HON.. M. 3. GWINN,

That was a handsome compliment
paid Commissioner Gwinn by the Re-
publican convention last Saturday,
and the best Of it was, it was deserved.
Mr. GWinn's record as a Commissioner
is without hlemish. He has served
the people of Canyon county as we'll as
any man could. and better than most
men would. Few men retire from the
office of Commissioner without real
izing that to great extent their stew
ardship has been failure and feel very
we'll satisfied if their constituency do
not pronounce them intolerable
Therefore, it is peculiarly gratifying to
any man who has served a term as
Commissioner to have such hearty
and unanimous endorsement as was
rendered to Chairman GWinn. Such a
thing rarely occurs and it requires un-
common merit to deserve it. AS d
whole the people of the county will
greatly regret Mr.. Gwinn's determina-
ton not to serve another term. At the
same time it would be requiring of
him an unreasonable sacrifice. The
gentleman's business interests are
large and continually increasing; he
has planned to be absent from the
state great part of next year, and
there are other obstacles which would
render it exceedingly difficult for him
to serve. However, Mr.. Gwinn has the
satisfaction of knowing that he goes
out of office with increased popularity,
clean, honorable record, the conf
dence Of the people and the unanimous
endorsement of the Republicans of
Canyon county.

it? Well, instead of slowing the $500
away like that, suppose we deposit it
in a bank, either on time or call, say on
time, and get four per cent. interest.
When the banker receives that money
he knows that the law authorizes him
to loan out IS per cent. of it. He does
so. Now, it looks like this to plain
man: When we had that 5000 under
tile rock, 100 per cent of it was out OF
circulation dead and un-
profitable; when we put it in bank, 50
per cent. of it went Immediately into
circulation, and only Is per cent. lie
dormant. We get four per cent. on our
$500, while the banker gets 10 per cent.
on $40. The man Who borrows the
the $40 builds house or a barn, en-
ploys carpenters and masons, buys nails
and putty and sets industry in motion;
that, according to our notion is fl
nance and commercially way, til
business. We sum it up like this:
When you put your money in hiding
you obliterate that much OF the clrcu
lating medium absolutely; when you
put it in bank you only destroy Ii per
cent. of it; when you engage it in &C
tive business you utilize it's full virtue.
Consequently, according to our notion
the French plan is the worst of all, and
banking was invented to mitigate its
evils. We think CLAGGET is little
off color on the financial question
| Don't YOU?

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

At the coming election there will be
an opportunity to vote on the PROPOSE
ton of separating the offices of probate
judge and county school superintendent.
In order to separate those offices the
state constitution must be amended,
and to that end it ought to be amend
ed. The combining of those two Off
ces in one officer was a mistake which
has done great injury to the public
schools and will continue to work in
creased damage unless a change be
made. 1t does not seem necessary to
enter into any argument or explana
ton in favor of the proposed amend
ment. Everybody realizes the import
ance and necessity of separating the
offices. 1t is physically impossible for
one person to fill both positions and
comply with the legal requirements.
Everybody should vote "yes" on the
constitutional amendment in order that
the public schools may receive that
degree of attention which their proper
and effective conduct demands.

RAILROAD OWNERSHIP.

We rather like the idea of govern
ment ownership of railroads, and would
be disposed to urge it seriously if some
things were a little clearer. In the
first place, there is some doubt about
the ACCESSIBILITY Of adding a million
and half to the list Of public servants.
From the platforms and speeches OF our
Populis5 friends we have come to firm
ly believe that public servants come
the nearest to getting big pay for little
or no work of any class of labOrers in
the field. If it be true that the present
force of public servants have reduced
plumber to such system and increased
it to such proportions that the country
is groaning and dying under its burden
of taxation, what, in the name of COM
mon sense, would become of us if a
million and a half were added to the
army of public pap suckers? This
thing bothers us like everything. We
would very much like to become part
owner in all the railroads in this coun-
try, provided we could be conductor,
q division superintendent, or even a
president; but if we should run for one
of those offices and get knocked out, it
would be real painful and we might
look at things differently. Did you
ever stop to think how dreadfully hu-
initiating and CALLING it would be to
have Democratic or Republican con-
ductor lording it oyer you after you
had originated the whole plan of buy
ing the railroads, and after you had
suffered all kinds of abuse at the hands
of those minions, for years? 1t would
put mans human nature to terrible
test. Now, we are quite willing to
lend our credit towards buying up the
railroads, provided, they are run to suit
us and the management is left largely
at our disposal. But, we hesitate to
pledge everything we haYe on earth to-
wards purchasing railroads for Demo-
cratic politicians TO manipulate. Our
credit is worth great deal to us. 1t
has stood by US when everything else
failed. We can't afford to barter it off
for railroads and telegraphs without
assurance of substantial consideration.
10 lend it to a scheme that will pro-
vide munificent offices for political enc
mics doesn't look like good business
sense. We want to be sure of getting
the offices, anyway. Such cOnsidera-
tons as these incline us to hesitate
about urging government ownership of
railroads. Maybe they are not sound,
but they are of that class which int1u-
ence most men in all their affairs in
these degenerate days. Amt it?

