because letters, whether sealed or not,
take the frst-class rate of 3 cents an
ounce or fraction thereof.
Don't mail letters unless addressed
and with your return address on them.
We have had several letters posted
lately without address or return, which
had to be sent to the dead letter Office.
Don't think because you get 4
pounds of parcel post from Seattle for
II cents that you can send 3 pounds
back for 6 cents; because the rate is
cents for the first pound and 2 cents
for each additional pound. Also, that
if you receive A pounds from New York
for 8 cents and the postmaster asks you
48 cents to return the same, don't inn
agine he is holding you up; for the
package has been sent by express to
Spokane and mailed from there for s
cents. The postage rate from here to
New York is II cents pound.

II. Martin of the Children's Home
at Lewiston, who was here the first

instructed to investigate the workings
of this person with the view of Sc

fact is, the work she ported to
be engaged in is thoroughly covered
by the Children's Home Finding and

connected with that Institution should !
be required to show satisfactory
credentials before rece wing any con

Post Office Don'ts.

Don't take your letters to the train
to mail them. The local postoffice Of
ficials recently received a communica-
ton from the chief clerk of the railway
mail service informing them tina. the
clerk on the Grangeville-L Lewiston line
had entered complaint because of the
number of unsorted letters that were
being brought over on the morning
train from Nezperce, and asked that
the matter be remedied.
1t is against the rules for the train
men to take these letters over, but has
been tolerated on account of the time
the train arrives and departs, and if
this privilege is abused it is liable to
be refused. Consequently, we appeal
10 the citizens not to make use of this
privilege as a convenience, but as a
necessity only, and to mail all letters
possible at the post Office before the
nail closes.
Don't put an extra 1-cent stamp on
letter when you think if weighs over
me ounce, as the rate on first class
natter is cents for an ounce or frac
ion thereof. So if your letter weighs !
yer l and under 2 ounces, put on 4

Great Sea Power NeceSSitateS Great Arm

Great Sea Power Necessitates Great Army
Writing in Land & Water, A. II.
Pollen states that it is one of the
paradoxss of the present war that
the possession of an invincible navy,
instead of freeing Great Britain from
military obligations, has placed them
upon her shoulders. He points out
that so absolutely has the enemy &C
cepted the British sea supremacy,
that she has lost both the advantages
and disadvantages of her insular
position. $50 far" says he, "from
our great feet having relieved US of
the duty of maintaining an army
proportionate in strength to itself, it
is precisely the fleet and nothing else
which, by enabling Great Britain to
use such force, has imposed upon
her the burden of creating it."

Ginger, Facing Gallows, May Get S tay.

Ginger, Facing Glllows, May Get S tay.
The following further ioformatio
relative TO the attemp. to save A.
Ginger, formerly of Ruebens, tn
county, from the gallows in Canada
comes through the Boise Capita
| News:
The wheels of justice were pu
into motion by Governor Nose
Alexander today in the hope of sa,
ing Albert L Ginger from the noos
in Canada, or, at least, in sscurin
, a stay of execution of the death sen
tence until thorough investigation
can be made to determine if there i
not possibility that Ginger,
former Idaho resident, may MT b
innocent, as he claims he is. Thu
governor wrote the secretary of state
of the United States re questing al
investigation if he deems it advisable
and to take such action as the de-
partment thinks necessary with the
Canadian officials Governor Alex
ander was asked to intercede on be-
half of Ginger by residents of Rue
bens, Idaho, where Ginger lived be-
fore going to Canada.
So far as is known this is the first
time the chief ex ecutive of the state
of Idaho has been asked to intercede
on behalf of former resident con-
dem ned to death a foreign coun-
try. The story of Ginger appears
to indicate there may be room for
reasonable doubt as to his gull
Idaho's chief executive merely W hts
to see justice done and in writing 10
the secretary of state he only re-
quests that department inves iga-
lion be had.
While all of the details in connec-
ion with the alleged murder Ginger
S said to have committed at Kan
oops, British Columbia, are lacking
some of them are in possession
If the governor. He was re-
emily accused of numbering his COM
,anion, whose name is not known
lere, convicted and sentenced to be
ranged at Kamloops, Dec. %.
1t seems that Ginger, a young
nan, had, but a short time b fore
lis companion was killed, left Idaho
md gone to Kamloops. There he
ell in with the man the Canadian
says he murdered in
old blood Ginger says there was
ever any bad feeling between them
nd that his companions death was /
ue entirely to accident. His story |
5 to the effect that he was on such |
liendly terms with his companion
hat he had loaned him considerable |
,oney; that they planned trip
cross country from Kamloops and
e loaned his companion money to
lake part payment on the team
hey used and to secure the balance
the payment on which the owner
'ok mortgage.
Some distance from Kamloops,
finger says, they stopped to camp
'r the night, but as he was getting
1T of the wagon the gun he was
arrying accidentally discharged
nd killed his companion. Realiz-
e he was stranger in strange
md, Ginger feared for his own
afety because of the action the
might take and attempted
make his escape. He says he
rst delivered the team back to the
an it was purchased from, thereby
leasing the mortgage. Then he
led to get out of the country; the
ling was discovered and he was
rested and accused of murder. In
S conviction his attempted escape
.oved to be damaging. There were
} witnesses to the crime. Unless
Ie United States authorities inter-
re Ginger will be hanged by the
anadian authorities.

