COUNTY SEAT NOTES.

Attorney Robert H. Elder and G.
A. McCIaren, of Occur d'Alene, we're
over on business Tuesday.
Ludwig Roper, constable Of
Occur d'Alene precinct, was over on
Tuesday with some prisoners for
Sheriff Doust.
Andrew Merritt has been chosen ne
the extra deputy by Sheriff Doust.
Owing 10 the size Of the county and
the amount Of work In the sheriff g
office, 1t has been found necessary to
have more than one deputy In order
to handle the business. During the
last year the fees derived from the
sheriff's office more than paid the
running expenses.
Quite a stir was caused at the
court house this week when the Great
Northern Railway company paid their
taxes amounting to s7o, s40.1 Over
$40, 600 Of this amount is interest
and penalty which the railroad has

RAIsE tax LIMIT.

Governor Gooding has sent a spe-
cial message to the legislature urging
it to pass a resolution to submit
constitutional amendment to the
people which will permit the state to
make tax levy Of five mills on the
dollar. The present constitutional
limit IL high enough and IL 1t does
not raise revenue enough for legis-
lature to squander in wagon roads
and other iobbery for the benefit Of
favored sections Of the state, We be-
lieve the governor will be compelled
to find some other means Of raising
the taxes. If the amendment ever
gets to the people on a referendum
they will do things to it which the
governor may not dream Of. Catch
the people voting to almost double
their taxes? Not in a Thousand years.
The constitution makers probably
had an idea that some day a repub-
lican, or some other kind Of legis
lature or governor, with million
dollar ideas, might come along and
want to bleed the people. There are
but few states with the maximum
levy above three mills and many Of
them limit it to a smaller amount.
1t Is our opinion that the governors
and Legislatures Of the future will be
compelled to worry along with the
limit at three mills.

Our old friend George f. Boomer,
the socialist leader, who was sus-
pended by bis party for one year be-
cause he acted a. secretary Of a non
partisan citizens meeting for the
purpose Of selecting candidates for
village offices, at Prosser, Wash. i,
takes his medicine and says it lie
good, although 1t Fuckers his mouth
and Is bitter. Boomer Ia brave in
the cause of socialism and stands
treatment from his party which would
make most men bitter against it's
tyranny and unwarranted interior
snee with individual rights. The
proceedings in this case show that
socialism would destroy the rights
guaranteed to the individual by our
national constitution, consequently

Of government and erect upon its
ruins a sociaIistiC plutocracy.

4 resolution has been introduced
In the house for a constitutional
amendment permitting the state to
issue bonds In aid Of railroads and
other internal improvements. The
people will soon dispose Of that
proposition II the Legislators lack the
good Judgment to turn II down be-
fore 1t IL submitted to a vote. The
proposition ia an attempt to open the
public treasury to one Of the greatest
gratis that ever befell the people
II the referendum required in making
a constitutional amendment were ex-
tended to other general laws affect
ing the interests Of the public we
would have more wholesome legisla-

The logic Of statesmen is some
thing subtle beyond comprehension.
For instance, It was argued by
eminent members of the Idaho legis-
lature, that the passage of resolu-
ton endorsing President Roosevelt's
policy touching railroad rates, would
be tantamount to a vote of lack Of
confidence in the president. That 10
certainly unique reasoning. As we'll
say that resolution condeming the
presidents's policy would be equiv
alent to an endorsement. Caldwell
Tribune.
Representative Ashley has intro
dueed a bill in the house TO change
the name Of Snake river to the old
Indian name Shosho-nee. 1t will DO
noted that Ashley has added an to
the last syllable to give the pro-
nouneiation that prevailed so long,
The name was pronounced Sho-sho-
nee, accent on the last syllable, bat
was spelled Sho-shO-ne. The name
was first pronounced three or four
different ways, but finally settled
down to Sho-sho-ns, accent ON the ne,
until Bannock Jim was interviewed.
The Indian pronunciation, be said,
was Sho-sho-ne, accent on the second
syllable, and that has ruled ever
since. 1t Is not only more enphon-
ious than with the accent on the last
syllable, bat Is the true Indian pro-
nunciation, so II the river Is to b.
given Its old name let 1t be spelled
with one in the last syllable with
the accent on the second syllable. =

a bill on these lines will be drawn

discussed the proposed legislation.
They say that II the administration
can present a more satisfactory meas.

There are good many democrats,
and other interested persons, who
would be much pleased If the repub-
liean factions could just keep their
political fight out of the county
division controversy until the matter
is settled by the legislature, then no
objections will be made If the fac
tions get in and annihilate each
other. The division fight was not
fairly started until republican fac
tional politics was injected into the
issue, and before the bill had been
considered by the committee, the
governor was approached with prop
osition to give one faction the
county treasurer in case of division
aud the other side might have the
balance Of the offices. This probably
accounts for the extreme anxiety OF
certain political manipulators tc
have one of the city's representative:
at Boise recalled. II our fractional
republican friends will hold off until
we secure division, there are great
many people who will be willing tC
stand aside and see them devouF each
other. The people have some rights
in this division fght which ever
factional political manipulators ought
to respect. The Press has beer
gathering some unwritten history
during the last few weeks which MAJ
make interesting reading later.

One of the most comprehensive
reports received from any Of the state
departments is that Of Mining
Inspector Bell. 1t is valuable for
the information and data it contains
relative to the mining industry as
developed in each county. Not only
this, but it contains information re-
garding other resources of wealth, and
taken as a whole makes one OF the
best documents that could be scatter
ed throughout the east to show what
Idaho is and what she may become
by the industry and development
which will follow the investment Of
labor and capital. A striking fea-
ture OF the report is its honest state
ment Of facts and fairness to all
sections of the state. Some Of the
other reports indicate that their com
pliers know or cared very little about
the northern part Of the state, but
this is not true Of Mining Inspector

Rate OF Tax In Each County.

The Comptroller General has sent out
to the various county auditors notice as
to procedure in the assessment of prop
erto next year. The rate of taxation in
each county has also been arranged, and
the figures show in an interesting way
the difference in taxation in some of the
counties. Charleston holds the record
as far as low taxes are concerned, aud
outside of special taxes for school dis
tricts, with which the Comptroller has
nothing to do, Pickens is shown to be
the highest, the rate in that county being
Is mills, against Charleston's 1Og mills.
Oconee's rate is 13 ITO mills.

ocoNEE's REDUCTION or ACREAGE.

At the meeting of the Cotton Associa-
tion, held in the Court House at Wal
halla yesterday, canvass of the ia. N
ers present and those represented,
showed that the reduction in cotton acre
age for this county amounts to % per
cent from the acreage Of 1904. This
speaks well for the association and for
the ind ividual planter. With gene al
reduction over the Cotton States equal
to this there is a bright prospect ahead
of the Southern farmer. This fall he
will not only find himself getting bot
Ter price for his cotton, but with the
products of the land heretofore used for
cotton he will be better able to live at
homo, supplying all his own needs, in
stead of buying inferior Western corn,
hay and grain. The report of the Cotton
Association is gratifying indeed.
The association adopted resolutions in
regard to the use of cotton bagging in
stead of jute, and recommend the use of
cotton sacks by manufacturers of ferti-
lizers, and pledge themselves TO give
preference to those who comply with
their request.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one,
and shows that while the farmers are
working quietly, yot they are in earnest
and determined to stand firm in their
endeavors to command for their principal
money crop fair and living price.
