WANNA
Is the Idea That Non-Pafti-
san Government is Real
ly the Best.
(By Edward H. Kintzer. !. }

\ tby EDWARD ii. Kintzer.)
Instead of being an argument for
commission government. when it is
intended shall be added to the msny
municipal ills from which we suffer,
the no1-partisan idea is a potent
reason for not adopting such a char
ter.
Can this proposition be charged
to the stupidity of our so-called re-
formers. or to their desire for an
office with a remuneration approx
mating what could be made from a
fair law practice?
The idea is'not to be entirely dis
missed.
] What is it in municipal affairs
that calls for elimination of polit-
ical parties? II aon-partisan mu-
nicipal government, why not the same
for county, state and national at
fairs?
If party designation is taken out
of municipal campaigns. a DEATH
blow will be dealt to ideals and the
standing for a principle. And this
would again put into campaigns
SANDER, villTfcation, personalities
and all that is worst in politics.
The defense made BY the office
hungry crowd is: National parties
have no issue that pertains to mu-
nicipal affairs"
That may be partially true, but
the Socialists have municipal
program that win furnish enough
local Issues. If our would-be COM
missioners would indulge them.
The fact is, these issues would be
injected into the fight whether or no.
We shall not substitute for our eco
nomic. philosophy the argument OF
the good man" theory; nor win the
private ownership Of public utilities
rest easy while we adopt the claw
and fang method OF oar domestic
lpets. 7i 'ttsSls :
Boston's experience with new
charter furnishes proof Of the fallacy
OF non-partisan government. George
P. Anderson, writer for Pearson's
magazine. says:
The aim OF the promoters OF the
new charter was to smash party
lines ind to break up party fealty.
The charter accomplished this, but
resulted in the injection OF race and
religious issues as substitutes. This
is most unfortunate result, but it
is not wholly illogical. In ordinary
campaigns the candidate of q party
stands for certain principles or ira
d.tions of that part. Take those
away, and the candidates personal
ity is bound to be the leadin issue,
and his race or religion can not fail
to be discussed. Which arrange
ment Is better Boston knows to ner
sorrow. other cities on the edge of
a reform ferment, II they aTe "a.
win pause before following her ex-!
ample"
Who would prefer to make such
a leap. but the one backed by a re-
llisious or racial organization, whose
weight IN party politics now tips the
beam OF the scales in favor of her

Wednesday evening about five
o'clock when the ]. w. Pircil thresh-

STATE BOARD FIX
LAND VALUATIONS

Boise, Idaho. Aug. 21.-After
an all-day session the state board OF
equalization at a late hour today fixed
the valuations on agricultural lands
for the present year. This act does
not affect the grazing, waste, timber
and cutover lands. There are still
to be equalized. In the classifica-
ton passed upon today there were
3,431, 400 acres as returned by the
county auditors and these acres
were assessed in the various counties
at $124, ,657, ,528, or an average OF
$50. an acre. By the action OF
the state board of equalization today
tfis total valuation for the state was
reduced approximately $4,000, 900.
It will be noted that Ada county
values on land are far in excess of
all other counties. 1t is practically
double the value of the next on the
list and practically three times that
of the average value of the state.
Ada county lands are assessed at
$o8. 70 per acre; Nez Perce $55; Can
yon, ,$47.O2; Fremont, $38.12; Bing-
ham. 4o.o5; Latah, $46.O3, Clear
water $25. 80; Kootenai, $35. .O8:Lew-
is, $38.47; Shoshone, $29.37; Bon
ner $33.O2.
1t seems that in arriving at its fin
al conclusion on the value of farm
lands the state board of equalization
brushed aside the. recommendations
of the tax commission. Practically
every assessor in the state was pres
ent at the meeting while the matter
was under consideration, and there
was an abundance of cross-firing
with reference to values in different
countries. Assessor Kincaid of Ada
county considers it extremely unfair
to place a value of $o8. 10 on the farm
lands of Ada county and value of
half that on the farm land of Can
yon county. At the same time he ar
CUES that it would be unfair to the
taxpayers in Boise to lower the valua-
ton on farm lands without making a
corresponding cut on town property.
By the final action of the board the
the assessments placed on this class
of property in Ada, Bannock, Bear
lake; Kootenai, Shoshone and Good
ing counties we're permitted to stand.
There was 10 persent raise in Can
yon and a Is per cent raise in Lin
coin and all other counties were re-
duced 10 per cent.

Potato Tuber

The potato tuber moth is working
such injury to potato crops, especial
ly in Texas and California, that the
Bureau of Eptimology of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture has issued
special instructions to po ;ato growers
to help them overcome this highly
injurious pests.
The department urges potato
growers to sort the potatoes for seed
two weeks after digging and then
over two weeks later. 1t is easy to
pick out th1 infested tubers be-
because of tee excretment of the
moth, which adheres by means of
web to the out side of the potatoes
and can be readily detected. The
unaffected by the tuber moth should
then be placed in a moth proof bin.
The tubers placed in the moth
proof bin, after sorting G should then
be fumigated by means of carbon
bisulphid Cor bisulphdof carbon as it
is also known, in order to kill any
moth which might have bred out
or have slipped in thru crevices, or
when the bin was opened. Carbon
bisulphid is applied by pouring
small quantities into flat vessels such
as milk pans or pie tins. An aver
age of 3 pounds should be used in
1000 cubic feet of space. 1t is
more effective at high temperatures,
80 to 90 degrees Far, being BEST
About a pint is poured into each
receptacle and the pans are placed
in the bins at the top. The gas be-
ing heavier than air naturally pene-
trates the mass of potatoes, reaching
those at the bottom. The bin
should be tightly inclosed for from
"a to 80 hours with good assurance
that the terminating power of the
seed is not destroyed. The utmost
care should be taken that no fire such
as that from ci gar, stove, electric fan
or even a gas light or lamp should
be brought into the vicinity. Other
wise as the gas is very inflammable
a fire may result or a serious explo-
sion may follow.
All potato growers should keep a
careful lookout before and after
fumigation At first the fumigated
seed potatoes and those in the field
should be inspected daily to detect
any growth of the insects; later, OBJ
servation every other day and finally
once a week should be sufficient.
If there is any indication that the
tuber moth is propagating, second
fumigution with carbon bisulphid
should be given
This method of saving seed pota-
toes is so simple, altho very effect
i've, that many potato growers will
disregard it.
