edited by a man whom George didn't
like: "Vol. 1, No. 1, Of the Marys-
vile Globe has reached our exchange
table. 1t is neatly folded and wrapped
and displays considerable ability In

all. Now comes the Emmett Exam

for United States Senator says: "He

allude to a stevedore as husky en-

THEY WILL COME TO THE FAIR

England and Germany are both
preparing to climb down from the po-
sition Of aloofness they assumed in
deciding not to participate in the San
Francisco Exposition, sasy the Oregon
ian. In England a strong committee
of manufacturers has been formed to
urge the government to reconsider,
and it Is backed by newspapers OF
all shades of politics. The London
Times says the ideas which inspired
the aderse decision have been re-
moved. The London Evening Standard
points to the opportunities of increased
trade which are opened by the Pan
anna Canal and the reduced tariff.
The Pail Mall Gazette says an exhibit
would foster the growing good will
between the two countries by proving
the sincerity of England's professions.
The Daily News lays stress on the
new tariff as having changed the con-
ditions which existed when the de-
cision was made In August
There Is every reason to believe
that England will exhibit and, when
England comes in. Germany cannot
we'll stay out. This exhibition, un-
like others, will signalize the open
ing of new fields and new routes
of trade on the Pacific Ocean which
every commercial nation will wish
to enter. The nations can follow it
up by forming new trade connections
on the Pacific Coast of both Ameri-
can continents. by rearranging and
Strengthening their existing connec-
tons and by making a survey of the
new field. Aside from all sentimental
considerations, they cannot, as a mat
ter of business. afford to stay out.
The magnet of Pacific commerce
has too strong an attraction.

PLEASURE BEFORE BUSINESS.

Oregonian: In that gem of litera-
ture, authorship of which Senator
Lewis at first, by implication acknow-
legged and which he then denounced
as a fabrication. Henry M. Pindell,
of Peoria, was informed that, as Am
bassador to Russia, he would have no
thing particular to do. He would be
at leisure to make his official position
ladder up which he and his family
might climb to the highest society
in Europe and enjoy themselves to
the full in the bright effulgence whic'
radiates from Grand Dukes and Sc
rene HighnSsses.
True, a new commercial treaty witt
Russia needs to be negotiated, with
care for the equal rights of American
citizens, but without wounding Rus
sian prejudice. However, that can
wait. With a constantly expanding
foreign trade, which Democrats ex-
pect to grow under the Influence of
their new tariff, we shall surely have
Balkan tangle, wherein Russia will
play leading part, but there Is no
hurry about that. We are vitality
concerned in the affairs of China,
where Russia has already seized Mon
golia and where she Is ever ready to
grasp advantage in a country I'M
armed and torn by dissension, but
why worry? Let the Pindells have
their picnic; then We will send real
Ambassador to Russia. who will at
tend to the arrears of business.
Some inconsiderate persons may re-
mind President Wilson of the high de-
votion to public service which was
promised by him and his lieutenants
but they show indecent haste. The
faithful workers and the original VIII
son men must first browse on the
public payroll for year or two. When
the keen edge is taken off their ap-
petites, we may send real Ambassa-
doris to Russia and other countries
put real financier in charge of the
Dominican Custom Houses, and get
right down to business. The Demo
Gratis have long wandered on short
rations In the desert at the head
waters of Salt River; they must cole
brate teir return to the land of
plenty, must slake their thirst and
expand their Wristbands with good
feeding. before they will be ip condi.
ton to do hard work. Does not every
real gentleman start a new job by
taking a vacation? To quote the phi
losophy of an eminent gentleman of
leisure: "a man should never work
the day after he has been idle"

