Style Notes.
Among the advance models exploit
ed by leading house are two cos
tunes, one combining blue MORE with
black satin, one plain eponge with
plaid. The blue and black costume
consists of draped skirt of black
satin and long belted coat of blue
MORE over which is adjusted a wide
girdle of the black. The suit of eponge
consists of a plain three-piece skirt
with curved over-lappings edges at
the front and charming loose coat.
The skirt is all Of the plain eponge

front and lower edges. The coat is

cal and theoretical work. In the prac-
teal work creamed soups, vegetables.
flour mixtures, meats and simple des-
serts will be prepared, with work in
the serving of meals and menu max
ing. In the theoretical work a series
of lectures will be given on the eco
nomic dietetic and nutritive value of
foods based upon their chemical COM
position also principles involved in
cooking. One hour week will be de-
voted to the theoretical and four hours
to the practical work
1t would be great pleasure to the
officers of the school district to Of
fer these courses free but there are
no funds available for this purpose. In
order to make these courses self sup
porting and to pay the expenses of
opening, lighting, and heating the high
school building a tuition fee must be
charged. For anyone or two of these
courses the tuition will be five dollars,
to be paid in advance. Those electing
the Agriculture and Manual Training
courses may divide the hour and a
half giving forty-five minutes to each.
The same will be true for the cooking
and sewing. The instructors will be
the vocational teachers of the high
school, Mr.. Mac Hoke, agriculture;
Mr.. Ralph R. Colby, manual training
Miss Madeline Libert, cookery; Miss
Edna Goung, sewing. Doctor Albert e.
Winship of the Boston Journal of Edu-
cation, will give continuation lecture
during the first week of the course,
this will be free to all people of Twin
Falls and the Twin Falls country.
Other lectures will be given by in
structors of the University and posi-
bly, of the Normal schools.
The purpose of these courses is to
give to those who have had no train
ing in these practical subjects in their
school life the advantages of this vo-
cational work. The courses will be as
practical and as closely related to the
actual needs of the community as is
possible. An enrolment of fifty,
twenty-five in each department, will
be necessary before it will be possible
to offer these courses. Manual train
ing and agriculture are open only to
men and boys, the cooking and sewing
are open only to women and girls. All
those who are interested in this work
and desire to take these courses
should report their names at once to
the superintendent who will be the
direvctor of the vocational courses.
Anyone in Twin Falls county may
enter these courses.

dent is given: A Colorado man wish
ed to ship his stuff from that state to
Richfield, Ida. Among other things
he owned an old automobile of little
value. He asked his local agent what
the rate would be on the machine and
a rate was quoted. He shipped the
auto in the same car with other stuff
But when he reached Richfield and
undertook to get his auto he found an
additional freight charge of $3.50 as
sessed against it. Taking the matter
up with the railway company, he was
brought face to face with the published
freight schedule and had the $3.50 to
pay.
| Judge D. w. Standrod of the Idaho
commission has been giving this SUBJ
ject deep study in an effort to reach a
solution that will be fair to the rail-
roads and one that will not work hard
ship on the shippers. When cases
of this kind are brought before the
commission that body is compelled by
law to decide in favor Of the railroad
company because of the published
| schedule.
"Of course Judge Standrod safd,, in
| discussing the matter on Tuesday,
"every case must stand or fail on it's
merits. Often where there has been
| misunderstanding the railway COM
pany is anxious to grant rebate. But
you know what the sentiment is as to-
rebating The rebate has been the.
cause of most of our transportation
troubles, and a commissioner who
votes for rebate, even in a meritor-
ious case, subjects himself to the dan
ger of removal from office and prose-
cution.
eve have taken chances in few in
stances, mostly from north Idaho, and
have granted rebates where we were
convinced that grave injustice had
been done the shipper by the wrong
information given out by the local
railway agents. But it is hard to go
into the merits of each individual case
deep enough to get at the real facts,
and the tendency is to dispose of all
such complaints in the routine way,
by the red tape method.
II will be glad to see some plan de-
vised for disposing of these cases with
out wrong or injustice to either side.
I am informed that Pennsylvania has
taken an important step in this mat
ter and l shall await the outcome with
deep interest. Statesman

