THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE.
Senator Barberry Stricken With
Paralysis in the Senate Chamber
Helena, Mont.. Jan. 21. There
is some prospect to-day of a legis
lative compromise on a basis of
house membership of - 27 republi
cans and 26 democrats, the speak
er to be a democrat, btate Senator
Barberry suffered a paraletyc
stroke in the senate chamber. It
is a question if he can appear in
his seat again during the session.
bince the rejection of the propo
sition to compromise the legisla
ture troubles in Montana by the
democratic members of the house
there has been a strong demand
by business interests for a settle
ment. As a result it is stated that
the democrats will make a proposi
tion to morrow that 25 members
of each party, whose selection is
undisputed, go into one house,
that three of the democrats who
claim seats from .Silver Bow
county, and two republicans also
come in, when they will proceed
to the organization of the house.
It is believed the republicans will
cept the compromise and the
deadlock will be ended.
FKCM TANGED T.
A called session of Tanirent
grange was held on Jan. 8. A fair
attendance was present including
several visitors.
The officers for the ensuinz vear
were installed by Mr. T. Froman
and Mr. J. Propst. We then re
paired to the hall below and par
took of the dinner usual on such
occasions. Grange again came to
oider and th? regular order of
business taken up. A resolution
in regard to the mortgage tax law
was ottered and freely discuss d.
We came to the conclusion that no
one was anxious for it to be repeal
ed, but money loancs, who try to
avoid paying their just proportion
of taxes.
The resolution was adopted. We
are unanimously in favor of the
mortgage tax law remaining on the
statutes of Oregon. We see there
is need of closer cooperation of
the farmers and laboring class.
The moneyed powers are contin
ually closing in on us, and it is
time to call them toa halt.
If they are not careful the next
legislature to be elected will be
composed of men who will make
laws for the farn er. The Alliance
will be here ere long, and then
perhaps, the monopolies will begin
to think their time has come, and
well they may.
