THE LICENSE QUESTION.
The County Commissioners did
not raise Licensees IHeU are
Simply Enforcing the Lar.

Freedom, Idaho, May 2, 1896.
FRIEND PARKER:-In the FREE
Press of yesterday you state that
the county commissioners raised
the license from $26 to S76 per
quarter. In the first place the
license is fixed by law, and can be
neither more nor less than the
amounts fixed by statute.
In the session laws of 1895, page
80, you will find "Section l, Sec
tion Nv of an Act to regulate the
sale of intoxicating liquors, APP
proved Feb. 6, 1891, is hereby
amended to read as follows: Sec.
Nv. The amount to be paid by
each applicant for such license
shall be the sum of FIVE hundred
dollars per year; or a proportionate
amount for each fraction of year
in any city, town, village or ham
let, where, at the last general
election next preceding the date of
the application for license, the
total vote for governor exceeded
one hundred and fifty votes, and
three hundred dollars per year in
all other cities, towns, villages or
hamlets. Provided: That all per-
sons engaged in retailing liquors
in connection with a hotel or tav-
ern, where meals and lodging are
furnished and kept in good faith
for the entertainment of travellers
at any point distant three miles OF
more outside the limits of any
city, town, village or hamlet, shall
pay license therefor of one hun.
dred dollars per year, or a proper
tionate amount for each fractiona
part of a year. Provided further
That no license issued under tht
provisions Of this act shall be fo
a less time than three months, ant
no license shall be granted for {
longer period than one year. Ap
proved March 8, 1885,
Your statement as to the actor
of the Board is not right, and
can find nothing in the statut
that the Board can raise, or collec
the license, as this is the duty Q
the tax collector, and the receip
for money must bear the signatur
of the sheriff that he (the one ask
ing for license) has paid the neces
sary sum for same; and such re
ceipt, together with good an
sufficient bond, must be presente
to the Board of Commissioners
. and if bond is approved, the licens
is ordered granted. If this leave

Idaho County Finances.

We are compiling from the of
fetal records for publication in the
FREE PRESS shortly, an article
showing the exact financial stand
ing of Idaho county from year to
year from 1886 down to the pres
ent time. For the information of
several enquirers wc beg to state
that the question of employing an
accountant to detect alleged frauds
and dishonesty on the part Of
county officials, is one wholly
within the power and jurisdiction
of the grand jury. Every grand
jury since the organization of the
county has been charged by the
Judge of the district court to that
effect, and every grand jury has
reported that it had examined the
records and found them correct.
The charges made against ex-sheriff
Gregory and his deputy in the last
campaign (that they had not ac-
counted for license money col
lected) are the only matters still
unsettled in connection with
county financial matters and await
ing investigation by the next grand
jury.
At the term of the district court
in this county in April, 1888,
Judge John Lee Logan, in charg-
ing the grand jury, used the fol-
lowing straightforward, common
sense, everyday language on this
identical subject:
"a further duty gentlemen, which
the law imposes upon you-and a
very wholesome duty, and one
which / don't think is attended to
with the strictness it ought to be
is an examination into the con-
duct of your county officers, an ex-
animation of all books of account
and of the way and manner i'll
which your money is being spent.
l have frequently been told in
going around the circuit that
there is no use in having grand
= jury; that there have been no
crimes committed and that there
is nothing to investigate. There
ought to be grand jury at every
term of court. An officer who il
! performing his duty negligently
will stir himself up a little if he
> thinks grand jury is going to in
vestigate him. You are not bount
when you go into an officers room
}, and ask him to look at his books
o to take what he says. If he tell'
d you, II have five thousand, or tel
thousand dollars in the bank, ant
I have spent this much money TO
this purpose and SO on,' you ar
not bound to take his word for il
J but you have right to Investigate
= for yourselves; and if, for any caus
. you think the investigation ough
to go further, you have right t
IS employ an accountant and examin
y their books. If the grand jur
5 would do their duty in this respec
e there would be a good deal les
IS trouble than we have had in n
gard to some officials in this tel
~ ritory."

support this new departure so readily
as it did President Cleveland's mes
sage. But whatever reception it may
receive, the Washington government
will carry out its purpose to give full
effect to it's proposal. The more quickly
England accepts the offer, the more

NEW YORK, Feb. ia special to
The World from Havana says Captain
General Weyler has been busily en-
gagged recently receiving reports from
all the commanders of brigades and
divisions in the field with their troops.
Two days ago Havana was overrun by
Spanish officers. Now the city is prac-
tically deserted. The officers have all
received instructions to go to the field
of active operations.
Nothing is specifically known at
present as to the whereabouts of the in
surgent forces of Maceo and Gomez,
but it is generally understood both of
the rebel chiefs are still lingering in
Havana province.
There appears to be no doubt that
Maceo has succeeded in crossing the
trocha, or strong line, to the eastward.
Whether he has succeeded in joining
Gomez is not known positively. If
they have 1ot met, they are undoubt-
edly close to each other.
1t is reported that it is the intention
Of the rebel chiefs to move eastward at
an early day.