and having met defeat once in the
election by Brady, and once in the
primaries by Hawley, it was the gen.
eral opinion of those present that he
was still taking soundings before de-
Gliding definitely to trust to the charm
OF a third attempt, and throw new
hat into the gubernatorial ring in
1914. 1t seems that Alexander gained
some considerable notoriety among
the old-time Democrats of the state
last winter by indorsing Judge VIII R.
King OF Oregon in preference to ex-
Governor James H. Hawley of Idaho
for secretary of the interior in Will
sons cabinet.
His discussion of national issues
was briefer than that of the two pre-
ceeding speakers, but he dwelt at con-
siderable length on the ills resulting
from the present Republican state adj
ministration. He expressed it as being
very desirable to the taxpayers and
people of the state generally that a
thorough house-cleaning of the state
capital be had from the rats in the
cellar to the bats in the dome. He
dwelt at length in declaration that
there were no factions in the Demo-
cratic party ip this state, saying that
the party was united, and called for
those present to close ranks and pre-
pare for battle that would surely
result in victory. Mr.. Alexander has a
semi-comic, sarcastic way of present.
ing his arguments that caused much
amusement among those present.
Take the meeting as whole, it was
decided success from Democratic
standpoint. Many new faces were in
the crowd and enthusiasm was ram
pant. The Democrats of the county
seem to be still pervaded with the
bulldog determination that has
caused the other parties to know of
their presence during the last two
county elections. Nothing of local
nature was in evidence at the meet
ing, but it seems fair to predict that
no dearth of material will be en-
countered in filling a county ticket for
the election of 1914.

err the ground rapidly, and in some
counties is would cost $500 or $500
per section to do the same work. This
work Is kept for a permanent record
In the county assessors office. The
entire cost of this work will be saved
in one years assessment as the field
deputies will not need to examine the
land personally SO saving a great deal
of time.
To accomplish the same purpose in
equallzing city property, map of the
city and additions can be used and
the assessed value marked on each lot
so that comparisons can be made be-
tween the lots in each block and also
between the values in all parts of the
city or village. In assessing Twin
Falls the past two years l have pre-
pared such a map of the entire city
and marked on each lot the value at
which 1t was to be assessed for the
coming year. These values were care
fully equalized before the assessment
was made, and the map shown to each
taxpayer when making his assess
ment. AS result of this system,
when the board of equalization met
there were but few taxpayers appear
ed to ask for lower assessment and
they after inspecting the tax rolls were
fully satisfied. The board of equaliza-
ton after careful examination made
but two corrections in the Twin Falls
city assessment for 1913.
The assessor has nothing to do with
fixing the levies and is in no way re-
sponsible for high taxes. He has done
his full duty when complete and
equitable assessment of all property in
the county is made
The above outlined system of equal
lzing the assessment before it is made
can be worked out successfully in any
county in the state. The important
matter of getting the assessments
equalized as between the different
counties of the state can only be sue
cessfully worked out by all the coun-
ty assessors getting together and
agreeing with each other to carry out
a certain definite program decided up
on. 1t is not hard matter to deter
mine the cash market value of any
piece of property, as there are COM
petent judges in every community.
The question is: Should the full cash
value of property for assessment be
its cash market value, or rs, or IS, or
so per cent of it's market value. The
law is very plain in this matter.
With some definite basis agreed up
on by the assessors, on which the as
sessments in all the counties will be
made, most of the adjustments and UNI
equal assessments between the var
lous counties could be avoided The
state tax commission is in a position
to assist and advise the county as
SCISSORS in this undertaking and it is
greatly to be hoped that some definite
working basis can be agreed upon in
the near future.
The writer is interested in equaliz-
ing taxation for every taxpayer in
Idaho. There are many phases of the
subject, which should be more fully
and discussed Let us have
the ideas of others on this subject

If it is necessary for me to relin-
quish my land on account of reduc-
ton in the size of the project and a
corresponding increase in the cost of
water, shall be willing to do so; but
before / assign my land and water
rights to the company | should like to
have you answer the following ques-
tons:
How much money has the COM
pany expended in construction work
in addition to the money paid in by the
contract holders? The contract hold
ers have paid in over $244,O0O.
2.-How much of the company s
money has been spent in trying to fin
ance the project?
3.-In this reorganization plan
how many shares of stock will be held
by the contract holders having an
equity in the project, and how many
will be held by the promoters and rep
reSentatives of the company?
Am re-financing, what per cent of
profit will have to be allowed capital
in financing the project?
5.-What lien per acre do you expect
the land board to allow the reorgan-
lied company in consideration for put
ting the project through? The esti-
mated cost is now $45 per acre, and
under the present basis of 100 per cent
profit allowed by the land board, the
cost to the settlers would be about $50
per acre.
My father also received yeaur letter
and wishes me to say for him that he
is not willing to assign his contract
for stock, but that he would be glad
to do SO for cash. He invested $4,000
and put up 5000 in cash and cleared
40 acres for him. He is n years old,
is unable to work, and needs the
money.

tons and Schedules.

