progress of the Kootenai Valley in
particular, and the whole county in
general.
We may be pardoned, however,
for calling attention, at this time, to
one or two matters connected with
the campaign, in which Time has
already justified certain charges
made by the Republican press Of
the county.
One fact is as to the increase Of
debt. The Republicans charged that
the present so-called reform admin.
istratiop instead of reducing ex
penditurcs and taxation, had actu-
ally raised taxation and was plung-
ing the county hopelessly into debt.
AS to taxes, let the general tax
payer compare his notification card
this year with the amount be has
paid on the same property in other
years and no further comment is
necessary.
AS to the debt, compare the joint
Statement of the Treasurer and Au-
ditor for the Sd quarter of 1899
with the similar Statement for the
Sd quarter of 1900. The comparison
shows that the county debt has in
creased in that single year the
enormous sum of $1S,215.S2. The
figures were 50 startling, even to the
Fusionists, that they dared not
publish the third quarterly State
ment of 1900 according to law, but
delayed it over one month, or until
after election.
The increase of debt for the entire
two years will reach a startling
figure.
The consequence will be a big
deficit, which means either county
warrants again down below par, an
early bond issue, or a heavy in
crease in taxation
The cause of this condition was
plainly pointed cut by Republicans
during the campaign, but the people
were SO absorbed in the presidential
contest laat they failed to note its
significance. The causes are fat
salaries, extravaganza, incompe-
tence and mismanagenent.
We trust that every taxpayer
will read every quarterly and semi
annual statement issued by the
Fusion administration and compare
it with the last issued before they
came into power, not necessarily to
justify what we have said here, but
for their future sober judgment

ONE of the burning questions
that will come before the Idaho
legislature will be the settlement
of the debt growing out of the riots
in the Occur d'Alenes. No official
statement has ever been made as to
what the cost of that trouble is tn
state and Shoshone County. We
have been informed that it would
foot up about 100000, but other
statements place the debt as high
as 100000. When the people come
to pay these bills they will realize
that those riots were serious affairs.
An effort will be made to divide
the debt between the state and
Shoshone County. We apprehend
that there will be opposition to tie
payment of the claims, in any ay,
from populist mem bers, and the
discussion of the subject will cause
many a stormy debate.

- >,Nf~' pr 'io NNosiCN& w
be fair in discussing the trust
question, they would present the
facts about trust legislation, as well
to note the advance in price of
trust-controlled articles. 1t is fact
that every line of national trust
legislation on our statute books was
placed there by the Republican
party. 1t is further fact that the
Republican party attempted TO
emend the constitution so as to
anable congress to pass more effec-
tive antitrust legislation, but the
Democrats in congress defeated the
measure.
Now, when the salt trust advan-
ces the price of salt why not recall
the above facts and place the blame
where the major share of it belongs,
instead of charging the blame up to
Mckinley, by vague insinuations,
and without a scintilla of evidence
upon which to base the charge ?
And, again, why do Fusion
organs always snap up the advance
of price in trust articles and affect
to be frightened out of their wits
abo1t it, but never refer 10 the
advance of ranch products ? Here
in the Kootenai Valley, and else
where in the country, an ordinary
milk COW will sell for from $50 to
$50 where four years ago our
ranchers would have difficulty in
selling a COW ust as good for $25.
10 you ever read in Fusion organ
a statement expressing felicity over
this improved condition of the
rancher? No, that does not suit the
Fusioners purpose, but he will give
you a column about the salt trust
salt, an article, two-bits worth of
which will last family weeks.
Does the Fusion organ tell you that
a rancher can sell work horse to-
day for two or three times the price
he could get at any time under the
last democratic administration
Oh, no B! the organ sprinkles in a
little more salt And so it is with
wool and lead and all other great
industries of the state.
The HERALD, speaking for itself,
expresses the opinion that legisla-
ton is needed to regulate the trusts
but it did not, nor does not now,
believe it necessary 10 bust the
country in order to bust the trusts.
When the voters of the United
States make. up their minds that
they want the trusts busted even il
they have to bust the country to dc
it, they could with great propriety
in the light of past experience turn
the job over to the democratic popu
Est party.
In the mean time, however, il
view of the recent result in tn,
nation, we believe the people viii
prefer to allow the Republican
party to work out the solution .
this great problem with that wisdom
which has characterize it in dealin
with all the great questions tina
have come before the country in tn
last 40 years-from Lincoln I
Mckinley.

situation demands increased efforts
and also shows us that there is an

that the sympathy and c0-opera-
