Though she was a brave girl with a

THE STATE TAX LEVY
To Raise $6oo,o 1000 This Year for
Running Expenses.

The funds derived from the gross
tax levy for state purposes this year
will aggregate 5000, 900, an increase
OF an even 100000 over 1908, ac-
cording to a statement prepared by
State Auditor S. D. Taylor last week.
While the revenue is greater, the rate
Is practically the same as for the pre-
ceding year or .0O50976l4 on the
dollar. The increase is derived from
the added valuation Of taxable pro-
perty. The gross tax levy is for the
purpose Of defraying the general ex-
penses OF the state aud is always
computed ON the assessment for the
previous year. In other words, the
rate for the year 1909 Is based on
returns for 1908. The special levies
which are not made until August,
are calculated upon returns made To
the state board OF equalization at
that time.
The gross levy will be apportioned
to the various counties. The table
shows that the largest increase Is for
kootenai county, which must pay
$42. 1892 this year as compared with
only 2l,646.2l last year. The
smallest Increase Is for Owyhee coun-
ty which must pay for this year only
$32 more than last year. Only one
county has to pay less--Lemhi, which
paid 81, 1O2.99 for 1908, and must nay

When Senator Lodge addressed the
Senate, this week, on the schedule
relating to cotton manufactures. he
made one Of the most notable con.
tributions to the tariff debates OF this
Congress. Among other things, Sen.
ator Lodge asserted that the work Of
the hnance committee has been mis-.
represented aud stated that $40
reductions from the Dingley law were
made by the committees bill, and
only 33 increases, practically all the
increases being on luxuries and 'agri.
cultural products; and he called
attention to the fact that many re-
ductions had been made since the bill
was reported to the senate, mention.
ing as an example, those made this
week On salt. In referring TO Senator
Delivers charge that certain amend.
ments had been suggested by cotton
manufacturers, Mr.. Lodge said he
thought 1t quite rs proper to take in.
to consideration the recommendation
of the American business men as to
follow the wishes Of the importers
who desired to break down the prt,.
tective system. As to the charge
that the cotton manufacturers are
making exhOrbitant profits, Mr..
Lodge pointed out that the net in
crease in wages in the cotton mills
was % l-2 per cent since the enact.
ment Of the Dingley law, and he also
called attention to the fact that
tLere is no trust CT combination in
the cotton manufacturing business 10
this country, that on the contrary
there Is a very sharp competition.
From the official statistics OF Mass
achusetts Mr.. Lodge read figures
showing that In the last ten years
thirty-tw0 of the Fall River mills had
made an average annual profit Of six
per cent; and in the same period ten
New Bedford mills had made an
average annual profit OF l0.45 per
cent. These profits were declared
not exhorbitant nor even large 10

VIOLATED MANY LAWS|
Long List Of Grievances
Against Sugar Trust.
LODGE EXPLAINS THE TARIFF
And Defends the Cotton Manu-
facturers of America.

Washington, d. G. June If the
sugar trust should suffer in the cur
rent tariff revision it will have no
one but itself to blame. Its whole
course has been such as to arouse the
antagonism of law-abiding citizens.
It's latest feat is a violation of the
interstate commerce law prohibiting
determinations by drawbacks and re-
bates, and as result of this defiance
Of the law, the interstate commerce
commission. after thorough investi.
cation, has adJudged the American
Sugar Refining company guilty of a
rebater to the extent of 1896, 900.
This is but one of many violations Of
law which this trust has been guilty,
and it was only the other day that
its violations of the customs laws of
the United States, by which the
government was robbed OF duties to
the extent Of millions of dollars, were
unearthed by Collector Loeb Of the
New York customs house. 1t nas to
its credit, also, the violation Of the
Sherman antitrust law, condemning
conspiracies In restraint OF trade,
where by abusing the power given it
by the tariff law it closed the Penn
sYlvania Sugar Refining company of
Philadelphia as we'll as other reflner
les, and 1t is further driving out of
business the beet and cane sugar
farmers by It's abuse of the monopoly
power. In spite of all this abuse of
power and violation of law this huge
trust is today before Congress seeking
more pOWer-and the odd part Of 1t
all is that IL will in all probability
get it.
The army war college is responsible e
for many innovations in the conduct
