that all of the business men do

Cupid Wins Again.

Johnnie Baer, the popular local
stock buyer, stole a march on
his friends the first of the week
by going to Lewiston and being
quietly married to Miss Lille
Hollandsworth, sister of James
Hollandsworth, of this place.
The wedding was performed
Wednesday and the happy
couple left yesterday for Mans
field, Wash, to spend Christmas
with the groom's brother, DIR.
Baer, and family. They intend
going to Eugene, Oregon, by way
of Seattle and Portland, to visit
Mrs. Baer's relatives and will
later return to Spokane and then
to Cottonwood.
The groom has been a resident
of this county for the past
number of years and has hosts
of friends.
The bride formerly resided
here for several years and is
well known to many residents OF
this section. She is a young
lady of many charms and ac-
complishments and stands high
in the esteem of all who know
her.
The CHRONICLE joins with
their many friends in extending
hearty congratulations and vel
wishes.

any private property should be
exempt from taxation. If any
donations are to he made to anv
class OF people or societies. they
should be made direct from the
public treasures, that the people
may know the amount they are
donating. Only public property
should go untaxed and no double
assessments should be permitted.
The exempt property in Ada
county alone, under the present
method of assessment, will reach
about 81, $50, 1000. If assessed at
its full cash value, as the law
demands, it would amount to
$2,5OO,OOO.
The average tax rate on this
exempt property would be about
4~S2, and the tax would amount
in around numbers to the sum of
$lO8, 600. Would the people of
this country agree to the direct
donation of this amount to the
exempted classes from their

SMALL WRECK
IN LOCAL YARDS
Freight Engine Run into Car
Standing Near the Switch and
was DeraiIed---Passenger was
Delayed Until Noon.

The local freight train was
wrecked in the yards here Tues
day night by running into a box
car on the siding. The work
train had done some switching
during the evening and left a
car standing on the side track
near the switch with only the air
brakes set. After time the air
leaked out and the car rolled
back near the switch. Owing to
the thick fog the engineer on the
freight could not see the danger
and ran against it at pretty good
speed. The collision caused the
engine and tender to leave the
track and pile up against the
bank just below the Funke resi-
dence and it was necessary to
construct a new track around
the wreck the next morning to
enable the passenger train to get
by. The track was cleared about
noon Wednesday and the passen-
ger proceeded on to Lewiston.
The engine and tender were
gotten back onto the track yes
terday and were not much the
worse for the accident.

Boise Attorneys Create a Small

ton was thrown into vortex OF
heated debate Saturday after.
noon by a paper on taxation read
by General Frank Martin, advo-
eating revision along radical
lines of the revenue statute of
Idaho. Though many of the
lawyers present paid high CON-
pliment to the author for the
perfection of his method of stat
ing his case, a number differed
with him in his views, and the
expression of individual opinions
on the countless ramifcations of
that broad subject precipitated
one of the most violent debates
ever known in the history of the
organization.
The proposal which was made
in the discussion to tax church
property and the property of GER
tain kinds of social and so-called
benevolent institutions raised a
storm. The members of the bar
engaged in a wordy combat over
this proposition for some time.
Attorney Harry Keyser, in
espousing the cause of General
Martin, threw down the bars
and walked into the subject with
startling frankness. n
That is the greatest paper on
constructive craftsmanship ever
read before this body. It en-
bodies the fundamental principals
of the science which it treated.
1t is the commonest fact that
people have less regard for the
truth in questions involving tax
alton than in any other walk of
life.
And right here I want to say
that, in defiance of the usual
fears of political annihilation for
the expression of such views, 1
am unalterably in favor of church

exemption fearlessly, and / am
glad to see a man like General
Martin, who has the courage of
his convictions and is not afraid
to speak the truth. 1t was speak
ing the truth in such matters
that kept Colonel Robert Greene
lngersoll from becoming presi-
dent of the United States"
These sentiments were ap-
plauded by the bar, and created
profound sensation.
General Martins thoughts were
eouched in temperate and smooth
language, but the force of their
significance greatly moved his
listeners. He said the legislature
should repeal the laws exempting
all private property.
One point that he made raised
another war: 1t is we'll rec

or individuals to be assessed at
their full cash value, independ-
