The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1892-11-05

KNOW.
A very misleading circular has lately
been published, intended to influence
the citizens who, by their votes are to
decide whether or not the county of
Canyon shall be formed.
This circular was signed by nobody
dated from nowhere, and sent from
Boise City.
ADVANTAGES.
To the question on the first page:
"What would be gained by forming the
county of Canyon?" Every intelligent
citizen who has investigated the matter
will answer, "Many good things"
Good government, reduced expendi-
lures, and greater convenience will re-
suit. Such results have followed every
county division in Idaho. In every
lease where no abnormal conditions
operated taxation for purely county
purposes was reduced. Among abnor-
|mal conditions have been unusual trials
resulting in heavy court expenses.
SMALL COUNTIES.
Experience shows that small counties
tend to decrease jobbery. naisgule, care
|lessness, inattention to the real wants of
the citizens and the true needs of the
community. A small county is better
understood and watched by the people
than large one. Crime is circum-
|scribed and repressed with more vigor;
office is sought less for the Doodle and
more for the good Of the people and
honor attached.
RINGS AND BOODLERS.
Rings are less likely to dominate
THE politics of such counties
is this true of counties
In aDhich there are no large toao,is and
in which the population is evenly dis
|tributed over the territory as is the case
Pin the proposed county of Canyon.
Equal and exact justice to all citizens
is more likely to result, because all are
|at hand to guard and watch.
Tax payers and voters, don't be mis-
led by falseend prejudiced statements.
ALLOW your Common sense to rule your
action at the polls on next Tuesday.
Decide the question of county division
by the criterion of RIGHT. Vote for
division because you believe it to be
right and because it will reduce yours
and your 7aeighbor's tdces and add to
PIE convenience of business tranSGc-
|tions.
BOSSES FALSE ESTIMATES.
The statements prepared by Boise
parties, relative to taxation and current
expenses for the first year in the pro-
posed new county of Canyon are false.
Consider:
In 1888, the total Expenses for
all county purposes in Ada
county were .......... $3I,J4I ~
IN 1889, the total expenses tor
all county purposes in Ada
county were. ....,... 41,0os AZ
IN 1880, the total expenses for
all county purposes in Ada
county were.. 40,oUt W
IN 1891, the current expenses
alone less than. -. ...:.... 4OOQU %
IN 1892, "a very expensive
year, the current expenses,
including assessors treasur-
er's, sheriff's and probate
fees reported and deputy
salaries allowed, was. 49,. 48,O82 80
Win tho current expenses alone IN
canyon county exceed the carrent ec-
penses Of Ada county, Every sane
man knows that they will not. and
ought not to be more than one-third rs
much. Yet, the Boise statement would
make them to exceed the totgl egpe''ses
IN Ada county for the first three years
slven-the latest years for which off,
cal figures are published--and would
make them exceed the average current
expenses for the last two years years
In which current expenses have been
exceedingly high.
