Senator jim Ham Lewis, having
become somewhat disguised With Illi'
nois politics, has crossed over to Indi'
ana and is now wallowing in the dem
ocratic slough OF despond in that State.
1t is reported that he is trying to con-
vince Senator Kern that he, Kern,
would look more dignifed in a iurist' S
gown than in a senatorial toga which
has worn pretty ragged, and it is
planned to cut down Judge Grosscup's S
robe and made it over Tor the Indiana
senator. This seems TO be agreeable
to Mr.. Kern, who has some hesitation
in facing the cold blasts Of criticism
in his present abbreviated garment.
Kern snugly provided Tor, they will
consider putting Tom Taggart in his
place in the U. S. Senate. In the
meanwhile Taggart must face an in
dictment for election frauds in Indiana.

Notwithstanding the assistance which
the war has given to our trade and

For Better Roads

Communities interested in the i'm
provement ol roads are recommended
by the department 10 apply for lee
turer on the subject. Lecturers will
be sent at the government expense
wherever there is reason to believe
that audiences will be large enough to
make the expenditure Of time and
money worth while. Whenever pos
sible it is, Of course, desirable for
number OF communities in the same
vicinity 10 make arrangements for lee
lures at the same time, since in this
way the travelling expenses ior each
stop made by the lecturers are materi'
ally reduced.
The number OF the lecturers at the
disposal Of the department is limited
aud it is not always possible, therefore
TO comply with every request. When
lecturer can not be sent, however,
the department will loan a set Of suit
able lantern slides TO any responsible
local association or individual who will
pay the express charges. The only
requirements is that the slides be
made OF active and practical use in the
community and that they be returned
iu good condition in 90 daya. In ad
dition brief outline Of a lecture to &C
company the slides will be forwarded
on request. In addition to this edu
casional work, the department is al
ways to respond to requests for prac
tical assistance which may take tn
form Of special advice and inspection

surveys, experimental road work

Lucky Wilson

The war in Europe has vetoed the
tariff law. II has esected barrier as
effective as protection. 1t has like
wise flooded the country with war
orders, putting many mills On full time.
The result is a remarkable proof Of
protection as a stimulator Of prosperity.
Business was stagnant while the Under
wood tariff operated under normal con
ditions. The moment these condi'
tions were changed and the war be-
came a substitute for protection the
return to prosperity began. The
movement has been fastened by or
ders for war material, oi course, but
this has not been the decisive factor.
Mr.. Wilson may see, therefore, a
prosperity induced By the notification
Of his economic measures; prosperity
brought about in spite Of his policies,
not on account Of them. Neverthe
less, he is certain TO profit from the
conditions. Voters do not ask why's
and wherefores. They are satisfied
when they are prosperous, and dissat
isfed when they are not prosperous
The war has introduced into the politi
cal situation a new factor favorable t
the Democrats.
1t is imperative, therefore, that tn,
Republican party enter the campaign
next summer united. 1t has a hare
| fight ahead of any event. 1t canno
afford to be Ieactionary. It must b
aggressive, as it was in Liucoln's day
It must wage campaign Of education
Otherwise the electorate maybe delude
into believing that prosperity occasion
ed by temporary conditions is permi
nent. Our great industries must N
be dependent on the policies oi 9TH
nations, but on the economic progra
adhered 10 by the United State

To obtain such assistance local author
tiles should secure a blank from the
Office OF Public Roads on which TO
make applications. Requests from
corporate villages or cities can be
met however.
Bridge work is one branch Of road
building in which the department may
be OF particular service to local author
ities. Typical designs have been pre-
pared and copies Of these can be fur
nished on request. A few minor alter
ations would probably make such de-
sign suitable for special conditions, or
an engineer may be assigned to in
spect the site and offer suggestions.
In some cases designs by bridge
companies have been reviewed by the
department for the benefit OF local
officials.
Possibly the most important way,
however, in which the department
assist individual communities in the
betterment Of their roads is in laying
out a model system Of highways for
a county which is about to expend a
large sum Of money on roads. In
such cases the department assigns an
engineer to make a thorough study Of
the district. He ascertains where the
best road materials are, what roads are
the most important and therefore, to
be improved first, and provides for the
location Of each road so as to secure
the best possible drainage and grade,
and indicates the most suitable type
aud method OF construction, including
drainage structures, TO meet the needs
and means Of the community. When
his work is completed the county Off
cials have at their disposal the sesults
Of an exhaustive study Of the whole
problem and should be able TO carry
out the work with far more efficiency
and economy than would otherwise
be possible.
Road materials are also being con
tinually tested by the department anc
the information thus obtained is avail
able for any community in doubt as t
the kind Of road they purpose to buiic
Similar tests can also be secured OF
dust layers, such as road oils and tar
and the department will furnish tC
anyone Instructions as to selection anc
shipment Of samples. The tests ar
made free Of charge when they are de

