As sample of the way assess
ments are made here in this county,
note this:
A msn living near Dingle has a
place for which he asks $1,000. 1t
is a fine farm, we'll stocked with
cattle, horses, etc., contains splendid
improvements and so OH. He pays
less than $40 in taxes. A man in
Montpelier owns lot and a small
home and has business out of
which he makes living his state,
county and school taxes are $50.
One could sell for 5000 at least,
the other couldn't get $4,000 for
his belongings to save bis neck.
And there are hundreds of such
instances.

A good malF people wonder why
money has frightened up throughout
The western states. If they will read
the bank statements they will quick
~ see. All banks arc carrying from
40 to rs per cent OF their deposits
in cash. Ordinarily they only have
about 25 per cent on hand. Immense
piles of money are lying idle in all
the banks. Just why no one seems
to know. Naturally every dollar
in the bank vaults is just that much
money taken out of circulation.
No doubt this stringency will let up
just after the new year.

According to the artists, the year
1908 has grown from a child to a

space of IL months. Evidently old
Father Time goes a pretty swift
pace.

The Real Criminal.

Some have often been sorely vexed
to determine in certain conditions
who is the criminal. They have
been convinced that all is not right
nnd Is not just as 1t should be, but
they have not always been able to
determine, first, whether an offense
has been committed, and, second, if
one has been, who is guilty
They know the circumstances
pretty we'll, but they find from ex-
perience that they are often mis-
taken III the conclusions they reach
from the facts within their knowl-
edge. This difficulty arises, no
doubt, from the fact that they are
not sufficiently discriminating, OF
that there are facts beneath the sur.
face which they have not been able
to know.
But from this time on they need
have no fear OF mistake. The INST.
ter should be as clear as mud to
them.
Two late events In this county and
city should enlighten them beyond
the possibility of future error. Las,
year the county had All official that
was an acknowledge defaulter. Il
was and still Is und,sputed that he
had embezzled hundreds of dollars
of the peoples money and that th,
county has not yet been reimbursed
by the amount, but has been put to
considerable expense III an effort,
which so far has not terminated il
success, to compel q return to the
people, through the county treasury,
of the amount sto' from them
The official who took the money was
permitted to complete his term, and
when that had expired he was allow
ed to remain around the city, much
the same as ordinary citizens, unit
such time as he saw fit to take hil
departure. He is still free.
The other case is that of a news
paper man who had no more sense
than t" make an effort to expose tc
the people certain transactions which
he considered questionable. HI
stated some facts that he had upol
unquestioned authority and asked
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1903-12-25

some questions. He is defending
himaelt on a criminal charge before
the courts.
The moral of all of which would
seem TO be, ''If you want to keep
out of the criminal courts, steal the
peoples money. but never, under
any circumstances, try to inquire IN
to the actions of public officials. -
