Mr.. HoAR omits to specify how the
imperialists are bringing danger upon
tho American flag or what oppression
or injustice II stands for. Ia 1t injustice
and oppression to assert the right Of the
United States TO territory which belongs TO
it by the sword and by the purseI Then
the American flag waves over vast regions
on this continent which have been acquired
by oppression and injustice. Is it injustice

The Two New Leaders,

The Hon. DAVID BRENNER HENDERSON,
the Speaker In the Flfty-sixth Congress,
has long been conspicuous and useful
member Of the House. but never distinctly
party leader, either through the force OF
his permanent equipment as public man or
through his happening To be the foremost
champion Of some one dominant sentiment,
which makes leadership while 1t lasts. Mr..
HENDERSON was chosen because OF tho
general liking. confidence and respect felt
for him by the majority Of his associates.
Probably no Speaker ever took the chair
with less resentment among disappointed
rivals for his place confronting him on the
floor.
The Hon. JAMES DANIEL RICHARDSON,
whom tho Democrats would have made
Speaker had they controlled the House,
rises to the honor Of Democratic leadership
out OF ruck OF parliamentary respect
ability. unmarked by any achievements
that give national fame materially higher
than that attaching to the honored place OF
membership In Congress- Mr.. RICHARD
SON has the respect OF his Associates. like
Mr.. HENDERSON, although his career has
been far less distinguished above the
majority OF them.
Yet these two modest and faithful par
tsans may show powers for party service,
each to his party, through tho trying and
delicate situations that in such moving
times inevitably await them, which at the
end Of the session will put them in the very
first rank OF party leaders. This only the
session can tell. But they must look out.

The county commissioners will
meet early in September to fix the
tax levy for the year. They will
find quite problem confronting
them. \ la passed at the last
session Of the legislature fixes the
maximum rate for state and county
purposes at $3.50 on the 800 of
valuation. A year ago the rate was
$3.50 ON the 800. How to raise
sufficient revenue at $3.50 per
hundred will be the problem, when
a rate of $3.50 was required last
year. The law requiring property
to be assessed at its cash value has
not been productive of the results
expected 20 far as Kootenai county
is concerned. The assessor has
been enable to raise the total assess.
ment only about % per cent, ex
elusive Of the railroads, the assess
mert of which will be fixed by the
state board. The legi ,lature
thought the increase would be 100
per cent. At rate Of 81 so, it will
be seen that the county can not
raise sufficient revenue to pay run
ming expenses. The commissioners
are not actually bound ID the 81. 30
rate, however, a. they may levy a
special tax to take up outstanding
warrants, which may amount to a
rate of 20 cents, and special road
tax at rate of % cents, making
the maximum rate for the year in
the neighborhood of $1.95 per hun,

roads to be fixed by the state boarc
, will be Of much interest to tax
payers.
