Special Committee Report.
The special committee of the COM
missioners appointed to ascertain to
what fund the taxes of the state were
appropriated, submitted the following
report at the morning session:
1--WE, your committee appointed to
ascertain to what funds the taxpay-
ers' money goes, beg leave to report
as follows:
eve have compared the tax levies
of eight counties, namely, Ada, Bon
ner, Bonneville, Gooding, Kootenai,
Latah, Lemhi and Twin Falls and
We find that upon a valuation of
$1,000 that the eight counties pay an
average tax of $37, of which the fol
lowing amounts are apportioned to
the following funds:
county '..'.... ............. 4.335
Road and bridge ....... 1855

tL1ounts that approximately TOP per
cent of the taxes go to support the
state, 11.72 per cent to the county,
Gas per cent for the construction of
Dads and bridges 31.35 per cent for
the support of our schools and 4343
FER cent for maintaining our city gov

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
county Commissioners and Assessors of the State Prefer
Commission To Board Suggest
Many Changes

After adopting resolutions with
many recommendations to the legis-
lative committees, the county com
missioners and assessors of the state
adjourned their conventions, which
nave been in session in Boise for
three days. last Thursday afternoon.
The joint session of the officials re-
suited in the adoption of resolutions
recommending that the legislature
make many changes in the laws at
fecting commissioners, assessors and
laws which come in conflict with the
operation of the offices.
Among some of the important was
one for the election of county com
missioners for the term of two, four
and six years, with a maximum sal
airy of $1,000; each county to cruise
and classify timber lands at the earl
lest possible moment; automobiles be
taxed by the county in which they
are owned; state tax commission be
elected instead of appointed and
that the charges of non-support be
considered felony instead of a mis-
demeanor
One of the features of the closing
hours of the session was the unani-
nous opposition to the recent law
lector of taxes. All the commission
ers with the exception of one went
on record as opposed to the law on
account of the additional duties and
troubles that would be involved in
making the change from having the
assessor the collector.
Officers Chosen.
The convention reelected the fol-
lowing officers:
o. G. Zuck, Twin Falls, president.
George F. McCombs, Bonner, vice
president
w. B. Mitchell, Canyon, secretary.
William Briggs, Ada, treasurer.
The selection of the place for the
next convention was left subject to
the call of the president.
The resolutions committee submit
ted the following resolutions, which
were laid on the table for the legis-
lative committee to take up at the
next session of the legislature:

EscheW The Borrowing Habit.

Home and Farm.
The borrowing habit is bao hab-
it. One ought to borrow only in an
emergency, and those emergencies
ought rarely to occur, because they
should be foreseen.
Don't borrow, but buy Whatev-
er you want, or to put it in wiser
way, whatever you need, on the
farm, you ought TO own 1t ought
to be your farm implement or house
hold utensil, and you ought to take
care of 1t. If 1T is yours you get a
great deal more service out ofit than
you do if you borrow your neigh
boris. There are many things you
need on your farm, and you may not
be able to get them all at once. Get
what you can this year. See to it
every year that part OF your crop
goes into Improvement of stock, of
fencing. of roofing; goes into some
machinery that will tighten your la
Dor; that is, that will make your la
Dor more valuable in time.
Home and Farm does not teach ex-
travagance, either in expectations
or in action. 1t teaches economy
and self-denial. 1t does not approve
much of debt, but IN season and out
it teaches the value of improved
farm machinery, improved household
cOnyepienceS.

Curative Value Should Govern Branding.
New Albany Gazette.

New Albany Gazette.
The Democratic House, through
the initiative of Representative
Shirley, OF Kentucky, its author. has
adopted measure recommended by
President Taft which is INTENDED to
correct a serious defect in the pure
food law. The defect came through
a decision of the Supreme Court in
effect that the Pure Food and Drug
Act did not cover false claims re-
garding the curative properties of
medicines and that manufacturers
complied with the law in stating
merely the ingredients of their goods.
The Sherley bill amends the law so
as to provide that drugs shall be held
"misbranded if the package or label
shall bear any statement, design or
device regarding the curative or
therapeutic effect of such article
which is fraudulent.

