MOVEMENT
is A SURPRISE

WASHINGTON. July Proceedings
asking that Bainbridge Colby. secre-
tary OF state, be enioined from issu-
ing any proclamation declaring the
suffrage amendment ratified, were in
stituted in the District OF Columbia
Supreme Court yesterday by Charles
s. Fairchild, OF New York, president
OF the American Constitutional
League.
Mr.. Falrchild also seeks TO prevent
Attorney-General Palmer from enforc-
ing the amendment. Justice Bailey
issued a rule on Secretary Colby and
the Attorney General TO show cause
July i3 why the motion should not
be granted.
The basis OF the proceedings is the
claim that the ratification OF the
amendment by the West Virginia Leg
islature was Illegal because accom-
plished by fraud and that tbs pro-
posed ratification gy the TenneSsee
Legislature also would be Illegal on
the ground that the Legislature lacked
authority under the States constitu-
tion 10 act on the measure.
Only 80 States have ratified the
amendment. and as ratification by one
other Is necessary the attack on the
amendments through the courts at
this time came as a surprise In suf-
frage circles here An attack on the
Rgahly OF the action OF the Tennes-
% see Legislature had been expected,
but not until the Legislature actually
had acted.
In anticipation OF such move by
the antisuffrage forces, the organiza-
tions supporting the amendment have
urged early action by more than g
States so that the amendment could
become operative In time 10 permit
the women 10 vote in the presidential
election this year.
RALEIGH. n. c., July s.-Governor
Beckett, Of North Carolina, has is
sued a call for a special session OF ths
Legislature for August 30, at which
ratification OF the suffrage amend
ment will be considered.
Governor Beckett did not mention
suffrage In the call for the specia
' session. but ne has telegraphed Prfssi
dent Wilson that he will recommend
10 the special session that the amend
ment be ratified.
Both national and State Democratic
party leaders are expected 10 brinl
great pressure to bear on the Legisla
ture TO ratify the amendment and
bitter light IS looked for by stat
officials. The North Carolina brancl
OF the Rejection League has been ex
tremely active for a month and thou

by the lack of money, he wanted to
pay the railroad tax, but not at all
for the purpose of relieving the coun-
said that If they would rise to their
full duty and clean up the mess In
finance, he would pay the railroad
tax and then probably all the others
who were holding back would pay
voluntarily and clean up all the
trouble.
(irafters Scared Stiff
Then there was scurrying among
county officials. Somebody was wise
to their methods and they did not
know how much he knew. Visions
of prison cells and fortunes totter-
ing had a wholesome influence on
them and they cleaned up rapidly,
checked out all the money in the
Mccormick bank redeeming war
rants, and acted like lot of peni-
tent thieves who had been seized
with an ambition to be honest. The
tax man paid up what the railroad
company had been refusing to pay,
educational work was speeded up,
the schools had money to buy wood
and to pay teachers, and the tax
man of the railroad company swelled
up with honest pride at the thought
of the great good he had wrought.
But he only put big scare into
them, and the next chapter will
show that he ought to have stayed
right on the job, examining their
books much and often. Blaine coun-
ty would have done we'll to hire him
to just stick around and fish and
hunt, and loaf around the court
house at intervals, looking over the
books just enough to keep them
scared stiff.

POPPY DAY IS ANOTHER DRIVE

An organization in America under
the leadership of Madam Guerrin,
acting under and by consent and en-
couragement of Premier Millerand
of France, is organizing the cities
and towns of the United States to
have tag days during which people
give whatever they wish, for the
destitute children of the devastated
regions of France.
The drive, or poppy day work in
Blackfoot is in the hands of Mrs.
Cecil Clark, and she turns the money
over to her banker, who transmits
it to the bank chosen by the state
organization at Boise; they in turn
transmit it direct to the bank of the
government of France, and it is used
under direction of Premier Mil
lerand.
In the devastated regions the peo-
pie have nothing to work with and
no means of putting in crops, no
place to live until it is provided from
outside, and nothing to eat until they
get it from elsewhere. They are
underfed, much exposed and by rea-
son of their weakened condition, fall
an easy prey to many diseases.
The people of America will give
whatever they choose. None are
asked for any specific amount, but
merely asked to consider making a
gift and then give as much or as
little as they wish.
June II is the day at Blackfoot.
Tags will be furnished and those
wearing tags will not be asked.

