The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-12-23

! A OAAt~S AOA Sdiu year
1897, amounted to the sum of $4,-
oasis, an excess of $I4S.Is over
the maximum salary of the officer
and salary of his deputy as fixed
by the board of commissioners
No burden was imposed upon the
county by the payment of the sal
airy of the deputy. The inten-
ton of the constitutional provision
that these officers should, in so
tar as was practicable, be made
selt-sustaining, was not infringed
upon or impaired.
Last Saturday the news came
that the British had suffered an
other serious repulse in South
Africa while General Buffers
forces were attempting to cross
the Iugela river. In England
the general impression had pre-
vailed that when Butler arrived
at the seat of war and took per-
sonal charge of the campaign, he
would sweep everything before
him, consequently the news of a
serious reverse in his first opera
ton is extremely disappointing to
the people of England This
news has also had a tendency to
embolden the enemies of Eng
land on the continent and talk of
interference is louder and more
pronounced than at any previous
time since hostilities began.
There is also manifest disposition
in this country to have our gov
eminent intercede and members
of Congress on the Democratic
side are outspoken in their de-
nunciations of the British govern
ment and friendship for the Beers.
Without entering into the merits
OF the controversy between Great
Britain and the Transvaal Re-
public, it may not be amiss to call
attention to the fact that our coun-
try should not be hasty to take
sides against England. 1t is not
SO very long ago that we had oc-
casion to feel profoundly grateful
to the mother country for its at
titude towards us under a some
what similar condition to that in
which she is now placed. AT
the breaking out of hostilities be-
tween this country and Spain,
France and Germany were very
much disposed to take a hand
against us and probably would
have. done so had not England
warned them to keep hands off .
We felt very grateful to England
about that time and made no
bones about it. England did not
critically examine into the merits
of our controversy; she simply
trusted to our integrity and the
ultimate justice of our people
We can make no mistake now by
reciprOcating in kind, especially
when it is known that the senti-
ment against England in Germany
and France largely results from
the fact that England would not
suffer them to help Spain lick us.
We may some day need another
little accommodation and it is
well enough, even if our gratitude
for past favors is exhausted, tc
keep that fact in mind. Apropo:
to this subject, it may be observ-
ed that the people who, in this
country, are denouncing our gov.
eminent for crossing the Pacific
to establish peace and justice il
the Philippines are the same peo
pie who are urging our Govern.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1899-12-23


Know no politics, save such as is
given then through the church
authorities? Every citizen of the
United States is just as much
concerned to see justice done ia
the Roberts case as are the Nor
mons of Idaho. 1t is a matter
that goes to the root of civil gov
eminent and the Congress of the
United States so considers it.
There is no difference of opinion
in Congress except as to the
method, or rather form, in which
proceedings should be conducted,
and there is mighty little differ
ence on that point. Let il be re-
membered that 3o4 Representa-
tlves voted to stop Mr.. Roberts
at the threshold, while only II
voted to admit him, 70 refrained
from voting at all, but not a sin
gle voice was raised in favor of
giving Mr.. Roberts a permanent
seat. Bear that in mind; not a
single voice. The controversy
was simply over the question
whether he should be kept
out pending investigation or let
in pending investigation. No
body pretended to doubt the i'm
perative need of investigation.
In order that our Mormon friends
may fully understand the spirit
in which the controversy was
waged, we quote from speeches
OF gentlemen on both sides. MIR.
Tayler who may be said to have
conducted the argument against
Roberts, said: IF it shall ap-
pear that the allegations made
against him Roberts) be false, l
will welcome him to a place on
this floor. If the facts be as al
legged and they create no lawful
lnellgibility, l will vote to permit
him to take his seat on the floor
OF the House" Now, in all JUS
tice and reason what could be
fairer than that? Let us now
quote from Mr.. Richardson,
Democratic leader in Congress,
who may be said to have con-
Quoted the argument for Roberts.
He said: 81 say at the outset,
with all the emphasis l can COM
mand, if the member from Utah
is guilty of the offenses charged
against him, he should not be al
lowed to retain his seat in the
House. If there is one thing up
on which the American people
are one, and upon which they
should remain united, it is that
the homes of our people and their
domestic relations shall be forever
preserved in all their loneliness,
sweetness, and purity" Here,
then, we have both sides and viz
tually the unanimous sentiment OF
the Congress ofthe United States.
We believe that of the seventy
millions of people in the United
States, sixty-nine millions and a
half feel on this subject as does
their Congress. In view of these
facts, and the other fact that thus
far the controversy has been en-
tirely over parliamentary ques-
ton, it seems to us, at least, un-
timely for Mormon papers in Ida
no to inaugurate system of in
vidious threateningS, To be
quite plain, the people of Idaho
are liable to reciprocate in kind,
if the Mormon people undertake
to punish Mr.. Wilson for refus-
ing to support Mr.. Robert $
claim. Suppose THE tribune.

