Last week William Parman one of
he Betterment League booze sleuths
who was instrumental in the recent ar
rest of two of our wet goods merchants,
visited Shelly on rather unique and
criminal mission. While here he sent
for June Hampton and voluntarily ad-
United that he lied when he swore in
court that be, Hampton, had sold him
whiskey, and for consideration of $50
'ffered to make an affidavit that he was
a Lerjurer. Attorneys Holden & Hold
en- of Idaho Falls, were notified of the
detectives proposition and ON their re-
quest he was escorted to their Office
where it Is said he made sworn affi-
davit that he was perjurer, and was

self condemnation He returned to
Shelly broke and stated that he must
raise money to skip the country; that if
ne returned to Blackfoot they would
arrest him. and in Pocatello they would
kill him. 1t is also reported that he
confessed to r. J. Mcguire whom he at
tempted to blackmail, that he was a
periurer, and when asked the reason
why replied that sit was all in the
business"
A few days prior to his visit here he
made drunken gun play in an O. s l.
chair Car and insulted and threatened to
assault Miss Bernice Austin, daughter
| of Heber Austin, an employe of the
idaho Falls sugar factory He took a
drunken fancy to the. young lady and
threatened violence if she did not
alight at the next station and marry
him. 1t was for this rowdyism, which
the railroad company would not toler-
ate, that he was disarmed and arrested
while here by Marshal Packer and taken
TO Blackfoot. It is also reported that
the disgraced detective and self-confess-
ed perjurer Was once a respectable
young man and a student of the B. y.

Lounty and State laxes.

Among the umerous reforms in the
way of taxation which Governor Haw-
ley proposes to accomplish thru the
medium Of the special session Of the
legislature, the one which would give
to the state all the revenue derived
from taxing public service corporations
leaving all other property TO be taxed
by the several counties TO meet the ex-
pensss of local government, each county
thus being able TO make its assessment
wholly independent of valuations in
other \counties. This the governor
thinks would be an ideal system, and
would do away with the present dissat
isfaction resulting from the unequal
distribution of the burden of support
ing the state.
The governor will find it difficult TO
convince the legislature that mis- plan
will improve the situation. AS a mat
TER Of fact, it would work great hard
ship upon the people in those counties
in which the public service corpora
tions are the heaviest taxpays, while in
counties where little or no revenue is
derived from these corporations the diff
ference in the taxes paid by the people
would be slight. and at the same time
it would exempt them from contribut-
ing to the support of the state govern
ment in anything lik a fair proportion
This week the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern railroad companies
paid their taxes in Bonner county
amounting to 1924, ,624. There are al
least two more railroad companies &c
pay yet. besides other public servic,
companies How would the good peo-
lie of Bonner like to turn over this
money to the state and increase the
assessment on their own property tC
meet the requirements of the local gov,
erument? ?-W Wallace Press-Times.
