Oft Moving to the 91111a. At Reports from all ibe cotton mills Id this sec- on Hoc are to tbe effect tbat there has never be- die fore been such an abundance of labor. Tbe Dt\ movement from tbe farms to tbe mills 1b so v general as to promise an overdoing of tbe a c thing, most or the mills already having a we great deal more labor than tbey can use. Tbe inevitable tendency of sucb a condition, of course, will be to reduce the price of labor.? Yorkvllle Enquirer. While the tendency may be to reduce prlces> j It should In ffcot he a stimulus to tbe building dll of other mills. . au A few of tbat class of politicians who have hl never took any leading part in building mills f(), or contributed muoh In any way to the ixpte- ye rial development of the country are now 1()| seeking to deprive honest and industrou* ac J people of the privilege of working In the br] ' ? mllU. , to It tbe rnsh of operatives to tbe mills ban Ra1 theeflectof reducing tbe wages paid to peo- lh( pie who operate tbe maoblnes, should not a ba HIta vnok Affliuui ? ? ? iiao *unu *ui vuo vujuco unvu t? icuucuu^ tu Hq[ lower their wage*. There Is aa muoh competitlOD for the good plaoea as there in for the t js| poorest. It all soundB very nice for the mills ad( to talk of redoolDg the wageB of the operative lQ who receives eighty cents a day, but we hear nothing about reducing the salary of the offloers who do leaa work and who may receive from five to ten times as muoh pay. The only corporation that we know of which acted fairly with its employees was the SoutbB era Railway. 8everal years ago the business H and profits of the road was small. The an|K nounoement was made that the pay of all employees receiving more than a specified F ffijf small amount should be reduced twbnty per B oent. BR ' But we have heard of no cotton mill mak- pie lng reductions where they could be best afyforded wl Tbey generally act on the opposite plan val from the Southern, and reduoe the pay of those wbo receive least, while the salary of me those wbo reoelve most Is not touched. roc Another Inequality and Injustice that Is too often practiced on the poor people at the cot- 0f ton mills is In the matter of rents. The hum lnt ,i- " V \\q blest laborer must pay a fair rental for bis borne, while tbe officers generally live Id ani much better bouses and very often pay no Ca rent stall. To be an officer In a cotton mill tben must fro be a glorious thing. He la not disturbed by to i cots in salaries, and baa no rents to pay., ^ If there 18 one thing that needs regulation An by law It Is just snob discriminations against 8cl , - tbe laboring man In favor of the officers. Tbe man wbo receives ninety cents a day bet can til afford to bave ten per coDt. of tbat pay "?' cutoff. Tbe man wbo receives several dollarsaday, and incidental advantages, and do ron rent to pay, couid belter afford to bave bis tb< [ ' , i | .

A man On who receive a big salary la better able to pay ^ rent than the poor creature whose Income tht may be less than a dollar a day. or Let the Legislature enoourage the building of mills, ao that all the people may get work, fr0 and to that the competition for places in th< them may not press down the pay of the ^ poor. The offloera, It seems, being a close cor- naj poratlon, are not affected by hard times. I The exercise of common sense by the Leglslature is what the country needs.

As a result, the people expect an aw * extension, and are no longer fooled by the threat to olose the books and to add a penalty The present plan of titf&lng with the people, it seems to us, should be dlsoontlnued> A Allt la.everr man haa a rlirht. to mail nntil $ the last boar for paying' taxes. There W ?Neither reason, Justice or common sense lor B) him to pay In Ootober when be can Just as well pay on tbe last day of February. t Then, the demand for extension Is always tb< made, whether with or without reason, we are unable to pay. We only speak of tbe fact. r-j To avoid extension of time, and t? secure an all tbe money tbat tbe State needs, we Buggest: Bai First?That the limit be fixed for tbe first day of March In eacb year, without giving authority for an extension. ^ 8econd?To secure the needed money, open ? J the books on the first day of October for tbe sbi collection of taxes. As all tax payers have a R" right to wait nntll tbe first of March, then teg give the tax payers a discount of tbe half o' age one per cent a month?or, better still, a dls count of six mills a month for anticipating W1 payment. lac This discount would bring to tbe treasury all tbe money tbat wonld be needed. As a le8 rale, tbe railroads, tbe banks, tbe ootton en mills,and other large tax payers, would be aw tbe first, Instead of tbe last, to pay.

Iri all the citie 1 large towns of the stato there is * mand for farm products and fo: bulkier and heavier products, such a it and straw and grain. e In many cases the surrounding < 0 try is quite capable of supplying y demand; in all cases it should do 1 far as possible; in most cases it doej Instead, supplies are brought in bj or canal from far away, perhaps other states; while at the same I within a few miles of the market a supplied, are farms that have ? abandoned aa not worth forking others whose owners are in chronk > oontent and despair at the apparen ' possibility of getting profitable p r for their crops. The big farms oi 0 west, they say, monopolize tho mar y and so farming here no longer payi Q Now, one prime secret of the tr< d lies in the bad roads, which keej e producer auu iu? vxjiifiumai a pax . making it difficult, if not impose i- for the farmers to get their produ ^ market. The farmer 1,000 miles i e oan get his crops to market by n canal more easily and more cheaply the farmer only ten miles away can his in over roads that are so hillj rough and miry that half a ton heavy load for a horse to draw at a B footpace. It is not that farms in the east ai longer productive, nor that the ea market no longer offers fair prices ,t is that the roads between the farm; > the markets are so bad as to make i g ment unprofitable. Good roads thro i> out the farming regions adjacent t? e cities and towns would do more i, anything else to restore prosperi e the farmers, enabling them to get e goods to the best possible market ea promptly and oheaply. Good i t would mean good farms, good mar j good prices and good timea for all if oerned. , ] MONTANA HIGHWAYS. i. 1 Recent Lawi Provide For Their Syi ' ?tio Improvement. tt The highways of Montana, by a i passed by the state legislature, ' placed in the charge of the county 0 veyor, and the old office of road si > visor, usually held by an inexperie man, is abolished.

Henry Watterson takes issue w: . good roads advocate who insists j the general government should r charge of road making?that i [ should be national highways built maintained at public expense. The good roads that are needed, the Chicago Times-Herald, those are most needed, in the languag Colonel Watterson, are those that " from the farm to the railroad, the i j" the factory, the school, the church - ferry and the market." ^ I Thio nnf romorlf nf Onlflnol Wflfct* 1 is a condensation, a simplificatioi absolutely plain presentation of wh '7 most wanted in the matter of ; roads.

A' I,MOST EVERY PERSON HA8 NOW OR has had some desire to draw pictures, , and tbe only reason that the demand forar, lists today Is far greater than tbe supply Is , the fact that few young people of tbls day of . hurry can afford to spend from one to four . years In oollege to learn to draw pictures, . Another reason with many Is tbe enormous , charges they have to pay as tuition and for , materials, with the above system and a very , small expense, I can teacb tbe average per , son, even as young a* ten or twelve years, In , from oue to three week* to draw satisfactory life size portraits from photographs, make ' landscapes, sketch direct from nature or ' make any other picture you want any desired slzid.
