I'm place of u senile legislature

reduction of taxation, and cutting

Of the work appears to be to find some
foolish thing for which to appropriate

that supbosing the governor had cut
out the public examiners Office. Well,
suppose he had, no loss would have

Had many more state offices been
abolished, no loss would come to the
people at large.

WASHINGTON. APRIL Woman
suffrage campaigns In almost every
state OF the Union are henceforthato
be conducted from the new h~eadquar-
tiers in Washington. No. 1920 F street.
| Northwest. Here the women are busy
all day long, receiving Information o.
the progress Of the movement from
every section Of the United States,
sending out instructions and creden-
tials. forming new committees and or
CARNATIONS, all intent on comprehen-
siye preparations for the monster
mass meeting to be held in the CO.

historic advance on the capitol"
when the women delegates will march
in column to the house Of represent
atives and the United States senate
for the purpose of handing in person
their petitions for suffrage to the con-
gressmen OF their respective districts.
Mrs. Helen H. Gardner of the Ma
tional Council of Women and the
Equal Suffrage association, believes
that woman suffrage will surely be
victorious In Michigan on April 7th,
and she and the other leaders are
making their arrangements for the
march III congress, thus combining
a general celebration for the victory
| with the other plans for the advance
ment Of the cause throughout the ma
ton. She is confident that Michigan
will make the tenth state where o
en- can vote, and With her sisters In
the movement she contends that no
better argument for their agitation for
a constitutional amendment giving "a
tion-wide suffrage can possibly be ad.
vanced than this anticipated victory.
1t will prove, she says, that the suf-
frage movement Is still growing rap.

claim of the ants that there Is no

District School
Finances.

There is prevailing evil in our
district schoolsvstem that should
be remedied speedily if we wish
our schools to make any real ad-
vancement. This is the prevail
ing method of financing the
schools, under our present dis
trict system, the various districts
levy their own taxes, or fail to
do so, and the result is that in
most instances, not enough mon-
ey is appropriated to keep the
schools running. Ia many, too
many cases, the teachers are the
real sufferers, as they are not
paid for months at time. There
are number of school districts
in the county which cannot pay
their teachers cash, or even war
rants this year, and the poor
pedagogue is obliged to borrow
and rake and scrape to make
both ends meet. We cannot be-
lieve that this will conduce to a
good school system. Ou- dis
trict school financial system is
antiquated. Put the school tre-
asury on sound basis, and the
best teachers and teaching sys-
TENS Will follow.
We cannot expect good teach
ers to come to us, If they are not
properly remunerated, even if
they come thew will not stay un-
der such conditions.
We propose AS a solution to
the county school problem, that
the county-district system be in
augurated, that is, that each
county be one district under an
efficient board of education with
superintendent and supervisors,
and a proper system of finance.
Then we have the best schools
available. Our neighboring state
Utah, has tried out the system
we advocate here, and it is work
lug splendidly.
Our Oakley people have the
welfare OF the schools at heart.
We want the best things obtain
able for our children. We want
long school terms and the best
teachers to be had. 1t will take
money to get these things, but it
will be well spent.
A talk to secure education is al
ways willingly paid both for
economic and social reasons.
Let us all work for a more eff
cient taxing system for our
schools,

opened its doors to the public on
Wednesday evening with the hest

The general consenus OF the

the evening was that the hall
itself withits beautifulfurnishings
and decorations, and the splendid
pictures is a credit to Oakley,
and would be an honor and or
nament to cities many times the
size OF Oakley.
1t was common assertion
that there is not better vaude-

The hall is seventy-nine feet
long and twenty-six feet wide.
The stage is seventeen feet wide,

but the management did not
spare expense in providing the
best obtainable. The machine
booth is absolutely tireproof, and

to the very strict regulations Of

There are plenty of emergency
exits, so that there is no appar
ent danger from fire.
Taken all together, the new

it to be a financial success to the

Idaho Wins in
Big Land Suit.
ESTIMATED AT SIX MILLION
DOLLARS.

BOISE, March ZS.- Secretary
Franklin K. Lane has handed
down decision giving the state
Of Idaho absolute title to 20s1 60
acres of the finest white timber
land in the country located on
Marble creek in Shoshone county,
and it is estimated at least to be
worth 100000.
The contest for this land has
been on for the past twelve years.
Governor Hunt in 1901 requested
that the land be surveyed. This
was done and in 1905 the state
undertook to file on the land
claiming sixty days preference
right under federal statute over
all settlers. The United States
land Office at Occur d'Aleiie re-
fused to accept the states filings
on the ground that it had not
been notified of the states pref.
erence right and on the additional
ground that it had already ac-
cepted the filings of settlers.
1t developed that they squatted
on the land in the interest of big
lumber companies intending to
sell out as soon as they secured
title.
The state appealed to the com.
missioner ofthe generalland office
and was upheld. The,settlers ap
pealed from this to the secretary
of the interior in 1907 and the
secretary of the interior upheld
the commissioner, but no definite
action was taken IN the matter
until the final decision of Secret
airy Lane. In the meantime the
matter got into politics. Both
republicans and Democrats, in
the campaign leading up to the
generalelection of 1908 promised
TO take steps to compensate the
settlers. In the legislature that
followed resolution was passed
appointing two members and the
land commissioner 20 investigate
and report. This was done and
the state relinquish 5000 acres
to the settlers. William Balder.
son of Boise entered court to en-
join the land board from CARRYING
out the recommendations of the
legislative committee. After a
long struggle in the court the in
junction was granted and in this
way the settlers were deprived OF
any right whatever in Marble
creek land.
This is the most important
case ever handled by the office of
the attorney general of this state
and Joseph H. Peterson, the pres
ent incumbent, who has born the
brunt of the fight, is elated over
the outcome.
