A Chance to Help Meridian.

This is the time to plan New
Year resolutions, and apropos to
this, we make some suggestions to
the people of Meridian, as we'll as
to those living in the community
around US, in reference to patron
izing home merchants.
The printers of Boise have
asked the leading business men Of
the city to patronize home indus
try by getting their printing done
Of local houses. The allied print
ers trades of Boise has a weakly
pay roll Of $4,000 and is one of
the largest industries in the cap
ital city. The business could be
increased, it is claimed, 20 per
cent. if the printing that now goes
to eastern firms were left in Boise.
Even if the price were little
more, it is made up by the in
creased patronage given the bust
ness men by the workmen.
What is true of the printing in
dustry is true in other lines. We
venture to say, that there is not
merchant in Meridian who, if he
had the trade that needlessly goes
out of town, would not be able to
hire an extra clerk. Ii the Me
ridian Times office could get all
the printing of the merchants
here we could hire another printer
and be would spend about $3.50 a
year with home merchants for
food and clothing for his family.
1t might be argued that the local
Office cannot handle all the book
and blank work. but there is not
any OF this that could not be
bought through the Times Office,
the commission being paid by the
outside printer and making no
extra expense to the purchaser.
If all the hardware used in this
vicinity were bought in Meridian,
both the Vickers-Sim Co. and the
Meridian Hardware Co. could af-
ford another clerk each. If all the
general merchandise were bought
OF the Garrett Mercantile Co.
W J. Hoyne and Harry Tolleth,
they would Immediately add three
men to the payroll in Meridian,
as they could not handle the trade
without extra help. If all the
money in this community were
banked at the First National OF
Meridian, Mr.. Pfaffie would need
another man to help with the ac-
counts. II all the drugs were
bought here, Allen Wilcox and
Willard Turner would each need
another pharmacist. Ii all the
lumber were purchased here each
q the yards run by the Copeland
Lumber Co. and the Taylor Lum-
Der 20 would need anot Ter man.
II all the laundry sent out of Me-
,idian was washed here at home, a
laundry employing at least two
men, would pay.
This is a total of thirteen per
sons who would be employed, ad-
uing at least $3.50 to the amount
oi money spent annually in the
lilies.
This is a matter worth invests
gating. The CARRYING out of this
principle of "buying goods at
nome has been the salvation OF
many a town, and where there IS a
good town there is usually a pros
perous, contented farming COM
munlty around it.

10 Meet lax issue.

Governor Haines has evidently
determined to carry the war into
Africa" in the matter of fixing
the responsibility for high taxes.
From different quarters there have
come suggestions, from political
enemies Of the governor, that his
own campaign slogan of the last
/ year Take your tax receipts to
/ the polls should now be turned
/ against him for the reason that
taxes are higher than evsr; and
that that should be the burden Of
ths fight made against the COVER
nor in the campaign Of nsxt year.
| Governor Haines seems to have
no intention of Sinking the fight.
He expresses himself as ready to
meet the tax issue. He goes fur
ther and asserts that he will still
insist that the voters take their
tax receipts to the polls, and that
they shall study their tax notices
to determine just what is done with
the money raised by taxation.
Concerning this matter the COVER
nor on Friday gave out the fol
lowing statement;
"The statewide discussion Of
the cause Of high taxes which was
started by my recent communica-
ton to the chairman Of the state
tax commission, asking for q
thorough investigation as to the
conditions prevailing throughout
the state. has been gratifying to
to me indeed.
Il desire to have this matter
thoroughly investigated by the
people and there seems to be every
reason at present TO believe that
this will be done. There is one
point, however. on which there
seems to be misunderstanding in
certain quarters as to the stand
taken BY me.
Reference TO my recent letter
to the tax commission will disclose
the fact that | requested Just as
| full and complete an investigation
by that body with reference TO
state Indebtedness and state tax
alton as | asked for with reference
to county, municipal, school dis
trict. road district and all other
forms of Indebtedness and taxa
ton. There was not the slightest
intention on my part to shift any
particle Of responsibility for high
taxation. That part Of this re-
sponsibility which belongs to the
state. the state will cheerfully
assume 1t was my desire, how
ever. to have attention called to
Shs situation as a whole so that
the people could no longer be
made to believe that the entire,
or that the chief, responsibility
rests with the state.
Il want to have the tax bill OF
every taxpayer 50 arranged that
he will be able to see clearly Just
what becomes of the taxes which
he pays. / want to have the
state tax segregated from the
county tax, aud want each unit
of government to bear its full
share of responsibility for the to-
tai tax. no more and no less.
The fact that the state tax Is

GAS WASTE.

Every day in every household a cer- tain quantity of gas is wasted by neg Hgence.
 Except in the case of ovens, the burners of gas stoves should not be lighted until the kettle, saucepan, etc, is quite ready to go on. So often the flame is left burning while the kettle is being filled, or food is being pre- pared for the cooking vessel, and also while food is being dished up" Turn the gas out first and then attend to the cooking vessel is rule that should be rigidly adhered to.
 Why use a large burner when a small one will do2 Also why turn the flame on unnecessarily high? In both cases the excess of power is unneces- sary, and the flame burns to waste, besides being detrimental to the ex- istence of the vessel
 A common eXtraVagance is that of heating milk or water in uncovered saucepans-a method which takes twice as long as if a proper lid were provided. A plate or saucer is equally efficacious if no lid is available, and saves both time and gas.
 Here is an efficient gas saver: Buy a square sheet of iron-sold by the pound at the shops and cut to any size-ight one burner of the stove and place the sheet iron on top The heat travels through the iron so quick ly that several saucepans can cook their contents at the same time with only one burner going.

