children of an age that entitled them
10 be classed as young people in the
households of Uncle Sans best-paid
servants. If there were Junior mem
bers of such households, they were
for the most part grandchildren or
cousins or nepAews and nieces. The
result of this state of affairs was that
the juveniles, neither collectively nor
individually, were much of factor
in the social activities of officialdom,
and very few of the entertainments
in this sphere were planned espe-
cially for the benefit of the younger
contingent of the community.
But, as has been said, the past half
score of years has seen gradual
change of conditions that has made
the Juveniles and the unmarried
young men and young women an ele-
ment to be reckoned with. The ex-
PLANTATION of the new state of affairs
is to be found, of course, in the cap
ture by younger men of a large
proportion of the most exalted posi-
tons in the executive, legislative and
judicial branches of the government.
No longer need a public man be a
grandfather ere he Is deemed to have
arrived at the years of discretion nee
essary to warrant the nation in en-
trusting its most momentous affairs
to him. Something of this same
leaning in favor of younger men has
even been manifested on the part of
many of the leading foreign govern
ments that send ENJOYS to act as ac-
credited resident representative at
Washington.
The natural sequel of this invasion
of young blood in our governing cir
Giles is that the elders have been in

May Tinker The Tariff.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-"Nothing
in that" was the terse comment of
Representative Underwood of the
house committee on ways and means
today in referring to President Taft's
suggestion that the extra session of
congress should be confined to reci-
procity legislation.
"There are two things to be done by
the extra session." said Mr.. Under
wood.
''One is the passage of the recipro.
city measure and the other ia legisla-
tion on the tariff. We will pass q re-
ciprocity bill through the house, and
we will put tariff revision through. "
Replying to suggestions that the
president might veto any measure in
which the revision of the cotton, WOOL
en- or other schedules are tackled on
as riders, Mr.. Underwood said that
as far as the house is concerned it was
q matter on which no conclusion had
been reached.

Will Not Tax Mortgages.

HELENA, March 9.-Among the bills
approved by Governor Norris yester-
day was the Donohue pure food meas
ures. While taking exception to that
provision of the act stipulating that
nothing in the act shall be contrary
to the rulings of the national pure

this not of sufficient Importance to
warrant him in vetoing the bill.
The governor vetoed h. B. 12l,
regulating the sale and manufacturing
of dairy products in the state, on the
ground that 1t was amply covered by
other bills, save the provision for the
appointment of dairy specialist, an

Want Lower Wool Freight.

HELENA, March 10. - President
Gooding, of the National Wool grow.
er's association, has employed V. o.
Johnson, one of the leading attorneys
of Idaho, to present the case of the
western sheepmen to the interstate
commerce commission, pleading for
q reduction of the freight rates on
wool from all western, northwestern
and southwestern points. President
Gooding appeared before the members
of the interstate commerce commission
recently and was given assurance that
the sheepmen's case would be heard.
The rates on wool shipments from
western points to Boston, Philadel.
phia or New York city, are consider
ed contiscatory by the sheepmen. The
average car Of wool pays from $500 to
$500 freight. Wool is looked upon
by the railroads as an extremely de.
sirable class of freight, is not injured
by wrecks, is not injured by delay in
shipment, and is always considered
slow freight, yet it is charged almost
100 per cent more than other commo'
dities in the same class.

Big Slaughter Of Livestock.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Reports
to the census bureau from the slaugh-
tering and meat packing ostablish-
ments and slaughter houses of the
United States show that during 1909
there were 68, 403. 900 animals slaugh-
tered for food in those esta blishments.
This total does not represent the en-.
tire domestic meat supply of the coun.
try, as large number of animals are
slaughtered on farms or elsewhere
than in slaughter houses. In addition
over all 300 animals reported as hav-
ing been killed or as dying q natural
death and consumed in the msnufac.

and m any more die on the farms and

American Troops Move South.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-An army
of approximately twenty thousand
men, representing all branches of the
service, is mobilizing along the Mexi-
can border of the United States. 1t is
officially stated. and the administra-
tion made special efforts to substanti.

pose was maneuvers on grand scale

While every effort was made in Off.

movement the appearance of simple
prepar alton for m maneuvers, there we're
persistent rumors that the government
was preparing for more serious
eventualities.

ality Of New Tax.
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The cor.
por alton tax provisions of the Payne.
Aldrich tariff act were sustained today
as constitutional by the supreme court
of the United States. The court was
unanimous In the decision.
Thereby a source of income of ap.
proximately s25, 900, 900 annually was
assured to the government.
OF all the objections to the tax
raised by suits in all parts of the
country none of them was found suffi-
cient to nullify the law.
Justice Day said that the court held
that the tax was an excise tax on the
doing Of business, which is ex actly the
basis on which the government has
defended the law. Justice Day seemed
to hold that the tax provisions were
not the arbitrary exercise of power.
This had been urged in argument as
one reason why the law should be
held unconstitutional.
The fight against the institutional
ity of the corporation tax began al.
most Immediately after the enactmen,

the long days of wrangling in con
gress over that measure, Presiden,

ARMY MOVING SOUTH.

proceeding in perfect order. Innum.
erable telegrams are being received
by General Leonard Wood, chief OF
staff, reporting that his sudden orders
flashed from the capital only three
days ago are being carried out with
rapidly and precision.
The officers who set the machinery

From all directions trains are car

Official Washington still insists, for
public alton, that the sole purpose OF
this sudden and unexpected display ol
the military resources of the nation is
to engage in field maneuvers and prac.
tice under service conditions; in
private, they make little effort to con-
ceal the relation of the "maneuvers
to conditions actual and potential
over the Mexican border line. The
conundrum over which the uninform

titude of the Mexican government TO-

war resources at it's doorstep. Not 9

that the conditions here are ideal for

and house bill 221, imposing tax on

Governor Norris intima ated that there
may be some trouble in having the
measure accomplish all it is designed
to do.
State officers and legislators will

the provisions of the bill are in direct
conflict with the decision of the su-
preme court in the Johns case, Gov.

that he was elected on q platform con-
tanning an anti-pass pledge. Though
vetoing this bill, the governor sp-
proved senate bill %, making the state
