The Elks will give a dance on Thurs day and several of the clubs will give smokers. It is to be a care-free week with nothing to do but have one grand, good time.

THE TAXES.
Idaho Falls Register

Idaho Falls Register
Idaho Falls, Ida, Dec. 6, 1913.
Editor Register:-Taxpayers are
receiving their tax notices Just now
and find that the taxes are about 1t
per cent higher than last year. This
has set some of them doing a little
figuring and looking over the tax re-
ceipts of past years. AS result one
of the taxpayers has found something
like this: The tax on a certain 100
acres within three miles of Idaho
Falls postoffice in 1903 was $43.08.
The tax on the same land, with not
to exceed $4,000 of taxable valuation
added as improvements and personal
property for 1913 was $321.29. In
other words, with only $4,000 of tax
able Valuation added, the tax for
1918 is about six and one-half times
greater on the same property than in
1918, which is an increase of over
500 per cent in ten years.
Where will such ration bring us?
Further, the taxes for 1909, on prac-
tically the same taxable property as
in 1913, was $124.90. The increase
of taxes for 1913 over those of 1903
was two and one-half times and rep
resents about $50 per cent increase
in four years If this property paid
it's fair proportion of taxes in 1903,
1909 and 1913, the query rises: Is
the cost of our district, county and
state government so greatly increased
in ten and four years as to require
six and one-half and two and one
half times, respectively, the revenue
that it did at the beginning of the
ten-year period? And If so, wherein
are the people benefited by such ad-
ditional cost, Or, what have those
in authority to show for the increas-
ed expenditures

SILENT SUFFERERS.

An eastern writer has recently cal
led attention to the extent that horses
suffer in silence, since God has de-
MED them voice to exclaim when in
pain. Dogs whine and yelp, and cats
scream when suffering, but horses
seldom utter a single cry. Most hors-
es die in pain and expire in silence
or utter merely a moan. ALI obser-
walton shows that they almost invar-
iably endure their agony in silence.
The hunter who has been staked will
rush on his course till he drops from
loss of blood. The cart horses of
our busy cities make no audible conn
plant under the lash of the whip, the
strains of an overload, or the stupid
jerking of the reins by ignorant driv-
ers. 1t cannot be that they lack the
will, but they have been denied the
power.
This fact sohuld teach all men INTO
use horses with great tenderness and
consideration. The man who is gen.
tie with horses has good heart. A
clerk who had been apparently faith
|~ful for many years was convicted OF
cruelty to a horse. Later his books
showed that he had been guilty OF
embezzlement, and within year his
wife got divorce from him because
he had checked her.

THE NEW SESSION OF CONGRESS
Many Important Bills to Come up
Before the Lawmaking Body at
This Meeting.
Weekly Letter to Republican.

Weekly Letter to Republican,
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. g.
Interest usually surrounding the OPP
ening of new session of congress
was absent last Monday al though
this session promises tremendous leg
islative activity. While the first ses-
sion OF the sixty-third congress end
ed at noon, and the second was usher
ed In by formal proclamation OF the
vice president and the speaker of the
house, the immediate status of legis-
lation was little different from what
it was when the senate and house ad-
journed Saturday afternoon.
President Wilson appeared before
the two houses at / o'clock Tuesday
and read his annual message at a
joint session in the house chamber
Aside from this formality. inaugural
ed last April and the presentation in
the house of annual estimates for
federal expenditures, the first days of
the new sessions were scarcely dis
tinguishable from the closing days
of the old. For the first time in many
years, congress will step over from
one session to another without a
break in the routine business. y
The significance of the new session
lies in the fact that it opens the
GCodgates for legislative activity, and
inaugurates a period that promises to
be crowded with the consideration of
important projects, and prolific in leg
islative enactment.
The extra session just ended was
limited by informal agreements with
President Wilson, to the considera-
tion of tariff and currency reform,
and nothing that might interfere with
those issues was taken up. The cur
rency bill still dominates the situa-
tion as the new sessions begins, but
the administration program of anti
trust and railroad legislation, which
is to follow, must share the field with
a score or more of other important
subjects.
The new session probably will wit
ness more activity prior to Christmas
than any of recent years. Democrat
is leaders propose to hold the senate
to thirteen-hour sessions, with no
Christmas vacation, unless the cur
rency bill is passed before the time
set for the holidays. In the house,
meantime, an effort will be made to
dispose of several of the annual ap-
preparation bills before Christmas,
so that appropriation legislation will
interfere as little as possible with
the consideration of other matters.

