have lifted the bridge off of its

Congress has resumed bust
ness at the old stand after the
holiday vacation, and the battle
between it and the President
from now on will rage with in
creased intensity until the
sweltering days of next summer.
The President as usual is fight
ing for the money interests, and
in fact almost everybody who
wants to plurder the public as
he expects them to "buy" him
another term. On the other
hand Congress passed several
good tariff bills last summer
which would have greatly bene-
flied the public. Psesident Taft
vetoed those bills as is well
known, simply because he
thought it was the wrong quar-
ter Of the moon or something OF
that sort.

license, at is $50 a quarter
In Mackay each saloon pays S15(
a quarter, and they have no oc
cupation tax either. Property
owners in Challis think tha
they are already paying enough
taxes without having an addi
tional tax forced upon them
Last year under the cash val
ue" system, which nearly doub
led the value of property, came
the State and County taxes OF
this high valuation, then alst
came special village tax of 5.
mills, and a special school tai
of 5 mills, all based of this doub
le property valuation. Ther
there is street grading and side
walks that property owner i.
liable for, SO that With all the
taxes combined it is cheaper t<
rent property than to own it
And now comes an occupation
tax to still burden the already
overtaxed taxpayers. 1t is di
