Hon. 10 CAVE, who returned Sum
day from the capital, was informed by
one of the members of the Constitu-
tional Convention that the members
of the convention fixed their per
diem at Sc, and mileage 20 cents
each way, and that the Nirst National
Bank of Idaho had agreed to cash the
certificates at one-third discount, so
the members can now get ST per dav.
and l39 cents per mile each way, or
take their chances on getting So per
day, and 20 cents a mile each way,
by Congressional appropriation.

John l.. Sullivan, the brute, was
arrested in New York the other day
for his participation in the fight with
Kilrain, the beast. If these sluggings
would result fatally to one or the
other of the participants, and then
the law would hang the winner, it
would be good idea to let 'em slug.

A FEW foolish recommendations
have been made by committees in
the Constitutional Convention, but
that was to be expected, as such is
the case in the ablest of deliberative
bodies, but the members, when it
came to voting, sat down on them
with heavy majorties against. One
was that making age, and not com
potency, a qualification for certain
offices. To say that all under GER
tain age, yet legal voters, shall be de-
barred from holding certain Offices, is
ridicul US in the superative degree.
Voters are competent to judge, or at
any rate ere the ones to say who will
make competent officials, and it is
qualifications, and not age, that
makes COOL official; that is, it
should be question of competency,
and not one of wears.

The Salt Lake Tribune and Her.
aid stated short time ago that the
government timber agen. had been
authorized to expend $4,000 to ex-
tinguish forest fires in Idaho. The
amount has now dwindled down to
5000, and Boise county gets only
one hundred and fifty or two hundred
dollars. THIS just simply amounts to
nothing. The fighting force that this
small amount would employ would
not check in the least an, one of the
many fires that are still marching
along, leaving destruction in their
track.

A Good Suggestion.
CROOKED RIVER, Aug. 3, 'S9.

ShOOhED INV EtS3 aug. -, CC.
Ed. WoRLD:-The mountains are
covered with smoke. 1t seems that
campers are neglectful about putting
out their fires. This ought not to be,
as it destroys the valuable timber
that will be needed to work the
mines, which are numerous and vast
ly rich in this belt.
find that a great many locations
on quartz lodes are being made, and
some good finds have already been
made, yet some locations will no
doubt be abandoned, perhaps some
that might prove valuable if they
were developed. | think that if the
law regulating quartz claims would
compel locators to give notice of their
abandonment, after they have done
all they want 20 do on their locations,
it would be the means of the country
being more thoroughly prospected,
because many times other parties
come along who are willing to risk
more and would locate and work the
same locations that were abandoned,
but the ground has been recorded
and the time for representing has not
expired, consequently they pass them
by, and neither of the parties ever
see the place again, IN many instances.
If the first locator had sent a written
notice that he had abandoned the
claim, and that notice placed on file
or made no;e of by the Recorder,
other parties would examine the rec
ord, find the lead vacant and devel-
op it. A. G. LANGDoN.

The report of the Committee on
Revenue and Finance, in the conven-
ton, exempts from taxation lots and
buildings thereon used for religious
worship or charitable purposes. This
is a universal law in all the States,
but we never could see that there
was good foundation for it. All
property should be taxed, and the
time will soon come when IT will be.
The sentiment that no special favors
should be granted to any organiza-
ton, sect or class, is growing. Prop
erty is wealth, and it is right that all
wealth should be taxed, and equally.
The argument used for exempting
church property and the property OF
charitable or secret organizations
from taxation, can be used with equal
force in regard to almost all forms of
property. Quartz mills, smelters,
ETC., for instance, are actually neces-
sary in building up a mining country.
Why no; encourage their construc-
ton by exempting them from taxa
ton? 1t is SO with manufactures.
The newspaper Is potent factor in
advertising the resources of coun-
try aud bringing in capital, and is an
educating and moral factor. They
should also be exempt from taxation,
and SO Oh through the list. The only
way to do equal justice to all is to
tax all alike. Some of the wealthiest
organizations in many of the States
are churches. and secret organiza-
tions, or what are known as charita-
bic organizations, the charity of any
which does not reach outside of the
order itself, as an order, and is there
fore of no benefit to the State, in a
financial point of view, and why
should their property be exempt
from taxation? They are not organ
lied for the purpose of aiding the
State or National government, but
the members are associated together
for the sole purpose of aiding each
other, which is commendable, but is
no reason why the State should ex-
tend them special favors or immuni-
ties. Equal justice to all and special
favcrs to none is a good motto in
levting taxes. Wealth held bv
church organizations should pay its
pro rata the same as all other forms
of wealth.

