iDAHo's WISE STEP.

THE BILL which has just passed the
L Idaho senate providing for the dis
tribution of state funds for deposit
among the banks that offer the highest
rates of interest on such deposits, looks
like a frst-rate measure. There is a
provision for a board of deposit COM
missioners which must pass on the Sc
curities offered by a bank for state de-
posits, and if these securities are of
insufficient soundness, it becomes the
duty Of the board TO reject any offer
made by that bank.
In a special message urging the pas
sage of this bill, Governor Morrison
sad:
1T was said by the opponents OF the
measure that the treasurer was elected
to have and to enjoy the emoIuments
of his office Granted: but will any one
admit that such emoluments as are the
product Of a felony. to the evidence of
which the sworn officers of the state,
including the members of the legisla-
ture must wink? Those who oppose
the measure on the ground indicated
answered in the affirmative"
Continuing. be said that the treas
urer handles about S7,O00.O00 of state
funds and gives a bond for only s65. 900.
It is apparent that this bond is totally
Inadequate unless the state is protect
ed in some other way. The experience
OF states great deal older than Idaho,
in which the treasurers deposited money
in favored banks and lost It, either
through their own carelessness or
through the failure OF their banks. is a
sufficient Justification for the bill
Most states have law which pro-
hibits treasurers from receiving inter-
est on state money for their own per-
sonal use. Nevertheless, in many in
stances the provision has not been en-
forced. We find the position Of state
treasurer. even though the salary may
be so lOE as to amount to practically
nothing. one Of the most eagerly sought
for offices in the entire list.
The reason for this may be found in
the fact Just cited; the treasurer en-
riches himself through drawing inter
est on state money. II any interest Is
paid Oh state deposits II should be paid
e. the state. Treasurers have no right
~ any emoluments outside of their sal
aries. unless the statutes distinctly
specify differently. Idaho is to be con-
graduated on having made a start IL
the right direction.
She has set an example that some
other states might follow with advan-
tage

WILLIAMS ON WATER.

HE HERALD, in common with
L nearly all the people of Salt Lake,
entertains the highest regard for Sen
ator Williams of Salt Lake county. His
intelligent stand on the subject of vac
cination when the Mcmillan bill. of
which he was the step-father. was up
tor discussion, is well remembered by
all Of US. Now Senator Williams has
been taking another stand and we find
him making this intelligent argument
against the passage of the water COM
mission bill which he once favored:
Il don't see any reason for the pass
age Of this bill at this time" said the
senator. IF the city council is incom-
petent to control the water system,
what assurance have we that this pro-
posed commission will be any better?
Salt Lakes present water supply would
seem to be large enough. We have POS
gallons of water to each inhabitant,
while New Orleans has only thirty
five, and many other eastern cities have
less than fifty. have been investigat-
ing this subject since gave my APP
proval to this bill and l am convinced
1t would be a mistake to pass it,
From his talk we are constrained to
believe that Senator Williams ''inves-
| LEGATIONS" did not cover a very wide
! range. Let us take his remarks seria-
tim, not that they are important, but
( merely for the sake of symmetry. In
! the first place he is against the bill be-
| cause he has no assurance that the
| proposed commission will be any bet
/
has made any pretense at investiga-
! ton he knows beyond the peradven-
/ ture of a doubt that the council has
| shown itself utterly incompetent to
! handle the water question.
Still he would leave it in those In
/ competent hands in preference to try
/ ing a new system which at least con-
/ tains the promise of a decided i'm
| provement. Secondly, Senator Williams
says Salt Lakes water supply is large
! enough. OF course, such a statement
as that proves his assertion that he
/ has made an investigation Salt
Lakes water supply is not large
| enough by a considerable percentage.
When people living in a city are com
PEELED to stop sprinkling their lawns.
when trees die for lack of moisture and
streets are covered with inches of dust,
that city cannot truthfully be said to
have a sufficient supply of water.
Senator Williams is unfortunate in
his comparison of Salt Lake and New
Orleans. 1t may be true that New Or
leans has per capita supply of only
thirty-five gallons. while Salt Lake has
2OS but New Orleans has the Missis-
| sippi river to draw on in case of emer-
gency. There is also considerably more
rain in New Orleans than in Salt Lake,
| besides which anybody can dig three
or four feet into the ground and Sc
cure plentiful supply. We need more
| water in Salt Lake than almost any
where else in the country on account
of the deficiency in precipitation from
! June 1 TO Oct. 1.

