About Taxes.

TIE index is informed by Asses
sor Moore that an error was made
in an article in last weeks issuse
concerning the increase of taxes.
The statement was made that the
assessment on Emmett property was
raised BY the assessor. This was
not the case. The assessor increas-
ed the valuation in a number Of
cases where he thought they were
too low in comparison with other
property and lowered others in

rease was made by the state board

tended. Three hundred requests for
these lite ones-for any homeless

GIVE FINANCIAL RELIEF
Government Comes to Aid
of the Country.

Secretary Cortelyou Monday
night made the important an
nouncement that as means ol
affording relief to the financial sit
uation the treasury would issue
$50, 900. GOO of Panama bonds and
800, 600. GOO certificates of indebt-
edness. or so much thereof as may
be necessary. The certificates will
run for one year and viii bear 8 pet
cent interest. The secretary's ac-
tion in coming to the relief of the
financial situation meets with Pres
ident Roosevelt's hearty approval,
and the plan is the outcome of sew
eral White House conferences
which have been held within the
past few DAYS when the financial sit
uation was under consideration.
Secretary Cortelyou says that the
Panama bonds will afford substan-
tial relief, as the law provides that
thev NAV be used as basis for ad :
ditional national bank circulation.
He also states that proceeds from
the sale of certificates can be made
directly available at points where
the need is most urgent, and espe-
cially for the movement of crops,
which he SAYS, eff properly accel-
Grated will give the greatest relief
and result in the most immediate
results.
The secretary calls attention to
the attractiveness of the bonds and
certificates as absolutely safe invest
ments Secretary Cortelyou adds
that these relief measures enable
him to meet public expenditures
without withdrawing for that pur-
pose any appreciable amount Of
public money now deposited in ma
tional banks throughout the
Two treasury circulars,
one inviting proposals for the issue
of the bonds and the other asking
for the certificates will be sent out
under date of November IL.
In his letter to Secretary, Cortel-
you approving the treasury plans.
President Roosevelt states that he
has been assured that the leaders in
conrgess have under consideration
a currency measure, (which will
meet in a permanent fashion the
need of the situation and which |
believe will be passed at an early
date after congress convenes two
weeks hence
The president also calls attention
to what is needed most at this time
is that the people should realize
how fundamentally sound bust
ness conditions in this country are
and how absurd it is to permit
themselves to get into a panic and
create a stringency by boarding
their savings instead OF trusting

About Stoves.

Winter will be here in a little
while and it is time to be preparing
for it. We have received nearly
three carloads of stoves kind
from the largest range to the small
sheet iron hoa blast. They are good
ones, too-the kind that our long
experience in the business has con-
vinced US to be the best made.
We bought them for the people
who will need stoves and we don't
want to keep them. So we have
made the prices low. Call and see
our fine display and learn how little
they cost considering their splendid
quality. Hawkins, Hardware.

Making Peaceful Settlement.


The Scandinavians not only have
set the world a good example in set
Ting their differences peacefully. but
have given life to the general cause
of arbitration. One article of the
treaty for the separation of Norway
and Sweden provides for the submis-
sion of future disputes to the Hague
court. There Is the usual reservation
of matters affecting ''the independ-
ence, integrity or vital interests of
either" but another clause sets forth
that the question whether any contro-
versy does affect vital interests"
shall itself be left to arbitration
This is a far-sighted and humane
plan of making international dead
locks over trifles far less likely-New

THE CONSTITUTION
Oar Fundamental Law Not n FIXED
and ImmutaEIe Instrument.

From the Chicago L.lroniclc.
The most discouraging circumstance
with respect to the discussion Of constitu-
tional questions IN this country is the
evident ignorance Of good many states
men as TO the status of the Federal Con-
sutution
u is assumed by men who ought 10
know better that the Constitution is fixed
and immovablo-an incubus fastened
upon the nation by a coteTie Of i'm
practicables and thus strangling our
rights and liberties TO death. 1t does
not seem to occur TO these men that
the Constitution not only can be amended
but has been amended, and that the pro-
cedure for its amendment is perfectly
ready and practicable.
All the outcry against government by
the judiciary is childish. because If the
American people desire TO give law TO the
courts instead Of taking law from them
the amendment OF the Constitution will
accomplish the desired end and right
speedily. To exclaim against an alleged
evil when the remedy lies. neglected,
ready a hand is unwisdom and inte!lec-
tual strablsmus.
The Federal Constitution. 50 far from
being Of the nature of the laws of the
Modes and Persians. Is a fluid and fiexi-
BILE instrument susceptible TO infinite
change or absolute abolition. The Con-
sitution of to-day is the supreme stand
ard OF to-day and the Constitution of
Tomorrow though il may be vitality
changed. will be the supreme standard
Of tomorrow.

- Control of Cornorntions.

There occurs in the Presidents recent
message on land legislation this succinct
and important statement OF the RoOse-
vcltian corporation policy:
I cannot toa onphaticaIly say that all laws which
merely SEX 70 prevent monopoly the mishsudling
Of the public by sog5idding combination certain
% fail Of their purposes Ar experience with the
interstate commerce and antitrust laws shows that
what is NEEDED is not prohibition q all c-mhina
tions but such supervision and control over Corr
binatous and over corporations entering into them
as will prevent the evils while giving 20 the public
Che advantages Of combination.
In these two sentences the President
recognizes the ineyitableEess Of capital
istic combinations and their economic ad-
vantage. as well as the necessity OF ex-
ercising some measure Of governmental
control over them in the public interest
This attitude is quite different from that
Of the political 'trUst-buster," who would
smash ali combinations of capital on gen
eral principles The President, In fact,
voices the change which Is coming over
public opinion respecting what are popu-
larry known as trusts. Nothing was more
common "A few years ago than the demand
for the total destruction of trusts and all
forms. of monopoly. Drastic antitrust
laws were proposed, and some of them
were enacted into law. Experience has
shown, as the President notes, that these
laws fail of their purpose, and that the
tendency toward combination Of capital
and cooperative industrial enterprises
cannot be stayed, but ought to be con-
trolled. so that the people may reap the
full benefit of II. II has been seen that
constructive. not destructive, legislation
is demanded. and that the government
should join hands with the forces of eco
uomic progress and direct them into chan
nels OF greater public usefulness. With
this view. which is that of the best eco
nomie thought Of the day. the President
has aligned himself.
The Sherman antitrust law declares
Illegal every contract or combination. or
conspiracy IN restraint OF trade, yet at
common law Il has frequently been held
that restraints on competition and pro-
duction are valid, provided they be for the
necessary protection OF the parties in
tescsts," the real test Of invalldity being
whether the contract OF agreement was
injurious 10 the public and, so, contrary
to public policy; and 1t is conceivable
that agreements among producers look
ing to the restraint of ruinous competition
to the maintenance Of stable and equitable
prices. and to economy OF distribution
where they do not enhance prices or pre-
vent the investment OF capital in new
enterprises of Ike nature. would be far
from creating monopoly or injuring
the public interests. Even monopoly
when restrained by law, is recognized in
certain cases as advantageous to the peo-
pie as in the telephone service, where
governmental control is able to accom-

We doubt not that it did: and herein
lies the whole secret of this strange and
unhappy world. Why should a man

such an enterprise? The man who would
essay to check the rush Of Niagara's cat

would get no sympathy The task under

when femininity is smarting under a sense
of indignity produced by a realization of
the age-long tyranny of the stern sex.
Old things must pass away and give
place 10 new. The world has been gov
