''In minute" is an expression
frequently heard. A minute seems
very small and unimportant
fraction of time, and because OF
that idea most people waste
good many in the course of
day. Yet think what can be done
in the short space of a minute.
Take travelling as an example.
In minute the average pedes-
trian walks sixteen rods, a trOt-
ing horse and an ocean grey
hourd" covers half a mile and
an express train clips off mile.
That is pretty fast travelling, but
nothing to what this old world
is doing In one minute in whirls
us around on the out side OF the
earth by it's diurnal motion some
thirteen miles, and it speeds us
on in the same space of time ,O8O
miles on it's grand tour around
the sun. But even that is slow
work compared with what a ray
of light does, for in one short
minute it flashes through H.
100000 miles. A minute is a
good deal after all.

JOHNS CREEK LOST 10 TO 1e.

The basket ball game at the
rink last Friday between the
Johns Creek five, composed of
Walter Knorr, France Meyer,
Louis Bowman, Manning Johns
ton and Elmer Schnell, and the
Grangeville high school team con.
sisting of Henry Munro, Ernest
DeHaven, Charlie Simmons. Or
rim Riebold and Homer Melon
aid, was very interesting and was
witnessed by a large attendance,
no admission being charged. The
first three named of the Johns
Greek team are university boys,
and were simply seeking recrea-
ton while on their vacation j;
Manning Johnston is also an old
experienced player, and Elmer
Schnell used to be one of Grange
vile s crack players, so the home
boys are feeling good over the
fact that they held the long end
of the 10 to 16 score over such
a bunch of players as the above.
Girl Highs Win 8 to 10.
While the first mentioned game
was good, it held no per cent in
interest over the preliminary
game pulled off between the
girl high school team and the
Junior boys team, which resulted
IN a victory for the girls by
score of 8 to 10. Both teams
player excellent ball, and as the
score shows were pretty evenly
matched, but the girls displayed
the best training and team work,
and were more active on their
feet than the boys. The teams
were made up as follows:
Girls team-Alice Brust, Vir-
ginia Branscombe, Irene Parsons,
Sylvia Parker and Hazel Van
Pool.
Boys team-Mack Leonard.

IS IT A GENUINE CHANGE OF
HEART, OR ONLY POLITICAL?
A Tax Commission Already Knocked Out Once by the
Present Legislature at it's Regular Ses-
sion Last Year.

Farmin bill was led by Hon. Dow
Dunning, democratic member of
the house from Owyhee county,
who severely attacked it as rev.
dictionary and drastic, giving the
commissioners too much power.
Those who heard the lengthy OPP
position to that bill by the Owy-
hee representative, have today,
some of them expressed wonder
what he will do to the proposed
bill which greatly increases the
power over that proposed to be
given under the Farmin bill.
Hon. j. d. Robertson of Wash
ington county was the chief
spokesman at this meeting in
favor of the Farlnin bill. Many
assessors and county commissions
ers voiced their opposition to the
bill then under contemplation.
Fought by Democrats.
1t was generally understood at
the time that the bill had the I'M
qualified opposition of Governor
Hawley, who was reported as has
ing declared that he would veto
it. 1t had the united opposition
of all the democrats Of the house
and of the senate, except that
Galloway of Washington county
voted for it. The following dem
ocrats voted against the passage
of the bill in the house: Dun
ming, Eckles, Gibson, Hellekson,
Hendricks, Hill, Holmberg, Hut
ton, Hyde, Jayne, Jensen, Kerby,
Leaf, Morgan, Nelson, Parker,
Pincock, Sorenson, Stephens,
Terrell, STROBE, Thompson and
Wood. They were joined by
Alfred and Wilson, republicans,
making the total negative vote
of 26. There were 81 ayes.
In the senate where the dem
ocrats were numerically stronger
than they were in the house, the
opposition to the bill was more
effective. 1t was amended in
that body by the elimination of
all of the drastic clauses, and in
fact, almost everything else, ex-
cept, as its author declared, there
was little of the bill after it came
back to the house, except the IL
tie and the authors name. Far
min himself opposed the bill as
amended by the senate, and it
was peacefully killed upon it's re-
turn, the execution having been
attended to by its friends.
On it's final passage in the SEN
ate, the democrats still continued
their opposition to it, every dem
ocratic senator, except Freehafer
Of Washington county, voting
against it. The nays were: Day,
Fisher, Hornibrook, Kerns, Mac
Beth, Mitchell, Pugmire. Total
Z, all democrats.
The ayes were: Coates, Eckert
Freehafer, Gooding, Haight, Har-
ris, Lee, Page Petts, Preston,
Shawhan, st. Clair, Whitcomb,
Williams, Yates, total Is, all re-
publicans except Freehafer.
Republicans Wondering.
Republican members of the leg
islature and politicians are ex-
pressing wonder if the proposed |
measure is offered to them now
as a vindication of their methods
of a year ago, or merely for the