TARIFF COMMISSION.

Just how much sincerity there is ! back of the alleged growing democratic desire for a non partisan tariff conn ! mission may be gained from the fact that whatever demand they are mak- ing in it's behalf is being urged to fol- low the enforcement of the revision under the tariff for revenue only pol icy. It is just about as one leader in the house declared when the matter of
 a tariff commission was being defeated, that it wasn't so much that he op-
 posed the tariff commission idea as it
 was that he didn't believe that then was the proper time to consider it.
 In other words. in his opinion, the consideration of tariff commission should not occupy the attention of con- gress until the democratic ideas con corning the tariff and free trade had been put into effect
 The growing desire for the estab- lishment of such a commission is thus too plainly indicated. The desire is to have it operate upon and in accord ance with the democratic theory. If there was a true demand for non-p par tisan action in regard to tariff revision and determination to get it through the results which a commission could obtain. working for such an end rather than for the vindicatfon of either free trade. or high protection. such was possible before bringing about any rev olution in economic conditions. It may make little difference from which di- reetion the ideal is approached, but it is certain that little will ever be gained until the greatest emphasis is pIaced upon the non-paTtisan aim in the effort.

ELECTRIC ROAD GROWTH.

An instance of the rapid growth of the electric roads in New England is evidenced by the proposed excursion of trolley road officials which will bring them from all points in New England states to and through this city on their way to their national convention. This has been possible only in the past few years during which the need of trol- ley expansion has been realized and the requirements so we'll met that this part of the country has been covered with a network of lines both for sub urban and interurban traffic.
 The electric road furnishes a service which can be gained In no other way and how great the demand has been for it and how generous the response is perhaps no better indicated than by just such a trip as the New England railway men have planned. There still remain many links to be completed which will facilitate extended trips in all directions, but the trolley lines have come to stay and it is only matter Of time when all cities will be joined by electrics as they are by highways.
 Not only do the electric lines furnish a delightful method of seeing the coun- try for touring and pleasure parties, put they are declded convenience and necessity in every day life and the service which they render. both in the carrying of passengers and freight, is of material benefit to business. The country is brought nearer the city, and cities nearer together, in a man ner which means a betterment to every point along such lines. Every city and it's suburbs know the value of the trolley and it will render a much great CT benefit before it reaches the point in it's development where there is no more territory to invade

CONCERNING WOMEN.

Collapsible baby carriages have all most gone out of use in Christiana, Norway, owing to the agitation against them started by a local physician, a specialist in children's diseases.
 Mrs. Winifred Harper Cooley, presi- dent of the Associated Club of Domes- tic Science recently undertook to live on g cents a day and is said to have Succeeded beyond her expectations. The report does not say that she has concluded to keep it up.
 A New York magistrate said the oth- CT day that if a woman could earn more money dressed as man there was no law to prevent her using male attire. Dr. Mary Walker, who always wears mems clothing, has a special permit from congress to do so.
 The survey report of Caroline Bart lett Crane in Minnesota is being used by the women of that state as text book on sanitation. Those who did the work well found recognition in the re- port, it is said, and careless officials have been awakened to some sense of their responsibilities.

MADERO'S DEATH.

It was frely declared when the mil ftary investigation into the death of Madero and,Saurez was begun in Mex ico that the verdict could be predictN1 and the decision at the end of six months of investigation bears out the claim so confidently made. Nothing more has been found out conce:aing the putting out of the way of those who stood n~the way of the new heads of the republic. In announcing that no punishable crime had been com mitted the commission neither offers a solution of the mystery surrounding their deaths nor attempts to place thc blame on anyone.
 The inconsistency of the decision is well poirted out by the BostCn Tran script when it says that 'Inasmuch as homicide is punishable by Mexican law and the commission does not allege that lMadero and Suarez committed sui eide. the wonder is that it did not re- turn a finding of accidental death. The comm andant of the guard sur rounding the automobile from which Madero and Suarez were taken out dead is acquitted. Perhaps he is en- titled to acquittal. for there are Mex jeans who believe that Madero and his companion were murdered in the palace and that their bodies were put into the automobile. An arranged am buscade with an exchange of shots be- tween guard and pretended assailants could be easily provided"
 It is the fact that what happened was so much in accord with what the new forces at the head of the govern ment desired that makes the meaning less decision and the whole investiga- tion so farcical.

CURTAINS AND COLOR.

Silk of a color that harmonizes with the room and is of a light quality makes a charming finish as side dra- pery on the windows, but is not essen tial, unless the room is very plain and hard looking, and the silk should not be extended over the window to ex- clude the light. The old style of hay ing the drapery meet across the win dow at the top and held back half way down by loops is out of date There are excellent designs also in thin, silky madras that looks well on the windows, and many other cotton draperies that are suitable and will not keep out too much light cost a great deal less than real silk. Bought by the yard these are far less expen- sive than when bought made up in curtain form, and. as the modern and very sensible fad is to have the cur tains reach only to the sill of the win dow, you do not have to buy very many yards.
