A COMPARISON.

By comparison Idaho is not so bad
off as our illustrious ex-governor would
have US believe. The state records
show that the average assessed value
of patented lands in Latah county is
now 1854 per acre, while the railroads
pay on an assessment OF $4,000 per
mile on all main lines in Idaho. 1t is
contended that the assessment OF one
is as near the actual value as is the
other. AS compared with other west
en states Idaho is not so slow either,
and the facts will afford little ground
for fault with our state board OF equal
ization. In 1901 Oregon taxed her
railroads $148 per mile; Washington
Sl78; California $3.50 and Idaho $197.
In 1902 the same states collected
from the roads: Oregon $156; Wash
ington $215; California $247; Idaho
S244. THIS YEAR, WHILE
OTHER STATES REMAIN THE
SAME, IDAHO HAS INCREASED
ITS TAX CHARGE PER MILE
FOR RAILROADS TO AN AVER
AGE OF ALMOST $3.50 PER
MILE.

A country newspaper man, who is
very fond Of honey, visited neighbor-
ing city recently, and at one Of the ho-
tells he was served with some delicious
honey. He enjoyed it so much that
he told his wife all about it when he
returned home. On his next trip to
the city she accompanied him. They
visited the same hotel, and when the
new meal was being served he said to
his wife he hoped there would be some
more OF that honey. 1t did not appear,
however, and the newspaper man,
therefore, beckoned to a waiter, and
said Say, Sambo, where is my hon
ey?" He was almost paralyzed when
the worthy grinned ano replied; She
doan work here no more boss. She
done got job at de silk mill" The
wife received handsome new dress
before they returned home, after max
ing solemn promise not to tell the
story.-Journal of Commerce.

The question of the direct election
Of U. S. Senators is nearer the point of
decision than people think. To do
this requires constitutional conven-
ton, and twenty-five states have prac-
tically made call. Provision is made
for such a convention by the fifth art
ticle fho constitution, when the call is
by two-thirns of the states. There are
forty-fve states and two-thirds of that
is thirty; hence, when eight more
states join in the call, the convention
will be held. The states that have
already made the call are Montana,
Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Oregon,
Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Nevada,
Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Minnesota, S. Dakota, Utah, Kentucky,
Indiana, Florida, North Carolina, N.
Oak, Ohio and Wyoming.-Ex.

Because a girl has not married young,
and is approaching the age where, if
single, she will be put in the old
maid'' class is no proof that she is not
good and nice, but rather is an evidence
that she knows her own worth; that she
has good sense and an appreciation of
life, and will not hitch up" with just
anybody who will propose. Many Of
these unmarried women are jewels,
worth their weight in gold. The best
is not always the easiest obtained, but
lucky is the worthy young man who
succeeds in Turing a good girl into the
paths Of matrimony. -Palouse Repub-

1t is a great benefit to farmers in
many ways to have large town neal
them. In the first place the value o.
farm land is greatly enhanced by the
proximity Of town. The larger the
town the greater the value of the farms
surrounding it. In the second place,
the larger the town, the better the mar
ket for the farmers produce. In the
third place, the larger the town, the
greater the taxes it pays, and the light
er the taxes of the farmers. In the
fourth place, the larger the town, the
better its schools, its churches, its no.
tells, its theatres, its lectures, its enter
tainments, in all Of which advantages
the neighboring farmers can share,
if they so desire. In the fifth place,
the larger the town, the better will be
the roads leading to it, and the more
complete its freight and transportation
facilities. From every point of view il
is advantageous for the farmers to help
build up large town in their vicinity
They can aid materially in building
the towns. How? By giving all theil
trade to the local merchants, and spend
ing their money at home instead o.
sending it away to build up large cit
les far away, and increase the value OIL
the farms close to those cities. The
more trade town has, the more stores
it will have, the larger and better the
stocks Of goods carried by the mer-
chants, the keener the competition
and the lower the prices, by all Of
which the farmers in the vicinity will
PROFIT.
AS rule, the home merchants will
make just as good prices, quality con-
sidered, as the catalogue houses. II
they do not have in stock just what is
wanted, they will send for it. They
give the farmer the privilege of in.
specting his goods before he takes
them. They will try to retain his
trade by fair and liberal treatment.
They will grant accommodations that a
mail order house would CURLY refuse.
Every dollar which the farmer spends
in a town near him helps to build up
that town and thereby adds value to
each acre Of his land and increases the
advantages which his family can enjoy.
The Commoner would like to have
the farmers of Whitman county think
over this matter carefully and make up
their minds as to whether it really pays
them to help increase the value Of
farms in Illinois, New York, and Penn
sylvania, instead Of spending their
money where it will increase the value
of their own land.-Colfax Commoner.

If it is true that Senator Hepburn
is opposed to railroad regulation and
that he will work against the proposed
bill he will find he has stir ed up the
hottest hornets nest he ever heard of.
Mr.. Hepburn may be great man but
even that fact will not be sufficient to
prevent his defeat the first time Idaho
voters get an opportunity to re-elect
his successor. The people of Latah
county are with Theodore Roosevelt in
his present fight for railroad regulation
and it will not be healthy for the repre-
sentatives from this state if they do not
stand by President Roosevelt.
