1T WILL sE TESTED.
Maid Enterprise.

The Board Of County Commission.
ers OF Bingham county have conclud-
ed to ignore the assessment levied n
that county by the State Board Of
Equalization and test the validity OF
the action of the honorable body :,
Boise City. We believe the commits
s'oners have taken the proper course.
we believe that when the inside Of
the business at Boise comes to l;ob,
u VIII be found that the State Board
acted without authority of law. We
believe that their action was not onIv
wrong per se, but illegal and uncon-
stitutional. The State Board have.
IN effect, usurped the power Of the
Legislature. Instead Of equalizing
the assessment according to the in.
tent and purport of the Constitution
and law, they have exceeded their
legal authority, nallified the Office Of
Assessor, ignored the county Boards
and actually levied an assessment
We think upon investigation it will
transpire that the State Board have
changed the figures of the aggregate
state asses ment. The total will
either be increased or decreased aud
1t has been held by the Supreme
Court of California and other courts
tnat to increase or decrease the ap-
gregate is beyond the legal power of
State board of equalization. This
doctrine is based on the wise provis-
ion that the Legislature alone shall
have power to levy and provide for
the collection of taxes. What. we
may ask, does an act of the Legisla-
ture levying certain per cent. tax
amount to if the State Board may
have solute control of the assess
ment and valuation of the property?
If the State Board may increase lands
forty per cent. may they not in the
exercise OF the same power increase
1T forty hundred per cent? II FIVE
men may sit in Boise City and de-
crese the assessments of railroads two
and three thousand dollars per mile
as whim or interest dictates, NAV not
those same men reduce the assess
ment to nothing? If the State Board
have power to do anything, it is TO
equalize the assessment of property
traversing two or more counties and
having specific and identical value
in each on account of the general
market or the exact similarity of such
property. They may make the as
sessment of such property, when 9TH
erwise, uniform throughout the Stat,
hut they have not a shadow of au-
tnority for stepping into a county and
saying land here shall be assessed at
four dollars per acre, and land there
at seven dollars per acre and land
elsewhere at six dollars per acre.
That is not equalization, it is assess
ment.

JOAN BRowS, who since 1879 has
been in Banner in the employ of the
Elmira company, uost of this time as
superintendent, arrived here last
Monday and departed Wednesday for
his home in Elmira. Mr.. Browns 5
wife has been in poor health for
sometime, and this fact, together with
the weight of sixty-eight years on his
own shoulders and longing to be
freed from the labors and RESPONSE
bilites OF his position impelled him
to resign. He said that he now has a
bnovant sensation of relief and free
dom that makes him feel like a new
man. Mr.. Brown says that he ex-
poets to occasionally visit the proper
tv in Banner. He has conducted the
eompany's business in very eeonom-
ical manner, and made a success
where many other men would have
failed. 4. B. Bowler now has charge
and it is more than probable that he
will be elected superintendent.

STATESMAN: Since the Utah sug-
ar factory started up great msny
sample lots of beets have been re-
ceived for analysis. OF these sample
lots the richest came from Montana,
showing % per cent. of ssccharine
matter. II Montana can produce a
superior sugar beet, Idaho can no
doubt do better. The beet sugar in-
dustry is destined to become one of
the most important in all the western
country, aud it is more than probable
that the State will be able to take
trout rank in the new business.

riddled him with bullets.
The negro was charged with rape on
Mrs. Tolston, wife of e respectable
farmer on Kent Island. by whom Green
was employed at the time of the outrage
The trial occupied day or two, and
his lawyer made every effort to prove
an abb, but Mrs. Tolston's acquaint-
ance with the negro during his long
service for her husband precluded any
idea of mistake, when she positively
identified him as the man who had
assaulted her, giving the time, place
and circumstances. which were corro-
borated by circumstantial testimony
of other witnesses.
The jury rendered a verdict In 20
minutes after having been given the
case. The Judge sentenced him to
twenty one years's imprisonment and
the prisoner was remanded back to Jail
After midnight the mob quietly assem-
bled broke open the Jail and lynched

water on ten cents worth of strych-

and dissolve it. Then pour in about
a half pint of wheat and let it remain
about twenty four hours by which
time the grains will have absorbed
all the liquid. Put in spoonful of
sugar, stir we'll and scatter where the
birds frequent. Rice will answer the
same purpose as wheat.
