THEY AREIN DOUBT.
Commissioners Don't Know What to
Do About Bank Taxes.

The county commissioners, sitting as
a board of eaualiza ton, are having
trouble about the bank taxes
The statute provides that the bank
stock shall be assessed at the true val
ue The true value is generally taken
a. the par value of the shares Some
bank stock is worth more than double
the par value and some may be worth
less Whether to assess the stock at
the market or the par value is the ques-
ton before the commissioners. Another
question is whether the banks shall pay
on either or both the surplus and undi-
Nided profits.

100000 A YEAR.

It has come to as through quite
reliable sources that a few chatter
ing gossips are assiduously seeking
to create an impression that The
Tribune is opposed to the establish
ment of beet sugar factory at this
place. 1t is not worth while to
seriously refute this malignant non
sense, but it may be profitable to
clearly state our position. The
Tribune heartily favors every move"
ment looking to the upbuilding of
Caldwell and surrounding country,
We desire to see not only one but,
it practicable, dozen sugar factor
les erected within a stones throw
of this Office. But we don't want
to see a sugar factory or anything
else established here which may
injuriously effect any considerable
portion of the community. Fund
amentably the prosperity of Cald-
we'll depends on the prosperity Of
the agricultural interests which sur
round it. You may build your
factory and start off with ever so
long payroll, but unless the people
who produce the raw material that
feeds the factory are enabled to do
SO at a comfortable profit, the factory
will soon close, the payroll vanish,
and the last state of the community
will be worse than the first. It is
currently reported that farmers in
other States and in portions of this
State have bound themselves under
3 and S year contracts to cultivate tc
beets annually given number o1
acres of lands at fixed price o.
So. so per ton for the beets, and that
too late, those farmers have owned
that there is no profit in the bust
ness ON such terms. We do not
. nor have we ever, vouched for the
: truth of this report. but as it vitally
concerns farmers who intend to en-.

IOWA RECEDES.

The "Iowa Idea" which was the
dominant tone of tariff reform, in
Republican circles, especially in the
West, a year ago, has been deserted
by its parent, and genuine old
line tariff reaffirmed. This is some
thing on which Idaho Republican
platform builders may we'll reflect.
The last Idaho Republican platform
is saturated with the rejected Iowa
Idea. 1t bubbles over with the
thought of smashing the trusts
with the tariff reform club. The
reason for this outbreak in Iowa as
we'll as Idaho is not far to seek.
For a time it was thought that
President Roosevelt had become at.
tached to the notion that the trusts
could be reached and destroyed
through tariff schedules. He really
did talk that way for a while, anC
Iowa and Idaho, in their unboundec
admiration of the President, hasten

loyalty. But the President very

Now, if there is really and truly
big money in raising beets' we nave
a proposition to make to enthusl-
astic gentleman which will conVel'
them into millionaires in very
ebort time. It is claimed that the
land hereabouts will produce 10 to
- tons of beets to the acre. Let

cause we must avoid exaggeratlon'
Very we'll, eighteen tons at $3.50

which let US add $40 an acre for
seed and preparation of the ground
and another $40 for water and Incl
dentals, that makes $42.5o which
deducted from $751; leaves a net pro-
fit of $3S. 50, but lest we have over
looked something, we will take OF
the $3.50, leaving the round sun
of $40 per acre clean profit. Nov

explained this afterwards but II
was too late. Iowa, Wisconsin ana
Idaho had gone over the fence ana
there they were. This paper very
frankly acknowledged its inability
to feel comfortable in the tariff re-
form field, and number OF State
speakers were profoundly silent as
their losition, while others openly
rebelled. In less than a month
after the Republican platform was
proclaimed there wasn't an alto

But, as Idaho followed Iowa IN
1909, it can just as well do 1t IN

SHOULD EXPLAIN.

The Shoshone Independent,
which has recently passed into the
hands of that young and vigorous
journalist, Ben A. Brewster, is be-
fore us. Every page indicates life,
energy and ability, emitting the
young editor to more than ordinary
praise. There is though note of
resentment in Brewster salutatory
which seems to indicate that his ex-
perience on the Journal was nor
of that happy kind which swells a
young man with noble pride and
spurs him on to splendid achieve
ment. He speaks as one who has
escaped from bondage but in whom
the scars of oppression have not yet
healed. "The publisher, of this
paper" says: Mr.. Brewster, refer
ing to the Independent, wears the
collar of no local, State or National
person" and lit will not be run in
the interests of the political aspira-
tons of any political mountebank. !"
Again says Mr.. Brewster: "The
time is ripe in Idaho and especi-
ally in Lincoln county wherein one
man dictation should end, and
brainy and progressive Republicans
have an innings" In the indie"
pendent, Mr.. Brewster publishes
the "obituary" which he intended
should apprise the readers of the
journal, through the columns Of
the Journal" of his involuntary
retirement from the editorship of that
. paper. But it seems he was moi
granted even the consolation of a
fare We well. The management o.
