IDAHO COUNTY PARTY
LINES SHATTERED

Imagine if you will the SEEM
ingly ridiculous spectacle of the
chairman of the democratic coun-
ty central committee deserving
the party to support the republic
an legislative ticket. Imagine
old democrats like Scales, of
Grangeville, taking the republic
an bull by the horns and riding
that animal in spite of a lifetime
record as a passenger on the
democratic ass. Imagine repub-
licans sliding down the trunk and
the tail Of the elephant that has
proved to be of the proverbial
white" variety, and you canssee
why The Mountaineer is indie
pendent in politics. This news
paper is independent for the
identical reason that everybody
else is independent when you
touch the pocketbook. We must
fight for our own interest in
spite of party creed or political
complexion, and that means town
interests, community interests.
To stand for that interest we
must advocate more economical
county government and to do this
many republicans are supporting
Parker and York and Adair.
On the other hand, because
they live in Grangeville and for
years have been waxing fat on
money spent by we suckers who
are compelled to bring it to them
on silver platters because we are
compelled to 60 to the county
seat, many democrats'are desert
ing the party ticket to go in de-
fence of-not economy for the
whole county-but fat fees, big
mileage ILLS, board bills, feed
bills, money spent by people who
make it market day when bust
ness makes it necessary for them
to go to the comfy seat.
There you are. Don't you see
it? These GrangeviIle people are
defending THEIR PRIVATE
POCKETBOOKS at the cost of
the county at large. What they
pay out in taxes the same as you
they double in private enterprises
at your expense.
Now, then, do you want to
continue in the sucker class?
If you do, keep right on tote
ing your money into Grangeville.
IF YOU DON'T
Then get busy with your pencil
and your friends on election day
and move the county seat to
Sites, or Kamiah, or Kooskia so
that you can go and come in a
day. So that you won't have to
pay the expense of a murder trial
so far away that when you read
of it you confuse it with the bat
tie OF Bull Run. -Kooskia Mount
aineer.

Paying the Income Tax
BY WILLIS j. ABBOT.

n S to this income tax, I'm for
~ it. In my day I've made
scores of speeches, written
acres of articles in its favor, and
1 exulted when it was made law.
/ always expected to pay it my
self-I wasn't one of these people
so generally sneered at who were
for the tax because they didn't
have the income. 1 only wish I
had to pay bigger tax, If the
bigger income accompanied it.
But the gentlemen who formu-
lated this tax law seemed to go
out of their way to make paying
hard, for even willing payers. I
received my blanks the other day
and sat down to fill them out. The
jolts began.
BY way of earning a living I
write books, magazine and news
paper articles. MY only stock in
trade, like that of any lawyer,
doctor or other professional man,
is my life, health and brain. Two
of these fortunately being in
surable commodities I protect by
life, accident and disability insur-
ance. The annual premiums
amount to about $1,000 a year,
a steady charge on my income.
Insurance of this sort wasn't Spe-
officially mentioned in the blank,
But talking with a friend who
draws his income from a sawmill
l learned that his premiums for
fire insurance were deducted from
his net taxable income; why not
then mine on the mental machin-
cry which runs my shop?
But the man behind the coun-
ter at the collectors office was
cold. Life insurance premiums
don't go!" said he laconically.
Thus the Government encour-
ages sawmills and other mills
including the gin variety-by ex-
empting from taxation the in
come expended in insuring them.
But the income a man disburses
in insuring his life. or his physi-
cal capacity to do his work. is
taxed. On my 81, 500 paid out for
insurance / pay the Government
an additional SIS tax; on the
$4,000. or more, in premiums my
friend pays to protect his machin-
cry he pays no tax at all-and
moreover passes that charge on
in the price of his goods to the
purchaser. I think I see an edi-
tor standing for an extra charge
of half a cent a word because I
have to carry more insurance this
year!
Having filled out my blank I
take it to the collectors office
a long, time consuming journey,
and even my time is worth some
thing,
Here. you" says the youth at
the window In the courteous for

The Mystery of Flying Suns
By EDGAR LUCIEN LARKIN.

