In another column we publish the
result of a conference between the
merchants Of Boise and the pure food

Pherson has refused to give the
results of his tests TO the merchants,

under such conditions. Publicity is

abolishing the sale of adulteTated
foods, for not many people are going
to swallow poison il they know il;
but the state authorities, for reasons
known only to themselves, refuse to
give out a list of the adulterated
foods. Whether their action is for
the purpose of protecting the manu-
faeturers of frauds, or for lack of
confidence in the ability Of THEN
chemists to make correct analysis, Is
not certain. The people want some
action in the matter and we have no

that are pure and unadulterated.

ABOUT TAXES.

Down in Neg Perce county, Jay
Sedgwick, the tax agent of the North
cru Pacific, has just banded check
for $40, 92s. SO to County Assessor
Clifford, that sum representing the
taxes of the company in that county.
The Lewiston Tribune in mentioning
the fact says:
MIR. Sedgwick is now paying the
company taxes In the state and when
questioned as to whether all the
taxes had been paid at this time,
said; NO, we have not yet paid
the tax imposed in Kootenai county.
The officials in this county saw lit to
fix the general, school, road aud
bridge levy at the full limit allowed
under the law, and in addition TO
this also levied a full limit special
school tax and an S mill special road
tax. The company has appealed to
the courts on the ground that the tax

scessary." . The Northern Pacific

the revenues received from the rail

no fault with the levy made in Nez
PIERCE county" said Mr.. Sedgwick,
because it is fair.
In Kootenai county, according to
figures obtained at the court house,
the total amount of taxes to be
received from all sources is about
Sl35, 600. OF this the railroads pay

The railroads must pay the samt
percentage of taxes as the individual
and there should be no discrimina
ton in favor Of either. In the dis
puta between railroads and the county
Of Kootenai, the objection is not or
account Of being assessed the same as
individuals, but the railway con
siders the levy exorbitant and beyonc

'dividual tax payer takes. Tit

proposition. The taxes are up to tn

THAT sUGAE EoUNTY.

The announcement of State Auditor
Turner that he would resist the pay
ment of the sugar bounty has caused
an unusual commotion in state ad
ministration circles. The people Of
the state are with the auditor in his
efforts to prevent the plundsring of
the state treasury, but the governor
is reported as standing in with the
sugar trust He is said to have
stated that he was surprised at the
action of Mr.. Turner and the attorney
general also feels hurt over the
action of the auditor without having
first obtained his opinion. The
auditor probably did not value the
opinion high enough to ask for it, or
ne may have been satisfied that
Bagley would decide in favor of the
trust. To the sugar men the governor
said I'VE know nothing of his inten-
tion, and it il needless to say that
re do not approve Of 1t. | am forced
to say that Dir. Turner'S action
regarding the payment Of the bounty
vas without the knowledge or sanction
of the rest Of US The governor
added that from what he could learn,
Mr.. Turner had consulted and souhgt
bis inspiration Of what hal occurred
from the democrats interested in
Boise. Attorney General Bagley
intimatsd that before such step had
been taken he should have been
consulted. He said that the rspub.
lican victory IN the last campaign was
in a great measure due to the sugar
bounty plank In the platform, and
that Mr.. Turner himself has stumped
the state on this platform. The
Reputation, he said, was not tbs
sentiment of the people of Idaho
irrespective Of politics.
Bagley's statements are mislead ing
The republican speakers did not dare
TO talk sugar bounty In the norther
part OF the state, a. they knew that
such graft for the benefit Of small
community at the expense Of ths
people Of the state was unpopular
Such a campaign would have cost the
party five nor herd counties, will

AMONG our EXCHANGES

The discerning reader will lay
down the Presidents message with
the impression Of a significant
change in the Presidential mood.
Here Is a state paper deserving to
take a place of honor in our annals.
Here Is a certain conservative balance,
OF dignified self-restrsint, by which
the writings Of Theodore Roosevelt
have not been hitherto characterized.
The President Is growing. He Is the
same gallant knight and strenuous
fighter a. Of yore, but be has been
sobered By responsibility, chastened
by criticism, uplifted and strength
ened by the influence Of great minds
with which be has been associated. --

NEW THEATER INVENTION.
Kansas city Man Perfeets an AUTO
matte "spots Light.


Al device for operating lights in thea
tiers from the stage has just been In
vented by Edward w sohlberg, stage
manager Of the orpheum, in Kansas
City, who has applied for patent on
it, says the Kansas City Star. Il is an
automatic spot light and color wheel.
The spot light Is the strong white
light which is used upon dancers and
others when the rest of the house and
the stage are in darkness.
Heretofore ii has been necessary to
have man In the balcony to operate
it. This resulted in the blocking of the
view OF a number OF people in the au-
dience and caused the rays Of the
strong light to strike others in the face.
BY Mr.. Sohlbergs invention the light
is fastened on the front Of the balcony
below the vision Of the audience there
and above the heads Of those IN the
parquet. 1t is handled by the same
man who controls the other lights and
switches Oh the stage, and II follows
the dancers movements about the
stage automatically. 1t Is the first 81
its kind, and no other opera house
In the United States has one. Mr, Sohi.
berg used Ii recently for the first time
during the engagement Of Louise Mont
rose and Florence BindIey, the girl
with the diamond dress. It was in use
every night and gave satisfaction.
In connection with the spot light
IS a color wheel which contains sever
different colors, each Of which JUS
covers tho spot light This wheel i
on bali bearing axle and Is CONTROLLED
by the same man, who simply presse

desired color. The colors are put In tn

Move 70 Renter at Washington Body
OF smithsonian Institutes Founder.
James smithson, EngIishman, who
founded the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, died in Genoa in 1929 and
was buried there, says Harper's Week
ly. The cemetery wherein his bones
lie has been abandoned. and the land
is to be used as a stone quarry. All
the bodies in it are to be removed The
regents Of the Smithsonian propose
that James Smithson's remains shall
be brought to the United States and
reinforced in the grounds Of the insti-
tuition which is so noble monument
TO it's founder James smithson was
the illegitimate son Of Hugh Smithson,
who became Duke Of Northumberland.
From the family of his mother well
born woman. he inherited a fortune.
He became a noted scientist with a
strong political preference for republic
an institutions. He never married and
when he died left nearly all his estate
ito the United States of America to
found at Washington, under the name
Of the Smithsonian institution, an es-
adjustment for the increase and diifu-
sion of knowledge among men," The
money, f104.960, was sent to the Unit
ed States in 1895. and the Institution
was established by congress in 1916.
Smithson once wrote "The best blood
Of England flows in my veins. On my
fathers side / am a Northumberland,
on my mothers / am related to kings;
but this avails me not My name shall
live in the memory of man when the
titles Of the Northumberland and the
Percys are extinct and forgotten" He
hitched his wagon TO the right star, and
his forecast is well on the way toward
fulfillment. His bones should come to
Washington. Mr.. Alexander Graham
Bell, one of the regents Of the Smith
sonian, strongly advocates bringing
them over seas and has offered to pay
the expenses of removal.
