Silver Bow Motor Car Co. # POWER COMPANY CASES FINALLY DISPOSED OF (Continued from Page 1.) iel Boyle, chairman of the public service commission of this state, and James H. Bonner, engineer of the commission, that for rate making purposes the public service commission adopted the theory of physical value plus a percentage for intangible values. After discussion it was evident that a majority of the board felt that there should be no difference in the valuations of properties in this state for rate making purposes and for taxation purposes and they would be adopting the right theory if they adopted substantially the theory of the rate making department of the state. Since there had been no physical valuation made by the public service commission of this state, the board considered the valuations it originally had before it which were made by the Haganaugh valuation engineers of Chicago, Ill. They then ordered that the physical valuations of the properties of these power companies, as originally ascertained by the board of equalization, plus 10 per cent, for the purpose of covering intangible properties, be taken as the assessed valuation of these companies for taxation purposes, Mr. Ford and Mr. Porter voting "no." The members of the board stated that the 10 per cent increase was based upon the fact that the board originally assessed the property upon [its?] physical or replacement value and did not add a percentage such as the public service commission had, in order to get a valuation similar to that adopted by the public service commission to cover both physical and intangible values, they adopted similar methods and percentages as the publiclic [sic] service commission uses. The three companies affected, the Montana Power company, the Great Falls Power company and the Thompson Falls Power company were originally assessed for more than $33,000,000.

Appropriations asked of congress for the completion of reclamation projects in the western states will be materially increased by the recent trip to Washington of representatives of the West, in the opinion of Lieut. Gov. W. W. McDowell. The organization of the Western States Reclamation association will also have a marked effect on the amount which will be set aside for this work, he says. Mr. McDowell has returned from a visit to the capital as a member of the delegation of 50 representatives sent by the 13 western states to place before congress the necessity of an appropriation sufficient to complete the projects which are already under way. Included in the delegation were Governors Davis of Idaho, Campbell of Arizona, Hart of Washington, Larrzolo [sic] of New Mexico and Bamberger of Utah; Lieutenant Governors Stevens of Colorado and McDowell of Montana. State Senator John E. Edwards of Rosebud county, a member of the executive committee of the association, was also a representative from this state. ### On Special Train. The trip east was made on a special train from Denver and was in accordance with a decision of the Western States Reclamation association to unite in an effort to secure a sufficient appropriation for the completion of projects already started. Backed by the 26 senators and the 80 congressmen representing the 13 states in the association, it was felt a showing would be made sufficiently imposing to force favorable action by congress. "I am confident that our trip East will result in the western states being given a larger amount than would otherwise have been the case," said Gov. McDowell in speaking of the work of placing the matter before congress. We may not get the whole amount we asked for, $250,000,000, as the republican majority in congress seems to be in a mood for retrenchment, but undoubtedly the method adopted in placing the needs of the West before them will result in a much larger appropriation than would have been the case if we had not made the trip. ### Not an Experiment. "We placed the facts before congress that reclamation in the West is not an experiment, and showed that several projects completed last year had produced crops of a value of three or four times as much as the total cost of the whole project. We produced figures and facts to show that irrigation in the eWst [sic] has been proved practical. An instance cited was that of the Kittitas project in Washington, which last year produced crops to the value of $58,000,000 and the entire cost of the project was but $17,000,000. "We laid proofs before congress showing similar facts were true in many of the other irrigated projects of the West. We showed congress that we have the land and the water and all that we need is the advance of sufficient money to finance the projects, the money to be repaid the government by the water users within a few years. ### Avert Damage. "Damages to the amount of millions of dollars each year, caused by the floods on the lower Mississippi, may be averted by the building of reclamation projects in the states [advertisement, boxed] [illustration: a pair of eyes behind spectacles] We are specialists in correcting eyesight.

