Valuable to Commonwealth

Valuable as education is to the indi- vidual, how much more valuable it is to the commonwealth. The state of Illinois invests $125,000 annually in investigations and experimentation in the growth of new varieties of corn and the employment Of new methods in it's cultivation. It re- ceiyes large returns on it's investment in the increased yield of the states corn crops It Is the same in other states
 where money is invested in educating
 management of their crops. This great city of Birmingham with it's teemng iron industry is but reflection of discovery in chemical laboratory and but for tho Bessemer process there would be no Bjr-
 mingham.
 Tn the early days of this nation the people followed leaders like Hamilton | and Jefferson in their day; Lincoln and Douglass in their day. There were types of great men in our states and all communities who debated great ques- tions of government and persuaded the people to put the best orator into power. While I would not take from the people one jot of their power to de- eide nor abridge in the slightest their iniative in all great questions, it is a fact that men in public life are per- suaded largely by the clamor of the | moment. It is true now and always
 will be that few men are more wise the average. I would like to see those | wise men assert themselves and lead as fast as the next wise could follow

Clarence H. Ousley and Fea. gin Address Large Audi ence at the Orpheum
 at Night
LOCAL TAXATION IS SOLUTION OF
 SCHOOL PROBLEM
Ousley Says People Must Be Persuad- ed That Education Pays and They Will Accept Local Taxation. Touches on Education for
 the Negro

With the High school orchestra render- ing beautiful selection the delegates to the Alabama Educational association be- gan arriving at the Orpheum theatre last night about 7:30 in parties of 20 or more until by s:15 the spacious theatre was well filled. By S:30 practically every seat was taken and Dr. J. H. Phillips intro- duced State Superintendent of Education William F. Feagin. ClarenoS N Ousley, editor of the Fort Worth Record was the next speaker and delivered an address along the same lines as that of MT. Fea- gin,' giving the delegates the benefit of his wide and varied experience in the matter of securing for schools more reve- nue.
 Mr ousey was introduced by Dr. Phil lips as a native of Alabama who had adopted the Lone Star state, and had made for himself there such an enviablc reputation that the Texans would fight if any mention were made of taking him away from their state. MT. Ousley's fame an educator is nationwide and he has been largely instrumental in the excellent showing Texas now makes in the literacy statistics of the United States. His speech in part follows:
 When the people of the southern states come to understand the truths you have heard tonight Creferring to MT. Feagins speech) they will not permit the present school system to remain as it is. I am not here to parade the superior educa- tional achievements of Texas, for, truth to tell, they are not equal to the average of these United States, and if they were superior l would not boast them to the discredit of Alabama, which gave me my education.

N'ELROY SPEAKS AT
CRANDYIEW MEETING

H. e. McElroy, Progressive candidate
for governor, held a successful meet
ing at Grandview, Owyhee county Sat
urday night. The meeting was very
well attended, especially considering
the extremely hot weather of that day
and considering the fact that there was
a public entertainment in progress at
the same time.
Mr. McElroy discussed the public is
sues before the people, especially the
question of taxation, explaining in full
the systematic plan adopted by the
Progressive platform convention for
solving this problem. He was literally
applauded by those who heard the adj
dress and many assurances Of support
were given him. He was also assured
that county ticket would be filed in
Owyhee county this week which would
present candidates for leading positions
upon the ticket and especially legisla-
tive candidates even if the ticket
should not be supplied with candidates
for all positions.

The New Boz.

Those who have seen the Klaw &
Erlanger play, The Billionaire." on the
legitimate stage Will appreciate more
than ever the piece done in moving pic
lures as shown at the New Boz, today
and tomorrow. This is a sensational,
farcial comedy, written and produced
for laughing purposes only. 1t is in
class by itself and goes with a snap
and bang seldom seen in plays of this
class. From the opening scene to the
last, John Doe, THE Billionaire," who
owns a controlling interest in the earth,
keeps things humming on both sides Of
the water. He is ably assisted by
some Of the best talent in motion pic
ture work. Charles Mailles appears in
the leading role as John Doe and does
himself proud all through the produc
ton. The settings are all in keeping
with the magnitude of the production,
there being number of effective
cabaret scenes as well as theater in
teriors "The Billionaire" as a fea-
ture production, stands alone and
should be seen by all.

