less appropriation bills, and he
may have gone too far in some
instances, yet the criticism is not
justified by the facts. The leg
islature is at fault for placing the
governor in a position where it
became necessary to exercise his
veto power. OF late years, and
he habit seems to grow with each
succeeding session, the legisla-
tors assemble at Boise and each
has a scheme to extract money
from the state treasury for his
constituency in the shape of spe-
cial appropriations and the out
come is the looting Of the treas
Jury regardless of the legitimate
demands or the burdens heaped
ION the people generally. In his
efforts to stop this looting the
governor has used the veto power
given him by the constitution as
a safeguard against such things.
The educational appropriation
bills should carry enough money
O economically and fully sustain
the system at its highest standard
gof efficiency and no more, and if
the governor has cut these ap-
preparations too deeply the fact
will develop before his admins
tration ends and the matter later
Iremedied. But if time proves
that the educational system has
not been injured, that much mon
ey is saved. The people bur
dened with taxation are not los
ing any sleep over the action of
Governor Alexander in cutting
down appropriations and vetoing
the special appropriation bills
which carried hundreds of thou
sands of dollars for the purchase
land building of bridges, or the
construction of special roads and
for the benefit of local commun-
kilies at the expense of all the peO-
pie. The legislature forced the
vetos on the governor and is re-
Isponsible for them as we'll as for
he high taxes which result from
is disregard of the peoples in

WAR AND IMMIGRATION

The report of the immigration
bureau for the last six months
shows that there has been more
emigration than immigration
So we are likely for a time at
least to be without the reinforce
ment Of the European inflow
which for fifty years has been an
important part of our growth.
The opponents of immigration
may learn whether the change
will inure to the advantage of the
labor market, as it was hoped it
would. Usually it is industrial
conditions both here and abroad
that govern immigration. With
high tide of industrial prosper
lily here and a low tide in Europe
immigration is likely to set in.
What will follow the war can
only be surmised. At present
there is light demand among us
while Europe is calling for SOL
diers. 1t may be that Europe
will need for years to come all
Of her own people so that we
shall have no feeling of necessity
for bar of any kind. On the
other hand, people may desert
the war-ridden land and we shall
have an inflow. We have never
yet seen the necessity of putting
up the bars except as to incom-
petents, both physical and finan-
cial, and we may trust to the de-
mands of any time to take care
of themselves. OF one thing we
think the country may be sure,
that if it ever faces time when
there shall be cessation of immi-
grafton, it will find that what it
has considered an evil has had
more of good in it than it sus-
pected.

LOSS OF REVENUE

1t is estimated by government
statistical experts that a strict
enforcement of the Anglo-F French
blockade-for that is what is is
now called-will result in a loss
to this country Of $4,000 a day
III revenue derived from customs
A shrinkage of over S30,OO0,00
year is a serious thing in the
present state of our finances.
We have already lost much from
this source, as our imports from
Germany for the seven months
ending January, 1915, were only
$685. ,060 as against $if2,745,-
COS for the corresponding period
Of the proceeding year-a falling
off of more than $4,000, 900.
The situation is certain to grow
worse as the war continues.
Last October congress imposed
war tax that was designed to
meet this emergency. Whether
it will suffice or not is believed
to be doubtful. The income tax
was intended to make up for the
loss in customs duties due to the
extension of the free list But
the amount derived from that
tax was disappointing. II may
be that more will be realized this
year. Bad business has also
had an unfavorable influence on
revenue, as it always does, so
that the war is not wholly re-
sponsible. But it has certain
ly complicated the situation very
seriously.
It would be we'll if those in au-
thority would give some thought
to possible means of ecOnOmizing
Appropriations, of course, are
fixed, but there is no compulsion
on the executive department to
spend money simply because it
has the authority or right to do
so. Even in as rich a country
as this the people are beginning
10 feel somewhat keenly the bur-
den Of taxation, and of high
prices. Many Of these latter are
certain to go higher. Wheat is
far above the normal. With the
cutting off of trade other articles
notably chemicals-are ad-
vancing. in a recent New York
dispatch it was said that within
the last few weeks carbolic acid
had risen in price from ~ cents
to $3.50 a pound wholesale. or
course, the ability of the people
to pay taxes has by no means
been exhausted, but nevertheless
they would like to see a deter
mined effort to keep down the
cost Of government. It is certainly
no time to be running wild. The
war itself is an enormous tax on
the whole world.

A TipeeRARY COTTAGE

gray mass which had caught my eye
was the famous rock crowned with
King Cormac's chapel. The rock of
Cashel Is a name known to Irish
people all the world over. Its great
est day was when It was the seat of
the Munster kings, especially during
the reign of the illustrious and munifi.
cent Cormac.
"And II the court of the prelate king
was splendid and brilliant, the king
dom over which Cormac held sway
was worthy of such capital and such
monarch. 1t was rich and fertile
and beautiful beyond all power of ex-
preston. 1t teemed with plenty-its
resources were inexhaustible. From
one blue mountain range to another
It was garden and a cornfield and
a school all In one. There must have
been a great happiness all over the
Golden Vale then, for the chroniclers
tell US that the kingdom was filled
with divine grace and worldly prosper
ity. f. The cattle needed no cowherd
and the fiocks no shepherd so long as
he was king"
Where the Devil Took q Bite.
The Rock OF Cashel, wherein Cor
mac built his chapel, Ia one of the
most startling freaks Of nature to be
seen in all Ireland. Three hundred
feet Of sheer rock jut out Of an i'm
mense smooth plain. Generations of
Irishmen, from away back before Cor
macs time, have wondered how 1t
came there. And in their poetic fash
ion they have explained the natural
phenomenon by means of a curious
legend. II you stand on the rock you
can see on In the distance the Devils
Bit mountains.
The highest of them has q strange
appearance OF having been bitten OF
at the summit. The ragged edges
seem to have been made by monstrous
teeth. So they call them the Devils
Bit mountains. For. according to the
legend, the old tempter Of mankind
was once chasing an enemy around
the County Tipperary. The fend was
both angry and hungry. and he
stopped q moment to take q huge
bite out Of the hills to the north Of
Cashel. But the runaway gained on
him when he paused for his bit Of sup
per. and the fiend in his anger spat
the mouthful of rock after him. And
there It lies to this day to prove the
truth of the chronicle.
st. Patrick, of course, was before
King Cormac's day. The patron saint
Of Erin was great figure in Tip
perary. But even before st. Patrick's
coming Cashel was military strong
hold and the seat Of kings. It is re-
lated that two swineherds dreamed
they saw an angel blessing the rock.
They told their dream to the king OF
Munster. who built fort there early
In the NTH century.
II was in this same century that
Patrick came to convert Ireland. II
was on the Rock Of Cashel that st.
Patrick preached to King Agus and
his people. and plucked from the
grass at his feet the little shamrock
that ever since has symbolized the
blessed Trinity.
