AS readers of the Journal are doubt
less aware, a committee of the city
council has been at work for some time
past in Il careful study of the city
ordinances. to see wherein the various
municipal departments can be 50 or
ganizcd as To secure greater economy
and efficiency in the transaction Of the
city's business. Much time und
thought has been devoted to this work
and the various heads of departments
together With many leading citizens.
were freely consulted and advised
with. The committee has moved slow
ly in reaching it's conclusions and has
not seen the strongest reasons. Its final
report. which was only arrived at, last
evening, Will j." presented to the city
council. this evening This report is a
unanimous one ana there is good rca-
son to believe that it viii be adopted
by the city government.
There has long been a need Of work
of this character. for il is well known
to the taxpayers generally that many
of the uId-timc methods Of conducting
municipal affairs are decidedly loose
iointcd and wastcful.
Some days ago, Il preliminary and
provisional report Of tn" committee
which did not purport t. bc unanimous
was printed and sent out, chiefly to
draw the attention of citizens to the
matters under consideration ana elicit
their views. Since then 50 many
changes have been made that any con-
clusions as to the report which the COM
mittce will make this evening. which
might be based upon this preliminary
report, would be very apt t. he mis-
leading ana erroneous.
81 far as tha journal has been advised
of the contemplated changes it believes
them to be moves in the right dircc-

Official Paper Of Nez Perez County
Steunenberg's War Debt.

StGuuCuUCIk wal OSUt.
The coming session of the legis-
lature will be called upon to pro.
vide means to settle the expense Of
Governor Steunenberg' war in the
Occur d'Alenes during the past
two years. There is a feeling
among some ofthe administrations
friends that the state should pay
the bill, amounting to over a hun
dred thousand dollars, but the tax.
payers generally will not favor the
saddling of the debt upon the state.
The expense grew out of an effort
of the state to protect the property
of the mine owners of Shoshone
county, and it would not be right
for the taxpayers of the state to
pay the expense of protecting the
lives and property of the people of
Shoshone county. The debt would
no doubt be burden upon the tax
payers of Shoshone county, but
there is no reason why the burden
should be added to the people of
the state by paying the bill. If
this burden is thrown upon the
people, Latah countv's proportion
would amount 10 upwards Of ten
thousand dollars.
The farmers of this county
have been burdened already
with extraordinary taxes be.
cause the state board Of equaliza-
ton raised the valuation of real
estate IS per cent above the valua-
ton fixed by the assessor; with
the already heavy taxes and the
burden of the governors war debt
the farmers of this county would
have to let their land be sold for
taxes. The mining corporations of
Shoshone county have escaped tax
alton except on personal property,
although many of the mining
claims have been decided for years
and are worth hundreds Of thous.
ands of dollars and yield immense
incomes even on the::estimated val
ues on the properties. If the leg,
islature would enact law making
It the duty of assessors to fix a
value on decided mining claims that
are producing. according to the out
put, then the mines could be as
sessed and made to pay share OF
the burden of state government
and in this instance assist In pay
ing for their own protection. There
is no just reason why the owners
should escape taxation or that the
people of the state should be bur
dened to give protection to the
mine owner when he escapes. The
Mirror believes that the debts in.
CURED in protecting the mining In.
terests of Shoshone county should
be paid and that the county which
received the benefit should bear
the burden. Four years ago the
fusionists refused to pay the bills
incurred by Gov. Mcconnell while
putting down an instruction in
the Occur d'Alenes aud many of
the persons who furnished supplies
are yet unpaid. Such reputation
brings discredit upon the state,
and justly too. The legislature
this winter should not be guilty Of
the blind partnership exhibited by
the legislature of four years ago,
but should see that the bills are
paid and that the burden falls
where it justly belongs. Moscow
