ANNIsTON

Anniston, March 1o.-(Special. .)-After eight days of oblivion. during which time he had his time divided between two hospitals and the county jail, J. F. Pruett became conscious late last night, and found himself in bed at St. Luke's hos pital with his mother at his bedside, holding his hand.
 This morning he told a representative of the Star that his mind was a blank since he finished his shopping in Bir- mingham week ago last Thursday and City, where he was engaged in some construction work. He did not know how he got to Anniston, did not recall being sent to Sellers hospital, did not recall writing the letters te his parents that were found in his pocket could not remember having been transferred from Sellers to the jail, nor of his few hours in jail and subsequent removal to St. Luke's.
 An Anniston man, Capt. Hamilton Bowie, was in charge of the squadron of cavalrymen from the Thirteenth reg iment that drove the Mexicans out of Columbus. N. NJ, after a fierce battle lasting an hour and a half. The fierce ness of the battle may be judged by the fact that out of less than 100 men on the American side there were F casual ties, five soldiers being killed and seven being wounded, according to wire re- ceived by Judge John M. Bowie of this city, father of the cavalry officer

DAVIS PLAN
NOT. FEASIBLE
Republican Candidate Said to
be Promising Things He
Cannot Fulfll--HiS Plan is
Faulty.

Boise, October 23.-D. w.
Davis, republican nominee for
governor, is making his campaign
upon promise to create a "tax-
less" state. This he says he
will do through the rapid sale of
all state lands and the investment
at compound interest of the
money received therefrom, which
he figures out in the source of 40
or so years will produce a fund
the interest from which will be
sufficient to pay all expenses of
state, county, municipal and
other local government without
the necessity of levy ng any tax
of any nature.
The scheme itself is that of q
visionary, hence none but a
dreamer and an impractical man
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1916-10-27

would ever seriously advocate
any such plan. 1t is sufficient to
know that Idaho does not own
one acre of land and it therefore
has no land to sell.
The land which is commonly
called state lands" which are
the lands which Candidate Davis
proposes to sell, are not the lands
of the state but they belong to
the government given to the state
to hold in trust for the use and
benefit of specifically named in
situations for the education of
the children of the state and for
the care of its unfortunate.
Sections 16 and Sc in every
township of the state are granted
to the state for the support of
the common schools; so sections
of land are granted for the pur-
pose of erecting public buildings
at the capital; u sections are
given for the university; 100, 900
acres are given for the establish
ment and maintenance of the
scientific school; 100000 acres
for the state normal schools; 3d.
900 acres for the support and
maintenance of the Insane Asy-
lum at Blackfoot; 80, 900 acres for
the agricultural college; $4,000
acres for the maintenance of the
penitentiary; $4,000 additional

acres for the support and main
lance of the university, and
$50, 900 acres for the other
state, charitable, educational,
penal and reformatory instjtu-
TONS"
These lands are held by the
state as a trustee for the express
trust, use and benefit of the in
situations named in the grant.
The gift is not a gift outright
but conditional gift with spe-
cific conditions attached which
conditions must necessarily be
complied with. The condition
attached to these lands is that
they may be sold only for the
purpose of obtaining funds, the
interest from which must go 10
the maintenance of the institu
tons mentioned as benefciaries
in the grant. So fully protected
are these funds that it is made
the imperative duty of the legis-
lature of the state to reimburse
any fund that may suffer from
loss so that the principal may
never decrease and only the in
terest may only be used for the
specific purpose mentioned.
What D. w. Davis is then pro
posing to do is to violate the
trust imposed in the state O
Idaho by the national govern
ment and take these lands with
out authority of law from thu
institutions for whose use an(
benefit they are given and to ap
ply the interest from the pro
ceeds to the general expenses o
government.
He proposes to take the amour
given to the university; to tn
agricultural college; to the nor
NAL schools; to the insane asy
ium; to the reformatory school
and to the public school system
of the state of Idaho and use tn

interest derived from the sale of
these lands in paving salaries at
the state capitol in Boise; to
maintain the police force in cities
and throughout the state and in
general for a thousand and one
expenses that go to make up the
cost of government in state
like Idaho.
This is an impracticable, dis
honest and impossible thing to
do; therefore Davis must become
an impossible and impracticab!e
candidate. Waving aside those
impossible things, every thought
full citizen of the state knows
that an over-fat fund may con-
tinue to be, as heretofore proven,
unsafe in the hands of public
officials. But waving aside the
inability and incompetent officials
to handle such a vast sum and
the probable dishonesty among
officials, still it must impress it.
self upon the mind of every
thoughtful person that to make
a taxless state by any such
scheme means to exempt the
wealthy from any share in the
burden of government and to i'm
pose such burden wholly upo1
those who are compelled tt
borrow.
1t is the interest from the in
vestment of this money that Mr.
Davis proposes to use for the ex
penses of government. Interes
is paid only by those who borrow
money, hence by the poor alone
and none of the great corpora
tions, not a man with vast wealth
or others with Independent
means able to live and conduc
their business and support them
selves without aid would have t.
contribute one cent toward tn
cost and burden of the govern
ment.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1916-10-27

This constitutes reversal OF
the cardinal principles of Ameri-
can government, which is that
t he burden Of govern
ment should be borne by those
best able to bear it in considera-
ton of the greater protection
which they receive at the hands
of the state.
The plan suggested by Mr..
Davis has so many elements OF
weakness in it that even the more
thoughtful of those who are sup
porting him apologize for him be-
cause of it.
In order to give any credence
whatever to his plan, it must be
first supposed that real estate is
an investment that should not be
made, for if it is so proftless to
the state, it must likewise be
proftless to the purchaser. If
this scheme is just and good fol
the state, it would be good
scheme for every individual tC
adopt and the result would be
that no man would ever purchase
or own any real estate. In short
there is but one conclusion to
reach and that is that no mar
who seriously advocates such ar
impractical plan can be con
sidered safe in the Office of chic
executive of the state even in 81
small a state as Idaho.

ROUND MOUNTAIN HYDRAULIC
SEASON CLOSED AND PLANS
ARRANGED FOR NEXT YEAH

The hydraulic season at Round
Mountain is at an end, owing to
exhaustion of the supply of water.
President L. d. Gordon states that
the Round Mountain Mining company
is now handling about 1000 yards of
gravel week by sluicing The
gravel is conveyed by scrapers and
teams to a trap through which 1t is
dumped from an overhead roadway
into the head of the boxes. There
Is an endless procession of these ore
conveyances. Last weeks cleanup
averaged $3.50 ton profit, even
after taking out the overhead costs.
Electric lights are installed and two
shifts are employed. This method ol
operation will be continued until the
gravel freezes, which will probably be
two months hence.

Boston and Butte Capital
Invest Heavily in TOnOpah

Boston and Butte capital has taken
hold OF an area embracing 700 acres
on the western end of the Tonopah
district situated between the Great
Western and Bonanza holdings. This
deal is specially significant in view
of the fact that neither Butte nor
Boston has even manifested the
slightest interest in Tonopah, and the
entry of millionaire copper interests
means that a new era is about to
dawn on the camp. The men repre-
sented by this Investment include a
coterie of capitalists who hitherto
have confined their operations to the
copper mines in which they established
themselves as leaders both from the
speculative and operating end.
The new company will be known as
the Tonopah Western Consolidated
and will be officered by F. Ward
Paine, of Paine & Webber, New York,
as president; Oscar Rohn, of the East

to develop the Ruby group.
