Among proposed am end m ents to the income
tax abomlnation is one providing that salaries
due State. county. or municipal officers shall
be exem pt from the tax on incomes In excess
OF 81. 900.
The principle OF this is as bad as that OF the
measure itseli-unjust discrimination. Why
should the public Official be exempt II the tax
is to be levied at all2 Why should anybody be
exempt for that natter2
Tho only amendment that will be useful
sensible. and acceptable to all but the "Popu-
lists and consistent with our Government
Institutions would be one striking out the
enacting clause.

MIDDLETON ITEMS.

MIDDLETON, FEBRUARY l, ls94.-It is un-
necessary for us to describe the location
of Middleton as we all know that it is
situated in the very best part Of the
Boise valley and there is no reason why
it should not be the chief city Of Canyon
county in the near future and the in
terest that Nampa and other localities
are manifesting toward Middleton should
at least cause our mossbacks 10 make at
least one effort for the county seat.
We notice in the last issue oft he INDEX
that considerable stuff is being put up
on A. S. Rollo. The Middletonites
would like TO have a betting hand in the
pot as they will bet at great odds, say
ten to one or ton Of hay against good
square meal or yaller dog to a tin whistle,
that A. S. won't be in 1t no more than
Mitchell was.
Daniel Masterson has rented his black
smith shop to Henery Hahn who will

EDITOR INDEX:
take pleasure IN telling your reader"
in last weeks paper that Robert Burns
is the author Of the poetic lines referred
to. They occur in the poem called Tom
O'Shanter and in the following stanza:
But pleasures are like poppies spread
You seize the flower the bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
moment white-then melts forever;
Or like the borealis race,
That fit ere you can point their place;
Or like the rainbow's lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm.
The lines portray with unusual beauty
and force, the fieeting nature Of pleas
ures, and illustrates how well that brill
liant poet could describe things and at
the same time. how very weak he was
in resisting sensual qualifications.

The line lies about on the steep side

ems out and from there on the building

At a point one half mile above the
starting point where the river Is only
POO feet wide il is proposed TO put in a
fiume suspended on wire rope to carry
sufficient water to irrigate about 1000
acres Of fine land on the south side. A
fiume can be put IL at this point for $500

very feasable method OF reclaiming 1t.
At the upper end OF the main fiat on the
north side of the river is tract Of about
1900 acres that il is almost impossible
to get water on owing to its hight above
the other land. In order 10 cover this IL
would require the ditch to be continued
some six or eight miles further up the

COMMITTEE.
HOW WE ARE DRIFTING.

The following opportune remarks
from the Malad Enterprise come about
as near the mark as anything we have
seen lately and we believe it will be
interesting TO the Payette and Emmett
people at this particular time:
1T is becoming a noted fact that the
American people are drifting into chan
nels that brood no good TO humanity;
they are alternating themselves gradually
but surely, from the pathway of virtue
sincerity and manhood; from honesty to
hypocrisy; the love Of fellowman to
selfish covetousness and from pure sin
cerity to falsehood and deception. Step
by step our egotistical ideas grow upon
us until they are the paramount feature
OF our makeup. We are too suspicious;
to unbelieving and yet too ready to be-
lieve. A man is treated with the ordin-
AIRY civility and he at once suspects that
their is some object for il, some deep
laid scheme by which the other fellow
is trying to gain his confidence only for
a purpose, in other words he is playing
me for sucker. An enterprising in
dividual attempts to agitate the people
by showing to them the advantages that
would accrue from the construction OF a
reservoir, the building OF a schoolhouse.
OF any other project destined TO be more
or less beneficial; they agree with him
perfectly while he is advancing his argu-
ment but as soon as his back is turned,
they put on that laconical smile denot-
ing their sagacity and say I'm on to
him, he is figuring on swooping in few
uncanny dollars, he's shrewd cuss but
he don't play me-" You take the hand
of your neighbor in warm friendly
grasp and treat him with the least sign
of sincerity, bystander remarks, ''lool
out that fellow is trying 10 pull your
leg" and thus il is. no man to day i:
ever credited with a pure motive ol
honest intentions. sincerity or any such
virtue; every thing he attempts, every
idea he advances, is for his own specia
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. In this respect we re.
semble somewhat the skinny fingered
celestial, mo monee; no worSie." Now
would it not be more pleasant il th'
American people were more philanthrop
ic and less selfish? II they tried to philo
sophie more there would not be such al
expression as Jumping at conclusions,
in fact if we were not such hypocritica
and insincere beings ourselves Their
would never be occasion for suspicson o
others.
This is the way we are drifting and t
check this should be the endeavOr o
every man able TO see his own folly. |
left To take his own course the time viii
come when man will degenerate to th'
, level of the brute, he will descend TO tina
level from whence but a few centurie
> ago he emerged, an indolent, ignoran
and supersticious savage. Some ma.
laugh at this picture. il is a trifie assum
ing but the moral is there just th'
same.
