FROST'S EFFECT ON FRUIT.

Because the fruit trees were hit
hard by the recent frost in some sec
tons does not warrant a pessimis-
tic view of the whole fruit situation.
The estimates of damage in certain
localities are regrettably high, but
in other places the reports are hope
full, and there seems to be really no
good reason to anticipate a general
crop failure. So long as there is I'M
certainty let comfort be taken in
looking at the brightest side. 1t may
be the right view, after all
j. H. Fields, a Snake river or
chardist, is quoted as saying. after
an inspection of half dozen large
orchards, that the damage to the
peach crop is so to 60 per cent; to
the cherry crop, Is per cent; to nee
tarines, 100 per cent; to apricots
100 per cent; to peach plums, so per
cent; to pears, 40 per cent The es-
innate on nectarines and apricots in
dicates that these fruits are totally
ruined If all of the figures prove
to be correct it will certainly mean
a heavy loss to fruit growers in the
vicinity of lila along the Snake
river.
But there are other localities which
have not been so seriously affected.
L. L. Haynes and W. NJ. Goldwaite
arrived in Spokane Thursday from
Lewiston and they say that although
there was severe frost Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday nights the fruit has
not been as badly damaged as was re-
ported. Mr. Haynes estimates that
the crop in his orchard has been re-
duced about 25 per cent. Peaches,
he says. are damaged only slightly
and pears escaped without injury.
j. B. Holt, county fruit inspector
of Whitman county. reports that in
the Palouse district the damage.
seems to run in streaks. One mans
loss is believed to be so per cent.
while another not far away was
scarcely affected. From Walla Walla
a report comes that the damage in
that and adjacent districts is not
nearly so great as was at first re-
ported. while in some instances the

majority of the orchards the trees
were so heavily laden with blossoms

MIR. ROOSEVELT AND MIR. TAFT.

Some of Secretary Taft's Ohio
friends are reported from Washing
ton to fear that he may be only a
stalking horse behind which Mr..
Roosevelt will be brought forward
for third term.
These gentlemen are said to desire
and even to demand that some an
nouncement be made from the White
House that will put Mr.. Roosevelt
absolutely" on record for Mr. Taft
and absolutely" eliminate Mr..
Roosevelt from another term
This suggestion is neither timely
or proper. Mr.. Taft's Ohio friends
have no reason or right to impugn
for moment the presidents good
faith in the matter of third term
or his friendship for the secretary of
war.
1t is hard to see how the president
could go further in his efforts to pro-
mote the nomination of Mr.. Taft. He
is plainly doing all that it is possible
for him to do, and is doing it sim
cerely.
With respect to his own resolution
to retire, every utterance of the
president, with his own voice and
pen and through spokesman of rec
ognized authority, has been of the
same unvarying tenor. His every
word on the subject has been to the
plain effect that under no circum-
stances would he seek or accept an
other nomination.
The character of Theodore Roose-
welt is the guarantee of his good
faith in all this. He is the last man
in public life to make a pledge with
reservations behind it.
The suspicious which Mr. Taft's
Ohio supporters express are un-
worthy and Chicago

MORTGAGE TAXATION.

Beginning today, real estate mort
cages in Minnesota are taxable, at
the rate of so cents ON each $1,000
of the loan. For years, from before
an element of the people has been
clamoring for the taxation of the
gold of the money lender, particular
ly of the eastern capitalist, upon
whom it has been possible to lay no
tax. 1t has been plausible argu-
ment that the goods and the earn
ings of the poor should not alone
be made to bear the burdens of the
government, while the coupon-clip
per has been scathless. Henceforth,
we have the tax on mortgages, and
those who demanded it will have a
chance to say how they like it.
The tax is paid when the mortgage
is recorded, and if any one believes
the lender will be that much poorer,
he deserves pity for his simplicity.
But there will be no more annoyance
for the mortgage from the assessor,
for the law explicitly provides that
the old-fashioned listing of his mort
gage for ordinary taxation shall
cease.
1t will not be much of a hardship
for the borrower, for the little item
of so cents will be added. to the first
years $50 interest he pays on $1,000.
with the agents commission and
other expenses. Those who have
shouted for the taxation of mort
cages ought to be satisfied.
1t is not always easy to tell who
will ultimately pay new tax, and
possibly the legislature did not strain
it's mental powers with the problem
in this case. Even after the tax has
gone into effect, those who pay it
may not know it, and it may be so,
in this case, to a great extent. Glib
bOns tells us how one of the Roman
emperors acquired great popularity
by decreeing that the tax on sales of
slaves should be paid by the seller,
instead of the buyer, as the previous
rule had been. The state got the
money, without complainings, the
sellers took care that they lost moth
ing and the buyers loudly praised the
beneficent monarch who had re-
lieved them of an odious impost, so
they thought.-St. Paul Dispatch.

There is a great amount Of interest being manifested in the question of salaries paid to government of1lclals. Every fair-minded thoughtful man must admit that salaries paid to Con- gressmen and Senators are too small. We pay 5000 per annum to them, which is not as much as a capable man can make outside, and besides it subjects them to a great temptation to accept annual retainers from rail- roads, trusts and the like, to look out for their interests when they are in volved. England, France and Ger many have nothing like the corrup- tion in the government that we have, simply because they pay them enough to be honest. Most men prefer to be honest, but We must not put too great a temptation before them. If Con- gressmen were paid $10,o00 per an- mum these officials would serve us much better and corruption would be reduced to a minimum.
