A Wrong Notion.

According to a statement made
in our presence not long since by a
very intelligent member Of our leg
islature, there was disposition on
the part Of a good many members
of that body to give the State to
capitalists as an inducement for
them to invest some of their money
in developing its resources. This
is policy that cannot be too fire.
quently nor strongly condemned.
1t invites to blackmailing, and un-
der it every state, city and county,
and the government of the United
States, have been successfully and
habitually blackmailed until the
public have come to regard it as
business. Whenever . new enter
prise is mooted a demoralized pub
lie expects to be called upon for a
bonus or subsidy, and it is never
disappointed. The demand is al
ways made, and it always finds
dupes and flunkeys enough in our
legislative bodies to carry it through.
The practice ought to be stopped,
for while it is kept up little money
will be invested looking to legiti-
mate profits. There is every needed
inducement in Idaho for the invest
ment of money. Our mines, farms,
forests and grazing lands are assur-
ances of great and permanent pros
perity to all parts of the State.
Seeing these and understanding
their value capitalists will not hest
tate to invest their money in the
State without a subsidy when they
are made to know the subsidy will
not be given.
But if assistance must be given,
let it be in the form of loan to be
repaid with interest, and not as a
gratuity. No power in this country
has either legal or moral right
to tax one man to enrich another,
or to start another in business.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Salt
Lake Tribune writing from Bellevue
says: 1.-THE constitutionality of the
famous Alta-Lincoln county bill
passed by the recent legislature will
be tested before the supreme court
at Lewiston, April I7th." The at
torneys retained by the respective
counties have conferred together,
and it is understood that chief JUS
tice Sullivan, realizing the necessity
of immediate action, has agreed to
the hearing at the time specified:
We hope the supreme court will find
it consistent with its duty as ex-
FOUNDER Of the law to sustain the
act. The purpose of the law is
good. The county lines and county
seats are properly located in our
opinion, but the judgment Of the
supreme court is necessary to settle
disputes and the laws validity, and
the sooner that judgment is OBJ
tanned the better for all concerned.
We need to know where our county
boundaries are, the names Of our
counties and who are their officers.

The KEYSTONE has been favored
this week with copy Of pamph-
let written by \. n. Parker, of the
Free Press, descriptive of Idaho
county. The pamphlet is well writ
ten, its descriptions salient and at
tractive, but we cannot help think
ing they would have been much
more effective in advertising the
qualities Of that county had they
appeared as editorials, in any ex-
tensively read newspaper. People
read newspapers from habit, but
when pamphlet is thrust at an
inquirer or traveller he begins to
feel bored at once. 1t smacks of
putting. There is back of it a sus-
picion of some one having an ak
to grind. There is seen in the mat
ter special job. None of these
objections attach to the newspaper
which is published as permanent
business venture, and recognized
everywhere as a fair general author
ity. Say what you have to say in
the newspaper, it will have better
effect.