view is a Gentle paper, should

y
self in sympathy with the Nor
mon church, therefore, we call
upon the Gentiles of this State to
remember Mr., Wilson with a
view that he may in future be
dealt with" What would our
Mormon friends think of it?
Well, when a Mormon editor
calls on the Mormon people to
make note of similar things, that
is just what Gentiles are apt to
think. You know what it is.
The Supreme Court of this
State has decided that under exist
ing laws the will of a married
woman, written by herself, signed
by herself and not witnessed by
two witnesses is invalid. Such
will is called an Geographic will.
The court also indicates that the
nuncupative will of a married wo-
man is invalid. Such a will is a
verbal bequeathment in the pres
ence of witnesses. All other per-
sons competent to make wills may
legally bequeath by Geographic
or nuncupative wills.
In case coming up from Onei-
da county the court decided that
poll tax becomes delinquent on
the second Monday in December.
The assessor of. Oneida county,
relying on a provision of law
which says that all taxes become
delinquent on the first Monday in
January, failed to collect the so
cent penalty attaching to poll tax
es until after the first Monday in
January. Between the second
Monday in December and the
first Monday in January he coll
lected 676 poll taxes without pen
atty. The county commissioners
retained out of his compensation
so cents for each of the 676 tax
receipts issued. Hence the suit.
The Supreme court sustained the
commissioners.
In the case of w. c. Dunbar
VS.. Canyon County wherein Mr..
Dunbar sued the county for pay
ment of salary of deputy, the
court holds that the county must
pay. January 1897, Mr.. Dunbar,
then district clerk, applied TO the
commissioners for authorization
to appoint deputy. Whereupon
the commissioners, after investi-
CATION to determine the necessity
thereof, made an order authoriz-
ing Mr.. Dunbar to appoint a dep
uty and fixed the salary of such
deputy at SIS per month. Sub
sequently the commissioners re-
fused to pay the bill for deputy
hire. In its decision the court
says:
This case does not come within
the rule laid down by the court
in the case of Taylor VS.. Canyon
county, So Pac., 16S. In that
case the court held that, "befOre
the county commissioners can leg
ally empower the sheriff to APP
point deputy under the provis-
ions of section 6, article IS, con-
stition, they must find that the
business of such sheriff's office re-
quire the appointment of a dep
uty." That case, like the pres
ent, was decided upon by a de-
murrer to the complaint. In
case of Taylor VS.. Canyon coun-
ty supra, the complaint did not
state that the board of county
commissioners chad found and de-
termined that a necessity existed
for the appointment of a deputy
In the case at bar, it is alleged

a'' P",eiies announcing the open
ing OF closed factories. the putting
OF others on full time, which had
been run on short time, the cree
ton ofnew establishments, employ
ment OF more men, increase of
wages, and then followed, what?
Plenty ofmoney. Nothing what
ever had been done in a legisla-
tive way to create more money.
The standard was not changed;
sixteen 70 one was dead, yet mon
ey became plentiful. Is it not
quite evident then that plentiful
supply of money is the result of a
prosperous industrial condition
and not the cause of it? Set the
wheels of industry to whirling
and money will flow into circula-
ton, stop them and money disap-
pears. 1t may be observed in
this connection that notwithstand-
ing the oft repeated assertions Of
Bryan and his followers that IN
less silver were restored money
would be contracted to the point of
ruination, the very reverse has
happened. When Mr.. BRYAN
was nominated, the money in Cir
culation was $I,5o9,725,2oo. 1t
now is 81 ,985,93o,964, an increase
of four hundred aud seventy six
millions two hundred and five
thousands seven hundred and six
ty four dollars. This gives for
every man, woman and child in
the country about FIVE dollars more
money than was in circulation in
1896.
Last week the Paris Posi-, of
Paris, Bear Lake county, an
nounced that Mr.. Wilson, Idaho's
Representative in Congress, had
voted for the resolution which
compelled Mr.. Roberts of Utah
to stand aside pending a commit
tee investigation of his right to a
seat in Congress. The Post was
mistaken in its facts. Mr.. Will
son refused to vote either way on
the question, which action or
rather inaction, was probably TAX
en- in Difference to what he deem
ed the conflicting sentiments of
his constituency. This error on
the part of the Post was no doubt
an inadvertence and will be cor
rected, but its calling OIL the Nor
mon people to make a note Of the
fact and its statement that Mr..
Wilson was indebted to the Nor
mon people for his election is
something that cannot be excused
on the ground of thoughtlessness
or transformation. 1t was a
straight intimation that the Nor
mons of Idaho, as Mormons, are
to make common cause with Rob
erts of Utah; that they will take
up his fight and visit political
condemnation on any man who
refuses to support the Roberts
contention. 1t also amounted to
serving notice on Mr.. Wilson that
hereafter the Mormon people, as
such, would be after his scalp.
Every true friend and well-wish-
er of the Mormon people must
needs deplore such utterance5 as
these coming from recognized
Mormon sources. What especial
interest have the Mormons, espe-
cially of Idaho, in the Roberts
case? They will not contend, we
think, that Roberts ought to be
seated if he is a poIygamist. and
nobody desires to exclude him if
he is not. Do not the Mormons,
we mean those who take the
Paris Post position, realize that
