Press Comment.

1t is TO be regretted thai che
supreme court felt obliged to-
render such a sweeping opinion in
deciding the fee bill case. No one
can tell what the full effect of the
decision is to be, but all are agreed
that it opens up a pandora's box
of dangers and that it may he i'm
possible to close the lid for years.
There can be no doubt that it is
one OF the most important decis COS
ever rendered in the west. The
fee law sinks into significance be-
side the multitude Of other lave
that may be attacked under the
rule laid down. No citizen eau
tell in what manner his personal
interests may be affected, while the
possible effects upon the state in
general are appalling to coiis
template. Under these circum-
stances the decision becomes the
storm center of public interests
and it is the duty of all citizens 70
give it their attention to see il
there is any way in which threat
ened dangers can be avoided
Statesman.
The supreme court: in its fars
reaching decision on the fee bill,
has let down the bars for endless
litigation in Idaho and has inaugus
rated carnival Of court made Law
which will prove serious menacs
to the prosperity of the state. All
lawyers agree that under this de-
cision nearly all the vital laws
enacted since statehood are subject
to attack.-PocatellO Tribune.
The decision lays considerable
stress on the definition Of the term
urgency" in connection with pass
ing a laws and the question mature
ally arises, is the legislature to he
the judge of what constitutes an
emergency or urgency or is that
the function Of the supreme courtV
The reasoning Of the court upon
the point, so far as disclosed by
the abstract of the decision already
published, is by no means clear.
A grave emergency confronts the
people Of the state and the worst
feature of it is no one knows 10
What extent the decision reaches.

EDITOR EXAMINER:
About l o'clock today Elder i.
B. Porter and myself arrived At
the home of Mr. Alfred Wolverton.
We were received very kindly. and
while feasting on some ripe peaches
brought to us by the kind gentle
man, he told us OF most thrilling
incident that happened near his
home few days ago.
Two big Indians, while engaged
ir a little dispute over something,
became very angry. and one of
them went SO far as TO grab an axe
and succeeded in knocking his
fellow-man down. Then placing
his feet upon the Indians breast,
he severed the head from the body,
apparently thinking no more about
il than If he had been chopping so
much wood. Mr.. Wolverton was
Immediately sent for, and he states
that on approaching the scene his
heart nearly failed him. The In
dian was found lying upon hin
back, his head being some distance
away. The murderer is now in
the county Jail awaiting examina-
ton.
Newton county redmen are pre-
pairing for a game of Indian ball /"
to be played this summer. They
have a great time during this game
and many get seriously hurt bes
fore it Is ended. Occasionally one
will loose his life in the mix up.
The Law grants them the privilege
of playing this game, and of courss
nothing is said or done about those
getting killed.
The few Indians remaining in
Mississippi obtain their living by
tilling the soil, but none ever AZ

a Dangerous Uaeeo.

The Russian thistle is getting a
foothold III Canyon and Ada coum-
ties which may prove very trouble
] some later Oh. Large patches of
/ this formidable nuisance are to be
found south of Caldwell, and at
different points along the Phyllis
and Ridenbaugh canals. and it is
spreading rapidly. The Record
has heretofore called attention to
this dangerous weed. and again
suggest that steps be at once taken
to suppress it.
In the absence of express law on
the subject it would seem to be
within the scope of the authority
vested in the county commissioners
TO take action.
Our horticultural inspection law
as originally framed, provided for
destroying weed pests, but for some
reason this feature was so bitterly
opposed by these who should have
been its supporters, that the provi-
sions was finally eliminated. Now
whatever is done to prevent the
spreading Of noxious weeds, must
he largely voluntary matter.
individuals should interest
themselves sufficiently to try and
keep it from their own lands, and
particularly to prevent its going to
seed. But municipal and county
authorities should cooperate to
the full extent Of their powers, in
efforts to throttle not only this
weed but several other bad ones
that are becoming established in
this region.
If a strong effort were made
right now before these weed seeds
become scattered 70 the four winds
it would be an important pre-
yentive measure.
If something is not done soon it
will be necessary to invoke the aid
of the state, and this would likely
involve the enactment of stringent
laws and a large expenditure of
public money.-Caldwell Record.
In connection with the above.
the EXAMINER desires to state that
this county is threatened with the
dandelion plant Many farms
about Paris have already succum-
bed to it and more are being cover
ed every year. Unless something
is speedily done the whole valley
will be rendered unfit for cultiva-
ton. the plant, by reason of the
l peculiar construction of the seeds,
spreads rapidly and where last
year there we're no dandefions this
skason there are millions Of them.
| We urge also that the legislature
eshould take some action in tbs
matter at its next session, for il
it does not Bear Lake valley will
be given over entirely to this de-
ssructIvc weed. Heroic measures
will be required. but they will
have to be taken sooner or latter.