for the measure Senator Elkins de-
clares that it will stimulate the ship
building industry here.
That is. in order to avoid paying the
extra 10 per cent duty. the importers
of the United States viii get together
and built lot of boats with which
to bring their goods from abroad. SEN
ator Elkins must have a very poor
opinion of the American people. He
has either been deceived himself or he
thinks they are very easy to deceive.
The truth is that the passage of his
bill win not stimulate American ship
building to any appreciate extent.
The importers do not pay the duty on
goods made in foreign countries. In
the last analysis the consumer pays
all the bills, and the consumer viii pay
this bill also. The Elkins measure is
simply another attempt to put a few
more inches on the tariff wall. It's
passage viii simply give the trusts an
opportunity TO turn the screws a lit
tie tighter. This is true because the
consumption of imported goods in the
United States is, after all. trifle.
The evil of the tariff lies in the fact
that it permits home manufacturers
to compel the people to pay exorbi-
tant prices for products which they
could purchase cheapIy if the tariff
were removed. Superior goods can be
and are produced in this country for
less money than goods of similar char
acter are produced abroad. Yet we
are compelled to pay the cost of pro-
duction, with a fair profit added, and
then the tariff to cap it all.
Any law that enables American
manufacturers to sell American-made
goods cheaper to foreign dealers than
to their own fellow citizens is a bad
law, and any attempt to increase the
evils OF such a law should be very
promptly suppressed. Senator Elkins
confesses that he has no hope of Sc
| curing the passage of his bill at the
present session of congress. but in the
same breath he announces that he will
introduce it again next winter. 1t will
J do no harm for justice-loving people
to bear this in mind and to fight the
proposition increasingly until it has
been buried in defeat.

 As has been stated by The Advertiser train .o 96. which now only runs from New Orleans to Mobile, will, beginning Sunday run to Montgomery This train will leave Mobile at 12:15 a. m., just ahead of No. ?, arriving in Montgomery at a. m. It will do all the local passen- ger work between here and Mobile now done by No. ?, stopping at Bay Minette Almost, 'F'lomaton, Brewton, Evergreen, Georgiana, GreeT.ville, Ft Deposit and Letohatichie. This will made No. strictly a through train with no local stops, but there will be no change in its arriving time in Montgomery.
 It will still have a two-hour lay-over in Montgomery and get the morning Florida connection of the Atlantic Coast Line as usual.
 Train Noa96 will get the Pensacola con- nection at Flomaton and bring 1t to oMnt- gomery thirty minutes earlier than it reaches here now.
 Going north this train, No. 96. will leave as a section of train No. and will do all the local passenger work now done by that train between here and Birmingham making No. 2 a through train between here and Birmingham. At Birmingham an accommodation train will leave for Decatur each morning doing the local passenger work. Train No. will then be a limited train all the way from New Orleans to Calera.
 Coming south this accommodation train will leave Birmingham shortly after the departure of train No. for NJ 1ntgamery. doing the local passenger work of that train between Birmingham and Montgom- cry and making No. 3 limited train.
 As it is now. trains No. 2 going north and No. coming south are so overcrowd- ed as to make the condition of travel diff fcult to handle. With these new trains there will be a doubled daily accommo1a- tion train service between here and Bir-

BOLD BURGLAR ROBS STORES
 DOWN TOWN AND ESCAPES

From the jewellers window, five watches are missing. From the window. of the dry goods merchant. three handsome dolls and come doll clothing are gone.
 The robbery had evidently been well planned. With heavy rain falling to deaden the sound of crashing glass. and with patrolmen on the Court street and Dexter avenue beats, busy at the cor ners handling the tlirong of theatergoers, the man who did the work, with @ dia- mond or a glass cutter, outlined small arm opening in the jewelry store win dow. With a brick muffied in a handker- chief. the outlined glass was opened. The arm was passed quickly sthrough the opening and five watches were stolen.
 Mir. Loeb, the proprietor of the store. said that all of the watches with one ex- ception were of minor value. The injury to his plate glass window, he said, was of more consequence than the loss of the watches. He has the numbers of the stol- en time pieces.
 MT. Stegall said that his loss was of little consequence The opening in the Court street store window was made sim ilarly to that in the jewelry store ex- cept that only mufied brick was used the glass not having been cut.
 The police have made no arrests.

 The Christmas holiday rates, on which officials of the Southeastern Passenger Association have been at work for some time, are now completed. and they will be printed and distributed shortly. This work has required much study and con- sideration. and the roads in this territory are now ready to sell tickets on uniform basis that is considered fair to all con cerned, including the travelling public. Unusually heavy traf1c is expected this season. as the business has opened up more briskly than has been its wont Thousands of people in the country visit cities embraced in the territory to whi h the rates apply to do their Christmas shopping. and when all these points are taken into consideration it becomes evi- dent to one not connected with the pas senger business that some definite under standing upon the part of the roads en7 gagged in the movement is absolutely nec- essary.