The BOggIed War Tax"

The National Republican Congressional
Committee, which has concluded
study Of the Democratic war revenue
tax, asserts that it disregards the most
elementary principles Of law'msking.
The committee asserts that in the
drafting Of any special tax measure
where the approximate deficit to be
met is known, there are four simple
requirements that are obvious:
It should be determined where the
burden Of the tax should fall.
Based on accurate estimates, the Law
should produce the amount oI revenue
needed.
The law should be phrased in clear,
upmistakable terms, admitting Of but
one construction, that will insure a
minimum cost Of administration, pre-
vent confusion, and avoid usless, ex'
pensive litigation.
Timely, adequate provision should
be made ior revenue stamps, blank
returns, Instructions, and all other
numerous details entering into the en-
lorcement oI such a law.
The measure under review fails on
every one Of these counts, In respect
to the first essential, that Of determin-
ing where the burden Of the tax shall
fall, the committee points out that the
Democrats foundered repeatedly.
They first announced the plan Of in
creasing the income tax, and aban-
doned it on discovering that fnan-
cial returns would be delayed for
months under the method. Then
they turned 10 a plan of tax
ing freight receipts. This was dis
cHded with astonishing celebrity. Po-
litical pressure was too great. After
other Intellectual attempts the Spanish
war stamp tax was adopted as a basis,
giving the country a war tax" in
time Of peace. In the second place.
the Democratic estimates were mac
curate. Had they been based on iacts
instead Of guess work, the country
would not now have the treasury de-
felt as a constant reminder OF Demo
cratic extrayagance and inefficiency.
: The third essential was disregarded.
There are conflicting provisions in the
war tax" as to when tn shall take el'
: iect. Other clauses are so obscurely
phrasedlihat it has been necessary ,c
to appeal to the courts for construction
! AS to the fourth Of the principle
Z enumerated, so inadequate we're thc
e provisions lot stamps required unde
e the act that business all over the countr

c with the law. Long and annoyinI
II controversies arose over penalties 70

The Department Of Commerce has
issued a statement showing that for the
year ending June 80, 1915, the in
crease in population due to immigration
was only $4,000 as compared with an
increase OF 10000 for the preced-
ing year. The decrease was due to
the war. 1t seems perfectly clear,
therefore, that if the war had not in
tervened, we would have hae more
than 100000 persons added to the
army Of unemployed, whereas, in the
years Of normally prosperous industrial
conditions this country could absorb
the immigration without realizing that
so large a number Of persons had been
added TO our force Of workers. Here
is another instance in which the wal
relieved the democratic party Of some
Of the consequences Of its economic
policies.

Mr.. RedfisId's Absurd Contention

When a man has a theory which he
applies to the solution Of any given eco
nomic situation he naturally looks about
for facts to confirm it and he is fortunate
indeed il he finds them. Secretary Of
Commerce Redfeld finds it a part Of
his duty to insist upon the fact that
prosperity has returned to this fortunate
country and tha; it is here 10 stay and
10 work for the rehabilitation OF what
whatever has been lost in the Stacking
up Of induatries and the falling of Of
employment for the workers. Singu-
larry forgetting the fact that the slow
ing up Of busineas began a number oI
months before the European war, he
still attribu butes that depression 10 the
war which has since wrought cure
in the tremendous demand for certain
lines Of our manufactured goods and
for the making Of Others which the
fighting nations need. Wherever that
influence prevails, Mr., Redfeld sees
the evidences Of permanent prosperity,
and even should the war stop next
week he would expect the same cause
to produce the same effect indefinitely
and to continue TO shed abroad the
luster OF glory in the light Of which
his department basks.
Every fresh order from Europe is a
new evidence to Secretaty Redfeld's s
logical mind that the success Of the
new economic plan adopted early in
the year is assured, and that the wal
which at first appeared as a bird o.
prey turns out to be the bearer o.
benefits and to come with healing or
its wings. The change OF the Tariff
has not depressed business, he thinks
even though we had business depres'
sion Immediately following its goinl
into operation and that condition wa
intensified by the uncertainties Of The
early months Of the war. But nov
that change has come he feels tina
i, justifes his assumption that prosper
ity was on the way, waited hither b,
the new Tariff arrangement, and i
now driven in and clinched BY tn,
orders for war material and the sur
plus food which we have to sent
abroad.
It is little singular that the wa
which caused the business depression
should larer have cured it, as MI
Redfeld seems TO believe, but prof.
5 ably he finds warrant in the old Pre-
' scription Of "a hair Of the same dog