CHAPTER v.

CHAPTER V.
In chapter Nv told how a Blaine
county Spectator made big profits
investing county warrants, and in
creased his profits by being a friend
of the treasurer so he could obtain
information as to when warrants
were to be called for payment. They
got to dividing the profits, then he
became county commissioner and the
warrant calls were more easily con-
trolled and made at such times as
suited, their investments. But to
keep themselves out of sight in the
buying of warrants, they arranged
to have third man do the buying,
and they had to split profits with
him after he got to know how prof.
liable it was.
Partners in Graft
There was always some danger
that the other two members of the
board would learn what was going
on and make trouble about the spec
ulations, and they had to either keep
putting more friends on the board
at the next election, or keep con-
tinually fooling those that were not
in on the deals. AS the years went
on, they added to the number of
men who had knowledge of the man
ner of manipulating the warrants,
and every one who profited in any
way by it thereby became what they
were pleased to call "a partner in
SIM" and he had to stand pat and
help protect the ring. The more
profits they made, the poorer the
county became; and the poorer the
county became, the more money
they made, because the warrants
kept selling for lesss money all the
while, and the ring used the idle
county money to buy the warrants.
They bought them at as low as sixty
cents on the dollar, and made forty
cents, plus the interest, on every
sixty cents invested. That makes sc
per cent profit, besides the interest,
and sometimes they would turn the
money several times a year. Taxes
had to be raised beyond all reason,
to cover all this graft, and yet keep
the county government going, and
the railroad company, being heavy
tax payer, gave the matter consid-
cradle study.
A Fatal Bond Issue
Finally the county issued some
bonds that were not valid because

Some Old Tax Stories

of an error in the proceedings, and
the railroad tax man IN looking
over the records discovered the flaw.
He declined to pay their share of
this tax and held the county Off
Gals at bay for a long time. They
did not know just how much the
railroad tax man knew, and they
were acting the part of moral cow
ards accordingly. Finally a new tax
man was sent to investigate and
make decisions as to what course the
railroad company would take in the
matter, and discovered that the
county treasurer had thirty thousand
dollars of county money on deposit
in the Mccormick bank at Salt Lake
and had more than that amount of
warrants awaiting redemption, or
as they say, outstanding"
A King Among Thieves
The tax man meditated long
time and then approached thechair-
man of the board and told him that
there were so many irregularities in
their ways of conducting the coun-
ty business, they were wasting the
peoples money so badly, he demand
ed that they put their governmental
house in order if they wanted the
railroad company to spare them the
humiliation and pay their part of
these defective bonds. He mentioned
the waste of money lying idle in the
Mccormick bank as one of their sins,
and said that because the school
children in their county were suf-

We want to tell you about owl efficiency.
You might be able to beat it but you'll have to
60 some to do it.
There is type of owl that makes it's nest in
the ground at the lower end of slanting tunnel.
The mother owl lays three eggs in the nest and
then hollows out another nest in the tunnel
about foot above the first one. In this second
airy nest she lays three more eggs. She keeps
on making additions to her cold storage eggs in
this way until she reaches the limits of her
family ambition and then she begins the effici-
ency economy work. She sits on the first three
eggs in the main nest at the bottom of the tun-
nel and when the owlets are Matched she uses
her beak to crank the next three eggs down
among the owlets. BY the time they are four
days old they are able to keep the three eggs
warm and the mother owl goes out rustling
food for them. She keeps them fed and they
grow larger and the heat from their little bodies
