Clearwater Idaho, Feb 2 81.
Mr.. Editor.

It may seem a little
nasty 70 criticise the actions of
the new Board of county commits
sioners, but as their official acts
are OF public nature they be.
come subjects of public criticism,
and especially SO, in view of the
TACT that the Board has been cleo
ted on the strength OF promises
OF retrenchment in county expen-
ditures made by them.
The question Of retrenchment
vas thoroughly agitated, and
that to an extent as to specify
Che manner in which it was to bs
done, VIZ: the abolition of depu-
by hire by the county, the cut
ting down OF bills, which, in
many instances are known to be
extortionate, and in various other
ways; the object, ofcourse, was to
lessen our enormous tax rate. /
Now the supreme court OF Ida
no has decided that the hiring of
deputies is optional with the
Board of cou nty commissioners;
Ibis decision was in keeping
With the general interpretation
Of the law by the thinking peo-
pie, and, only eoncurred in what
the people advocated at the
recent election.
This matter, I take it, was
thoroughly understood by the
members OF the Board during
their candidacy in the recent
election.
Vow, let US see whether they

CUTTING DowS CIRCULATION.
Bonds Too High and Money Too Easy
TO suit the Banks.

New York, Feb. 6.--The national banks
in New York are reducing their circula-
tion. One of the reasons for this course
is the prospect for a long period of easy
money and another is the high prices at
which government bonds are ruling. Gov
ernfnent bonds have to be deposited with
the United States treasurer to secure cir
culation. The national bank act, by the
amendment of 1882, permits a decrease in
circulation of only $3.0OO,OO0 a month by
all the national banks in the country, and
there are 2,700 of them. In January, for
the first time the $4,000, 900 limit was reach
ed. This week applications for reduction
of circulation aggregating $S.OO0O00 were
sent to Washington from New York alone.
