A Large Shipment
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

The inhuman practice Of tying horse
to fences and telephone poles for
days and often nights without either
blanket, food or drink is becoming
too frequent and should be abated.
Ono day last week some one tied
their horse to the telephone pole op.
posite the Central school and there
it stood all day in the cold rain
without any care or covering, with
its head drawn down in the mud
Last Sunday grey horse was al
lowed to stand tied to the railroad
fence all day in the cold rain with
out any care whatever. Tho pitibls
plight Of the poor animal was no
ticed by number Of people, some Of
whom complained to Chief of Police
Simmons who took it up and had II
cared for.

WHY IMPOSE A WAR TAX?

The plan Of the Administration to
offset it's failure to keep up the ex-
pense OF running the government by
imposinga burdensome war tax on the
people, especially when the country is
at peace with all the world has reused
widespread opposition.
''In the first place, there is no need
for additional taxation" said Minority
Leader Mann, on the floor Of the
House of Representatives. If the
party in power would exercise econ.
omy in neutrality-suspicious. and
natural economy such as an ordinary
business man would enforce in his
own affairs or a judicious housekcep.
er would apply, no citizen need be
taxed another dollar.
But even with the reckless expend.
iture of public money by tho present
Congress, there is better way to
meet the deficit than by leyying di
rect taxes. OF course, no one ex
poets the administration to adopt the
republican course Of seeking revenue
from such imports az will come in
notwithstanding the war restrictions
and therefore 1t is useless for a re
publican to offer advice"

At GENERAL ELECTION THREE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS WILL BE SUBMITTED

Secretary of State w. L. Clifford has
certified to the auditors of each cOun-
ty in the state, the three constitu-
tional amendments that are to be
voted upon at the next general cleo
ton, all of which are important, and
two of which at least, it is claimed
will receive serious opposition.
The questions to be submitted to
the electors are:
"Shall section Z, article 9, of the
constitution Of the state of Idaho, be
so amended as to remove the super
intendent of public instruction from
membership on the state board Of
land commissioners"
SeIf-Executin9 Amendment

ton of the result of the election up.
on this amendment the governor is
empowered to appoint two justices Of
the supreme court to hold office until
the general election of 1916 and un.
til their successors are elected and
qualified. The question to be sub
mitted to the voters for this proposed
amendment is:
Shall section 6, OF article 5, Of
the constitution of Idaho, be amend
ed SO as to increase the supreme
court to five justices in place Of
three?"
That there will be considerable CD
position to the amendment to increas sc
the term of elective officers from
two to four years and the member
ship of the supreme court from three
to five, is generally conceded.
Briefly stated these three amend
ments provide for the extending O
the terms of elective state officials
from two to four years, to increase
the supreme court membership from
three to five members and to remove
the state superintendent # publ,
instruction as member of the state

GERMANY BLAMED FOR WAR

London-The Times publishes Sun
day extended extracts from the Rus
sian official Orange book, upon the
diplomatic antecedent Of the war
which, according to the Times, takes
in conjunction with the official
papers issued by the British foreign
office completes the chain of evidence
fixing irrevocably upon Germany and
Austria the responsibility for the out
break of the war.
The dispatches given prove, says
the paper, that Russia made efforts
to avert the conflict by finding a
formula satisfactory to Austria AMI
acceptable to Servia. On July Is, it
is said, Sergius Sazonoff, Russian
minister of foreign affairs, instructed
the Russian ambassador at Rome to
urge Italy to use her influence with
Austria in favor of peace. On July
II, M. Sazonoff expressed his readi-
ness to accept the proposal of Sir
Edward Grey, British minister of for
eign affairs, for conference; But on
that same date Germany insisted up
on the impossibility of holding any
conference of mediation and sought
to persuade France to associate her.
self with Germany in putting pressure
upon Russia.
The Times says that the real sit
uation first is indicated in telegram
to Petrograd from the Russian am.
bassador to Austria, pointing out
that Austria, Influenced by the as
surances of the German ambassador
at Vienna, who has played the part
of an instigator during the whole
crisis, counted on the probability Of
the localization of hep conflict with
Servia and on the possibility OF
striking a severe blow with impun.

OWENS EXPLAINS TAX LAW

County Attorney Owens, in deter
mining that Stephen Inglis had a
right to tax deed on property for
merly owned by L. w. Folsom and
sold for delinquent taxes, has settled
a point of law of interest to these
who have real estate transactions.
In short, the law relative to tax
sales has been amended three times.
First it read that If three years elapse
the former owner can not redeem
the same. Then it was changed in
1911 SO that the former owner could
redeem any time before a tax deed
was demanded In 1912 the lesisla-
ture added an amendment providing
a notice should be given the former
owner before a tax deed could be
secured.
Mr.. Folsom's property became the
county's property in 1908, end the
tax sale certificate was bought three
years afterward by Mr. Inglis. The
county acquired no title, and Inglis
in 1914, three years after his pur-
chase, and six years after the sale to
the county, demanded title The
county attorney held that he should
be granted title owing to the fact
that the three years had elapsed b.
fore the 1912 law went into effect
and that Mr. Inglis had made his
demand for title before Mr.. Folsom
offered to redeem the same.
