no longer the dumping ground for
goods that cannot be sold elsewhere
and the people of this fair state should
feel Sratified that they can reason
ably feel assured of getting the article
they pay for and that they are not
short-weighted.
Our expenditure of $21 1883 would
at first thought, represent the cost to
the people OF the operation of this de-
partment, but we have turned into the
state treasury the sum of $9,S97 0,
which leaves the actual cost of opera
ton but 81 ,S2673. This is practically
paid back to the people in one item

now practically unknown in Idaho.
With butter at 40 cents per pound, and
each pound one ounce short, as was
the practice in former years, this
amount would be made up in less than
six months.-Capital News.

separated from the general property
of the state, and each related class is
taxed at rate which differs from the
general property tax rate.
Legislation with respect to the es-
tates of nonresident decedents is also
noteworthy. BY reason of the lack of
uniformity of state laws, such es-
tates are sometimes subject to taxa
ton three, and even four times. Mas
saehusetts, however, has recognized
the principle of taxing such property
but once, namely by taxing the real
estate only. Personally is not taxed,
since such property usually passes in
accordance with the law of the juris-
diction where the decedent is domi-
ciled. New York, in addition to taxing
real estate, taxes chattels located in
New York and Wisconsin has passed
inheritance tax legislation looking to-
ward a complete physical-situs basis
for taxation. Capital News.

PICTURE DANCING LESSONS
VIII Be Seen ut the Isis Monday and
Tuesday.

And now we are to learn dancing by
motion pictures A three-reel feature
that gives a series of comprehensive
dancing lessons has just been produce
ed by Kalem and will be shown at the
Isis theatre on Monday and Tuesday
These lessons, called the Motion Pic
ture Dancing Lessons" are given by
New York's most famous dancers, Mr.
Wallace McCutcheon and Miss Joan
Sawyer. This couple was the sensa-
ton of the New York Theatre Roof
Garden last summer, and at the pres
ent time are instructors to the men,
bers of the famous 400"
The dances taught are the Tango,
Turkey Trot and the Hesitation Waltz
AS shown in the Motion Picture
Dancing Lessons" these dances are
marvels of beauty and grace. Each is
shown step by step, and should aid
any person who sees the pictures to
become an accomplished dancer.
The Tango, Turkey Trot and Hesita-
ton Waltz are first shown, as danced
by the patrons of one of New York's
most famous cabarets Later, Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon and Miss Sawyer take the
floor and show their method. The
scene shifts to Mr.. McCutcheon's stu
dio, where he is seen teaching several
pupils the dances named To better
illustrate the steps, the pictures, at in
tervals, show just the lower limbs. 1t
is a. most unusual feature and we'll

ence and advanced knowledge along
this line to give instructive lectures at
different times; to maintain a bureau
and keep in touch at all times with the
different buyers and sellers of the diff
ferent classes of cattle, this informa-
ton being gratis to it's members.
On the 21st day of February, (Satur-
day. there will be meeting in Filler,
Idaho, where constitution and by
laws will be formally passed upon and
adopted, and all members coming in at
that time will be numbered among the
charter members.
The temporary organization COM
posed the following officers: A. A.
Davis, chairman; E. O. Walter, secre-
tary, and w. A. Grieve, treasurer.
1t is indeed very essential that every
rancher who is interested in the dairy
business in any manner be present,
whether he lives in Bull, Twin Falls,
Kimberly, Wendell, Jerome, Gooding,
Filler, or elsewhere in Southern Idaho,
as this meeting will be an important
one, and there will be some very in
teresting talks. Let us get together
and make this association second to
none in existence, which will be in
keeping with the spirit of the country
we represent.
For any further information letter
to Geo. F. Allen, corresponding secre-
tary, will bring prompt reply

wholesome regard for the law and a
spirit of competition among the mer-
chants and others that his place must
be in just little better condition
than his neighbor's.
This spirit of cooperation practi-
cally places this department in the
line of educators, as our merchants,
manufacturers and the public gener-
ally write us for advice whenever they
are in doubt as to the proper course
to pursue, and freely submit samples
of suspected goods for analyses, to
determine their quality, and very will
ingly comply with the decisions made
as result of such cooperation.
From comparative viewpoint we
have done nearly twice the amount of
work done heretofore, and at much
less cost
In addition to our regular work we
have rendered much assistance to the
state humane society in the enforce
ment of its most excellent laws, many
complaints being referred to us for
investigation, which this society could
not investigate, due to lack of funds
for expenses incident to such work
This service is rendered in connection
with our regular state work, and no
expense is attached to it.

ment of women has also received the

FOR GOVERNMENT PROJECT
Petition Asks Government to Take
Over Land South of Murtaugh.

J. w. Martin, one of the prominent
farmers of the Murtaugh neighbour
hood was in the city Wednesday get
ting petitions prepared asking that the
United States government take over
the dry land south of Miner to Rock
Creek, the bulk being directly south of
the town of Murtaugh There is about
$4,000 acres of land in this body and
it is the wish of the petitioners that
this land be taken over and added to
the Minidoka South Side Pumping
unit and have the government place
water on the same. The petitions when
ready will be sent to Senator William
e. Borah, with the request that he
present them to the secretary of the
interior. 1t is the hope of those who
have charge of the work to get the
government to take over this dry land
and put water on it by extending the
Minidoka pumping system, thereby
adding a great amount of farming land
to Twin Falls county. The petitions
can be found by all who are interested
at Zuck & Hays office at Kimberly,
Hall Brothers store in Murtaugh, and
at the home of j. w. Martin, two and
one-half miles south of Murtaugh

LEGISLATION ON TAXATION
Final Report Is Presented to President
Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Tax legisla-
ton throughout the United States dur
ing 1912 is reviewed in a final report
on taxation of corporations presented
to President Wilson today by Commits
sioner Davies of the bureau of corpor-
ations. One of the striking features of
legislation reviewed is New York's Sc
cured debts law of 1911 The Wiscon-
sin income tax law of 1911 is consider
ed the most important tax legislation
in the eastern central and western
central states.
other noteworthy features are the
decided trend toward greater centrali-
cation of the administration of tax
laws and the classification of property
for taxation purposes, says the re-
port. Wisconsin is leading exam
pie of the one and Rhode Island Of the
other. Wisconsin, by its income tax
law centralized it's administration of
assessments and successfully reached
intangible property without employing
the classification method Rhode ISL

CATTLE BREEDERS ORGANIZE
Filler Takes the Initiative i'm Forming a
HOlstein Breeders Association.

