Other 'EadS Than Ours
TELLING THE PLAIN TRUTH

Idaho may we'll feel proud of be-
ing represented in the United States
Senate by man like VIM. E. Borah
He is not only a man of superior abil-
legislator of lofty purposes and OF
sturdy patriotism. There is no du-
plicity in his makeup He is straight
forward, candid, courageous and al
ways conscientious.
In marked contrast with the dod2
ing and trimming of others, Sen ator
al manner the issue Of Incorporating
women the right to vote. In letter
addressed to Miss Mabel Vernon, one
of the field workers of the congress
sionaI union, Senator Borah then de-
fined his position on that question:
1.-THE more | study the question Of
in the wisdom of giving women the
right to vote. But | am not in favor
of the proposed amendment to the ma
tional constitution. 1t is, in my judg-
ment, inexpedicnt, impractical, I'M
wise and unjust.
-In the first place, there is no
chance of obtaining the adoption of
the proposed amendment by the states.
We could never or at least, within any
reasonable number of years, obtain
woman suffrage in this way. There
are from sixteen to twenty states that
would never ratify this amendment so
long as the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution remains a part of that
instrument. By this proposed amend
ment the women who favor suffrage
draw to their causes the whole race
question, and it is a burden which
woman suffrage cannot carry.
But final and conclusive beyond all
possible change with me is the pro-
position that this amendment strikes
at the very foundation of our whole
scheme of a federal union. | cannot
of anything being left to a
state which has not the right to say |
who within its own jurisdiction shall |
vote.
This question of determining the
is peculiarly and wholly a
state matter"
Senator Borah, Republican that he
Is, doubtless realizes that a colossal
DIunder was made when the fifteenth
was by dubious methods
forced into the federal constitution.
While it is quite true that the pro-
posed woman suffrage amendment is
N no sense to be compared Gas to
merritt with the fifteenth amendment,
t is equally true that its adoption
would augment the most objectional
features of the latter by making vo-
ers of the densely ignorant women
# the South.
The women suffrage question can
asily be settled without attempting to
mend the federal constitution. All 1
hat needs to be done is to get states \
hat are in favor of woman suffrage to
onfer that privilege by state action
senator Borah is exactly right in de- q
ming his position.-The Editorial. :

UNIFORM TAXATION.

Property differs so greatly in char
acter and earning power it has always
been impossible to tax the various
kinds uniformly. Every attempt to
tax movable property the same as i'm.
movable property has failed and will
always fail 1.-TWO wrongs do not
make right" and when assessors
find it impossible to discover the own
ership of movable property and under.
take to square things by lowering the
assessment of immovable property,
there is no right or justice in it and
everybody suffers in mind and matter.
The more stringent the Law to un.
cover movable property the faster it
moves and hides, and this fact is so
well established the assessors in most
counties let movable property go by
default. So-called Uniform taxation
is a delusion and a snare. 1t may
suffice to fool the ignorant, but the
knowing ones just laugh at it. This
is rough on the poor man 'whose all
is in sight and immovable, and is also
tough on the rich man who defies the
law and hides his wealth from the
assessor, for he knows he is doubly
guilty III saving himself at the ex
pense OF his less fortunate neighbor

EQUITABLE TAXATION.

The differences in property call for

more taxes because of the improve.
ments justified by the mans money
is Just as useful citizen as the man
who puts his money in lands and
houses; but when the first man OBJ
jects to giving up the greater part OF
the earnings ON his securities, issued
on property already taxed, he is
looked upon as tax dodger, and the
man with the houses and lands who
cannot so readily escape denounces O
tax system which seems so unfair. ASK
this man to surrender half to three
fourths of the income from his houses
and lands and there would be another
tale. The revenue OF the first mar
is limited, while that of the other is
unlimited, and yet there are people
who cannot see the distinction. Equit
able taxation is based on the earning
power Of all property, in just proper
tion, and II any partiality is shown 4

The answer is because of our repellent

The Country Editor.

He might have been a millionaire.
And won financial fame,
Or sat in directors chair,
Had money been his aim;
He chose instead to spend his
years
In service poorly paid,
And with the paste pot and the
shears
"A humble living made.
He chronicled the towns events;
The local goings-on;
His fellow townsmen's hopes and
bents
Inspired his lexicon;
He felt the public pulse that beat
Around him, and he tried
To make his little country sheet
A thing of local pride.
Unselfishly, with all his heart,
He strove but to upbuild
His town, of which he was a part,
With great ambition filled.
He spoke well of his fellow men;
He praised when praises was due
He welded but a kindly pen,
And small reward he drew.

REGARD FOR THE LAW.

Ignorance Of the Law is no excuse
and disregard of the Law is crime
When Laws are so obnoxious as to
afford excuses for noncompliance they
should be changed, and the people
have this right. "If your right hand
offend you, cut it off," was no idle in.
junction, but means the offense should
be removed rather than the mutila.
tion of the member.
Our Tax Laws are distasteful and
detrimental, but the remedy should be
to amend them instead of allowing
them to undermine the morals Of the
people by openly disregardihg them.
The successful evasion of one Law
may encourage the violation of others
and in time breed a contempt for all
Laws.
While every citizen owes obedience
to the Laws, the Laws should be made
fair and equal to every citizen.
The Tax Laws are neither fair nor
equal and are productive of deceit and
dishonor and if for no other reason
than this should be changed.

Henry, deceased, was run over
and killed by an Ohio & Kentucky
engine at Licking River Saturday
