To Discard FreCkIeS,
Tan, PimpleS, Wrinkles

The use Of creams containing animal sub
stance sometimes causes hair to grow. You
run no risk OF acquiring superfluOus hair
when you use ordinary mercolized wax There
is nothing better for dscolored skin, as
the wax actually absorbS the offensive
cuticle. The latter is naturally replaced by
a clear, smooth. healthy complexion, full Of
life and expression. It's the sensible way
to discard freckled. tanned over.red,
blochy or pmpled skin. Get an ounce Of
mercClized wax at auy druggists and apply
nightly like cold cream erasing in the morn
ing with soap and water. II takes week
or 50 to complete the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle remover is made by dis.
solving an ounce Of powdered saxOlte in a
half pint witch hazel Bathing the face in
the solution brings almost instantaneous re-
sults.-Adv.

| The legislature refused to adopt the
budget system in the appropriation bill
thereby depriving the governor of the
right to exercise his constitutional pre-
negatives to the full extent They APP
propriated lump sums wherever they
saw fit to do SO, and consequently in
creased the cost of the state govern
ment and put the state backward in
stead of forward.
The School Budget
The lower house, which is charged
with the creating of revenue bills,
passed an appropriation bill for the ed
vocational institutions of the state
amounting to over $800,000 not includ-
ing the appropriation for the normal
school at Albion
The senate reduced this appropria-
ton nearly $175,0OO. The Albion
normal school was afterwards added
to the educational bill carrying $62,-
700 above the 100000 appropriated
( With the Albion normal and all the
other educational institutions properly
taken care of, this educational bill rs
it now stands, carries $657,333, or &
real reduction of nearly a quarter of a
million dollars over the amount origin
ally appropriated by the lower house
Under house bill No. 396, by the COM
mittee on state affairs, which passed
the lower house, there was levied ar
annual ad valorem tax upon all the
property of the state of Idaho of
$1,000,000 per annum, or S2000,00C
for the two years 1876 against my
protest on account of being too ex-
cessive
Urged a Reduction
When this bill reached the senate l
again urged a reduction of said amount
to $1,300,000. The senate partially
co-operated with me on those lines
and reduced said amount from $4,000
900 to $1,50O,000, the lowest they would
consent to reduce it, and the bill car
rying $1,500,000 was passed by the
senate and afterwards accepted by the
house against my solemn protest
in the matter, and unless the state
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-04-05

prefer to take a chance with the board
of equalization, whose membership is
composed of men who will no doubt
pay some attention to the require
ments of the state and the rights of
the taxpayers thereof
Actual Cash Reduction
But even with the $1,500,O00 author
lied levy for this administration, the
taxpayers of the state will realize an
actual cash reduction in their tax bill
of 100000 from the $2,0O0,000 author
lied two years ago, which reduction
will be convincing argument that not
only have the expenditures been re-
duced but the pledge to reduce taxa
ton has likewise been kept.

Governor.

POINTS HELD ESSENTIAL
IN COMING FISCAL QUERY
Southwest Citizens Designate Three
Important Factors in Determin-
ing D. C. and q. S. Relationship.

Three points are essential to a proper
determination of the relationship be-
tween the District of Columbia and the
federal government, according to be-
lief expressed by members of the
Southeast Washington Citizens Asso
oiation in adopting resolutions at a
meeting at 314 Pennsylvania avenue
southeast last evening. The associa-
don decided to undertake a campaign
for funds for the aid of the committee
Of the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
lions which Is to aid in presenting
facts to the joint select committee of
Congress appointed to Investigate the
fiscal relations between the District of
Columbia and the national government
The three points brought out in the
resolution were:
II. That property in the District of
Columbia should be assessed at a fair
valuation and at a reasonable rate of
taxation That valuation and taxation
rates should be reasonably constant In
order that property owners may not be
subjected to unusual and unexpected
demands.
"2. That the agencies of governme mt,
such as the fire department, the police
force and the public schools, should be
supported jointly by the District of Co
lumbta and the federal government.
q. That those government functions
which are chiefly national should be
financed by the federal government"
Capt. William Luckett presided at the
meeting in the absence Of the presi-
were adopted with only a brief discus
sion.
