liberty Of the latter is shielded
by the Government, but his
broad acres and long lines of fac
tories are made secure by the
courts and great armies. The
former costs the Government
nothing, while upon the latter it
,oftimes spends thousands of dol
lars. In time of war, the former
.bares his brest as target to the
enemy, while the latter hires
substitute and hikes away to the
mountains of Switzerland.
But, Mr.. Speaker. the boIdest
declaration in opposition to the
income tax yet heard comes from
It h e distinguished gentleman
fro m Massachusetts Mr..
MCCALL, 1t is indeed hard to
understand how a statesman DOS
sessing his known intellectually
could advocate such political
principle as to oppose this meas
.ure upon The grounds that it is
,vlolatlve of the principles upon
which the Government was
founded. He discussed at length
the proposition that the fathers
OF the Republic, to make secure
democratic equality among the
States, intended that when a di-
rect tax was levied. it should be
apportioned amoung the several
States according to their popula
tion. This doctrine might have
appealed TO reason at time
when the pro rata wealth Of the
States was practically equal.
Had the trainers of the Constitu-
tion known that the present
policy of spoliation and greed
would have been so long saddled
upon the country, that one State
would have been drained of it's
wealth to enrich another, | dare
s,say that norsuch provision would
have been in the Federal Consti-
tuition. Can anyone believe for
a moment that when our patriotic
forefathers founded this Republic
they thought that the time
would ever come when, by a
system Of unjust taxation, the
per capita wealth of Massachu
.setts would be increased to more
than $500, while that of Missis-
:sippi would be reduced to less
than $3.50, on that they intended
that the individual owning $3.50
should be forced to contribute as
much to the support Of the Gov
lernment as one owning $500
In the light Of these facts, any
one who now advocates . direct
tax levied on the several States
according to the population there
of exemplifies statesmanship
as tyrannical .as it is indefensi.
BILE.
Sir, there lis another reason
-why:this sdirect system of taxa.
zion BY States should and must
be forever abandoned. When
the Constitution was adopted our
vast negro population was in
slavery and was pot counted as a
basis upon which this tax should
be levied againstany State. Now
there are more than six millions
OF them in the Gulf States alone
made citizens by Che Constitution
and who, however penniless they
may be, must be, counted in esti-
mating the population of any
State against which a direct tax
is sought to he, levid. Such a
system Of taxation would force
the white property owners of the
South 70 contribute ten times as
much az those living in other
sections of the Union. We
should remember that since the
adoption OF the Constitution
many changes have taken place
IA this Republic. I. This system of
axation vas adopted to make
teadfsst the doctrine Of state
oyeseignty. But The integrity

OUR MILITIA BOYS
A GREAT RECORD

Company G. of the Idaho National
Guards has returned from Boise.
While there the boys made remark
able record in craftsmanship and
other things connected with soldier
life. Captain Church is to be con-
graduated upon the splendid showing
made by his company. Ever since
its organization the Caldwell militia
company has been looked upon more
or less as a joke. The splendid show
ing made at Boise in competition
with the other companies of the
state has changed all this to decent
respect. Henceforth the boys will be
taken seriously. They are engaged
In a great work and some day may
be able TO render their country sig
nal service. At any rate the training
and discipline they are now getting
will be valuable to them as citizens.
The making of good citizens is the
noblest work an American either. ean
engage in, and such a one as IS oolng
that merits the encouragement of all.
We append the scores made by the
Caldwell Company at Boise:
Company G scores at Boise on Satur-
day made good comparison with those
OF the other companies. At the 500
yard range, two forty-fives were made,
46 being the highest made by anyone
In the four companies. Captain Church
was in command. The following scores
are all over 40 out of a possible so:

VAN DUYN
LOOKSUPCASE
BOY WAS NOT INJURED AS MUCH
AS THOUGHT AT THE TIME.
County Attorney Makes Thorough In
VestfgatiOn of Parma School Episode
and Finds Things Quilted Down
Child Has Returned to School.

County Attorney Van Duyn visited
Parma Tuesday for the purpose Of
investigating the McCoy-Dougan case,
MIR. Van Duyn states that the Mccoy
child was not nearly so badly injured
as Mrs. Mccoy thought. In fact he
found that the child had only small
scratch above the eye, and is back in
school again. He interviewed Mrs.
Mccoy, Miss Dougan and the Mccoy
child as well as the attending physi-
clan, DR.. Waldrop. That the child
was struck in the eye was an acct
dent. The teacher had reprimanded
the child several times for whispering.
She had just got through admonishing
the boy and had turned her back,
when he started it again. She meant
to slap him, but the boy lodged her
and was struck in the eye. Except
that the injuries were not as bad as
stated the account in the last issue of
The Tribune was found practically
correct.
Tuesday afternoon The Tribune re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Mccoy in
which she says that she intends car
rying out her first intention; that is,
swearing out warrant against the
teacher unless she resigns. The cpl
sode seems to have stirred things up
considerable at Parma. Many of the
citizens think Mrs. Mccoy unduly
nervous and excitable and on the i'm
pulse of the moment was too strongly
impressed with the occurrence.
The Tribune has now given both
sides of the story. Time will probably
furnish further developments, if Mrs.
Mccoy persists in carrying out her
ideas.

NAMPA COUPLE ELOPE

Clayton Clay Reed, ticket agent at
the o. S. L. depot, and Miss Clara
Foust, employed as a central girl by
the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company, eloped Saturday night and
no trace has yet been found of them.
Reed is a married man and leaves
his wife here practically pcnniless.
He was married at Kemmerer, Wyom-
ing four years ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reed came to Nampa two years ago
and they have resided here since that
time. Reed was a pleasant, agreeable
fellow, of good habits and was con-
sidered good railroad man.
Miss Foust is the daughter of Mrs.
F. E. Rogers and is twenty-one years
of age. Her apparent infatuation
with Reed and the subsequent elop-
ment are a mystery and a shock to
her friends.-Nampa Leader Herald.

the city this week on business. On
being asked by an old friend what the
effect of going "dry" had on Mos
cow, he replied: moscow is now a
better town than ever before in its
history" 1t might be we'll to add
that Mr.. Lieuallen was one of the
strong opposers of the temperance
regime, but is broad-minded enough
to- admit that he was mistaken as to
the detrimental results which he
honestly believed the Punishment of

HARD COAL FOUND.

Report comes from Indian creek,
about II miles from Payette, of the
discovery of an extensive ledge Of
hard coal. The discovery was made
by R. A. Raver of Gooding, who has
been prospecting in that neighborhood
with three other men all summer.
Outcroppings of coal were found on
the surface and last week shaft was
sunk seven or eight feet into the
ledge and fine grade of coal was en-
countered the entire distance. How
deep the ledge is could not be determ-
ned as the flow of water stopped OPP
Grafton temporarily.
If the field proves to be of any ex-
tent, the discovery promises to be very
valuable, as it will not be difficult to
build good road to it.-Payette In
