l am glad to note in this article,

Prospective investors in any com
munity examine closely the amount
of tax levy. They consider the
amount of capital they will invest and
compute the taxes from this and the
established rate and such rate as we
find here in Idaho often prevents
their coming. Ninety-niue men out
Of hundred look TO the rate and not
the valuation when investigating the
subject OF taxes in city, county or
state, and when the aggregate of
values are unproportionately small as
compared to the rate, outsiders con-
slider it a good place to stay away
from. Idaho is q state of future
development, we cannot afford tc
send out notice of excessive taxation,
but that is just what we are doing
with our No. 3 rate and No.
valuation. All this shows the assets
of the state to the worst advantage,
something that should not be done SC
long as we are inviting immigration.
The best possible display of the states
wealth should be made and this is mo-
done by such valuation as was haC
last year. We hope, for the gooC
impression it will create outside tn,
state, that something near an actua
cash valuation will be adopted. -

Do you notice that Washington
county ranks fourth on the list in the
value of crops per acre, and that
Bingham county with crop value of
only 1881 per acre to our $15. SO
has 40, 1913 acres under irrigation to
our 6, 1888? What comparison in
the energy of the tive counties? Will
the people in this vincinity profit by
their neighbor's example and made
an effort to bring the 20, 900 acres
surrounding Weiser under irrigation
and into productive prominence?

1t is said that the late Senator
Plumb was a paying subscriber to
every newspaper in Kansas. Upon
the matter he said:
~ believe in the local newspapers
They are the makers, the leaders Of
public sentiment. They are nearer
to the people than any of the other
papers. Their editors mingle with
the people, and consciously or uncon-
sciously reflect the views of their
readers. By my private letters from
all parts of the state, and by reading
the local papers, l can tell just what
the people of Kansas are thinking
and talking about. l can feel the
pulse of the people and take theiI
temperature. | am amazed, too, al
the excellence of the county papers.
The majority of them are carefully
edited. They not only print the
news of the neighborhood, but have
opinions which l find it worth my
while to read and reflect upon.
get no better return for any of thC
money which l spend than for tina
which [ pay out for the local newspa
pers of the state.

A census bulletin has just been
issued treating Of irrigation in this
state which will be found highly
interesting by all who have paid any
attention to the subject The in
formation is detailed and extensive,
covering every feature of the subject.
The following table is given showing
the status of irrigation in the various
counties of the state in 1892.

We received two more complaints
regarding the mail service this week.
Both of these were from Indian
Valley. This thing of subscribers
continually failing to get their paper,
which is regularly mailed to them, is
getting monotonous and it Is high
time the government brought few
of its employees in this section 10 their
senses
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-02-11

derived from this cannot be enumer-
ated here, but suggestion as to their
value may be derived from the fact
that a rate Of interest ONE PER GENT.
lower than we are now paying on our
bonded debt would result in twenty
years in saving to the county of an
amount equal TO ONE-FlFTH of our
entire bonded Indebtedness, or say
SO. 900. Our present floating in
debtedness, estimated at $40, 900, and
a disgrace to the county, could be
funded in low interest bonds. This
would insure par value to our war
rants and at the same time prevent
the continued reproach of having
these warrants hawked about in search
of purchaser ut what they will
bring-rarely exceeding Soc and often
as low as soc. These figures, too, ex-
press their actual value, for according
to the rate at which they are being
redeemed the purchaser will not real
ize to exceed 10 per cent. interest on
his investment Now, if the loss
arising from this depreciation were
borne by the capitalist or other per-
sons of means, we might be inclined
to abide by the conditions. But this
is not the case. These people, when
doing business with the county, always
take into consideration the selling
value Of its warrants and see to it
that their contracts are made with q
view to covering the deficiency, while
the farmer and other taxpayer who
furnishes dollars worth of time or
labor receives in return so or S5 cents.
These are the people who must bear
the loss. In addition to sustaining
their own direct loss they are obliged
to make up by way of increased taxes,
the loss to the county arising from
excessive charges.
Again, should we not see fit to
fund the floating Indebtedness, we
could curtail its future volume and
hasten its redemption by issuing low
interest bonds for all permanent i'm
provements, such as bridges, etc.
This would enable us to lay the foun-
cation Of. future prosperity and
growth by improving roads and open
ing new ones where needed, so that
part, at least, Of our resources
could be utilized by our people and
made to play part in placing the
county where it rightfully belongs
abreast of all others in progress
throughout the state.
Having the past experience of 9th
ers to guide us, the belief is justified
that were the methods indicated above
injected into our county management
they would set the pace of progress,
attract general attention and settlers
from abroad, enhance values, increase
the taxable wealth of the county, and
expand its prosperity to an extent VIC
dare not now anticipate. And al
without added burden to ourselves,
but with an adjustment so evenly
balanced that the rising generation
, and others who would come, woulC
find the opportunities and response
bilities so equitably adjusted tina
theirs would be the duty to care fo
; the expenditures necessary to thos
) developments to which we had givel
time and energy and portion of ou
, means. A.

