The Idaho Road L0ws

Idaho has a good road law. 1t rec
ognized the fact that roads must b.
looked upon as parts of system, anC
provides for the administration of the
road business of the counties on that
basis. 1t recognizes the necessity Of
roads, and the economy of good roads
and specifically charges the county
commissioner with the duty of main
tanning not only roads," but good
roads.
Section S74A claws of 1911, page
16O says:
"The improvement of highways is
hereby declared to be the established
| and permanent policy of the State of
Idaho; and the duty is hereby i'm
posed upon the Boards of County Com
misioners in their respective coun-
ties of improving and maintaining
the public highways within their jur-
isdiction and of securing as rapidly
as the public revenues will permit
and of maintaining permanent good
roads of hard surface and properly
graded and available for convenient
travel thereon throughout the year"
Section S82A of the Revised Codes
provides that each county commits
sioner shall twice yearly visit and
inspect all the roads in the district
from which he was elected, that eachl
commissioner shall give to the several
road overseers in his district specific
instruction as to the work to be done
in their respective districts, that the
commissioners shall require overseers
to keep and maintain all the roads in
their several districts in good repair,
and that any commissioner who shall
wilfully or negligently fail to perform
any of the duties or requirements Of
the section shall be subject to a fine
of $500 to $4,000 to be recovered upon
his official bond by action brought
by the county attorney. BY law claws
of 1911, page 1879, the county commits
sioners are given exclusive supervis-
ion and jurisdiction over all the roads
in the county, and full authority to
construct, maintain, repair, and i'm
prove them.
Funds for the building and main
tanning of the county roads are pro-
Vidpd for nv SaotiOn 90 Of tho laws Of
1913 which puts upon the county. com
missioners the obligation of levying
annually a tax for general road pur-

and half mills, and specifying that
at least 25 per cent of the tax collect
ed from any road district shall be
spent in that district.

A special property road tax, Limited
to 21a mills, the income from which
can be spent only in the district il
which it is levied, is provided for in
Section 901 of the Laws of 1913. Such
special tax can be levied only when
a majority of the resident taxpayers
petition for it; and the imposition OF
such tax, even though a petition
for it is entered by a majority of the
resident taxpayers, is discretionary
with the board of county commission
ers. That 1.-THE special property road
tax is not an essential or integral
part of the highway system provided
for by the Act, is stated in Section
901.
Whenever the expense of construct
ing, maintaining or repairing road
would be an unreasonable burden on
the road fund, the commissioners are
authorized to take money for the
purpose from the current expense
fund, and to levy annually special
tax not exceeding one-half of one per
cent on all the taxable property of
the county until the amount taken
from the current expense fund is rails
ed and returned to it.
Common sense would dictate and
very obviously it is the intent of the
law that the county roads should be
administered as system-not by dis
trict
Obviously a road system of char
acter consistent with the needs of the
county and with it's ability to support
such system is to be provided for by
general property tax, for the COM
missioners are subject to fine if they
fail to keep the roads in good repair,
and no funds other than the general
property tax is controlled by them.
That special taxes are designed to
provide funds for road improvements
not essential to the county highway
system but of special benefit to the
residents of a district is evident from
the facts that only resident taxpayers
can initiate the levy of a special tax
and all the income from the special
tax must be spent in the district from
which it is derived

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The class OF
baseball this year as compared to the
game put up in 1914 and 1915, has
shown vast improvement, not Only
in the major leagues, but in the small
er organizations.
A prominent manager of the big
leagues, discussing this condition, to-
day declared it is due to the demise
Of the Federal leauge.
'The disorganizing effect of the Fed
eral league upon ballplayels of all
classes was remarkable" he declared.
ga good base ball player, unless he
was most conscientious, would not
give his best efforts a year ago. He
figured that any time he got dissat-
isfied with his place on a certain
club or if the manager of the club
threatened him, he could go to the
Federal league. This was, to GER
tain extent, true.
AS a result of this condition we
had loafing players who dragged their
play until the spectators were thor
oughly disguised. They wouldn't go
after a hard chance for they were
afraid they would make an error and
spoil their averages.
This year everything has changed.
The old competition has returned and
base ball has again assembled the pin
nacle it slipped from or from where
it was pushed by the Feds. The play
ers again are rustling and fans are
getting run for their money
Apparently this manager, who would
not allow the use of his name, knew
what he was talking about. Certain |
1t is that games have been played in |
quicker time this year than in the two |
ones and it is certain that |
base ball is enjoying prosperity in
The two big major leagues it hasn't
Known for two seasons.
The defeat of the Federal league
also has removed competition from the
NO major leagues and this has helped
well attendance. Also many touted
stars in the Federal league have taken
heir places among the American and
National league players and this has
