The Legislators of Idaho who, by an
unthinking vote. barred all the towns of
less than 1000 inhabitants and less than
100000 Of assessed property from a
natural progress by bonding to a certain
amount, have done our fair state an iniu-
ry it will take years to remedy. In this,
the town of Jullaetts. nature has been
profuse in her gifts, especially in the mat
ter Of bountiful water supply,a as springs
OF the crystal draught are numerous on
the hillside above the town. Yet we can
not utilize il because ours is not yet town
of 2000 people, and in order to build a
reservoir and lay pipes ii will be necessary
to raise money for that purpose. Surely
it would only be justice to permit any in
corporated municipality or town to issue
bonds in proportion to the assessed valua-
ton. The people of Idaho will look to
the new legislature for repeal of this
most partial law.--Juliaetta Advance.
The SIGNAL also would like to see
the coming Legislature change the law,
as, before another two years roll
around, Weiser may resurrect her old
corporation and wish to do some
bonding for some purpose.

In very short time now Congress
will be with us, and already a number
of Representatives and few Senators
have gone to the scene. There seem.
to be great uncertainty and marked
division Of opinion as to the work t
be undertaken at this session, and
there appears to be an equal I'M
certainty as to the probability of an
extra session Of the new Congress in
the Spring, after Mr.. Cleveland
inauguration. 1t is not likely how
ever, that the closing session Of the
old Congress will attempt any general
revision of the tariff laws, as that work
will undoubtedly be left for the Con-
gress just elected. AS the President
elect has the sole power to convene
the new Congress in extra session, it
remains for him to say whether or not
the remodeling of the tariff shall
have atte.ition immediately after his
Inauguration, and lie must also
decide whether the finances of the
country demand an extra session if the
tariff does not.

The WEISER SIGNAL,
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1892.

High Salaries paid for public
officials is one great cause OF high
taxes. There are hundreds of officials
who get from $1,000 to $4,000 a year
or more, who never made half as
much money when working for them
seves, and who are not worth any
more when working for the govern
ment than they were when working
for themselves or for private com
panies. For all ordinary clerical
work government pays far higher
wages for six or eight hours labor
than the same people can earn in any
other business. This is one reason
why government works costs so much
more than if done under private
auspices. The excess has to be made
up by the taxpayers. On the other
hand, there are positions Of great
responsibility in executive or scientific
work in which government salaries are
very meager. Some Of these positions
now pay only one or two thousand
dollars, whereas a man worth two or
three times that amount would be a
better investment. A numskull on q
farm may be dear at any price, while
good, careful, conscientious man
may be cheap at $40 per month and
board, or even more. These good
men on the farm are hard to get
because their present employers find
Improbable to pay high enough wages
to keep them. But if a good man
leaves, how many poor men apply for
his place 1t is about the same in
official positions. l believe the
laborer is worthy of his hire whatever
his work, but that he should be paid
for what he does rather than for the
name Of the position he happens to
hold. And l would give equal pay
to women for equal work. Farm

opment Of lung possessed by some
athletes. The condition is produced
by those forms Of exercise that call
for the constant Use Of the lungs at
their highest power. The result is an
enormous development of lung capac-
ity. Such men upon giving up their
active athletics and taking TO seden-
tary pursuits are peculiarly subject to
pulmonary complaints. The override
yeloped lung is only used in part. and

disease when once an athletic lung has

And its burdens heavy grow

Has an almost magic power;
And beneath that cheering sunshine
Hearts will blossom like flower.
So, as up life's hill we journey,
