JUSTICE OF PRESENT SYSTEM OF
MINE TAXATION.


We have heard of no attempt to
change the system of taxing mining
companies on the basis of net profit
since the Idaho legislature convened
and therefore assume that no move
will be made in that direction during
this session. But 1t is known that a
considerable element Of the popula-
ton of Idaho is not satisfied with the
present law and is continually plant
ing the seeds of dssension in the
hope of eventually developing suffi-
cient opposition to change the law
and make the valuation of mines the
basis of assessment Under the pres
ent law mining companies pay taxes
on all real estate and improvements
just the same as other companies and
individuals, and in addition they pay
the same rate on their net profits. In
order to arrive at the profits every
productive company is required to file
sworn statement with the county
assessor covering all details of opera
tons during the year and showing
the actual profit or loss. 1t must be
obvious to anyone who gives serious
thought to the subject that 1t is i'm
possible to determine the value of a
mine as a basis of taxation, and the
further fact that the very nature of
mining is such that the values are
being steadily depleted and that It is
only a question of time until they are
totally exhausted. Under these cir
cumstances the plan of taxing net
Profits Seems to be the fairest that
can be devised.
Over in Montana, where the system
of taxing mining companies is similar
to that in Idaho, determined effort
is being made to repeal the net profit
law and assess the mines direct. That
such a change would prove ruinous to
the greatest industry of the state and
prevent the investment of capital in
the development of new mines is so
apparent that it is strange that rep
resentatives of great commonwealth
would give it serious consideration.
The people of the mining sections are
very much concerned over the pro-
posed change in the law and are
bringing every pressure to bear to
avert this disastrous legislation. The
mining companies are making a
showing of their operations in Mon |
tana which should be a revelation to
those who seem TO see nothing in the
mining industry but large dividends

JAPANESE SHIPS
MAY AID IN War

Bearing out the story published in
the Star-Bulletin last week, Assoclat-
ed Press dispatches reaching Homo
lulu last night say that the United
States government Is now negouat-
ing with Japan for the transfer TO At
lantic waters from the Pacific OF
enough merchant shipping to relieve
the great freight congestion which Is
developing, with many American
ships being tied up for government
purposes and the British shipping be-
ing employed in the transportation OF
its own and its allies supplies.
1t is said that the Japanese could
spare enough ships to handle two mil
lion tons on the Atlantic without seri-
ously interfering with their own trans
portation business on the Pacific.
Great Britain is said to be partic-
uIarly anxious that the efforts of the
United States with Japan be success
full, as this will release still more Brit
ish bottoms for necessary war work.
So far as Honolulu is concerned.
taking off tramp steamers will not hit
this port greatly. AS a matter OF
fact, the number of Japanese "tramps"
calling here is now practically nil,
where six months ago 1t was quite
large. Their cutting out this port is
believed due to the big money obtain
able by carrying cargoes direct from
Japan to Pacific coast ports, via the
great circle route from Yokohama.

houses at the annual meeting Of the
board OF liquor license commissioners

ganiEstion this year has no definite
cases against any particular saloons
or Wholesale houses that would war
rant o fight against the issuance Of

Pacific Sailors
May Be Insured

Local seafaring men are interested
in the news received last night from
the Associated Press concerning in
surance of officers and men Of Amer.
lean merchant vessels plying from
American ports through the war zone
to Europe.
If the desires Of John J. Crowley, in
charge OF the seamen's division on
war risks, are carried out, 1t is pos
sible that sailors and officers OF
American lines calling here, such as
the Matson, Oceanic, Pacific Mail and
China Mail, will also be insured.
Crowley wants the regulations broad
ened so as to extend them to cover
vessels trading between coastwise
ports and other ports that are out
side of the war zone.
Last nights despatch says Secre-
tary McAdoo yesterday issued regu-
lations that will require the owners
Of all American ships operating in the
war zone to insure the officers and
men Of such ships against death,
manning or capture. Insurance on Of
ficers is to be in amounts varying
from $3.50 to $4,000, according to tho
officers grade.
These new insurance regulations
are to go into effect as to vessels in
American ports on June &c and as to
vessels in foreign ports on July 10.

instantaneous Hot Water.

The "thermo-faucet" is the name
of new invention designed to
bring a supply of hot water from the
most stubbornly cold spigot within a
few seconds. 1t is a 660-watt cleo
trio heater which is readily at
tached to the plumbing piping, and
when connected with the nearest cleo
tric lighting outlet heats the water in
the faucet to the boiling point three
seconds after the current is turned on.
The water coming through this heater
is pure, we are told, and may there
fore be used "where ordinary tank wa
ter would not be sufficiently sanitary"
Hence it should prove boon to doc
tors, dentists, trained nurses, confec-
TONERS, as we'll as to the long-suffer-
ing male who prefers but seldom gets
hot water for his shave.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root, Dr.. Kilmer'S PreScrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
altering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
srcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence Of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. It
is DIR. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

Build Vast Artificial Lake.

A remarkable engineering feat was
recently accomplished in southern
India when the mammoth artificial
lake of Marikanave was completed in
Mysore-an Indian state twice as
large as Maryland, ruled by an en-
lightened and progressive maharaja. 1t
is Is miles long and has an area of 30
square miles. The dam thrown across
the gorge-24O feet wide-to impound
water that formerly ran to waste and
is now being utilized for irrigating
land that would be otherwise parched
and barren, is l, $50 feet long, 1872 feet
high, and Is feet thick. A weir 40
feet long has been built to discharge
excess water, which, during the mon
soon is heavy. The work was initiat-
ed and finished by Indian engineers
and is a monument to their engineer
ing skill, as it is a credit to the gov
eminent of his highness, the maharaja,
who furnished the money for it-$1,-
100000.
