months, and it appealed To me as a
matter Of duty to let your readers
know whatl have observed of this 9th
er organization,
The league | speak of was organized
about year ago In a southern ldaho
city. The professed platform of this
league as stated at number of pre-
hminary meetings when members
were secured, was to secure n reduc-
ton in taxation. II was governed by
an executive committee of ~ men To-
Gated In different sections of the coun-
~. something ON the order of a polite
al cSlnmittce. An effort to conduct the
affairs Of the league soon made 1t
evident that money other than Nolun-
tary contributions would he necessary,
and annual dues of 50 the member
were proposed aud voted. About this
time. the "dcmocratic' feeling which
had been fostered to noticeable eN-
tent began to wane.
An Idaho law was used by the or
SANITATION and by means OF it several
men were forced ont of office. They
had technically failed in their duties
hv neglectng to get out reports which
were required by law, within the time
required. don't know definitely
how many men were relieved of office

ed and so am interested in seeing
taxes as low as possible in keeping
| with good government. Last year be-
fore the league was organized, my
taxes on high priced irrigated land
were slightly under $S an acre. This
year, after the league had been ope-
rating for a year, my taxes on the
same land We're little more than $40
an acre, OF course, IL | wanted to be
as violently condemnatory as some of
the men who refer TO themselves in Il
very sympathetic tone as "oVerburden-
ed taxpayers | would say the league
increased my taxes. II didn't however,
but it did fail to keep them as low us
they had been or to reduce them. 1t
failed of its objective.
Here is what it did accomplish;
Engendered ill feeling in the COM
munity which 90 years of high endeav-
or will fail to erase.
Made every citizen worthy of trust
who might be prevailed on to take Of
flee, swear to himself that he would
not risk his good name and reputation
in the service of his city, county or
state, if control were to lie given to the
ilk which guided the particular lea
sue to which | refer.
II gave quite lot of extra legal
work to several second-rate lawyers.
1t created a paid job for a radical
socialist who had gone bankrupt in
business when the board OF directors,
of which he was one. voted to make
him executive secretary Of the league.
The president of the league was
himself kicked out Of office several
wears ago. and it gave him an oppor-
tunity. with the power he welded as
president. to get even
II gave many men Of second-rate
ability an opportunity TO cloak their
own malicious hatreds behind the lea
que and thus pay old scores.
Il gave to that particular section NJ

work a decade to oerCome. and which |
in a measure never will be forgotten. !

slight measure in a political way. Aside
from that, it has failed, or what is
worse, it has been an actual detriment
to the county which it started out to
serve so benefieientk.
l am not trying to predict what will
happen with this league you have here.
I'm no prophet. But | have some

BiackbIrd Fed Thrush.

A lady of Penzance who is great
lover of birds, says Mr.. w. H. Hudson
in his recently published book, "Ad-
ventures Among Birds" noticed that
a blackbird and thrush always came
together to her lawn where she was In
the habit of placing food for the birds.
Then she noticed that the blackbird
fed the thrush, picking up the crumbs
of bread and putting them Into its
mouth. Looking more closely, she dis
covered that the thrush's beak had
been cut off close to the head, prob
ably by steel trap or sudden-death
spring trap, such as the children in
Cornwall commonly use to catch or
kill small birds. The thrush was In
capable Of feeding itself.

ed by Goodness of Orchestra Leader.
Baton Rouge, La, Aug. "A
near panic was created at the
Columbia Theatre last night
when some one in the balcony
yelled fire. after smoke had
been blown into the building by
the cooling fans.
The only thing that saved the
situation was the GOODNESS Of the
leaders of the orchestra in strik-
ing up a loud air on the orches-
ira, and the trainer of the per-
forming bears, then on the stage,
going to the front of the stage
and demanding that people keep
their seats, that there was no
fire.
Several women tainted, and
children screamed and it was
several minutes before quiet was
restored.

Editor Collar Chronicle:
Please allow US space to thank
the banks of Grant parish for
helping us to attend the largest
and best short course ever held
in Louisiana. We heard talks by
q number of Washington officials
and many leading men of Louis

The girls spent their time in
class room work on dairying,
poultry, home ornamentation,
gardening and breadmaking. The
boys time was spent in studying
better farming methods, visiting
good stock farms, judging live
stock and selecting seed corn.
Many pleasure trips were taken
in and around Baton Rouge in
cluding a visit to the Greater
Agricultural College,
You have helped US have the
time of our lives and we are fill

parish a better parish in club
