House Passes Bill.

House Bill AZ, by Representatives
Jones and Hawley, of Polk county,
increasing the salary of the County
School Superintendent, was passed
in the House of Representatives
over the governors veto Monday with
only four dissenting votes. In return
ing H. B. AZ, increasing the salary Of
the Polk County School Superintend-
ent from $1,000 to $1,000, the governor
declared it to be against sound public
policy to increase the salaries of Off
cials during their incumbency. He
said the increase was small 10 this in
stance and doubtless we'll deserved,
and if it were the only bill of the kind
offered for his consideration, he would
sign it. He believed that law should
be made vesting the power of increas-
ing the salaries Of county officers in
the county courts. The result on con-
sidering the bill was due largely to
the speeches Of Speaker Macarthur
and other representatives in its favor.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

The Parma Herald in it's last issue
takes The Tribune to task for pub
fishing the story of a recent happen
ing in the Parma schools. The Trib-
une does not care to enter upon a
discussion of the merits or dismerits
of publishing such stories, OF whether
or not such publication partakes of
sensationalism and yellow journalism.
The important matter is the question
of corporal punishment in the public
schools. AS the Herald says the trus-
tees of the Parma schools may be es-
Unable gentlemen. They may stand
high morally, socially and financially.
Those of them whom we know certain
ly are men of that character; but the
higher the pedestal upon which they
are placed, the more subject they are
to criticism for permitting teachers
to inflict corporal punishment in the
maintenance of discipline or anything
else. We note that the Herald wisely
refrains from justification of corporal
punishment or the trustees in permit
ting it. All intelligent persons do,
We have yet to find man or woman
but who will admit that punishment
in the schools is demoralizing to
teacher and public alike. School
teachers privately admit it, but in
evitably demand the privilege. That
is the thing we do not understand.
Teachers will tell you how it hurts
them: how they hate to use it, and
finally admit that it does no good;
and yet cannot abide its adjustment.

terest the tenant could afford to pay
as rent in the long term extinguished
the debt and left it in the tenants
hands.
National credit at low rate did
the work.
No credit is better and there is no
rate at which money can be borrowed
lower than that of the United States.
1t can borrow at 2 per cent, certain
Iy at per cent. A mere issue of
bonds for irrigation would be spent
and call for still more. On the Irish
plan, in which the nation gives its
cheap credit at 2 or per cent. in
bonds, the rents on the land at 31a
or A per cent. basis extinguish
these bonds in thirty years, the debt
will be paid by the income Of the
asset it creates and the land left
to tho farmer.
This has worked in Ireland. 1t will
work both by irrigation of dry lands
West and the drainage of swamp
lands East. West there are hundreds
of millions of acres needing irriga.
ton. East there are tens of mil.
lions of acres needing drainage.
Both can be reclaimed without add
ing to national burdens, if nationa

paid off by long rentals on the lands

FISHING AT THE DAM.
AN staff Correspondent.l

(By OIdII COTT6SpOuu0uI.J
Nampa, Oct. 6.-John r. Bailey,
superintendent at the government dam
of the Deer Flat reservoir was in
Nampa today to get the shipment Of
black bass sent by the department of
fish and fisheries of the national gov
eminent that are to be planted in the
big pond of the Deer Flat reservoir.
There were two cars of the fish, esti-
mated to be about a thousand. They
we're direct from the Mississippi river
and had come through in splendid
shape There were only few dead
one is the whole lot.
Mr. Bailey, who is in charge of af-
fairs at the reservoir as government
agent in the reclamation department,
will have charge of the protection of
the fish until there will be sufficient
quantity to permit them to be taken
by fishermen. There are at present
an apparently unlimited number of
fish in the pond at the dam, that came
in through the canal this season
Owing to the short time that the water
ran into the reservoir it is astonishing
that such very large number should
have come in. They are all what Mr.
Bailey calls silver or rock bass. They
run in schools and thousands can be
seen at time. They make the water
black with fish when a school hap.
pens to come along.
1t is Mr.. Badley's intention to make
fishing resort at the dam and tt
that end. he will watch the young new
fish carefully and see to it that none
of them are taken. He says he is
glad to see the people take the fish
that have come there this year, fol
though they are bass they are not the
desirable kind as are the regular
black bass that he received today from
the government hatchery.
To get these he had to make appli.
cation to the proper department anC
it was long and tedious matter to gel
them. He is glad for the small ship
rent as he says the black bass are
hard to get.

Your mother sends you $40 without

WHY nor THE IRIsH WAVE

The proposal to issue bonds to COM
plete the reclamation projects already
begun is meeting with general APP
proval. The Philadelphia Press has
the following in recent issue:
President Taft's Spokane speech
brings sharply before the American
public the problem presented by irri-
cation and reclamation.
A vast sum is needed. Down to De-
cember 81, 1908, $42,OO0,OOO had
been spent on 2,292,346 acres. These
are expected to cost complete more
than twice this, $50, 431 500.
The money is giving out. The states
with arid lands cannot raise it. The
farmer cannot borrow on waterless
land the sum needed to make his land
worth mortgaging. Irrigation COM
panies cannot raise the capital. Yet
the land is there, the water is ready to
be brought to it and the increase in
national assets would pass all esti-
mates and pay the cost ten fold.
This was the Irish land problem.
The landlords wanted to sell. The
tenants wanted to buy. The capital
was wanting to finance the task of
buying $4,000 holdings and letting
them to tenants on terms which they
could pay.
The English treasury came in. 1t
issued bonds at 2 Sd per cent. The
landlord took the bonds. The tenant
took the land. He paid rent which
in thirty to fifty years would ex-
tinguish the debt, interest and princi-
pal, and leave him the land. Even
doing this, it was possible to reduce
rents from 10 to 40 per cent below
their previous price.
The difference between the sum at
which the English Covenant could
borrow, ga per cent. and the in

BIGGEST IN THE WORLD.

1t is announced that plans have
been completed for the building of
dam across the Snake river short
distance above American Falls for
the purpose of storing the flood wa
tiers of the Snake river, together with
the flood waters of the Portnuef. In
extent of surface this reservoir will
be one of the largest artificial lakes
in the world. It will reach up the
Portneuf TO within a few miles of
Pocatello, and will cover the broad
bottom lands of Portnuef and Ban
mock creek which opens into the Snake
river above American Falls. There
are but few private rights to be pur-
chased in order to clear the land of
counter claims. The waters from this
great lake will be used to supply irri-
cation water for the great Bruneau
tract of 100000 acres for which
has been made by Frank
H. Bull and his associates.
1t will require twenty millions of
