B Separates Wild Oats The Only Machine That Separates Wild Oats From All Grain For years the wild oats nuisance has been ruining your grain, your land, your profits. It’s time you did something to stop all this waste. Wild oats are easily and quickly gotten rid of by using a Hoiland Wild Oats Separator. It prevents the great amount of dockage that costs you big money every year. £ How My Machine Works. The big drum of my separator is lined with canton flannel. Canton flannel is soft and anything with whiskers on it sticks to it. If you don’t know what canton flannel is like, ask your wife, or turn one of your “canvas gloves” inside out. -All varieties of wild oats have whiskers. These whiskers stick to the canton flannel lining of my separator ¢ and are carried to the top of the drum, where two wires scrape them off in a chute that carries them into a box at the side of the machine, Tame oats and tame grain do not have any whiskers so they do mot stick to the canton flannel, but remain at the bottom of the machine. The canton flannel lin- . ing that goes with every Hoiland Wild Oats Separator is good for separating 2,000 bushels of grain. After you have run 2,000 bushels through the machine, you can buy a new lining from me for only $2 and you are ready for another 2,000 bushels, - HOILAND Wild Qats Separator The Hoiland is the only wild oats separator that absolutely separates wild oats from tame oats as well as from all other grain. Every machine is sold under an absolute guarantee that it will take 99 4-5 per cent of the wild oats out of your tame grain or you get your money back. Order your machine right now.

L HE Z : ; - Mention' th e Leader When Writing ‘Advertisers likely to become’exhausted and that mining is a risky venture; are taken up by Doctor Levine. Doctor Levine quotes freely and voluminously 'the earnings and the tax on capital stock. . 'He does not come out in favor of fmg one of these methods.’ He merely cites the facts and lets-the readers of .the .~ mine owners’ own arguments. Then~ book draw their own conclusions. he .gives something of the other side. ™ He quotes the experience of history to show that agricultural land is de- pleted with each crop that it grows, just as -a mine is depleted by the ex- traction of metal. He shows that the Anaconda Copper Mining company secures new properties to replace ex- tracted ore, just as a farmer puts value back in his. soil in commercial fertilizer. | S RISKS OF MINERS AND RISKS OF FARMERS - In discussing the risk assumed by miners, Doctor Levine cites the risks assumed by farmers, quoting the United States department of agricul- Qure Year Book for 1910, as follows: “In the West chances are 100 to 1 agzainst the farmer. The wheat crop is a gamble pure and simple. Big crops mean big fortunes. A failure on a cgop means ruin.” Doctor Levine quotes the late Cecil Rhodes, who as a .financier, mining man and public man was one of the best known men of his generation. Mr. Rhodes said: “I] have made a great study of the mining ' question. and have statistics not only of Great Brit- ain and Africa but of the world, carefully . compiled, relating to this proposition, so that-I ought not to be in error. My investiga- tion shows that farming is more risky than mining * * * and 17 per cent more men lose money. in any eother business than in mining.” Doctor Levine also quotes Herbert C. Hoover, J. R. Finlay and other in-_ ternationally known mining authori- ties. As a clincher, he quotes John D. Ryan and C. F. Kelly, former and present president of the Anaconda Copper Mining company, to show the permanence that they attach to their own mining operations, when they are not trying to escape taxation. After studying Montana conditions, Doctor Levine proceeds to give some facts about how mine taxation is con- ducted in other states. He shows, in- cidentally, that if the Arizona system had been followed in Montana in the year 1917, Montana mines, instead of being assessed at $62,012,0568, would have been assessed $199,765,344, or more than three times the value plac- ed upon them by Montana. Doctor Levine discusses different methods that have been suggested and tried elsewhere for mine taxation— the tonnage tax, the tax on gross Throughout the entire book there is_a marked freedom from dogmatic conclusions and statements. Nowhere does Doctor Levine even suggest state ownership or control of mines. Even in his concluding chapter on “Practical Suggestions” there is no_ attempt to advise the people or the legislature of Montana as to just what they should do. Doctor-Levine ends this chapter and his book by this pro- posal: : “The state of Montana is apparently to have a permanent tax commission which will be created by the present legislature. * * * Might not the _problem' of mine taxation be consid- erably advanced by specific instrue- - | tions to the permanent tax commis- sion to make a special study of the problem and to report to the next legislature? * * * With such a report before them the people of Mon- tana should ‘have ne difficulty two years hence in solving a problem which has been the cause of g0 much perplexity and friction.” This is Doctor Levine's “radicalism.” ALUMNI €ONDEMN ELLIOTT’S GAG RULE The suspension of Doctor Levine has not ended the Levine case. 'The alumni of the University of Montana, several thousand strong, have adopted a set of: resolutio by referendum vote, directed to . Governor Stewart, Chancellor Elliott and the state board of education, taking exception to the pronouncement that “university men shall not mix in legislative political controversies,” and stating their oppo- sition for the following reasons:- “The purpose of a university is one of service, and to achieve that ebject the university must be able te give to the people of the state an oppor- tunity for education and information essential to their well-being and hap- piness. : “Many of the important questions before the people of the state'are of a political nature which the people, through the ballot, may ultimately be called upon to decide. -To vote intel- ligently the people must have agcess to information on these questions which is unbiased, scientific and ac- curate. The university is an institu- tion from which the people may just- ly expect to receive such information. The' policy of noninterference in leg- islative political matters might hinder’ the university in acting .in this ca- pacity and deny to the members of its faculty the right to make known the result of their study or investigation.” Lumbermen Write Congressman Baer -~ Some business men, when they have the facts put before them squarely by friends. of the farmer, are big enough to realize that their prosperity is dependent upon the farmers. .. Representative John M. Baer of North Dakota, elected by the organized farmers, spoke recently on the subject Jersey lumbermen’s meeting. Later secretary: T 3 NEW Hon. John M. Baer, % House of Representatives, Washington; D. C. of \the,Nonpartisan league before a New he' got the following letter from the JERSEY LUMBERMEN’S ASSOCIATION y 3 Dear Mr. Baer: While I expressed my appreciation and thanks for the great courtesy in coming to Newark to tell us about the work of the Nonpar- tisan.league I want to put in writing our sense of obligation for the splendid message that you gave to the group of representative men from all parts of the.state, which we hope will bear fruit in the future. : : " I talked with several at the close of the meeting, all of whom came from country points, and I dwelt upon-the fact that they could not expect to be real prosperous in their lumber business if the farmers -whom they serve were poverty-stricken because of their inability to obtain for their products any- . thing like their true value and the importance of arousing an individual in- terest in the matter of transportation and markets. -1 hope it will lead to the effecting of organizations through the leader- ship of some of our lumber friends. Again thanking you I beg to remain sincerely and truly yours, SRR ¢ (Signed) "J. M. REILLY, Sec:gtaify.v; i
