How News Leaked.
In transmitting by mail the news
of the sinking of the Audacious. the
manager of the Boston bureau of the
International News Service said:
For almost a week the fleet has
known that H. NJ. S. Audacious had
been in collision with a mine off the
north coast of Ireland. Later the
news was spread about that the sur
vivors from the dreadnought had been
picked up by the White Star liner
Olmpic. The olympic meantime was
reported to have put in at Loughs
willy on the northeast coast of Ire
land.
although application was repeat
edly made to the censor for confirma
tion or denial of these reports none
was forthcoming
Censor Active.
"On the contrary the censor prohib.
tied any mention being made of the
disaster. The first of the Olympic S
passengers arrived in London at
o'clock this morning (Nov. 4. An
nouncement had been made yesterday
that the passengers would arrive at
Eustin station on a special train at
12:40 today. There is no such train
regularly and when the newspaper
men went to Eustin at the appointed
hour they learned that the Olympic s
passengers arrived over various roads
at various stations in the early hours
of this morning.
1.-TWO of the Olympic's passengers
were located by the International
News Service at the Savoy hotel this
afternoon. One of them denied that
he had been on the Olympic and the
other refused to talk. 1t is evident
that the British government issued
instructions before the passengers
were allowed to leave the Olympic at
Belfast to keep secret what they may
know of the disaster.

The above resolution was adopted
by the executive committee of the
Progressive county central committee
yesterday. 1t was rude jolt to local
Republicans who had been predicting
that the defeat of the Progressive
party in Indiana at the elections this
month had broken it's backbone and
that Wayne county Progressives who
had formerly been affiliated with the
G. o. P. would now return to the Re-
publican party like rats crawling out
of a sinking ship. So confident were
they that the Progressive party In
Wayne county had disintegrated that
they had even made preliminary plans
for a home coming" at which for
mer Republicans would be welcomed
back into the fold of that party.
Hold Firm Faith.
The fact that Progressive defeats
were registered all over the United
States, with the exception of Califor-
mia, on Nov. 3, has not caused Wayne
county Progressives to waiver in their
allegiance to the principles they have
so successfully stood for, and they
point to the pluralities returned for

This nation owes no higher obiiga-

who consecrated their lives that this

repay the debt we owe our country's
heroes, neither to the living nor to
the dead; we can only express our
appreciation OF their sacrifices by
tender manifestations of love ana re-

BAR CALIFORNIA POTATOES
Idaho Inspector Is Warning Grocers
Of Quarantine.

G. X. Macey of Boise. state horti-
cultural Inspector, is making an
inspection trip through the northern
part Of the state and visiting the
merchants. He states that sever Il
OF the stores are selling California a
potatoes In violation OF the quaran
tine against them, the potatoes being
shipped 10 through Spokane.
II would like to call the attention
of grocers to the quarantine ordsr-
against California potatoes which was
established by Gov. Haines last
February In order to prevent the
introduction OF the pototo tuber
moth into the state." be said.
"Tbe penalty for violating this
quarantine order Is 6ne OF thr G
hundred dollars and 1 have Instructed
all my deputies TO see that the order
is enforced and prosecute any dealer
who, knowingly, sells California
potatoes. The loss to the potato
growers of California is running ints
millions Of dollars and we are making
an effort to save the Idaho farmers
from a similar loss."
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1914-05-29

amounts TO anything. In the
above instance if Governor Haines
could reduce the state tax by half
it would amount to only $I.22 on
a $1,000 valuation and still leave
the bill Sag. 70, or if a man had
$4,000 valuation the reduction
would be only $6.Io and the
balance of his tax bill would be
S148.oo. The state must practice
economy of course, but it must be
evident to anyone that it is in the
larger items that the cut must
come If relief of any consequence
is to be felt.
"Take your tax receipts with
you to the polls," has been the
slogan of Governor Haines. That
the voters have been studying
their tax receipts and the report of
the governors tax commission, is
evident from the remarks Of Presi-
dent Brannon and from the returns
of many bond elections. The
governors advice to study your
tax receipts brings the taxpayer to
a true contemplation Of the source
of high taxes. He has, in con-
junction with the commission, for
the first time in the history Of the
state, shown "where the money
goes" and having shown where il
goes anyone can see where the
reductions must be made if reliel
is to be obtained aud felt.

MORE LIGHT ON TAXATION
U. of I. President Makes Popular
Statement.-Some Figures.

v. OF !. PreSlQent MAKES popular
Statement.-Some Figures.
Boise.-That an ordinary remark
in ordinary times may produce
sensation in extraordinary times
was we'll illustrated in statement
made recently by President Bran
non, the new head of the State
University. The presidents re-
mark was that the university
authorities would not 60 before
the next legislature asking for an
increase of appropriations to
defray the expense of running that
institution. This declaration does
credit to the astuteness Of the new
president. 1t brought him into
immediate favor with the general
public, where the avariciousness Of
the university authorities for
devouring funds is well known.
But there is another phase of the
matter that has attracted more
attention than the direct applica-
ton of the remark. 1t is taken in
! political circles to mean that
Governor Haines' exposition of
the tax situation is bearing fruit.
The decision of the university
authorities, of their own volition,
to call halt on the ever-increas
ing demands for more funds for
the institution is without doubt in
response to public sentiment and
that public sentiment is to a large
extent the outgrowth of Governor
Haines' showing, through the
report of his state tax commission.
"Where the money goes"
Closely related to this decision
on the part of the university
authorities, is the action of the
taxpayers in more than twenty-five
towns and districts Of this state in
voting down proposed bond issues
ranging from SIo, 900 to SIoo. 900,
thus declining to shoulder upor
themselves increased tax burdens
