pened that Mr.. Fleenor won
out in the mayoralty race.
The prophet of old explains
the situation when he said:
"And one shall say unto him,
what are these wounds in thine
handf Then he shall answer;
Those with which was
wounded in the house of my
friends" When applied to
this query, the passage has n
double Significance;
First, my friend, w. T. Also
yer inadvertently remarked
that Barron aud myself could
not both be elected, and that
lie, (Alsover,) was for Horton,
and against Barron. The enemy
heard this and hastened to
communicate the same to Mr..
Barron. who, by the way, al
ways opposed me and in the
councils that followed, result
cd;
Secondly, in the combina-
tion Of Fleenor aud Barron,
(Which combination was in
restraint of Horton votes not
withstanding every assurance
was given on the part of my.
self and friends, and of Mr..
Burgess aud his friends, that
such combination did not ex
list, neither expressed, or tacit-

friends knew it, and while they
professed friendship for me,

quotation: 81 will repay, saith

Mr. Editor, demand that those
who think that | would, or was
playing dirty politics, ask Mir
Alsover, Mr.. Burgess, or any
man in the town, and they will
make an affidavit that such n
thing was never mentioned
and 80 far as | know, was never

THE LOCAL TAX SITUATION.

From time to time complaints
against the assessment have been
registered with the Signal. but we
have refrained from comment for
the reason we thought 1t a little
early. 1t seems, however. the people
OF Washington county are going to
have an unnecessary burden thrust
upon them when compared with the
assessment OF some of the adjoin-
Ing counties. A gentleman was here
from American Falls a few days
since and informed one of Il citi-
zens that the wheat lands of his
section Were being assessed at from
$25 to $50 and the irrigated lands
at $50 to 800. Judge Smith, living
one mile from Caldwell, has 240
acres of the finest land in the state
He cut 700 tons of hay last fall.
and yet his land Is only assessed at
500 per acre while alfalfa lands in
this county are being assessed at
$500 per acre. In Adams county
orchard lands are being assessed at
800, and where n farm has a small
orchard no increase in the assess
ment Is made on account of the or
chard, At Payette bearing orchards
are being assessed at about $3.50,
while here they are being assessed
at $500.
These figures give some idea of
the inequality of assessments over
the state under the Hawley plan.
and should act As u warning to the
people of Washington county to
look out for their interests. 1t is
not only a question of whether our
people are going to submit to an
assessment of double that Of Can
yon and Adams counties. but already
the real estate men inform the Sig
nal. that basis of assessment Is be-
ing used by the land agents of those
counties to turn prospective buyers
from this county. without a single
dollar OF indebtedness there Is no
reason why our a levy should be
as heavy as that Of our neighbors
and they should not be given Il slo-
gan to use against us even for a
short time. We are In better shape
financially than any of them and wit

His witty Reply.

An English lady of title, while visit
ing Washington after the Gould.Dectes
wedding, which she had come over to
attend. was greatly surprised at the
public discussion over the smoking
of a cigarette by Lady Decies at the
window of her private car.
Il hear" said this lady. that for
some time to come. on account of this
incident, Lady Decies will be bothered
with letters Of criticism from stran.
gers and anti-cigarette leagues. The
American prejudice against women
smokers is extraordinary.
Il suppose, however" continued the
speaker, that there are anti-tobacco
faddists everywhere. / remember n
clever answer to one Of these faddists
made by Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. the
great preacher.
"A gentleman wrote to Mr.. spur.
geon. saying that he had heard he
smoked, and could net believe II IN
be true. Would Mr.. Spurgeon write
and tell him If 1t really was so? The
reply was:
Dear Sir: I cultivate nv aowsr.
and burn my weeds.-Yours truly q

FLOYD Il. WINTER DIsBARRED.

Had Trouble In Michigan Before LO.
eating at American Falls.
Never again can Floyd e. Winter
the American Falls attorney, pract-
ice law In the Fifth judicial district
| OF Idaho.
Yesterday District Judge Alfred
Bulge handed down a Judgment,
based on the findings of a commits
sion of attorneys named by him to
take testimony in the Winter dis
barment case, disbarring him.
The commission consisted of At
torneys Fl. v. A. Ferguson. of Poca-
tello, John w. Jones, of BlackfoOt,
and A. B. Cough. OF Montpelier The
commission met April Is, of this
year, and spent a week In hearing
testimony and considering documen-
tary evidence.
The commission found that on
June IA, 1907. In the circuit court
Of Montcalm county. Michigan, At
torney Winter, then a practicing at
torney there, was found guilty of
extortion and fined $3.50, in default
of which he was sentenced to serve
six months in Jail.
In his Judgment of disbarment,
Judge Bulge says:
Said record of moral terpitude
stood against said Winter at the
time he applied to the supreme
court of the state Of Idaho for ad-
mission to the bar of the state, and
the fact of such record was con-
cealed.
ut is therefore ordered, adjudg-
ed and decreed that the said Floyd
e. Winter be. and he is hereby dis
barred and prohibited from the prac-
tice of law within the Fifth Judicial
district of the state of Idaho and
his lame is hereby stricken from
the roll of attorneys and counsel
Tors in this district"
Alleged Irregularities in Attorney
Winters methods of handling cases
a resident of American Falls
were brought to the attention of
local attorneys by clients in the Pow.
err city. Investigations followed and
disbarment proceedings were begun.
The disbarred attorney Is no rela-
tive of and has no connection with S.

The Signal need not be alarmed
about the irrigated lands In this sec
ton. These are new lands, nearly
all part or wholly in sagebrushs and

any case Payette orchard lands will
sell readily for three times the as

WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

The assessor Of Bingham county
announces that he will reduce thu
assessed valuations OF lands In tina
county from a fourth to a third
The credit for this action can not
be. traced to those who patted him
on the back for raising valuations,
nor to those who grumbled under
their breath. 1t belongs to those
who had the courage of their con
v%ictions. and publicly gave express
sion to them. Had the Inconsistent
cies Of his assessments gone un-
challenged, they would have stood
as made. and the farmers of that
county would have had to shoulder
an unjust and an unnecessary bur-
den. and It Is not yet certain that
valuations are not too high. The
only safeguard Is In the watchful-
ness Of the farmers themselves. A
majority. of the county board of
equalization owes It's authority to
the chief exponent of this high val
uati0n fad. and can not be looked
to with the same assurance as II
elected. Bearing this In mind the
farmers should not be slow to pro-
test II they consider that valutions
are still to high. An enthusiast for
any principle is rarely a safe guide.
The total valuation OF Bingham
last year was $5,680,08O. Bonne-
willie county was created from 1t, tax
Ing about three fifths OF the valua-
II the valuation OF the remain
Ing part of the county Is jumped to
$4,000 600. as the assessor claims
L will be after he makes his pro-
posed reductions. It is clear that
people OF that county have not
been paying their just proportion of
in the past. or else the assess
nent Is still plenty high.
