that competent men will be practi-
cally precluded from accepting the
Office, and the services for which
they may charge are so restricted
that the public service must and
will suffer, unless relief is given
by the legislature.
We respectfully request that
you consult with other members of
your honorable body and pass some
legislation, which will make the
remuneration of the Office in some
way adequate to the services and
time required in the performance
of its duty.
Very Respectfully submitted,
A IL. BISHOP, Chairman
of board of county commissioners
of Idaho county, idaho.
FRANK Brown,
Commissioner.
From the above it would appear
that the board in this county have
just cause for complaint, especially
in view of the fact that two of it's
members live a long distance from
the county seat and the expense
and loss of time in going to and
from the place of meeting is nat
uraliy great. Besides call meet
ings are often necessary when the
board is in actual session but one
0. two days while the time going
and coming amounts to two OIL
three days for which they receive
no pay and the amount drawn will
not cover actual expenses.
All of our commissioners are
!, thorough business men whose time
is valuable in their own affairs and
it would be unjust to expect then
to look after the county's interests
at a loss to themselves. 1t woult
; also be poor economy to force sucl
4 men out of Office on account of in
adequate compensation and fill
their places with incompeten
persons whose time is les
u valuable.

Insufficient Pay.

Commissioners from all over the
state are complaining that recent
supreme court decisions have so
reduced the pay of their Offices that
a man with any business of his
own cannot afford to serve for the
pay received, and numerous letters

legislature asking for relief. The
following has been sent from this
county:

An automobile capable Of running at a high

propelled up hills by simply giving the mo-
tor more steam or electric current. Gas
oline carriages are operated differently. A

play, which reduces the speed OF the vehi-
Gle, but increases its driving power. This
caution against speed in hill-climbing ap-
plies particularly 10 electric and steam

the electric vehicle should be taken up a
hill at the rate Of speed which is best for

notable hill-climbers; but this Is no reason
why they should be abused every time a
hill is attempted.

MILITIA IN ARMY.
Should BE Brought Into Much
Closer Relations.

Brooklyn Eagle.
For years there has been discussion as to
the possibility Of merging the National
Guard with the army, as a reserve, and 1T
appears that in the West, where, because
of Indian troubles, the militia has often
had to do the work Of the army, there is a
plan for a closer union of the rgular and
state forces. In the East. where the mil
itia is composed OF men whose business
interests are more important, and who
cannot sacrifice SO much of their time for
the service of the state as can the farmers
and miners and ranchers of the West, the
enthusiasm for army service is not so
marked. AS a matter Of fact, the National
Guard is potentially an army reserve. and
has been so since it attained to the dignity
and Importance of a uniformed body. In
our wars and threats OF war the militia
has always offered it's services to govern
ment, and in the late trouble with Spain
the volunteer force, that made the larger
part OF the army, was merely an expanded
militia, the state regiments keeping their
ofhcers and their regimental numbers and
continuing their organization after their
return from Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philip
pines and big camps of the South.
The President is already empowered to
call on the State troops in an emergency,
so that the step from the present system
to that of a consolidation with the army
49, 49, ~ AAA g. - &0NLA's Al IttLl
TO the proposed measure is that the militia
is distinctly a State force, devised for home
protection, such as we have had exempli-
fed in the case Of labor troubles in this
city and elsewhere, although it has hap
pened that the army has had local work
TO do when national affairs were involved.
as they were in Chicago by the burning of
mail cars and stoppage of letter service by
Mr.. Debs and his friends. But while it is
likely that the militia will continue to be
separate from the army. it would be the
better If a closer conformity to the regular
army were obtained: If it's officers could
be better schOOled, If drill were more rigor-
ously insisted on. if the fine feathers and
trappings to which a few of the ime
hold-the amount of gewgaws being usually
in inverse ratio to the military importance
of a command-were abolished, and if the
men had more Of out door practice. like
that of our Thirteenth Regiment at

ADVICE TO AUTOMOBILE NovICEs.
Some Mistakes Amateur Chauffeur
Should Avoid.



Anyone can run an automobile, but one
should know not only what to do, but why
10 do il. One mistake beginners make is to
run the automobile too far when first learn
ing. The novice should be content with a
few miles on the first day, increasing the
distance each day very slightly. He will
learn something about the machinery every
day, and by taking 1t easily Will avoid trOu-
bic through inexperience. Any new ma
chine should be run carefully and slowly at
f1rst, in order to timber IL up properly. "A
new automobile is not ready for a long run.
There is another reason why a beginner
should take it easily. If he makes a bad
blunder he is apt to lose confidence in him
in a great many. Most men do not realize
what a powerful instrument an automobile
is until they operate one and make some
mistake. Then they have an exhibition OF
the pent-up energy stored in the caTria ge-
box. and If that power is improperly applied
damage will result.
Another great trouble with novices is that
they try TO make too much speed. This is
most dangerous. When an ~inexpert oper-
ator is speeding his machine he is apt 10 be-
come excited, and thus lose control OF il.
IL Is very eXhilarating 10 travel at a high
rate of speed, and the temptation TO do so is
ger and have vowed never 10 make more
than ten or twelve miles an hour. yet in a
week he VIII probably be disappointed IL he
cannot beat every automobile or trolley car

chauffeur should not use his automobile for
