LATIN WASTE OF TIME
President of Spokane School Board
Would Substitute Agriculture.

"VuAO ouU0IAIuSC <Ak1 AOO4IukCs
That the majority Of boys 10 the
high school who are studying Latin
and kindred subjects are practically
wasting their time 10 case they do
not attend college and that they
should be permitted to take instruc.
tion 10 agriculture aud tree pruning
instead. is the belief of f. P. Greene,
president of the Spokane school
board, who is preparing to petition
the board to ask for the teaching of
the subjects next year.
II am convinced that the sugges-
tions OF the National Educational
association in urging the more practi
cal education can not be taken too
seriously" said Mr.. Gre last week.
when we realize that only a small
per cent OF the high school students
take college course and the remain
der must make their way we can not
treat this matter with indifference.
Il consider Latin one of the least
import ant subjects where the child is
not preparing for college. II the
child can only take year 10 botany
and then leave school work he might
well have spent his time at something

CAUSE OF HIGH TAXES
As Given in Governors Message
to Legislature.


With his message to the special
session OF the legislature, Governor
IIawley submitted table comparing
the valuations aud tax levies Of all
the counties for the years 1909, 1910
and 1911. The table shows that in
1910 the total assessed valuation OF
the state was 1927. .056. .075.46, that
the average state and county levy was
20.7 mills, and the amount of state
and county taxes raised was S3,2S6..
557.78.
For the year 1911 the assessed val
uation was 1929. .7Sl.l1, the
average state and county levy IA 5
mills, raising state and county taxes
to the amount OF $4,557, 796 81, or
$i,27l,139 more than the amount
raised in 1910.
Commenting on the table the gov.
ernor's message said in part:
"This record shows that 10 Ban
mock. Bear Lake, Custer and Twin
Falls counties there has been a raise
Of approximately As per cent in 1911
over 1910 for state and county pur-
poses. In Boise, Elmore and Lemhi
the raise has been between 30 and 35
per cent, while in Canyon it has been
48 per cent, 10 Kootenai Sc per cent,
In Latah SO per cent and in Blaine So
per cent. Oneida, with a raise of 1S
per cent, Shoshone of % per cent and
OwYhee Of q per cent. make a
tolerably fair showing, while Bonner,
Cassia and Idaho show practically
the same as heretofore and the raise
is 90 greater than the increase of
state expenses would warrant. FIRE.
mont county shows $l70,569 raised
this year, as against $2Os, 5s2 in 1910,
and shows what careful management
will do for the taxpayers benefit.
THAT there is something radically
wrong Ia system that permits the
tax rate In the several counties for
state and county purposes to vary
from mills as it is in Fremonl to
2l3 mills as 1t is in Lemhi, can hard
ly be questioned. AS the state tax is
practically 3 mills only. the fault can.
not be charged to the state officers.
1t rests upon the county and NUM-
cipal authorities alone, although
regret to say some of them have
tried to convey differentimpression.
The need of proper restriction of the
power to levy Is shown conclusively
by these figures.
IAN increase of course was to be
expected, both because there was az
additional amount OF over 5000, ,O0(
raised for state purposes, and the cos
OF maintaining some OF the count,
governments. especially the new
counties, was increased, but ther,
can be no excuse given for an increas,
of 81, ,271,l3 over 1910, an increas,
of over 38 per cent"

VETOED NEW REVENUE BILL
Whole Loaf or None For Cover
nor Havley.
WORK OF soLoNs uNDoyE
House Makes Final Effort to Get
Remedial Legislation.

Inc new revenue Dill drafted by
the republican members OF the
legislature and passed by both
houses of that body last week was
vetoed by Governor Hawley last
Monday, thus practically undoing
all that the legislature had accom-
plished, since the special session
was convened January
The revenue bill recommended
by the governor was defeated. A
substitute, the bill vetoed, made
no provision for state tax COM
mission demanded by the governor,
and fixed the taxable value at 40
per cent of its real value instead
Of at its full cash value.
Senator Potts of Kootenai coun-
ty, one of the republican conferees
in the effort to secure a satisfactory
compromise, speaking of Governor
Hawley's veto message, said he
believed the governor had no other
intention.
The veto, although expected by
some members, come as a shock
to the majority of the legislature,
who had the impression that the
governor would be satisfied with
"half loaf rather than no bread"
The republicans Of both house
and senate met in caucus Monday
night, and the house republicans,
after considerable discussion, de-
cided to make one more effort at
securing remedial legislation.
On the goth, failing by a few
votes to pass the revenue bill over
the governors veto, the house of
representatives passed compro-
mise revenue bill. The compro.
mise features are said to be i'm.
material, however and the bill is
essentially the same as bill No. 81,
which the governor vetoed.
The senate passed joint
memorial to congress urging that
the Underwood tariff bill, reducing
the tariff on lead, should not be
passed, claiming that the passage
of the bill as proposed would re-
suit in the destruction of the lead
mining industry in this state.
Senator Poole, one of those who
voted against the resolution, de-
clared that the claims that the
Underwood bill would seriously
hurt the lead mining industry were
/ not we'll founded.

PROE,ouA TALKS FARMING
Tells About Agricultural COL
leee on Wheels.
AND RECENT INSTITUTES
Attendance and Interest Best He
Has Ever Seen.

Professor w. H. .Olin, director
Of the Agricultural extension Of the
University Of Idaho, writing in the
Idaho Agricultural News Letter Of
Jan. AZ, has the following concern
ing the recent demonstration train
and farmers institute:
During the last few years, the
railroads have generously CO.
operated with agricultural colleges
all over the nation enabling said
colleges to take demonstration
trains carrying live stock and soil
products exhibits to all regions
reached by railroads and thus
inspire all farmers and stockmen
to "go thou and do likewise."
This work has been supplemented
by lectures explaining to the
farmers what fundamental practice
must govern their action if they
would accomplish the desired re-
suits.
The Northern Pacific RAILROAD
placed at the disposal of the Uni
versity of Idaho, this 5th of Janu-
ary, the most complete demon
stration train the writer has yet
seen. fitted out as an agricultural
College on Wheels. This was
run to all points in North Idaho
served by this road and the farmers
at each point turned out most
generously to inspect the train and
hear the addresses that were made
in the lecture cars or from the
platform outside, when the crowd
was too great to be accommodated
in the cars, as at Vollmer, lilo,
Genesee, Rathdrum, Standpoint
I and other places. AS soon as the
Demonstration Train had com.
pleted its scheduled trip, the fol.
low-up work was at once begun.
! The corps of U. of l. agricultural
workers who had been the demon.
strators on the train, began at the
last point reached by the train, the
practical work Of the Farmer Insti
tute Campaign.
/ Thus, they sought to bring from
the inspirational meetings, at the
train, practical and permanent
good.
F! The attendance and the interes
shown at these meetings was th'
best the writer has ever seen ant
he believes that these follow -uI
institutes is at least one way t
J make the work of the Demonstra
tion Train of lasting value to tn
farming communities which j
reaches. 1t is team work which
counts in life and all business a
we'll as politics.
When the transportation lines @
the country, the agricultural col
leges of the nations and the farmer
on the land cooperate together il
making possible the bringing G
every farm acre to it's maximum
crop, we shall have a practica
working out of scientific agricul
tr1re and happy, contented yeo
manry, who, staying on the pros
p :rous farms of the Nation, vii
render unnecessary the "Back t
the Farm" campaign.
