BORAH'S BOMB,

passes an opportunity TO play the
game for Senator Borah's advantage
Coming closely on the heels of the
Newberry conviction. Mr. Borah's as
sertion that prodigious sums were be
ing squandered to further campaigns
for General Leonard Wood and Frank
10. Lowdcn. the accusations caught a
credulous public ear No one denies
that the charges should pass without
being thoroughly inve stigated and ac-
tual conditions exposed Nothing in
| American politics is more dspicable
than the purchase OF public political
preference.
Just why however. Mr. Borah
should have singled out Wood and
Lowden to bear the brunt IF his &C
cusations is not apparent, unless
these two men are objectionable ia
him as potential presidents There
can be no other exclamation Hiram
Johnson and Miles Poindcxter are as

Mr. Borah's ends But what on earth
are those ends We can only specu-

Clearly. the thing to do is to ask a
strict accounting from every presi

EAGLESON'S CANDIDACY.

Little surprise WAS OCCaSlOnCu Sun-
day when John Eagleson, state treas
urer Tor many terms, announced his
candidacy Tor the gorernorship OF Ida
no on the Republican ticket. And it
was also quite definitely established
that he would make the race on plat
form of opposition to the cabinet form
OF government as evolved and car
ried out during the administration OF
Governor ID. w. Davis.
Mr.. Eagleson has earned an en-
viable reputation through efficiency
and business ability he has displayed
III his work as state treasurer. He is
a capable, thorough public official
Only two things OF the past obstruct
his path. One OF these is the wide
spread sentiment that he represents a
family too frequently and too hong in
politics, the other, that he has flirted
with Nonpartisan support Each will
unquestionaby rob him of support.
His candidacy institutes the first
breach in Idaho Republican ranks for
Mr. Eagleson is avowedly opposed to
state government consolidated in re-
lated groups, each under commits
sioner, and the latter responsible TO
the chief executive, And the contest
between Mr., Eagleson and Governor
Davis will be watched with interest
because its termination will undoubt-
eddy determine the stand OF Idaho Re
publicans on this matter.
Mr.. EagleSon is right III asserting
that there was no general demand for
the cabinet reorganization prior to
MIR. Davis election. But there surely
has long been pleading for state
government conducted on a business
basis. We believe that responsible
state government is natural step III
that direction. And, surely, there is
no crime iii being pioneer. Witness
the new Kansas industrial law, mod
el many states contemplate following.
Illinois has state government or
ganized almost identically like tina, OF
Idaho. And the governor OF Illinois,
Frank Lowden, is candidate for the
presidency OF the United States, bus
mess mans candidate, largely because
of the Illinois cabinet form OF govern
nlent.
Taxpayers are likely to hastily con-
clude that increased tsate taxes are
due primarily 10 the altered form OF
state government. This is not true.
1t is still debated question whether
actual state government operation un
der the new system is more expensive
than under the older form. At any
event the difference will not be mark
ed. II was new capital buildings and
appropriations for roads that swelled

system of state government may carry
weight with many voters, we believe
the idea of a responsible form OF state
to be essentially sound,

CLEANING UP.

1t IS not quite a year ago that the
author, then industriously filling space
for Boise contemporary, was inform
cd that Caldwell was TO have a clean
up week. The information was duly
digested, wrought into what is known
as story and given to the world
for persual. Having dutiiully per

If anything was done, the reporter
never discovered it. Streets were just
as dirty, there were just as many rub
bish cluttered vacant lots and back
alleys, just as many vacant lots en-
numbered with tumble weeds and mel

Caldwell is not particularly pretty
town. Even the most loyal resident
will admit the fact. Buildings con

still in existence. That is something
which. Of course, only time and de

PLEA ON AUG, 70
State Commission Sets This Date
After Conference With Rail-
road Men Is

Hearing on the petition of railroads
operating In North Dakota for IN
creased freight rates within the state
will be held before the board OF rail-
road commissioners here on August
r.. The date was decided upon after
a conference of representatives OF
the roads and the commissioners yes
,terday afternoon
It is the expectation OF the COM
missioners that by August IL the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
have handed down it's decision upon
the interstate rate increase pleas now
before the commission,
Railroads in North Dakota, 1t is
understood, had prepared new scheu'
ules for intrastate rates, but Will baso
their case instead upon the increase
to be granted by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, asking that the
intrastate rates be made to con-
form.
The increase that will be neces-
sary to do this, in the opinion OF
some rate experts, would have been
about 25 per cent until the railroads
filed new petitions for rates follow
ing the s64O,O0O,000 rate award. The
increase now is vaFiously estimated
at from 25 to 40 per cent.
II is the desire Of railroads that the
intrastate increases, if granted, he
come effective at the same time as
the interstate increases, which are
expected to be granted.

STATE TAX ON

Only One Company Pays Tax
Under Protest and Lawsuit

STATE RICHER BY $175,ooo

Railroads operating in North Da
kota have paid approximately $175,-
900 income tax under the state law.
Payments were received yesterday,
the last day before delinquency un-
der the law.
The payment of the tax, it is said,
marks the first case of the payment
Of large sums Of taxes imposed by
the legislature of 1919 which have
been paid without a lawsuit
The 500 lines. it is understood,
paid the income tax under protest,
while the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Chicago, Milwaukee and
St.. Paul lines paid the tax without
protest. The amount paid by the
northern Pacific is understood to
have been the largest amount, Slight
ly exceeding that of the Great Nor
thern. -.
Law Made in 1919.
The legislature in 1919 enacted an
income tax law which provided an in
come tax to be paid by individuals,
and in addition. tax of 3 per cent on
the net income of corporations, firms
or joint stock companies. The law,
unlike the federal income tax law,
does not exempt the individual from
payment on tax on dividends received
from corporations which pay the tax.
1t is said the legislature will be ask
ed next winter to exempt Individual
incomes in such cases.
1t is considered doubtful If the rail-
roads will make fight in the courts
against the tax, since the railroad IN
come now is guaranteed under the
Esch- Cumming bill and the tax will
be added in the railroad expenses,
and paid in the end by the people
generally. ... :.
Others Pay.
The law provided that the income
tax should be paid by July %. In ad.
dition to the railroads, the Standard
Oil company, the Pullman company
and the Ford Motor company, which
has branch at Fargo, were among
the corporations which paid their
taxes. p ,''
The total amount to be derived by
the state from the corporation III
come tax is estimated at half mil
lion dollars. i. .-.
Because of difficulty in seSregat-
ing the income of railroads an as
sessment was made on a property
basis by the state tax commission
er this being accepted as the basis on
which payment was made.
