| While he message OF Governor
AlexaDder is one OF the strongest
ever addressed to state legisla.
ture and presents many emphat.
ic and needed reforms along
economic lines, there is one point
wherein the Governor, in his zeal
for tax reduction, overlooks the
principle OF common honesty; it
Is that portion Of the message
dealing with the fish and game
fund.
Those who love the sport and
recreation afforded by our
streams and hunting grounds,
which ~ one of Idaho's greatest
assets; those who believe that
we should perpetuate that pleas
ure Tor succeeding generations;
those who believe in propagating
and protecting our fish and
game, secured the passage OF a
law providing for the fish and
game department. To pay the
EXPENSES OF that department a
license WAS placed on hunting
and fishing Thev felt that the
burden of maintaining that de-
partment should not be placed
ON the general taxpayer, and
were perfectly willing to assume
the burden themselves Not one
dollar has been expended by
tnat department that was raised
b' geI eral taxation The budg
ct Tor that department does not
enter into the item labeled
"state and county tax" The
and the property OF
the people of Idaho are not af-
fected by the maintenance of
this department. 1t is in u class
by Itself, and is supported by a
special tax levied for a special
purpose, and Governor Alexan-
der, who Is one of the heavy tax
payers Of the state, never con-
trlbuted one cent toward it.
Yet he now proposes TO take
100000 OF that fund and pay
the general taxes OF the state
with 1t, which would help some
TO reduce his own enforced con-
tribution.
To follow his recommendation
would be plain simple theft.
Read it in any way you will,
there can be no other conclusion. |
That money is paid by certain
people Tor a special purpose. To
use 1t Tor any other would be
subversive OF law aud morality,
The people who pay that tax
are entitled to the benefit of 1t. |
Conversely, the people who con-
tribute nothing toward it have
no right to appropriate it to.
ward reducing their own ex-
penses. With his ordinarily Just
and logical mind, we are at a
loss TO account for the gov
srnor's viewpoint.
Ii the moneys collected Tor the
protection and propagation of
fish and game are not being
wisely expended, Governor Alex
ander should see that they are.
IL, as charged, the fish and game
is administered
purely as a political perQuisite
OF the governor OF the state;
Governor Alexander should see
that the policy is changed, and
its work done rightly for the
benefit OF those who pay the tax.
II we are expending more for the
protection and propagation OF
fish and game OF our state than
can be wisely and proftably ex-
pended, there is one-and only
one-saie. sane and honest rem
edy, and that is to reduce the
tax. But in the name OF CON-
mon honesty, don't reduce it on
the man who doesn't pay it.

photoplay must always be more or less

DEDICATION DAY
TO Be BIC event
w. J. BRYAN TO SPEAK AT BLOOM.
FIELD AUGUST IS IN HONOR
or GEN. J. 3. WEAVER.

The coming Of w. ]. Bryan to Bloom
field Wednesday, August Is, to speak
at the dedication of the ]. b. Weaver
home as a chautauqua park, Is being
made quite an event by the people OF
Bloomfield. The citizens have pur-
chased the old home of General Weav-
er which includes several acres in the
heart Of the city and will make it a
memorial park. Preparations toward
making the dedication an event OF
more than ordinary Importance are
underway and an immense crowd is
expected to visit Bloomfield and par
ticipate in the exercises, chief Of
which will be the dedicatory speech Of
Mr.. Bryan, an old friend and admirer
OF the departed soldier-stateman whose
memory the occasion Is to honor.
I The event is purely non-political and
an occasion of local pride wherein
citizens Of Bloomfield and Davis coun-
ty of every political party have gotten
together and purchased the old home
with the intention Of perpetuating the
name OF the former honored resident
by making the place memorial park
for chautauqua purposes. Trains on
both the Wabash and Burlington roads
will be held at Bloomfield the day Of
the dedication until after the Bryan
speech. n " Il

From New York and California
came recently almost simultaneous de-
cisions upon a similar question OF law
and policy. Each Of these decisions
sounds tocsin of the laws advance
to substantial occupancy Of ground al
ready won by conscience and COM
mon sense. Both deal with matters
of vital Importance to all who do the
work OF the country's enterprises and
to all who stand in the relation OF en-
ployer to employed; both effect vital
ly the application and operation OF
humanitarian measures which form a
conspicuous part of recent legislation;
both frankly put old rules and con-
cepts into the discard, and boldly say
that the law must recognize that the
new occasions and new needs have
taught new duties and new standards.
The California decision Is that Of
its recently created industrial accident
commission A man named Mason
had been killed while at work and
the commission allowed his heirs COM
pensation from his employer. The
New York decision Is that Of the ap-
pellate division of the supreme court
at Albany, reversing three-to-two de-
cision Of the New York state work
mems compensation commission, that
the widow of man named Rheinwald
was not entitled to indemnity under
the workmen's compensation law for
the death of her husband while he was
at work. In neither case was the
workers death due to negligence or
fault on the part of the employer;
but In both New York and California
the old fault" or negligence theory
Of employers liability has been super
seeded by statute, and new system
set up, under which the injured work
er Is entitled TO reimbursement for
loss OF earnings if he is injured in the
course of his employment, regardless
Of whether the employer Is directly
blameable.
The clean-cut principle enunciated
in both decisions deserves nationwide
attention. For fifty years, our legis-
latures, courts and humanitarians
have been struggling with the insult
ableness and injustice of the COM
mon-law rules governing the relation
Of master and servant" as criteria
of rights and liabilities under the COM
pick Industrial conditions Of modern
times.

Concepts which had their origin IN
a simpler society and state of indus
try have caused more pain and suf-
fering, injuries and deaths, disabili-
ties and bereavements, than all the
wars of the century, so harsh and un-
suited have they proved when courts
went on trying to apply them to pres
ent day Industrial conditions. "The
assumption of risk doctrine has
cloaked more atrocities than modern
warfare; the fellow servant rule,
the awkward yardsticks Of "negli-
gence" and "contributory negligence"
and the rest OF the Technology and
doctrine of day long past, have
caused more want and heartache and
bereavement than the present war In
Europe could create in decade. Yet
there have been courts and legisla-
lures which have been seeking to
carry over these Anticipated concepts
Into the application and Interpretation
of the new workmen's compensation
statutes!
To such q program. New York and
California have interposed mighty
negative. The rule is laid down that
the new statutes ought not to be
hampered or crippled by continued
application Of definitions, concepts
and rules of liability which indubit-
ably produced in large part the very
conditions Of hardship from which the
present statute was designed as COM
prehensive relief" The New York
court, through an epoch-marking
opinion by Justice woodward, de-
clares that injuries sustained by
those who perform the manual tasks
of an industry must be deemed TO
have been intended by this statute to
be made a social risk, liability Of
the industry, a charge upon the pro-
duction cost OF the article manufac-
tured or the service rendered"
The decisions read like literature
OF new day; they have the tonic ef-
feet of an atmosphere which has been
cleared and refrigerated; they express
a spirit which everywhere is becoming
more manifest in judicial decision as
well as in legislative and executive
policy; they represent another in
stance in which law has come abreast
of common sense and fundamental
conscience, and has crystallized in per-
manent form the humanitarian aspirar
lions and purposes Of our people. s.
