FIGHT STATE LEVY
Northern S0gnt'es Oppose
Unconstitutional State
Tax Demands.

The following irom the Occur d'Alene
Press applies 10 Canyon, as well as to
kootenai county;
1t is probable that the state VIII hnd
its revenue cut of from the counties on
account OF the illegel acts OF the state
board OF equalization in attempting to
force from each county an amount OF
taxes in excess Of the constitutional
limit. which under the present assessed
valuation OF the state as equalized by
the board, is limited to five mills on the
dollar OF valuation. In Kootenai county
the amount illegally levied is s15,6eA.O 90.
The total assessed valuation Of this
county, az equalized by the board Is
81, ,gO4, 1910, which will produce IN
taxes on the constitutional limit ot five
mills, s24 ,52a. The state calls ON the
county TO pay $40, ,sOs as its share OF
state taxes, or sl5, ,es4 mere than it can
collect. This state OF affairs is due to
the extravaganza OF the last legislature
ia following out the wishes OF the
governor for big state fund to be placed
at the disposal of the present admins
tration. II will be remembered that
the governor urged the legislature to
pass a resolution for constitutional
amendment permitting higher tax
levy, probably at the time anticipating
the necessity for more revenue under
his administration than had ever before
been necessary to conduct the state
government. The makers of the consti-
tuition wisely placed a limit on the
amount officials could levy against the
people. They undoubtedly anticipated
lust such an administration as we have
at the present time, and the the wonder
is that Governor Gooding and his
associates on the state board OF equaliza'
ton would have the audacity to attempt
n to flch from the people of this and
n other counties fifty per cent more money
N than the constitution permits. Sho
of shone county will take steps to save hel
III tax payers this unjust burden. Viii

CHARGED with abduction.

From The Statesman of Sept l6.
County Attorney Koelsch was called
to Meridian yesterday afternoon in con-
nection with a warrant that has been
issued there charging Curtis Pettet OF
Owvnee, Malheur county, Oregon. with
abduction. Pettet, it will be remember
ed, appeared in the office OF Aunitor
Cuddy the first OF the week in company
with Miss Bertha Schweitzer, also OF
Owyhee, and asked for marriage
license. The doument was refused
under instructions from the girPs
mother, and the couple left for the
west, apparently intenoing to return
home. Instead, they went to Meridian
and were still there a day or two age
when Mrs. Schweitzer appeared on the
scene. She became incensed over the
elopement, and filed a complaint will
the local justice of the peace, charging
Young Pettet with abduction. He go
wind of the affair before the warran
was served, however, and the Office
has so far been unable to find any trac
of the alleged abductor.

LABOR TROUBLE ON
LAKES WILL BE LACKING
Engineers Are Authorized to Sign In
dividuaI Contracts With Owners

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 23.-Om the
authority of delegates returned from
Washington, where the Marine Engi-
neers' Beneficial association has just
concluded it's annual convention, it is
announced that engineers Of the Great
Lakes have been authorized to sign in
dividual contracts with the vessel own
ers., This announcement goes a long
way toward assuring an early opening
of navigation as far ~as labor troubles
are concerned. When the Lake Car
riers association held its annual con-
vention here fortnight ago it was in
timated strongly that the carriers ha6
decided upon determined fight for
the ''open shop principle and ,athat
their attitude would inevitably lead TO
a strike of the engineers, who were
said to be preparing to make a fight
for the CLOSED shop 1t was at that
time rumored that no bonuses would
prove sufficient to induce engineers to
sign contracts except through the in
tervention of their unions.
With the masters and pilots union
virtually disrupted as far as the Great
Lakes are concerned, and the engineers
ready to sign individual contracts,
there now seems to be little danger of
the carriers failing to effect satisfac-
tory arrangement with the seamen and
other classes of marine help.

Changing Philippine Tariff

WASHINGTON, Jan. Secretary
Taft has addressed a letter to Chair
man Payne, of the ways and means
committee, explaining his purpose in
transmitting to congress the bill to
amend the Philippine tariff. The sec
retary says it was found that the orig
inal5 tariff act of 1902 had defects, such
as the prohibition of the importation of
machinery and certain other duties
not producing sufficient revenue The
present bill was prepared under the di-
rection of Mr.. Taft while governor of
the islands. The secretary refers to
the proposed increased duty on opium
and the authorization to the commits
sion to prohibit the importation alto
gether, or to provide repressive meas
ures, which it is now powerless to do
Gov. Wright is quoted as saying that
the present customs revenues from
opium are about $4,000 per annum
and some method must be devised Of
replacing this revenue. Mr.. Payne to-
day introduced a bill to revise and
amend these laws

LIND EVOKES HORSE
LAUGH FROM HOUSE
Expresses Surprise at Lack of
Provision for a Horse
Stenographer

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-The
session of the house today was devot-4
ed entirely to consideration of bills re-
lating to the District of Columbia.
Laughter and applause followed a
criticism by Mr.. Lind (Minn.) of an
item of $4,000, which he said was in
connection with the care of forty
horses, when he expressed surprise that
there was no provision for horse
stenographer.
There was an echo of disturbances
in st. Petersburg when Mr.. Baker, OF
New York, moved that an adjournment
be taken out of respect to those who
were killed in the clash with the RUS
sian troops. Speaker Cannon put the
question sto the house. The only vote
recorded in favor of adjournment was
that of Mr.. Baker. Seeing that his mo-
ton had been lost, Mr.. Baker, shaking
his finger at the Republican side Of the
house, exclaimed:
''That is the interest you people have
in humanity" and in an undertone said
that If it had been king or emperor
who had been shot down the house
Immediately would have adjourned.
A little later the proceedings were
interrupted by Mr.. Pearre, of Mary
land. being seized with nervous con-
vulsion.s4 necessitating a brief recess.
He soon rallied. The proposition to
control the railroads in the matter of
rates was discussed by Mr.. Burgess of
Texas. and Mr.. Hepburn. of Iowa.
Mr.. Beveridge made another inef-
fectuaf effort in the senate to have a
time fixed for voting on the statehood
bill. The opposing senators expressed
an unwfllingneSS to vote until the
amendments shall have been disposed
of and Mr.. Beveridge would not con-
sent to a vote on them without an
agreement extending to the bill itself.
The Qualifications appropriation bill
was passed after rejection of the
amendment striking out the provision
for insular Notifications.
