of coming at this time as
because OF the great possibilities that
may be Drought to light as a result
o. their coming.
There is an enormous amount of
fcothill land in this country that
awaits settlement Much of the land
has been farmed to an extent for
years. But it has never been closely
farmed and it is but sparsely set
tied. So the foothill districts offer
rich inducements for colonists.
Realty concerns that do colonial
ton work could find great field in
the settlement of foothill lands and
OF the fertile prairie lands lying in
the best sections of this county. In
the foothill sections especially the
land is held at very reasonable fig
ures and it may be had at prices new
comers may we'll afford to pay. Fur
thermore newcomers of the right sorc
may go upon this land and make
splendid profits. The soil and the
rainfall are such that annual crops
may be raised and the country is well
adapted to intensified farming.
If Messrs Bentley and Davis do not
succeed in bringing their friends and
their families to Cabbage Hill it will
be well for local people to ascertain
why and to see If more effective work
cannot be done towards the coloni-
aotion of the foothill lands. This
county wants more people and just
IT present the irrigated sections and
tie foothills seem to offer the best
inducements for newcomers.

many positions Of honor and trust

TODAY,S BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

General Benjamin Franklin Tracy,
ex-secretary of the navy and one of
the most distinguished lawyers in the
United States, is eighty-one years old
today. He was born in Oswego, New
York, April &c, 1880, and has been
in public life for nearly sixty years.
He was educated at Oswego Acad-
emy from which he graduated at the
age of twenty-one, being admitted to
the bar almost Immediately after
ward. AS soon as he established
himself as a lawyer, he plunged into
politics, so that two years after he
was admitted to the bar, Tracy
found himself running for district

COMING INTO LINE.

When public control Of corporations
was first advocated the idea aroused
bitter opposition from the capitalistic
class and there is still opposition from
that source. But evolution is gradu-
ally doing away with such opposition
and it is significant that some big
masters of capital and industry are
now favoring governmental control.
In statement issued by James J.
Hill and which is released today the
following sentiment is expressed:
'sThe people are entitled to know
what the public service corporations
are doing and the conditions under
which they transact business. I have
believed in and advocated publicity
OF corporation affairs for many years.
When the public becomes conversant
with corporation affairs and is con-
vinced that it is seeing from the in
side, much of the feeling against the
great business concerns will pass
away. That will be one of the effects
Of publicity"
Regarding the control of corpor-
ations Mr.. Hill says:
"a corporation is a piece of paper
bearing the stamp and seal of the
state. It's life is created by the peo
pie and naturally the people should
have some word in making the rules
under which it transacts business
That proposition is one I have preach
ed for years and now 1 am glad to
see it making headway among COM
mon carrier corporations. Last week
President Nudge Of the Rock Island
railroad declared for public control
OF railroads; George NJ. Reynolds,
president Of the Continental and Com
mercial National bank Of Chicago did
the same thing the week before; T.
n Vail, president Of the American
Telephone and Telegraph recently
made an official report to his board
OF directors in which he took firm
stand for both publicity and public
control"
It is well that the captains Of in
dustry have resigned themselves to
the idea Of public control for public
control is,coming and it is coming to
stay. Public service corporations are
entitled to fair returns on their in
Yestments and for the work they do
They are entitled to no more. The
mammoth fortunes that have been
made and are being made now through
excessive profits due to unjust ma
nipulatons and to unrestrained mon
opolies have been wrongfully gotten.
The wealth represented by those for
tunes should have been divided among
the people by giving the people just
rates.
The railroads and other great cor
rorations must prepare for regulation
and regulation Of an effective sort
They have right TO expect and de-
mand fair treatment for themselves
but they must grant the same to the
public The world was not intended
for the use Of few, but for many.

MAKING \ MISTAKE.

Why should organized labor be
rallied to the defense of the McNa-
maras and asked to contribute en-
ormous sums for their defense? Sure
iy organized labor does not uphold
The dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building. That crime was the
worst blow ever struck at labor in the
west. When labor leaders urge their
followers TO stand for the acquittal of
the men accused they show wretched
judgment They should let the law
take its course and if the McNamaras
are found guilty laboring men as well
as others should demand their pun
ishment. AS a matter of fact the un-
ionists might we'll lead in encourag-
ing the prosecution of the dynamiters
The victims of the Times outrage
We're employees. For the most part
they were reporters and men in the
mechanical department. Some of the
mechanical men We're unionists. None
of the owners of the Times were in the
building. General Otis chief owner,
was not the real victim at all. The
sufferers may be found among the
widows and orphans -of the employees
who We're slain.
The labor leaders are making a
grave mistake in the course they are
taking. Labor unionism cannot sue
ceed by going hand in hand with an
archy.

