THE NEW TAX LAW.

Those who are criticising the new
tax law, or the provision of il which
Classics land, are deceiving the peo-
pie. Wouldn't it be fair to wait and
see? Is it fair to presume dishonesty
Would these critics want a tax law as
hands of an equalization board and
make it impossible for public officials
to do right, all for fear that the Of
icials might do wrong? Under the
new law no injustice can long exist
for the reason that there can be no
secret about either the assessment or
classification. The work of every
equalization board must be open and
public. The people will know and
never has graft or wrong fiourished in
the open.
The new law may not be what the
people want 1t may have imperfe"
lions, but it is right in principle. There
can be an honest equalization under
it if the board so Wills, and the peo-
pie elect the board.
It is demagOguery of the rankest sort
to charge all men with being di hon
est, and these charges should be re-
ceived by the public with considera-
BILE allowance when the author of the
charges is not only. Of questionable
honesty, but known to be both tricky
and ambitious.
The present law is not democratic
measure. 1t is nOn-partisan com
promise, law that has much OF good |
in it; that furnishes means of re-
lief from existing wrongs Why not |
give it an honest trial?

ADDISON T. SMITH
WOULD BE CONGRESSMAN

and the political machinery of the gov
eminent.
His service to the party Organiza
ton in the state began during the cam
paign of 1890, when he served as as
si,tant treasurer of the republican
state central committee, having charg
of the settlement and payment of tn,
expenses incurred by the committee
During the campaign of. 1902 he wa!
secretary to the vice chairman, ant
disposed of much of the correspond
ence of the committee. In 1904 he was
selected as secretary of the state cen
trail committee, and held the position
during the four succeeding campaigns
rendering splendid service to the par
ty. AS his duties at Washington pre-
vented him from longer giving the
position of secretary of the committee
the attention it required, he resigned
during the last summer, and his res
ignation was accepted by the commit
tee at it's meeting at Boise on Septem-
Der 20, 1911, after a vote of thanks
had been rendered him for his long and
efficient service.
When the state legislature during
the session of 1907 enacted law FRO
vi,ling for the erection of a marble
statue of the late Senator Shou2 in
Statuary hall of the nations capitol,
Mr. Smith was honored with the posi-
ii m of secretary of the statute I'm
authorized by the state law,
and aided the sculptor materially by
suggestions as to the details of the
work.

Falls, and was one of the first voters
in the new town at the November cleo
ton that year. He made proof on.
his homestead in September, 1905, and
still has his home and other property
interests there. He has always been
on the alert to advance the inter ests
of Twin Falls and the state at large,
and has accomplished much toward
attracting people and capital to Ida
ho.

mercial club of that place. The plan

H. Wicks, Moscow, Idaho. My Dear
Nh. Wicks: Replying to your lett +
of the goth, l am enclosing your re-
ceipt for membership and dues in the
Standpoint Commercial club for one
yeac, ard l might say in connection
that we are proud to have you for a
membsr.. received another good let
ter from our friend George w. Yorr,
this morning, and he seems to be very
enthusiastic over the prospect Of Il
visit to Bonner county in April
Regarding the powder proposition of
which you read in the Review"
am going to carry this proposition TO
a successful termination, and by SO
doing it Will mean the greatest era
of development that any country ev-
CT had. Picture if you can, what
it would mean to a rancher to bly,
powder for about one-half Of what he
now pays, or in other words, man
could clear 10 acres next yea for what
it cost him to clear five this year.
am sending you a News" today and
wish you would study this matter over
and get some favorable comment in
the Moscow papers.
AS it will not be a company organic
ed for profit we will have to educate
the people up to a cooperative plan.
With kindest regards, am yours ..uly, |
E. H. Edgerton.

| fronts the development of b. mel
some time Mr. Edgerton has been
working on the proposition of cheaper
powder for the farmers, ranches and
others who are striving to develop
northern Idaho. His first plan was to
induce some of the large powder Co.
panies to locate a plant here TO-, the
manufacture of dynamite, but he was
unable to make any satisfactory ar
rangements along that line. He says
that now he will organize a company
with every farmer in the county as
a stock holder, and that the dynamite
so manufactured will be sold to Bon
ner county citizens at exactly the cost
of production, which would be about
one-half the former price.
ct is intended to be cooperative
proposition, not for profit but for the
development of the country. One bus
mess man advanced the idea that the
railroads and hardware dealers would
the railroads would lose the hauling
of the dynamite and the dealers lose
the sale. This view, however, is a
very narrow way to look at it, says
Mr.. Edgerton. Wouldn't it be reason
able to suppose that with cheap pow
der to blow out the stumps every
available piece of agricultural land
would be utilized and in a short time
we would have farmer on every ten,
twenty or forty acres. These same
farmers would be producers of i'm
mense tonnage for the railroads and a
great demand would be made on the
hardware firms for added farm ma
chinery, building material and sup-1
plies While Mr.. Edgerton states that
he is not a powder man, he has had |
some experience along the line of ex-

Rock IsIand H., March 2S.-Onc hundred thugs, including four pro fessiOnal dyGamitcrs are on the.r way to Rock Island tonight and instead of facing trouble from d turbulent fae>ion of it's own citizens the city is now n danger by the i'm porting of desp rate characters. The one hundred men left Musca- tine, Iowa. in groups today and arc expected to aTrive in Rock Island by morning. They ale part of the element tha, started a recent riot in Muscatine. comm tting assaults, kill ing two policemen and attempting to dynamite buildings. The Muscatine situation, as that of Rock Island, was placed in the hands of sta,e troops and the float ng population was driven out. The trouble start ed from d strike in the button fac- tory.
 Guards have been doubled in all the railroad yards abound Rock Island and every effort is being made 10 prevent the men from alighting from the train. Dynamite $ stored in Rock Island, according to reliable reports received by Shet- Tiff o. l.. Bruner and under the di rect orders of Brigadier General Kittilson all active search is being conducted for the cache.

These are the arrival of one hundred desper ate men, fresh from the scenes of the riot in Muscatine; the inques- into the death of Frank Kellogg, which ha: been called for 9 o'clock tomorrow morning by Coroner Rose, and the impaneling of special grand jury by Judge F. G. Ramsey ,n 1he county court house tomorrow.
 Thirty men have been summoned to appear before the grand jury.
 Fourteen of the men who were found in the railroad yards lasi night and who are believed to be the vanguard of the crowd from Muscatine, were this morning ar raigned before the military cour'. composed of Brigadier General Kit tilson, Justice of the Peace Clarence A. Schroeder and Police Magistrate J. H. Cleland. They were each fined $200 and remanded to the county jail for forty days in de- fault of payment.
