WITHOUT
JUST REPRESENTATION,
Six Northern Countles Pay Almost
Half the Taxes.

SIX M0KtneEm N0MM6AGa Kay Almost
Hall the Taxes.
It viii no doubt be surprise To-
the people throughout the state to
learn that the six northern counties
Of Idaho are At the present time pay
ing III per cent 81 the entire taxes o.
the state and the south So per cent.
This fact was figured out at the re-
cent meeting OF the assessors AZ
Boise, These figures show that each
OF the northern counties pay approx
imatsly 7 per cent Of the total tax.
while the southern counties pay
about s. n per cent each. An average
Of about one-half as much Is the
northern counties. The citizens OF
the north end have been FESTIVE for
gears under the dictatoriai manner
or the southern section. and these
figures will not tend TO allay that
feeling to any great extent when gem
orally known. The attempted re-
moval Of the agricultural college to
southern Idaho at the last session Of
the legislature. and the arrogant
manner assumed and Insulting Lam
guage used in connection with that
attempt still rankies in the minds Of
our people. Instead or making peare-
able or friendly overtures to allsy III
feeling. a nagging. questioning
doubling policy is pursued BY the
south end that has an opposite ten
dency. StiII they insist that they
cannot spare us and viii not give III
up. Certainly not 50 long as We beal

welt made it eighty thousand, but the
maximum never has been reached.
While discussing the army with Sec
rotary Of War Dickinson in Washington,
some time ago, The president made the
verbal suggestion, in line with his gen.
eral policy Of retrenehment, that when
the force reached eighty thousand, II
might be well to stop enlistments. The
understanding at the summer capitol is
that Mr. Dickinson may have acted upon
this suggestion No executive order 10

is understood, although an actual reduc-

positive action By the president, II q
plan TO restrict enlistments to eighty

Of the president, although It will meet
with his sanction The steady improve
ment in business conditions is expected
