be accounted for on the theory that the

The Farini- Mcmahon Circus.

AS can be seen elsewhere in our
columns this famous aggregation OF
marvellous arenic achievement will
visit us, giving two exhibitions at
Caldwell, on Wednesday, Septem-
Der 4.
As others view it, we clip the fol-
lowing from the Denver News of
July II:
"THE C1Rcus.-Yesterday's after
noon entertainment of the Farini-
Mcmahon circus was attended by a
very large crowd composed of Den
ver's best citizens. The excellent
character Of the entertainment at
tracted the lovers of saw-dust
novelties and the tent yesterday
was taxed to accommodate the jam.
Last night, despite the elements the
seats were filled. A change of pro-
gram from the opening day was
presented and the performers put
forth their best efforts to the delight
of the spectators. The small boy
and the larger man needs circus
occasionally in his business and the
News can suggest no better antidote
for the craving than the three hour
entertainment afforded by the
Farini- McMahon show.

THE ARsETT SEED DRILL.

While at the Sebree ranch re-
Gently a TRIBUNE representative had
the pleasure of witnessing the work
done there this season with the cele-
brated Arnett Seed Drill and also
saw it in operation.
This drill can, undoubtedly, be
classed as one Of the greatimproye-
ments in agricultural machinery Of
the nineteenth century, and we
would class it next to the re aper in
Importance and general results

ments-plough, harrow and seeder
in one.
The necessity of Notwithstanding
the soil-for grain or grass is now
regarded by all intelligent agricul-
turists as one OF the follies of past
generations; still the soil needs
preparation.
One of the features of this drill is
disc harrow attachment which
Immediately precedes the tubes that
convey the seed. These discs can
be regulated to cut any depth from
one to four inches, thus pulverizing
the soil and leaving i: in the best
possible condition for receiving the
seed.
The great feature of the drill is
that all the seed is put in at uni
form depth subject to the control Of
the operator and no seed is lost by
reason of being left On the surface.
No preparation of the soil is need
ed other than to clea, off the sage
brush. 1t works on any kind Of
soil without blowing, It's advan-
tages in this respect can be easily
understood. Once going over the
ground completes the work, while
under the old method the GROUND
would be gone over at least three
times. On sage brush soil man
aud two horses can put in from 5 to
II acres per day.
me advantages OF urlilluS IN
grain over the old method of broad
cast sowing is no longer a matter of
doubt or experiment. 1t takes less
seed, more acres are sown in day,
while the results are always sure.
Mr.. Arnett has his invention
covered by seventeen patents and it
has now reached such a state of
perfection that it is bound to revolu-
tionize farming, The time is oppor-
tune for a company to organize
to manufacture this machine on a
large scale, for there is not a state
in the Union where it will not be
hailed as a long felt want.

THE TRIBUNE.
CALDWELL, IDAHO, AUG. 81, 1859.
SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX.

Ed. TRIBUNE.-I noticed in your
issue of last week that the School
Trustees find it will be necessary
to vote a three-fourths of one per
cent special tax in order to add
another teacher" Now / do not
want to be understood as being OPP
posed to voting special tax for
school purposes, but l am opposed
to voting a tax for a Board of Trus-
tees to expend in an unwarranted
manner. In other words to voting
tax when under proper manage
ment no tax would be necessary.
If l am correctly informed the
following will bear out the above
assertion; if not then the Trustees
will accept my most abjectapology:
Ny information is to the effect
that an unwarranted ':raise" in
teachers salaries is the cause of
this necessity" and not a third
teacher as is SO ingeniously stated
in your paper. That the salary of
the principal has been increased
from $50 to 500 per month;
and that the salary of the
first assistant from $50 to
$65. Now isn't this a little too
much "blooded ?" We have al.
ways had satisfactory school ESQ
far as wages were concerned)
taught at the established prices of
$50 and $50 per month. Then
why this increase -? Is it not an
absence in the Board of that rare
quality which should always pos
sess public officers, viz: The eco
nomical management of the peo-
pies money ? To my certain knowl-
edge one of the teachers that served
so acceptably last year could have
been retained this year at the same
old salary, and 1 have no doubt
that $50 per month viii be ample
pay for all the ability we need for
q principal for some time to
ONE. Here, then, is an ex-
penditure of $35 per month
which is totally .unwarranted and
which would have been ample to
compensate a third teacher, as
all know that this extra help will
not be necessary for more than
FIVE months.
For these reasons, Mr.. Editor, if
the case | have stated is not dis
proven, l shall vote against the tax,
the first time in my life, and think
every taxpayer should do the same.
Our burdens are heavy enough |
now, and l can see no good to be |
accomplished by increasing them
without first knowing that that |
which is already raised is economi-
cally and intelligently expended.
Again, the practice of deferring
this question until the last moment
a little Of gag rule; as
though a full discussion of the ques-
ton was to be avoided. No intel
gent citizen will oppose school
tax unless he has the best of rea-
sons and many viii vote for a tax,
go it blind" on a short notice like
his, when they know it is not all
light, simply because it is the last
opportunity, under the law. To
such would say, do not, forever,
ct sentiment control your better
Judgment. So long as you blindly
vote to tax yourselves you will
ind men who will expend it in
he same manner.

