The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1915-11-19

Former Governor John NJ. Haines
enjoys one great distinction over any
other chief executive that ever serv-
ed the State of Idaho. His admins
tration was the only one in the history
of the state under which taxes were
actually reduced. When The Tribune
speaks of a reduction in taxes, it does
not mean a reduction on paper or in
theory alone, but an actual reduction
that effected the pocket books. We
mean such a reduction as permits the
farmer, the merchant or the city and
town home owner to discharge his
obligation to the public, in the way
of taxes, for less sum of money than
he had done in previous years. That
was the condition that actually came
about under The administration of
Governor Haines.
1t has been claimed that the Gov
ernor of state has but little power
over taxation, because so little of the
tax burden is imposed by the state
and the balance is beyond his control.
This is true in the ordinary sense, but
Governor Haines did not go about the
matter in an ordinary way. He made

MUST DISPOSE
OF THEIR LINES

AS will be seen elsewhere III the
Gazette, by decision of the Inter
state Commerce Commission in Wash
Iington yesterday several Chesapeake
Bay steamers together with WharVes'
piers and other equipment, will be
put on the market. The commission
ruled that the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company must dispose OF the follow
ing steamboat lines: Chester RIVER;
Wicomico River, Pocomoke RIVER,
Choptank River and Occohannock
River. Steamers in these waters ply
between Baltimore and landings. on
the several river mentioned. All OF
these routes are on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia. The COM
mission reserved it's decision on the
DISPOSAL of the following lines: Poto-
mac liver, appahannock River,
Piankatank River.
For many years but one line OF
steamers have been operating be
tween Washington, Alexandria, river
landings and Baltimore. What was
known for a long time as the Weems
Line enjoyed monopoly OF that
route until the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company purchased the steamers
some time ago. These boats have
virtually absorbed all transportation
from the opposite Maryland shores
and a considerable volume of busl-
ness which in by gone years was en-
joyed by Alexandria has been trans
ferred to the Monumental City. The
most important points on the VIZ
ginia side of the Potomac-1 coco
mico river and Cone river are only
visited by the Baltimore steamers.
In the olden times there were COM
peting lines for the trade Of the Po-
tomac. Many years ago the steamer
Columbia ran on that route, as DID the
steamer Diamond State, and before
the advent of the latter the steamer
George Washington competed with
the Columbia. At the outbreak OF the
civil war the steamer st. Nicholas
(upon which the "Franch Lady" APP
peared in the early summer OF 1861
also made trips between Alexandra
and Baltimore.
In the early seventies four steam
ers were engaged in running be-
tween Washington, Alexandria, river
landings and Baltimore. They were
the Columbia, Express, Georglanna
and Charlotte Vanderbilt, The En-
press was lost in the bay in October
1878, after which time but one boat
ran on the route. This was the Sue
The Weems Line enjoyed the entire
trade from that time until it was
succeeded by the Maryland, Delaware
and Virginia Railway Company, ope-
rated. by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has reserved its decision concern
inc this line as we'll as that operat-
ing between Baltimore and the kaP-
pahannock river.
An effort was made many years
ago to establish steamboat line be-
tween Washington, Alexandria and
Fredericksburg and the steamer
Lady Of the Lake was placed upon
the route. The enterprise proved
failure however.

Plans for the removal of the Rus
sian capital to Moscow are now said
to be under consideration. at Petro-
grad. Though Petrograd is in no
danger at present from the German
field army. the German fleet at latest
reports was menacing Riga, the cap
ture of which would permit the land
ing of troops from transports. The
length of the Russian front probably
would prevent long defense by the
Cars troops in the Baltic provinces.
From a strategic standpoint, Mos