more waves enter the eye than
if the body is going away on a
straight line.
Now the exceedingly refined
measuring instrument, the spec
troscope, when attached to a
huge telescope, is able to meas
ure this excess and dimnution of
waves of light. The good folks
in Arabian times never imagined
any fantastic thing comparable
with this scientific reality. For
waves measured range from
lengths in between $4,000 to 63,-
600 to the inch that are visible;
while the to-telecamera, in con-
junction with the spectroscUpe,
deals with waves still shorter so
short that no eye can see them,
but still visible to molecules of
chemicals on very sensitive and
rapid films and plates.
The degree of accuracy is far
greater than that of a carpenter
measuring the length of board.
And these suns are all in motion
ordinarily in between limits of 4
to so miles per second. But few
suns, in a select class all by
themselves, move from 125 to 200
miles during each second Of time
The paths of suns when flying
singly and alone in interminable
space are not called orbits, for
the paths of bees in swarm
would not be called orbits. But
where binaries and ternaries are
In revolution around their COM
mon gravitation center. by twos
and threes, then the paths are
regular comic sections and are
expressed by the word orbits.

The Trial of Warren Hastings
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY

was triumphantly acquitted of the
thigh crimes and misdemeanors"
of which, seven years before,
Burke had, in such dramatic
fashion, accused him in the au-
gust name of the Commons of
England.
Long ago as all this was, its
moral is still fresh and pertinent.
Warren Hastings was the very
accomplished and most capable
tool of a system of exploitation
that is still by no means extinct
among men. Hastings was at one
and the same time innocent and
guilty. He was, in a word, Just
as innocent and just as guilty as
the Government that put him on
trial.
If that Government had the
moral right to be in India, then
Hastings was entitled to claim
that he was innocent of any
charge of crime, since he was
simply the Governments agent in
carrying out it's Indian program.
The worst that can be said of
Hastings is that in a most mas
terly way he played the great
game according to the rules of the
6ay-and it would have been
piece Of rank injustice to have
punished him for doing the very
things he was ordered and ex-
pectcd to do.

Appetite speeds of suns in
space, flying in every possible di-
rection, are found by means of
telescope observation and meas
urement of their proper motions.
First, find their distances from
the earth, and then, with preci-
sion, measure how many seconds
of arc they move per year. Then
their velocity can be computed
in miles.
But suppose that a flying sun
is coming on an exact line to-
ward the earth or receding on
true straight line. Then the tele-
scope alone can not see any mo-
ton at all. But one of the chief
discoveries of all ages is the tele-
spectroscope. To even think of
the power of this delicate instru-
ment makes one wish to write the
oft-repeated words: The powers
now so nearly latent in the phase
of Mind called human are illimit-
able.
The telespectroscope actually
measures the velocity of approach

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


Al meeting Of the Commission
Government Committee Tuesday
night, Chairman Geo. E. Gary was
auQ nbrized to appoint a campaign
committee from all parties to make
a whirlwind campaign next week to
stir the people up on the question.
A majority of the $3.50 registered
voters in the city signed the petition
asking the election, the most promi-
nent leaders of all parties having
endorsed the movement. The COL
ored people also favor the plan,
about 400 of them having signed the
petition. The only opposition threat
ened is from machine politicians
representing minority factions of
both parties. 1t is not believed that
these interested parties can muster
formidable followinging. view of
the almost unanimous sentiment for
a better municipal government. The
Kentuckian today presents the full
text of the new law to be voted up
on. The present city officers would
be allowed to serve out their terms,
as the commission would not take
charge until December 1915.

DESPERATE FIGHTING ON
Both Sides Agree That Situa-
ton Has Not Changed
In The East.

Paris, Oct. 2l.-The Germans at.
tackled vigorously yesterday at sew
eral points on the line and were ev-
erywhere repulsed.
French marines under cover of
fog crept up to the German trenches
and made bayonet charge. killing
many in the trenches and taxing 400
prisoners.
At one place the French drove
back the Germans and held the adj
vanced line long enough to mine the
position. They then fell back before
the German attack and blew up the
mines, anihilating three battalions
The French artillerymen are care
full in getting ranges and waste few
shells, In an artillery duel near
Armentieres the Germans fired for
half a day into thicSets that had been
abandoned some time before. The
French three-inch guns finally got
the range and twelve shells silenced
the German battery.
German and Russian reports agree
that the situation in the east has not
cha ged, although the armies are in
close touch along the Prussian from
tier and across Poland and Galicia.
In Galicia, however, the Austrians
claimed to have repulsed Russian
attacks and to be making progress
in their campaign to drive out the
invaders.
The Russians, on the other hand,
say they are ma,ing large numbers
Of prisoners. Heavy fighting is go
ing on around Przemysl.
