UNIVERSITY BOND
ISSUE INVALID
SUPREME COURT PASSES ON
QUESTION OF DEBT LIMIT
By THE STATE.
Protect People Against Excessive Leg
islative Appropriations.


BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 13.-''The
legislature can not anticipate the flu
ture and leave it to the will and
pleasure Of ministerial and executive
officials acting as a state board Of
equalization to SO swell the total as
sessed valuation OF the state that
they may in any given year sell state
bonds authorized by the legislature
at a time when such bond issue ex-
ceeds the existing valuation of the
state and the constitutional indebt-
edness," says the supreme court in
sustaining the demurrer Of the state
to the application Of the board Of
regents of the University of Idaho
for writ of mandate to compel
State Treasurer Hastings and other
executive officers of the state to is
sue bonds in the sum of $4,000,
authorized for the university by the
tenth legislature, and therefore holds
the bond issue void and unconstitu-
tional.
Legal, Says Regents.
The bond issue, which exceeded
the constitutional Indebtedness as
determined by the assessed valuation
of the state for 1908, did not, how
ever. exceed the new constitutional
Unite determined from the increased
assessed valuation of the state for
1909, and basing issuance of the
bonds under the latter constitutional
limit, the regents commended that
the issue could be legally executed
The state in a demurrer to the APP
plication set up the contention that
such would permit the future OF the
state to be mortgaged by the legis-
lature.
ut SO happened in this case that
sufflcient bonds were retired to per-
NIT the sale of this issue on Sep
TENDER 1. 1909" says the supreme
court; land the state win be within
the debt limit even though the as
sessed valuation for 1893 had not
been increased over that for 1908,
but this can make no difference with
the principle involved. It might
have depended entirely on a raise
of the total assessed valuation, aud
the same officers who were to nego.
tiate and sell these bonds are mem
bers of the board of equalization.
There is no vice in this fact alone,
but II illustrates the danger of such
rule and the improbability that the
trainers of the constitution ever IN
tended an Interpretation to be plac-
ed on this section that would make
such thing possible.
Protection Of the People.
This provision of the constitution
was adopted for the protection of
the people against the pressure that
might be brought to bear on the
members OF the legislature for ex-
eessive appropriations for the various
state institutions, internal improve
ments and various other objects and
purposes.
1t was intended to protect the
new state from oppressive taxation
and bankruptcy. such as had befall.

protection as a debt limitation 10

Let Farm Products be the
Features of the Fairs.

What we want, my people, is an
agricultural fair, not meeting place
of 1.-The greatest aggregation of lea
shows ever seeen on earth, - and
few horse races thrown i'm, TO take out
OF the pockets of our citizens what
few pennies the shows and sin games
have failed to lift. The purpose of an
agricultural fair, 1t has always SEEM
ed TO me, is 10 teach-by the exhibit
tion of products-beter methods of
agriculter and stock growing, and not
TO teach our boys and men the latest
thing in the gambling line, or to
appeal TO their worst natures with
all tricks of harlotry under the guise
of amusements. Let us have in each
of our sections an agricultural exhib-
ition each year that is worthy the
name, making the prime object of
these fairs the enl ightenment and
education of all-all are dependent
on, and so ought 10 be interested in,
agricultural development-and result
will follow that will benefit the peo-
pie of our section TO the amount of
ten times the cost.
ASK the farmers to bring in their
agricultural exhibits, guaranteeing
them a square deal, giving them to
know that straight, home-produced
agricultural exhibit will not be fore
ed TO compete with an exhibit pur-
chased here and there all over the
country and brought for the sole puI
pose OF capturing the premium
money. Then lie. us have some good
horse races if you will, but remember
that cattle, hogs, sheep and draft
horses and mules will be worth one
hundred times as much to the people
of the State as the race horses art
worth or ever will be, and give The
utility breeds of stock the premium
money that their value TO the State
warrants. .-Progressie Farmer.

The railroad furnishes many anus

between Williamson and Welch, w.

AS the enigneer on heavy freight
train rounded curve coming east,
he noticed standing on the track, a
boy with his hand TO his face as if i'm
deep meditations. The enigneeI blew
his whistle almonst loud enough To
wake the dead, but the boy kept his
position in the middle of the track,
and the enigneer shut his eyes and
prepared for the worse. The enigne
struck the boy with full force and
threw him several yards distant into
Tug River. The train crew assembled
as soon rs possible and made arrange

to their amazement the boy swan 70

Ten Year Old Boy Sent 10
Reform School.

