HIGH taxes are attributable

HIGH taxes are attributable
more to official extravaganza
and reckless waste OF public
money, than to any other cause.
Even the high tariff is due to ex.
travagance in government ex.
penditures. Senator Borah OF
this state sounded a warning
along these lines last spring
when he made his strong plea
for the income tax. He pointed
out that the American people,
because they are not taxed dir
ectly by the government seem to
care little how much money is
wasted, seeming not to know
that they are paying the bill in
high cost Of food and clothes.
Under the income tax a vast
number of the average well-to-
do people whose incomes amount
to 81 900 and upward would be
made to feel the burden and
would consequently take pains
to find out what they are get
ting for the taxes they pay.
This would lead to investiga-
ton as to where the money was
going and create a powerful SEN
timent to demand the shaving
down OF the expense accounts OF
the government. The leaks are
many in nation, state and coun-
ty, and should be stopped.

There is more Catarrh In this Sec
ton OF the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be IN.
For great many years doc.
tors pronounced II a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, aud by
failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manu- actured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
Is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally Ia
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonfuI

ages, on the mountain, clean the
main creek OF all dead brush,
rotten logs, etc, and puddle il
over the sandy places where
some of the water is believed to
be lost by sinking away into the
banks. The flow in Spring
Branch creek could in this man
ner be increased probably fifty
per cent or more. 1t is worth
Investigation. Any other
scheme would probably cost
more than the town could bond
for at the present time.

result OF the local option election

NEWS NOTES FROM ATHOL
S. H. Watkins and Family Move
to Spokane.

S II. Watkins and family departed
for their new home 10 Spokane, Sep
TENDER 10th. Mr.. Watkins was one
of Athol's oluest citizens, having
come here fourteen years ago and ever
since has been 10 the general mer-
chantile business. He has helped
many an early settler 10 getting a
start, and will be missed great deal
for legal advice, as it was always TO
Mr.. Watkins people went. He was
one Of the county commissioners for
several years. and since the town was
organized has been one of our council
men. No doubt he will always be
interested in Athol as he has a great
deal OF land all around here. as well
as town property. Mrs. Watkins was

A REPORT from Cnur d Alene
declares the increase of koote-
nai's tax levy is due in part to
local option agitation. Ii this
be so, why is it that Canyon
county. which voted dry in
August, has now levied tax OF
only ICY mills, 5 mills less than
last year before it had local
option? Local option has not
hit kootenai yet; nevertheless
our tax levy is increased IL
mills over last year.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1909-09-24
Why Can't Kootenai?

A reader submits the following for
publication:
Increased taxation seems to be the
stock argument OF those who oppose
local option. The county commits
sioners are reported to have assigned
the local option agitation as one Of
the causes for the increase 10 the tax
levy. Dayton, Wash, was receiving
$4,000 per year from the saloons. The
city went dry and consequently lost
the $500; but still reduced the TAX
rate one mill. Why cannot Kootenai
county do the same thing?
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1909-09-24

Why the state needs to raise
more money in taxes this year
than last matters little, per-
haps, but it is responsible for
about 80 per cent in the increase
of kootenai county's levy over
the levy of last year. Why this
county needs the other so per
cent OF increase, probably also
matte little.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1909-09-24

If Idaho cannot become"dry"
territory completely under the
present local option law, agita-
ton for statewide prohibition
will be the next thing in order.
1t is not likely that most OF the
counties will remain quietly in
the "dry" column and see Boise
and some of the other cities and
the counties they are in remain
"wet."

of attorney, within the court wherein you may practice. according to the best of your learning and discretion. and with fidelity, as well to the court as to your client; ho help your God |"
 Turning to Judge Shumway, MT. Thayer then said:
 This attorney has made an attempt to use the highest branch of the gov- ernment to do the thing which the statutes absolutely forbid. He en- tered into deal with Attorney Rabell in New York, who was counsel for and against Robert A. Lowe, and with Samuel Lipshitz. to tie up Hendrick in his property so that he would be fore ed to give up. Then they told Hem drick when they got him over to Waterbury they wouldn't do a thing to him. It is a poor advertisement for Waterbury to have sue ha nimpres- sion get abroad that such attorneys can use the courts to further their own ends.'
 In closing. Mir. Thayer argued that the decision should be against Rog- CTS because he was not the bona fide owner of the claim he presented against Hendrick at the time he brought the action.
 In his argument in support of the claims of Mir. Rogers, Attorney O'Neill said his client was acting within his rights and he considered Hendrick as a sharp operator.
 Judge Shumway took the papers and the decision will be handed down later. The court was then adjourned.