HOT SPRINGS HERD OF SHORT
HOkN CATTLE.
Robert Strahorn 3 Co.. Proprietors,
HALEY Idaho.

The Hot Springs Herd of Short
Horn Cattle was practically founded
in June, 1888, by the importation
from Kentucky Of 1875 head ofregis-
tered animals. The herd was
selected by Robert Straborn & Co.,
with reference to establishing at
HALEY Hot Springs a permanent
breeding and dairy farm from
which Idaho and neighboring States
and Territories could select the very
best type of homegrown, robust,
pure-bred cattle with which to grade
up native herds.
No pains or expense were spared
to secure animals which would best
unite the best beef and dairy quail
tiles. Hot Springs Herd contains
choice representatives from such
famous Kentucky herds as those OF
Abram Renick, J. S. Owsley, Cecil &
Jones, B. G. Mullins, J. NJ. Bigstaff
and others. Their breeding for beef
cannot be excelled in Kentucky or
any other country, while their fine
milking qualities are daily attest.
ed by some fifty superb milk cows
composing the Hot Springs Dairy.
Hot Springs Herd is now thor
oughly acclimated. Excepting the
milk cows the herd has made its
own living on the hills near Haley
during the past winter. There is
not an oyerfed, pampered or sickly
animal in it. The increase, num-
bering some sixty head, are largely
of Idaho birth and raising. 1t will
be apparent to any breeder that
such herd offers far better selec-
ton than any shipment fresh from
the East. Its owners are in Idaho
to stay. They have reputation to
make and propose making it by
selling only that which will bear
the closest inspection and by rep
resenting individual animals
exactly as they are.
Among families of Short Horns
noted the world over for their
superiority over the palmer bred
types of the breed the Hot Springs
Herd embraces "Renick Rose of
Sharons. ""Duchesses," Red Rose"
"Young Mary's," "Phyllis," and
"Airdries." The prevailing color is
a beautiful red-in fact out of
nearly 200 head in the Hot Springs
Herd there are only four animals
possessing other predominating
colors.
The grandsire of Airdrie of Elmot
and duchess 80 of Hot Springs
Herd is the 4th Duke of Geneve,
who sired the $4,000 Duke of
Oneida, and himself sold for Sc, 900.
Rosebud ~ and Duke of Mount
Auburn 5 of this herd are also
direct descendants ofthe very finest
Short Horns known, and themselves
sold for $500 as soon as weaned.
There is not a vicious animal in
this grand herd. This prevailing
trait in Short Horn Cattle makes
them especially desirable for family
use. 1t is also a fact well known
among breeders that the first cross
of Short Horns upon native stock
almost invariably improves the dis
position as well as the form of the
progeny.
No better move can be made in
laying the foundation for a dairy
than a good selection from the Hot
Springs Herd.
In order to make know the
merits of this herd, the proprietors
offer a few choice animals of both
sexes for sale very low for cash for
the next sixty days.

EQUITABLE TAXATION.

We are glad to see our influential
contemporary, the Boise Statesman
keep up the agitation for equitable
taxation. In the issue of last Tues.
day we find the following:
"The attention of the Board OF
Equalization now in session is call
ed to the unjust system of taxation
practiced in Ada county and more
particularly in Boise City. The
Revised Statutes of Idaho, Section
1425 reads: All taxable property
must be assessed at it's full cash
value; and land and improvements
thereon must be separately assess
ed How is this carried out
Within the city limits, there are
gardens and orchards, in the high
est state of cultivation from which
a good revenue is derived each
year. These lands are valued at
from $3.50 to $500 an acre, yet they
are taxed at the rate of $50 per
acre. These grounds surround the
city and are not laid out in lots or
blocks and probably never will be
so long as they can escape taxa
ton. Within one hundred feet OF
the places referred to can be found
vacant blocks of ground on which
the sage brush yet fiourishes in all
its fragrance, that are assessed at
$500 an acre. Merchants and bus
mess men are taxed out of all rea-
son while other citizens with larger
revenue and more valuable prop
erty are allowed to grow rich with
out having to bear any Of the bur-
dens of county or Territorial gov
eminent. Judge Cooley, the high
est authority on taxation says:
Tax laws should be formed with
view to apportioning the burdens
of government so that each person
enjoying government protection
shall be required to contribute so
much as is his reasonable proper
ton, and no more"
The Statesman is on the right
track. The system of taxation
practiced in Idaho-for we have
every reason. TO believe that Ada
county is no EXCEPTIONS one of
the greatest evils existing, and one
which THE TRIBUNE has stood al
most alone in contending against.
We do not like to criticise our
neighbor in this good work; bat it
seems to have an idea that the
merchants and business men of
the county are taxed out of all rea-
SON." While not saying that the
merchandise of the county is assess
ed at too small figure, when COM
pared with other items, we submit
the proposition: Is not $4,000,
assessment for 1889 ridiculous
ly and absurdly low valuation of
the goods, wares and merchan.
disc" in Ada county We know
at least a half dozen merchants in
the county who would feel greatly
affronted (and rightfully, too) if
any one, other than the Assessor,
should value their stock at any less
figure than $4,000.
This question of taxationin Idaho
has got to be settled-and must be
settled right. An intelligent, pro-
gressive public sentiment demands
it. The present system, as prac-
ticed, is relic of condition of
affairs that no longer exist; Of an
county jealousies, etc.
