a ray of sunshine into the shadows of
our lives. Love and love alone can
make the artist. Love of work, if you
wish
so. No, not my singing.
I am just an instrument, in the hands
of your God and mine. If I please you
I am happy.
Miss Patterson studied for many
years with the most famous masters
of Italy including the late Vincenzio
Lombardi, Signora Media Borelli, and
the distinguished conductor Leopoldo
Muguone, and has appeared with
great success in principle operatic
roles at many of the important Opera
houses of Italy. She has also appear
ed in concerts with the famous sym
phony orchestra La Filmarmonica of
Rome Italy.
Miss Patterson has received the
stamp of approval of the public and
press alike of the music centers of
Europe and America.
Diking her engagement in West
Palm Beach, Miss Patterson will sing
some of the masterpieces of Opera as
well as the more popular airs.

REVIEW ACTIVITIES OF MONTANA
LEGISLATURE DURING FAST WEEK 1
Interest in the legislative mill will
be about equally divided between the
lower and upper hous.es during the
ensuing week. Tests of strength are
scheduled for both branches of the
law-making body and the session of
the Eighteenth legislative assembly,
now half completed, it is expected
will witness during the remaining half
a departure from the harmony that
has so far prevaded it. Intensely
partisan are some of the members of
both branches and undoubtedly some
of the really impoi'tant issues that
will appear this week will force the
members to line up on one side or the
other. With this in mind it is ru
mored that the little group that at
tempted to organize a farm bloc at
the opening of the assembly may re
new its efforts. Such a bloc un
doubtedly could control the house if
the proper leaders were forthcoming.
As conditions are now, Scharnikow,
of Powell county, Democratic floor
leader, apparently is the one member
whose words carry greatest weight
on the floor of the house
In the Senate no real test has yet
occurred, although with the appear
ance of the tax commission bill» wnich
probably will come from the com
mittee on taxation during the latter
part of the week, hot debate will en
sue. The battle, however, can not
be construed as a test between the
administration adherents on one side
and the independent Republicans and
minority members on tbe other. The
solons realize that they must pass a
tax commission bill. They are under
a mandate from the people and any
attempt to amend
the bill will be
made simply in an effort to give to
the people the kind of a commission
they desire.
The inheritance measure which has
been in the hands of the House com
m ittee on revenue and taxation, will
re P°ried out. It is understood
thet numerous amendments have been
made and that home of the more
drastic provisions of the law have
been altered, if not stricken out in
entirety. Consideration of
will n °t be until the latter part
of the week, as the measure must
printed. The printing of the
15,000-word bill will consume at
least a day.
The return of the inheritance meas
ure probably will be followed by a re
P°ri on the mine tax measure by the
same committee. This measure, m
troduced by Strange, of Ravalli, pro
vides for a tax of one and one-half
per cen t on l* 16 gross proceeds/ of
metalliferous ores, the tax to be paid
directly by the smelters handling the
ores- The smelters would then place
w ... f ohinner the
Lt - fh - of the shipper tne
tax paid by them loathe stats on WS
shipper's ore.
There is a possibility that the fifth
administration measure, providing for
the bill
an increased tax on the gross produc
tion of Crude oil, will be presented m
the House. The fourth measure, the
income tax bill, which has been ex
pected each day, will be introduced
this week. It is understood that, al
though numerous meetings have been
held in the governor's office, the chief
executive and the members of the
House and Senate taxation commit
tees cannot agree on the provisions,
xt the last meeting, which was held
Saturday, it it leported that the
mittee members showed a good dea
of an tipathy toward the bill and none
0 ff ere( j to present it. Now it is un
derst00ti that the E ov « rn » r in .' e " da

of tho£.e who could be present at an
execution to 12 persons, six peace of

the whole finished firing amendments
at the bill the audience was increased
in such a manner that it could include
the attorney of the defendant and any
near relatives of the person to be ex

The original bill also specified that
no person should be within 200 feet
of the scene of execution an hou* be

distance was shortened, to 20 feet.

One of the farmers is keeping tab j
the Legislature in Helena. We all j
know that there was a majority both
i in the House and Senate that was sent j
there to back Governor Dixon's !
on
over
program to equalize taxes. Aie they j
going to do it? The Big Interests j
could well afford to spend large sums
^ mo to knock out the Dixon p i an
^ make them pay equal ta xes with us ;
farmen W e have been paying 40 % j
of tbe taxes; they have not been pay-'
QVer 8%> Now there is n0 use !

are killed or (ixed up a0 ;

done. Then there are the millionaires!
i n the State that could well spend a
million dollars to defeat the inherit-|
ance tax the * ame as th ®y . dld two
years ago. They have then- men
right there on the job that did the
work two years ago Of course they
will not have Edwards in the Senate
to work for them as he has gone
down to political oblivion, but there
may be others that will do the same
thing and go the way he went.
Of the many useless bills that any
ever cursed with.
j Legislature was

sion. That is what the paid Lobby is
.doing; trying to take the people's at- ;
i tention from the main issues. One
of the most foolish bills of them all
Vas to do away with the Chancellor
of our Universities. Surely such a ;
bill should not get any consideration
after our experience before and after j
having a Chancellor and it is pleasing j
to know that the bill was killed,
Then there is the income
another of Governor Dixon's measures,
which is fair and will help to lift some
0 f the burden of taxes from us. How
many are there in our State that are ]
getting from three thousand dollars:
to five thousand dollars a year ? They I
come and go. Nine-tenths of them
own no property, pay no taxes, for |
they do not know bow long their jobs !
are going to last I am not saying j
that they get too much money, but I j
do say while they are here they should
help pay tbe tax burden. How many
high salaried men are there on the,
High Way Commission? Why'
tax,—
:
.
should not they help pay their share
of the taxes while they are here.
Now the Big Interest think they
can down Governor Dixon. They will
—just like the Southern Pacific. Rail
road downed Johnson in California.
Just like the Big Interests downed La
Follette in Wisconsin. Dixon will be
right on the job until they get this
State out of debt and on their feet,
where it has been put the last thirty
years.
One Hundred Seventy
thousand dollars ($177,000.) saved in
the cost of operating the State Peni

payers in two years and it will be a
good deal more in the next two years

This sugar is generally marketed in

average as a whole. In some season?
this difference is as much at three
quarters of a cent a pound in favor
of the Billings-Lovell sugar. This
would be equivalent under the sliding
tecale to an increase of $1 or more
pet ton for the farmers tributary to
these two factories.
Should 1 the market rule as high

in this district will receive in the
neighborhood of $1 more pet ton for
