After contesting the matter
in the courts, George Gould
will pay into the treasury of
the state of New York the
sum of $4,000 as tax on the
inheritance of $5,ooo,ooo left
him by his father. 1t is re.
markable that he should have
made a contest. The public
mind is made up on the just
ness of an inheritance tax, and
public opinion would support
a much higher rate than that
provided in New York on be-
quests of such great magni-
tude. Recipients of such leg.
acies should be glad enough
to get off SO lightly.

Hon. Frank L. Moore.

Frank l.. Moore, who was
nominated for district Judge
of the second judicial district
by the democratic convention
at Boise, is well known to the
people of Latah county as a
lawyer Of commanding ability
and a man Of high integrity and
good moral character. Mr..
Moore was born in Olmstead
county, Minnesota and is &c
years of age. He lived on a
farm with his parents until
twelve years of age when he
entered the high school from
which he graduated at six.
teen, after which he varied the
monotony of farm life with
teaching school for the sue
ceeding five years. He then
entered the law school at Ann
Arbor, from which he gradu.
ated with honors in 1888, re-
ceiving the degree of bache.
lor of laws. Of the three 9TH
ers graduating with him who
received special honors, two
have reached places upon the
bench and the third has been
prosecuting attorney in the
county where he resides. In
September, 1888, MIR. Moore
came west and located in Pa
louise City, where in the fol.
lowing spring he opened a law
office. In 1890 he was elected
to the second legislature in the
state of Washington. In Apr
il 1893, he came to Moscow
where he continued his prac.
tice and in November 1904,
he became a member of the
firm of Forney, Smith & Moore.
of which he has been an act
i've member. This firm has
enjoyed a practice in the State
Courts of Idaho and Washing.
ton, and also in the federal
courts. The bar of this ju-
dicial district accredits him
with being proficient in the
and it is conceded that he
will, if elected, make a most
excellent Judge.

1t is doubtful whether the

caution, says the Portland Tel.
egram.
The lower house was, per.
haps, more the object of Off

and at the hour of adjourn,
ment it presented the appear.
ance of having come in con-
tact with rather a healthy cy-
clone. Books, papers, ink.
stands, waste.paper baskets
and cuspidors-all were taken.
The legislators, assisted by
their committee clerks, had
made a clean sweep.
One representative is cred
tied with having made away
with eight cuspidors. AS soon
as the house adjourned, and
the members had taken their
departure, the doors were clos
ed, for outside of the desks,
chairs, electric light and gas
fixtures, and the portraits of
Oregon's governors, nothing
remained. 1t was to protect
what there was left, no doubt,
that prompted this precaution.
airy action on the part of the
janitor.
The determination to loot
the legislative halls appeared
to be contagious, and extend

clerks, many of whom did
their hardest work the closing
day of the session. They were
to be seen vending their way

The Amendments.

bolsc otateSman,J
There are two amendments
to the constitution to be voted
on this year. Both embody
meritorious principles but it is
doubtful if either should be
adopted.
One of the amendments pro.
vides that no county shall be
cut down to less than 400
square miles and $I,ooo,ooo
valuation and that no new
county shall be created of less
proportions. That may or
may not be a good idea, but
it is doubtful if the constitu.
ton is the place for it. There
has been too much Legislation
in our constitution already.
1t now provides that no coun-
ty shall contain less than 400
square miles. That may be
a wise provision, but it is easy
to see that conditions might
arise under which it would be
desirable to make a smaller
county. Certainly no county
should have less than $1,000,
900 valuation, but we ought
to be able to leave questions
OF this kind to the legislature.
The Statesman does not wish
to be understood as opposing
the amendment, but it suggests
that voters should consider
whether or not the provision
proposed does not more prop
erly come within the legisla-
tive function.
The other proposed amend
ment provides for the substi.
tuition of fixed salaries for coun.
t.y officers in place Of the pres
rnt system. The joint resolu.
lion, in its title, purports to
'mend sections 7, s, and Q. of
@.rticle IS, but it only provides
or amendment of sections
md 9. 1t is one of the mi
ak 5 made by the last lcgis
aiute. 1t would make a jun.
De ot that section of the con.
'titttion that no one could un.
lerstand.
Again, the proposed amend
lacnt proposes that officers
nay retain fees to reimburse
