present system for the support of

enth year we would have as large a
permanent interest bearing fund as
will accrue in one hundred years
under the present system. BY adopt
ing the plan advocated by Mr.. Davis
Idaho can be as far on the road to
taxless state in eleven years as she
will be in one hundred years by fol-
lowing the present system. The max
ing of taxless state of Idaho is
not an idle dream. Is it not good

DEMOCRATS WANT
TARIFF PROTECTION

Washington, D. c., March 4.-"Ons
of the best arguments for the Repub-
lican protective tariff policy has
been furnished by the Democratic
party"
This comment was made today by
Representative Charles B. Timberlake
Of Colorado on the recent action of
the Democratic caucus pledging sup
port to the bill for retaining the
present duty on sugar.
I'm the first place, this proposal to
maintain the present sugar tax is
am admission by the Democrats of
the financial failure of their ad-
ministration," said Mr.. Timberlake.
Confronted by an increasing
deficit in the treasury, and at their
wits end how to meet it, they are
forced to recognize Republican prin-
oiple to prevent further annual loss
of about 10000, 900 in revenue.
Furthermore, the secondary effect
of the Democratic reduction of about
so cents per hundred pounds in the
sugar duty constitutes another adj
mission of failure. When the Demo
Gratis advocated free sugar, they
claimed that the price of sugar to
the consumer would be reduced in
to the reduction in duty.
But what are the facts?
'.The partial reduction in the sugar
duty wiped out the cane sugar in
dustry of the United States 1t par
tally destroyed the beet sugar IN
dustry and completely blocked its
further. development. 1t conferred
benefit upon, the sugar industry in
foreign countries. 1t reduced the an
nual customs revenues about ten
millions. At the same time the price
of, sugar in America has remained
practically the same.

In short, this one Item in the
Democratic tariff law has reduced
our reyenues, tremendously damaged
American industry, aided foreign
competitors, and has been of no bene-
fit whatever to American consumers.
1T is not surprising that individual
Democrats in the recent caucus re-
fused to abide by its decision be-

THE ANNUAL AGITATION

And this leads up to the subject
of water. Now water is not dry
subject, neither is it an overly pleas
ant one, when there is water, water,
everywhere and not a drop to drink, !"
as happens to be our unfortunate pre-
dicament. Some years ago Payette
secured at considerable expense a
system of municipal waterworks that
was believed at the time to be ade-
quate to the demands of the city
for years to come, so far as the
supply was concerned That is to
say that the city will have plenty of
water so long as the Payette river
holds out and the water is clear
enough to run through the city mains
and pipes, but while our intentions
were good we overlooked one i'm
portant fact-that there are certain
seasons of the year when the Pay
cite river is anything but the pure,
crystal stream that We love to look
upon and talk about During periods
of high-water, when the snow begins
to melt and the mountain tributaries
are pouring their floods into the river
the stream becomes the scavenger for
q large section of country, the city
water becomes unfit for domestic
purposes and the people begin to
condemn the city council and COM
mercial club and to look around for
somebody who is responsible for the
condition of things, when
IN fact they are themselves wholly

Now the question is coming up
again, the agitation reached the

meeting and was taken up by unani-

so he dared. willing TO die for his knowl-
edge. Peary. Shackleton, the airship and
submarine inventors-all have followed
TO take q chance.
So, you see. the new woman Is In
reality very old An centuries come and
60 she develops new aims and ideas, but
she remains essentially the same. She has
always been actuated by the desire TO
make the world better place to live in.
AT the present time the new woman be-
lieves that some Of the old institutions,
which were adequate for their day, have
become archaic. She has set her mind
on removing them-painlessly II possible
She will not believe, for instance. that
womans place Is the home. In fact,
she'll not believe that home Is n At place
for her-until It has received It's place In
the Government. There's not much left
for her to do In the home. Much of her
food is canned In the factories and she
and the children have been called upon
to can II. Her clothes are made outside
the home and she has been forced into
the garment factories TO make them Her
domestic work has been so facilitated that
only the stupidest are content to be house
hold drudges.
In regard to selecting her husband the
first new woman's problem was simpler
than that of her modern sisters. There
was only one man, and so Eve made of
him what she wanted. Nowadays the
new woman, unless she lives in a coun-
try where men are scarce, doesn't bother
about making over a man for her own
particular needs. She knows a better
way than that of marrying a man to re-
form him. She deliberately picks out one
who doesn't need reforming. Enter
eugenics. It's really very, very old stuff,
you see.
I don't know about advising you to
marry a new woman. but I'll tell you this
much, Old School: If you get busy and
make of yourself the kind Of a man who
doesn't need reforming, perhaps you'll be
fortunate enough to have some charming
new woman pick you out and marry you.
How about it7 MLISS.

At the outset, Old School. let me tell

Tho first example OF Ewes incontest-
able superiority to man is TO be found In
Genesis. Told not to eat of the forbidden
fruit, Adam settled himself meath a
branchy bough to lead life Of ease and
useiessness. Eve. on the contrary. was
willing TO die for her knowledge. But
the spirit of uplift was strong within her,
as strong as her influence over the first
man. She wasn't going to be wiser than
Adam, her mate. without a doubt she
wanted to make a man of him. so that
he would be a worthy father of the race.

the ballot to woman. Doubtless Eve did
not get Adam to eat the apple right away,
either.
This historic action of the first new
woman has been attributed. In the minds
of some. to inquisitiveness. In reality
Eve was impelled by the scientific motives
that all discoverers since her day have
followed.
'If you eat of the tree of Knowledge
