The attraction at the rooms of the Cali

Lantern-slides of such merit as these,
projected on screen by a calcium light, and
with cieer0ne who has an aptitude for

vastly more enjoyable than an ordinary lee

The Phillia Canal.

The news is received that the Phyl-

will be supplied from it during the
coming season.
This news will he gladly received
by the farmers and others living along
the line of the canal, through which,
for over a year past, no water has
been run.
The Phyllis was completed about
three years ago. 1t was taken out OF
the Boise river near Eagle Island, and
built via Nampa to the Snake river,
a distance of IS miles.
For one year after the completion
of the canal the water slsked the thirst
of the barren plain, and the sage
brush, by its magic touch, melted away
to be replaced by the orchard and
the field.
The next season, however, no wa

canal soon became, from want OF at
tention, in a very bad condition. ano
there was much complaining on ever.

The IDAHO WoRlD, in a lengthy
and pathological discussion discovers
that neither Webster's dictionary nor
the encyclopedias furnish any clue
to the meaning or origin of the word
p!utocrat. The WORLD must be
worrying along with somewhat an
cient pocket edit on of Webster, per.
haps, an old black letter In order
that our esteemed contemporary may
not mislead its readers, we respect
fully submit the following: The
words plutocracy, plutocratic and
plutology are given in all modern
lexicois that make any pretentions
to completeness. Plutocracy and
plutology are the substantive forms,
defined respectively as, government,
in which the supreme power is lodged
in the hands of the wealthy alone, or
government by the rich, and the
science which treats of wealth. Plu.
tocratlc is the adjective form, per-
tanning to plutOcracy, or government
by the rich, hence the substantive
plntocrat, which to an uneducated
mind, seems a very proper derivative
To go back little further we imagine
the World is in error by trying tc
discover the origin of the word p.u
tocrat on those dark Plutonian shores
or even in those dismal caves beyonc

reach mortgages held outside Of the

reach mortgages held outside OF the
State is TOO thin. Other States have
provided way to reach them--very
simple and very effective. The tax
payer whose property IS mortgaged
pays the full assessed value, but the
Tax Collector furnishes him a receipt
for the taxes paid on the amount COW
cred BY the mortgage, and this re-
ce'pt must be accepted by the mort
gagee as payment on the mortgage.
Even should there be no way TO reach
the mortgages held outside Of the
State, on property within the State,
there would then be no reason for the
exemption of those held in the State.
All wealth that can he reached ought
to be taxed, and all taxed alike. To
carry to the end the logic of those
who contend that money lenders out
side of the State holding mortgages
on property in the Stale, would pay
no taxes and therefore those mort
gage holders residing in the State
ought to be exempt, we must go one
step further. Say it would not be
right TO tax mortgages in the State
because those outside would be ex-
empt and therefore have that advant
age over our own capitalist; but
don't stop there. Garry justice to tn.
end don't stop in the middle. Mort.
cages in Idaho are exempted so as to
put our own capitalists on an equali-
ty with those outside. Equality is y
good doctrine, but is not equality il
not extended to all alike. Therefore
if the wealth Of mortgages in Idaho
is to be exempt, SO must all Other
forms of wealth be exempt. That is
mortgages IN Idaho must not have ar
advantage over other kinds of wealth
in Idaho. That is logic, justice and
equality carried to the end on the
same line as begun. Those who ar,
que for the exemption of Idaho mort.
cages for the reason stated, do no,
carry their logic to conclusion from
the proposition laid down. Further
more, the proposition itself is not true
for it is very easy matter to reach
all mortgages alike, no matter whers
held.