Present Legislature Has Already
Repudiated Proposal.

10puOlhIoQ 1VOpOSdl.
Boise News: Members of the
legislature now in Boise, state
officials and others who kept
close tab on the proceedings OF
the regular session of the legisla.
ture last winter, are wondering
what change has come over con.
ditions since the adjournment OF
the regular session, as to cause
the democrats to become advo-
Gates OF a state tax commission
in view of the strenuous opposi-
ton that a similar measure met
with during the session last win
ter.
The measure proposed at that
time, known as House Bill No.
los, by Farmin, proposed the ap-
pointment of a tax commission
consisting of one member to be
named by the state board of
equalization, to have the same
qualifications and practically the
same powers, except in a more
qualified degree, as the commits
sion proposed by the bill drafted
by Commissioners MacLane and
Martin, which has the support of
Governor Hawley,
The chief difference between
the two bills, it is pointed out, is
that the Farmin bill proposed one
commissioner at a salary of 3d.
500 with one assistant at salary
Of $500, while the bill now re-
commended provides for three
commissioners at salary of 49,
600 each, a chief clerk with a
salary of $500 and two steno-
graphers or clerks at a salary of
$500 for the two.
The Farmin commissioner was
to act at all time, and to exer-
else his most drastic authority
only under the supervision and
with the specific consent of the
state board of equalization, while
the commission proposed by the
new law to be submitted to the
legislature at its special session,
gives the tax commission exclu-
siye authority and power to act
in spite Of the state board of
equalization.
Under the Farmin bill the state
board of equalization still con-
tinued to retain it's former pow
ers and duties, the work Of the
tax commission being rather of an
advisory nature, while the pro-
posed law makes the tax commits
sion's work final except that the
state board of equalization may
equalize between the assessments
fixed by the commission on rail
roads, telegraphs and telephones,
and other property of the state
as fixed by the county assessors
under the supervision of the
state tax commission.
Dow Cummings Fight.
1t will be remembered that
there was a mass meeting called
during the session last winter to
discuss the Farmin bill. This
meeting was attended by the coun-
ty commissioners Of the state, by
the assessors, by prominent bus
mess men all over the state, by
members of the legislature and
others. The opposition to the

purpose of stealing their thun-
der. Considerable conjecture is
being made as to whether or not
the same members Of the legisla-
ture which turned down the form
er bill because it was too drastic
and revolutionary, will now en-
act the proposed measure which
is far more drastic and revolu-
tionary than the first one.

The need for plenty of roughage on
the farm is apparent when there IS a
likelihood that the corn crop win be
short or FAILURE The paramount
question for farmers who keep animals
is to provide plenty of nutritious hay
and other forage.
Concentrates can be bought, and
many OF these are usually purchased
regardless of the season, but hay, be-
cause Of its low feeding value and
bulk, is very expensive feed when
bought for animals. Hay should be
produced on the farm IL possible.
Such concentrates as cottonseed
meal, rice polish. wheat shorts and
bran, when plenty of good hay is pro
duced on the farm. may be purchased
and the animal probably kept, but
when there is no pasture and the feed
er must depend upon his neighbor and
the manufacturer for his concentrates
the animals and their products must
bring good returns to pay for their
board
There are many crops that can be
planted late in the season to furnish
for the animals-namely
cowpeas. soy beans, rape, sorghum,
milo. Kaff1r, peanuts, etc. The progress,

of these crops End thereby reduce the
