tY2 of course notl He conse-
quently adds this discount to the
face Of the bill and the county is
not only paying interest on the
expenditure but is paying inter
est on the discount. County
bonds could be easily sold at a
low rate of interest in the eastern
states and we would ask, is it not
only policy, but business pro-
position, that our people should
bond the county for the amount
of it's indebtedness at least, and
thus relieve the taxpayers of the
county of this burden? We are
all aware that every additional
expenditures of county funds
means an additional tax to the
inhabitants. If bonds are once
issued, the interest on outstand
ing warrants is stopped, our
county officers are enabled to Sc
cure the lowest cash prices for
their investments and the tax
payer is relieved of paying the
usury now imposed upon him.
Instead of discounted warrants,
bought only by few, we will
have cash in circulation, paying
and repaying the bills OF the re-
cipients OF the same.
If the bill above referred to
becomes a law we can not only
vote bonds to the amount of our
Indebtedness, but for public i'm
provement. What taxpayer
would not vote bonds for the i'm
provement of our county roads2
Take for instance the main stage
road from Willow creek to Mount
Idaho and an immense number
of similar cases where improve
ments are not only of advantage
to the public but q necessity.
And if bonds are once issued, the
tax for these improvements is
divided annually among the res
idents Of the county and each
year the individual feels its
weight growing less, as the prin-
cipal is reduced and the taxable
property is increased, We would
suggest that our county commits
sioners bring this matter before
them in the near future. In or
der to assist in this move, the
columns of the REPORT will at
all times be open to correspond
ence upon the subject.

Our State University.

DR.. G. w. Shaft, one of the
new board OF regents for the
state university, was interviewed
this week concerning the meeting
Of that body, held at Moscow
last week. DR.. Shaft is enthu-
siastic over the prospective future
of the university to build up a
standard university course as
rapidly as the situation will per
permit. AT present the classes
in the institution are principally
preparatory ones. The univer-
sity courses proper, have only q
few pupils.
The board authorized the presi.
dent of the university, Prof.
Gault, to issue & curriculum of
study adopted by the high schools
of the state. Certain high schools
will adopt this course of study
and their graduates will be ad-
mitted to the freshman's class in
the university. This will in
great measure relieve the prepa-
ratory classes in the university
and help to strengthen the high
schools as well. There are no
such high schools in the state at
present. Prof. Gault will visit
the various high schools of the
state in the near future and will
confer with the high school teach
ers at the next meeting of the
associations, over such a course
Of study.
The curriculum of study agreed
upon will be published next
June, and there is but little doubt
that all the high schools of the
state will adopt the course of
study laid down. This will tend
to- build up an excellent system
of high schools in the state and
put the preparatory work where
it belongs, in the high schools,
not in the university,

WhyNot Bond theCounty2

On February 18th, Suydam of
Lemhi county introduced bill
in the state legislature whereby
the county could issue bonds for
public Improvements, being
amendatory to article 1902 of
the revised statute. This bill we
believe step in the right direc-
ton, at the same time we ask,
why is it that this county cannot
and does not issue bonds to re-
deem it's indebtedness?
Some time since we had occa-
sion to compare some bills of
one of the counties of the state
under somewhat peculiar circum-
stances. A certain party had
purchased a business and all out
standing debts due the same, and
upon examination of the books,
found no credit to the county for
a year or so back. He accord
ingly made out an itemized state
ment against the county and
presented it to the commissioners
for examination and approval.
The several items on the books
ran from three to twenty dollars,
and where we found receipted
bills for same we found from
twenty to seventy five per cent.
added to each item.
At that time county warrants
were worth from ninety to ninety
eight per cent. and the SUPPOSE
ton was that the party desired
to secure sufficient advance to
make any discount good.
Let us take for example the
warrants of Idaho county and in
dollars and cents figure just what
we are to-day doing and just
where the business of the county
stands. In the first place, we go
as county officer to A, to pur-
chase certain amount of sup
plies. A. figures, to himself of
course, something as follows:
"Now that material if a cash Gus
toner would come in, / would
take 800 for and be glad of the
chance" But let us see what he
charges the county. 'In the first
place, county warrants are worth
only ninety cents on the dollar,
SO | must allow for that" So to
use round numbers he adds $40
to the bill. "Then again l don't
know when l can get the cash for
that warrant if ] hold i'll ex-
pect about a year. SO as inter-
est is worth one and one-half per
cent. per month and the warrants
are worth but seven per, cent.
per annum he add $13 for inter-
est to be sure he is safe. Then
as 500 is his cash price and time
customers would have to pay
$40, he adds $40, because it is
his time price. Let us see what
is his certified bill against the
county, 1888; while on the other
hand, supposing we go to him
with the cash; we are now cash
buyers and have good right to
expect his lowest figures, and
800 buys the material. While
we are paying a certain interest
on the bonds we are making
many dollars profit on the same
compounded interest on our
every investment.
Again, county officer has a
bill to pay which requires a cash
expenditure by himself until the
commissioners meet. He knows
he will receive warrant in re.
turn for his cash. Is it right
that he should lose ten per cent.
of his hard earned money, sim
ply because he advanced the same

