What Political Parties Promise

Following is the complete text o.
the five big pianks IN the platform
Taxation.
Taxation In Idaho has reached the
point whore many communities OF
the state are excessively burdened
This load has been due largely to the
demand OF the people themselves for
better schools. better roads and lux
urious municipal improvements. In
many instances the taxes have been
self-impOsed by direct vote OF the
people. authorizing issuance OF large
amounts OF bonds OF various kinds.
for various purposes. In times OF
prosperity the people have voted OBJ
legations upon themselves which
have become real burdens IN times
OF financial depression. and Idaho Is
now forcibly reminded that Il Is
large. sparsely-popuiated state. only
partially developed and possesses
comparatively little taxable wealth.
We favor frank realization that we
cannot az present have the complex
agencies and conyeniences OF govern
ment. be they ever so desirable. OF
older and weslihier states. We pledge
ourselves 10 close supervision OF all

~ and municipal. shall be reduced TO
actual necessities
We favor amending the laws 30
that the maximum which the vari- /

reduced and that any adj

TELLTALE LINES ON HANDS
According 10 Authority on Nervous
Diseases, Idiots Have Marks Quite
Definitely Designed.

We have often condemned as swim
dlers the Gypsy fortune telIers who
read our destinies in our hands. But.
according to the latest researches of
Professor Poll, which he communicate
ed to the Berlin Society for Psychol-
ogy and Nervous Diseases, there are
to be found on the fingers of idiots
quite definite designs made up of fine
lines. These designs, according to
Polls examination of 1900 mentally
diseased and 1900 mentally healthy
persons, seem to result from the COM
binatiOn of definite dactylograms of
the ancestors of normal persons.
That means, from the union Of two
persons whose finger lines show the
characteristic signs, that there may,
under certain conditions, come off
spring idiOcy. 1t will therefore be
well for the maiden to look, not as
formerly at the face Of her chosen
idol, but rather at his fingers and
he who wants to bestow his "hand"
upon maiden will above all want to
search for the suspicious lines on her
hand. 1t will also be possible TO tell
ss,a q fseo-s mss .sra Crs..-k sassS
parents from the CHARACTERISTIC dactyl
ograms whether they will have off
spring with the finger lines denotine
idiocy-if this should not be perceived
otherwise.-New York Tribune.

Government Efficiency

Taxes have doubled in the past
10 years, and probably much more
than that, when you figure on war
expenditure. And yet many things
that should be done can't be attended
to, owing to lack of funds. More
money is needed for roads, for
schools and many other purposes.
Where shall the discouraged taxpayer
find the money for the things he
actually needs?
The people of Iowa should realize
that the development of the country
will be checked unless the efficiency
of private business can be made the
rule in public affairs. There are
special difficulties in public work, but
politicians who can't provide reason
-aerrSfe he retired to
private life.
No man should be elected or ap.
pointed merely because he claims
he can do this or that Candidates
who have not demonstrated business
ablity in the past can't usually give
the public what it needs, no matter
how we'll they can talk or how nice
fellows they are.

CORN IN THE FORTIES
Some Large Ears That Paid For a
London Dinner Party.

Apropos of the immense yield of
corn this year, the following may be
of interest to our readers. My
grandfather, Evan Griffith, who was
in London in 1S47, the year Of the
Irish Famine, told this story:
Going into the banking office of
Barring Bros, Mr.. Bates, the Ameri-
can partner of the firm, said that
at a dinner given by Lord John Rus
sci the conversation turned to. the
Irish Famine and the relief givensby
the United States; then to the mar
velous products Of the states. Lord
John said he had heard that maize
or Indian corn was grown with as
many as II to Il rows to the ear.
Mr.. Bates said he had seen as many
as 20, and there was a general laugh.
Mr.. Bates said that they might
laugh but he would wager a dinner
to the company that he would prove
Ills ClSSeIllOls LOlu JOLlu >dlu,
Done" Mr. Bates asked my grand
father what he thought about it. My
grandfather told him that he was
quite safe, and when he returned to
New York he wrote to Rogers &
Reynolds, the largest grain export
ers in the Wabash Valley (where at
that time our greatest harvests were
grown, telling them of the wager
and begging them for the honor of
the states to come to the rescue. In
due course he received a handsome
brass mounted oak box in which were
six ears of corn of the variety called
horse tooth. Two ears had Is, two
80 and two 80 rows. The box with
its contents was forwarded to Mr..
Bates. Lord John Russell gave the
dinner, and, as Henry j. Raymond
expressed it in his account in the
New York Times, Acknowledged
the Corn" The corn was placed in
the British muSeum.-Stuart W.
Griffith in New York Times.