Frazier, the 10 year old son of MIR.
Martin, OF Poor Valley, who was
brought here and kept in jail for
several days, preparatory To sending
hiui To the Reform school, was taken
there last week.
The little fellow was said To he "A
very bad boy, and his father ack-
now lodged that he could do nolhing
with him, that he was absolutely i'm
corrigible, and gladly gave his con-
sent To the arrangement, as the best
thing To do for the little fellow.
This boys mother died some yeaIs
ago, when he was quite young, and
no doubt he suffered for the lack of IA
mothers care and influence.
The school at Richmond Is n good
one, and is to be hoped that the
teachers there Will be enabled To do
for th is poor child what his father
could not do, and what the Sunday
School and church people of his own
community failed 10 do, If they ever
tried To do anything. When man
or woman goes To the devil they

or girl goes, somebody else Is to

CHILD'S HEAD CUT
OPEN WITH AXE
Mother Was Splitting Kind
ling and Accidently Struck
Little Girl.

Last Friday distressing accident
occurred near Grafton. Mrs Grafton
Bourne was splitting a piece of kind
ling wood, and her little child, a
girl ran under the axe, and received
a dreadful cash on the front LETT side
of her head. But for the fact that the
child had on at the time a heavy
bonnet, she would perhaps have been
killed. Mrs. Bourne wore large sun
bonnet which prevented her from see
ing the dangerous approach of the
child.
AT last accounts the little ,irl was
doing well, and will soon recover.
The parents were greatly distressed,
and one does not know which he
pities most-the child or its mother.

1t Happened on Sunday.

Horses and buggies and men,
women and chilrden got badly mixed
here last Sunday morning. Nobody
was hurt however, and as il all turn
ed out, no harm was done, except
that one party missed a good dinner
and pleasant time. This is what
happened = The editor of this paper
ordered horse and buggy from the
livery stable, be sent to around to
the Baptist Chcurh, promptly at 10
a. M. He intended going to the
"All-day meeting OH Cavatts
Creek i'll response to pressing invita-
tions from good people in that sec
tion. The conveyance was sent around
TO the Christian Church instead, Mr..
Moss, like many other good men, not
knowing which is the Baptist
Church, as the other is frequently re-
ferred TO as the Christian Baptist"
Church. The e1itor and his wife and
little boy, all decked out in becom-
ing Sunday costume, waited, waited
and waited, but no buggy came
Finally boy was started on a dead
run to hunt up the missing buggy,
which he learned had been taken to
the Christian Baptist" church, and
thither he went. In the meantime,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jos. Crockett, with
their children, had driven to town
and hitched up at the Christian
Church. Said boy, above referred to,
as all horses and buggies looked
alike to him, didn't do thing but
get in Mr.. Crockett's buggy, and
bring it around. The editor and his
crew piled in, and headed at rapid
clip for Cavatt's Creek. Mr. and rs.
Crockett, when they came out OF
church, were bewildered to find theiI
buggy gone! In the meanti ne the
mistake was detected by same boy
above mentioned, who came yelling
after Mr.. Crockett's rapidly departing
buggy, and the Editor. returned tt
town, found Mr.. and Mrs. Crockett
and the children loose and afoot in
the street, Explanations and a biz
laugh or two closed the incident. Th,

TazeweII Man Shot at WeIch.

The remains of Edward Wyatt, a
Tazewell county man, were brought
here from Welch for interment on
yesterday. The burial took place in
Thompson Valley.
Wyatt was on the police force at
Welch. On Tuesday night about
midnight, Waytt attempted to arrest
a negro who was breaking into box
car. The negro shot him with a So
caliber gun, the ball entering the
face just below the eye. Waytt lived
about s hours.
lie was son of James Wyatt,
and was born in Tazewell, in the
Sinking Waters. His mother is sister
TO Mrs. Geo. w. Patton of this town.
He was 20 years old and unmrried.
The funeral and burial ceremonies
were under the auspices of the WeIch
Camp of Modern Woodmen, of which
deceased was member. About
twelve of the members accompanied
the remains here. Wyatt took out an
insurance policy of $1,000, just a
short time ago, payable to his sister.
IL is stated that he was unaremd
at the time of the shooting. The re-
cent law against pistol toting being
so stringent TO forbid. Had he been
armed, it is said, he would not have
met his death at the hands of q
worthless nergo.
