Matters of more than usual i'm
pOrtance will go before the assessors
this year for discussion in view OF the
great number of changes made by the
state board of equalization at its
meeting last year in August. The
proper method of assessing migrat-
DRY stock, particularly of sheep, con-
corning which there was SO much
dissatisfaction last year, will doubt
less be one of. the important matters
for discussion.
The letter of the state auditor is
as follows:

fourth subdivision of section 1885,
pages 441-442, Political Code of Ida
no, 1901, which is as follows: The

IN COLLISION
Motor Car Crashes Into An O. R.

ternoon between Traction company

coal cars pulled by o. r. q N. switch
engine No. % at the Washington
street crossing OF the o. n. q N.

loaded coal car next to the locomo-

smashed and its forward truck was
knocked from under It. The force
Of the moving train turned the troll
ley car completely around and threw
II OF the streetcar track. The pas
sengers were given a severe Jolt and
we're greatly frightened, but no one
was hurt.
The accident was caused by the
failure OF the conductor to give the
motorman warning of the approach
of the switch engine. At the rail-
road crossing It Is the rule for the
conductor to stop his car and run
ahead across the tracks TO insure
safe crossing. The conductor failed
to notice the switch engine which
was making for the crossing and sig
nailed for the motorman to proceed
Immediately after making the sig
nal the conductor discovered the
,rain and attempted to stop the car.
The efforts of the o. r. & N. hagman
at the crossing, the conductor and J.
Neil, the yard foreman. to warn the
motorman were unavailing. The fact
that the car was being run at a slow
speed alone accounts for the escape
of the passengers from death or SER
ious injury.
Trafic was impeded but a few
minutes. the damaged car being re-
moved Immediately from the track
The gates which have been used at
the railroad crossing were disman-
tied a short time ago by being struck
by a streetcar and have no, yet been
repaired.

Is Appointed to Land Office Posi-
ton.
In the distribution of information
that belongs to the public, the Scimi-
tar has a right to comment on the
appointment of Frank c. Bramwell
to the position of receiver at the Fed
eral land Office at La Grande, in the
neighboring State of Oregon. The
appointee is a Mormon and is the
son of Frank S. Bramwell, a. leader
and man of prominence in the coun-
ellis of the church of the Latter Day
Saints.
The bestowal of a valuable govern
mental position upon the representa-
tive of the Mormon organization is
recognition of the political services
of the church. Mr.. Bramwell is re-
ceiving a salary of $4,000 a year and
one-tenth of his compensation is paid
annually into the treasury of the
Mormon church.
Law. custom and public sentiment
prescribe that no assessment shall be
made upon Federal officer In support
of political party and, under the i'm
proved conscience of the Nation, the
requirement is violated at the peril
of the vialator.
But in the cause of the Mormon
church. law custom and the opera
ton of public sentiment are suspend
ed and assessments are freely per-
mitted. Authority for this departure
from the inflexible rule that is
applied TO the Gentle is found in the
Mormon book of Doctrine and Co
venants." in revelation number 119
divulged by the Lord, through
Joseph Smith:
Verify, Saith the Lord, | require
all their surplus property to be put

church of Zion,
And this shall be the beginning of
the tithing of my people;
And after that. those who have
thus been tithed shall pay one-tenth
of all their interest annually; and
this shall be a standing law unto
them forever. for my holy priesthood.
saith the Lord.
In compliance with this command.
one-tenth of the salary of the receiver
of the La Grande land office will be

the Mormon church to be used (if
deemed advisable) to clear the way
