the reach of the state land board of
equalization. The same conditions pre-
vail in other counties ON other kinds
OF property. The tax commission that
l advocated last winter and that l still
favor, will, if my ideas are carried out,
have the power to compel the county
assessor to do their duty in this respect
or can .report delinquencies up to the
state board of equalization and have
the correction made by that tribunal.
with the appointment of tax
commission and with the amendments
in regard to fixed levies and the aboli-
ton of the absurd 40 per cent rate for
taxation purposes, Idaho will have a
better revenue system than any other
state. Equal and exact justice will
be done to all taxpayers. There will
be no complaint from any source and
it will be an impossibility to have
wrongs done any taxpayer in the fu-
ture. | realize that in the great effort
that has been made for the last year
and half to enfore the law in regard
to revenue an injustice has necessarily
been done in some individual cases.
There is no great reform on any subject
but what is bound to entail some in
dividnal loss. l believe even those
who most bitterly opposed my views at
the outset are now conceding their cor
rectness and. l cannot conceive that
any man in the state would desire to
return to the old system. Certainly
no man has yet has appeared as candi-
date for any office who has the courage
to say that he, if elected, would stand
for violation of the law and return to
the old conditions. -

TARRIF FRAUD ON LABOR.

The United States Bureau of Labor,
of which DR.. Charles P. Neill is the
chief, has delivered what probably will
rank, in years to come the severest of
the many indictments against the high
tariff policy. This indictment is in the
form Of q report, just issued on the
conditions in the wooden mill industry
Lawrence, Mass, out of which grew
the strike Of last winter.
The wooden trust is one of if not
the greatest beneficiary of the high
tariff.For years and years agents of
this trust have appeared before com.
mittees Of Congress with the plea that
the high tariff ON wool was needed to
protect American workmen,o and to
maintain the American Standard of
living" In the face of these preten-
tions, and in the face that the tariff
rates on wool were raised to the out
side limits desired by the trust, Com.
missioner Neill's report shows that the
wages are SO low in the wooden indus
try that women and Children are forced
into the mills to keep families from
starving.
"Of the employees in the milln Mr..
Neill says, " only about half are the
adult males. The average wages for
al, counting full time work, hardly is
% . week, and one-fourth of the EN-.
ployes get less than ~ per week. This
ID for full time work, aud it 10 Only for
1 part Of the year that the employees are
worked full time.
] This report furnished the final
chapter to the exposure the Democrats
in Congress have been making Of the
MgA tariff fraud upon labor. It is an
smpeftial report, and the mill owners
cinnot say that Neill is an irresponsible
agitator which epithet they applied to

Boy Robbers
Were Guilty

Ben Gilbert and Bert Teachout,
the two Grand Junction boys who
robbed the Globe Express company
of $4,000, being shipped to the Som
erset mines above Delta, to meet the
pay roll for a month last summer,
are to pay penalty for their daring
crime.
The boys 'fessed up at the time
and it will doubles be remembered
by Independent readers, after good
sweating" and promise of liberty
by the Express company after the
money was dug up in the yard near
one of the boys home and returned
but District Attorney Logan of this
city considered the crime too serious
to drop in that manner and the both
were re-arrested after being turned
loose.
One of the pair had gone to Cali
fornia and he was taken up in that
state and brought back for hearing
with his pal in crime at the term of
court in Grand Junction which closed
last Saturday. The Grand Junction
News, in commenting on the case, has
this to say:
There was much conjecture con-
cerning the sentence that will be i'm
posed by Jodge Sprigg Shackleford
upon Bert Teachout and Ben Gilbert
recently convicted for stealing $14,-
600 from the Globe Express company.
In the same verdict which pro.
nounced them guilty of the crime as
charged, the jury made recommends
ton to leniency. Since that time
members of the jury and others have
interceded with District Attorney j.
r. Charlesworth to the end that he
join with the attorneys who represent
ed the defendants in plea to Judge
Shackleford that they both be given
sentence to the state reformatory
instead of the penitentiary. There is

PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE
Station In Maine Has Arranged to
Turn Out Half Billion Lobsters
This Year.

Half a billion Holsters will be the
number Matched at the government
station at Boothbay Harbsr. Maine.
for the present year. 1t is a huge
figure. bigger than most people can
realize. 1t will also mark a record
for the number of shellhsh brought
to life at the government place.
At the present time there are at the
Boothbay hatchery 1889 seed lob
sters from which eggs will be secur
ed
The season for collecting the seed
ers extends into the spring of the
year, so that it is safe to say that
fully two-thirds as many Holsters as
have already been collected will be
added to the number on hand The
average number of eggs secured from
the mother lobster is 10000. The per-
centage of fertility of these as they
are hatched at the government station
is so high that 1t is safe to say that
practically all of them will be hatch
ed.
Reckoning on this basis, the num-
Der of seeders now at the hatchery
will produce 27OOO0,OoO Holsters. The
number yet to be collected will very
nearly total up to 500,000.000.

Who Invented Paperf

All the world knows that the Arabs

we do our sums. but II IL not gen
orally known that we also have them
to thank for paper At various times
the scholars OF different countries
have tried definitely to determine the
real discoverer OF paper In the elev-
enth century. 1t is to paper that we
owe the renaissance OF letters. From
time imemmorial something answer
ing modern paper was used In China.
where II was manufactured from SIX.
About the middle of the seventh CEN
tury OF our era there seems to have
been established in Arabia manufac'
tory OF paper, and fifty years later the
way was discovered to make 1t from
cotton instead of from silk, silk being
a rare commodity outside OF China at
the time, and cotton relatively plenti.
full. In the reign OF Henry II. OF
France a Greek scholar was sent to
Paris to arrange systematically cata.

royal library, and a notation In his
hand speaks of what was then known
