Ten Eyck for Caldwell Measure.
In an able speech Ten Eyck Of Douglas
attacked the revenue bill as being one
sided IN favor Of the railroads. He said IL
was a fair law for the farmers and ought
to be made such for the railroads. He said
the railroads were threatening to raise
freight rates and in the face Of this he said
1t was time for the republicans Of Ne

Spurlock OF Cass, Who is against the
Caldwell amendment, appealed to the mem
influence. He said the railroads are
charged with cracking their whip and GER
tain members with obeying it's lash. But
he charged that the newspapers had been.
cracking the. whip and beating members
into line who feared publication of their
actions. He then launched out into a de-
Tense of the corporations, saying that while
other taxpayers had evaded their Just share
of taxes, the railroads had always paid
theirs. He denounced the Caldwell amend
ment as wrong because it gave to the local
assessor the discretionary power of right
to fix property valuations.
Loomis of Dodge, the fusion floor leader.
concluded the debate in a most forcible
speech for the Caldwell amendment. He
regretted that this debate Had sunk to the
low level of partisanship. He wanted the
problem fought out along strictly business
lines. He refused to consider the PROPOSE
tion as a party matter, Notwithstanding the
contrary efforts of Thompson. Sears,
sweezy, Douglas. Mockett and Spurlock. to
make it such. He made the most prolonged
argument on either side and was the lead
ing speech for the Caldwell amendment.
At 4:35 the Caldwell amendment was de-
feated by a standing vote of So to SO.
The Thompson amendment was adopted
by a vote of 81 to SO. - :
The Loomis amendment to section 81 was
carried. changing the time OF assessing to
April 10, Instead Of February, and making
other changes.

A few months since young girl
in neighboring town committed
the crime of grand larceny, was
tried, convicted and sentenced.
She was young, not bad looking
and public sentiment made clamor
for her pardon. The pardoning
board has just released her and she
was sent to the Critenden home at
Boise. Having been less than a
week in that institution, she evil
dences all symptoms of degener
ate and is pronounced incorrigible.
1t Is the old problem of heredity.
what will be done with her? If
you incarcerate her public senti-
ment says that you make of her a
hardened criminal. and if you lib
crate her you ptrpetuate race of
criminals. In this question of
heredity we are brought face to
face with the well known addage
of the schools that to educate a
child properly you should. begin

Backed by Public Sentiment

County Attorney Dunn of Sho-
shone is one that class IF officials
who believe in enforcing the law
so far as possible-who do not sit
down supinely and permit law to
be violated because there is an ele-
ment that wishes to have it so.
Dunn has shut down gambling In
the county.
1t is in the power of any official
in any county to do that; moreover
1t is the duty OF every county at
torney, every sheriff, every deputy
sheriff, every probate judge, every
other judge, every constable and
every police officer to see that the
law is observed, the statute being
SO drawn that gambling as bust
ness cannot be run in defiance of
any officer determined to do his
duty.
There Is always strong pubic
sentiment in nearly every commun
ity which will support the officers
In enforcing the law. While there
may be an exception here and
there, they are scarce. In many
instances business men lean toward
permitting games to run because
they have not learned the lesson
that it is detrimental to their bust
ness. They see few gamblers
spending large sums and conceive
the idea that it helps business to
have the games running ; but
wherever both plans have been
tried it has been found that. bust
ness Is benefited by enforcement
Of the law. The reason for this l:
perfectly apparent. If 200 mer
lose their months wages at game:
there Is less to be put into genera
circulation. There may be SIS, oot
or $40, 900 dropped by the 200 men
Perhaps not rs per cent Of it is ex

town where it was won, wherea
most OF it would have been distrib

been kept off the tables. S m,
would go into savings and the res
In providing for dependents. Tn
latter would be far better provided
fol and the sum of happiness ant
prosperity of the community woul'
be correspondingly increased. /
Is for these reasons that the mer

terprises. No state in the Union
will be more benefited than Idaho
by the operations under the irriga,
ton laws recently passed by con-
gress. Vast areas in the southern
part of the state along the arid
plains of the Snake river valley
are certain to be red eemed under
the present law, and larger invest
ments are coming into the state
today for this purpose than for any
other. A large irrigation project
offers even a better field for invest
ment than large mining deal.
Given the land and the water and
permanent values are at once Gre
ated and the income, though 1t
may be annually less than in sue
cessful mining venture, is morally
certain aud of greater permanence.
Idaho offers an attractive field for
investments of this character and
news from all sec ions OF the state
shows that capital is ready and
willing to exploit this resource,
and in conse quence large enter
prises are being projected in the
state.

The Country's Cash

The per capita circulation OF the
United States at the beginning of
the present month, according to
the treasury figures, was $29.34.
There was a slight decline in
March, but in the twelve months
ending with March there was
large gain. AT the beginning of
April, 1908, the total amount of
money in circulation In this coun.
try was $2,35b757e43. This
showed a gain of 500. zoo, 900 In
the IL months. Less gold coin Is
In circulation now to the extent of
$I3, 100, 600, than year ago, but
more gold circulates in the form of
certificates, to the extent of $64,-
400, 900, than then. Other forms
of the currency show considerable
changes dowu or up.
1t will be noticed that though
the country's population is grow
ing pretty rapidly, lis cash is ex-
banding still faster. Ordinarily,
this is the case in general when
the republican party Is in power.
1t is especially truce of recent years.
The circulation per capita was
$24.44 in 1892, just before the
democratic victory in that year.
Then, with some fluctuations, II
went down, and it was only S2I.Io
In 1896, at the time when Bryan
started his financial reign of terror
The amount quickly increased,
however; after the republicans re.
gained power in 1897, and the
general tendency, with some short
and slight fluctuations, he's beer
upward ever since.
While there are some complaint:
occasionally about shortage, OF
i'm agined shortage, Of money in
circulation, 1t will be noticed that
the cash in the hands of the people
and 10 the banks is growing faster
than the country's inhabitants. o.
course, business is growing fal
more rapidly than is population,
This. too, is consequence of re-
publican sway. This growth in
bu mess was expected as result
Of the republican victory OF 1896
II began Immediately and has beer
with us ever since. The volume
of the eountrys trade is making q
greater expansion than has been
known since the time the republi
can resumption of specie payment
act went into operation at the be-
ginning of 1879, and the growth
will continue. There will be
money enou h nevertheless, to f.
nance all the country's activities