fiscal year the ordinary expenditures
amounted to $40, 1896, ,l74.68 while the
receipts were only s1,72s,750 05,
leaving deficit Of sS,67O,s24.63.
The new fiscal year began with a
deficit growing at the rate Of more
than 50, 100000 per day.
The democratic press is waxing
eloquent in commentator Of the ap'
pointment Of Robert Lansing as Secre'
tary Of State, the principal cause for
lelicitation being the TACT that he is ap'
parently qualified for the job. 1t
must be admitted that the circum'
stances are such as 10 make that mem
Der OF the cabinet fit subject for
special encomiums.
The democratic U. S. Senator who
wanted TO know what feature Of demo-
Legislation the republicans would re-
peal, might find an answer from dem
ocratic sources if he would read the
arguments Of the Administrations legal
department which is pleading with the
Supreme Court to declare the FIVE per
cent rebate clause Of the tariff bill in
operative. In effect, the Department
OF Justice takes the position that the
tariff bill authors either did not know
what they were saying or did not know
how to say it.
The democratic new area Of fhope,"
which superseded the republican era
Of prosperity" is getting even more
hopeful with the advent Of the harvest
season which always provides employ
ment for everyone.

T. A. Randall this week in
stalled in his confectionery store
one of the finest soda fountains
this side of Spokane. The fount-
ain and accessories originally
cost about $4,000 and was pur-
chased by Robert Dunlap at
Grangeville some two years ago.
Dunlap later went to the wall
and Mr.. Randall secured the
fountain from the creditors at a
price far below its original value.
The fountain is a beautiful mar
BILE affair and is certainly attract
i've. By installing the new fount-
ain and rearranging the interior
of his store Mr.. Randall gains
considerable more room and will
have as cozy a place as can be
found outside of the large cities.

THE POLITICAL
SITUATION
The Lewiston Tribune's Boise
Correspondent Talks of the
Present Outlook at State
Legislature.

Norah Marks, the Boise corre-
spondent Of the Lewiston Trib-
une, writes the following inter-
esting letter of the political stu
alton at the state capital as he
sees it:
Boise, Jan. %. 1t seems to be
a case of "the devil take the
hindmost" in this political cru
sade against the demon drink.
After sizing up the situation in
and around the legislature the
man up tree is forced to the
conclusion that it is no longer a
question of the destruction of the
licensed saloon, but how far the
lawmakers will go in the matter
of regulating the personal habits
of the citizens of the state.
Measures have already been pro-
posed in the legislature ranging
all the way from submission of a
constitutional amendment to the
making it a felony for an indi-
vidual to have intoxicating liquor
in his possession, either in his
home or elsewhere.
Drastic legislation on the SUBJ
ject may be counted on as certain.
All parties are for it, the govern
or is for it and both branches of
the legislature are for it. Every
body around the state capitol
seems to be bidding for the favor
Of the drys by assaults, fore and
aft, on the citadel of King Alco-
hol. The feeling on the subject
is intense. 1t is possible that the
final action on it will be the feat
ure of the legislative session.
Republicans took the lead in
the matter of legislation on liquor
traffic. The senators hardly had
their seats warm before Hart,
the majority leader, introduced
the resolution providing for the
submission of a constitutional
amendment. 1t is pretty we'll
understood that he took this early
action to head off the democrats.
Senator Hart could have taken
this action two years earlier but
he did not, and the natural as
sumption is that he has had his
political eye on the weather vane
since.
This Hart resolution went
through the senate as if on skids.
