FORESTRY SERVICE OF
VALUE TO FARMERS

Very few realize the aid which
the local forestry department can
and Will be glad to afford the
farmers of this vicinity in the way
of supplying them with informa-
ton. The forestry service is
under the agricultural department
of the United States government
and is furnished with and keep on
file every publication issued by
that department.
The department has experiment
stations, presided over by experts,
in which all kinds of experiments
relating to agriculture are car
ried on. Bulletins giving the re-
suits of these experiments are
published by the government and
the local forestry department re-
.ceives copies of all of these bull
letins as soon as they are issued.
These are kept on file and are
carefully indexed and anyone de-
sirous of obtaining any facts from
them can do so by calling at the
forestry office.
In addition to the matter is
sued by the agricultural depart
ment, the Office has a complete
index of every available document
issued by the United States gov
eminent and can give informa-
ton as to where and how it can
be procured.
In addition to the documents
on file the Office has accurate
maps Of the Occur d'AIene dis
trict, the st. Joe district and the
Clearwater district and the ad-
jacent territory, making COM

When a child receiving compen-

years the compensation ceases.
This is also true when the wild
ow marries again. Medical aid
to the injured is also provided
together with nurses, etc.
The industry is made to bear
the burden of the expense and
compensation and the board is
given power to assess the indus
tries. One-fOurth of this as
sessment IS made payable on Jan.
1, 1913, into the accident fund.
The employees pay in one cent a
day from their earnings to meet
medical expenses. All assess
ments are rated from the payroll
of the employers.
Penalties are provided for vio-
lation of the terms of the act and
places classed as unsafe for en-
ployment cannot be maintained.
1t is understood that a second
workmen's compensation bill will

that third is being prepared by
a joint caucus committee of the
Legislative majority and will be

Uniform Assessment
Plan For State
ASSESSORS OF STATE MEET AT BOISE
Will Consider Matter In Connection With State
Board OF Equalization

County Assessor C. r. Reynolds
left Saturday evening for Boise
to attend a meeting of the coun-
ty assessors of the state which
has been called for this week i'm
that city. The meeting was called
for the purpose of securing a
uniform assessment for the state.
ut is proposed to have the asses
sors meet with the state board of
equalization and the entire ques-
tion of values of property will he
discussed and if possible a uni
form basis for all classes of prop
erty in the state will be adopted.
The project was first proposed
by the assessor of Ada county who
took the question up with the
other county assessors of the
state. After hearing favorably
from a majority of them he
brought the question to the at
tention of Governor Alexander
and submitted the correspond
ence to him.
After going over the matter
carefully the governor was of the
opinion that much good could be
derived from a meeting of this
kind and issued the call. II was
decided to hold the meeting at an
early date as possible so that a
uniform basis could be agreed
upon before the assessors start
ed their work.
1t was also considered a good
plan to have the meeting while
the legislature was in session i'm
order to give the assessors an
opportunity to pass upon some
of the proposed changes to the
assessment laws which are en-
bodied in bills now before the
legislature.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
Is UNDER FIRE

A resolution asking the repeal
of the public utilities law and the
doing away with the commission
was introduced and discussed at
the State Federation OF Labor
convention.
The resolution, which was
lengthy one, was introduced by
the two delegates from the poca-
tello Central Labor Union, and its
closing paragraph was as follows.
1--WE, believing the actions of
the utilities commission have re-
suited i'm sitting honest competi-
ton, thus compelling the paying
lof enormous rates for the power
produced by water power of the
state, demand Of the present leg
islature, i'm the interests of the
over-burdened taxpayer, the re-
peal of the utilities law so as to
save the large appropriation
made for this commission and
permit The people to install their
own plants so they may get the
current at cost without paying a
tribute of 5000 per cent about a
good profit on an honest invest
ment to foreign corporations, as
now compelled to do"
The resolution stated that the
rulings of the public utilities
commission had been for the cor
lporations and not for the people.
The resolution was discussed
pro and con for some time, an
amendment having been made to
it, which provided that more pow
err be given the commission that
is might be informed of facts
concerning the investments Of
corporations and thus be able to
render more service to the pub
lie.
A. L. Freehafer and John w.
Graham, of the public utilities
commission, were invited before
the state federation and dis
cussed :he resolution. They de-
MED some of the charges made
therein, and explained something
of what the commission was do
ing and attempting to do.
Mr.. Ryan of Weiser, father of
the bill creating the commission
was also present and spoke in be-
half of the commission.