In keeping with the fast develop
ment of our tracts as an ideal section
for the dairying business, the Filler
ranchers and those interested in
better class of cattle for Southern Ida
no, have made the initiative move by
organizing an association which will
be known as THE Southern Idaho Hol-
stein-Friesian Breeders Association"
1t will be the untiring effort and
aim of the association to interest the
people in the breeding up of a better
class of CATTLE to try to cooperate in
getting the very best sires that are OBJ
tainable; to gather library and other
information that will aid each member
to get a better and broader idea of
what constitutes the best families of
COWS, and keep in close touch with the
late records of the different families
1T would be an expensive matter for
each man to get this information for
his individual self, but in this manner
all may be benefited at very nominal
cost to each.
The association would have it known
that it does not limit it's membership
to the breeders of Holsteins alone but
invites the cooperation of the breed
ers of any kind or type of cattle, so
that they may all work for one COM
mon end, namely, better conditions for
the dairyman and stock raiser.
The field is intended to extend all over
Southern Idaho and it is the object of
the association to get men of promin-

BY comparison this shows a decided

In addition to the regular inspection
work performed we have done much
in an educational way by issuing bull
letins and conducting personal CORES
pondence with merchants, manufac-
turers and individuals We also pre-
pared an extensive exhibit for the state
fair at Boise. showing in detail the
purpose of the department and the
effect of our work for clean pure
products and better sanitary condi-
lions. This exhibit proved to be very
interesting to the public, and we were
persuaded to show the same exhibit at
Caldwell during the Canyon county
fair. Since that time we have had nu-
merous requests from all parts of the
state to take our exhibit to county
fairs and public gatherings, and as a
result of this interest shown by the
people in our work we are spending
considerable time and money in pre-
pairing a permanent, exhibit that can
be taken into different parts of the
state for the benefit of the public.
This exhibit is now located in one of
the rooms of our office and is open to
the general public. One day in each
week has been set aside for classes
from the public schools, and on sever
al occasions lectures have been given
to the pupils in explanation of our
work done. ! consider this addition
to our work of inestimable value.
In comparin~ the receinte of the de-
partment for this year with those of
1912, / would call your attention to
the fact that the license fees have
been materially increased which is,
no doubt, due to more systematic and
closer inspection work, as our expert
ence shows that many establishments
fail to send in their license money,
perferring to wait until the inspector
calls for it.
The reduction in the amount Of
fines collected is due to the improved
conditions end stricter observance of
the law Where we met defiance and
before, we now have bear
ty co-operation. The business inter
ests and the people generally have be-
come more familiar with the law gov
erning their respective places of busi-
ness, and have learned that these laws
are going to be enforced. The result
is we have better conditions. more

JARB|DGt WILL SHIP ORE
Blnster Getting Ready to Ship Several
Cars of High Grade Ore.

Howard L. Rummel, secretary and
treasurer of the Buster Mining COM
pany, arrived here from the Jarbidge
camp Saturday. He purchased num-
her of sacks and lot of supplies for
the mine and has departed for ElkO,
New. He will go in from the railroad
station at Elko, and Immediately upon
his arrival the sacking of high grade
ore will commence He says that they
Intend to load about two cars of this
gold product and ship it to the local
market as quickly as possible.
This ore is coming from the lowest
workings in the mine, on what is
known as the 300-foot level 1t is
found in streak which the run of
the mine of from 500 to $3.50 per ton.
This shoot has been followed for a dis
lance of 225 feet on this level and is
A feet in width. The average grade of
mill product in this shoot is given at
$19 ton and the showing is so good
that this company is making an effort
to install a mill plant early this
spring, Eight men are now employed
at the property, and Rummel says the
physical condition of the property was
ifever better.
Despite the fact that Jarbidge has
not been in the limelight for about two
years, Rummel, who is the recorder of
the district, says there is considerable
activity in a mining way. At the Al
tpha mine, which is being operated by
Ithe Potter Palmer interests of Chicago,
"a ten-stamp mill is in operation. This
plant is treating from thirty to forty
tons of ore daily of an average value
of 500 TO the ton A good saving of
the gold is being made and the opera
tons during the winter promise to be
fairly profitable.
The Flaxis company has developed
a considerable amount of milling ore
and is blocking it out with the inten
tion of putting in a mill this spring.
Recently a shipment of 1860 pounds or
ore was made from this property. for
which a check Vas received for S1096.

for the last three months, but also for

statement of receipts and expenditures
the report says:
The last legislature greatly in
creased the duties of the department
by imposing on us the enforcement of
the new weights and measures law,
the barber shop inspection law, the
Babcock test law and the pure ice and
water law. All this has added greatly
to our work, yet it has been accom-
plished with but little added cost to
the state. However, this increased
work should be given a relative value
in the reducing of the cost of opera
ton, which in figures would show \
decided reduction when compared with
the work of former years. The weights

quite an expense if standing alone, the
report of which is as follows:
