CAME FISH FOR
LAKE
Land Locked Salmon to be Planted in
Payette Lake in Spring.

Mark Bates, piscatorial editor of
the Payette Lake Star, received no
tice last week that his efforts to Sc
cure supply of land locked salmon
for stocking his beloved lake have
been rewarded. Five thousand eyed
eggs are to be shipped from the fed
eral hatchery at Freeport, Maine, to
the State Fish and Game Department.
These eggs will be Matched in one of
the state fish hatcheries and the
young fry planted in the lake later in
the season.
Mark has worked faithfully at this
task for number of years and has
succeeded when others failed. The
sportsmen of this section owe him
vote of thanks for the introduction of
this gamiest of all fresh water fish
into this part of Idaho.
Though it has cost Mark much sleep
to bring about this happy result his
troubles have only begun. Mark feels.
as do most of the rest of rod and reel
enthusiasts of this locality that the
honor of lifting the first ouinaniche
from the dimpling bosom of Payette
Lake should be his; and he is still
lying awake nights trying to figure
out how he can keep Ed Hayes, Max
Mayfield and Harry Shellworth away
from the lakes so he can reserve this
honor for himself.

Encounter.

Clyde Bright and Lem Willis, young

shall McAuley, charged with disturb
ing the peace and tranquility Of the
neighborhood near the Boise Payette
sawmill. They were taken before
Judge Haag. entered plea of guilty
and were each fined $50. Bright be-
ing unable to pay the fine, languishes
in the Ada county Jail
The trouble arose over a girl, with
whom young Bright had been keep
ing company for nearly a year. On
Thursday evening the girl in question
decided to attend the movies in COM
pany with Willis and chaperoned by
an elderly lady. Bright was peeved
at the turn of events and caught up
with the party near the mill boarding
house. He demanded TO know If the
girl was going to accompany Willis
to the show. Her reply being in the
affirmative, young Bright hurriedly
returned to his home, armed himself
with a pair of brass knucks and start
ed in search of the girl and her COM
pany. The first dash out of the box
he knocked Willis down, with blow
behind the ear, and repeated with a
blow to the forehead Willis in de-
fense drew his pocket knife and as
the two men clinched he inflicted
three wounds upon Bright, one upon
the arm, one in the abdomen and one
in the back The last wound was two
inches deep. None of the wounds
is of a serious nature.
The two men are said to be South
erners. Willis is employed by Mr..
Weeks, the sheepman, as sheep ten

The entertainment began with a

sistants singing the old time darkey
songs, dancing the "hoe-downs," etc.
The mock trial ably depicted condi-
tons on the bench and the offenders
were all acquitted and given sound
lecture by the "jedge", and advised
to obtain "job" on the Canyon canal
and thus alleviate all further neces-
sity for stealing. Between acts,
Dinah and her helpers gracefully
presided over the punch bowl and as
a fitting close to this delightful even

most delicious four-course lunch, the
last course consisting of the much
napkins. The U. AS feel

TAXES IN IDAHO SHOW
BIG GROWTH
Department of Commerce at
Washington Gives Out Cost
of Government Figures.

The department of commerce
through the bureau Of census, an
nounces that the costs of government
for the state of Idaho for the fisca
year ending September 80, 1920
amounted to $7,361 1888, which was ,
per capita cost of s16-94. In 1917 tn,
per capita was $7.03, and in 1914
1 $5.42, the totals for these years being
| $2,S23,115 and $4,000, ,691, respective
ly. The per capita costs for 1920 cor

ments, $8-97; payments of interest
! $0.62, and for outlays, 1874
The total revenue receipts in 1920
were $6,619, 500, or $15.23 per capita.
For the fiscal year the per capita ex-
cess of governmental costs over reve-
nue. receipts was, therefore, S1.71.
Property and special taxes consti-
tute the greater part of the revenue
in majority of states. In Idaho they
represented 59.1 per cent for 1920.
Earnings of general departments,
or compensation for services rendered
by state officials, represented 10.6
per cent of the total revenue for 1920;
10.4 per cent for 1917, and 81 per
cent for 1914.
Business and non-business licenses,
which in previous years included re-
ceipts from liquor licenses, constitut-
ed 9 per cent of the total revenue for
1920; II per cent for 1917, and 80
per cent for 1914. Receipts from bust
ness licenses consist chiefly of taxes
exacted from insurance and other in
corporated companies, while those
from non business licenses comprise
taxes on motor vehicles and amounts
paid for hunting and fishing privi-
leges.
The net Indebtedness funded and
floating debt less sinking fund assets
Of Idaho is increasing, being $S.05 per
capita for 1920; $3.50 for 1917, and
s3,93 for 1914.
In nearly all states the property
subject to the general property taxes
varies in the reported basis of asses
rent, though in most instances the
au requires that property be assess
"a at full market value. For this rea-
,nn the b.st measure of cost to the |
owner is the percapita tax
evy. The FER capita levy for I1aho
or 1920 was $7.12.

