Boise, Idaho--The death of the tax
commission bill, born in the house of
representatives of the extra session
of the eleventh Idaho legislature, fol-
lowing the killing of the Hawley tax
commission, was accomplished with
out a struggle just before the senate
adjourned late Saturday afternoon.
The bill was killed by indefinite
postponement after the Republicans
and Democrats had reached agree
ment that it was not satisfactory to
either. Adjournment of the legisla-
ture was postponed until next week.
Senators Potts and st. Clair, Re-
publicans, and Poole and Kerns, Dem
ocrats, at once went to work upon a
third tax commission bill, to be intro
duced in the senate as a non-partisan
measure. 1t will provide for the ap-
pointment of one tax commissioner
by the state board OF equalization
and will be supported by both fac
tons, settling the revenue tax diff

behind the tax commission bill in
the senate and gained one Republican
vote in the attempt to save 1t from
defeat, but twelve Republicans voted
to kill it and they were in the major

The house of representatives,
grieved over the treatment measures
that have originated there have met
with in the senate, attempted to pass
a resolution Saturday calling for an
amendment to the state constitution
to take from the senate the power
to kill house bills, but it was lost.
The house went on record as taking
exception to the free hand with
which the senate had amended and
postponed house legislation.
Both houses passed a memorial
commencing Senator Borah's stand
on the three-year homestead law,

The opposition of Majority Leader
Davis and Minority Leader Morgan

by close vote of 27 to "a. The
claim made in support of the bill
was that mines were escaping their

white of mustache and hair, erect
and stately despite his sixty years. and
more, and possessed of but one great
grievance in life-that Wars did not
happen often enough to really keep
him busy. AS a boy he had blown a
bugle when the very regiments he
now commanded swept into the fight
at the battles of the Shenandoah Val
ley. The war over, he had been sent
to West Point to put the finishing
polish upon an education acquired in
actual campaigning Graduating in
1869. he had fought Sioux. Cheyennes.

eyes twinkled above them. Then So
lano spoke, slowly, measuring his
words.
HAS Esteral made much progress
with his plans?"
Yes. Wonderful progress. The
Latin-Americans In nearly every ma
ton have accepted his propaganda
blindly. They honestly believe that
the United States, land-hungr6, eager
for conquest, intends sooner or later
to annex and COLOMBO the whole
world of Mexico, Central and South
America. Once president of Mexico,
Esteral would consolidate his empire
of mutual defense and vested rights
in less than two years Then he would
sell his alliance to Japan or Germany.
Both are eager to gain his friendship,
and both are making him tremendous
offers He is financing his revolution
with Japanese and German gold. Jap
anese and German spies swarm all
over this country, brlbing, schemi1R
working to gain the secrets of defense
and military policy. Japanese and
German agents also try to block every
avenue by which certain messages
could be conveyed TO Gomez Esteral
If those messages reach him | believe
his dreams will be shocked into sud
den awakening, and a great light will
burst upon him"
"How-how do you mean, colonel?"
Brockett questioned.
"Because"-and the old soldiers
words fairly burned their way through
the very souls of his young auditors
because both Japan and Germany
have every plan arranged by which
Esteral is to be deceived, betrayed,
and made a catspaw. Germany pro-
poses, If the United States is Grip
pied, to seize upon Brazil and make
1t the home of Prussia's overlooking
millions. Japan already counts upon
Sonora and Lower California as part
Of the Pacific empire which the
mikado is to rule. These schemes
are all matured. and the execution of
the plans would be commenced as
soon as the war was over. In other

great Latin nation, is to be awakened
by the shock of finding himself the
tool of a great land-grabbing con-
spiracy, and his new-formed nation
the prey of Germany or of Japan"
And" asked Solano, eagerly, how
do we figure in this drama of the ma
tions?"
You have quite a part to play,
said the old soldier. IF l am not
mistaken, the packet which you carry
to Gomez Esteral contains not only
the cipher code, and messages from
the United States to Esteral, but alb
solutely irrefutable proofs of the Jap
anese and German reachery-proofs

of rather more than ordinary brains
and the evidence that will be set be,
fore him will Give him a sudden shock
and complete awakening"

were made to rob us on the road"
Exactly" concurred the colonel
"And now. boys. | have something

cllnch the case, so far as Esteral Is
concerned, as they contain notice to
Baron Zollern that he will be appoint
ed governor of Brazilian province
when everything has been properly
adjusted Rather foolish of the
kaiser, don't you think? However
that may be, here's the documents.
Add them to whatever you already
have in stock for Gomez Esteral, and
start for Rancho Nogal whenever you
feel so disposed. l can't even send

grass If he saw a solitary trooper APP
preaching. You will have to look out
for yourselves and for the safety OF
your letters"
Under the rich light of the Mexican
moon, two young horsemen rode the
trail that leads to Rancho Nogal Both
boys could ride fairly well, though
neither could lay claim to the skill OF
a cowboy, and the thoughtful old col
onel had provided them with mounts.
"lf you can stick on your horses"
said he, ut will shorten the distance
to the Rancho. and may also carry you
out of danger If anybody stops you on
the way" Well-provided with direc-
lions, and with heavy cavalry revolt
vers buckled at their hips, the mes
sengers set out on the last stage of
their journey in royal spirits. Six
troopers saw them safe across the Rio
Grande, and dismissed them with wav-
ing of hats and urgent requests to be
back in time for the deciding ball
game. The group of friendly horse
