MAKE YOUR OWN GAS
0LINE NOW
A Pail of Water, a doc" En-
RIGHTS Powder, Crank Up
and Go

Exhume the flivver, laid up since
gasoline outstripped champagne in
price, fill up the tank with water from
the faucet, drop in one of old Doctor
Enricht's mysterious powders and
turn the crank. Then drive up and
down before the nearest fuel station
making faces at the manager.
This is not the beginning of a
motorists delirium, induced by the old
spring fret and the latest quotation on
gasoline. 1t is what Enricht, Ger
man chemist of Farmingdale, N. Y,
says is going to happen almost i'm
mediately- just as soon as his plans
are perfected Louis Enricht is sure
he can run car on pure cold water,
to which has been added a small
quantity of a compound he has invent
ed. What is more, Louis Enricht
says he has run a car by this means.
His compound, added to water, makes,
he insits, liquid as stable as gaso-
line, but more highly explosive.
For years the chemist has been
working with the dream in his mind.
Today he believes his experiments
have at last achieved success, and he
has made a discovery which will give
to the world its greatest revolution in
transportation.
Little was known about the man un-
til Tuesday, when DR.. William b.
Gibson of Huntington, N. Y, who has
been interested in his work, brought
New York chemist to Farmingdale to
watch a test of the Enricht invention.
An ordinary runabout was used; the
gas tank was emptied and inspected;
the engine was examined by garage
man and pronounced unaltered in any
way. Then the tank was filled with
water, poured in from an ordinary
garden hose and small amount Of
powder was dissolved in it. An
electrode connected with two dry bat
teries was then placed in the solution
and the car was cranked up.
The engine popped Justify and the
car moved off. 1t was run four miles
before the test was completed.
81 have run my two cars for the last
three MONTHS" Mr.. Enricht says, land
in that time l have not bought drop
of gasoline. l have found how to do
what chemists have been dreaming OF
for wears. l have discovered form
ula which will enable me to get hy-
drogen simply and easily from water
and explode it without any danger or
difficulty"

worse. Our assessors are elected, and
hence political favoritism in assess
ments is almost impossible to elimi-
mate. This favoritism is not confined
TO individuals but is extended to the
point of reducing the total county as
sesement, by fair means or foul, to
the lowest possible point in order to
avoid as much as may be of the state
tax. Added to this, the term is short
and reelection by no means common
enough to make trained men the rule.
And supervising these men what co
we find? Omitting from consider
alton the county boards of equaliza-
ton, whose work is often far from
easy or satisfactory, we find that the
constitution has created State Board
oc Equalization-a board of ex-officio,
elective men, not trained in matters
of taxation. able to devote but a few
short weeks to their task of equaliz-
ing the tax burden. The consequence
is t hat political considerations are
made foremost, and the job so huge
that efficiency would be out of the
question under any circumstances.
In addition to these very serious
difficulties, we have a legislature
meeting every two years for period
of sixty days. Not infrequently the
houses are at loggerheads with the
governor and at times even with each
other. In a body where partisan
strife is always present, which is
trying to do perfectly huge task in
the short period of sixty days, and
with no experts to advise them IN
the very complicated field of taxation,
it is mere good fortune that the tax
laws of Idaho are as good as they are.
The state will not have satisfactory
tax laws, well administered, until such
time as the constitution is amended
so as to create an appointive Tax
Commission, with a long term of
office, and with very real power. The
objections to such plan will be con-
sidered in a subsequent article.

Gem County Loses by Audit

AS a result of the audit of the books

IDAHO'S FINANCIAL SYSTEM
University Professor Points Out Its
Weaknesses and Suggests Remedy

1t was pointed out in a previous
article of this series that the funda-
metal difficulty with the financial
situation in Idaho rests with the fact
that our system of accounting and
reporting is such that data in under
standable form are almost impossible
to secure and at times information OF
any sort is out of the question. We
believe that second only to this diff
Guilty is another-lack of response
bility. The lack manifests itself in
a number of ways and at every mani
festation the result is the same
wasted funds and misdirected effort.
These consequences are not the fault
of any individual or political party
they are inherent in the system. Only
thru concentration and Capitalization
can the greatest efficiency be obtained.
Take, for example, the Office of gov
ernor. A man will be elected this fall
to hold this important position for
two wears. We will hold him person.
alIy responsible for the administration
during that time. Yet our constitu-
ton makes it impossible for him to
control the affairs of state, for it re-
ouires that at the same time there be
chosen certain other officials (as sec

FORTH. Nominated, nominally at
least, without the expressed approval
of the candidate for governor, and re-
movable only by impeachment, they
may perform any number of acts that
do not require his sanction and yet
which may ruin his entire policy.
During the present administration
these officials have not even been of
the same political party as the gov
ernor. 1t is little wonder, therefore,
that the greatest efficiency is not
attained.
In the more immediate matter OF
raising revenue, the situation is even !

NEW WHEAT is SOLD

Portland, Or, July 20.-The first
sale of 1916 wheat was posted at the
Merchants Exchange yesterday. Tel
thousand bushels of September forty
fold were sold at 90 cents. A loca
exporter was the seller and Califor
MIA mill buyer the purchaser.
The price paid for this fortyfold was
cents over Tuesdays best bid, and
offers for other kinds of new wheat
were also raised, September bids being
as follows: Bluestem, 81 cents; club
SO cents; fife, IS cents, and Russian
81 cents. Old wheat bids were irreg
nlar, from | cent higher to 2 cents
lower.
In the opinion of local traders, tn,
prices now quoted on new wheat vii
have to be revised on a lower basis
before there can be much activity, al
values nere are figured to be q or
cents over a parity with Eastern mar
kets. The parity must be restored
when wheat begins to move in volume
to the usual export outlets.
Ii is usual at the opening of the
season for prices TO get well above
the export basis until initial home re
quirements are satisfied. This yeai
firm holding by farmers is an influen
tial factor. as a number of mills have