WON IN ROUGH
GAME
Contest Was a Slugging Match
-Payette Charged With
Questionable Tactics.

The American Legion basketball
team was defeated by the Battery
quintet at Payette Tuesday night BY
a score of SO to 81. 1t is charged
that the Payette players were brutal
in their roughness and resorted to
| slugging that would make a prize
fight look like Sunday school pic
| mic in comparison. Howard Gray was
put to sleep three times during the
game by the knockout route. II the
following report as furnished to The
Index by spectator is true, and we
have no reason to doubt it, the victory
is anything but complimentary to the
Payette players or the company they
represent:
The Emmett Legion basketball
team went to Payette for a return
game with the 148th Field Artillery
team Tuesday night. The boys came
home with the small end of 80 to 81
SCORE. The game was hot one from
start to finish and resembled football
rather than basketball Payette has
good team, although they are
rather rough, but they also have re-,
feree who has got old Kaiser Bill
cheated clear off the map.
There were somewhere near twen-
ty fouls called on the Emmett boys,
while only one was called on Payette.
Baskets that the guards shoot this
year evidently don't count, as Brown
lie shot one and Scotty one that were
never recorded. Howard Gray, was
f. O.'d for the count three times dur
ing the game. Both Bobs were going
good all the time and tubing the ball
in from all angles, but they simply
could not beat the referee.
The last time Gray was knocked
out, there we're four and one-half min
utes to play and the score was 81 to
% in favor of Emmett. After that
Emmett made two field goals and |
Payette three. But when the score
was totalled up, Emmett was two
points to the bad.
We think Promoter Collins would /
do well to match these teams in the
near future at his gym, as it would
make a much better scrap than any
ne has pulled for some time.

Hyatt Attacks Statement.

Byron E. Hyatt, director of the
bureau Of public accounts, takes ex-
ception to the above statement. He
asserts the figures are million dol
lars in excess of the true cost of state
government. He says state insurance
investment disbursements, capitol
construction costs, redemption of
treasury notes, apportionment to
counties for school purposes, appor-
tionments to state institutions from
endowment fund earnings, federal
forest reserve funds and sundry fed
eral trust funds apportioned to speci-
fled objects, amounting to over 3
million dollars, should not be included
in cost of government. Expendi-
lures for highway construction, a
to nearly 2 million dollars,
should not be included either, he
claims, and places the actual cost of
state government at s2,056,342. But
what's the difference The moneys
included in the government statement
have to be raised and appear in the
taxpayers bill.

Farm Rurean Drive.

The Gem County Farm Bureau is
conducting membership drive and
many of the farmers are enrolling as
members. Upon the result of the
drive will probably depend whether
or not the Bureau will be continued
another year. If the farmers want it
and show that they do, the business
interests will be pleased to give their
support. There is no question as to
its usefulness. That has been demon
strated.

VIII America Pay Cansda's Debts,

The Province of Quebec in Canada
made net profit of 100000 in 1921
out of the liquor business: the gov
ernment of British Columbia made
about 100000 from the same
source, and expects to increase its
earnings to $4,000, 900 this year. These
profits come very largely out of the
pockets of thirsty Americans who
cross the border to buy liquor and
those who purchase supplies in the
United States from rum runners
in the goods from Canada. Export
business to the United States repre-
sents the larger share. The financial
condition and credit Of the two pro-
vinces named have improved material
ly since they went into the liquor
business. If the trade and profits
continue to grow, the provinces will
be able to pay off this entire indebt-
edness from the proceeds.