BORAH EXPLAINS
HIS OPPOSITION
TO HARBOR BILL
idaho Senator Declares That
Graft Must Be Eliminated
From Measure Before He
Can Support It.

Senator Borah who is making a de-
termined fight against the rivers and
harbors bill OF congress, which he has
succeeded so far in holding up tries to
make his position clear in a letter writ
ten to the trade extension department
of the Portland Ad club in reply to a
telegram from that club calling his at
tention to the importance of the work
that the rivers and harbors bill pro-
vides for the mouth of the Columbia
river and to its Importance to Idaho
il connection with the Lewiston water
route. Senator Borah in his letter of
reply says:
my position in brief is that I am
greatly in favor of rivers and har-
bors bill but unalterably opposed to
pure, naked, unconscionable graft
realize the Importance of the improve
ments of which you speak and ] know
Furthermore that a portion of my own
state is greatly affected. Naturally, !
would be glad to support any measure
which would serve the interests of
Portland and your people and particu-
larly the interests of the people of my
own state l would gladly support any
rivers and harbors bill based upon
clean and defensible projects. But this
bill appropriates, in my judgment, mil
lions of dollars which will be just as
thoroughly wasted as If it were poured
into the sea and just as dishonesty ex-
pended as If coterle of senators

should reach their hands in the treas
ury and apply the result to their per-
sonal campaign expenses. The prac-
tice has grown up of putting in lot
of these shameless and indefensible
projects along with the legitimate pro-
tects and then using the good projects
to put through the bad projects The
people who are interested in the good
projects plead with their senator's for
the bill-'to let it go through this time.
And the graft grows and these indie
feasible projects are placed upon the
people in the way of taxation. Finally
the people back home step from under
the censure. the stigma rests upon our
national congress, our institutions are
assailed for corruption and graft and
the people in the long run lose conf
dence in the public service.
Cannot Give His Support.
Il cannot support the program. The
good people of this country ought not
TO ask us to support it. When an honest
effort is made to stop such unblushing
waste of public money the effort ought
to be supported by honest men. 1 have
an interest not only in Portland but in
the whole west and keen interest as
believe my services here will fairly
indicate, But do not ask me to sup
port this bill as it stands as under no
circumstances will I do so. Unless they
take the unblushing waste out of this
bill I will defeat it if it is within my
power to do so. There is no way in
Gods world to stop this waste of public
money except to stop it. The minute
you compromise or show a disposition
to tolerate such insidious forms of
corruption in one field of legislation
you simply invite corruption to enter
other fields of public service. Now in
stead of urging those who are opposing
the bill to support it why would it not
be better to urge those in charge of
the bill to eliminate the bad projects.
That is the way this bill can be put
through and the public properly served
and l believe that is the only way II
can get through, at least I hope so.
do not believe your club can know how
bad this bill is or it would not have
gone on record in its support"

OF THE
FRANCHISE OF WATER
COMPANY is REDUCED

The county commissioners, acting as
a county board of equalization have
fixed the tax value Of the franchise of
the Boise Artesian Hot & Cold Water
company at $56,S20, a reduction from
the valuation of $4,000 fixed by the
county assessor.
The valuation fixeG IS obtained by
accepting the valuation of S25 900 given
by the assessor to the franchise of tho
gas company and the same amount for
the Capital Water company, and Civ
ing to the Artesian Hot & Cold Water
company proportionate valuation
based upon the mileage of pipe and
the length of franchise. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the franchise valuation o.
the other two companies is $2S.41 per
mile for one year of their franchise
At the same valuation the 80 miles of
pipe of the Boise Artesian Hot g. Cold
Water company for the % years of its
franchise that still remains gives a
valuation of $56,S2O, which is the tax
valuation agreed upon by the commits
sioners.
