Gives for outlook a boundless horison,
Who, seeing, dares face the light.
Three cheers for the man who can do things!
While others are wondering how!
Who. pledging himself to the truth and right
Has never forgotten his vow.
All hail to the man Of true couragei
Who never Sinking the fight.
Would choose the paths that lead through

Three cheers for the man who can see things
With vision strong and fine,
Who has lead the land with unerring hand
To the Nations foremost limo.
To him. alone on the mountain,

THOSE SCHOOL TAXES.

THE Panhandle News is get
ting desperate for campaign
thunder. Any old thing will do
to fill up. The statement in the
last issue that the general school
levy would take the burden off
the railroads, and place it on
the backs of the farmers, is most
ridiculous.
Any school boy can do better
figuring than that. Doesn't the
Panhandle News know that the
general school levy affects every
dollars worth of railroad pro-
perty, including every foot OF
trackage, i'll kootenai county,
while the special taxes affect,
only in those districts where the
tax is levied?
Again the statement that all
school districts through which
the railroads run were advised
not to levy any special tax, is
absolutely false, as no school
district in the county was advis-
ed not to levy any special tax.
On the other hand all school
districts in the county were ad-
yised that the general school
levy would be raised to ten mills
and for them to reduce their
special levies accordingly. The
results show that the school dis
tricts did as they were advised,
as the average special tax this
year amounts to only 2 mills,
whereas last year it amounted
to q mills.

sioners left the general levy as it
was last year it would have been
necessary for the people OF the
district to have voted Is mills
special tax in order to raise the
funds they wish and which they
will get under the levy as it is.
This would have made a total
fax levy of AZ mills in the dis
trict. But as the commissioners
raised the general school levy to
10 mills, and by doing SO raised
the total levy only four mills, SO
that the district needed but to
vote 10 mills special tax, the to-
tai levy is As mills for the dis
trict. This is found by adding
to the general levy OF 81 mills
the special schoollevy OF 10 mills
and the town levy of 5 mills.
Last year, to a general levy OF
% mills was added n special
school levy Of S mills and town
levy Of 5 mills, 81 mills in all,
the total levy this year being
8 mills higher. AS the raise in
the general state and county
levy is all in the school levy the
Rathdrum school district will
receive twice the money it re-
ceived last year. Therefore it is
clear that had the district not
needed any more money this
year than it needed last year it
would not have needed any spec
ial levy this year, and the total
levy for the district would have
been but 36 mills or one mill less
than in 1908. But Rathdrum,
like four or five other districts
in the county has had extraord-
mary expenses this year, due to
growth. In all the other districts
where special taxes were voted
last year a different condition
exists regarding the tax levy.
All those districts which did not
need any more money this year
than they did last will pay one
mill less this year than they did
last year, for this reason: dis
! tricts which levied 10 mills in
1908, paid 10 mills tax includ-
ing the general levy q mills,
and road special 3 mills, while
i'll 1904 they levied but 5 mills
and will pay # mills tax includ-
ing general levy 81 mills and
! special road 8 mills. Those dis
tricts which voted 5 mills in
1903 voted no special tax for
1904, and also pay one mill less
| for the same reason.

BORAH's ADDRESS.
Short Account of the Meeting Last
Friday.


Friday.
1t was a crowded house and an APP
preciative audience that greeted w.
K. Borah in Rathdrum last Friday
evening. The room was beautifully
decorated with bunting and flags and
hung with portraits of great repu IL
cans. A bonfire and the intermit-
tent explosion of giant fire crackers
heralded the hour of the meeting
which began at about 8 O'Clock and
lasted until ten.
Tbs meeting was opened oy Chair
man G. l.. Hoffman. Several local
candidates were present. They were,
r. &. Egbers for superintendent, II.
S. McCrea for probate judge, Geo. II.
Ross for treasurer, w. II. Edelbute
for surveyor and VIM. Ashley, Jr.,
for representative. Each was intro
duced and made a few remarks.
Mr. BOrah, the speaker Of the eve
ming, was then introduced and
delivered what in many respects may
be termed the ablest address which
has been heard in Rathdrum in many
Years. 1t was an eloquent and
cogent presentation Of the Republi-
can position, national and state, and
rounded up the So called issues Of the
opposition with cutting sarcasm.
Mr.. Borah contrasted the admins
tration Of Harrison and Cleveland to
show that while under the former
the national debt had been reduced
by reason Of wise protective tariff,
1t had been increased under the latter
by the enactiOn Of the Wilson tariff
which removed the import duty from
a great number of articles which
could be produced abroad by cheap
foreign labor and sold in this county
at prices SO far below the prices
necessary to MAINTAIN the high
American wage scale, that vast num-
bers Of American factories were
smothered by the competition and
thirty per cent Of the American
laborers were thrown out of employ
ment, causing the famous Coxey
army movement for remunerative
employment. He then told how
prosperity and the busy hum OF Ameri-
can industries returned with the
restoration of the protective tariff,
and recOunted the achievements of
the last seven years Of republican
administration.
His review of state issues was
along the lines of his republican con-
tempOraries but was more lucid,
interesting and entertaining. His
arrangement Of Dubois was most Sc.
we're. He referred to Dubois as an
adroit politician who has contradict
ed himself on many questions since
he changed his political views to
further his own aims, and intimated
that within ten years he would be
trying to get back into the Republi-
can party for the same purpose. lie
ridiculed the Dubois Mormon issue
without mercy. He said Dubois had
raised the fictitious issue in an at
tempt TO retain HIS seat IN the
United States senate, and pointed
out that 1t is significant that he
studiously avoided Incorporating in
to the democratic state platform
those sexual crimes against which
Idaho statutes have no laws, but
mentioned only those for which the
statutes do provide punishment. He
said there could be no issue in de-
handing law that already exists.
