ORCHARD
MADE OF SUGAR

SPOKANE, Nov 25-That there is
nothing new under the sun, is state
ment emphatically refuted at the 4th
National Apple show. A model irriga-
ted apple orchard, 16 feet long and 8
feet wide, made entirely out of sugar,
must be conceded as something really
new. That this unique exhibit should
be turned out from the Northern Pa
cific railroad bake shop entities it to
additional honors for being a stunt
never previously pulled off" In the
model are about 400 trees, an irri-
cation ditch, a house, barn, windmill,
chickens. pigs, sheep and train of
cars loaded with fruit is being pulled
from the orchard by a switch engine.
To add touch of realism, the fiat cars
in the train are loaded with lady ap-
pies"
This model is sample of the handi-
work of the Northern Pacific bakeries,
and was made at the company's bake
shop at Seattle under the direction of
Mr. Fred Kaul. The same degree
of care is manifest in this model as
in the model of the North Coast Lin
tied train which recently was exhibit
ed and aroused much comment

A PERTINENT SUGGESTION.

The Star-Mirror believes that Mr.
Morgan's letter to Judge Maclane
contains some pertinent and proper
suggestions. Doubtless Governor Haw-
ley chose two of the best lawyers in
the state to assist Idaho out of the
wilderness of it's taxation law, but
doubtless, also, even Judge Maclane
and Mr.. Martin will find profit in the
assessors, commissioners or district
attorneys have had direct workings
with the law
One doesn't doubt but that the dis
tinguished lawyers appointed by the
governor without the assistance of
others, can and will draft law that
will hold water, and will be a great
Improvement upon the present system
of taxation; but one does believe that
with the information and suggestions
proposed by Mr. Morgan at their dis
law more quickly, but will give us
well-articulated law that will work
easily and fiuidly in practice, and
will be so evidently proper that it will
pass the legislature without amend
ment.
The proposed special session will be
the first one of the legislature ever
held in Idaho Regardless of partizan-
ship, every citizen of Idaho wants to
see it do it's duty, do it quickly and
thoroughly, and then go home. AS
Mr.. Morgan suggests, if the bill is
properly drafted it Will show care
full and judicial consideration of some
scores of different plans, and it will
prevent the need of the presentation
of 80 different schemes by 80 different
legislators when the legislature is con-
vened
Two of the specific proposals of Rep |
resentative Morgan are worthy of |
careful consideration by the people of |
Latah county. One of these is the |
abolition of the present system of road |
tax. The Latah county delegation, to
man, was opposed to this poll tax
when it was up before the last legis-
lature, and in practical workings with
in this county it has fully justified
the delegations opposition. 1t is man
ifestly unfair to put a burden of a
road poll tax, now, upon aged men,
who under a different law, in their
youth, had to carry the burden of such
a tax not only for themselves, but for
the then exempt old men. 1t is mani
testify unfair to charge such a tax up
to the women, who are physically I'M
fit to bear any such burden; and it is
a disgrace to the state that does So
Under the present plan, the person
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1911-11-25

who has a definite employment is forced
to pay his road tax, because the col
lector can have it, and does have it,
held out of his wages, but the man
who has no steady work, no matter
how able he is to perform the manual
service needed on the road, nor how
much his earnings is free to escape.
The man who owns property, even per-
sonal property under the law, is to
have the tax assessed against that
property if it's is unpaid. But who
ever heard of the seizure of personal
property to pay road poll tax, i'll this
state? Or whoever will? 1t is one
of those laws, which upon account of
the impossibility of enforcement
breeds a contempt for the law.
But particularly important is the
suggestion that no man be permitted
to pay taxes upon his property while
back taxes, unpaid, are accruing
against it and stealthily transferring
some mans home into the hands of
the tax title shark.
The taxes should be charged up
against the land and should be record
ed in the assessors office against the
land, in such a way that man who
pays his taxes may know at the mo-
ment of that transaction that the rec
ord of the property as to all back taxes
is clear.
Mr.. Morgan's own experience shows
the Importance of this. Recently he
received a notice Of taxes due on a
in another county which he
had disposed of some years ago.
That land was still taxed to the
Moscow attorney, and the back taxes
had been accruing against it, posi- |
bly, maturing into tax title, without |
the knowledge of the real owner So
easily is this done in Idaho, that our
injured, rather than be pro-
,ected by the law, are constantly fac
ng the menace of losing their homes
% the rapacious greed Of some tax
tile shark.

