NO LEGISLATION
ON DRAINAGE
CONTINUED FROM FIRST eAeE)

Sec. 20 of Article of our Con-
stitution is aafollows:
"No property qualification shall
ever be required for any person to
vote or hold office except in school
elections or elections creating in
debtedness."
Now, to the ordinary laymsn. it
would seem that this should per
NIT a property qualification in vot-
ing for these drainage districts. for
one of the prime objects is to create
Indebtedness.
But the attorneys claim that since
it is not a vote upon bonding di-
rect. it is not so included. TIE
part of the section of law covering
the qualifications of voters in draip-
age districts is as follows:
Revised Code See. 244S: Such
election shall be held on the day
designated in such notice, all shall
he conducted in accordance with
the general election laws of the
State of Idaho. and at such election
and all succeeding elections under
this title every natural person of
legal age, who is a bona fide owner
of forty acres or smaller tract OF
real estate within the limits of such
district as established by the board
of county commissioners, shall be
entitled to an additional vote for
eacn forty acres of real estate
owned as aforesaid in excess of the
first forty acres; but if it be found
that the foregoing provisions in
this section as to qualifications oil
voters are invalid, then such quail
fications shall be as follows; Every
natural person of legal age who is a
bona fide owner of real estate with
in the limits of said district, as
established by said board of county
commissioners, shall be entitled tC
one vote"
The petition which | received
from residents and property owners
in District No. 5, asked for tn,
following qualification for voters; tc
wit:
THAT the voters in a dIainag,
district be: A natural person Of
legal age, who is bona fide owner
of real estate within the limits o.
said drainage district, each person
having the power to cast one vote
AS will be seen this is exactly
like the last provision of the exist
ing law, so it is unnecessary tc
enact it. If the former is uncon.
stitutional, so would be the latter
1t was suggested by the Attorney
General that the better way to test
what has already been done in
these districts would be to bring q
friendly suit and get the matter or
to the Supreme Court, where the
true conditions would be defined
and the next Legislature could ACT
more intelligently in passing new
or remedial measures which would
stand the tests Of the courts.
Very Respectfully,
THos. ]. JONES.

RAISING TWO
LITTERS A YEAR.

When the farmer expects TO raise two
filters OF pigs a year he must handle
his sows in such way that will ac-
complish this result. writes a South
Dakota farmer in the American Agri
culturist For the first litter | breed
so the sows will farrow before the
weather gets cold in the fall and then
again for spring pigs as soon as posi-
BILE. OF course this requires the rails
ing of pigs in the fall without much
succulent feed. However. this is not
such a difficult task if the farmer goes
at it right.
1.-THE boar is given a small amount
of corn and some oats to keep him In
rood 6esh during the fall. He should
not be too fat. but in thrifty condi-
ton During the summer most Of his

Daring is one of the most i'm
portant Of the industries of the
surrounding country. In view of
the fact that the Publicity Com
mittee are directing their efforts
towards securing lower rates from
the railroads, for Boomers Ferry,
the following from the Spokesman
Review is of interest,
"The Inland Empire has been
told again and again that it needs
at least $4,000 more COWS than it
now has to supply its demand for
butter, cream. cheese and milk.
Attention is called anew to the
fact and to the needless loss of
millions of dollars paid to Eastern
communities for the products of
the dairy.
One of the means by which the
farmers can take up THIS industry
is for the railroads to lower their
allegedly prohibitive rates on the
westward transportation of pedi-
greed stock. Farmers claim that
they can not afford to im port cattle
to improve their herds. But these
are what the soil needs, as really
as the expansion If the apple in
dustry means enhanced prosperity
for the Pacific northwest.
"The development of stock breed
ing and of daring is Indispensable
to the farms"

The Committee on Public Lands
of the Senate following the lead of
Senator Borah, has decided to make
more than 100000 acres of land,
now withheld from public domain,
available for settlement, with the
view to preventing the migration
of American citizens to Canada,
where the homestead laws of the
Dominion are proving very attract
i've. The Senators also favor bill
liberalizing tbs homestead law by
reducing the time required for set
tiers to remain upon their home
steads in order to acquire title,
from FIVE years, as at present, to
three years. Senator Borah de-
clsred in his speech that $4,000
people left the United States last
year to take up lands in Canada.

LOOKING OVER

al Planters, arrived home this morn.

arrived here recently for the purpose
of looking into the condition OF the
Filipino immigrant laborers on the
Island plantations. Senior Balmore
stopped off at Maui on the return
trip, and will not be back to Homo
lulu until next week.
Practically all OF the plantations on
which the Filipinos are employed on
the Big Island were visited, and the
investigator given every opportunity
to see just how his fellow country
men are faring and how they are en-

Balmore, or to attempt to give his
impressions of what he saw" said
Mr.. Mead this morning. There isn't
any question, however, that the Fill

SUGAR DROP NOT
THOUGHT SERIOUS

For the first time Ia "a good many
months the price Of 90 degree cen
uiugals has dropped below cents,
or $50 per ton. The quotation from
San Francisco today, however, gives
the price 3.9S cents, equal to $97GO
per ton
Sugar men generally do not appear
to have any serious apprehensions
that the lower prices will be of very
long duration. The price of European
beet sugar has begun to advance, and
the parity difference between beets
and cane is now over SIS per ton
Within another month or two the
Cuban crop will be pretty well out OF
the way, and with no large surplus III
sight prices are practically certain to
advance in marked degree.
Alexander & Baldwin received a
cable from their New York Office this
morning, dated yesterday, explaining
mistake in quotation sent earlier IN
the day. The cable follows:
There was a sale Of 90 degree cen
trifugals yesterday that affected the
basis of Hawaiian sugars, at 3.9S.
Holders of raws are asking 4.O5, but
not firm at that price"
The Sugar Factors Company :e.
ceived cable advices this morning TO
the effect that the last half of the
S. S. Columbians cargo had reached
market in New York, getting in with
sugar at 4.O45 cents per pound.