PAINFUL INJURY.

S. w. Edmiston, manager OF
the local Kerr-Gifford warehouse,
received serious injury last
evening while opening a bale of
sacks at the warehouse. AS the
last band on the bale was broken
it flew back and the ragged edge
of the baling iron struck Mr..
Edmiston in the palm of the
right hand, cutting a deep hole
and severing the tendon of one
finger. After having the hand
dressed Mr.. Edmiston and wife
boarded a passing auto and went
to Grangeville where DR.. Camp
bell dressed the wound and sew
ed the severed tendon together.
1t will be some time before Mr..
Edmiston will be able to use the
hand again and if he escapes
without stiffened or badly
drawn finger he will be very for
unate.-Cottonwood Chronicle.

GEO. X. REED LOSES EYE

George Reed, who has been
suffering agonies of pain with
his eye ever since he made trip
to Grangeville some 3 weeks ago
or more, at which time he got
some foreign object in it, be-
sides taking a severe cold which
seemed to settle in it, has finally
lost sight of the eye entirely.
On Sunday morning while stand
ing before the dresser the pupil
fell from the eye. 1t is hoped
the other eye will now become
all right again, as probably the
pain felt in it has been sympa-
thetic, and the pain is not so
great now as it has been in the
diseased eye. Mr.. Reed has the
sympathy of many friends in
his affliction.-Kamiah Progress.

DELINQUENT TAX LAWS In
NEED OF RADICAL REVISION

Thompson was notified of the
fact and advised that if he cared
to continue the case it would be
carried through all the courts in
the state and more if necessary.
However, he was satisfied to com
promise the matter by having
Becker pay him the actual costs
with accrued interest, which he
had expended to get his title.
This was done and Mr.. Becker
luckily got out of the bad mess
with a comparatively light cost.
Here was a piece of land, some
of the finest in the Palouse coun-
try, worth $4,000 which was sold
for the insignificant sum of $50,
by county, which through our
lack of proper legislation, was
legally sold, legally purchased
and could have been made to
stick, had it not been for flaw
in the advertising. With a | cent
postal card, the county assessor
could have notified Mr.. Becker
that his taxes were delinquent in
1907, and the matter could have
been Strengthened up at once.
But the law does not compel the
county assessor to do this, nor do
county assessors make practice
of so doing, and consequently he
cannot be held blameable. How
ever, we need that provision in
the law, compelling the county
assessor to notify all property
holders who are delinquent. 1t
is shame and disgrace upon
the name of this fair state to al
low any such transaction as took
place in Lewiston when this $12,
900 property sold for $50, and we
believe that the interest aroused
in Latah county by these two
cases will require the Legislative
nominees from this county to
bind themselves to change this
law. Under the present condi
lions it makes the county Officers
accomplices of a dirty transac
ton, and one, which we are
proud to say, no jury in Uncle
Sam s domain, would sustain fol
one minute. 1t is time to put ;
stop to this underhand work, anC
we believe Latah will take thu
initiative in the 1912 campaign.

Genesee News: A land case
almost parallel to that printed
in last weeks News, concerning
the sale of a large tract of land
on Bear Creek, belonging to Mr..
John M. Fix, and which is now
claimed by Ii. N. Gray, who holds
a tax title, has recently come to
light here. The land in question
is the property of Ernest Becker
three miles south OF here in Nez
Perez county.
1t seems that in 1907, Mr..
Becker who is one of the top
notch" farmers in the Genesee
country, bought this fine farm Of
100 acres from his father, f. E.
Becker of this city, having pre-
viously rented it. Prior to this
time +. 4. Becker had been pay
ing the taxes on the land, but
after transferring the deed to his
son, naturally concluded that he
would pay the taxes, and the son,
in turn, was of the opinion that
his father had paid the county
assessor as usual. However, the
year slipped by without this of
ficer of Nez Perez county hav-
ing received the tax money on
this property, and he proceeded,
to duly advertise said property
for sale for taxes. The taxes
were paid, however, for 1908,
1909 and 1910, Mr.. Becker, hav-
ing receipts for the same. A
few weeks ago, in the middle Of
July, Mr.. Becker received notice
from Mr.. Thompson of Lewis
ton, !ha; he had paid the taxes OF
this lad for 1907, amounting to
something over 500, and that af-
ter 3 years he had been given a
tax title by the county and claim
ed ownership of the land. Mr.,
Becker was more than surprised
at receiving such a communities
ton, and Immediately began an
investigation, when he found
that he had not paid the 1907
taxes. He took the matter be
fore prominent attorney il
Lewiston, and after looking VI
all the records, it was discovered
that the advertising of the lane
had not been proper, mad Mr.
