Park" because it will be situated in
the woods, and will entice us from the
warm and dusty town to pleasant
scenes of green trees, restful seats,
and inviting pathways that lead to
radiant blooms of wild flowers. A ride
on the trolley to the park will re-
fresh us after the days work and
worries are over. There we will meet
congenial friends from College and
Bryan. Perhaps sweet strains of mu-
sic will inspire in us desire to trip

ties of the mind, thereby resting the
wheels of the brain that have been

The things necessary to make Bry-
an have $4,000 by 1915 are; first, a
good car line, such as you are build
ing, to give quick transit between Col
lege and Bryan. The city limits must
be extended to take in the many ad-
ditions. Since we have the trolley
many people would move there to live
near enough to the schools to educate
their children. The citizens must be-
stir themselves to get good water
works, sewerage and an electrical
plant that can be depended on to sup
ply lights and power for running fans.
etc.
Bryan must clean up, build side
walks and make good roads. We. the
people of Bryan, should have much
better system of drainage. There is
no reason why Bryan should not be
made such an attractive little city
that when strangers come into it they
are possessed with a desire to make
their home here.
With the help of our citizens, some
man could give his entire time to the
work of building up the city; by doing
such things as exhibiting to home

and time) the products of our soil, the
superiority of this location over any

be so named. and what Bryan should

BOISE PICTURE SHOWS
WERE OPEN SUNDAY
Recent Decision of Supreme Court, was Incent-
i've for Bosses Moving Picture Houses to
Open for Business Last Sunday.

Boise, Aug, s.-Acting on the
advice of attorneys who have studied
the law and the situation pretty
thoroughly, every moving picture
house in Bose city opened for bus /.
ness yesterday afternoon and even
ing, and every Sunday in the future
unless prevented by the authorities.
The Riverside park players yes
terday gave light opera instead of
the usal Sunday evening concert.
The supreme courts decision in
the the scenic railway test case was
the signal for grand stampede to
open Sunday on the part of all
amusement proprietors.
The moving picture men, said
one Of the representatives, base
their claims on the argument that
discrimination will not be tolerated
in favor of one amusement and
against another because it happens
to be Of different type.
They quote the following reason
ing from the supreme courts deci-
sion regarding the scenic railway:
"'This class of Legislation is upheld
solely as an exercise of the police
power of the state. The prohibition
of public amusement on Sunday
must rest on the theory that it Is
necessary, either for the protection
of the public morals, the public
health, or the public peace ana safe
ty. This amusement is not per Sc
unlawful or dangerous or detrimen-
tai to the public health. 1t is ap-
parently wholesome, innocent
amusement. In order to prohibit
such an amusement we ought to find
the prohibition within the statue
either in positive terms or by clear
implication"

that of discouraging and as far as
possible preventing intoxication
and intemperance in the use of IN
toxicants, and second and equally
important, that Of protecting the
youth of the state from acquiring a
taste for intoxicants and the habit
Of indulging in drinks and bever-
ages that contain the Intoxicating
element.
After learning of the courts de-
eision, Sheriff Bulge and Pros-
ecuting Attorney Harris consulted
with the proplietors of the soft
houses in Montpelier, and agreed to
give them until August goth to dis
pose of what near beer they had in
stock After that no more of the
beverage will be sold here.

SIX AMENDMENTS
TO CONSTITUTION

Idaho's next general election In
November will bring before the
voters six amendments to the state
constitution, two of which are of
unusual Importance for the one
provides an additional member on
the state land board, the state
auditor, and the other makes it
possible for supreme court Justices
to call in judge of the district
court to sit on cases. These amend
ments have not been given wide
publicity. The political situation
has had 80 many other interesting
amendments that the constitutional
amendments have all but been lost
sight of, even by those who are
their sponsors. Resolutions pro-
viding for submitting the amend
ments were passed at the last leg
stature They e as follows:
To make the state auditor the
fifth member of tt state land
board. The board would then be
composed of the governor, secre-
tary of state, attorney general, su-
perlntendent of public instruction
and state auditor.
Providing for the calling in of
an additional justice for the su-
premc court and authorizing two
chief justices to agree on calling on
to the bench of Judge of the dis
trict court of any district.
Authorizing the state Legislature.
to create bond issue or appropri-
ate sufficient fund to complete TIE
state capitol building and furnish it
throughout.
Authorizing county assessors to
employ the necessary clerical assist
ance and appoint deputies when SO
empowered by the board of county
commissioners.
Providing for sherlffs to succeed
themselves.
Providing for county assessors to
succeed themselves.

