Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1901-02-13

A bill has been introduced in the
state legislature of Idaho to prevent
the appointment of relatives closer
than the fourth degree, to any office
or position, by the executive or any
other appointing power, who may
have such appointment in their hands.
We think this has many things in its
favor. Nepotism, or ''the bestowal of
patronage in consideration OF rela-
tionship rather than of merit" has
always been source OF danger and
contention. Empires and republics
have been cursed by it; the former
perhaps more than the latter. 1t
should not exist and should not be
permitted to exist under a republican
form of government. In the distribu-
ton OF rewards many men who have
been faithful to their party and party
interests have been showed aside by
the friends and relatives of those W no
are in power. This tends too much
to Capitalization of power and the
elevation OF one family to the ex-
clusion of others; it tends too much
toward an aristocracy rather than a
democracy, and, therefore, decidedly
dangerous to republican institutions.
Such Il measure would be good for
this state. We believe in it.
Some legislation is needed to pre-.
vent vendors OF steel ranges, buggies
and many other things which are
peddled from house to house, from
peddling their wares without the pay
ment OF high license. 1t works a
hardship on local merchants, who
handle these wares and who have
heavy taxes to pay, as well as being
an imposition on the farmers who are
made to pay more for these wares than
they can procure them for from the
local merchants. 1t will be remem-
bered by many in this community
that last spring a carload of buggies
were sold throughout the country
round about, by foreign company
at exhorbitant prices. They sold be-
tween five and six thousand dollars
worth and this money was not only
lost to the local merchants, but also
lost to the community, nor was any
part of it left here, save a paltry sum
for hotel and livery expenses. As in
this SO in many other communities,
they operated the same way. Such
men ought to be made to pay high
license, either to prevent them from
doing business or to bring them OH a
par with local business men who have
heavy tax burdens to maintain be-

down town to see the great commercial
interests of the Capital City. They drove
through the wholesale and manufacture
ing districts, across the Robert street
bridge to the West side, and back by
way of the Wabasha street bridge.
The visitors expressed their admira-
ton for the magnificent residences that
adorn the hill and the fine business blocks
of down town. They were especially
pleased with the new federal building,
which they pronounced to be one of the
finest, if not the finest, buildings in the
Twin Cities.
At Fifth and Wabasha they were met
by chartered car and taken to the In
dian mounds, where they were feasted on
the view of the Mississippi valley which
stretches for miles before the eye. 1t
was here that one of the Minneapolis
men found it impossible to longer con-
tain himself, and broke out with the ex-
clamation: eff st. Paul real estate men
could sell views they would all have be-
come rich years ago." After spending
some time viewing the scenery at the
mounds they embarked and returned to
the city, where they were given a ban
quet at the Ryan hotel. The success of
the banquet, however, was marred by
the terrible tragedy, the story of which
is told in another column.
VISITORS WE'RE ALL PLEASED.
The day was fine and all who were
present seemed to enjoy themselves. One
could continually hear the EXPLANATIONS
of surprise and delight that burst from
the lips of the visitors as their eyes
Toasted upon the beautiful views of the
city. They found everything to admire
and nothing to find fault with. One of
the visitors said to the G o b e: 81 am
delighted with all thatNI have seen today,
but I want to say that ST. Paul has the
best system of paving that 1 have ever
seen in any city. 1t is Splendid
The ceremonies of the day were under
the direction of Thomas Cochran, presi-
dent of the st. Paul exchange. He was
assisted by J. w. Shepard and P. E..
Brown. The reception committee which
met the visitors in Minneapolis was COM
posed of Thomas Cochran, George S..
Heron, William c. Read, P. E. Brown
and J. w. Shepard. The following st.
Paul real estate firms were represented
in the trip: Candy & Meier, A. Stolpe-
stad, Gushing & Townsend, Thomas
Cochran, NJ E. Kost, Robert Mckay, J..