Walsh of Missoula will assume charge of the work of the internal revenue bureau in Montana on Feb. 1, according to information received at the Butte office of the bureau. Announcement is made that the local office will be closed from noon Jan. 30 to Feb. 1 to permit the work of transferring records. The books of the office, stamps, supplies and records will be taken to [column continues] tributary, where the water from melting snow is held and used for irrigation purposes. The crest of the flood waters held by these projects, little loss of property along the river will be occasioned by the yearly floods which have proved disastrous. This point was also laid before congress. "I am of the opinion that our trip was productive of much good, and the projects in the West will be benefited greatly by the showing made," Mr. McDowell continued. "Speaking for myself, I am thoroughly in favor of doing everything which can be done in favor of the irrigation of semi-arid lands, either by state or national aid, and making hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of taxable property out of the deserts." ### Complete All Projects. Mr. McDowell outlined the plan submitted by the reclamation association as a request for the government to issue bonds to the amount of $250,000,000, which sum would be sufficient to complete all projects under way at the present time, and additional ones contemplated. Sale of bonds would provide the necessary money for financing the projects and the money would be repaid to the government within a short time by the water users, the amount paid being based on the water used. The Western States Reclamation association was formed in Salt Lake City about two months ago, when representatives of the Western states met in conference. Mr. McDowell was chosen vice president of the association, which is headed by Gov. D. W. Davis of Idaho. # UNIONS AND EMPLOYERS COMPLETE ORGANIZATION (Continued from Page 1.) of making a settlement, Mr. Baker continued. "Every union realizes that if it is possible to come to an agreement now on wages and working conditions that much material benefit must result for all concerned," Mr. Baker declared, adding, however, that the only way that the unions could perceive that any direct benefit would arise from such an agreement was from an $1 increase in wages. Each of the unions had instructed its representatives to ask for such an increase, he said. Speaking in a general way from the employers' viewpoint, Mr. McIntosh declared that the aim of the conference was first to stabilize wages and working conditions for 1920, and then to evolve from the agreement a permanent arbitration board to settle differences from year to year, convening again in 1921 and every subsequent year to clear the slate for uninterrupted progress of building. He emphasized the point that each side had entered the conference with an idea of dealing fairly with the other side. "For 10 years there has not been any building of any size erected in Butte that was not interrupted because of labor troubles that might have been brought on by one side or the other," he said. "All such difficulties can be attributed to the lack of any final and definite understanding or agreement on wages and working conditions." ### Two Secretaries. With Mr. McNally seated as chairman of the first meeting, J. H. McIntosh, as secretary for the Associated Industries and Fred Manuell in a same capacity for the unions, took places beside the presiding officer to record the meeting for each side. They will act in that scope to the end of the conference, it was decided. Though it was first thought that two chairmen, one from each group, would expedite matters by making the work of presiding much easier, it was virtually concluded last night to have but one permanent chairman, who will be elected tonight. Both committees were pleased with Mr. McNally's selection. Each meeting of the conference will be limited to two hours, and in adhering to this rule, last night's gathering adjourned at 9:30 o'clock after fixing upon tonight for the next get-together. Shortly after the addresses, a committee of three from each group was appointed to examine the credentials of the delegates, following which a roll was called. John Coppo, Charles Goddard and W. A. O'Brien represented the employers on credentials committee, while George Baker, J. E. Meeghan and John Gore acted for the unions. ### New York Agreement. In the course of the meeting an agreement reached by 130,000 craftsmen and employers of the building industry in New York was submitted as a possible guide to the conference in settling wages and working conditions and providing for a permanent arbitration agreement. The eastern contract fixes a wage scale which is subject to readjustments should the cost of living materially change. Stipulated trade agreements cannot be changed except upon mutual agreement, and an arbitration board, consisting of five representatives from each group, is constituted by the pact. The discussion in the 10 groups centered chiefly upon a wage scale, it was said last night, but until a solution of the problems is apparent in each case no report will be made to the conference as a whole. Bound by the usual parliamentary proceedings, the respective representatives of each particular craft cannot meet outside of the conference or the hours appointed for the meetings, thereby making it necessary to transact all business in the gatherings. At the close of each meeting, the time for reconvening will be determined. ### Union Delegates. Following are the delegates chosen from the unions in the building trades council and constituting the labor committee: Carpenters, J. E. McNally and William Stephens. Plumbers, M. Murray and W. H. McNally. ## Column 4 Helena to be checked in by the new collector for the state before he assumes charge of the office, the Butte office being closed until this work is completed.

Including the two secretaries provided by each group, but who are not participating in the deliberations, 42 members of the employes and employers are on the conference roll. Last night it was not thought likely that the workingmen's union would be represented and that the conference will go through to an end as at present constituted. # COUNSEL FOR SOCIALISTS PRESENTING THEIR CASE ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 23.—Evidence for the defense in the case of the five socialist assemblymen suspended during an investigation by the judiciary committee of their eligibility was massed today at an all-day conference between the quintet and their counsel. The evidence collected, according to a statement, "will prove conclusively that the socialist party is now, and it always has been a legitimate political party operating in the open and on perfectly legitimate and constitutional lines." ### ELKS TO BUILD HOME.

Districting and soliciting committees were appointed, and preliminary arrangements completed for the opening of the intensive work on Feb. 12. Lincoln's birthday was selected because of its significance in American history, instead of Feb. 14, the date set by the American commission on Irish independence, of which Frank P. Walsh is chairman. St. Patrick's day was chosen as the date on which to end the drive and celebrate the event. ### Drive Plans Explained. State Chairman James E. Murray of the American commission explained the plan of the drive to the general committee. Bonds will be issued in denominations of $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. They will be non-negotiable and non-interest bearing until the Irish republic has been fully established and recognized by the nations of the world, principally the United States. Six months after the republic receives international recognition and the British forces have been withdrawn from the territory of Ireland, the bonds will begin to bear interst [sic], providing they have been converted to gold bonds of the republic. The drive in Silver Bow county will be under the direction of Chairman John J. Caplis, Treasurer J. J. Harrington and Secretary Mrs. Mamie Lenihan, acting in conjunction with the committee appointed to devise means of raising the funds, districting the county, and appointing solicitors. The committee is as follows: Barry O'Leary, John Gribben, Judge J. J. Lynch, James J. Murphy, W. J. Sewell, Catherine Harrington and Margaret O'Meara. ### Liberation Is Certain. Judge Lynch, in a brief talk, said: "The liberation of Ireland is as sure as the fact that we are sitting here; whether it happens today, tomorrow or years hence, it is sure to happen. Empires as great, as powerful and as potential as Great Britain have fallen. These bonds will help bring the date of that fall nearer." Great enthusiasm was evoked by Major Deeney when he said: "The wedge for the dissolution of the British empire is being driven. Ireland, the wedge, will welcome any agency that will expedite the dissolution." ### Leap Year Dance.
