WHY SUMMER FALLOW LAND?

The day of summer following land
around Moscow is doomed. 1t does
not pay. The farmer cannot afford to
lose the use of valuable land every
third season. And experience shows
it is not necessary to do SO. 1t has
been demonstrated beyond doubt that
corn will mature here, and that it pays.
There are other crops besides corn if
that does not suit the farmer. He can
put his land into clover or alfalfa, or
roots; he can raise valuable crops of
onions, potatoes AND cabbage. He can
make big interest from carrots. There
are numerous crops that will pay,
while the farmer who summer falloYs
not only does not make interest on
the investment, but is actually out.
Probably the best crop that can be
profitably handled on large tracts is
Canadian field peas. Here is some
thing that is frost-proof, yields abund-
antly, and leaves the land enriched. 1t
is one of the best stock foods in the
world Yet how many acres of field
peas were grown in Latah county last
year? There were, however, thous-
ands of acres Of summer fallowed land. |

1t must be admitted that where one
man is attempting to farm large tracts,
say above half section, diversified
farming is out of the question, except
on a small part of his farm. He can
not handle anything like so much
when planted to cabbage, onions, car
rots, or some other of the many di-
versified crops. He can handle large
fields of potatoes. But the point we
desire to make is that the solution of
the question, How to make it pay on
high-priced land" is found in smaller
farms with intensive farming. 1t will
reduce taxes it will enable the farmer
to farm better; it will increase the net
profits, and work out to the advantage
of the community. 1t will make more
business. 1t will make possible a
public road system that would, were
the expense borne by few, be an in
tolerable burden.

DOES BOOSTING PAY?

The higher the price of land tn
more diversity of crops will be essen
tial, and the less land one man cal
afford to own. For this reason tn,
Star-Mirror would suggest that as {
plain business proposition the business
men of Moscow ought to see thai
money spent in boosting, whereby
land values are doubled or trebled, OF
even more, is the best investment that
can be made. Think this over and
figure on it.
Let us take, for illustration, one
farm we know of, located near Moscow,
and owned by one man. There is more
than $40 acres in this ranch. And yet
it supports one lone family The owner
is not making in excess of six per
cent on a valuation of $50 per acre.
He raises two crops of wheat and one
of summer fallow. He Is fair type
of the old time Palouse farmer. He
does not believe that it pays to raise
anything but wheat, and he couldn't
if he did on such a large farm. Now
suppose we cut this $40 acres up into
forty-acre tracts and place family on
each tract This would mean sixteen
families, or sixteen times as many GUS
toners as we have today on this land.
Would this mean anything to the bust
ness men Of Moscow? Is there one so
blind and dense that he cannot see
that from the most selfish standpoint
it will pay him to contribute to every
movement that promises results?
All experts estimate that the average
family is worth in a business way to a
town at least one thousand dollars per |
year. If we take half of this as a |
basis let us see what 100 families add
ed to this community mean to the bust
ness men of Moscow. Will it not total
$4,000? The recognized basis would
be 100000. Now what, as financial
is this business worth?
And who is ready to say that it does
not pay to boost? What of the mer-
chant who says: "It don't pay?"
Who can estimate the value to Mos
cow alone of the recent exhibit at the
Spokane Interstate fair, with all the
publicity that it gave us? Who can
estimate the value of creditable ex-
ibit at the coming apple show? These
Kings are so important that they
ought to have the enthusiastic and
pontaneous support of the citizens of
his community, and this includes
theirs besides our merchants. So gen.
raj is the resultant benefits that the
lst way would be to pay the expense
ut of county funds. 1t would be the
My fair way. People would pay pro-

Still One Danger.

There appears but one danger on the
tax horizon that may upset the con-
tention of these counties, and that is
that some taxpayer may attack the tax
levy upon the ground that the school
levy should have been made at some
amount between five and ten mills, up
on the contention that the supreme
court decision did not fix the school
levy between five and ten mills.
In the meantime the counties that
were not involved in the test case and
which cut the levy are proceeding to
collect only the levy they set. When
Attorney General D. c. McDougall re-
ceived the supreme court decision he
sent out kilograms wherein he quoted
that part which held it mandatory to
place the levy at not less than five
mills
The same decision states that
Where boards of county commission
ers have not complied with the provi-
SIGNS of said section, they ought to
comply Herewith at once, or as soon
as possible" 1t is claimed by many
that this statement of the supreme
court is emphatic and includes each of
the 81 counties in the state. Others
contend that the supreme court does
not say shall and that it is not man
datory.
Should the counties which have cut
the levy proceed to collect taxes at the |
cut rate, and it is held no levy is legal !
Unless that it is not at least the mini |
mum of five mills, there is possibility
hat taxpayers may take the stand |
hey will refuse to pay nothing but the
egal levy and some of the counties
nay, therefore, find themselves with
tut a school fund to meet their cur
ent school expenses.

