TAX DODGERS BUSY
AGAIN

Last winter many herds Of stock
were being fed in this county to be
fattened and forwarded to market.
They remained for few weeks or q
few months in the county and In
nearly all cases went on without pay
ing any taxes at all to this county.
They are by law allowed ten days
stay-over without paying, but not
longer.
When we demonstrated against the
custom of allowing them to go free,
the counter claim was made that 1t
might be better to be easy on them
in this respect and encourage them
to keep on coming. II we make them
pay like other people do, they might
20 elsewhere and thus we should lose
the sale of the hay and pulp.
That kind of reasoning is not
sound. II transients are entitled to
such favor, why are not the residents
entitled to equal favor. II they are
honest men they certainly expect to
pay taxes somewhere, and while In
this county they receive the protec-
ton of the community the same as
do the permanent residents, and
there is no reason why they should
not bear their proportionate share
of the expense Of government.
! Now that we have allowed nearly
all of them to go free in years gone
by, and IL it is such good policy to
do that for the sake of building up
the feeders trade and the sale OF
hay here, why is it that there is Sc
little sale for hay now. Practically
everybody who raises hay to sell has
it in the stack now and with q pro
spect of keeping it there, for there
are no feeders.
There is another unsound argu
ment that has been made agains
taxing the. herds and flocks OF tn
county even on an equality witt
other property aud that has been ad
vanced by the same people who sale
that feeders should be favored
is that stockmen have had such
hard time to pull thru, they ough
not to be crushed by taxationa

DEMAND CHANGES IN RULES
OF CONGRESS

The National Economic league OF
| Boston, Mass. sent out a QUESTIONABLE
not long ago to 1880 of their MEM
bers to take the measure of their
| Judgment on a number of important
questions Of congressional rules and
customs, and found that its members
were largely in favor of the changes.
Here are some of the questions sub
mitted and the votes returned:
1. Should there be open, visible
and responsible leadership in mat
ters of national finance and admin
istration?

8. Should there be change in the

Answers-949, or 90 per cent an

The QUESTIONABLE went on at
length into changes that might be
needed for putting these and other
important matters into the limelight
and before the people thru the press
| az reDorted in the omen meetings and
debates in congress, and thus have
"open decisions openly arrived at"
and the vote by large majorities was
in favor of the openness and public
ity, making use of the weight Of
public opinion on the same prin-
ciple as it has been used in the pres
ent peace conference to put the re-
sponsibility upon those entrusted
with power and giving them no op-
portunity to shift responsibility by
having the facts withheld from their
constituents.

THE WOMAN
JURYMAN

In the Arbuckle trial at San Fran
cisco the jury consisted Of ten men
and two women. Unfortunately for
the cause of those who are pleading
for woman's rights on the jury, IN
politics and elsewhere, these two
women made very poor showing Tor
their sex.
Jurors are sworn to render a YER
dict according to the law and the
evidence laid before them, and one OF
the women on the jury in this case
voted for conviction from first to
last and at all times refused to con-
slider the evidence. She stubbornly
declared that she did not care any
thing about the evidence, that she
was for conviction and that she
would not change her vote under
any condition.
The other woman voted a few
times for acquittal and then after
that she wobbled, voting sometimes
for acquittal, sometimes for convic-
ton, and sometimes casting a blank
ballot. Such action on her part was
a travesty on justice. If Arbuckle
was guilty and she voted lightly to
acquit him she was not living up to
the responsibility of her position. II
Arbuckle was innocent and she
voted to convict him and II her vote
had settled the case it would have
meant that Arbuckle would be con
signed to slave labor in the horrible
jute mills in San Quentin, a place
where the men work In such fol
OF dust that they become afflicted
with diseases of the lungs. Thi'
woman having heard all Of the evi
dence considered the mans fate 81
lightly that she was willing to vot'
either way or not to vote at all t
get verdict OF some kind and ge
relief from the task. The only wa.
for such people to learn any sense Il
to be charged with some serious
crime themselves and be put on tria
where the whole course Of their lif'
is at stake.
In the Arbuckle case it is un
fortunate that the ten men on tn
jury were for the acquittal of tn
man charged with the crime agains

on the jury were for conviction q

AMERICAN FALLS
LEADING

American Falls has taken the lead
in move that will ultimately mean
the purging Of the town and uphold
ing law and morality. For six years,
from 1914 to 1920 they had two
competing newspapers and whenever
the one newspaper made move In
the direction of law enforcement,
clean politics and morality, the other
newspaper made counter attack
and did whatever it could to dis
credit what had been said by the first
one. The American Falls Press stood
for good citizenship, for clean
town, for law enforcement and the
upbuilding Of good community.
Whenever it pointed out anything
that was wrong or neglected or that
should be changed the other paper
attacked it, denied that such condi-
lions existed or did whatever it could
to discredit The Press. 1t was as II
they were throwing dust in peoples
faces every time they attempted to
get clear view of anything. They
invariably clouded the issue and
kept some of the people deceived and
many others in doubt. All thru that
period the town was torn by strife
and there were opposing factions.
The one newspaper could not do any
thing to improve the situation and
the other newspaper would not.
Finally the newspapers were CONSOLE
dated and both Of them placed under
the management of the American
Falls Press and now some Of the old
factions that was supporting the OPP
posite paper, deceiving the public
and clouding the issues, seem to be
still trying to discredit the editor
of The Press by operating, thru the
court.
Editor Terrence is giving the
enemy the best of 1t by making mod
est statements about his own cause,
not taking advantage of the fact that
he has The Press at his disposal, and
is giving them every opportunity to
get in line and be fair and decent If
they will. His actions should COM
mand the respect and confidence OF
all decent citizens and we predict
that it will gain the public support
thru the long struggle Of the years.

least for a part of the time in dis
posing of the man charged with the
crime. Unfortunately it leaves the
opportunity for extremists to make
the charge that the men were for
protecting their own kind against
the interests Of woman. It is equally
unfortunate that 1t gives the extrem-
lists among the men the opportunity
of saying that the women were Tor

would warrant It or not. Both OF
these circumstances are unfortunate
and to be regretted and the normal
minds and hearts Of both sexes will