the reporter, cit can't be-oh, yes,

tine which the young lady intends to

moment the little dear turned back
and began looking timidly around.
els this what you have lost?"
asked the man of the pencil, handing
her the envelope. She thanked him
and fastened away, blushing rosily.
The cause of her bushes are easily
explained. Before she had discov-
cred her loss, the reporter had man
aged, the missive not being sealed, to
get a glimpse of the contents, which
were:
To HANDSOME JOHN:
Oh, glorious mani Oh, handsome John
With lovliest, largest nice mustache!
You have my 1uttering, fond heart won,
And on this tender being made mash.

opportunity for startling discoveries,

THE OHIO VALLEY.
Something About the Work That is Being
Done on the Line.

The following railroad News is
clipped from the columns of the Hop
kinsville New Era:
"The first eight miles of road-bed
from Gracey is completed and ready
for ties and iron. The finishing
touches were given last week and
Donovan & DAILY, the contractors,
have broken camp and are in readi-
ness to emigrate. When Mr.. Nor
gan finishes the work on this end of
the road, which will not be later than
the next week, the entire line, so far
as the contractors are concerned, will
be completed.
"Work on the bridges is progressing
as favorably as could be expected
under the conditions which con-
fronted the bridge contractors. The
masonry on the Sinking Fork bridge
is done, and it now stands ready for
the superstructure. Work began
this week on the foundation of the
Little River bridge, the piers and all
stone work having been finished on
the first bridge from the city.
'"Track laying from Gracey is
being pushed vigorously and about
one mile finished over which heavy
construction train runs daily, carry
ing iron, ties and material for the
work. An improved track laying
machine will be put in operation at
an early date. 1t has already been
ordered, and the machine has Ca
pacity of one mile per day. With
this machine the completion of the
track laying to the Little River
bridge will be the work of few
days.

ing his nomination and election as a
Democrat.
This is no fight against the ALI
ance. Tie fight is against Buch-
anan himself, and the incompetent
vicious men he has drawn around
him such characters as Mcdowell
and, Ford and Alleman, of East Ten
nesseee, who have had too much to
do with the Briceville affair and
other things that have brought re-
proach upon the administration.
Lawyers, doctors, merchants and all
Democrats came cheerfully to the
Governors support and elected him
by nearly 10000 majority, and had
he let that most useless, demoralizing
and impractical Ocalajsm clone,
stuck to his platform and let Nc.
Dowell and his other wild schemes
for office severely alone, he
would not have had any opposition
to bis reelection, and even could he
have been induced to take the posi-
ton he now assumes to occupy six
months ago, he would have had no
opposition, and farmers know this is
the truth.
Now, Gov. Buchanan is not in it,
and it is bis own fault. His mis-
guided judgment has deceived him
as TO the temper of the people. He
relied on Mcdowell to fix things and
thought he had the Alliance in hand,
and boosted that he could be nomi.
mated on first ballot.
The program now under consider.
alton by Mcdowell, as the LEAF
CHRONICLE predicted early in the
contest, is resort to the Third par
ty. Can any good Alliance man af-
ford to withdraw his allegiance to
the Democratic party and follow him
in this wild goose chase, simply out
of spite and revenge?
AS to Judge Turney, he is known
to the people throughout the State as
brave, outspoken, honest man,
above reproach. More than this, he
is an able, conscientious lawyer, fear
less in the discharge of his duty and
capable of shaping and directing
sound, healthy legislation and of
javoiding bad plumbers. Whatever
predjudices may have been engen
dered against him, growing out of
the excited contest, they should be
laid aside for the sake of harmony
and success. Where could we look
for better man-one who enjoys
more of public contidence-to fill the
place? Such man is not in Ten
neSSee.