TAX MIDDLE PUZZLES
BOISE LEGAL TALENT

BOISE, Nov. 9.-Can those counties
in this state which levied less than g
five-mill tax for school purposes
and which were not directly involved
in the test case appealed to the SUI
preme court, take advantage III the
failure on the part of the taxpayer to
appeal from their levy decision within
the prescribed statutory time, 20 days,
and completely ignore the decision
of the high tribunal of this state?
This is question that has been pro
pounded to Attorney General d. G.. Nc
Dougall. He states lie has not official
ly answered it. Counties which have
levied less than the five-mill tax, where
no appeal has been taken, may find
themselves without a school tax fund
at all if they do not boost their levy
tc the five mills indicated by the SUI
preme court According to this decis-
ion it is mandatory to levy five mills
This was the opinion Of Judge Carl
Davis of the district court and the SUI
pi .me court ali rmed his ruling.
Mix-up Seems General.
Very few counties of this state levied
rhe full five mills. The majority of |
them levied mucn smaller tax or only |
taxed the people enough to support |
their schools, and thereby avoided the !
accumulation of surplus. There were
but two counties involved in the cases
appealed to the supreme court. Ada
and Kootenai. In both cases the rul
ng of the respective boards of COM
nissioners to levy less than five mills
or school purposes was attacked with
n the limit of 20 days prescribed by
aW. The issues, which was merely +
whether the boards had this right or it
vas mandatory they should not go
,elow the minimum, or five mills, was I
Iecided in favor of the latter conten- {
ion in the district court and the man l
atory feature sustained in the SUI l
rene court. t
Now some of those counties, notably t
}onner, where the commissioners lev |
ed less than the five mills, or two L

OF included in the test case, take the +

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Leaders
Of the Chinese revolution at a meeting
at headquarters in Shanghai decided
to discard the name Chung Hwa re-
public, originally adopted and to take

to dispatches received here. The
name Sin How means New Chinese; "
Chung Hwa, middle Flowery' and
they decided the former was more APP
propriate.

argument seems unsound AS long as
the Chinese are denied, self-govern-
ment, they will remain unprepared
for it. When it is granted them-or
perhaps, say, now that they have tA-
ken it themselves they will soon
have prepared themselves for the task.

tually fallen, and l declare allegiance

PURE FOOD INSPECTION.

James H. Wallis, state pure food in
spector, reached Moscow this morning

most extensive and successful raids
result of his work seventeen business
men walked into court yesterday in
| Lewiston and plead guilty to viola
| ton of the pure food law and sanitary
regulations. Among these were some
of the most prominent business mon
in that city. The Raymond hotel was
ounce of food found in the place being
condemned because it was kept in I'M
sanitary condition. Today the hotel is
being renovated and will hereafter be
run in conformity with the law The
public will not be imposed upon.
Mr. Wallis is accompanied by Dep
uty Inspector DR.. N. w. Smith. and
today they are starting their campaign
against violators of the law among
Moscow business men. The inspection
will include such things as unsanitary
toilets, and any who have not complied
with the law will have no cause TOR
complaint if they get caught.
In this connection it is but just to
remark that the pure food laws have
now been on the statute books for sew
eral years; it is well understood that |
these laws are being rigidly enforced: |
that for once we have a state official |
brave enough to do his duty impair
TALLY, and is doing it, All this is
common knowledge. 1t is known that
it is violation of the law to sell
short weight goods; that all food FRO
ducts must be plainly branded and
honest. 1t is known that it is VIOLA
ton to adulterate Vinegar must be
what it purports to be. Tomato cat
sup must contain only certain per
cent of preservatives. The subject
night be extended indefinitely. The
knows these things, or
'ught to, and every business should s
now that it is violation of the {
aw to expose food products where t
hey may be contaminated The hotels S
nd restaurants know that they are ]
expected to keep their kitchens sani- t
airy. They know that the life and
ealth of guests must be safeguarded.
hey know that fire escapes must be
rovided, and that toilets must be up +
, certain standard. S
There is not a provision of the law I
lat is not based on good public policy. O
is the most important law ever n
assed by any legislature from the v
sginning of organized society. The 7
sst evidence Of this is in the things Y
yealed when the law is enforced. II
If this is true, and who will deny it, q
hat do we owe to this man Wallis? u
is duty is often unpleasant; he is n
,mpelled to fight, but he does his duty Il
it'll a fearlessness that is worthy the II
CHEST commentator and praise. AS u

me educated to the dangers of food OF
