TYNDALL ARRESTED

= SALEM, Oregon, Feb. 1S..-Asa Tyn-
dali, aged %, was arrested this after
noon on a charge of burglary in Mos
cow, Idaho. He waived extraditiOn pa
pers.
Sheriff Jap Campbell left on the
three O'clock train this afternoon for
Salem to get young Tyndall and bring
him to Moscow. Some ten days ago
the sheriff's office here notified the
Salem Office that Tyndall was wanted
here in connection with some alleged
thefts of grain and sales Of stolen
grain.
1t has taken the Oregon officials
until now to locate the young man,
who was not in Salem at the time the
Information was wired there. Tyndall
was arrested by Sheriff William Esch.
Two other Moscow lads, implicated
with Tyndall In the alleged burglary,
were arrested here and were later re-
leased on 500 cash bonds put up by
their fathers.

CLAIM SCHOOL
TAXES TOO HIGH
RAILWAY COMPANY ASKS FOR
REFUND OF TAXES PAID ON
LEVIES OVER FIVE MILLS
Fifteen-Mill Levy in kendrick and
Seven-Mill In Troy Barely
Sufficient

! Alleging that in 1914 it's property
common school purposes in Districts
"a and 81 in Latah county, the Nor
thern Pacific Railway company has
filed with the clerk of the district
court a complaint naming the county
commissioners and treasurer as de-
PENDANTS, and asking that part of the
taxes paid under protest be refunded
and that an injunction be granted to
restrain the treasurer from appor-
tioning the money to Districts "a and
81
In District "a, which includes Ken
drick, the levy last year was Is mills,
and that in District 81, which includes
Troy, was mills. Contending that
5 mills is the legal limit of the levy
for common school purposes, the Nor
thern Pacific seeks to recover all paid
in excess of the amount due at that
rate, total of 720-$1400 from
Kendrick and $327.2O from Troy.
At the last session of the legislature
two laws fixing the maximum limit for
the levy for common school purposes
were passed, and there is widespread
,ppinion among attorneys that the
5-mill rate will be recognized by the
courts. Like cases have appeared in
the courts of other northern counties.
but as yet the supreme court has not
passed on the matter.
If all taxpayers in the Kendrick dis
trict should follow the example of the
railway company, and the controversy
should be decided in their favor a great
hardship would be worked upon the
Kendrick schools. 1t has required the
most careful and economical manage
ment of the schools to be able to meet
the statute requirements lthat nine
work must be done each year
to receive aid from the state funds.
1t is not likely that local taxpayers
will ask for refunds, even if the rail-
way company is successful in this
case.

According to word received in Mos

ernor w. J. Mcconnell, who for the

this territory, will by this order be
relieved from duty. The governors
duties under section "a of the immigra-
tion act were to discover and prevent
district which included Montana, Ore
gon, Idaho land Washington.
The reason for closing the local Of
flee is the present demoraliZed condi-
tion of the labor world Owing to the
large number of unemployed in the
United States and the scarcity of en-
ployment of all kinds, there is no
longer any object to induce contractors
and other employers to import foreign
labor There is large surplus of Ia
Dor in the United States and no need
to look outside to ship it in.
Governor Mcconnell has always
stood very high with the department
and has earned an enviable reputation
for the conscientious and intelligent
discharge of duties that were often
exceedingly difficult of performance
In speaking of the order closing his
office and of the work in which he
would next engage, Governor McCon-
nell said, 81 have not as yet fully de-
cided what l will enter into. While
regret the severance of my relations
with the department of immigration
because they have always been SO
harmonious, yet / feel that it will
better for myself and perhaps better
for my state that l should be relieved
of any handicap as to the exercising
of any rights and duties pertaining to

the embargo from food shipments in
