TAXES ARE Due
EARLIER NOW

1t Will pay Idaho taxpayers to
watch the calendar this year to avoid
making a mistake about the time
when their taxes are due.
The last legislature changed the
time for taxes becoming delinquent
from the Saturday before the first
Monday in January to the Saturday
before the fourth Monday in Decem-
Der. AS there are FIVE Mondays in
December this year, the dates are es-
pecially complicated.
AS il figures out, the taxes for this
year must be paid on or before Dec.
20. The first date for payment is
November "a, the taxes being due ION
or after the fourth Monday in Novem-
ber". II the taxes are not paid be-
fore December 20, six per cent pen
atty will be attached.
Taxpayers may pay the first half w
to December 20 and pay the last hall
any time before the fourth Monday OF
the succeeding June.
These changes were made by house
bill No. 212, passed by the last iegis'
lature. The object of the change was
to give tax collectors an opportunity
to settle up their work before the enc
of the fiscal year. which is the second
Monday in January, and also TO give
outgoing collectors an opportunity t6
settle their accounts before their sue
cessors take office. Heretofore thes'
accounts have dragged from one ad
ministration to another, creating dup
LEGATION of work and confusion.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL
CAMPAIGN DECEMBER | TO II

that the money raised from the sale
of Red Cross Christmas seals is de-
voted to the study and prevention OF
tuberculosis in this state. While Ida
no has been comparatively and fortu-
nately free from this disease, which
annually claims thousands OF lives,
the thought of those in charge or the
seal campaign is that the state must
be kept in its present good condition.
More than 800 Idaho boys were re-
iected after examinations for entrance
into the army on account OF tuber-
culosis. While this is a small num-
her in comparison to the population
of the state and the general prevalence
of the disease in other states, 1t is high
enough TO startle those who thought
thew were familiar with conditions
The plan is to raise approximately
$40 900 by the sale of Christmas seals
This year This amount has been APP
portioned among the various counties
so that the burden will rest very light

The Northwest Leads.

Employers and employees of the
East, and Middle West have both eyes
on the Northwest, and the Loyal Leg
ion OF Loggers and Lumbermen, in the
hope that the institution, now local TO
this section, may offer relief to labor
unrest and unstable conditions. ac-
cording to p. L. Abbey, secretary
manager of the Loyal Legion. who has
recently returned from trip TO Chi
cago and other points.
Many people in the Northwest were
somewhat skeptical as to the future
of the Ais when it was removed from
government control, and the results
obtained are most gratifying to its
supporters who claim that its prin-
cipal objects, which are to stabilize
labor conditions, maintain the eight
hour day and provide an equitable
method of collective bargaining, have
been fully attained.
Mr.. Abbey states when in the
East / explained the workings OF th'
AIS to a conference of employers ant
employees called by the Illinois Man

REPUBLICANS
ARE OPTIMISTIC

Everything points to triumphant
Republicanism," says Representative
Simeon ID. Fess, of Ohio, chairman Of
the Republican Congressional COM
mittee, in a statement. Congress has
been in session six months. Ii has
proceeded on a program of legisla-
ton with keen sense of its RESPONSE
bility in a vote OF confidence which
transferred the control from thd Re-
publican to the Democratic party.
Its record is made up of what 1t has
accomplished, not alone on RECONSTRUCT
ton measures but by constructive leg
islation of permanent importance.
The Investigations of war expendi-
lures leave no doubt OF the needless
extravaganza and inexcusable incom-
petence which force the necessity Of
an accounting to the country. This
Congress has charged itself with the
duty of getting away from war expen-
ditures. The. attitude of President
Wilson in demanding acceptance OF the
League Of Nations without the cross

PEELED delay of action on the treaty
and then defeated It. Had he dis
played a willingness to Americanize
the treaty, 1t would have been rat
flied months ago and would have
opened the way to greater progress
toward world basis. The prospects
for 1920 are most satisfactory to Re
publicans. Every election points to
the dissatisfaction of the people with
the management of the Democrats
In the last contest the trend every
where was in the one direction. The

Must Protect County Bridge

The board of county commissioners
have found it necessary to take steps
TO prevent large droves of cattle or
sheep being driven over the county
bridge across the Kootenai river and
4 heavy penalty will be fined any per-
|pn who, in the future, drives more
than 25 head at a time across the
bridge or who allows the cattle to be
|driyen faster than a walk
This step is taken to prevent DAM
|ige to the bridge. Last week a large
Nerd of COWS was taken across this
bridge and most of the cattle ran all
Tie way across. AS result the struc-
lure was rocking and swaying In a
threatening manner before the COWS
eft it. If such a practice was per-
hitted it would not be long before the
9ndge would give way.
