new PUBLICATION
MAKES FIRST BOW
"THE BLUE BUCKET" DISTRI-
BUTED ON CAMPUS MAGAZINE
MAKES BIG HIT.

The first issue of 1.-The Blue
Bucket" new literary magazine pub
lished by the English club of the Uni
yersity of Idaho, has made its ap-
pearance on the campus. The maya
zine is named after the blue wooden
buckets which used to swing beneath
the covered wagons of the pioneers
who came westward over the old Ore
gon trail.
In 1916 a party of emigrants re-
ported that somewhere between the
Snake and John Day>~vers they had
seen gold nuggets in quantity enough
to fill one of their blue buckets. The
statement gave rise to a romantic
legend about the lost Blue Bucket
Nine" and it held sufficient power to
cause prospectors to search for it
fruitlessly for years. In the north
west the Blue Bucket mine has be-
come symbol of something lost
beyond the ranges, of an eternal
quest" and the spirit which prompted
the pioneers to search for it will be
preserved in the magazine.

some, and the amount allowed them
for help to run their offices was also
cut. These cuts were the cause of
nearly all the trouble of the joint
committee. Every person whose sal
airy was cut had friends in both
houses, and these friends took up the
fight, but the line up in both houses
behind the governors program of
economy was strong enough to carry
all the cuts through with single
exception.
Latah Men With Administration
The delegation from Latah county
lined up with the administration in
both houses. This placed the house
members in the minority in their
body. Had the administration forces
succeeded in organizing the house
Mr. Hagan would have been chosen
speaker, distinct recognition of his
ability, he being new member.
Handicapped as they were, however,
the two Latah county members sue
ceeded in putting through some very
good legislation. If they had done
nothing else but pass house joint me-
mortal number three, their choice to
represent Latah county in the house
would have been justified. This was
the start of the movement for fix
ing the price of wheat, and was fol-
lowed up by the action of Senator
Gooding in congress, which will re-
suit in definite action by the federal
government at the coming session
without much doubt
University Pride of State
The educational institutions of the
state were taken care of by the legis-
10 1,r could houQ hoQr
pected considering the call for reduc-
ton in expenditures. Among these
institutions the University of Idaho
is the pride of the entire state, its
only institution of higher education,
and it's needs were considered as para
mount to the other institutions. The
amount of appropriations given it for
its work here and in all other parts
of the state was $78,540.45 in excess
of the appropriation of two years ago,
but counting the amount given for vo-
catiOnal education, and civilian re-
which would add $35, 900
more. In addition to this amount for
levy was made for
new buildings and improvements at
five of the educational institutions,
which it is estimated will raise $780, |
900 in the next two years. Of this |
amount the university is given 55 per
cent for the building of a new science
building. This amount is to be raised |
by a levy of three eighths of a mill |
on the property of the state for the !
years 1928 and 1924. This is the only |
mill levy bill authorized by the leg |
stature this year. At the last session |
a levy of nine tenths of mill was
made for the years 1921 and 1922 to |
provide funds for road work on state
roads. This was cut out this year,
and in its place a tax of two cents
4 gallon was levied on gasolene for
state road purposes, on the principle

CAR PLUNGES into

gulch, two miles below Charleston, al
8 p. m. today, it is believed that Will
liam H. Abel, age 81, Lewiston taxi
line owner, drowned in the Snake
river. The car is in several feet of
water, about eight feet from the
shore line. The river in the vicinity
of the car is being dragged tonight.
John Archer, a road worker, heard
the crash when the car took it's 80
foot plunge into the rocks at the
river edge and fastened to the scene.
He found Abel's hat a few feet from
the river and an auto cushion. Both
front wheels of the car were wrecked
and the doors were open. Many theo-
ries are advanced, one being that af-
ter the car plunged into the river,
Abel endeavored to reach shore and
drowned. Archer states that when
the car passed him there was blind
ing dust storm.
Mr.. Abel was among the early set
tiers on the Nez Perez prairie, hand
ling a farm there many years. His
taxi stand in Lewiston was at the
Temple poolhall. Workers at the
poolhall state that Abel had been
respondent for couple of days and
complained about poor business.
Friends believe that he had become
demented as the result OF this worry

FOUR PARTIES In
IDAHO LEGISLATURE

sideration at their hands was based
all the appropriations as passed by
/ the legislature effecting the items
mentioned in the budget. The bud
| get system is a great improvement
on the old system, and while the
present system of budgeting the items
of expenditure is very faulty and
should be improved on at once, the
system itself has come to stay in
Idaho, and is good thing for the
state and the tax payers.
In conformity with. his watchword
of economy, Governor Moore made
cuts in appropriations, made CONSOLE
dations in offices, and abolished
offices enough, to provide a total saw
ing to the tax payers of the state
of the sum of $825,834.59 The Joint
committee of appropriations and fin
ance, following the governors lead,
made further cuts, consultations and
Establishments which effected a total

were other appropriations made, how
ever, by separate bills, for items not
appearing in the budget book, and
so not controlled by the joint COM
mittee, which provided for a further
expenditure of money amounting to
ST. POI. AS net. This left the total net
saving to the state the sum of $685.
297.66 less than was expended in the
1922 biennium. The action of the
joint committee in making cuts after
the governor had cut so deeply, had
one happy effect so far as the ad-

with credit for making the greatest
cuts, and with practically no blame.
This is as it should be, and l think
every member of the joint committee
Is proud of the share he had in this
work. One feature of the appropria-
ions as made may be worth mention
ing, and that is the small amount of
deficiencies needed to be taken care
If at this session as compared with
prior ones. The amount coming up |
his year was less than at any time |
or the last twenty years. The amount |
appropriated two years ago was $780, |
1924, while this year but $54 ,289.51 |

43,902.18 was for deficiencies in the |

$7O,O0O,OoO INCOME
TAX GAIN REPORTED
Secretary Mellon Would Cut Surtaxes
to IS Per Cent-Sees More
Revenue Thereby.

