the act of annexation was "the most
unjust act recorded in history,'' and
demanded his passports.
Though it was evident that state
of war existed by inference, several
weeks elapsed before actual engage
ments occurred between the Amrican
army of occupation and the Mexicans
resolved upon making resistance. After
some skirmishing, following the attack
made in April upon General Taylor's
men near Matamoras, the first real en-
gagement Of the war was fought May 8.
1916, at PalO Alto. War was declared
formally by the American governments
only five days later, though the conflict
between the opposing armies had been
seriously raging constantly in the in
te,val.
The Mexican war came to an end
with the victorious entry Of General
Scott into the City of Mexico Septem.
Der IA, 1S47. Peace was signed Febru-
airy 2, 1S4S. Under its terms Mexico
ceded the provinces of New Mexico and
California and gave up all claim to
Texas, the Rio Grande being established
as the southern boundary of the United
States. This little essay in war cost
Uncle Sam $156,00O,00O in actual ex-
penses, to say nothing OF pensions, and
besides $4,000, 600 paid Mexico for the
ceded provinces. The loss of life on
the American side was estimated at

DRY FARMING A
FAILURE THIS YEAR

Alexander Younie, the venerable pres
ident of the First National Bank of
Blackfoot, has just returned from an ex-
tensive trip over the Lost River coun-
try and the bench lands of the north.
He reports that the dry land crops on
the desert, with but few exceptions, are
total failures, but those in the vicinity
Of st. Anthony are very promising
He says that the bountiful crops of
Turkey Red wheat of the past few years
on the dry lands Of the State are trans.
formed into dense growths Of wild mus
tard that will be a -nenace to these
lands for many years. He relates that
on the farm on which he was raised in
Quebec, Canada, they have been pull
ing wild mustard for the past sixty
five years, and have not yet got through
exterminating this destructive weed.

BOISE PUBLIC BUILDING
WILL NOT BE ENLARGED

Washington, July 1O.-The omnibus
public building bill to be reported to
the House Saturday will appropriate
$4,000 for public building at Black.
foot and will increase the appropriation
for the Couer d'Alene building from
$4,000 to an aggregate of $4,000.
The latter increase is made to accom-.
modate the federal court, forest service
and local land office, as well as the
postoffice.
Representative Smith made strong
plea for an appropriation to double
the public building at Boise, and to
purchase the Collister Flats in order to
afford ample ground, but the Democrats
of the committee turned him down,
saying Boise can manage to get along
for while with present quarters.

RICH WILL HAVE TO PAY
COST IF THERE Is WAR

Washington, July 3.-If the common
people must furnish the soldiers, let
the rich pay the cost Of war. On this
political theory, Democratic members of
the ways and means committee have
framed revenue bill and introduced it
to meet the tremendous Outlays for
the military and naval budgets. It is
calculated to raise $21O,0OO,0OO national
revenue from income, inheritance and
munitions taxes.
The country wide demand for pre-
paredness has resulted in an epoch
making change in the financial system
of the country-the establishment of
an inheritance tax. Democratic leaders
said today that preparedness" will
carry through with it system of stiff
"death duties'' that in normal times
might precipitate fight lasting years.
"I fought this preparedness hysteria
to the last ditch" declared the Demo
cratic leader today, "but it has one
blessing in it's wake. 1t will die with
the European war, but inheritance taxes
will remain forever.'
The income tax changes lay a normal
tax of per cent with the following ad-
ditional super taxes:
One per cent on incomes from $2O,
600 to $4,000; per cent from $40, 900
to $60,O00; 3 per cent from 100000 to
$4,000; per cent from $4,000 to
$1OO,0O0; per cent from 100000 to
$150,0O0; 6 per cent from $150,000 to
100000; per cent from 100000 to
$250,OO0; per cent from $250,000 to
100000; 9 per cent from 100000 to
100000; and 10 per cent for incomes
over $50O,OO0.'

as an "estate tax" lays per cent on
