THE WATER PROBLEM

The committee appointed by the
recent mass meeting of citizens to
formulate a plan, and submit its re-
port to the board of town trustees,
for a better water service than that
furnished in the past, has perform
ed its duty and the report was ac-
cepted by the board of trustees.
The report recommends a franchise
requiring a reservoir to be built on
Tubbs' hill, the water to be taken
from the lake south of the hill and
a ten inch main to be laid from the
reservoir to the north line OF the
town. There are men of means
anxious 10 put in water system
under these terms, with a proviso
to sell the plant to the town at the
end of fifteen years, and it now re-
mains for the board OF trustees to
take action on the report, call for
the submission Of propositions and
accomplish something in the way
OF improved service. The matter,
as presented, is absolutely fair TO
the old company and in submitting
propositions for a franchise it has
an advantage over others in having
many mains and other appliances
already in the streets. If it does
not care to take advantage OF
the situation others will as the
people are determined to stand
behind the town officials in grant
ing a franchise to some one who
will comply with the rsCommenda-
tons of the committee. This is
not a matter of friendship or indi-
vidual preferences, but one of vital
public importance 1t involves
the homes and lives OF the people,
as the point from which water is
now taken undoubtedly swarms
with typhoid fever germs, and we
are without adequate fire protection.
If any one doubts the determine.
ton of the people in this matter let
him look at the long list of water
consumers who have signed q
pledge to take water from any com.
pany operating under franchise
from the town. But nine persons
refused to sign it and most of these
are in favor of the proposition.
The town must have better service
and pure water and the people ex'
pect prompt action by the board OF
trustees.

.IET WE'LL ENoUGH ALoNE.,

Are there any reasons why a
change of administrations should
be made in state or county govern
ment? Our republican friends ar
gued, in the last national campaign,
that we should let we'll enough
alone, and we are free to admit
that there is good reasoning in
their conclusio rs. Let well enough
alone That is just what the peo-
pie propose to do with Idaho and
Kootenai county. Upon investiga-
ton they find that the administra-
tons have been honest and econom-
ical. The democrats, or customers,
as the republican press see fit TO
call them, took hold OF county af-
fairs six years ago and found,
among other things, big floating
and bonded debt, taxes at the max
imum rate fixed by law and the
burdens of the people heavy. Dur
ing their six years of control the
tax levy has been almost cut in
half, the debts very materially re-
duced and the county generally
placed on a more economical and
satisfactory basis. A county poor
farm has been established and
hundreds of dollars saved over the
old method of boarding the un-
fortunate county charges out at so
much a head. Many new roads
have been constructed and a num-
Der of new bridges erected. In
this respect almost every commun-
ity has benefited. The public
schools were never in better condi-
ton or more prosperous than at
this time under the present efficient
administration. The sheriff's Office
is doing more work with less help
than ever before and the same is
true of the auditors Office. 1t
is also true of other county Offices
and the opposition is unable to
successfully refute these facts. The
people know them to be true and
are willing to let we'll enough alone.
That is one reason why the repub-
licans will not carry this county or
state in the coming election.

A LITTLE politics now and then
is relished by most all men. For
that reason the Press will indulge
in few political editorials during
the next few weeks. We will aim
to give our opinions fairly and treat
the subject from a democratic point
OF view, keeping in mind the fact
that men may honestly differ on
public questions and policies. An
honorable foe is worthy of respect
and so far as the Press is concern
ed we will conduct a clean cam
paign.
