DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

The Democratic party, and especially
the Democrats of Idaho, seem to have
a monopoly on the art of juggling with
figures. 1t is said and very thought
fully too, that figures never lie, but it
depends very much upon the manipu-
lator. The other night we were enter
tanned with some of the pregnant evil
dences of this kind in the comparison
Of the extravaganza of the Republican
party under Governor Mcconnell with
the wise and economic administration"
of Governor Hunt. Our friends take
no account of the increase in population
from s4.5S5 in 1896 to 100000 in 1902.
with the subsequent improvement and
increase in the valuation of property
of every kind which naturally would
reduce the taxation to the credit of the
Fusionist's administration.
In their platform adopted at the Po-
catello convention you will find these
words:
I'VE call attention to the fact that
the tax levy for state purposes has
been reduced under Democratic armin-
istration. The levy amounted to IS
cents on the 800 in 1895, the sixth and
last year of Republican administration
in this state, while in the present II
amounts to only 46 cents on the 500.
Believing the people of the state favor
an honest, efficient and econom-
ical administration of state gov
eminent we appeal with confidence to
the peoples suffrage, and promise to
continue the line of conduct which has
reduced taxation and expenses in the
past"
Now that reads beautifully and the
person who has no knowledge of the
facts cannot be readily induced to I'M
derstand that this paragraph is simply
a vote catcher and that the present
Democratic administration requires
more money to pay expenses than did
Governor Mcconnell.
In 1895 the assessed valuation of the
state was, in round figures, s29. 900, 600
At that time the amount to be raised
for the maintenance of the state gov
crnment was about $4,000. The as
sessed valuation of the state has risen
now until it stands at s61 900, 900. The
amount to be raised for state govern
ment is s246, 900. The levy is made on
last years assessment, when the total
was S51, 900, 900.
1t will readily be seen that. as the
assessed valuation has increased, the
percentage of tax has decreased. The

| trifiing manner. Had il been known
that such profits were being given &c
syndicates, it is fair to presume that
would have enjoined the state board
! from taking such action and exposed
their methods long since. The gen.
tlemen who were delegates to the Po-
catello convention knew nothing of
this condition. or at least the major
ity of them did not, else the country
would not have been asked to inquire
into the action of this board.
a majority of the present state land
board has been renominated for re-
election and are before the people
asking that they be given an opportu-
nifty to sacrifice what is left of the
pine forests in the state of Idaho. The
loss to the state during the last six
years in lumber alone, will amount to
millions of dollars. To approximate
the loss which the state has and will
sustain by the present management
we have only to ascertain the amount
of timber on an average township and
that by the number of town
ships that are covered by that kind of
timber.
1t is we'll known by the settlers in the
pine woods that an average quarter
section or homestead claim has on it
about $500. 900 feet of white pine tim
Der, which would amount to 10, 900, 900
feet on township. There were at
least six townships. of this timber OF

should have secured. leaving the set

zine alone, but the state has been re-
ewing only 81 per thousand thus en-
ailing a loss of $40, 300 900, while the
additional loss sustained by giving
way the cedar, tamarack ami all the
rees of less than IL inches in diameter
will swell the loss to at least $4,000
90. This loss is made not alone by

DUBOIS is "Ross."

The Democratic newspapers of Idaho
make but pitiable exhibition when
they try to explain charges made pub
licly against their state administra-
ton They do not explain at all and
they do not attempt to refute a single
charge. So far as the charges of gross
incompetency of the Hunt administra-
ton are concerned all of them with
marvellous unanimity let it entirely
alone. They have no stomach for IT,
All the Democratic press can say is
that the Republicans fill their papers

On the charges of rank incompetency

Democratic state administration, OPEN
ly made and backed up by facts and
figures and incontrovertible proof, the
Democratic press and speakers are as
dumb as dough. They realize that
they have no defense and have moth
ing to say. Some of them openly de-
nounce Hunts action on the Arney
penitentiary affair, while others fesb-
ly defend it, but none of them have
the hardihood to advocate those official
acts of his administration that have
recently been coming to light. The
Republican papers of Idaho have re-
peatedly thrown down the gauntlet.

DEMOCRATIC DISCREPANCY.

The desperation of Governor Hunt
over the exposure of his utter reckless
ness with respect to his duties is shown
by the defense made in the matter of
his drawing on his travelling expense
fun to pay the expenses of his trip
fund to pay the expenses of his trip
tirely Illegal, no defense can be made OF
1t. and so the usual course is pursued
of pleading that somebody else did
something reprehensible.
The governors organ thus delivers
itself on the subject: 1.-The records at
the state house show that the latter
(McConnelD got an appropriation of
$4,000 for travelling expenses (passed by
a Republican legislature) and then drew
a lot of deficiency warrants against the
fund after all the money was gone"
When the governor put his organ in
possession of that startling material he
should have instructed 1t to verify the
statement before putting 1t into print.
OF course. 1T would not help Hunt
particle If some other governor had
spent $4,000 The question is as to how
he has discharged his duties, and evil
dence of his disregard for the law is
lOuIiu III lHe IlldHutT III WHICH ut ex-
pended this fund.
His only defense is the allegation
that Mcconnell spent $4,000. If that is
valid defense. 1t would follow that 1t
could be invoked If the present governor
had spent as much. The Democrats
profess to think that Mcconnell was a
very bad official. but whenever they
get caught in wrong-doing they at once
appeal to precedent which they claim
to have found In the record of the Nc
Connell administration.
In this case, however, they go farther
and deliberately misstate the charge,
pretending to believe that the governor
has been criticised for expanding the
fund. 1t is not the fact of the expen-
diture of the fund but the Illegal man
ner of it's expenditure that has been
pointed out as an Illustration of the
recklessness of the present governor;
but the defense offered is that Nc
Connel1 spent $4,000 while Hunt has
spent only 5000.
The fact is that Mcconnell did not
spend $4,000. He spent only $500, a small
deficiency being certified by the board
of examiners. The charge made by the
Democrats is on par with all the 9TH
ers made from time to time against
Mcconnell in the hope of diverting at
tention from the derelictions of Cover
nor Hunt.
The governors organ says the records
show Mcconnell exhausted an appro
priation of $1,000. They show nothing

assessed valuation on which the levy
is based is nearly double, consequent
ly the percentage can be nearly cut in
two and still raise as much money.
AS a matter of fact, the levy has not
been decreased, as claimed by the plat
form, but has been increased. The
amount now being raised for state pur-
poses is greater than in 1895, though
the percentage is less. That platform,
like all those of the Democratic party,
stoops to jugglery that is not very
creditable when exposed.
