FOUND DEAD IN CABIN
Aged Sheepherder Passes
Away from Heart Failure

Richard Atherson, an old man
who has been a sheepherder for
many years, was found dead in
his cabin on the lower end of
the bench Monday. Death is ascrib-
ed to hear, failure, but over-in
~u'gence in liquor was the contri-
buting cause.
Atherson is the man who was
found lying in a stupor in the sage
brush last winter. Two empty de-
mijohns by his side explained the
cause Of his condition. He has
been living alone on home
stead for some time. Sunday he
was found by neighbors under the
influence of liquor and in stupe-
fled condition. Several of these
neightors sat up with him Sun
day night, but left Monday morn
ing. During the day Alex Brush
wood called at the cabin and
found the old man dead. He was
sitting by the stove and until
Mr.. Brushwood endeavored to
arouse him he was thought to be
asleep. The coroner was notified
and the body taken to Caldwell.
Very little is known of the history
of the dead man or his relatives.

Tax Exemption.

A workable tax exemption law
would simply release from taxation
a certain amount of property lor
every person assessed. One thousand
dollars worta exempt to every per-
son assessed would be enough to
start On. All property should be
assessed at its actual cash value.
Thus, a person assessed on $4,000
worth of property would be taxed
on $4,000 worth. A person worth
$4,000 would be taxed on $4,000
Aperson assessed on $4,000 would be
taxed on $1,000. A person owning
less than one thousand dollars
worth, would not be taxed at all.
Every property owner would pay
direct taxes on only the excess of
his property above the value of
$1,000.
The general reason for such a
distribution of the taxes is to Sc
cure tax-free to every person enough
property to enable him to make a
living with if he uses it. It's
effect will be to throw the tax
burden where it should most eui-
tably be borne and where it will
least seriously condition a fam
ily's acquisition of life's ne
cessities.
Obviously this is not an in
come tax. 1t is more equitable than
an income tax.
For an income tax would permit
a speculator to hold out of the
market and out of use realty (as
some of the Emmett bench land
is still held) to an unlimited ex-
tent.
And 1t is not single tax, for
it does not require a person. in or

A.nother Meeting.

Another meeting was held last
evening in Commercial Club rooms
and it tco was largely attended.
A free for all discussion was en-
gagged in and many gave expression
to their feelings in no uncertain
terms. R. B. Wilson and W. T.
Calender aired the Single Tax
theory and Ed Hayes upheld their
remarks along these lines. Mr.
Calender said the system of taxa
tion in the Emmett Irrigation Dis
triot was Single Tax in the most
advanced stage, and he had yet
to hear of a man who objected to
it. 1t would work the same way
in local, county and state affairs,
he contended and prove equally sat
isfactory and equitable.
A committee on resolutions was
appointed and requested TO report
at the meeting to be held Friday
afternoon at l O'Clock. The mem
bers of the committee are j.

DRAFT OF new TAX
LAW IS MADE
Exempts Homes up to $2500
-Semi-Annual Pay
ments Provided

Sweeping changes in the ta1
laws of this state are recommend
ed TO the special legislative ses
sion by the commission appointed
by Governor Hawley TO draft bills
to submit to the legislators upon
their assembling this month. No
less than 29 bills and five consti-
tutional amendments have been
submitted as a result of the com
missions labors.
Exemptions are made for the
taxation of what is termed non-in-
come property, as jewelry and
clothes from which no income is
realized.
Home builders actually engaged
in the construction of homes on
land are given an exemption up
TO s25OO.
Mortgages, notes, accounts, mon
eys. certificates of deposit, tax
certificates, judgments, state, coun-
ty, municipal, school district bonds
and warrants are exempted.
Provision is made for the quad
rennial assessment of all property
in the state OF Idaho by the as
SCISSOR, the first to take place in
1912.
Classification of lands provided
for and a barrier is raised to de-
ficiency warrants and their issuance
in the future.
vided for and detailed provisions
are made by the commission, max
ing the manner of assessment clear.
The measure provides for two
annual installments for the pay
ment of taxes, thus bringing re-
lief to the taxpayer.
Three commissioners are to be
named by the state board of
equalization to attend to the duties
of the tax commission for which
they receive salaries of $4,000 per
annum.
Provides fer levy of a tax on
the gross receipts of utility COM
panies.
Poll tax optional with counties.
Reduces authorized amount of .
school bonds from II to per
cent. Reduces special tax in in
dependent school districts from
20 mills to Z mills.
Municipal bond limit reduced fro1
! 5 to per cent.
Imposes a limitation on county
and municipal tax leyies.
The recommendations generally
are good. The suggestion that taxes
be payable semi-annually will
meet with favor. The exemption
of s25OO proposed for the home
owner is a wise provision, and will
greatly encourage home building
and improvement of vacant lands
and city lots.

SCIENCE RECORDS A TRIUMPH
After Research II Has Been Ascertain
ed Just Why the Hungry Man
Tightens His Belt.

Remembering the habit of tramps to
tighten their belts when hungry, Prof.
DR.. Rudolf Lennhoff decided to inves.
tigate the efficiency of this simple
remedy in actually suppressing hun.
ger. Assisted by physicians he made
use of the property of the X-rays of
being arrested by metals and their
salts. Persons were given drinks
which contained in suspension salts
OF bismuth or livigated lodestone. or
they were required to eat solid food,
such as mashed potatoes. which had
previously been mixed with metallic
salts.
DIR. Lennhoff reports to the Vos'
sische Zeitung the following results:
In the case of solid food, contraction
of the stomach could be observed, and
relatively small quantity proved TO
be sufficient to satisfy the appetite.
When liquid food was given In the or
binary way-i e., by swallowing-the
contraction was considerably less. and
larger quantity was necessary for
satiation.
In third experiment the liquid was
introduced into the stomach through
a tube: in this case twice the quantity
of liquid was required.
These experiments showed that the
mechanical stimulus of swallowing by
reflex action causes contraction of
the stomach. thus accelerating satia-
ton This suggested that by arti-
ficially increasing the pressure on the
stomach, satiation could be accom-
plished with smaller quantity Of
food. The trick of the hungry tramp
was therefore resorted to. and belt
was applied tightly around the waist
of the eater. The result was as an
ticipated.
