IDAHO TO INVESTIGATE.

We are glad to see, as VIC do by the
report from our special correspondent
at Boise, that the Idaho Legislature is
about to investigate the allegations OF
mismanagement of public affairs by
State officials. A resolution has been
introduced by Representative Black OF
kootenaj county, calling for an inve5-
resolution is broad in its expression, and
would be comprehensive in scope in
case it werc adopted. The House adopt
ed Mr.. Black S resolution unanimously,
and the Senate referred it to it's State
Affairs committee. The probability is
that the resolution will be reported in
due season and adopted by both
branches of the Idaho Legislature
A suggestion is made in the dispatch
that the Senate may propose COM

members of the Legislature, this com

cal nature of that sentiment, nor AS
TO the soundncss Of tho position and
the aptnoss of the language used to
describe IT.,
The Tribune is rcioiced to see that
the wool. growers Of this Western
country arc waking up to the true po'
sition in which the bunko tariff law
has placed them. They arc being
crowded Of the ranges under pre-
tense of forestry administration,
where these ranges by the scores of
square miles have not a tree on them,
never had any trees on them, and
never will have any trees on them.
The prctensc Of forestry in connection
with those grazing areas is the
sheerest humbug, well known to be
so by the shcepmcn, and we'll known
to be so, also, by the forestry service.
But with that service it is not "A qucs-
ton Of forcstation at all. but one Of
collecting fees for grazing privileges.
z thing which is absolutely foreign
to the forestry idea, and which, If
thoroughly acted upon throughout all
this mountain region, would require
the cutting down of all the forests. so
that grass might grow more freely and
more grazing tax be collected. But
however that may be, il is certain
that the forestry service would look
upon the forestation Of these grazing
areas as an unmi1ed calamity. The
foresters don't want forestation, and
right there is where they are to be
condemned, and where the sheepmcn
have them on the hip.

THE SHEEPMEN'S TALK.

The discussion Of tho shcepmen in
Oregon. is decidedly racy; and most
of it is sound. The talk of MIR. Peter
c. johnson, Of Blackfoot. was sound
enough and ingenious, so far as 1T
related to the Biblical prccedents and
the naming of illustrious shepherds,
II was also pertinent and solid where
he objected 10 the Roosevelt policies
and the control of the Western ranges
by Eastern sentiment, and by Eastern
people who know nothing about the
practical conditions involved. But
when he proceeded to say that the
present wool tariff is not enough, and
should be raised, he got on slippery
ground The trouble with the present
tariff is not that il is not high enough,
but that il turns the wool-raisers over
to the tender mcrcies of the wool
manufacturers, who fix the price of
wool. and fix it in the interest Of their
factories instead Of the interest of The
growers of wool. AS their organ ex,
pressly stated last year, the manu-
facturers want to get their raw
material at what they call "fair
prices These "fair prices have
not been to the satisfaction Of the
wool growers, who in this State, as in
other parts of the West. have com.
bined TO obtain storage facilities for
| their wool in Eastern cities, where
they could hold it at as little cost as
possible, for an improvement in the
quotations for wool. This hope OF
better prices for wool grows DINNER
and DINNER each year, as the more and
more complete control of the market by
| the woolen manufacturers combine Is
made increasingly evident. Those
manufacturers know their advantage
! however, aud are not slow TO press
it. What the wool growers need TO do
is to have something to say about the
wool prices themselves,

OBLIGATION TO ACCOUNT.

IT is-a common thing to hear said
that of the making of books there is
no end But il has been the privilege
Of Judge John H. Booth Of Provo TO
demonstrate that Of knowledge of the
law and justice there arc ranges
that transcend conceptional possibility
of the uninspred mind.
Judge Booth, as our report has 1t,
made uticrauce in the trial OF a dram
age case in which he sat, declaring the
statute unconstitutional. Concerning
certain phases of tho case he said:
And there is another thing. the Court
takes IL. as almost reaching the consti-
tutionality OF the law. 1t has not been
raised I'm the argument on either side.
| That is, no report is required. They
can eNpend the money without reporting

specific purposes. yet no one can ques-

good thing for the country. il ought to

| court therefore holds that the law is
unconstitutional, and the injunction will
be made permanent
Judge Booth, God bless his heart,
seems to have got bit tangled. In

good Judge has paid his tithing many
time, and that he has not even ex-
pected an accounting from the parties
to whom he paid il. 1t seems, though,
that circumstance of that sort, rs
affecting some other business institu-
ton aside from the church secrecy, is
most to be condemned.
A wonderful remedy is suggested by
the Judge, however, in his determination
that "the court thinks it is better
to call it up and have it decided before
the Legislature meets and have it

Happy are we to be able at this time
TO congratulate Judge Booth upon his

to felicitatc the State of Utah upon

NO GENERAL METERING !

The Tribune printed yesterday morn
ing a symposium Of views of citizens of
salt Lake on the question of whether
there should be general water meter
system installed throughout this city or
not The emphatic preponderancc of
opinion is decidedly against general me.
tering. With this sentiment The Tribune
cmpha tically comedies. We have never
at any time favored the general meter
ing of the city. We think that the
rost would be far beyond any benefit
reasonably to he expected from it at
this time
We recognize the strength of the po
Gates of the meter system, and it may
be that we shall have to come to that
in the eud, as some of them say At
present. however. we believe that the
city is better off without the general
installation Of meters. The heavy users
of water already receive their water
by meter: and as soon as any concern
takes enough water TO make il worth
while. we believe meter should be in
stalled. But for the general residence
districts of the city, we think the
expense is entirely beyond the value of
any saving of water that could be eff
fectcd
The aim of the proposition to have
a general meter system in the city was,
as announced in the Council. TO get
after the water hog 1t is surely
to be desired that those who steal wa
ter should be caught, and properly dealt
with by the law and the ordinance.
But it is not fair to impose irksomc
disabilities on all the people merely TO
| get at those who transgrcss the law.
Such is not the common practice. The
effort of all punitive statutes is to get
after those who violate them, not TO get
after the community at large, nor to
impose burdens on innocent persons.
| The idea that Jones, let us say. must
he obliged to put in a meter, because
Smith in some part of the city is steal
| ing water, is not defensiblc PROPOSE
ton. What ought TO he done is to catch
Smith at his stealing, and so shut him
of that he will not be able to steal
any more. There is considerable mum.
Der Of water inspectors, and VIC have
a fair-sized and efficient police force
Usually the stcalcr Of water can be
detected, and there should be no cnity
for him if lie persists in his thicvcry.
There are those who take OF the
nozzle and let the hose run open all
night, or good part Of the night in
hope OF escaping detection; but the
gurgling Of the water is always give.
away. And the inspectors or police
can unerriDgly detect that kind OF
theft. Another way OF detection is that
very frequently those who steal water
allow it TO overflow on the sidewalk
or into the street. That, also, is a give
away of the thief We may make q
