Another Mortgage

"1f that 10 mill levy isn't enough
to beat the Progressive County COM
missioners this fall, don't know what
could do it." widely known Canyon
county farmer remarked in The
Tribune Office this week
Developments in connection with
that levy warrant that opinion. The
fact is being constantly borne home
TO Canyon county taxpayers that the
levy was not necessary. Canyon
county never was insolvent. There
never was a time when outstanding
delinquent taxes did not exceed the
warrant Indebtedness. That certainly
is not insolvency.
While one result OF that special
warrant redemption levy has been the
reduction of the outstanding warrant
Indebtedness, il has greatly swelled
the delinquent tax due the county
from harrassed taxpayers. AS
Farmer Du Much" so we'll put it in
The Tribune last week, that special
levy is nothing less than a first
mortgage on the county.
1t was not necessary TO vote bonds
to retire the outstanding warrants
Nothing but spite prompted the
county commissioners to plaster that
10 mill levy on Canyon citizens.
There was never an economic and
justihable reason for il except that the
law said it should be done. No Law,
however. oontemplates robbery. And
that. il is increasingly clear from
figures TIE court house machine
proudly wave, has been the exact net
result OF that 10 mill levy.

step. This is not the time to tamper
with machinery, particularly when il
is functioning well. And Idaho has
been given the best of state govern
ment under Governor Moore. Taxes
have been reduced, state business has
been conducted on a safe and sane
basis while state institutions have not
been permitted TO suffer from any
historical idea OF false economy. No
flyers have been taken in the field OF
popular g overnmenta reforms
which are being daily discredited in
states where they have been tried.
And yet this is the sort OF stuff
that The Free Press feels called upon
TO say:
Ii is safe to say that not 20
per cent of the people of Idaho
are satisfied with the present adj
ministration and its utter failure
to keep the promises made to the
voters two years ago. That be-
ing the case, how can the people
of Idaho expect any improvement
by rejecting the entire state
house bunch: Every man and
woman now holding state Office
under the republican administra-
ton, has been renominated by the
Republicans. Can, or will. "the
leopard change his spots?' Does
any one believe that If the Re
publican administration is given
the endorsement of the voters OF
Idaho it will give any better adj
ministration in the next two years
than it has in the past two? 1t
will think, and justly, too. that
its administration has been en-
tirely satisfactory and will see
no need for a change and no
change or improvement will be
made.
Such criticism is just plain bosh.
Even the most casual reader will be
struck at once with the fact that The
Free Press must feel hopelessly at sea
because il was forced to resort to
Wild generalities and vagaries. Where
re the things which The Free Press
.ibly says have Disguised and disap-
'ointed 80 per cent OF Idaho's citizens?

'ress will be dissillusioned when the
allots are counted if, indeed, The

Since there is quite rumor in

is divided to such an extent that we

Of Modern Glass

1t must be admitted even by the
most rabid prohibitionist that wine,
liquors. champagne and other
Intoxicating drinks now under the
ban in the United States, have
contributed probably more than
any other medium to develop that
part Of the glass industry which
made a speciality of turning out
goblets and drinking glasses, beauti-
fully shaped, artistically engraved
and colored.
Solomon said: who hath red.
ness OF eyes? They that tarry
long at the wine; they that go to
seek mixed wine. Look not thou
upon the wine when 1t is red, when
it giveth his color in the cup"
Since the time Of the wise man
who lived a thousand years before
Christ, glass cups have been in use,
for they were used in marriage
ceremonies amongst the ancient
Hebrews. The high priest present
ed to the husband and wife a cup
filled with wine, which,, after they
had both slipped from it, was
broken to atoms. symbolizing the
fragility Of human nature.
The struggle between gold and
crystal goblets and glass was long
and stubborn. Some adherents of
glass wished that the purple glass
cups, which were made at Diospolit
and Alexandria should be ex.
clusively adopted in sacrifices or
feasts, whilst others voted for those
of which Vopicus speaks in the
Life OF Saturninus, and which were
made in Egypt in various colors.
Pliny says, mo material Is more
easily handled, or takes colors better;
but the most esteemed is .colorlass
and transparent glass, because 1t
resembles crystal. 1t has even STU
perseded metal drinking cups"
The use of drinking glasses,
which the Romans doubtless re-
ceived from a more ancient nation,
soon spread throughout Europe, aud
to such a degree that glass work =
became very numerous. Glass
might be divided into three distinct
branches: German, Bohemian and
Venetian and French class. Ger
man glasses of a greenish or yellow
ish color, are generally of u cylln-
drical shape. An enamelled paint
ing is nearly always to be found
on the outside, representing either
portraits or German coats-of.arms.
The glass of Bohemia, now called
Czecho-Slovakia, is certainly among
the finest made. Although IN
order to display Its quality and
clearness, 1t seldom has any exter-
nal color, 1t has style Of ornament
which is peculiar to itself, NJ. La.
barte saying about this glass
From the commencement CT the
seventeenth century. certain glass
manufacturers in Bohemia pro-
duced vases Of a correct shape en-
riched with engraved ornaments,
representing scenes and frequently
portraits. Distinguished artists
were employed in Germany and
Italy, in spite of the fragility of
the material to decorate these vases
in imitation of those in rock crys-
tai, with ornaments and arabes-
ques, remarkable for their artistic
beauty"

G. 0. P.PLATFORM
NOT ENTIRELY TO
LIKING OF GOVERNOR

Commenting many planks of the
Republican platform adopted at the
State convention at Portland Thurs
day and expressing his opinion that
the adoption of the State committees
suggestion for a Convention en-
dorsement Of candidates" would have
beeen most unfortunate, Governor
Baxter issued a statement Friday in
response to a request to give his
opinion Of the Republican convention
and platform. The statement was
as follows:
II hesitate to express my opinion
on the platform, but when asked to
do so cannot decline. In many ways
the platform was adequate and in
others l think the opportunity was
missed to take more forward posi-
ton.
President Coolidge
Il was especially pleased that the
Convention instructed the delegates
for President Coolidge. Although this
has not been customary in the past,
the sentiment is so overwhelmingly
for the President that think it will
help materially to let the rest of the
country know just how Maine stands.
Direct Primary
"The platform is to be commended
as much for what it did not say as
for what it contained. L refer partic-
ularly to the Direct Primary. The
State Committee suggestion for a
Convention Endorsement of candi-
dates would have been an entering
wedge to return to the old system of
nominations. In my opinion this

Wins Victory in
French Chamber

Paris, April (By y. P.)-Premier
Poincare's new government, evident
ly much stronger in the chamber Of
deputies than the ole, one which fell
last week, today VIGOROUSLY with
stood a determined opposition at
lacks on the pensions bill which
caused it's predecessors downfall.
The vote was 1927 to POI in favor Of
the government.
The offensive was launched with
the same weapons, along similar
lines and under the same conditions
as that of last week, when the cham
Der overthrow the cabinet by O vote
of 271 TO 264. AS was the case last
week, Premier Poincare was absent
from the chamber, minister of Fin
ance Francois Marsal assuming the
burden of responsibility as had NJ.

He also adopted the same uncom-
promising attitude, refusing to yield
even on matter Of detail, and was
evidently DESTROYS of either smash
ing the opposition or going down in
defeat.
The pensions question, always a
dangerous one in parliament and es-
pecially now a few weeks before
election, provided a fine opportunity
for the opposition but the new cab

now appears certain that 1t will carry
on until the dissolution Of parlia-
