PUBLICITY & TRANSPORTATION

| Publicity and transportation are
the two essential factors in the de-
yelopment of country, particularly
the northwest country.
Without either of these there is
20 prospect of development. Pub
licIty developed the great south
west, the Indian Territory and Ok
lahoma country causing the build
ing of cities Of thousands within a
few years. THIS was brought about
first by publicity then by the meth
DDS of transportation.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
have been appropriated by the great
railroad systems for new construc-
tion within the section embraced
by Washington, Montana and Ida
no. The railroad companies must
have publicity in order TO make
these roads pay dividends.
Chicago has been selected as the
headquarters for the publicity bur.
eau and the great dailies of thai
city are devotlng special editions on
the opportunity to be had IN Tho
west. Great land shows are to b,
held there and every inducemen
will be held out to prospective citi

which has been flowing into Canadi
will be adyerted and will be turned
toward the 'sirrigated states Th'
scenes of Oklahoma in the way o
development of cities will be repeat
ed on much larger scale. TIL

THE INDIAN WAR VETERANS

The National Indian War Veter
ans, an organization formed IN Den
yer, Colo, has for its object, to OBJ
tain pensions for all those who, while
serving the Government, contributed
their share to open for peaceful set
tlement this great Western country.
These men as a rule are old and
feeble, by reason of endured hard
ships and privations, unable to per-
form manual labor and on account
Of age barred from obtaining suit
able employment.
A Government, which through its
ltberality to its veterans of other
wars, to its educational institutions
and It's farmers, ranks as the very
first in the civilized world, should
surely not hesitate to give to this
limited number of surviving Indian
War Veterans, enough to allow them
at least living for their few re-
naming days.
These men spent some of the best
years of their lives in their country'f
service, opening up this great west
ern empire, fighting under such
noted leaders as Custer, Merritt,
Crook, Miles, Forsyth, Mckenzie
and others, and should in their lasi
days receive government recognl.
tion.
We request all those eligible t
membership in this organization tc
at once send in their application t
the National Secretary and Treas
urer, G. r. Hauser, Denver, Colo

ASKED FOR IT AND GOT IT

The other day a merchant in a
nearby town saw farmer reeeiy-
ing goods at the station from a
Chicago mail-order house, says an
exchange. Fhe goods were in his
line and the same had been carried
in his store for years. He ap-
preached the farmer and said:
II could have sold you every
article you have there for less mon-
ey than you paid the Chicago house,
and saved you the freight, besides
"Then why on earth didn't you
say so?" answered the farmer. 81

years, and have never seen a line
about your selling these goods.

tising matter, asking for my trade

JUDGE AnsHIE IS CRITICISED

Cottonwood Chronicles: Judge All
SHE bears the reputation among his
fellows of being an upright, honor
able man and a jurist of ability.
But we think that judge holding
such high position ought not to stoop
to discuss in public the merits or
demerits of public law, such as
local option, knowing that in the
future many questions arising under
that law will come up before him as
judge of the supreme court, upon
which he will have to pass judicial
ly. He advocates this law and
asserts that anyone convicted OF
'bootlegging' will be punished to
the full limit of the law. How could
any man expect justice from cour
that had already delivered his opin-
ion in advance of trial? Does b,
not thus disqualify himself from
passing upon such cases whel
brought before him on appeal o
review?

MONTPELIER

Safe Blown Open and
Considerable Booty
Secured.

The Montpelier post Office was
the scene of quite a sensational rob-
fbery Wednesday night or Thursday
morning, when the safe was blown
open aid quantity of stamps and
some money secured BY the robbers
A hole was drilled in the side Of
the safe and giant powder used TO
blow it open. The top hinge of
the safe door broke and the door
fell to the floor. IL is generally
believed that The thieves were pre-
fesslonals at the blsiuess.
The entrance to the Office was
made through the window on the
east and the exit through the back
door. AS to the time of the burg
larry or the number engaged in il
there is no information whatever
and at the present time the officers
have no clue.
In blowing open the safe the hole
was drilled below a steel compart-
ment of the upper portion Of the
safe in which Mr.. Winters keeps
most of the money and this was moi
damaged. The amount of money
secured was about $1,000, 1910

o. the original constitution surely
did not intend to run the govern
ment without money, once having
set it up; nor did they intend to
deny the right to tax the individual
according to his ability to pay.
In view Of these facts, the sixteen
tn amendment really appears to be
more of correction of an-oversight
than the creation of a new condi-
ton or principle Salt Lake Herald.

In infiicting his long promised
punishment upon the insurgents IN
his own party Speaker Cannon sim
ply carried out the policy of the
party boss. His action reflects not
nearly so much upon them as upon
him. His mind in a PARTISAN sense
is narrow and, therefore, that was
just the thing to do-whip the IN
subordinates and reward the abiectly
obedient. cannon will find, sooner
or later, that his policy does not
pay. II is bound to result in a
party disruption that of itself might
drive him from power; but the
greater menace is to the people OF
the country as whole, irrespective
of politics. Theirs are the Impor
tant interests to subserve and they
cannot be protected and fostered
ln the face of a.policy such as that
being carried out by the speaker oi
the house. The people expect tina
the Republican party will protec
their interests and if that cannot b
done with Mr.. Cannon in the speak
er's chair, the party owes it to itsel
and to the country to strip him Q
power.-Bo1se Statesman.

ASSESSMENT OF
IDAHO RAILROADS

BOISE, Ida, Aug. 15.-The state
b ,ard of equalization will establish
schedule for the assessment of
railway property slightly in excess
ofthe schedule last year, under which
SIS, 900 per mile for main line pro-
perty was the maximum rate. Mem
bers of the state board, after day
devoted almost exclusively to rail-
roads declined to be quoted as TO
their attitude, announcing that the
appraisement on this class of prop
erty would probably be finally set
tiled today.
At the morning session the tax
commissioners representing the var
ious railway companies were given
a hearing, instead of toda, as had
been previously announced, owing
to the desire of some of them to
leave Boise last night.
Taking the position that the rail
roads were willing to have the as
sessments of their property increas
ed proportionate to the increase IN
the valuation of the property return
ed by the various counties of the
state, Tax Commissioner WIlker-
son, representing the Great North
ern Railway company, made the
principal address for the railroad
men, contending, il on the otnel
hand, the board should find the rate
OF assessment on other classes ol
property had decreased the aPpraif'
ment OF the railroads should be de
creased. He was firmly of thu
opinion, he stated, that the rail
roads had in the past been paying
an equitable and just proportion o
the taxes in Idaho.
Other commissioners in attend
ance and who addressed the boar'
briefly were T. M. Sanders, ST
Paul, Northern Pacific Railway
company; ]. b. Evans, Salt Lake
Oregon Short Line Railroad com
, pany; w. G. Davidson, Spokane
Spokane & Inland Empire Railwa
!. company; Arthur J. Shaw, Spokane
Spokane International Railway con
pany; J. c. H. Reynolds, Idaho

: company.
Taking $15, 900 mile, the max
. mum rate provided for the schedul
last year, as basis for assessment
it was pointed out that the total va
. nation of the railways in the stat
a was $l9, ,058, 1884, while the assesse
y valuation of all property in the stat
was $ll5, $50. .05e, showing that fl