A steer Is taken from a ranch, in
no sense wild except as he is made so
by familiarity with the cowboy. Driv-
en- into the enclosure the steer is
given the magnanimous start of fifty
feet. Then, mounted upon his horse
the cowboy rides till he comes up to
him. The trick is for the contestant
to overtake the steer, leap from the
horse to his back, or onto his neck,
seize the horns, slide to the ground,
and then sink his teth into the nose
or under lip of the steer in the mean
tire twisting the neck till the animal,
weakened from pain, is thrown to
the. ground. The picture, omitted,
shows the utter helplessncss Of the
great animal in the hands OF his tor
mentor.
The third photograph represents
the victor in the struggle In the mo-
r .ent of his triumph striking an aiti-
tide while the crowd shouts its re-
Wording applause.
Sometimes, when the pubic sense
OF decency and humanity has d cE:'',ce
to express itself, the fastening of the
teeth of the cowboy into the nose Or
lip of the steer is eliminated. In
| that case the thumb and fingers are
sunk into the sensitive part of the
nose and the victim, subdued by this
bulldog grip, yields in the fight for
supremacy.
At the exhibition to which we have
referred thousands of feet of moving
picture films were made for use over
the country Our humane societies
are therefore liable soon to learn that
these demoralizing scenes are to be
reproduced in their communities.
Comment upon this degrading form
of entertainment is unnecessary. 1t
carries it's own condemnation among
humane and intelligent people. A
determined agitation on the part OF
those who can influence public opin-
ion will eliminate this evil in time
as it has so largely the bull-fight.-

The interior department has issued
an order touching the patenting of

money to continue improvements and

feel that a great hardship is being

Mr.. French has taken up the mat

SMITH WANTS WESTERN
DELEGATIONS TO UNITE
Thinks That Party Lines and Other
Differences Should be Swept to one
Side When Legislation Affecting
the Whole West is Considered.
Weekly Letter to Republican,

weekly Letter to Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
In discussing legislation desired by
the west recently, Congressman
Smith expressed sentiment which
will find hearty response in the
hearts of all true westerners. He
said:
Recent developments convince me
that it may be necessary for western
delegations to act in unison on GER
tain measures, as a matter of self
protection.
"The eastern section of the coun-
try is particularly favored because
of the seat of government being 10
Gated here. All the senators and
representative are required to spend
most of their time here, and because
of this fact they are all advised re-
garding the legislative needs of the
central and eastern part of the coun-
try, but they are not required to in
form themselves in regard 10 the
great Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast states and, as a consequence
they are handicapped by lack of in
formation when questions peculiarly
applicable to that section are under
consideration. What actual know
| ledge can the new member have Of
| the legislative needs of that country
who have never been west of the
Mississippi river? What can he know
about the necessity of proposed
! changes in the homestead laws, the
desert land laws, the dry farming
act, the reclamation law, the mining
| law, and numerous other laws effect
| ing that country? And yet we all
| knom of instances, many of them
| where members refuse to follow the
| opinion of those who know by actual
experience and observation the hard
ships imposed on the pioneer farmer
| because of the unjust provisians OF
| our public land laws.
"It SENS to me that every mem,
| Der of the committee on public
lands. mines and mining, irrigation
and agriculture and forestry should
be expected to make trip through
the west at government expense il
necessary in order that he may have
first hand information before he is
called upon to consider in respon,
sible way legislation effecting the
interests of that section of the coun.
