Stopped by the Police in the Fifteenth
 Ward Yesterday.
 For some time the police have been receiving complaint from residents of the Fifteenth ward in the neighborhood of Granniss' Corner that boys and men were playing baseball in that vicinity on Sunday and making disturbances unseemly for the day. Last week com paint was made to Superintendent Wrinn of the police department. The Fifteenth ward is outside the police jur- isdction of the city, but the superin- tendent detailed two patrolmen to look into the cause of the complaint. The two patrolmen made a trip to the Eff teenth ward yesterday under the super tntendent's orders, and finding 2 crowd playing baseball just beyond Tomlinson bridge, they ordered the game stopped. Their orders were obeyed and the dis turbances were stopped for the day

sue the fusion newspapers carefully
rtfrained from mentioning anything
about the recent action by the fusion
state board OF equalization. THIS
board had raised the assessed valuation
Of property in hootcnai county by
1924 500. 80. rs follows: On patented
lands, s2G0, sT8.50; on common cattle
s22, J6s 90, and on common sheep, ST.
80. 50. Why did not these truthful
editors tell the taxpayers about this
raise! Because 1t might have weaken
ed their argument in favor Of That
paramount" issue. Thisaptly serves
to illustrate how dearly these fusion
editors love the OYerburdencd taxpay-
or and how deeply they are interested

Aside from the fact that the tax levy
Of 81. 10 Is wholly insufficient 10 meet

If they do not already know it, that
the fusion combine is engaged in II
scheme to hoodwink them into support

are aiding the dastardly work.
Take this simple illustration: Your
assessment this year, even before the
state board acted upon it, was much
higher than in former years when the
levy was not 50 low, and the increase
by The state board has at least doubled
such assessment. Take for instance
common cattle, which wore assessed
at 80 yer head when the levy was
$500 the highest levy ever known in
the county, are now assessed at about
$50. Therefore, when the levy was
$500 you pad only 80 cents taxes on

HAS TRUTH FLED.

The Occur d'A!ene Press says that
the fusion administration has dem
onstrated that the county paid too
much for Keeping Frank o. Hill and
other republicans in Office too long.
Great Scott,.
Ncracious Mr.. Scott. We venture
to assert that Frank O. Hill never
drew very much in excess of one thous-
and dollars for any one year as his sal
AIRY as county treasurer during the
time he held that Office, but the fus-
ioniSLs now pay the treasurer fifteen
hundred dollars per annum, and if
that were not the maximum allowed
by law there is no telling how much
more he might be receiving. The flu
sion treasurer receives the limit al
lowed by law
Has truth persisted from among the
fuSionStS?
The Press further says: "Toll re-
member how Commissioners Cable and
Dshman reduced the Northern pacif-
ic tax valuation $4,000 while yours
remained unchanged. !"
Certainly, coed Mr.. Scott. We re-
member also that Cable, Dishman and
Smith We're strictly fusion board.
Dishman was democrat, while Gable
and Smith We're elected as silver rep
republicans.
Great Caesar Has truth fled from
the fuSionists, or has Scott an attack
OF the blind staggers?
II Scott desired to inform the peo-
pie correctly upon these matters, why
did he net tell them that fusion
state board of equalization reduced
the tax valuation Of certain railroads.
while the same board increased the
tax valuation on all cattle, sheep and
patented lands IN Kootenai county To
the tune of 1881, 6a9. 36?

THAT RECORD FOK ECDSOMY G.,

The fiGionlsts are asking the peO-
pie Of this county 10 retain them III
power two years longer on account o.
their record for economy. Absurd as
this claim appears in the face of in
dspuiable facts and figures, they have
themselves supplied such an irrefuta-
bic answer 10 that argument that
their position before the people now
Is most ridiculous.

tunity to strengthen their present ar
gument by standing by the men who
are almost II not wholly responsible for
the record which they now ask the vo-
ters Of kootcna county to endorse?
The fusion dnpes the present coun-
ty board were turned down because
the managers were thoroughly con
WINGED that they could not be
reelected and if the combine should
fail in the election OF q fusion board
its back would surely be broken.
They were turned down. ungratefu
in the hope that public indignation
on account Of their record might be
exhausted through the act, and new
men were placed in nomination.
But the fusion managers will learn
that the people of kootenai county do
not admire incompctency and cxtrav-
gance in the makeup Of county
board, and moreover that they have
lost faith in fusion commissioners.
In fact, the simple word "fuSion" has
become odious to a very large MAORI
ty Of the taxpayers, and that record
for economyl:l is largely responsible
for it.
