TURkO-lTAIiAN WAR.

ROME, Oct. 81. Aviation tri-
umphed in grim battle today. The
Italians won in a terrific struggle
with the Turks on the plains south
OF Tripoli under the direction of
their chief signal officer. in a mill
tary aeroplane. The rejoicing over
ltaly's success ON land mingles to-
night with expressions OF wonder
that the aeroplane's practical utility
in warfare has been demonstrated.
Swooping like a gigantic hawk,
beyond the range of field guns, the
machine glided under the perfect
control of skilled lieutenant of
the aviation corps as he followed the
progress of the fighting beneath him.
He communicated information to the
officers below by code OF signals.
1t was evident that this new
method OF warfare worried the
Turks. The Italians drove them from

THE FISHER ALASKA POLICY

CHICAGO. Oct. 81. - The Alaska
Policy" speech was delivered tonight
by Secretary Fisher before the Amer
lean Mining congress. 1t proved to
be the identical policy advocated
by Colonel Roosevelt and Clifford
Pinchot. Secretary Fisher prefaced
his speech with the statement that
he had the consent of President
Taft to present his proposals to con-

Briefly. it is proposed that the
government open up the Matanuska
coal fields. north of Seward and
conduct those fields as an expert
mental model. The government will
build its own railway from Seward
to the coal fields. and will mine
and ship coal for the use of the
navy. After some experience in the
first experiment. the government will
then take up the policy in other coal
districts in Alaska.
The administration will represent

Cash Value Assessment Brings
Out Much Property.
0vERHAUuNG REVENUE LAWS
Next Year Even Better Results
are Assured.

Boise, Idaho, September 5.-In the
matter of full cash value assessment
it is evident that Governor Hawley
has successfully inaugurated a great
reform that will be of undoubted
benefit to the state.
In times past there has been every
reason for each assessor to strive to
see how low he could make the as
sessment in order that his county
might not have to pay an undue
share Of the state taxes. This sys-
tenn brought the total assessment to
an absurdly low figure, and of course,
aided and abetted the large property
owners in dodging their share of the
taxes, while the man who owned
merely his own home was unjustly
mulcted.
In demanding the enforcement of
the law providing for assessments at
full cash value Governor Hawley has
remedicd the evil and inaugurated a
movement that will result in a general
overhauling of the revenue laws of
the state, and in this work he should
have the earnest support Of every
citizen. Idaho's revenue laws are
woefully out Of date and should be
brought in line with the laws of the
most progressive states.
1t is the intention of the Governor
to follow up the advance made this
year and to insure even better results
in next years assessment. He has
proposed that the Board of Equaliza-
ton employ two capable men, whose
business it would be, commencing in
February next, to examine the vari-
GUS classes of property in each of the
counties, come to a conclusion as to
values, ETC., and report fully to the
Board at the 1912 meeting. BY SC
doing the various classes Of property
would be considered in the severa
counties from the same standpoint ant
a proper ratio would be maintained il
the different counties upon each clas
E of property. He also suggests tina
the persons SO appointed should confe
f with county assessors and commits
sioners and outline the proper method
, of procedure for assessment purpose
and carefully examine into propertie
. heretofore escaping taxation, and tn
Governor is convinced that the in
creased amount of taxation receive
from property not now on the ta
9 rolls would more than pay all th
J, expenses Of such employees. TIL
:, matter will be taken up later, and 9
|, each member of the Board has sign
n fed his assent, the Governor
l. views on the subject will undoubte

CARNIVAL AND HARVEST FESTIVAL-SEE DATES LATER

Andrew Gilbert, who was sentenced
to life for the murder of Smith near
Harpster, was permitted to escape
from the penitentiary, and it is under
stood that no earnest effort was ever
made to recapture him.
Bert Rhodes, who was sent for
highway robbery, and the shooting
and attempted killing of the post,
master at Denver was paroled by the
board prior to the expiration of his
sentence.
Within the last two or three months
this board has commuted the sentence
Of Joseph Sorrow, sentenced for life
for the killing of Marshal Williams
in Grangeville to sentence of fifteen
years, and the people confidently
expect his release at much earlier
date.
The cases to which | have called
your attention, are only in Idaho
county. The other four counties of
this district have Jared similarly in
proportion. Payne Sly, who murder
ed the Marshal of Troy, in Latah
county and was sentenced for life, is
now at liberty upon parol.
John Knudson, who set fire to a
building to recover insurance money,
and was found guilty Of arson, and
sentenced to six years, was soon after
ward paroled by the board.
| have had scores of citizens say to
me "What is the use of spending our
money in sending men to Boise? They
will only stay there short time"
During the last twelve years have
spent of the money Of the people Of
Idaho county over fifty thousand
dollars in the prosecution of criminals,
and not murmur has been heard.
In my judgment, there is no more
law-abiding, law-enforcing citizens on
the face of the earth than are to be
found in the citizenship of this county
Permit me to suggest that if courts
are to enforce the law, the board of
pardons should take reef in its sail,
and see whittier it is tending.
shall appreciate every effort made
by you as governor of this state in
giving me assistance in the apprehen-
sion Of the men who have brought this
foul disgrace upon the county and
state.
You have but entered upon the
duties of your important Office, having
only held the position and been a
member Of the board of pardons fol
the period Of eight months. You,
education as a lawyer and your past
life shows you to be man who be
lieves in the enforcement of the law
and | have every confidence and every
hope that you will aid in correcting
the evils which | believe exist, anc
