PLANS MAY
MATER|AL!zE
Latah County Seems I'M
pressed With Plan of
Reorganization

The Commercial club of Moscow
will render a decision this evening
relative to joining with the lewiston
Charleston Fair association in the fall
exhibition of products of central Idaho
and eastern Washington.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the business men of Mos
COW by H w. Newton. secretary of
the Lewiston Charleston Fair associa-
ton, who visited the bushes men yes
terday afternoon and addressed a
meeting of business men last night.
The Moscow people seem favorable
to making an exhibit Of Latah county
products at the fair here and 1t is
probable the Commercial club will
authorize the circulation of a subscrip-
ton to provide funds for such an ex-
h\it on.
If the Latah county people bring an
exhibit to the fair this fall it will be
with the understanding that the Lew
iston- Charleston Fair association viii
be reorganized so that both Latah and
Idaho counties will be represented in
the rectorate and will share equally
in the management of the associa-
tion's affairs. Each county would have
separate organization and combin-
alton of the four organizations would
compose the interstate fair association.
The matter will be presented to the
citizens of Idaho county at Grange
vile by Mr.. Newton next week and
it is hoped that such cooperation may
be secured this year as win assure the
organization of a most comprehensive
fair association and the building uI
of one Of the biggest and best fairs
in the entire northwest.

potency Of Scientist

Christian Scientists, gathered in the
Merrimack county court house today
at the hearing of the suit brought by
the next friends" Of Mary Baker q.
Eddy aaginst Calvin Frye and other
Christian Scientists for an accounting
of Mrs. Eddy's property.
Judge Chamberlain announced re-
garding the motion made Monday that
he would rule on Mrs. Eddy's compe-
tency. That he would not try that
question at this time, but directed that
the arguments be confined strictly to
the question of Intervention by the
trustees.
General Streeter, of the counsel for
the defense, stated that the suit was
brought without Mrs. Eddys consent
and asked that the trustees nominated
in her recent deed of trust be substi-
tuted for the complainants in the
present suit The trustees asked this
as matter OF legal right. General
Streeter said, as they appeared in
court under authority of Mrs. Eddy's
deed. he asserted If the deed is valid,
Mrs. Eddy's property has all been
transferred to the trustees, and they
ask to be allowed to carry It on. III
Mrs. Eddy's competency is attacked
then that question must be decided
first, and IL the nominal comp p'ainant:
(Mrs. Eddy is not incapacitated, then
the "next friends" have no standing i'm

1t depends entirely with the court.
whether the "next friends suit shall
be allowed to proceed, and in decid--
ing the question the court should be-
guided by the best interests of the
person alleged to be incapacitated.-
General Streeter contended that the
persons bringing the suits as next
friends" do so at their own risk ana
much defend the property and neces-
sity for such action at any time called
upon, as they now are.
Mr.. Kelley. of the counsel for plain-
tiffs, said that General Streeter ha0
not challenged the good faith Of the
plaintiffs in any document filed by hrn-
General Streeter replied that he was
laying down general principle of law
applicable to this case.

HASTINGS WANTS
Low TAXATION
State Treasurer Tells the
Bankers About FalIacy
of Low Values

One of the addresses given before
the State Bankers association at Boise
yesterday was by C. A. Hastings state
treasurer, and among the many good
things of a very felicitous speech was
the following relative to the question
of just and equitable taxation, on
which subject Treasurer Hastings
said:
There is one more subject 1 would
like to touch upon and that is the
great question of taxation. The bank
er coming from the greatest mineral
county in the state tell us their coun-
ty produces "a per cent of all the lead
in the United States, which pay per
cent gross interest on $5O000O,O00 of
capital. Well they pay taxes on the
valuation of $S,000,000.
The adjoining county of Kootenai
so vast and grand and rich, pays on
her lands the magnificent sum of $2.33
per acre. Latah, Idaho and Nez Perce
counties, the richest farming sections
within the state, paid from $40 to $12
per acre on their best lands.
The banker from Fremont county, a
veritable empire within itself, will tell
you about the magnificent beet lands
Of his country worth from 500 to $125
per acre, but they pay taxes from Sc to
So per acre.
And Ada county, she has entertain
ed you Loyalty, as she always does her
guests, she has shown you great bank
ing institutions with a vast aggrega-
tion of deposits reaching into the mill
lions, but she has only $1,000 in money
and that belongs to a widow and Is
exempt She will show you lands that
while the average taxation in the
county is only $15.55 per acre, they
sell for $1,000 per acre.
Ada, don't you feel discouraged over
your short comings. other bankers will
tell you about their loans on cattle,
but for one do not know where their
cattle come from. They certNinly are
not an idaho product, for all the calves
and yearlngs in the state come from
Canyon county and she has only 1856
