When nine-months old colt will
sell for $3.50, it does seem to us that
no further argument is needed to
convince the horse men of Bear
Lake county that 1t pays to raise
thoroughbred stock. The above
price was paid in Montpelier last
Saturday for thoroughbred
Perchcron filley, that was foaled on
July Is. 1908, and tipped the beam
at s95 pounds. 1t cost no more to
feed that colt, after she was weaned,
than it would to have fed the com
monest kind Of scrub. But what
price would scrub or an ordinary
grade colt sell for at nine months?
Well, the owner would be lucky if
buyer was found at any price. Of
course it wouldn't do for all the
farmers to go to raising Percherons,
as the market would in time become
overstocked with that class of horses,
but whatever breed is raised, it pays
big money to breed from thorough
breds. A man who has high
breed Percheron, Clyde Belgian,
Coach horse or roadster can always
find buyer at good price, while
the man with the poor grade or
scrub horse must sell at any old
price he can get.

Two years ago the democrats of
Idaho told us that if Gooding was
elected governor, the two-mile limit
law would be wiped from our stat
utes, and sheep would be permitted
to Craze everywhere and any W here,
regardless of the rights of the
farmers. AS is generally the case
with our democratic friends, their
prophecy has proven TO be false.
But what will they say now, that a
gubernatorlal boom has been started
for Judge Stockslager, the man who
has on three or four different occa-
sions declared, by his decisions, that
the two-mlle limit law is unconsti-
tntional. We do not say but what
Stockslager is honest in his belief
that the law is unconstitutional, but
his views regarding the law are
such as to lead us to believe that If
elected governor he would endeayor
to have the measure repealed by the
legislature.

The Ohio legislature, at its recent
session, passed a law providing that
no school teacher in that state shall
be employed for less than $40 a
month. That is most commend
able law, but to us here in the west
$40 month seems like a pretty
small salary. However, $40 in ONO
is equal To $50 a month in Idaho.
But in the rural districts of Ohio
the school trustees had gotten into
the habit Of employing those who
would teach for the least money,
the qualifications of the teacher not
being taken into consideration.
That was most pernieious habit
and one that was tending to degrade
the schools of The state.

The primary election law enacted
by the last Legislature of Illinois has
been declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court of that state, and
Governor Dineen has called an extra
session of the Legislature to pass a
new law, but it is not likely that the
measure can be made effective tins
year. The law which the court has
just knocked out was the result of
painstaking efforts on the part of
Governor Dineen and leading mem-
bers Of the Legislature, and it was
believed that it would cure all the
ills of the old system and secure TO
the people the fairest and fullest ex-
preston of opinion at the polls.
However, learned lawyers were en-
pioyed to dissect the law, and such
vital defects were found In Its pro-
visions that the highest court in the
state could do naught but declare il
null and void.
