Governor Steunenberg put the finish
ing touches en- the process of making q
very Important law when he attached
his flowing signature to Senate Bill No.
l05. The object of this law is to facili-
tate the count Of the vote in general
elections, Fer years past the result in
almost every state in the Union has
been known hours before the count in
Idaho had been completed Through
the long hours Of the first night Judges
an clerks have wadel alaeI,iiy through
the ballots and in many Of the larger
precincts the following night would find
them still at it. Not only will the new
law facilitate the count but it will
minimize the possibility Of mistakes,
which are bound to be frequent when
brains are dulled from lack of rest.
Tho new law provides for 5wo set Of
judges, and the following is the full
text of it:
i @secsion 1. In every precinct, where
at the general election then next pre-
cediag there were more than leo votes
cast for the oGlcs Of governor, the board
Of county commissioners Of the county
/ whereia the same IL situated shall at
the time provided for tho appointment
Of election officers, appoint two sets ot
such officers and in making such ap-
pointment shall designate which sci
shall act under the provisions Of this
act. And such board shall also make
suitable provision for the carrying Of
this act into effect
Soc. 2. When at any election in any
precinct to which this act applies q
votes shall have baen cast, another bal
lot box for receiving ballots shall I
used and the first ballot box shall "a
closed and delivered to such JUDGES des
ignated as provided in section Of taii

Drifting Away.

The Columbia Evening Record, OF
March 4,h, delivers the following
blow straight from the shoulder and
hits above the belt:
Some Of the South Carolina papers
have lost their moorings. They flop
all around. Fighting the dispensary
law, they assert that each county
subdivision Of the State ought to be
allowed to say for itself what liquor
regulation shall be Of force within It's
limits, and say Democracy demands
such a condition in the name of local
self government. And yet they
favor federal interference with the
right Of South Carolina, a sovereign
sub division cf the Union, to say
what form of liquor regulation Shall
be of force within her borders. How
do they square that opposition vita
their advocacy of local self govern
ment as cardinal tenet of Demo.

evident in the case of the News and

business it is to deal with those muir
derers, cannct convict and punish
them, neither can the federal courts.

many dangerous possibilities for

Amount Collected is Necessary to
Inspect"
Washington, March 3.-A case,
the decision of which will affect the
laws of North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Virginia. Georgia, Alabama,
Kentucky and other Southern States,
was argued in the United States
Supreme Court today. In North
CaroliDa and other States there is
what is known as the commercial
fertilizer tax" imposed by the State
on fertilizer companies selling pre-
ducts to these States.
l. IS claimed by the State authori-
ties that the tax is imposed merely
for inspection purposes, but The COM
paries claim OILY one-ffth of the
amount collected is really necessary
for such inspections. The clsim is
made that no article shipped from
one State to another can be taxed ex-
cept by the United States. The
State Of North Carolina last year COL
lected between $4,000 and $4,000
by this tax. The case was argued
y months ago before the Supreme
Court, but the court ordered a re-
argument before full bench The
attorneys in the case are Col. JOHN
Hinsdale and Mr.. Thomas n. Hill
for the fertilizer manufacturers, and
Messrs. R. H. Battle, T. H. Busbee
and J. c.. T.. Harris for the State CT
North Carolina. Mr.. Hill opened
the case today.
The attorneys for the State will
speak tomorrow and Cul. Hinsdale
will close the case for the complain
ants.
