WARNING TO LEGISLATURE.
(Boise Statesman

During the last two years Idaho has
had the highest taxes in her history
There was not much trouble in meet
ing the huge tax draft during the first
year and a half, however, because that
was an easy money period. But, in
the last half year, Idaho suffered stag
nation in her vital industries.
The county auditors, now in conven-
ton here, say that many counties are
nine months behind in payment of the
county warrants. The state treasurer
could tell MS that the state is about
five months behind in payment of the
warrants that for the honor and cred
it of Idaho, should have been paid in
cash on presentation. Instead of that.
they are selling at a discount 90 is
the present quotation. and the pur-
chasers estimate they will get interest
at the rate of II per cent per annum.
The state can not pay its obligations
promptly and the people, who one
year ago did not complain strenuous
ly about their taxes, are falling behind.
It is said that in some counties only
one third Of the first installment of
taxes has been paid
If the legislature allows this carni-
val of spending to go on. it will not be
a tax they are levying; it will be a
first mortgage on all or nearly all of
Tie property in Idaho and many of our
citizens will say Take the property.

MARKET FOR MINING SHARES.
lNew York Reeord)

(New York RecOrd)
One of the features of the trading
on the New York stock exchange and
on the curb during the past few weeks
has been the growing indications that
high grade mining stocks are passing
into strong hands. The character Of
the buying in these issues has been
such. in the opinion of some veteran
analysts. as to Indicate that the pres
ent year may see a much bigger mar
let in mining shares generally than
has been witnessed in a very long
while
In the past some of the most i'm
portant mining markets have been
started by spectacular demonstra-
tons in issues in the outside securi-
ties market
over the past few weeks there have
been indications of that sort of ac-
emulation for pool account in certain
of the curb mining issues as to indi-
cate that various important stock
market operators are of the opinion
that the public can now be induced to
come into the mining shares market
on a broad scale.
The remarkable developments in the
oil industry during the past few years
the world shortage of oil and the
bringing in of such great new fields as
the Ranger field in Texas and other
great producing districts of the Lone
Star state-attracted so much popular
enthusiasm for the oil shares as to
make all the more difficult any such
big market in the mining issues as
might otherwise have been seen. Not

provides for a fish commissioner at a

volvers, 81 per annum for each

In order to remove the game de-
partment or bureau from the demon
alizing innuepce of politics, the gen
tleman from Teton has inserted in his
bill a provision that all "employes"
are placed under civil service rules.
The value of this provision depends
upon who are regarded as employees
and also who formulates the civil ser
vice rules. Presumably the warden
and his deputies are not employees
within the meaning of this bill. nor
would be the fish commissioner
hatchery superintendent, etc. the on
ly positions that have any political
significance. In any event, civil ser
vice rules might be formulated for
the purpose of perpetuating political
control of the bureau

REAL NEED FOR TUBERcULAR
HOSPITALS.

Much surprise and disappointment
has been caused in this county
through the news from Boise that a
movement has been started in the
legislature to repeal the law passed
two years ago providing for building
two hbercular hospitals. one at
Standpoint and the other at Payette
The law provided for a fractional
mill tax. through which a fund of al
most 100000 was raised. and it is
now proposed to use this money for
building additions to the Orohno and
Blackfoot asylums.
The Miner has been and is an adj
Vocate of economy and retrenchment
by the legislature. but it will never
sanction such cold blooded and
heartless proposition as this under
the guise of economy. The law pro-
viding for the erection of these hos
pitfalls was passed by the last legis-
lature after an investigation that
proved conclusively that such insti-
tutions were needed both for the pur-
pose of providing suitable treatment
for the patients and for the protec-
ton of the public against the disease.

MINING OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
(Denver Mining Record

(DenNef Mining itecOfd)
Conditions are just about right for
boom in silver mining in the Rocky
mountain camps. Uncle Sam has a
standing order with the miner of sill
Yer in the United States for all the
metal he can produce during the next
four or five years or until the 2O7.-
600 600 ounces sold to England during
the war are replaced in the United
states treasury. The mines of the
United States will produce about 17O,-
100000 ounces of silver during the
next four years, and Uncle Sans I'M
filled order at the present time is
about 5.OOOO 600 ounces
Under these conditions why
shouldn't silver mining boom in the
white metal producing districts of the
United States during the next several
years. The miner is guaranteed a fix
ed price of 81 an ounce for his pro-
duction, and with every drop in the
cost of supplies and in wages his pro-
fits will increase proportionately
There isn't a chance that the Pittman
re-purchase act will be repealed be-
cause Uncle Sam gave his word to
the west that he would re-purchase
the silver sold to England and he al
ways keeps his word. And then again.
it isn't costing Uncle Sam anything
to replace this silver. BE received 81

he is simply replacing it at the same
price.
time Colorado silver camps are
taking on renewed activity and by the
time that summer comes again the
mountains will be alive with miners

mining will mean greater activity in
all classes of metal production. There
are signs that the world wide de-
mand of the next several years for
gold and silver as well as copper, lead,
zinc, tungsten, mOlybenum and other
metals, will cause the mines of the

CALLAHAN OPPOSED ANTI-JAP-
ANESE RESOLUTION.

Representative Donald A. Callahan
Of Shoshone county, led the opposi-
tion to the anti-Japanese resolution
introduced by Van de Steeg, of Can
yon county Although the resolution
was adopted by the house by a vote
OF IS to IS. the argument presented
by Mr.. Callahan made a distinct i'm
preston and was warmly a2plauded.
The resolution declares in favor Of
prohibiting immigration of Japanese
to the United States and demands
that congress shall recognize the
right of the state of Idaho to regulate
the acquisition and disposition of the
land within the borders of the state.
Mr. Callahan contended that the
question of whether the Japanese
should hold land in this country. or
whether they should be prohibited
from coming to this country at all,
were federal questions and he did not
think il the business of the legislature
to pass upon them. Besides to do so
would tend to embarrass the govern
ment in its negotiations now in pro-
gress with Japan, negotiations cover
ing the questions contained in the
resolution. He stated that announce
mcnt had just been made that the
Japanese question would be passed
up to the Harding administration.

county at that time was a difficult

of business capacity and nerve quail

was reelected last fall. His record

his services TO Shoshone county as a
commissioner. it was not in that po-
sition that he accomplished the most
important results and which made his
subsequent record as commissioner
possible
1t was Fremont Rowe who organiz-

step in a movement that eventually

have the satisfaction of knowing
that to them is due the credit of re-
storing the rights of American citi-
zenship in the Occur d'Alene district.
In this work Fremont Rowe played
leading and conspicuous part At
Burke he was face to face with the
most radical and vicious element in
the district and it was there that he
proved his courage and undanted
Americanism. He and his compatli-

for trouble: neither did they rum

it, They were simply exercising their
rights as American citizens in taking
employment in the mines and they
were ready at all times to defend that
right. 1t was this attitude. accom-
panied by occasional demonstrations
of physical force. that finally freed
the district of the element which had
dominated and terrorized it for years
OF course there were other influences J
at work to accomplish that end. but

key stone of the arch.
