Fight Looming Up.

The progressive" wing of the ma
tional committee promised a fight over
the question of deciding contests of
delegates at the proposed national con-
vention. Several plans of deciding be-
tween contesting delegates were under
discussion. One was to give the con-
vention itself and deprive the national
committee of the power to decide con-
tests as was done at the 1912 conven-
ton at Chicago.
President Wilson's plan for pres-
Dental primaries, with national con-
ventions only for ratification purposes
and platform framing by the senator
ial and congressional candidates them
selves, also promises to be aired in
lengthy debate before the committee
adjourns.

To my mind it is utterly useless to
expect any owner of Idahos cut-over

ton, to practice reforestation with all
the benefits accruing to a future gem
GRAFTON. The investment is a long one
which is in constant danger of being
wiped out by fire and the ultimate re-
suit is most uncertain. Under our
present system of taxation, whereby
timber land is assessed and pays
taxes each year on a crop which can
be harvested but once in one hun
dred and fifty years. the proposition
of reforesting is not one to attract
anyone.
THE state and federal governments |
may be able to break even on reforest- |

from taxes, but no individual in nor
thern Idaho will ever be foolish |
enough to tackle any such proposition.
What land we have that is too
steep or rocky to till will either be
seeded down to grass and grazed in
arge tracts by stock or else it will be
allowed to revert to the
county for delinquent taxes and the
legislature will probably pass laws
Whereby it can be taken over by the

Publicity is a Remedy.


Publicity is Remedy.
Publicity is justly commended as a
remedy for social and industrial dis
cases." claims Attorney Brandeis.
And publicity has already played an
important part in the struggle against
the money trust. Through the dis
closure of facts by the Pujo money
trust investigation, concerning finan-
cial concentration Attorney Brandeis
believes an important step has been
made toward ultimate attainment of
the New Freedom. Publicity attending
these disclosures, according to Bran
deis, has meant that ''the battlefield
has been surveyed and charted; the
hostile forces have been located and
ther call upon publicity for service,
pleads Brandeis
"That potent force" he says, must,
in the impending struggle, be utilized
in many ways as continuous mea-
sure" Pointing out that combination
and control of other peoples money
and business, and the wealth of the
investment banker are the main factors
in the development of the money |
trust" Brandeis declares that it has
been the great wealth of the House of
Morgan that has made possible the
powerful alliances with great financial
institutions. The main cause of such |
large fortunes, he asserts, is the huge
tolls charged by those who control the
avenues to capital and investors a
toll that is literally all that the traffic
will bear" Continuing Brandeis says:
Why Excessive Charges.
1.-THE question is asked; why have
.hese excessive charges been submitted
to? Doubtless because of bankcr-con-
.rol; exercise through interlocking d1-
rectorates, or kindred relations, and
through combinations among
bankers to suppress competition. The
INVESTORS servility is due probably to
lis ignorance of facts. Coming to the
,emedy for these evils, Brandeis says:
1.-The bankers compensation should,
If course, vary according to the FISK
lie assumes. Where there is a large
isk that the bonds or stock will not
,e promptly sold at the issue price,
he underwriting commission (that is
he insurance premium) should be cor a
large. But the banker l.

New Reapportionment Rules.

If national convention is called
