motion prevailed, Senator Smith stat

resolution or bill of his go through the
senate without proper consideration.
When the resolution had been return

a substitute which stripped from the or

CORPORATIONS NAV be taxed on their in

adoption of this substitute was post

Under the provisions of the bill,

This bill is in line with the Texas
railroad law on this subject.
AS a substitute for the bill intro

Hodges. a member of the committee.
This bill makes it unlawful for any
railroad company to confscate any

delivered to it for transportation.
Any railroad company violating

each offense and in addition the Off
Ger, agent or other employe who shall

coTToNsEED "oLIvE OIL"
Difference Between It and the Genu-
inc Article Difficult to
Detect

If it weren't for the influence Of
a name and tradition Americans
would not send money abroad for
the cottonseed oil manufactured
at home But to please the Amer
lean imagination, says the Jack
sonville Times Union, it must 90

before they will use it in their
salads or for the other uses the al
legged olive oil is put to. If it were
bought at home, for one thing, it
would be too cheap. tits the price
of "oliae oil7 that makes it dear
to the epicure. No tariff laws
can shield us from the impositions
put upon us, for experts cannot
detect the difference between cot
tonseed oil and olive oil, it is as
serted. One is just as nutritious
and tastes as we'll as the other
when refined Both are bland
vegetable oils, free from any
harmful effect upon the system.
Cottonseed is we'll boiled before
the oil is expressed from it. The
oil is UNNECESSARILY superior to
hogs fat for culinary purposes.
It cannot but be wholesome, while
lard can only be wholesome if the
hog was free from disease when
killed and no one can know that
when purchasing lard. When cot
t0nsaed oil is transformed into
butter it makes a product superior
to most substitutes for cows but
ter. Nevertheless great quanti-
ties of the southern product will
continue to be sent abroad, and
Americans will continue to pay
the expense of transportation
both ways and a good-sized profit
to the foreign handler in order
that he may be fooled. He likes to
be fooled. Even when he knows
that it is impossible to manufac
ture from pure olives all the olive
oil sold he will not take the hint
He doesn't want to. He is above
the weakness of a patriotic desire
to patronize home products. He
wants the brand never mind what
the stuff is.

Do Justice to Law Makers.

The fippant tone Of some news
papers in referring to congress and
to state legislatures is not credltable
to editorial judgment. In cur
rent state exchange these two para
graphs are noticed:
Next comes the legislature to
misrepresent the willof the people,"
Congress has settled down to its
annual stunt Of doing nothing at
$4,000 per congressman"
There have been times when le-
gislatures and congress, in specific
cases, have failed to carry out the
will Of the people, and atsuch times
it is proper to criticise and csnsure.
But to sneer at the entire body Of
lawmakers, to imply deliberate
intention to ignore the popular
voice, to intimate that the annual
or biennial sessions at the national
or state capitals are waste Of time
and money is to display a regret
able lack OF appreciation of much
good legislation that is enacted.
If the men who are sent to Wash
ington, to Boise and to the capitals
of the other states do nothing but
"misrepresent the will Of the peo-
pie" il is the people who are blam-
able for sending them there. In
the election campaigns the people
have ample time to judge Of the
merits of those who are candidates
for congress or legislature, and un-
worthy men should not be elected.
It is, Of course, possible for mista kes
to be made by the people, and for
men, under peculiar influences at
the capital, to show an altogether
!
different side to their character from
that which they presented at home.
But it is not good thing for the
country to become impressed with
the idea that this transformation is
inevitable.
Much better will it be to convince
the lawmakers that they are looked
upon, not with suspicion, but with
confidence. The average man, hav-
ing respect for himself and an ex-
pectation of future favors at the
hands of the voters, will strive to
justify that confidence. There will
be honest differences of opinion as
to the merits OF various PROPOSE

United States who will tell the
truth, who will not malign the
fair name Of the Gem state, and
who by his words and deeds will
endeavor to erase the blemish
placed on the name of Idaho by
Fred t. Dubois. In his speech of
acceptance before a Joint session
Of the Idaho legislature at Boise
yesterday, after being elected
United States senator over Fred
T. Dubois by a vote of 50 to is,
Mr. Borah said:
"Idaho has been slandered and
maligned from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Her name has been
handed about as one OF the rot
ten boroughs, a place where re-
preventative governments dying
out; place where the flag is spit
upon with impunity, where law
yields to bigotry, where shame
and crime are rampant, but in
the fullness of time our sister
states shall know thetruth-that
we have here in this interInoun-
tain country, and within our
own state, as high a standard Of
citizenship as they have any
where else in the union, and we
are building, and propose to con-
tinue to build, to that high
standard.
This state was not built, it's
mountains explored, its rivers
spanned and its deserts reclaimed
by the weakling either in man
hood or patriotism, but by the
same class OF hardy yeomanry
whose restless energies, indomit-
able courage and love Of law are
evidenced by the marvellous
growth of all the northwestern
states.
There is no state in the union
save one where there is less litter
acy; no state where the average
OF crime is so small; no state
where the courts have been freer
from the breath ofscandal, where
there has heen less of corruption
in public life; no state where men
have been drawer or more fearless
in trying public duties than here
in Idaho"
Mr.. Borah further said: II
