PORTNEUf COUNTY
BILL PASSED BY
A BIG MAJORITY
Only Seven Votes Cast
Against the Measure Pro
viding for the Division of
Bannock County.

The passage Of the Portneuf county
bill by the house of representatives
yesterday afternoon proved to be an
interesting chapter in the days leg
islative program, for this division
measure has been the center Of q well
defined fight in which not only men,
bers Of the regular assembly but of the
third house were working overtime
The fact that the measure survived by
q vote Of 81 to 7 indicates members
considered the proposed division OF
Bannock county as one with some merit
In It.
The house also passed the following
bills In the afternoon:
House bill No. 10, by Newport
Amending laws so federal farm loan
bonds may be handled.
House bill No. 4s, by Monson-Per-
hitting county commissioners to place
signs at cross roads.
House bill No. 70, by Sims--Placine
strict regulations on Carey act COM
panies and contracts entered into with
state; adding greater power to the
state land board.
The strong plea Of Representative
Richards of Bannock county for the
Portneuf county bill had much to DC
with It's passage. 1t was apparent that
many members of the house were In
doubt as to how to vote on the mea-
sure. That Representative Richards
changed many of these votes favor
ably toward the bill is conceded. He
set forth in his argument that the
Portneuf end of the county was en-
titled to separation not only because II
made q compact county but because OF
the reduction in taxes that would re-
suit by being divorced from the main
county wherein most of the heavy tax
is created. He quoted figures and sta
tistics at length, half seriously and hall
humorously. with the result the house
gradually warmed into the subject ano
gave him the closest attention.
Representative Lehrbas stated he
was confident from the advice he had
received that majority of the business
mon of Pocatello were not opposed &c
tho creation of the new county ano
would not stand in its way If 1t wish
cd to become separated from the OLD
county Representative Findiay oil

Professor Burrell. of London, says cigar
ashes contain 20 per cent Of potash and
to per cent of anhydrous phospho-
rus. Both Of these substances are ex-
ceedingly valuable fertilizers. 1t Is a
well known fact that tobacco exhausts
the soil more rapidly and deleteriously
than other crops. Why? Because 1t
takes from them these precious ele-
ments. essential to fertility. which usu =

MOST TERRIFIC BATTLE

Vienna, May 26 (via London, 1853
p.).-Violent fighting continued Fri

ficial statement issued tonight by the
Austro- Hungarian headquarters, and
the Italians have not broken through
the Austrian lines. The fighting was
heavy yesterday between PLAYA AMI
Gorilla as we'll as on the Carso.
The statement reads:
'The great battle in the southwest
continues. If the violence of the bat
tie on Wednesday and Thursday was
capable of increasing still more, this
happened yesterday. Never In the two
years of fighting just completed has
the heroic army had to face greater
efforts of the enemy than during
these days. The battle fields were
near PLAYA, near Vodice, and Monte
Santo and in the hilly country OF
Gorilla. Everywhere the enemy
stormed against our lines, at some
points two or three times. Again and
again his storming columns were shat
tered.
"A most formidable attack again
was directed against our positions on
the Carso. What our defenders had
to accomplish in this battle in re-
pulse and counter-attack belong to
history. In the extreme southern end
of the front the fighting for a small

Washington, May 26.-Proposals
for per cent tax on manufacturers
gross sales in many industries and for
greatly increased surtaxes on big in
comes were stricken out of the war
revenue bill today by the senate fl
nance committee, cutting down by
many millions the total revenue pro-
vided for as the measure passed the
house.
The manufacturers sales tax was
rejected bodily with the understand
ievies would be substituted later. After
refusing to accept the increased sur
taxes on incomes of more than $40,-
600 written into the bill during the
house debate, the committee approved
the remainder of the income tax
schedule virtually in the form in
which ii originally was drafted BY the
house ways and means committee.
The decision to throw ont the man
ufacturers' tax, which would have af-
fected producers of motor vehicles
and many forms of merchandise, was
prompted by a desire to eliminate the
flat tax imposed upon business gener-
ally and to distribute the levy more
equitably, the committeeman said.
The section was designed to raise
$11S. 100000 annually to be made up
in whole or part by other forms or
rates of taxation.
For the house tax on manufactur-
ers sales of motor vehicles the COM
mttee expects to substitute general
direct and graduated federal license
tax upon owners of motor vehicles. at
rates yet to be fixed based either
upon original selling cost or horse
POWER. The effect, 1t was said, will
be to transfer the tax burden from
the manufacturer to the owner. The
majority of the committee was said
to favor annual taxes of $40 to SIC
on motors. Trucks and vehicles used
for business purposes may be ex-
empted.

CENSORSHIP IN
M0D|F led FORM
NOW AGREED ON
Many Senators and Represen-
tatives Strongly Oppose
MuzzIe on Press; President
Not Consulted by Conferees


Washington, May 26.-Efforts of
the administration to secure enact
ment by congress of newspaper CEN
sorship legislation assumed a new.
and in the belief of some officials,
a more complicated form today
when senate and house conferees
agreed on new censorship section
for the espionage bill.
AS redrafted, the conferees' action
provides for prohibition by congress
OF the wilful publication of military
information useful to the enemy,
with authority for the president .nly
tc prescribe what information Of the
specific classes may be excepted.
Trial juries would be required to
determine whether publication Of
such information were wilful and
v neither the information actually
was of benefit to the enemy.
The conferees regarded the Sub
stitute as an extreme modification
of all previous censorship proposals,
but some senators and representa-
lives refused to accept that opinion,
President Wilson, the conferees said,
had not been consulted regarding it.
Some opponents of previous censor
ship proposals said they would op-
pose it vigorously.
The conferees agreed on several
other disputed sections Of the espion-
ngc measure. including those prOvid-
ing for export embargoes. extension
IT the use OF search warrants and
protection OF foreign commerce.
