PAUöHTBR^ - \ a j S' P ~ LOOKING FORWARD TO TAX EQUALIZATION IN THE TREASURE STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, OF THE STATE OF MONTANA. KALIS PELL, MONTANA, APRIL ."», 1924. » » Editor "Rozeman Courier. Dear Sir: I wish to thank you for your article on the mine tax bill to be in itiated. It is the only way the peo ple of Montana can get a mine tax law through. It has been tried through legislative action many times, and failed. However, the question will never be settled right until the constitutional provision, relating to mines is replaced, the indications are that this pres ent move will be highly success ful, as much interest is being shown from all quarters of the state. The mining industry furnishes over fif ty per cent of the inmates of sev eral of our state institutions, and are compelled to All thc rest of us ntribute heavily to support this ind'/. .«trial waste, due to this We know that the mine ci. h - fr e ii:u trv. 11 :n hi initiated, is a step ht direction to finally tux in tii ng matter out of the \\ hen this is done, take l e er t.r constitution. equality will be secured and tax the prostitution of our politics will Looking forward to this I ! cease, great day, I remain, Your very truly, W. S. McCORMACK.

As usual, the schoolboys were the first ones to don the gloves and got out the ball and bat. This, in spite of the fact that the ground, in most places, is still sunder a blanket of snow. I j But the kids are not the only ones ■ who are thinking of baseball now. , "Bnaser C G. Jameson of the Boze An ^tars has inhaled the air j of spring and is now busily preparing the hall club that is to represent Bozeman in the realm of baseball this man season. He is already laying plans for games with Helena, Billings, Liv ingston, Butte and all other leading clubs from this part of the state and promises a program for 1924 that will give Bozeman fans the best there is in the national game. U. S. Senator Burton K. Wheeler Is Indicted By Federal Jury The biggest bombshell to explode in the camp of the partisan investigators of the national oil scandal in Washington, was the news reching Bozeman this morning that United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, former unsuccessful Democratic candidate for -governor of this state and later winner of the Democratic sen atorial toga, for the past several weeks acting as prosecutor of the senate Daugherty investigating committee, was indicted yesterday by a federal grand jury in Groat Falls, on a charge of having ac-. cepted money as a retainer fee, after he became United States senator, to influence the granting of oil land permits. Gordon Campbell, noted in Montana and other northwestern, and western oil states, as a geologist, and L. C. Stevenson, a well-knowq oil operator and oil stock promoter, were jointly indicted with WTeeler. Senator B. K. Wheeler is technically charged with the violation -of Section 113 of the penal codes, a conviction carrying a penalty of a $10,000 fine and imprisonment of not more than two years. Dis trict Attorney Slattery stated that Wheeler would have to provide a bond of $1,000 in Washington to insure his appearance for trial in the Great Falls federal court before Federal Judge Charles N. Pray, Campbell and Stevenson, who were the discoverers of the Sun burst-Kevin oil field, in Montana, are charged in a single indict ment with using the mails to defraud. Charles L. Blumhoff and E. D. Dailey, oil men, were indicted in a third separate indictment charged with sending fradulent matter through the mails. The size of the fee which it was alleged Senator Wheeler re ceived was not stated officially, newspaper men being told by de partment of justice officials that it was $10,000. The money was alleged to have been paid to Senator Wheeler as a member of the law firm of Wheeler and Baldwin, of Butte, and not as an individual. The fee, it is charged, was paid by Gordon Campbell. Stevenson and Campbell formerly were associates in the oil promotion busi ness, but later became businer-a rivals, dividing their acreage in the Kevin-Sunburst field. There is approximately 2,860 acres of land covered by the leases and permits involved in the indictments against Senator Wheeler and Gordon Campbell, for whom it is charged Senator Wheeler used his influence. A portion of the land is situated in the main producing ' area of the Kevin-Sunburst field in Toole county, in Montana. - DeVAald, M. S.

I Giving Grace Köningen credit for be > ing one of the wonder cows of the age, he, at the same time, pointed out that the record would have been impossible if there had not been men ! of vision and understanding to dir j ect and encourage. History of Holstein Herd ! Dean F. B. Linfield, director of the j Experiment Station, told of the his tory of the college Holstein herd ex ! plaining the importance of a few wise purchases, some 20 years ap<>. at which! time, cows were secured upon which todays famous herd i- ; founded. He also called attention to ; the mistaken notion that records of this kind were possible at experiment stations because such institutions had j considerable 1 building up dairy herds. He explain ! ed that during the 20 years time thejt^ i Montana State college Holstein he-:i had been in* existance, only a little j more than $1000 has been spent for 'herd sires, and the four important I foundation cows cost slightly more money available for than $500.
