COST OF LIVING
NOT INCREASED
Senator BOrah Declares Tariff
Schedule Increases Price
of LuxurieS Only.

Boise, Aug. Ex-senator Borah is
home from Washington to remain until
November. In an interview he was
asked: Us it your opinion that the
tariff bill as passed increased the liv-
ing expenses and the price Of the neces-
stiles of life?"
mo, I don't think that is true. In
fact, as the tariff bill schedule now
stands, the luxuries have been in
creased, so to speak, but the common
necessities of life have been lowered SO
that the consumer is benefited.
Il viii say frankly that / do not
think that the tariff was downward on
these necessities to the extent that il
should have been.
II believe, and VIII hold to the theory
tilat the present high rate OF living 81
the present high price Of the common
necessities is not due to the tariff SC
much as TO the unjust taxation which
we have in this country. So long as
the consumers, the people as a mass
have to pay the 100000, 900 taxation foI
the expenses of maintaining our pres
ent government while the large fnan-
cial interests where the finances are
centered as well as the mammoth cor
porations escape the taxation on their
wealth, just so long will the present
high price of living keep up.
4 believe that every effort should be
made to see that this capital is prop
erly taxed so that the tax will go To
pay the expenses Of our government

Under Secret Contract.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 1S.-Alleging the

stockholders of the American Mining
company were defrauded out of royalties
due them from the operations of George
H. Boggs, operating the company's prop
erty under a lease and bond, Ellen Klein
schmidt Albert Kleinschmidt and r. A.
KIeinscnmidt today brought suit in the
district court against r. II. Kleinschmidt,
general manager of the mining company,
and the American National bank.
The complaint alleges that the royalties
were to be paid into the American Ma
tional bank by BOggs, but that R H
Kleinschmidt had a secret contract with
Boges, under the terms of which he was
to be paid 5 per cent personally, above
the royalties stipulated in the lease and
bond. An accounting is asked for and an
injunction directed against the bank re-
straining it from paying further royalties
to the defendant, R H. Kleinschmidt.

lions to visit the coast cities, to study
economic and commercial conditions,
are pouring in upon the national none

OF BIG FRAUDS
Hearing at Seattle on Coal
Land Cases ArOuSeS Gov
eminent Interest.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Much interest
was manifested here today by interior de-
partment officials in reports from Den
yer, Colo. that a hearing in Seattle,
Wash, next month will disclose proof Of
gigantic frauds in connection with coal
lands in Alaska. They declined in the
absence Of Secretary Ballinger and Cen
eral Land Commissioner bennett, to dis
cuss the nature of the evidence.
It is learned that upwards of 200 en-
tries on coal lands in Alaska involving
about 112,000 acres containing valuable
veins, have been suspended by the de-
partment during the last three years. Es-
timating these entries to be worth
al least 500 per acre on basis of / cent
per ton, these coal lands would be worth
so. 600 600. Hearings will be held in other
cities in the west in addition to Seattle,
but just what ones was not disclosed.

The chief contest was over the head
Of the ticket, in which Mrs. Henry won
over Mrs Margaret A Stevens Of New
ark, \. J., by five votes, the former
receiving seyenty-eight votes to seventy
three for the latter. The fight over this
office was practically the East against
the West in which all states west Of
the Mississippi river stood sOlidly for the
Missouri woman. East OF that point the
vote was scattered, and the New England
states voted in a body for the New Jer-
sey women. The Southern and Middle
Western states were divided, and this so
closely that the final count promised a
tie. AS the tellers tailed the ballots. first
one woman was ahead and then the other,
until the Western Coast states were
counted, which placed the head Of the
national association in the hands Of Mrs.
Henry.
Upon the other offices, the same line
Of voting was noticeable. but not in such
a. marked degree. The Australian ballot
system of voting was used, and the con-
ventiOn made nominations from the floor
in the same manner as Old-time political
assemblies.
