FIGHT IDAHO'S
NEW ROADLAW
Mayor of Boise Denounces
It, and City Will Resist
Collection.

Boise Statesman: The offensive
road tax law is to be tested by
Boise. This announcement was
made yesterday by Mayor Fritch-
man.
"The law is an abomination in
my opinion, said the mayor,
and l intend to do everything
in my power to knock it out. In
this / have the hearty co-opera-
ton of those associated with me
in the administration of the af-
fairs of the city.
Demand has been made upon
the city, through the clerk, for
So poll tax from each employee of
the city. The city will refuse to
hold this amount out of the sal
aries of these employees. Suit
will then be brought against the
city and the issue will be square
ly raised in the courts.
1.-THE plan of collecting road
taxes under this law is all wrong
1t is humiliating to the employee
it is annoying to the employer, il
is harassing to the general pub.

why cannot these taxes BIZ

Why should corporations be re
quired to take out So from the
pay of each employe? The ta1
collector gets a rakeoff for do

There will be $4,000 to 500,

a cent of it will go to assist il

1t will be expended under the an

FARMER 8 CONCLUSIONS ON
MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

The following article taken
from the st. Paul Dispatch is the
conclusion reached by Thomas
Horrigan, a Minnesota farmer, as
to the benefits and drawbacks of
the Mail order habit:
1--WE as farmers are very will
ing to admit what the fine-toned
orator tells us, that we are the
most independent people on earth,
and so we could and ought to be,
but are not. We are simply the
serfs and slaves of that great
monstrosity, the mail order house
which is sapping our financial liv-
es, / put it strongly, because ]
hope to awaken you to the reali.
zation of the slavery we so vol
UNFAIRLY accept ind seemingly en-.
joy. | do not claim to be any diff
ferent or better than the rest OF
you in this respect, but / would
like to join my fellow farmers in
throwing off the thraldom which
now exists.

SALMON WOOL HAULERs.

All old-timers and away-back-
.ers are familiar with barn rails
in s, goose pickin' bees, and gath
erin s with quiltin' in the house
and huskin' in the yard, but a
jollier bunch never assembled in
those good old days than the one
which constituted the "wool
hauling" crew that came up from
Doumecq Plains last Saturday
with wool from the Salmon Riv-
err Livestock company's head
quarters. The party consisted of
John +. Cochran, Will Rocks,
Oliver Garfield, Harry Twogood,
and A. r. Purves, and each one
of them brought a four-horse load
of the fleecy freight which was
stored in the Mclean warehouse.
When the wool caravan near
ed the city limits last Saturday,
a lady photographer hailed the
conductors and took a picture of
the train as it stood, and it is
stated that the order given by one
member of the crew was gener-
Gus enough to supply pictures for
all the, others and then leave plen
ty to scatter among their eastern
friends. Another train is due to
arrive in this port today under
the eonductorship of the same
crew.

last evening on visit. Their home

A band of horse traders or
horse thieves passed through here
the latter part of last week. Their
business also included bootlegging
and they disposed of some rotten
dope here at the rate of $3.50 a
quart.

Once upon a time a girl fell in
love with man whose father
was her fathers bitter enemy, and
they were secretly married. On
the same day the mans best
friend fights a duel with one Ty-
bolt, close relative of the girl,
and the happy bridegroom runs
his sword through Tybalt. He is
banished from the city, and the
girl is told she must wed anoth-
er man.
Rather than do that she takes
a potion which puts her to sleep
for two days, with all the appear
.ance of death. Believing her
dead, her family remove her to
the vault, where her lover, hav-
ing been notified to come, hurries
to meet her. He thinks her dead.
She wakes up to find him dead,
a suicide, at her side. So she
kills herself, too.
