The Statesman and its satel
lites headed by the Capital News,
are endeavoring to make big
political capital out of a letter
written by Hon. J. F. Nugent to
members of the state central
committee. Their effort to dis
rupt the progressives in this
state will accomplish nothing.
'Mr. Nugent, although the ac
knowledged leader of democracy
in Idaho, has a right to give his
personal views on questions of
importance. The opponents of
the progressive element in the
democratic party in Idaho who
are supporting Harmon are the
bankers, the men iuvolved in the
lumber or sheep business and
their agents,—in fact the inter
ests— and who wonld not sup
port any progressive candidate
on either party. Therefore the
sooner they are relegated to the
rear in party management the
better it will be for all.
.. ,i -
Mr. Nugent is right in the
stand he has taken and will get
the hearty support of all fair
minded democrats.
- irjrr—
Judge Carl A. Davis makes de
cision that county commission
ers have no power to reduce the
five mill school levy. This ques
tion will go to the higher court.
If this decision is sustained more
revenue will be raised for school
purposes than needed for the
present year, 1 Rs the assessment
valuatioBa arehigher than here
tofore. However the money will
not be löst or wasted and the
next legislature can remedy the
law in that particular as they
should have done before, as rec
ommended by the Governor in
his messages.
An effort is being made by the
reactionary element in the demo
cratic party, assisted by the
same element in the republican
party to boost Harmon, of Ohio,
for the next democratic candi
date. The effort will be in vain,
as the progressive democrats all
over the country will unite on
either Wilson, Clark, or Falk
and control the next convention.
Hawley's Tax Scheme Right
The work of equalizing taxa
tion so that the small taxpayer
will pay only his just proportion
of taxes is not finished; it is just
begun. Governor Hawley needs
the support of every honest citi
zen in the further good work of
giving a just system of taxation
to every taxpayer in the state.
Wé have confidence enough in
the fairness of the average citizen
to believe that he will now have
this support. Commenting on
the success of the governor's
work, we quote from the North
ern Idaho News:
"
"To say, however, that the
fight that Governor Hawley has
made, and in the state at large
the fighting has been done al
most entirely by him, it has
merely not injured the taxpayers
is not saying very much, and it
would be a poor recommendation
is that were all. But it isn't.
He has given the state what is
conceded to be the most equit
able assessment it has ever had.
It is not a perfect assessment; it
is not a cash value assessment,
but it is the best the state has
ever had, and it is a long step
toward a reform in taxation
that Idaho has needed for many
a day.
"Not only is the property of
the state assessed nearer to its
actual value and not only are
the several classes of property
equalized to bear more nearly
their just share of taxation, but
the assessors of the various
counties have been given to
understand that the day is
when each assessor may estab
lish any basis he pleases when he
values the property. Every coun
ty in the state has a right to
expect that every other county
shall be assessed on the
basis as itself, and it is the duty
of the state board to see that
that is done. It is not likely
that since Governor Hawley's
courageous stand future state
boards will fail to do this simple
act of justice. Moreover, Bonner
county experiences the new and :
novel sensation of seeing the
railroads brought to something
near their true relation with
other property.
Idaho will never slip back in
to the old go-as-you-please style
of assessing property,
work remains to be done, but the j
biggest fight has been won."—

Much
California has a law that Idaho
should do well to follow if the
wholsale pardoning system is to
remain in force.
There, life
prisoners who attempt to escape,
are by law sentenced to hang,
thus effectually putting a qui
etus on the escape or the at
tempt to escape. The only chan
ge in the law in this state should
be that whenever any life termer
is pardoned, the pardon board
should be hanged, for according
to the number of pardons grant
ed this year the pardon board
should be charged with bemg ac
cessory to the escape of a large
number of undesirables from the
pen at Boise.—Twin Falls Times.
It is talk, good sensible news
paper talk, that counts for your
community and brings in money
for investment. So tell the print
er about that bumper crop yield.
Just learu to do some talking
for your own dear self and for
home, sweet home.
H» Worried the Judge.
A story was recently told of the elder
Judge Peckham, father of the supreme
court Justice. In the early days of
dentistry a hickory plug was put Into
the cavity to fill the space where a
tooth ought to be. This plug had to
be gently pounded Into its desired po
sition. The old judge was somewhat
addicted to strong language, and when
the dentist began bis wor kthe judge
Indulged In some classic comment. As
the tapping of the plug continued he
threw all dignity to the four winds of
heaven, and his language became de
cidedly "more forcible than elegant."
When, however, be arose from the
chair after what seemed to him an
interminable period of agony he pulled
out all the stops in his vocabulary for
a grand climax. The impression on
his listener seems to have been deep
and lasting. As the judge passed out
the dentist grtmly remarked to a wait
tng patient:
"Wasn't It beautiful? It wasn't real
ly necessary to pound half so long,
but I did so enjoy bis Inflection that 1
almost pounded the hickory plug Into
splinters. Wonderful command of
language the judge has!"—Case and
Comment.