Regard Your Petitionary Right Like Ballot

Aberdeen Examiner.
An exchange speaks of "abuse Of
the pardoning power" 1t would
better describe the situation by SUBJ
stituting "the petltioning power, !"
which is a constitutional guarantee.
Few people realize the weight behind
an ordinary application: There is a
petition, numerously signed, con-
tanning names of many of the best
citizens and frequently that of dis
trict attorney, and backed by skill
and tact of good lawyers. and often
aided by tears and prayers of women
and children. If there was less a.
buse of the right of petition" there
would be less complaint as regards
exercise of THE pardoning power. y

tains the usual proportions of adam

Our good friend Senator Joe Nor
wood of the Magnolia Gazette, has
advanced motion that the legisla-
ture be called into special session to
enact banking laws, to provide a.
gainst the wrecklng of banks which
has become so common in Mississip
pi in late months. The Herald is OPP
posed to special sessions, except in
extreme emergency cases. but be-
lieves that there might be something
of sound economy in such q move
ment just now considering what Joe
saws that if such a law could be writ
ten into the statute books and save
few shaky banks, 1t would more than
Justify the expense OF the session.
He cites several recent bank ia lures
in his section wherein the people as
depositors lost in each instance more
than enough thousand dollars to
meet such extra session expense.
The Herald outspokenly endorsed
the action before this legislature in
its session in 1912 looking to banking
law reform and was seriously dlsap-
pointed that all such proposed meas
ures failed.

EDITORIAL

Give the farmers cheap money, IS
a rising cry going up in Mississippi,
with the accompanying persuasion
that If the bankers and money hoc-
ers will but SO favor them, they In
their turn will give the people cheap
farm products, and thereby reduce
the cost of living. There is sound
logic in this proposition and we need
more money lenders like the Grenada
banker who offers it to farmers under
certain sound business conditions, at
4 per cent. Since the Grenada man
made his offer few more capitalists
have dropped into line and we hope
to see enough others open up their
hearts and money-chests in this way
to supply the proper financial needs
of the farming interests for the seY
eral sections of the state.

One of the cardinal principles of
a prosperous section as set forth by
that perhaps greatest writer on
economics, Mr.. Adam Smith in his
Incompatible book: The Wealth OF
Nations" is that each section of ev-
cry land should SO manage to IN as
far as possible. raise enough to live
within its own resources and then
have some to send away TO the mar
kets to feed the lesser fortunate peo-
pies of earth to be converted into the
current media to represent the earn
ed surplus wealth, over and above
what's used in the so-called baland of
trade exchange. This is not direct
quotation, as we havn't the book
handy as we write. but is the sense
of his contention and any thoughtful
reader can readily see the sound
wisdom of it.

Abuse Of Good Roads Must Be Prohibited.

Magnolia Gazette.
The Board of Supervisors of Greene
county has published an order limit
ing the weight of loads which may be
hauled over the public roads to four
thousand pounds.
If our memory is not in fault, the
Board of Supervisors made such an
order for Pike county some eight or
ten years ago, fixing the maximum
load at six thousand pounds, but the
law is more honored In the breach
than in observance.
In fact so far as we have been able
to learn, absolutely no attempt has
been made to enforce the supervis-
ors' ordinance, and our roads contin-
ne to be ruined by great eight
wheeled wagons loaded with four,
five and sometimes as much as seven
tons.
france IS SAID TO nave the hneSt
public road system in the civilized
world, and the comparatively small
republic is perfect net of macada-
mixed thoroue hfares which are JOY
to man and beast alikd But France
is not contented with merely build
ing good roads. She sees to it that
they are not abused by the travel
ing public The width of tire, for
instance, on different classes of We
hicles is specifically described and
required by law. and the weight of
loads is also subject to statutory
regulation.

Newspaper power is mind power
the original power which creates and
governs the universe. 1t is the SUI
preme power in human society. 1t
simplifes matters to keep in mind
that as newspaper men we deal Who'll
ly with thought;we influence thought
inform, change, crystalize and ener-
gize it into action.
The newspaper seeks to direct con
trolling public oplnion. It's first
function, therefore, in the exercise
of its power as factor in progress,
is to inform ignorant public opinion.
There is nothing more changeable,
more malleable than public opinion.
1t is in state of fiux, being contin-
uaIly modified by changing eondi-
tions and fresh information. The
fundamental basis OF newspaper pow
er is publicity. Publicity is the dy-
manic force that moves society to
action; it is an engine of progress.
It is through such public service
that the newspaper rises to it's high
est mission. The newspapers may
perform valuable service to humane
ty by exposing the oppression and
cruelties Of greed and despotism a.
mong inartlculate masses; among
peoples who have no public voice Of
their own.
The iungles of society have been
cleared. the rapacity of greed check

to the creation and crystaIizing Of
the public opinion Of the civilized
world. No throne is too high and no
