land owners. We believe the
plan here outlined is practi-
cable. OF course, many mat
tiers of detail would require
attention, but we are unable to
discern any very serious obstacles.
1t seems to US that the issuance Of
considerable quantities of irriga-
ton bonds would furnish a safe in
vestment for school monies and
that no better use could
be found for that capital
than applying it to internal
development. We firmly be-
lieve that the prosperity OF
Idaho hinges largely upon q go
luton of the irrigation question
We believe that the moment the
state assumes supervisory control
of water ways, with view to vest
ing ultimate ownership Of water
in the settler, that Idaho will take
a forward stride unprecedented in
the progress of agricultural states
And We cannot see any sound
reason why this state may not en-
ter upon the construction o.
canals for irrigation as die
the state of New York for pur
poses of transportation. Agricult
ure is quite as important to thu
country as commerce and as much
public necessity exists for the pros
perity of one as the other.

THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESS

THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESS.
The press is venal; the press
is subsidized. This cry that
goes up continually from the
throat of the populace. For argu-
ment's sake admit it. What right
have the people to complain of the
depravity of an institution which
they themselves have corrupted?
The integrity of the press depends
absolutely on the intelligence and
liberality of the people. If they
have sense and honesty enough to
support a brave, conscientious
press, they need harbor no apprhen-
sion of its venality. But where
the people are prejudiced beyond
honesty in partisanship, bigoted
in religious zeal and intolerant of
open expression, they virtually
comfort the spirit of the press to
that mould and must suffer the
consequences of their own democrat
ization. Let any paper in Idaho
give free and independent express
sion to it's conscientious convictions
upon all subjects. and the people
will cruelty it with more expedition
and satisfaction than was exhibited
by the Jews when they nailed
CHRIST to the cross. Yet, by the
people, the press is cursed for its
survility. Upon the street every
day, men are heard parading their
love and admiration of an indepen-
dent press, but let one shaft from
the editors culver touch tender
spot on their ANATOMY, and their
eulogies instantly turn to vitupera.

STARTING OFF WRONG.

II
The action of our board of coun-
,ty mmissioners indicate very
clearly that in the matter of equali-
nation Of taxes, county boards in
variably proceed on wrong princi-
pies. Technically, the statute seems
to authorize them to increase valu-
ations, upon their own motion,
without complaint or evidence in
justification, but as, matter of
fact, the board Of equalization is
judicial body. It is empowered
TO receive complaints, hear testi-
>mony and determine on evidence.
OF right it should require the same
degree of evidence before increas-
ing valuations, that the statute de-
mands in order to decrease them.
To arbitrarily set aside the sworn
statement of the taxpayer and the
judgment of the assessor is not the
true function of a board of equali-
zation. The idea Of equalization
involves absolute impartiality
! and disinterestedness; and how
cana court which has once render
ed it's decision on its own judg-
ment sit impartia llxst : rehearingf
We have had opportunity to wit
ness the method of procedure by
county boards of equalization, and
find little difference in their prac-
tices. Going over the assessment
roll, one member will pick out
JOHN Doe, who commonly is not
particularly congenial, and observe
that he ought to be taxed more
than that. The matter is discuss
ed in a desultory wav for few
moments and finally it is deter
mined to give JOHN Doe a few
hundred dollars boost. There is
not much adjudication in The
method. JOHN Doe is duly notified
of the increase of his taxes and a,

the board with dolorous affidavit

Of equalization has gone through tn,
performance a few times, peopl
begin to look upon the whole pro

increase of taxation as a films,
bid for popularity, and the subse
quent decrease, as a recantation il
obedience to the operation Of undu
influences. Before an assessment
can be reduced in valuation, appl
cation, in writing, verified by oatt
showing the facts upon which it
claimed such reduction should b
made, must be filed, and th
person making such application

concerned with the irrigation ques-
ton and honestly seeking its just
and beneficent solution. In this
quandry it is more or less crafty
ing to note that the Irrigation Age
has adopted views which we ex-
pounded some months ago. TIL

CATION in the arid regions will
never be satisfactorily settled un'
til the state takes the matter in
hand. The Age. Of course, under
takes to speak for all the arid
states; we are only concerned for
Idaho, and will feel amply repaid
for our labor if, to some extent, We
may be instrumental in helping
this state solve the problem A
comprehensive view, looking to the
settlement of the question in all
localities, involves, as q first
consid eration, cession of arid lands
by the United States to the arid
states. But, however strongly We
may favor that idea, it is a con-
summation which at this time is
too far removed for the purposes Of
immediate discussion. What is
now required is some method
whereby the state may assume con-
troll through the operation of local
legislation, irrespective of anything
which congress may or may not
do. For the present, we shall as
sumo that it is agreed that irriga-
ton is a matter Of sufficient gen.
eral import to demand public in
tervention, with a view to state
direction. The first step would re-
quire legislation competent to
effect the desired object. Under
the conditions now existing in this
state, a law should be enacted, as
provided by the constitution. fixing
the maximum rates which could
be legally charged by the canal
companies to water renters, and
that rate should be no greater than
the amount which the state, own
ing the canals, would have to
charge in order to pay interest on
capital invested and the defray ment
of running expenses. Any canal
company objectipg to such regula
ton should have the. privilege 81
selling it's works to the state; OF
refusing to do that, the state
should be empowered to construc
parallel canal. The lands irri
; gable by the canals purchased OF
constructed by the state, should
: be divided into convenient waite
districts, legally defined, and thos,
districts, as in the case of schoo
districts, should be authorized t.
issue bonds in payment of the irri
cation works employed by them
The state should lend its credit il
assurance of those bonds and un
dertake. ultimate responsibility o
their redemption. The practica
management of the canals shoult
be left to the respective district

of goods they demand. Is he any
more blameable for catering to the
market, than is the farmer? Will
a farmer devote himself to arti-
choke culture when there is no
hope of a purchaser for the rootY
Or to 90 q little farther, will a
farmer refuse to raise barley when
there is q strong demand at profit
able prices, because that barley is
made into whiskey which breeds
intemperance and pain and sorrow
throughout the land? Is not the
farmer who devotes himself to the
production of q profitable crop,
which may be turned to evil
account, just about as venal as the
publisher who strives to issue
paper that shall inure to his
profit? But the argument lies In
the proposition that business
sense deters all men from engaging
in the production of an article
which does not readily enter into
general consumption at profitable
prices. But we must not lose sight
Of the intimate relationship which
exists between human interests
and human consciences. How
many Democrats abandon their
political convictions when they
purchase a few Slerino sheep!
How many churchmen submerge
their piety on sight of a subscrip-
tim list or in view an Of advanta-
grous deal! How many moralists
stretch thel code to fit their ambi-
toni May not a newspaper enjoy
the same elasticity Of conscience
with equal integrity? Why should
1
the press be required to sacrifice
every substantial interest, every
selfish desire and every hope OF
popular favor on the altar of a
moral law which has become un-
fashionable and Improbable?
The venality of the press is &C.
counted for by a natural desire or
the part of newspapers to tickle
the palate of their patrons. Pub
fishers must deal in such wares az
people wish to buy and if the
quality be vitiated it is because
the public taste is depraved. The
