The republican press throughoI

The republican press throughout
the country has been jubilating for
some time upon the enormous in
crease in the bank deposits through
out the United States in the past
few years, and they desire to attri-
butte this condition to the fact OF
republican administration. The
fact that the great bulk of these
deposits are placed in banks instead
of going into business or industrial
enterprises for investment, marks
the change which has come over
the country since the domina-
ton of the trusts. Private citizens
are afraid to embark in Industrial
enterprises because they are all
controlled by the trusts. Individ-
ual opportunity has come to be a
thing of the past. The trusts con-
troll every line Of industry and for
any private individual to embark
his savings or surplus capital in
any line of business monopolised
by the trust magnates simply means
a loss of every dollar. There are
two sides to the bank deposit argu.
ment when you come to look into it.

"House Bill No. 4s. bv Grav. y /,

"House Bill No. 40, by Gray" is
more vicious still. Apparently it is
the intention OF the author to
amend the 1901 Revenue law,
which, doubtless, he has never read.
He starts out by saying: "That all
lands heretofore sold for taxes in
the State Of Idaho, and struck oil
to the respective counties at such
sales, for which the county holds
certificate of sale or deed, execut-
ed by the county treasurer" The
author of this bill is evidently not
aware that all tax sale certificates
are made by the Assessor and ex-
officio tax collector, and that tax
deeds are made by such officer, or
his successor in Office. The 1899
Revenue law provided that the
county treasurer should issue a tax
deed to each and every redemp-
toner of tax sale certificates; (see
Session laws, page 26S;) but this
provision was repealed by the 1901
Revenue law, and the treasurer is
not now required to issue tax deeds
to any redemptioners from tax sales
made since 1900.
This bill would also reduce the
time limit for redemption to six
months, and require the redemp-
toner to pay the county treasurer
two dollars extra for a tax deed,
all of which is unnecessary and OPP
pressive to the taxpayer who may
have the misfortune to be in arrears
with his taxes. Such legislation
simply cumbers the statute books
and law libraries, mistifies our
courts and stultifes the law-making
body.

The net result of the legislature

The net result of the legislature
to date is nil. 1t seems that the
republican majorities in both cham
bers are hopelessly divided on all
live issues, and the main fight
seems to be whether Gov. Gooding
shall be upheld or repudiated. This
is matter in which democrats
have no concern. There are var
ious propositions afoot which, if
enacted, will place the state CT Ida
no in a position where it repudiates
the constitutional limitations re-
garding state Indebtedness. and
will pile an ever-increasing bonded
debt upon the taxpayers. The
solons should 60 slow in this mat
ter, for while it is an easy matter
to plunge the state in a bonded
debt up to its ears in flush times,
it is q much harder and more
serious matter to pay interest and
principal when hard times come
again, as come they will. Better
be sure than sorry. 1t is mighty
good time to put stop for the
present to any increase of the state
debt.

Vicious Legislation.

After reading some Of the bills
now before the legislature we rise
to remark that it is apparent that
some of our solons who, like Cicin.
natus of old, left the cherished
quietude of home to guard the in
terests Of the dear people at the
state capitol, are better fitted for
herding swine than for making laws
to govern the people of a great and
growing commonwealth.
We have before us, "House Bill
No. 81, by Smith, Of Nez Perez"
which, if it becomes law. would
require the trustees of school dist
riots to issue orders for warrants to
teachers for services, W h b err
there was any money in the trea-
sury to the credit of the district or
not, and would require the school
district to pay interest at the rate
OF seven per cent, on such warrant.
until sufficient money accumulated
in the county treasury to pay them,
but would make no provision what
ever, whereby the county treasurer
could have any knowledge or re-
cord of the number or amount of
such warrants. He would there
fore have no data from which, nor
to which, interest upon such war
rants should be computed, until
the warrants themselves should be
presented at his Office for payment.
But in addition to the fact that
the bill is incomplete and that il
would fail to give the results evil
IDENTIFY intended by its author, it
has another feature that should add
fuel to its funeral pyre, and that is:
that the country would soon be
flooded with issues of warrants so
uncertain in time of redemption
that banks and brokers would dis
count them, the teacher would get
less wages than he should, the
people would pay more for their
schools than they should, and the
credit of the districts would be seri-
ously impaired; and it would often
happen that the trustees would
not know how much of such paper
there was outstanding against Their
respective districts.

The SmOOt Case.

The testimoney is all in in the
senate investigation of the Mormon
Apostle-senator Reed Smoot, and
in due time We shall doubtless
have report from the members
OF the investigating committee, and
then we shall see what we shall
see. 1t may be remembered that
when a polygamist democrat, Brig
ham II. Roberts was elected to the
house of representatives, he was
promptly unseated by a republican
majority, iu which vote every dem
ocrat participated. But Smoot is
a republican senator, and it is
still a very doubtful proposition
whether the republican sen ate will
vote on the proposition of expul-
sion in the same manner as they
would if Smoot was a democrat.
1t has never been claimed that
Smoot was a polyga mist, and the
investigation was conducted along
the lines Of demonstrating whether
the Mormon church, as a church,
taught, advocated or practised the
doctrine of polygamy, and also
whether the church, as a church,
used its influence among it's men,
bers along political lines. These
questions have been pretty thor
oughly threshed out, and to man
up a tree it would appear from the
evidence that the Mormon church
organization is still committed to
the doctrine of polygamy as divine
revelation, and therefore binding
upon its members. The testimony
OF head apostle Smith last winter
abundantly demonstrated the fact
that majority Of the church coun-
Gil are still advocating aud prac-
ticing polygamy in defiance of
existing law.
The testimony brought out since
December l, 1904, when the hear
ings were resumed, has been dis
tinctly of good results in demon
strating the claims of the petition
ers shat the Mormon church is
just as much of political organi-
cation as it is religious body.
This testimony has aided in mould
ing public opinion in the east, and
if it becomes known to the people
of Idaho it will make an impress
sion here. Judging from the agi-
tation in the Idaho legislature, now
in session, on this subject, the
Mormon question seems to have
grown constantly and to have be-
come an issue, even with the re-
publicans, who tried to laugh the
democrats out during the late cam
paign in this state.

Referring to the supreme court

Referring to the supreme court g
decision in the beef trust case,
John s. Miller, counsel for the
packers, says that the order simply
restraints the packers from doing
business in restraint of trade and
in violation OF the Sherman anti
trust law. He adds that the pack
ers have done nothing in violation
OF this law, hence the permanent
restraining order does not in any
manner inconvenience them.
But the court held that the
charges made by the government
had been SUSTAINED, and that the
beef trust was conspiracy under
the Sherman antitrust law. 1t is
significant that this question was
decided by Justice Holmes, who,
not long ago, speaking from the
bench, said that the Sherman anti
trust law was criminal statute,
and should be enforced accordingly.
1t is evident that the packers do
not intend to comply with the law.
But President Roosevelt has it in
his power to enforce that law in the
most practical way if these trust
magnates do not obey. If they
continue to conspire in restraint OF
trade the chief feature OF the Sher-
man antitrust law, the criminal
clause should be enforced, and these
men should be held to account.
