COMPLAINT FROM
NORTHERN idaho

Grangeville Globe: 1t will no/
loubt be surprise to the people
throughout the state to learn that
the~ six northern counties of ldahP
are at the present time paying 4l
per cent OF the entire taxes of tie
state, the south SO per cent. THIS
fact was figured out at the receht
meeting of the assessors at Boise.
These figures show that each of the
northern counties pay approximate
ly Z per cent Of The total tax, while
he southern counties pay about 81
per cent each, an average of about
"ne-half as much to the county
The citizens of the north have been
FESTIVE for years under the diclat
torial manner of the southern secl
ton, and these figures will not tend
TO aIlay that feeling to any great ex-
tent when generally known. The
attempted removal of the agrl-
cultural college TO Southern ldahe
1t the last session of the legisla
ture, and the arrogant manner as
sumed and insulting language nsee
h connection with that attemp
still rankles in the minds of on
people. Instead Of making peace
able or friendly overtufes to ALA,
Il feeling, the nagglng, question
ing, doubling policy is pursued b!
the south end that has Opposite
endency. Still they insist tha
hey cannot spare us and will no
sive us up. Certainly not, s
.ong IS we bear our disproportior
tie burden of taxes and submit t
being dictated to. Once upon
time there was an unwise king
who, for the sake of the story
: we will name King George III
who, 1t is said, pursued a lik
policy Of taxation without ad
, quate representation with a pc
pie whom he ruled. To this /
Justice was added insult, maligl
IN mt and positive injury. II

Aame kingly tyrant lived to sore
tegret his lack of wisdom. VIII

LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE
LOCAL OPTION QUESTION

salient features of the Local Option
Law was prepared by one of Jh,
prominent attorneys of the city,
and gives some idea of the lega,
phases of the issues at stake. 1t
points out thatsthe. John Doe sec.
ton may be regarded as in conflict
with the state constitution, a sec
tion of which is quoted; it also calls
attention to the notorious section
30, which was dictated by the brew
cry interests and concerning whict
this paper has expressed vigorou'
opinion, Other features Of the Law

they cannot keep the rlpening

Montpelier, which many pre-
dicted would be about evenly
divided, recorded a vote of almost
two to one in favor of closing the
saloons, while in some precincts
the vote was over twenty-two to
one, indicating conclusively that
the people Of the county and also
the city, are most decidedly and
emphatically in favor Of abollshing
the saloon
The fact that Montpelier went
dry by SO large a majority has
silenced those persons who were SC
strenuous in their objection to
having the outside precincts con
troll the affairs of this town.
Only one precinct in the county
West Montpelier, gave a majority
against the closing of the saloons
the vote being 80 "Yes'' and 81
"No."
Following are the returns from
Is of the 20 precincts in the county

Mr.. Bourne also stated that the
main line track for some distance
both north and south of the depot
for some distance would be replaced
with ninety pound steel.
This activity at the depot is very
welcome news and it argues well
for the construction of new de-
pot in the not very distant future.
These improvements, the cl ub
house and prospective new depot
and freight house is evidence of the
rapid growth Of this section of Ida
no and those who have their AK out
to knock the inevitable growth OF
Montpelier will be relegated to the
tall and uncut, to make room for
the wide awake business man, who
sees the bright future for this faiI
valley of ours and the sooner thu
knocker is ostracised., the bette
it will be for all concerned.

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
....... Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is. shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

Frankfort, Ky,-Unless the stream
If convicts which is now flowing
into the penitentiary here ceases or is
checked it will be necessary for the
next Legislature to make an appropri,
ton for an additional dollhouse in
the prison, 1t will also be neces-
sary in a short time TO let out the
contract for some 200 more men to
labor at some sort of work.
ConyiCts are so thick in the prison
now that a great many of the cells
are being occupied by two convlcts,
and this arrangement is regarded as
unsatisfactory and unhealthy The
greatest difficulty, however, is the dis
posing of the men who are not en-
ployed. They cannot be kept in their
cells and must loaf all day. They ire
in the way and give the guards more
trouble than do the 1900 men who TT
at work. To-day there are 1,451 men
in the penitenHary, the largest num-
Der since there has been penlten-
tiary here. The number is steadily
increasing, and will not begin to fall
until June, if then.
The proposed transfer of some Of
the men to the branch pcnltentiary
a. Eddyville cannot be made, as the
contractors there have the same
trouble that is being experienced here
and it is probable that the only So
luton of the difficulty will be the
building Of a new cellhouse and
new factory.

SHOOTING APFRAY !
In COLU MBUS

Columbus, Miss, October 1S.-(Spe-
cial. Malcolm A. Franklin, member of
the state senate from this county,
brother of Thomas B. Franklin of this
city, shot three times at Allen B. Harri
son, brother of James T. Harrison and
the late Mrs. Gen. Stephen d. Lee, this
afternoon about 2 o'clock. All sin OTIS
went wild. They were arrested, taken
to the city hall and both placed under
be conducted in the morning at 8
o'clock.
The cause of the shooting seems to
have been the outcome of a 1ong-stand-
ing disagreement caused by some law
suit or some money transaction several
years ago. This, added to and inspired
by a letter Allen B. Harrison wrote in
which there are certain alleged sour
rilous statements about Mr.. Franklin,
caused the latter to accost the former
as he passed the Franklin store this
afternoon and the shooting soon fol-
lowed.
The prominence of the families of
both participants in the trouble has
caused many friends to intervene and
endeavor to restore a calm over the
troubled seas. There are many rumors
out concerning other facts in connec-
tion with the shooting, but until the
hearing IN the morning develops these
matters In open court 1t would be in
justice to try and bring them out. 1t
is regarded as a most unfortunate af-
fair for both families as well as the
whole town right at this time.
