possible showing at San Francisco
If we do not come up to some other
states it will be simply because we
do not have the natural resources or

Idaho can make an exhibit that will
cause older. richer and more popu-
lous staes to feel ashamed of them
selves. 1t is simply a matter of
gathering and properly displaying
that exhibit. The hearty interest
coupled with the past experience of
the commissioners assure the state
that the exhibit will be complete and
properly handled. If it is great credit
must be accorded Messrs Reed,
Dewey and Beach. Idaho is a state
of such great resources, varied inter-
ests and diversified industries that it is
no mean undertaking to properly set
forth the resources of the state. Our
agricultural resources could easily oc-
cupy the attention of three men for a
great many months. In addition to
agriculture we have a great mining
industry; wonderful timber indus
try, a magnificent live stock indus
try; and growing and important
manufacturing industry. If any of

AN EXCELLENT COMMISSION

There are very few people in Ida
no at the present time who are :lot
thinking of attending the Panama ex-
position to be held at San Francisco
in 1915. Undoubtedly many of those
who expect to see the exposition will
be disappointed but all are inter-
ested. idaho will have a magnificent
exhibit at San Francisco. The work
of Gathering the exhibit and and at
tending it while at the fair is in the
hands of commission authorized by
the legislature and appointed by Gov
ernor Haines. In this as in nearly
all his appointments Governor
Haines exercised rare, good judy
ment. The commission consists of
Major Fred R. Reed of Wendell;
Hon. E. H. Dewey of Nampa; and
Hon. R. c. Beach of Lewiston. 1t is
doubtful three better or more
public spirited men could be found
in the state of Idaho. They are each
OF them interested in the growth and
development of Idaho. In fact Ma
jor Reed has devoted many years of
his life to promoting that growth
and development. Mr.. Dewey as a
miner, railroad man and promoter of
other industries has done much for
this immediate section of the state.
He has faithfully carried out the
work inaugurated by his illustrious
and well-beloved father. Col William
H. Dewey. Mr.. Beach occupies rel
atively the same position in the
northern part of the state. He is

THE OBSERVATORY

l recently spoke of the careless
ness of our law makers; l must "own
up" to the fact that our legislature is
no worse than some of the older
states. Here is one of the biggest
OF the far eastern states which a wear
ago enacted law so loosely put to-
gether against carrying any but the
U. S. flag in procession, that the
police in various cities had to each
interpret the law to suit circum-
stances, and that was felt to be an

TAX LEVIES SHOULD BE KEPT
DOWN

The county and municipal officer
who make the tax levies for the com
ing year should keep in mind thai
the last legislature made many i'm.
portant change in our revenue law
such changes as will justify a much
lower levy than ever before. Under
the present law property is assessed
at its full cash value for taxation pur-
poses. There is no assessing at full
value and then using 40 per cent of
that value for the purpose of taxa
ton. The FIVE hundred dollar i'm
provement exemption has been elimi-
mated. In fact there are few exemp-
tons. Even the widows exemption
of 100000 has been done away with
where her property is assessed at
$4,000 or over. These changes in
the law will vitality effect the revenue.
As there is state tax commission to
see that the assessor does assess at
the full cash value it may be assumed
that he will do so. If he does not his
assessments will be raised. There is
no escaping high valuation. A low
levy must be made or the property of
thousand will be ,confscated.
For many years the people of Ida
no have been used to low valuation
and high levy. 1t was pointed out
that this was the wrong method.
Eastern investors got a wrong i'm
preston. After investigation of tax
levies they were made to believe that
our taxes were much higher than
they really were. Governor Hawley
in his haste and thoughtlessness at
tempted to change the method with
out first procuring proper legislation. |
The Hawley fiasco is still painfully
fresh in the minds of the people. |
However, as stated, the people Of
Idaho were long accustomed to low |
valuation and high levy. 1t is hard
for them to really appreciate the
change. The average commissioner
or councilman is apt to think that if
the tax levy is reduced a third it will
be an excellent showing when as
matter of fact it should be reduced
at least two-thirds. In the past three
years the valuations have been in
creased three fold in every instance
and in many case four and. FIVE fold
The rate should be reduced in like +

One thing is certain and that
that the people must have some

GOVERNMENT BY SPIES"

is of Illinois, in a recent magazine
article state: There were ex-
isting last January under the
designation OF agents." for
ty-six thousand individuals who serve
as spies. detectives, investigators,
watchers, decoys, betrayers, silent ac-
cusers and secret slanderers, employ
ed in the government service for the
purpose of watching. spying upon, be-
traying and slandering the American
people. He might have added that
about half of them were in the west
ern states for the purpose of causing
the American homebuilders as much
annoyance as possible. Idaho has
been afflicted with these agents"
for number of years. Ever since
the Roosevelt inchot Conservation"
policy was inaugurated the state has
been infested with government
agents" 1t started through
the forestry bureau. 1t was
such bowling success that
the spy system spread from bu-
reau to bureau and from department
to department. It was developed by
President Roosevelt. By means of
the system he could harrass his enc
mics and protect his friends. He did
both in the very state of Idaho and
such is known of all people. That,
however. is small matter. As Sem
ator Lewis calss them, spies. decoys
betrayers and secret accusers," have
even devoted months of their time to
poor homesteaders trying to carve
out homes in these sagebrush deserts.

BEST KIND OF TREES
TO T PLANT on STREETS.
Japanese Poplar Seems the Best Of
Quick Growing Varieties.

The poplar family is used very ex-
tensively to make quick showing
along streets or newly laid out land
near cities. The Carolina is perhaps
the favored one. Next to this is the
Lombhrdy, and, of course. the naples
are frequently seen. The maple. says
the Agronomist. is beautiful and will
always be used in spite Of the fact that
many varieties are afflicted with blight
and bugs. and it is a very difficult
proposition to coax an individual, much
less community. to properly spray
and care for its shade trees.
The Norway maple is undoubtedly
the best of the species for our condi-
tions. OF the poplars the Carolina is
certainly not worth while. 1t has too
many troubles. The Lombardy is mere
~ weird. as we see no beauty in it. It
is the spindling straight up and down
thing that is so often seen in European
landscapes. painted or otherwise. All
we have seen in this country were
filed with dead limbs, were unsym-
metrical and scrawny looking gener-
ally.
The Japanese poplar has proved
wonder of remarkably rapid growth,
has beautiful clean bark, grows very
thick. has a beautiful foliage. is not
injured by anything. was in full leaf
this year. over two weeks before any
other tree. and its leaves remain after
most other foliage trees are stripped.
Catalpa speciosa makes quick growth
sometimes. 1t comes out very late,
has leaf like palm leaf fan and is
not pleasing in the winter.
Therefore we most heartily recon-
mend the Japanese poplar as the best
Of all quick growing trees.

a Dutch lroncIad,

It is of interest to note that. accord
ing to some authorities, the Dutch
were the first in the modern period Of
history to build an ironclad and that
during the siege Of Antwerp by the
Spaniards in 1885 the people Of that
city built an enormous fiat bottomed
vessel, armored it with heavy iron
plates and thus constructed what they
regarded as an impregna BILE battery.
This they named Finis Belli. Uhfor-
tunately the vessel got aground before
coming into action and fell into the
hands Of the enemy. It was held by
Alexander Of Parma to the. end of the
siege as curiosity. but was never en-
ployed by either side in any action.
