understand there are some peddlars OF

doors in their face. They are generally
rogues in disguise looking for means of

enough Legitimate business houses in the
city to farnish all needful articles of
this character. In the meantime, .
large number of persons lounging about
the city without any visible means Of

A chain-gang should be established for
their benefit in case Of their refusal.
About 100 Of such fellows could be

The franchise Fund, for the Benefit Of
Schools.


Some inquiry having been made relative to
the act passed by the Legislature last winter
relative to the per cent levied upon the gross
proceeds of toll roads, bridges and ferries
for general information quote portion of
the law. - - - Obj
SEC. l. Two per cent of the gross proceeds
of all toll roads. bridges, ferries, and all 9TH
er franchises heretofore granted by the7Leg-
islative enactment in the Territory of Idaho,
or that may hereafter be established, shall be
paid into the treasury of the Territory, to be
sat apart, and TO constitute a portion of the
common school fund.
The second section provides that the own
ers or grantees of all such franchises, shall
make quarterly statements to the Auditor of
the Territory, accompanied by the receipt of
the Territorial Treasurer, Of the gross amount
of receipts derived from tolls of such fran
chises. The penalty of failure to make such
report, or pay over such per centage, is for
fixture of the franchise. 1t is made the duty
of the Territorial Treasurer to make out a
certificate Of such forfeiture to be served by
the Sheriff of the county upon the holders of
the franchise, and any person undertaking
to exercise any rights of such franchise af-
ter service of the certificate, renders himself
liable to a Gne not exceeding $l000-or i'm
prisonment not exceeding six months. 1t is
made the duty of the County Superintendent
of Schools to prosecute all actions arising
under the act, for their respective counties.
The Territory is threaded with toll roads.
and dotted with bridges and ferries and other
franchises. If the owners Of these, punctu-
ally comply with the provisions of this law,
the money will constitute large fund, and
will do much toward defraying the expenses
of public education. The bill as originally
introduced, we believe, provided for the pay
ment Of five per cent of the proceeds; out it
was reduced to two per cent on its final pas
sage.
In view of the bene6cient purposes of this
fund, and of the stringency of the penalty,
all persons interested in these franchises,
should make their, quarterly statements