One of the most serious problems
the Idaho public utilities commission
has to face these days grows out of
the differences between the rates quot
ed to shippers by the railway freight
agents and the rates fixed in the sche-
dulles of the various roads.
Courts in various states and the
United States supreme court have held
that when a schedule of rates is filed
with the commission by the railroad
company and is accepted by the COM
mission it becomes part of the law and
takes precedence over any rates given
out by any agent of the company.

A TIMELY WARNING
Well Worth Thinking of at This
Season.

Mr.. Wilbur S. Hill, Editor and Pub
Usher Twin Falls Times, Twin
Falls, Idaho
Dear Sir: We are now approaching
the holiday season with it's attendant
dangers of Christmas fires. You can
do much in the community to warm
and point out to the careless and I'M
thinking the dangers from use of pa
per, cotton and inflammable material
In decorating churches, stores and
Christmas trees.
Children should not be permitted to
light or re-light candles when the
parents are not present. Matches
should not be left within the reach of
children during the holiday time.
Every year in America many children
are burned to death by fire from
Christmas candles.
Holiday fires in church, bazaars and
stores are apt to be holocausts. The
widest possible publicity through the
press and otherwise should be given
to possible disastrous fires started by
careless use of matches, poorly placed
lamps or poor temporary wiring. Elec-
trio wiring should not be changed
without consulting an electrical in
spector or expert Smokers should be
warned against lighting cigars inside
decorated buildings. A word of ad-
vice or caution from you at the right
time may avert a serious fire.
Yours truly,
kUNKELY e KUNKELY.

MISREPRESENTATION
Take Steps to Restrain Collector and
Assessor Of Cassia County.

At the mass meeting held Monday
afternoon by the homesteaders of the
South Side, George Swinderman was
chosen chairman and Bert Wolf secre-
tary. Attorneys G.. A. Johnson, S. T.
Lowe and j. G.. Rogers addressed the
meeting, all giving it as their opinion
that the tax levied against the home
steads of the project by Cassia county
and the state of Idaho is illegal and
cannot be collected.
Many of the leading and best inform
ed farmers expressed the same opinion
as the attorneys, and after thorough
discussion OF the question, a vote was
taken which showed the body to a
man to favor taking steps to fight the
Illegal tax. A committee of five, con-
sistting of G. NJ. Gillett, Geo. Swinder-
man, j. NJ Stoddard. c. M. Gilkey, and
George Craner, was appointed to carry
out the expressed desires of the home
steaders.
The committee met Immediately after
the mass meeting and effected an or
ganization with George Swinderman,
chairman; c. NJ. Gilkey, secretary, and
Z. Nj. Gillett, treasurer The commit
tee has taken steps to restrain the tax
assessor of Cassia county from placing
the homesteads upon which taxes are
not paid, upon the delinquent list.
Meantime an attempt is being made to
get in touch with the homesteaders on
the North Side, who had organized for
the purpose of resisting the tax, and
endeavor to have the two organiza-
tons combine in their efforts, thus re-
ducing expenses and strengthening the
cause.
An endeavor will be made to have
the wateruser's association on both
the North and the South Side take up
the fight against the tax, and if posi-
BILE interest the federal government to
the extent of securing the services of
the reclamation attorneys during the
court proceedings. 1t is the desire of
the homesteaders on the Minidoka pro-
iect to comply with the laws, but they
feel that the taxes are Illegal. and for
that reason will resist until the cues
ton is finally settled The commit
tee appointed by the homesteaders is
endeavoring to have the matter settled
with rs little expenses. both to them-

MISFORTUNE CAME DOUBLE
TO NORTH SIDE RESIDENT
William Wilcott, on Way to Hospital
Snowbound for Seven
Days.

For several days it seemed to Will
liam Wilcott a resident of Union, on
the North Side. that the fates were
conspiring against him. Fortunately,
however, there was a turn in events,
and his recovery from a serious oper-
alton, delayed several days while he
was party of the snowbound O.-W.
r. & N. train on the Murray branch,
now is practically assured.
Mr.. Wilcott had been suffering for
several weeks from what has proven
to be serious case of appendicitis. No
longer able to endure the pain, he
started from his home near Union the
morning when the Murray train was
stalled in the deep snow. For seven
days. until the train was dug out, he
was held with the party Of a dozen
men. AS soon as liberated he came to
Wallace and was received at the Hope
hospital. The operation was success
fully performed and the patient is re-
ported to be in good condition.