Washington, April 8. - Secretary
Mellon declared that S70,OOO,000 in
crease In income tax collections for
March, 1923, over March, 1922. with
the maximum surtax rate reduced to
80 per cent, has thoroughly indicated
him for urging congress to reduce sur
taxes to maximum of % per cent.
In a statement Analysing the returns
this year under the revised law Secre-
tary Mellon points out how the low er
tax rates on big incomes operate to
increase rather than decrease revenue,
and reiterates his recommendation
that the surtax maximum, reduced last
year from 65 to 90 per cent, should
be still further reduced to % per cent.
Revenue revision" Secretary Mel
lon said, presents a practical prob
lem, and what has already been ac-
compllshed indicates the practical an
swer and shows clearly what course
further revision should take.
There is no point in maintaining
high rates of taxation which do not
produce revenue, and there is no
doubt that the high income tax rates
still in effect are gradually defeating
their own purpose and creating arti-
fetal conditions that hamper business
and industry and reduce the volume
of income subject to taxation"
Mr.. Mellon announced that the total
collections for March were $463, 0OO,-
600, as compared with 1898, 100000 in
March, 1922. He then said that the
combined normal and surtax rate this
year is 5S per cent, whereas 1t was
73 per cent in 1922. He further
pointed out that the new law contained
no excess profit tax, although impos-
ing as partial substitute 2h per
cent fiat additional tax on the net In
comes of corporations.

j. s. STEEL CORP.
INCREA Asses WAGES
Three Independents Follow Lead
In Raising LaborerS' Pay.
OTHER EMPLOYEES AFFECTED
Order to Subsidiaries for II Per Cent
Boost Applies to Common Labor
and other Glasses In
Proportion.

New York, April 10.-The' o. S. Steel
corporation instructed its subsidiary
companies to effect an IL per cent adj
vance in the wages Of their common
labor April 49, This was quickly fol-
lowed by similar action on the part OF
the Jones & Laughlin Steel corpora
ton, one of the largest Independent
manufacturers of steel, the Republic
Iron and Steel company, and the Beth
lehem corporation, and announcements
were forthcoming that the manage
ments of the other independent steel
mills are considering like action.
Others 20 Get More.
The proportional readjustment of the
pay of other classes Of labor, also or
dered by the steel corporation. means
that virtually all its employees will
share the increase. They are esti-
mated to number between 235,OOO and
100000. On the basis of the 1922 wage
bill, it is estimated that the resulting
addition to the payroll may reach $4O,-
100000 yearly.
The announcement of the change
has been expected for some time in
financial and tradexcircles.
From the Cunarder "Mauretania,"
two days out from Cherbourg, Judge
Ebert III. Gary, chairman of the board
of directors, sent the following state
ment by radio:
Gary's Statement.
sit has been recommended ITO the
presidents of the subsidiary companies
OF the United States Steel corporation
that the wage rates Of day labor at
their plants be increased about IL per
cent and that other wage rates in the
manufacturing plants be equitably
adjusted, to become effective April 16,
1928"
Following the established precedent,
the Independent steel manufacturing
companies are expected to advance
their wage scales in similar amount.
The general advance in steel wages
was foreshadowed oy increases effected
by few small companies and by re-
cent reports from the Pittsburgh, Mo-
nongahela, and Chicago districts set
ting forth the growing seriousness of
the labor situation.

AMERICAN LEADS VITAL RAID
General Prout, Formally With the

Charge of District-De
Valera Escaped.
AMERICAN LEADS VITAL RAID

Dublin, April 11.-Liam Lynch, chief
of staff of the irregular forces wound
ed and captured by Free state troops,
died Tuesday night.
Lynch was captured at Knockna-
salem, near New Castle, after an en-
gagement in which he was seriously
wounded in the abdomen
canon De Valera, the Countess
Markievicz and others prominent in
the republican movement, are reported
to have been with Lynch when he was
shot.
A dispatch received at army head
quarters from Clonmel said they are
believed to have successfully evaded
pursuit.
See Collapse Of Rebels.
The capture of Lynch is regarded
here as heralding the final collapse of
the irregulars. Lynch was a dominant
figure in its army councils. He had a
powerful influence over De Valera,
with whom he worked in concert.
They virtually constituted the repub-
lican directorate.
When gaps were caused by the cap
ture of his men, Lynch always was
able promptly to fill their places. His
assistant was Liam Deasy, who, after
he was arrested some time ago and
the death sentence imposed upon him,
issued an appeal for peace. Deasy's
place was filed by Con Moloney, who
was recently captured
Voted Down Peace Proposals.
Lynch then found another man Of
his temper to take Moloney's place,
and both Lynch and this man voted
at the recent army meeting against
the peace proposals of the Most Rev.
John Harry, archbishop of Cashel.
General Prout, formerly an officer
with the American army in France, is
in command of the area where Mr..
Lynch was captured.