The state board of equalization,
which is now in session at Boise,
may change the valuations on some
items, as reported by the assessor.
Quite bit Of property may also be
added on the subsequent list, which
will bring the total up TO very near
what it was last year.
In lookil q over the schedules
from the various counties, as pub
lished in the Boise papers,, we find
that SIX other counties show de-
crease in assessed valuations this
year. They are Elmore, Bingham,
Fremont, Owyhee, Latah and Sho-
shone, the latter two showing the
greatest decrease, that of Latah
being nearly a million less than
last year. Lincoln county heads
the list in percentage of increase,
which is approximately rs per cent.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-08-12

\ The moving picture men aver that
exactly the same liue of reasoning
applies to their amusement. Further
than that, they go to the technical
phase, and claim shelter, as did the
scenic railway promoters, under the
claim that the Sunday rest law does
mot either by positive terms or by
clear implication, specifically prohi.
bit a moving picture show on Sun
day.
Section 1926 of the law states
that ''it shall be unlawful for any
person or persons in this state to
keep open on Sunday any theatre,
playhouse, race track, merry-go-
round, circus or show, concert
saloon, billiard or pool room, bowl
ing alley, variety hall, or any such
place of amusement"
In arguing the case before the SUI
preme court, Assistant Attorney
General j. Fl. Peterson and County
County Assistant Attorney General
Q. p. Mccarthy emphasized their
contention that the scenic railway
was similar to a merry-go-round,
and although not specifically men,
toned in the statute, it was prohi-
blted under the general terms COR
any such place of amusement"
The supreme court overthrew
this theory,
The moving picture men now
claim that "a moving picture
amusement" does not come under
the law, because it is not specifically
mentioned therein, nor Is il similar
TO any other thing barred by the
statute. The courts have in num-
erous decisions specifically held that
a moving picture entertainment il
not theatre or play house.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1910-08-12

Following is q syllabus of the
courts decision:
Section 3 of local option statute
defines intoxicating liquors as in
Guiding "splritous, vinuous, malt
and fermented liquors and all mix
lures and preparations thereof, in
Guiding bitters and other drinks
that may be used as beverage and
produce intoxication." :"
Under the definition given by the
legislature all spirituous, vinuous,
malt aud fermented liquors are de-
clared as a matter of law to be in
toxicatlng and it is unnecessary
for the state to prove that any
liquor or beverage falling within
the enumerated class will in fact
produce intoxication.
Under the provisions of the local
option statute it is necessary for
the state to prove the Intoxicating
quality Of all mixtures and prepara-
tions used or intended to be used as
beverages which will not fall with
in the enumerated class designated
as "splrituous, vinous, malt and
fermented liquors"
The Legislature in the enactment
of the local option statute evidently
had in mind twofold object: first

ton of real estate and personal

There are 5,62s acres of patent

R. ASCHLEMAN
INSTANTLY KILLED

Rudolph Aschleman was instantly
killed last Tuesday afternoon by
being run over with a wagon heavily
loaded with grain. The accident
happened about mile north of
town on the old Bennlng on road,
the particulars of which are about
as follows:
Mr.. Aschleman was sitting on a
sack of grain at the front end of
the wagon, driving his team. In
passing over rut in the road the
sack on which he was sitting start
ed to slide from the load. Instead
of stopping the team, he attempted
to drive with one hand and pull the
sack back with the other. In doing
this the reins became slack and the
team started up suddenly, and Mr..
Aschleman was thrown to the
ground. One of the front wheels
passed diagonally across his chest,
and 1t is believed that the weight of
the load ruptured his heart
Mr.. Asehlt man | 8 year old son,
wao was riding on the rear of the
load, hurriedly climed over the
sacks, down onto the wagon tongue,
got hold of this lines stopped the
horses, tied them to the fence and
ran back to where his father was
lying. Seeing that his father was
badly injured, the lad hurried to
field nearby and informed George
Stephens of what had happened.
When Mr.. Stephens and the boy
arrived at Mr.. Aschleman's side,
life was extinct.
Word was fent into town as
quickly as possible and convey
ance secured to take the lifeless
body to the Aschleman home, at
the mouth of Montpelier canyon.
The news Of his death came as an
awful blow to Mrs. Aschleman and
the other children and the family
have the deepest sympathy of the
entire community.
Mr.. Aschleman was A years of
age. He was very industrious and
by hard work had acquired quite a
comfortable home. He is survived
by a widow and five children. Mr..
Aschleman carried insurance to- the
amount of $1,000 in the Brother
hood of American Yoemen. His
funeral services we're held from the
First Ward meeting house yester-
dav afternoon.
In connection wi b his tragic
death the Examiner wish . to state
that there is no truth IN the report
which was circulated Tuesday even,
, ing to the effect that e a eldent
was caused by. Mr.. Ast hleman'e
