FOLLOW THE LAW.

II Is said that the Northern Pacific re-
fuses to pay taxes ON their patented
lands in this county, on the ground that
the So, 600 issue of bonds authorized in
1S02 il illegal. This 10 the reason given
by the Silver Blade, and it then goes on
to say that 'this position Ct the COM
pamy will force the commissioners to
take action in the matter without delay,
and we understand that such action will
be taken before the adjournment OF this
session. Individual property owners
have held out no proportion Of their
taxes OH any pretext and the sooner il
is determined whether or not the point
raised by the railroad company 10 we'll
taken the better it will be for the county
and all taxpayers" This statement
is thrown out IS n feeler to see
how the public viii take the matter. II
the people do not protest an attorney is
to be employed, and, We understand,
negotiations are already pending to pay
a lawyer from 5000 to $40. 900 for taking
charge Of the case, II the railroad COM
pany refuses TO pay its land tax, amount
ing to about IS 5000. on the ground of the
illegaity OF these bonds for the reason
that q portion Of the tax goes to pay the
interest ON them, why did it not also
refuse TO pay its other taxes, amounting
to $4,000? There is some other reason
behind the railroads. refusal to pay its
land tax. Force the collection OF rail-
road taxes according to the provisions OF
the revenue Law, and let those who wish
20 test the legality OF the bonds do 20 at
their own expense. That is the legal
way and the business way. The people
OF this county will oppose any move
that entails an expenditure of $1,000 to
$4,000 in attorney fees. in q case involv.
ing the same points now before the
courts in the Shoshone county case.
The commissioners should take no &C
tion until that case is settled, and in the
meantime proceed with Northern Pacific
delinquent taxes as they would with
those Of the individual. Next year, I'M
der the new law, the county will have .
county attorney whose duty it will be to
prosecute all cases, both civil and crimi-
nal, on behalf Of the people.

Those Idaho newspapers 30 anxious
for a reunited Republican party might
as well fill their space with arguments
in support Of the gold standard. Silver
Republicans left the party for principle
and will never return to it under present
conditions. There il no international
bimetallic middle ground to stand on.
The issue is single god standard on
the one side and free coinage on the
other. Take your choice and line up for
the battle.

The state law requires the town treas
urer to publish quarterly financial re-
port. Treasurer Clayton has neglected
to do this for the past two quarters, or
ever since he has been engaged in his
scheme to repudiate the interest on the
towns Indebtedness. Is he afraid to
have his Official acts made public? He
gave as an excuse for not publishing his
October statement that he was up the
river fishing. Is he still fshing?
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1892-1907, 1898-01-29

WE BELIEVE the people Of Kootenai
county are opposed to repudiation, and
advise the commissioners to go slow in
their bond reputation case. Hon
est people believe in paying public as
well MS private debts. Dishonest people
favor reputation Of public debts and
would not pay their private debts if they
could avoid IL.
