The above summary is given because
the fatherless statement from Boise
falsiies and misrepresents the amount
OF items and sets them forth as the
actual entire cost. Economical
and business like management,
such as the people Of the proposed
county can and will give, insure
greatly reduced taxation.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
As for the school question. Don't be
deceived by the seeming spirit of liber-
ality and tender solicitude apparent in
their circular.
The people who are most interested
in defeating division are the bitter en-
emies of the provision of our laws re-
garding the distribution of school
funds. They tried to defeat the law
when passed, and their candidates for
the legislature are all pledged for its
repeal. The law will not operate longer
than the following winter. The fact is
the county has received its last benefits
from this law.
Boise, Moscow, Pocatello, HALEY, and
cities of like influence are working for
its overthrow.
Those who are acquainted with the
situation, who know the condition Of
our common school fund and are famil-
lar with the provisions of the school
law will not be misled. They will not
hazard the greater perpetual advant-
ages to be gained by division, for the
mere possibility that the cities may fail
in their avowed efforts to repeal. Then,
too, it is only question of few years
when the school taxes will be eliminat-
ed from the lists. The income from
the public school fund of the state will
maintain the schools of the state. And
should our present law as to apportion-
ment continue, there are several dis
tricts in the proposed county that will
pay tribute to the country, indeed some
of them do now, and that tribute will
increase annually with the increasing
prosperity of your home towns. Every
district in which there are over ~ pu-
pills isnow paying tribute to the smaller.
COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS,
The statement on page three which
shows the indebtedness of Ada county
to be $4,000, and which presumes to
say Canyon county would have to pay a
proportionate amount of this debt &C.
cording to the valuation of the two
counties is on par with the rest of
their lying.
See section 5 and of the Canyon
county act which was signed March 9TH,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-11-05

Basing the estimate upon the condi-
lions that obtain in Canyon county and
the laws governing, the items Of cur
rent expense tabulated in the fatherless
circular from Boise should be for the
first year as follows:

And Canyon county will have

to begin business with of. S 1898 90
Their statement: GAS prescribed ty
law Canyon county would be indebt-
ed to Ada county in the sum Of
$22,O45.47" is absolutely false and in
tended only to mislead.
The statement we have made is reas-
enable. There is no guess eoork about
1t and no perversiOn of the truth which
everywhere bristles in the lying docu-
ment to which we have called attention.
WHERE ARE WE BOUND.
In conclusion we beg only to call the
attention of the voters of Canyon
county to these facts:
Less than two years ago Ada county
had nearly SIS. 900 in the treasury and
NO floating debt.
Today under the management of
county affairs controlled by Boise City
we have NO money in the treasury and
a floating debt of $4,000.
Over SS5, 900 of debt incurred in less
than two years, after spending all of
the immense revenue raised by taxation
amounting to over $4,000 in the past
two years.
We ask what will our condition be in
the next five years If we are to remain
with Ada county?
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
Again they offer the argument: "We
are perfectly willing that you should
form county of your own when the
time comes but it is too early now"
What do they mean by this? Moth
ing more than that it. they defeat this
.dirisfon. they can compel as to pay a
portion Of this immense debt sohich
they cannot do If zoe leape them no,o.

accounting between the two counties

county sho,oa at that time, and will take
its share Of the county property consist.

and other Improvements on the block of

stands, and the tract of land consisting
ct one hundred and sixty acres and
improvements thereon known as the
"poor farm" of Ada county.
On May 18th, 1891, there was in the
treasury $l4,4OO.
FLOATING DEBT.
There was no floating indebtedness.
and the bonded indebtedness was
1857 200, of this Canyon Co. will assume
its just share and no more.
Any Indebtedness created by Ada
county since May z, 1891, will have to
be paid by Ada county, and no portion
OF it can be saddled on Canyon county.
This will be found to be the secret
reason why Boise City is fighting the
division so hard.
They want the tax payers of Canyon
county to help them pay off the great
debt of Ada county contracted within
the last year and half by wanton ex-
travagance and unblushing misuse OF
the county's funds. This debt now
amounts to over $4,000 and they
know that If the county is divided
they cannot make us help pay it.
APPoRTIoNMENr.
Now what is our just proportion?
We find Ada county's total to be
$5,O32,OOO. Canyon county's valuation
is $1.Sl6,OOO.
In other words Canyon county win
have trifle over one-fourth the total
valuation, and will have to assume
little over one-fourth the debt of Ada
county and will receive little over
one fourth the assets.