Taxation of Municipnl Securities


f the partial segregation plan of tax reform
be adopted in substance at the coming
special session Of the General Assembly as
now appears probable, municipal securities
Will become exempt, automatically and with
other intangible property, from the tax levies
OF counties, cities and towns. That is very
desirable consideration.
The report of the committee on tax reyi-
sion says that Sin twenty-four States such
securities are entirely exempt from taxation,
and these States embrace forty-onc of the
principal American Cities Perhaps it would
be wise If it were legally possible. to follow
the example the twenty-four States have SET
but the Constitution Of Virginia provides that
all property shall be taxed, and exceptions are
not permitted.
1t is possible, however, to limit the amount
of taxation, and the committee, as to munich
pal securities, recommends the existing State
rate of 35 cents per 500. This is urged as
general proposition and without regard to
the adoption or rejection of the segregation
plan. The thought is that, If the commission
plan be favored, municipal securities may be
freed from county and city taxation by legis-
lative act.
Virginia municipalities are accustomed to
exempt their own bonds from their own taxa
ton, but they are subject to taxation in other
localities where they may be held and, of
course, by the State. "The result" the re-
port says, SIS that the Commonwealth affords
a poor market for securities of it's own mu-
inequalities and, consequently. great part
OF them have to be disposed of in other States.
This naturally causes a higher rate of interest
than would otherwise be necessary, and de-
prves the government of all revenue what
soever from securities disposed Of Thus
the attempt to raise revenue from them at
the current local rates defeats it's own pur-
pose, at the same time that it greatly hampers
the praiseworthy policies of many progressive
localities"
That is just and restrained statement of
the fact. II Virginia municipal securities
could be purchased by Virginians without
becoming subject to prohibitive tax, the
market for such bonds would be greatly en-
largcd and their rates OF interest would not
nave to be so high Money for needed public
improvements might be obtained at home at
least in larger part. That there is no homo
market, furthermore, does not add to such
securities reputation abroad at the best it
requires detailed explanation
This is one tax reform that should not be
overlooked.

\ JOb-HOlding Contrast

DRESIDENT YUAN Sill IAI Of China has
secured the passage Of an act by the
National Assembly OF his honorable country
that assures him the presidency for life and
allows him to nominate his successor. He
has also restored the worship of Heaven as
OF old, and there goes your glittering republic
Of the Orient, with the chief job holder SO
tightly situated in the saddle that he cannot
be bucked off by anything short of revolution
step from the Orient into the full light of
civilization which shines so efulgently on
Hammonton, n. j., and there behold Richard
Seey the town clerk--the Yuan Shi Kai Of
his burg in the Occident Seely is such a
rafting good clerk that all his felowtowns-
men decided to raise his salary from $500 to
Si0O per annum Seey objected He de-
clared that it was rank extravaganza Mod
estiY admitting that he had done right we'll
he, nevertheless, maintained that the tax
payers couldn't stand the raise. Then the
committee, composed Of first class business
men, said that if the town couldn't nav if
out OF the taxes they would make up the diff
terence out of their own pockets Did Secly
leap to this happy compromise? He did not
lie buried himself in the tones of the city
archives for days and days. until he dug ont
an ancient law that expressly forbid anv such
proceeding. And so he goes happily on at
his old wages, and none dare raise him with
out incurring the penalty of the law
There You have beautiful contrast bo
tween the Yuan Shi Kai OF China and the
Yuan Shi kai of Iammonton Could his
tory produce finer example Of altruism
more splendid example OF the Occidental
conscience III full play, to shame the willy
schemer Of China? And when Yuan Shi Kai
hears of it, will he recall his graft of per
petuity and submit himself to the block in
restitution?
