The County Commissioners of the
state spent several days at Boise the
past week talking over matters of
interest to the state AT large and
discussing many matters of public
importance. In view of the forth
coming special session of the legis-
lature, much of their time was
spent in deliberations upon the var
ious revenue measures t. be present
ed at this session, and they went
on record a recommending and
opposing the most important ones
They oppose the proposed eXemp
ton plan and would make the linn
il $1,000 instead of s25OO. They
also oppose the tax commission plaI
and the road overseer system. The,
are heartily in favor of working
family deserters on the roads an'
turning the wages over to the fam
lily; favor more stringent marriag
laws; want their terms of office eX
tended to six years with an ade
quate salary attached; favor bienia
assessments and exemption of cite
and towns from county poll tax
Nearly every county in the stat
was represented at tine conventio
and the sessions proved very intel
esting throughout.

FACTORIES FOR IDAHO.

II is stated quite authentically
that the National Wool Growers
Association has Il plan on foot for
establishment of factories in the
Northwest for the manufacture OF
the raw material into woolen goods,
and this state seems to he the iav-
ored location for such factories. II
is contended that the working up
of the clip in this section and ship
ping the cloth instead of the fleece
to the eastern market is feasible, n
the cost of freighting the manuiac-
tured article would he much less,
as there would he no loss whatever
The biggest problem confronting
the instigators of this innovation Il
the question of labor. The power
question is one that is giving then
no concern, rs there is plenty anc
to spare, and time will adjust
reasonable compensation for TIN
power. With the present sparsel.
settled condition of the country
labor is consequently too high I

That the t. 5. Government still
holds jurisdiction over the arid
lands that have been conditionally
ceded to the state, is evidenced by
the fact that patents have been de-
MED to holders of some 1900 acres
included in the Emmett irrigation
district until additional evidence is
furnished relative to the completion
of the canal works in that district.
1t was the evident Intention of the
trainers of the Carey Act that lands
entered under this law should be for
homestead purposes, and until the
Government is satisfied that this is
being complied with they will evi-

If politicians will only give due
regard to the interests of the state
and forget petty party differences
for few days, we may expect some
relief from the special session Of the

of the partisan papers to take a
little of this advice and labor foi

Ills Helu, anu eSptcldllS Ill HIS or-
chard, is cut down during the win
ter. If it is necessary to have some
sort of crop on the land to prevent
washing and to hold the snow, the
expert favors clover or some other
crop that will cOunter-balance the
evil Of the insects by the nitrogen
that it puts into the soil. These
crops do not form hiding places for
injurious insects in anything like
the degree that the growing weed
does, he says.
Mr.. Starring is also opposed to
wormy apples around the farm,
arguing that the larvae may escape
and be ready to do the trees all
kinds of damage next spring If they
are not destroyed before they get
out OF the fruit.

WEEDS POISON The SOIL.

Weeds seem to have incurred the
particular hostility of the experts at
Moscow, says the Statesman, for
two professors, c. +. Temple, the
botanist, and c. c. Starring, the
assistant horticulturist, have accused
them of being responsible for many
of the ills that flesh is heir to. The
accusations are made in the last
agricultural bulletin issued to the
farmers of the state.
The horticulturist is down ON
weeds because they harbor insect
nests that do millions of dollars
worth of damage to the trees and
crops of the northwestern states
every year. He accuses them ol

pENALIZIN0 IMPROVEMENTS

Regarding the exemption from
taxation of improvements to GER
tain degree, which is now being agi-
tated, the Twin Falls Chronicle has
an article that fully illustrates this
system, and while it may appear
little strong on some points, in a
general way it expresses the present
system OF taxation in the state, as
follows;
Suppose you owned lot i'll
town or city. Suppose some fellow
who owned lot adjoining yours
should express a determination to
greatly improve the adjoining lot
by erecting a handsome building.
Would you try to discourage his en-
terprise by telling him that you
would ask the law to penalize him
for improving his property? No,
you would not because you well
know that the enterprise of your
neighbor would not only add to
the value of his property but also to
the property which you own. And
yet that is the very thing which
the taxation law does to an enter
prising citizen. The slothful man
can let his property lie idle for years
. with a minimum of taxation but
the minute the enterprising man
. begins improving his property the
: law begins to penalize him for his
( enterprise by taxing his improve
ments. 1t is wrong system. II
! works Just as much evil in the farm
e ing districts as in the city. 1t places
a premium upon sloth and penal
G ty upon enterprise, encouraging
d men to refrain from placing valu

: dure such an unjust system of tax

farm lands would be to put TIN
IT same value per acre upon all land

WILL Be FIVE
CENTS EACH THIS
FALL.

