The Earliest Artillery.

We think OF eighteen inch ARTILLERY
as distinctly modern. Yet the first
cannon ever taken into the field were
of that callber. A crude motar was
fired at the battle of Crecy, fought in
1916. The early cannon balls were
chisled from stone, and the projectile,
which fits the ancient mortar, Is
made of solid granite. Two powerful
men could scarcely lift 1t. Thes
ancient projecties remained in use
for surprisingly long time, for IL is
recorded that in 1907 a British man
of-war engaged against the Turks
had her mainmast severed by seven
hundred pound stone shot from a
Turkish battery. American Boy

ture is elucidated by returning
members. A number of bills were
passed which are of Importance, !
while others, meritorious and |
otherwise, we're defeated and a
few vetoed. w. H. Edelblute,
one of the four representatives
from Kootenai, arrived at his home
in Rathdrum Monday morning.
Mr.. Edelblute was chairman Of the
house committee on appropriations
and his experience as member of |
the Twelfth session (IoI3) doubt
less proved valuable to him in per-
forming we'll the duties of that
important assignment.
Under pressing insistence from
all sides to reduce expenses, the
work of the house and senate and
of the governor has reduced the
biennial ad valorem tax half a
million dollars The lower appro-
priations, further reduced by the
governors veto, are about that
much less than those for IoJ3-I4.
Mr.. Edelblute said he favored
economy but feared some of the
! reductions made were ill-advised
and might impair the efficiency of
some of the state institutions. He
states that the budget was itemized
in most instances, but could not be
! in all, lest too much or too little
money be allowed for certain spec
iflc purposes and not being trans
ferable thus interfere seriously
with some of the necessary work Of
some departments.
Some claims against the state,
which the Legislature considered
just and sought to pay by enact
ment, were disapproved by the
governor. Among these were the
claims for money and material for
contract work on the university.
, Mr.. Edelblute said in one instance
damages were refused to farmer
who lost $500 worth of hogs by
reason OF the anti-cholera serum
bought from the state being worth
less. Idaho is one of the states
that cannot be sued, and for that
reason persons who have claims
for services or damages seek
redress through the Legislature.
Mr. Edelblute was author OF
several bills wh:Sh met with defeat,
while others received favorable
, action. Regarding bills of parti-
cular interest to this part of the
state, Mr.. Edelblute expressed
g regret that his bill to declare the
e road from Clarkfork, through
Standpoint, Athol and Rathdrum tc

WANTS ANOTHER INQUIRY.
The spectacular congressional lob
by investigation of 1918 has not
completely eliminated the lobby ac-
cording to statement by the most
conspicuous character unveiled. Col
onel M. M. Mulhall declares that "a
few months after the investigation
was over the old lobby began to come
back, and they are stronger today In
Washington and at the state capitals
than they have ever been before"
Colonel Mulhall, therefore, wants an
other investigation.
Senator John W, Weeks of Massa-
chuesetts declares that the govern
ment is making large profit on first
class mail, and he adds that too
much discrimination exists in the
postal laws favoring certain classes of
mail.
PARCEL POST NOT A MONEY
MAKER. 1t was calculated that
the parcel post would render an i'm
mense profit to the government, and
department officials prophesied in the
beginning that Uncle Sam would
clean up from $40, 900, 900 to $50, 000,-
900 annually upon this branch of the
service. The postoffice itself appears
to be in considerable of quandarY as
to the results of the parcel post, but
the special Joint committee of con-
/ gress headed by Senator Bristow, has
made report upon the parcel post,
and while it does not deal eci1cally
with its revenue producing powers it
clearly indicates that this new feature
in postal affairs is not a money
maker.
The postoffice department makes
millions of dollars on first class mail
matter, and loses it,-and more, In
carrying newspapers, merchandise
and other classes OF mail. AS the
principal function Of the postoflict
department is to transmit communi-
cations, the suggestion put forth by
Senator Weeks boils down to th,
plain proposition that inasmucn a!
letter mail is undoubtedly able to pa,
its own way at the one cent rate o
postage, the people are entitled Il
that rate. But there Is no attemp
upon the part of Senator Weeks o
any one else who thinks as he does
to conceal the fact that one cen
letter postage would mean a highe
rate upon parcels and second clas
mail matter.
Undoubtedly Senator Weeks
right; nevertheless there is lttl
probability of one cent letter postag
, for good many years.