THE big sugar trust now has
lobby in Washington, for the pur-
pose of seeing that the Democratic
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee do not weaken
under the great pressure that is now
being brought to bear upon them
and leave sugar untaxed. The
sugar trust can well afford to spend
a million or two of dollars, if nee
cessary, to get tax put upon for
eign sugar, as experts figure that
such tax would enable the sugar
trust to pocket anywhere from $780,
100000 to $1O0,OOO,0OO the day the
tax went into effect. The whiskey
trust also has lobbyists at work try
ing to get the revenue tax on whis-
key increased. This trust has an
enormous quantity of whiskey in
bond and any increase in the tax
would be just making it a present
of so much money. ,.....

In replying to Mr.. Fulton's let
ter Hon. Thomas Wren closes as
follows:
"You allude to my bent of mind,
my surroundings and my education
as different from yours. There
seems to be hidden in this language
as there was in some of the langu-
age you used in your former letter,
a covert sneer. My friend, you are
right; nay bent of mind and yours
differ most essentially, and my ed
ucation and surroundings have been
different from yours.
l have never basked nor sought
to bask in the smile of millionaires;
| have never courted the favor of
rich corporations, that thrift might
follow, fawning.' Your sympathies
are with the rich, mine with the
poor; I have associated with both
rich and poor, you with the rich
only. When clad in the rough
garb of a miner, with hands cal
loused by toll, I bore myself as
proudly and independently as when
clothed in broadcloth, with hands
softened by idleness. In a rough
school l learned to sympathize with
labor; in a rough school l saw learn
ing open her pages as wide to the
son of toll, seated upon his rough
bench, as to the rich man, seated in
his cushioned chair. My associa-
ton with both classes taught me
that the poor man was frequently
the superior of the rich one in abil-
ity, intelligence, honesty and every
manly quality. I learned to re-
spect the man, not his money.
These lessons you have never learn
ed, and never will"

NEvADA's exhibit at Chicago has
evidently done some good. Com

There was one thing the Legisla-
ture failed to do last session, and
that was to make an appropriation
to procure a quantity of descriptive
literature for circulation at the
Fair. A thousand dollars or so

have done an immense amount of
good.

have some of this kind of literature
printed for distribution at the Mid

lature would recompense the person
taking upon himself the task of
furnishing it is doubtful. However,
the printed matter ought to be fur
nished. Mr.. Yerington says that it
was a sad mistake that no such
matter was furnished him to dispose
of in Chicago. The time is short to
arrange material of this kind for the
San Francisco Fair, but it ought to
be done.

ANOTHER brutal murder was COM

fiend named Collins, stabbing his
wife to death in the Kindergarten

Poisoned by Scrofula

Is the sad story of many lives made miserable
through no fault of their own. Scrofula is
more especially than any other hereditary
disease, and for this simple reason: Arising
from impure and insufficient blood. the disease
locates itself in the lymphatics, which are
composed of white tissues; there is period OF
foetal life when the whole body consists of
white tissues, and therefore the unborn child
Is especially susceptible to this dreadful dis
ease. But there is remedy for scrofula.
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t is Hood S

the blood, expels all trace OF the disease and

health. If you decide to take Hoods sarsa-
parilla do not accept any substitute.