Columbus, O., Sept. 17.-Eggs
at five cents apiece is the price
which housewives will have to
pay next winter, according to
Professor F. S. Jacoby, head of
the poultry department at Ohio
State University. He attributes
the probably soaring prices to
the good rates paid for poultry
last spring. Farmers and chick
en- raisers could afford better to
sell their hens than to feed them
for egg production.
Last spring was not a good
one for Matching, and this fact
also will cause a shortage of lay
ing hens this fall" says Prof.
Jacoby.
In New York eggs are sell
ing for prices which they do not
command usually until late fall.
Instead of being replenished
now, storage stocks are being
drawn on to fill the present de-
mand.

Fine, But Facts Mixed.

Opelousas, La, Sept. Ia, 1912.
To the Editor:
Hon. A. P. Pujo, in his letter
advocating the candidacy of Mr..
John W. Lewis for Congress
against Senator L. Lazaro, OF
date Sept. 9th, 1912, uses what
might be considered good logic
in a lawyer, but his facts are
badly mixed.
He says that Calcasieu owes
something to- st. Landry, because
over ten years ago when he, Mr..
Pujo, was Calcasieu's candidate
for Congress, St. Landry helped
elect him, Pujo, after its own
candidate was eliminated.
Then he goes on to say that
Mr.. Lewis is the choice of the
majority Of the voters of st. Ian
dry, and I'VE Of Calcasieu ought
to abide with the will Of the ma
jority."
All of this is true, except his
statement that Mr.. Lewis is the
choice of the majority of the vo-
tiers of the st. Landry of which
he is speaking, the st. Landry
which helped to elect him, Pujo,
ten years ago. The st. Landry
then was made up Of what is
now st. Landry and Evangeline.
AS a matter Of fact, the voters
of what was old st. Landry at
the time of which Mr.. PuJo
speaks, that is, st. Landry and
Evangeline as they now exist,
instead Of giving a majority vote
to Mr.. Lewis, in the primary
just passed, as Mr.. Pujo would
have us infer, gave a decisive
majority to Senator Lazaro, for
the combined vote of those par
ishes as to these two candidates
was: For Lazaro 1909, for Lewis
1852; majority for Lazaro BAT.
Mr.. Pujo says the people of
Calcasieu ought to abide by the
will of the majority of the voters
of St. Landry as it helped him
ten years ago. If the people of
Calcasieu follow his advice, they
will support Senator Lazaro in
the second primary, as he is over
whelmingly the choice of the st.
Landry which helped to elect
Calcasieu's son in the past.
Respectfully,
OLD ST. LANDRY VOTER.

THAT IS WHAT Mr..
LEWIS SHOULD HAVE
Done.
Mr.. Bruner, Candidate for Dis
trict Attorney Of Acadia, Is
Out of the Race.

Mr.. Howard Bruner, candidate
for District Attorney of Acadia
parish in the September primary,
chose a wise course, when one Of
his opponents led hin by severa
hundred votes, and he saw hope.
less prospect Of his winning in
the second primary-and with,
drew.
He saved the people the ne.
cessity of going to the polls-o1
sacraficing their time, so impor-
tant at this season, when crops
are being harvested.
He realized that the people
wanted another man-and grace,
fully withdrew.
Mr.. John w. Lewis, candidate
for Congress from this District,
might have done the same.
The Crowley Signal, speaking
of Mr. Burners withdrawal, says;
In the columns of the sigma
Wednesday appeared the an
nouncement by Howard E. Brun-
er, candidate for district attorney
of the Eighteenth Judicial Dis
trict in the recent primary cleo
ton, that he would not enter in
to the second race. This an,
nouncement was made by Mr..
Bruner after the most careful
consideration of his position and
after due consideration with his
close political and personal
friends.
Mr.. Bruner retired from the
race in the same conditions that
he entered it-with the friendli-
est of feeling towards his oppo-
nents and toward the public. He
entered the race because he be-
lieyed it to be his duty to offer
his services to the people of his
district as their district attorney;
he retired from the race because
he believed it his duty to respect
the wishes Of those who appar-
emily desired to place the reigns
of the district attorneyship in the
hands of another. Had he be-
lieyed it his duty to enter the
second race, Mr.. Bruner would
have done so with as little hesi-
tation as he did in the first.
Although the Signal supported
no candidate for district attorn-
ey, and although it was hostile
to the candidates. Of none, we
feel free to say, with all due res
pect to the remaining candidates,
that we believe the qualifications
of Mr.. Bruner for the Office to
which he aspired were sufficient
to justify his election. had they
received due consideration in
every portion of the district. His
campaign was clean and free
from mud-slinging. His own
merits were his only claims to
the Office and they should have
been ample.
Mr.. Bruner has returned to
the practice of his profession in
the law firm of which he is a
partner. He will henceforth de-
vote his time to the practice of
law, and stands ready to serve
his clients as faithfully and as
ably as he would have served the
people of the Eighteenth Judicial
District had they made him their
district attorney.
