FARMERS LARGELY TO BLAME.

mat farmers are the victims OF high and often unjust
taxes is generally conceded. They are taxed upon a valu-
alton upon which their farms will not pay wages and div
idends. All other classes of business pay wages in addi-
ton to profits. Wages are not figured for the farmer
however, but his valuation for taxation does not take this
into account. The merchant, if at all prosperous, turns
his stock two or three times a year. The farmer turns his
but once. While this is not equitable, the farmers are
largely to blame. They are too busy or too Indifferent
when the time comes to nominate men who make laws for
them, levy and disburse their money, to exercise their cit
izenship by taking a few hours off to vote.
Laws are made when the members of the legislature are
nominated. The kind and character of the men so chosen,
their fairness and intelligence, indicate to a certainty
what kind of laws will be enacted by them. In like man.
nr the amount of taxes to be levied may be foreshadow-
ed by the ability of men chosen for the places on the tax
levying boards. The farmer therefore, should be vital
~ interested in the primaries. If satisfactory men are not
named for the various offices il is largely the farmers
fault, because so few of them vote at the primary election
An election more important than the general election.
A t the general election a choice has often to be made be-
tween unsatisfactory candidates. At the primaries a
much wider range of choice is possible.
The primary election will be held on the first day of
September, and farmers who are alive to their interests
will take an active part in them. Members of Congress,
State and judicial offices, Legislative and county officials
will be named at the election. If the farmers want to
turn over to the people who live in towns and villages the
machinery of government, all they have to do is to re-
frain from voting at the primaries. In that case, they have
little grounds for complaint if things do not go right. 1t
is a duty and a basis for securing equal rights and equal
justice for all. Do not neglect your rights simply because
the primaries come at a busy time. Instead of coming to
town on Saturday to do your trading, put it off until
Tuesday, September !, and vote before returning home
and in the meantime carefully inquire into the character
and fitness of the members of your party who are asking
for your votes.

DEPLORABLE WAR IN PROGRESS.

The greatest, and therefore the most deplorable. war in
all history is now in progress, embracing nearly all the
principal powers. England, France, Russia and Servia
are opposing Germany and Austria on the field of battle,
and Japan threatens to join to expel Germany from her
Chinese possessions. So closely are reports censored. and
so little is heard from German and Austrian sources. that
an estimate of actual conditions is impossible. Reports.
all from hostile sources, indicate that both German and
Austrian armies have met with severe reverses. Inasmucb
as these armies are invading the lands of their adversar-
les, meeting entrenched and fort-protected foes. it is not
unlikely that their losses have been comparatively heavy
However, should the invaders be driven back upon their
own soil, they will have the advantage of picked positions
and en~trenchments that now belong to the allied forces.

Idaho will ultimately have to come to
the idea of limiting its taxes to what
the soil a afford to pay. l have al
ways been a large taxpayer and am in
earnest about the reduction of taxes.
I will use the veto power, if elected,
to keep the taxes for state purposes
down as low as possible. l will also
ask the Legislature to limit the power
Of our taxing boards, county, school
and municipal, to such extent as to
prohibit the imposition of burdensome
taxes upon the people.
One of the bad conditions in con-
nection with the tax levying is the ov-
erlapping of municipalities in the
same tax area. For instance, in u
towns and cities, the city council lev
les taxes within the corporate limits.
the public school taxes are levied ON
practically the same property. This
property bears the additional burden
OF the county taxes. On top of all this
the state bears its share Of taxation.
so the property bears a q~uadruple
burden of taxation. In limiting the
taxing powers of these several boards
1t must be done with a view to the
property owners ability to pay the en-
tire bill without being overburdened.

GETTING AFTER THE RASCALS.

Federal grand juries are Investigating the recent raise
in the price of foodstuffs. Notwithstanding that exports
have suddenly ceased, prices have been greatly advanced
in Eastern cities. With all our products reserved for our
own people it would seem that if the law of supply and de-
mand has anything at all to do with prices that they
should be lower. Undoubtedly the advanced prices are
arbitrary and unjust and those responsible should meet
with severe punishment.

and the percentage of losses will likely become reversed.
The carnage, with modern instruments of destruction en-
ployed, would be terrible, and it is to be hoped for every
reason, the war will be of short duration.

HAVE NEW WEEvIL REPElLER
Farmers In Plnola Section Use a
Compound That Drives Pests
Away.

Pinola, Miss. June 18.-Some Of
the leading farmers Of this section
are preparing to fight the boil weevil
in a new way by using a mixture Of
kerosene oil, lubricating oil; pine tar
and moth balls. A gunny sack folded
four times is tackled to an attach.
ment which is fastened to an attach
ment which is fastened to the plow
beam. The sack is cut in strips after
being tackled on. The sack is dipped
in the mixture and wrung out to pre-
vent dripping. The strips Of the
sack hang over the cotton, touching
the stalks, leaving some of the MKT
ure on the leaves Of the cotton. II is
said the odor VIII drive the weevils
off. The following is the formula
for this mixture: Five gallons Of
kerosene, one gallon lubricating oil,
one pound Of moth balls, one pint Of
tar. The moth balls are crushed and
dissolved in the kerosene and the
other ingredients successfully mixed
in by stirring.