WHY COMMISSION is PowERLEss

There has been more or less COM
ment on the part of the press of the
state over the decision of the state
supreme court in regard to the powers
OF the new tax commission. The
legislature undertook to do something
impossible for any legislature to do,
and this Is run counter to the con-
stitution of the state. In other words
the legislature passed law creating
a tax commission 10 supplant in some
tways the work of county commission
ers and the state board Of equaliza-
ton, which are authorized to do GER
tain things by the constitution of the
state. The legislature then failed to
place this enactment upon a proper
constitutional basis by having it sub
United to the people for their rat
ification, making 1t part of our
constitutional law. The decision of
the supreme court was to the effect
that a simple enactment of law by
a legislative body cannot set aside
any portion Of the constitution. This
is a commonsense proposition, that
any high school pupil should know.
yet such papers as the Boise Capital
News and others of the same ilk,
would twist this decision into a re-
Election upon the court, and have
people believe that that body show
ed by it's decision that 1t is op-
posed to the policy of a tax COM
mission. The court confined itself
strictly to Interpreting the law in the
case, and made no comment one way
or another as to the desirability OF
a tax commission; and anybody who
has either common sense or honesty
knows the decision was right. Else
where Is published a sensible edi-
torial on this subject from the Rich
field Recorder.
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1913-12-18
PowERLEss COMMISSIONS

Justice was clearly with the state
tax commission when it reduced the
tax assessment of the Franklin &
Hayes brewery in Pocatello, from
the high valuation set on it by the
county board of equalization. The
state law had taken away the value
of the property, by prohibiting the
sale of liquor; and while property
owners must take all their own risks
In investing in this sort Of prescribed
securities, it is clearly wrong for the
state to first legally make the property
valueless and then tax 1t as though 1t
had a high value. The county com
missioners appealed, denying the
right of the tax commission to in
terfere. The supreme court sustained
their contention, on the ground that
as the state constitution gives the
county officers the exclusive taxing
power, their right and duty is su-
perior to any tax board created by
the legislature. In effect it shears
the tax commission of almost every
thing but salary and advisory power.
Based ON the unquestionable right
of a constitutionally created taxing
board to rule in this matter Of assess
ing taxes at home, over any mere
legislative tax board, this decision Is
the only one possible. No court
and few laymen who would study
the question for ten minutes, woulo
say otherwise. The decision does
not say that a central. powerful tax
commission Is undesirable or wrong;
bu. the constitution which expressly
charges the county officers with this

ON MORAL GROUNDS.

The Administrators opposition to
President Huerta's rule In Mexico be-
ing based ON moral grounds, the New
York weekly paper named Mexico"
takes issue with 1t and affirms that
on moral grounds the Wilson policy
should be condemned. It affirms
these facts as justifying condemna-
ton:
THE placing of greater emphasis
on antagonism toward one man than
on the real settlement of a suffering
peoples problems.
by that antagonism helping to
ruin a nation, the vast majority of
whose people only want peace.
By that antagonism and by NOR
al support giving encouragement to
bands Of outlaws, bandits and desper-
ADDS, who loot. blackman and ravish
as part of the days work
by expressing, according to I'M
denied newspaper reports, personal
satisfaction at the temporary sue
cesses Of the bandits against the
forces of law and order.
5-By instituting q financial block
ade, starving out process, which al
though aimed at one man, has brought
great loss and suffering to a whole
nation.
6-By watching like a vulture the
weakness and struggles OF sick peo-
pie, and not lifting a hand to help.
by permitting the press of the
country to misrepresent the true con-
ditions in Mexico and our relations
toward them, when suppressed privat
advices and state department reports
are truly informing.
Nor Is there any reason to expect
that Mexico's sufferings would be
ended by the elimination of Huerta.
Were he driven out, what assurance
should we have of the establishment
of peace and order? Would not Car
rama and Zapata, who 1t is said is
now nearing the City of Mexico
fight for supremacy? Would the var
ious rebel and bandit leaders cease
their ravages? Might not Villa rise
against Carranza, as Orozco rose
against Madero? If he remained
loyal to his chief, what sort of gov
eminent would it be that depended
on such a general? Every battle vii
la has fought has been followed by
massacre and footing. and he has now
openly announced his purpose to lay
tribute on the Spanish citizens, and
is doing it. The New York Sun says
he has a record of homicides which
would make the best record of an
American Killer look very short in
deed" and that ''for the last five
years of the Diaz regime Villa was
prescribed bandit, subsisting from
-obbery and pillage." Carranza's Other
