THEY ARE BRUTES.

These who mistreat dumb animals
in any way are brutes, and we use
the term in its most contemplate
sense. The fellow who drives toe
hard is just as much of brute as the
fellow who is too stingy and to cussed
to give his horse enough to eat. And
no less OF brute is the fellow who
fails to give his horses plenty OF good
water. 1t makes no difference what
form of mistreatment it is there is no
excuse for it and the man who is guilty
ought to be punished. Probably the
common abuse Of horses is overlooking
of them. And when taxed beyond
Their power the driver gets down and
administers a severe beating with a
club. We once knew farmer who.
because one OF his hcrses baked, took
a neck yoke and with a powerful blow
across the nose, knocked the animal
down. The blow crushed in the poor
beasts nose, and resulted in doing
nothing towards making the horse pull.
The horse was made balky by some
fool OF a man in the first place, and de-
serves sympathy rather than abuse, and
in the second place abuse never will
or never did make balky horse pull,
and therefore is a waste of time. So it
is not only senseless, but brutal to beat
and abuse such horses. The News would
urge men to be more considerate regard
ing these things, and in the place of
abuse and cruelty use just little com
mon sense. If that won't work there is
no use wasting your muscle and working
yourself into rage. Don't be brute.

GRAND OLD FRAUDS.

What in the world happened to that
Equal Taxation League" started
about year ago by one Williams Jen-
ninQs Mcconnell Conditions have not
changed one bit and if there was a
reason for the organization Of such a
movement year ago there is reason
now for the maintenance Of such an
organization. The point the News
makes is this: The promoters OF the
Equal Taxation League were never
honest in their efforts. These self
styled reformers never did care one
cent whether taxes were or were not
equal. They never organized their
movement with any idea OF bringing
about real tax reform. They never
did give a whoop for the dear
people," Mcconnell paid no taxes,
and while Windy Bill Leasure was a
rich man, and was loaning our thous-
ands OF dollars in Latah county he paid
nothing towards the maintenance OF the
county. He was the most conspicu-
Gus specimen of all the tax-dodgers the
county had. Yet these men organized
the equal taxation league, and fairly
raved over the way the people were tax
ed. They demanded change and to
be sure that the dear people" got the
desired change consented to let
themselves be elected or appointed to
fat Office. The point we desire to
make is that these fellows were not
honest in their pretensions. They
never were sincere. And now that
their motives are apparent the people
ought to place them where they belong.
These fellows are rank frauds, mere
pretenders, and if they bob up in the
future, as they surely will, deserve to
be knocked into oblivion with a
thud.

EQUAL TAXATION.

Everybody favors equal taxation ex-
cept the corporation or individual that
is not fairly taxed. And the politicians
and the political parties, just as the re-
publican party did last fall, will come
out and declare-in their platforms
in favor of equal taxation" But
that is just as far as the matter ever
goes. Here in Idaho we have the
rottenist condition to be found in any
state in the union, with the farmer pay
ing great deal more than his share.
and the millionaire mine owners paving
whole lot less than fair share, with
the railroads about on a par with the
mine owners, and the telephone and
telegraph companies possibly a lap
ahead of the whole bunch Of tax dodg-
ers. Yet what is being done7 Moth
ing. The Legislature meets and spends
the time passing Sunday rest laws and
other laws that nobody wants, or in
lighting over the proper division of the
party patronage, or the election of a
United States senator, OF bounty on
pole cats, or something else, but SHES
every time the question of a just tax
law is brought up. In the mean time
the people go on paying an unjust tax
and are expected to smile and saw
nothing.

PERMANENT LOCATION.

One of these days the people OF
Latah county will be called upon to
settle forever the permanent location
OF their county seat. This time will come
when the time for building a new court
house arrives, and then the question
of location will need to be settled right.
The court house belongs to the taxpay-
ers of the county, and the location
should be settled with the sole veiw of
accommodating the greatest number.
No one will pretend that Moscow is
such point, for it is the edge of big
county, and by no means can ever be
moved any nearer the center of popu-
lation. In fact as the county grows
Moscow will be farther and farther re-
moved from the center of population,
and will each year be farther removed
from the great majority of the taxpay-
ers of the county. So far the people
have put up with the present location
simply because there was no relief, but
with the rapid development Of the
county, and the almost magic increase
OF population, with the building Of new
towns throughout the eastern half OF
the county, there is coming about a
changed condition. People will some
day refuse to travel fifteen OF twenty
miles out of their way just to keep up
the price of Moscow town lots, and
with the required number OF votes will
demand change and get it. The
taxpayers will never in thousand years
be satisfied to locate the county court
house permanently on the western
border line of a county as large as
Latah.

If the railroads of the United States
cannot run at a profit without robbing
most of the people while favoring the
wealthy few, and without giving dis
eliminating rates to one city over
another, it is time to put them out of
business altogether. The people are
not demanding that the railroads be
be treated unfairly, nor trying to pre-
vent their stockholders from making a
reasonable profit, but do insist that
these corporations make no more. If
there is now trouble for the transporta-
ton companies it is due entirely to
their own greed and lawlessness.

Of their eastern neighbors with storms

fastener. Let US be satisfied and
thankful that we live in the best coun-

GOOD HORSE SENSE.

The News prints below an article
from the Nez Perez Herald which is
so good that it ought to be read by
every farmer in Latah county. The
logic contained will apply to Troy as
strongly as it does to Nez Perez, OF any
other town. Here it is:
We brief the following from Farm
Machinery upon the mail order prop
osition. 1t is the expression of a
sensible old farmer who says: I would
MT buy of mail order house if could
get the goods at half price, for feel
they are doing the farmers more harm
than any one thing l know Of, be-
cause they are running out the small
dealers, and the small dealers are the
men who make a small town, and
small, prosperous towns are one
of the things which makes our farms
valuable. Take it right here at Nez
Perez. The farms nearest town are
worth considerable more than those
several miles out, and the farther you
get from town the less the land brings
farms farther out may be more
productive, so you see the advantage
OF living near good town. You can
buy anything you need in any quantity
you desire at any time, at reasonable
pride. It's a great advantage to live
near a good town, where stocks of mer-
chandise and farm implements and
many things you need quickly are for
sale. You may sometimes buy some
articles at a saving from a mail order
house; but in the long run you pay as
much as you would of a local dealer.
believe in the principle of live and
let live. 1 believe in trading with
your own people and keeping the
money at home. That's what makes
towns grow and farms valuable. To
my mind the mail order business is
all one sided-you buy without seeing
and you send your money out of your
country. What would we do without
the near by town where we have the
advantage of good schools and church
es and are enabled TO give our boys
and girls good education at a small ex-
dense. l have made up my mind
that it is the duty of every farmer to
patronize his own town, deal with the
people he knows. keep the money at
home, help build up the home town
and thereby help provide opportun-
tiles for some of your children to do
else. Leave the mail order
houses alone. for they are a bad lot.
Drop your mail order ideas and buy
your goods and your machinery of a
man you know. Buying of a mail
order house is just like buying patent
medicine OF faker who plays the fd-
die and sings songs, and says he is the
only honest man in the business"
