Village Taxation.

1t is hardly fair to blame the
present Village license system
upon the Village Trustees. 1t
was adopted as purely make
shift method of raising revenue
when no other way was open.
When incorporation was effect
ed it was too late in the year
to levy and collect property
taxes. Also, under the law, the
Village was not entitled to re.
ceive its allotted percentage OF
the saloon license money for
several months consequently
the only way to raise revenue
was by adopting license tax
upon the business interests Of
the town. There is genera
complaint of the inequality o.
the license system and that il
is not equitably enforced, some
paying promptly and other:
declining to pay at all. We dc
not know whether these com
plants are justified by the fact
or not. Personally, we can sa,
that since the fire last Decem

In Memoriam--D. H. Telcher.

AS briefly announced in these
columns last week DERRICK Henry
Telcher, died at his home neal
Grangeville on March 8, 1898. Mr.
Telcher was born in Germany Feb.
ruary %, 1885 and was brought to
America in 1S47 by his parents
where they settled in Illinois. In
1853 the family removed to Ore
gon. Mr.. Telcher came to this
section of Idaho in 1862 and has
ever since resided here. In 1871
he was married to Miss Margaret
Rauch, to whom six children were
born, and of whom four still sur
vive.
Mr.. Telcher tried his hand at
the mines in the early days, but
he was farmer by instinct, and
soon drifted into his natural
avocation, where by years of toll
and frugality he built up one of
the best improved farms and homes
in the county. He was a staunch
republican in his politics, and
while always prominent in the
councils of his party he never had
any official aspirations, although
he was called upon to serve the
people for two terms as county
commissioner, two terms as county
assessor, and again as viewer on
the state wagon road system. As
a public servant his record is one
of the purest integrity and faithful
devotion to duty, and Idaho
county has been particularly fortu-
nate in having such honest and up
right men as Mr.. Telcher and 9th
ers of his class of pioneers to fill
the county Offices ever since the
county was organized. In private
life Mr.. Telcher was a man of un-
failing cheerfulness, universal
good habits and the greatest of
generosity. To his wife and chill
dren he was the kindest of hus-
bands and fathers and what he