A WORD ON HOPS.

The Golden Hop Co., Payette valley,
gathered this year $1,000 pounds of first
class hops from 26 acres. To gather
the crop, 1870 picke:s, nearly all women
and children were employed and re-
ceived for their services $1,000. The
product of the hop field finds ready
market at remuneratiye prices. Now,
we want to call the attention Of farm
ers to the fact that five acres of land
DEVOTED to hop culture is more profit
able than 100 acres put to wheat. The
point is that our farmers must get rid
OF large holdings, they must quit try
Jag to cultivate whole geography.
In connection with the rs acres of
hops referred to, we desire to empha-
size the fact that sixteen hundred dol
lars was paid to pickers alone, and that
a good margin of profit was left over.
This means that 1000 acres of hops
will give employment to about 1900
people and necessitate payment to
pickers of upwards of $4,000. This
does not include services and wages Of
regular employees required in the cult
walton, which would approximate
double the amount mentioned. The
labor of picking is light and respecta-
BILE, and i'll the case cited was performed
by people residing in the vicinity of
the hop farm. Mothers, daughters and
sons sat side by side, and be it said to
their credit the Golden Hop company
did everything possible for the
comfort and convenience of the hop
pickers. OF course, it requires some
skill, acquired by experience, to success
fully grow hops, but skill is what pays
in this world. Brains count for more
than muscle, even in the cultivation of
the soil. The tendency of the age is
towards intelligent work. A few years
ago everything depended on main
strength and aWkwarkness. Now it is
different, and the best farmer is he who
can produce the most valuable crop at
the least expenditure of natures
forces. Look into the hop business.

COUNTY SEAT.

Three towns in Canyon county are
ambitious to become the permanent
seat of county government. They are
| all good towns and quite equal to the
dignity sought after. Payette is a
beautiful little town near the CONVEX
gence of the Snake and Payette rivers
Middleton is romantic village amidst
the foliage and verdure on the banks
of the Boise river; Caldwell is grow
ing, energetic, busting little city on
the plains, with the strength of a
giant in her young arms and the
prospects of a metropolis in her eager
eyes. The people of Canyon county
will soon be called on to determine
which of the contestants shall receive
their approval. The question Of To-
eating a county seat is one of practical
considerations. 1t is purely a matter
of convenience and economy. There is
no sentiment about it. 1t should re-
ceive the same kind of consideration
that a farmer exercises when about to
locate his cellar or barn. A rati onal
farmer will dig his cellar and build his
barn where, everything considered,
the buildings will be most convenient
for the designed purpose. He will have
particular regard to distances, because
that means economy-a saving Of ply.
steal force and shoe leather. In Lne
matter of county seat, distance from
the center of population is an import
ant consideration and must not b, ig-
nored. The location of a county scat
at i remote or inconyenient distance
from the center of population me ms
constant additional expense to tax
payers; while proper location, with
due regard for distance, means direct
and positive saving. Therefore, in the
light of economy and common sense, it
is imperative that practical considera-
tions should determine the location of
the permanent county seat. THE TRI-
BUNE is anxious to impress this idea
on the people of Canyon county be-
cause some may be led to do violence
to their best interests by prejudice or
thoughtlessness; or, indeed, they may

FINANCES.

In mis- speech last week, Mr.. CLAG-
GET the Populist oracle, said some
things which are not quite clear to a
common, everyday man. For in
stance, he said that a great amount of
money was kept out Of circulation by
vicious legislation, which compelled
banks to maintain as a reserve fund a
certain per centage Of deposits. He
called that plutocratic legislation, and
scored tho Republican party severely
for permitting its existence on the sta
tute books. Then he explained how
much different and how much better it
was in France, where the people, in
stead of depositing their earnings in
banks, slowed them away in garrets
and old stockings and under the roots
of trees. We do not pretend to under
stand the windings and twistings Of
this financial question, but to save our
life we cannot see how $500 is any more
in circulation hidden away in an old
sock than if safely deposited in bank.
We don't understand the underlying
principle. But there is more of a puzzle
to this question. If we had 5000, which,
OF course, is prepostrous supposition,
but for arguments sake, if we had
@200, and should wrap it up in Cali
fornia sock and hide it under the cellar
door, we would be apt to think that
that $500. right up to the 100 per cent.
limit, had been taken ont Of circula-
ton. Is it not reasonable to conclude
that $500 under a cellar door, with
rock on it, has been substantially re-
moved from the great arteries Of COM
merce. That's the way it looks; don't
