STRIKE BLOW
IAT TAX BOARD
IDAHO TAX COMMISSION HELD TO
HAVE ADVISORY POWER
ONLY.
Supreme Court Holds Tax Commission
Act Constitutional But That Board
Cannot Usurp Powers.

BOISE, Ida, Dec. 1.-(SpeciaD
The State Tax Commission of Idaho
was given solar pluexus blow so
far as it's mandatory power is con-
cerned, through an opinion handed
down by the supreme court holding
that the commission can only act in
an advisory capacity. In stripping the
commission of power to supervise
county and state boards of equaliza-
ton, the court ruled that the legisla-
ture did not intend the commission to
usurp or perform the duties of asses
sors or such boards.
The opinion was handed down on
application for writ of mandamus to
compel the commissioners of Bannock
county to certify on its tax rolls the
revised assessed valuation the tax
commission found for the Franklin
Hayes brewery property. This the
county commissioners refused to do.
The supreme court denies that appli-
cation.
1t is held, however, by the court that
the act creating the tax commission
is constitutional, but it is also held
that the legislature had no right to
vest the commission with powers that
the constitution conveys to the county
and state boards of equalization and
that the tax commission has not the
power to compel these boards to ac-
cept it's views.

Ants Eat Through Lead Cables.

White ants are causing much trou ole in .south Australia in telephone cables and also in the underground electric light lines. On the read sheathed telephone cables crosses be. tween the circuits began to occur Upon withdrawing some of this cable from the ducts it was found :hat the ants had eaten through the lead in many places. On the Sidney system of electric lighting the ants ate through the btumen compound and then through the lead and high te" sion insulation next to the wire. To stop the ravages which will incur an enormous expense if not checked, arsenious oxide mixed with bitumen, a sort of pitch. is being applied to the .ables, Carbon bisulphide is also be. ing tried with the idea that the odor will drive the ~nts away.

DOES MUNICIPAL
 OWNERSHIP PAY? Most Certainly It Does Say Duluth F eople Who Have
 Saved Millions. CITY OWN PLANTS Net Earnings Ire Increasing Annual
 Iy-Nater Rates Being
 Reduced.
CITY OWN PLANTS

Docs municipal ownership pay ill Duluth? The report of the Duluth water and light commission just issued fully answers the question, says an exchange.
 Duluth has owned her own gas and water plant for almost 13 years and during that time there has been l saving 10 the people in gas and wa ter rates over the rates charged by the old gas and water company more than $3,0o0 GOO.
 In round numbers there have been saved to the consumers of gas and water from 1899 to 1912 exactly $3.1U,1S15.74, which is within $1o0,r OG0 of the bonded indebtedness of the plant.
 The entire water and gas system has been enlarged and is in better condition in every part than the old plant which was acquired. The oper- tlllOI Ol llG liIellt l'NNl N2toD 1 lished upon a strictly business basis i l'aYOriteS of water consumers has been abolished. The business of the department has been divorced from the influence of politics.
 Water rate to consumers have heel 1 reduced from S1 go per thousand cubit 1 feet to 15 cents per thousands cuhit feet The saving of S3,000,000 result ing from cheaper water andgas rates has been left in the pockets of tht i consumers of water and gas, some thing which could not apply unde i private ownership.
 The people are now getting pur water, something they did not hay in the old days. A regular collection and analysis of samples of the wate is taken and i'll every instance it ha been found 10 be absolutely pure.
 The following schedule shows some thing of the growth of the gas an water plant, it's steady increase in re ceipts and it's flattering increase i earnings:

COTTON BELT
 COOPERATION
Inquiries Relative to the Development of Live stock Interests of Ar kansas Given Attention
 by W. R. Beattie.

Every inquiry received by the Cham velopment of the live stock interest of Central Arkansas has the persona attention of w. R. Beattie, formerly connected with the United States de partment of agriculture and who is now the agricultural and industria commissioner of the Cotton Belt Rail road Company. To show the thorough ness of this cooperation the follow ing letter from Mr. Beattie to one O. the inquiries is printed by the Graphic It is such excellent information as MT Beattie is furnishing that counts fol so much in building up our State:
 Dear Sir: At the request of the Little Rock Board of Trade we are to- day sending you literature relative to lands in Central Arkansas, also writing you regarding the same.
 ''In the first place, l would like to suggest that there has just recently been developed a great interest in the live stock industry in Central Arkan- sas. A packing plant has been con- structed at Little Rock and is now in operation. However, this plant is not securing anything like the quan- tity of live stock needed to keep ii running to it's full capacity. There has recently been organized and is now under construction a packing plant at Pine Bluff, Ark. Thus you will readily see that there is going to be market at close range to the points of production.
 Central and South Arkansas is pri- marilly a live stock region. Pasture grasses thrive for nine or sometimes even ten months of the year, and by planting such chops as buh clover winter oats, rye, etc., it is possible tc have green pasture the year round The period of time that stock must be sheltered is very short; in fact, range stock is not sheltered at any time o1 the year. However, they would d. better if they were given shelter fol two or three months during the winter.
 "The writer was connected with thu United States department of agricul ture for about twelve years, and fol seven years gave special attention tt the Southwest, including the Centra Arkansas region. 1 do not know of locality in the United States today where live stock can be grown al cheaply as it can in this region. Coco hogs, ready for the packing hous have been grown for 3-4c per pound and Sc per pound is the maximum cost of growing hogs under any con dition in this region
 While there is need for develop ment of the .dairying industry, ther is still greater demand for the pro | duction of beef cattle; in fact, ther is a great opportunity just at presen for a good live man who will bull silo, and go into tha business C
