This year the owners of 5-year-old
apple trees are penalized 10 cents per
tree in addition to the assessed value
of the land upon which they grow.
Next year it will be 20 cents and the
year after it may be $50 if the bunch
of hysteric experimenters composing
the average body of Idaho law makers
find the annual appropriations not suf-
fcient to pay all of their political
debts. If it were possible to elect
a legislature composed of men of
common sense business judgment,
they would repeal at least half of the
laws now on the statute books and
the average citizen would say "well

harassed by pin headed legislation in

there is every natural element for in

THE CRADLE OF MEXICO
Queretaro, Where War May End,
Scene of Many Stirring Events.

Queretaro, capital of the state of
that name, where it is believed the
final struggle of the present revolu-
ton in Mexico will center, already
has been the scene of many important
events in Mexican history. When the
American forces took the City of
Mexico in 1847, the capital of Mexico
was removed to Queretaro by Presi-
dent Herrera.
1t was in Queretaro that Benito
Juarez, after a strenuous career as
minister of justice under President
Juan Alvarez and President Ignacio
Comonfort, during which he fought
vigorously the power of the church
and the military courts which claimed
exclusive jurisdiction in cases where
soldiers or clerics were involved, was
recognized as Constitutionalist presi-
dent January 10, 1858. The election
of Juarez was accomplished by the
Liberal party which had organized
at Queretaro under the constitution
of 1857.
A few days after the recognition
by the Liberals of Juarez as president
Felix Zuloaga was proclaimed presi-
dent by the Clerical party. In the war
between the two factions which fol-
lowed and which ended in 1861 with
the complete victory of Juarez, an
important battle was fought at Quer-
etaro.
Qeretaro played tremendous part
in the life of the il-fated Macmillan.
After Maximilian had landed with the
backing of French troops in 1864, Jua-
rez was driven to the north and es-
tablished his temporary capital in
what is now Ciudad Juarez. From
that point he conducted series of
brilliant military maneuvers, which
in 1867 had given him town after
town in the north and had made him
a startling menace to the emperor in
Mexico City. In February of that
year the French troops furnished by
Napoleon to support Macmillan were
withdrawn from Mexico. Hard pushed
by the Liberals under Juarez the i'm |
perialist generals united at Queretaro.
Macmillan was called from the City |
of Mexico February Is, as he thought,
to lead a campaign against the enemy. |
Instead he found when he arrived at