The Loss to HALEY.

The actual, present loss to Haley
will be comparatively insignificant,
as can be demonstrated by a few
figures. The total revenue of the
county last year was $125,O0O. OF
this amount about $4,000 went to
the Territory; $4,000 to the school
districts; $4,000 to the road districts;
$4,000 for interest on the bonded
debt; $4,000 to the Pauly Jail Build
ing Company; s12,5oo for commits
sions, etc., Exclusive of what remair-
ed in Hailey) of funding the debt.
Total $97,500-leaving $4,000 Of
the total revenue to be accounted for,
and which went to pay justices, con-
stables. and current expenses for the
4O.odd precincts Of the county.
But supposing that all this $27,5oo
had remained in HALEY? Would it
have been all pro6t-"net"? Not oy
any manner of means. In the first
place. probably not one.half Tor less
than the total of taxes paid by Hal
levi remained here. And, in the
next place, of what did remain no
20 per cent. was profit, because nj
business will average that mac
profit.

THAT DIVISION.

It Will Not Cripple HALEY 80 Badly,
After All--But We May Refuse to
submit to Oppression, Nevertheless.
Logan and Gilmore counties can 60
on and organize as municipalities,
and have even q better financial
standing according to the assessment
roll) than Alturas county. The
boundaries of Gilmore county every.
body knows. Those of Logan are
not so we'll defined nor so well known.
In q general way it may be stated
that the north line begins at tho Big
Butte, on the now Bingham county
line, runs south OF Era and Muldoon,
just north of the halfway house be-
tween HALEY and Bellevue, imme-
diately north of the blacksmith shop
this side of Gilman (cutting that set
Element in two), crosses the Red
Elephant group OF mines. and d.
vides Smoky at point near Atlanta,
on the Elmore county line. This
leaves Alturas absolutely nothing but
HALEY, Ketchum, Galens, Vienna,
Sawtooth, Bullion, the Galore Stormy,
King of the West and other mines
with the main Smoky creek as the
western boundary. In this region
there are vast possibilities-the wealth
of empires may be discovered-but
that remains to be done. At present
its net valuation on the assessment
roll is something like $75O,00O. The
; division will probably reduce that
valuation one half, as this part of the
county has always been assessed much
more closely than any other. But
this is something for future consider
, alton. To get to the eastern end OF
the county it will be necessary to
travel through one third of the extent
of Logan county. To get to the
!, western end it will be necessary to do
the same in the other direction. So
. much for the boundaries.
The bill creating the two counties
out of Alturas and giving strip to
Bingham county, makes no provision
;, to pay the courthouse bonds, and
seeks to compel Alturas county tt
accept, in payment of debt for the
+ discharge of which all the propert,
! in the county is pledged, warrants
\ that may not be worth the paper tina
., they will be written on. There is ,
provision of law which prohibits
counties from mourning indebtedness
to above four per cent Of the pro
perty. valuation. Any indebtedness
in excess of the limit is null and void
p and payment cannot, it seems to us
be compelled. These provisions
the "law" will have to be resisted
lie even to the point Of refusing to pay
There are various ways in whic
r this can be done. One Is to disorga
nize the county. The court, it
ut evident, while Weir Is on the bench
s. will side with the divisionists, an
can order the Commissioners to pre-
vide means to pay. But the Con
ed mlss;oners may resign their oftic'
Then others will be appointed. The

is going on the case can be laid b.