NECESSITY OF SPECIALIZE
TON In CROP PRODUCTION

! The Idaho farmer, practically speak
ing, has no close market. While sew
eral of the larger cities require con
siderable produce for their local con-
sumption, yet in comparison with the
amount of produce grown on both If
rigated and dry land tributary to these
larger places, local consumption is
but a drop in the bucket.
Uniform Crops Necessary for Shipment
Therefore, to insure successful
marketing for the greatest profit, crops
must be grown in carload quantities.
And to do this best not only a few
farmers, but whole communities,
should determine which crop their
climatic, soil and marketing conditions
are best adapted to, and then produce
that one crop as major, using a good
crop rotation to keep their land up to
its standard of fertility while doing so.
Uniformity Increases Value of Crop to
Community.
Community production properly con-
Quoted should always insure a uniform
marketable product Buyers for the
larger markets buy and sell on close
margins. In order to insure ready
sales they must be able to secure uni
form high quality products in carload
quantities.
A farmers best returns are those
secured from the sale of the finished
product. No farmer or organization of
farmers can demand or even expect a
high price for mixed, inferior pro-
duct. The greatest value of commun-
ity production lies in their ability to
meet the demands of fancy trade. For
it is these markets that pay the highest
prices. Once community secures the
reputation of supplying the fancy
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1911-11-25

markets the other markets drop in line
because it pays to sell products that
have quality and a reputation behind
them.
Specialization Lowers Cost of PrOduc-
ton and Marketing.
By specializing on a certain crop a
community of farmers can cooperate
thus greatly reducing the cost of ma
chinery labor and marketing. Certain
crops demand special machines to
plant, spray, cultivate, harvest and
prepare for shipment, depending, of
course, on the crop and it's treatment
up to the time of shipment. Under
these conditions of shipment. Under
and operate expensive machinery.
Thus the cost of production can be
lowered by the use of fewer number
of high priced machines and farm
laborers. 1t is cheaper to maintain a
few outfits operating on large scale
than great number of smaller ones
operating individually. Uniform pro-
ducts can be loaded for shipment at
a much lower cost than a mixed PRO-
duct A fewer number of cars are re-
CURED and the treatment in transit is
correspondence less as the cars are
treated uniformly throughout.
Thus the necessities for specializa-
ton in crop production are:
(a) Shipment for Idaho products
must be made to larger markets.
(b) That uniform crops are neces-
sary to insure a better market
(c) Uniformity increases value of
crop to community.
(d) Cost of production and market
ing are lowered.

BRASS WIDOW IS
GIVEN FREEDOM

| eAAAAAA>
K. Morton, the "Brass Widow" was
acquitted of the charge of frad-
ulent use of the mails in conducting
an alleged matrimonial agency in St.
Louis, but she was Immediately re-
arrested to face an indictment in
Kansas City, where, as Mrs. Anna B.
Taylor, it is alleged she promoted a
"paintography and beauty parlor" and
defrauded Jesse E. Guy, J. j. Nee
han and w. S. Risden of $1700 under
the pretext she would marry them.
The jury was directed by United
States District Judge D. P. Dyer to
acquit.
United States District Attorney
Charles H. Daues, who represented
the government in the trial, said Mrs
Fannie K Morton could not be rein
dicted on the same charge.
THE defendant was not acquitted
on the ground that the indictment
was either insufficient or faulty he
said, "but because the testimony was
at variance with the charge alleged
in the indictment.
No Mail MatrimOny AID

Morton conducted her scheme in
manner entirely different from the
manner charged in the indictment. 1t

vertisements for partner to take an

no mention in the advertisement about
marriage
1.-THE proofs offered did not connect
the defendants matrimonial scheme
with the use of the United States
mails"
She was arraigned on hte new
charges before United States Commits
sioner W. E. Atkins, who set her pre-
liminary hearing for November II. He
fixed her bond at $500, which was fur
nished by John O. Wilson.
Judge Dyer sustained two of the
three objections based on the indict-
ment made by Horace L. Dyer, his
son, acting as attorney for Mrs. Nor
ton. One of these objections was the
that Mrs. Morton obtained |
money from Joseph Niemeier and 9TH
ers, while the indictment did not spec
ify who the Others" were Judge
Dyer also ruled the document should
have set forth that she promoted her
scheme by inserting advertisements
in newspapers.
THE evidence in this case shows"
Judge Dyer said, that practically, but
not legally, there was an outrageous
attempt to defraud. 1t shows more
men in this world l have no sym
)athy for this woman-she is to be

According to the Indictment re-
urned by the Kansas City federal
Grand jury, Mrs. Morton, as Mrs. Tay-
or, induced Guy to sell his farm for

business" new art
