BIC GUNS BURST.
KILLING THREE

TOULON, FRANCE June 27.-An
investigation was ordered today of the
bursting of two guns on the French
cruiser Jules Michel yesterday which
resulted in the death of two sailors and
one gunner, and serious injury to two
officers and fifteen men Ten of the
injured men may die.
While the government is trying TO
keep all the facts of the case secret,
the unofficial opinion is expressed that
the disaster was caused by defagra
ton of French B powder which was
also held to be the cause of the blow
ing up Of the battleship Liberte about a
year ago.
The first explosion occurred in turret
No. 5, when a gun breach blew off,
killing man and wounding nine
others Practice firing was being held
at the time After the debris had been
cleared away the officers gave the conf
mand to continue firing and within two
hours heavy gun in turret No. eX
ploded, vounding two officers and eight
men. The practice was discontinued
then and all the injured rushed ashore
TO hospital.
Later in the day two of the injured
sailors died

LIMIT THE lEvYiNo POWER.

THAT there Is something radically
wrong in q system that permits the
tax rate in the several counties for
state and county purposes to vary
from eight mills as 1t 10 In Fremont, to
21h mills. as 1t is In Lemhi, can hardly
be questioned. AS the state tax is prac-
tically three mills only. the fault cannot
be charged to the state officers. 1t

Had the last legislature. when In

amount Of taxes which the county and

also follow In the wake Of Ada. In
some of the counties, notably In Bear
Lake. Cassia, Custer and Idaho, the
increase for this year Is comparatively
light. Bingham increases her assess
ment by over $4,000; Bonner, by more
than $4,000; Clearwater by over $34. :
900, and Fremont by $4,000. These in

extravaganza or incompetence. They

Of these counties, including Ada, are
dissatisfied with these increases in

county boards and not to Governor
Hawley. The caliph Of Bagdad has
barely less to do with these increases
than has the governor. Nor are these
increases in the tax levy for 1912 at
tributable to full cash valuation: for we
