IDAHVs GREATNESS.

Down around St. Anthony, Inaho,
they have little wheat land, as can
be seen by the following extract from
an exchange from that section:
can estimate on the power of the
water which glides uninterruptedly
over the falls at St. Anthony, shows
that it would grind the wheat that
could be raised on piece Of ground
100 miles square, estimating the yield
at 20 bushels per acre. Now 100
miles square means a pretty fair sized
wheat farm, but it also expresses some
thing like the size Of the country
which would be made tributary to
st. Anthony and which is suitable for
wheat raising.
One hundred miles square, means
TO- 600 square miles, and embraces
6, 400, 900 acres Of land; at 20 bush
els to the acre, we have 1913, 600, 900
bushels of wheat, at 40 cents per
bushel, this wheat would bring, in
round numbers, $5l, 600, 600. 1t
would make sixteen million barrels of
-four. 1t would require fifty mills of
thousand barrels capacity per day,
running constantly, to grind the wheat
1t would require a train OF forty
four cars, running each day in the
year, to haul that amount of -four out
OF the country. 1t would place some
thirty millions Of dollars in the hands
of the workingman annually to handle
those crops and mills 1t would place
$500, 600 annually into the hands
of one hundred thousand people.
1t would make times good in city
of half million of souls.
All that shows the greatness of
our state. Those figures show the
grandure of Idaho. st. Aothony is
only one of hundred sections and
wheat is only one of thousand re-
sources GA figures. All Idaho awaits
the time when the strings are loosen
ed enough to allow US to command
the money to develope all this mag
nificience.

Importance of Good Roads.

At the recent worlds congress of
roads, held in Boston, a paper was
read by Albert A Pope, which should
awaken an interest in the matter of
good public highways all over the
land. Among other things he said :.
"Aslde from questions of political
gain, which is perhaps the lowest
standpoint to consider tie good that
comes from means of communca-
ton, there is to be horne in mind
that good roads are the great high
ways for the advancement of social
life, education and christianity.
The visit of friends, the attendance
of the children at school, and the
gathering together at church are all
governed to a greater or less extent
by the condition of the roads; and
the abandonment of the farm and
the crowdlng together of people in
the cities is due largely to the isola-
ton caused by bad means of commu-
nication to and from the farm. But
the problem to be solved is to pro-
vide money to build good roads.
Many farmers are opposed to the
good road movement because they
believe it means to them increased
taxation, and in some sections of the
country agricultural interests are so
depressed that they do not feel able
TO bear greater financial burdens.
Now, | am going to urge plan which
| believe to be the least burdensome
and the most etfectual and equitable
for providing good roads. Let each
State establish gradual succession
tax-that is tax on property pass
ing by succession by Inheritance or
legacy. Such tax might be ar
ranged as follows On estates valued
at $40, 900 up to 500, 900 one per
cent; on estates over 500, 600 to
5000, 900 two per cent, increasing the
amount by degrees as the Inheritance
increased. The succession tax will
not fall upon the poor Those
whose estates amount to $40, 900 can
well afford to give 800 to the state
in return for all the protection of its
laws. which has enabled wealth to be
accumulated and enjoyed. Good
roads when rightly constructed can
be maintained at comparatively small
cost, and as the wealth of the state in
creases the succession tax would fur
nish sufficient revenue to meet all ex-
penses of the state after paying for
the maintenance of the roads.
