The Strength

and durability of our lumber are the
strong points upon which we pride
ourselves. The yellow fir planks, shown
in our yards, have the strength of an
elephant. 1t is OF well selected stock,
free from knots and other imperfec-
tiOns impairing durability.

Called Down.

Brother Mott, of the Republican,
called US down last week for saying
no one could accuse us of mercer
nary Motives" in wishing the bien-
NAL election amendment defeated
and asked US to figure up how
much we get extra every year. We
find we are guilty in making $1.73
on extra board proceedings. Well
now we are interested. We could
not figure out how we we're going
to get in until pointed out to us
and now of course since we would
lose $1.73 every other year, we know
where we are at. The printing of
the table for the official returns
would contain all the names of the
candidates that would appear au-
nually must appear each second
year so that that portion of the
bill would not be lessened.
Since the subject of cost or extra
cost is up, we have gone to our files
to fignre out the cost of an election
in Audubon county and while we
may have left out some little details
the Approximate cost is about as
we give it. The greater part of the
expense is for judges of election
and ia aa follows.

Halloween Party:

The young men of the town re-
ceived peculiar envelope bord-
cred in black and sealed with the
death signal and CONSERVATION
struck them dumb Gathering
courage however they finally drew
away from all others and broke the
seal and drew out the interior sheet.
The sheet was black and when
they opened it a white witch on a
broom soaring through space and
the following invitation given
them.
The spookiest things you have ever seen
Will occur on the eve of halloween,
Ii you Will come to certain dark street
With ghosts and witches there to meet.
This only, We'll give you fol- a sign
Two Jack lanterns will in the windows shine
And unless you care to be left to your fate,
Be sure and be there by quarter past eight.
We suspect that on that evening
boys alone and in groups may be
seen looking in at windows and
peering into houses in all quarters
of the town. We give the timely
warning to save the, boys any
trouble from people shooting at
them az buPlars,

Total 1901 SO
For delivering and returning bal
lots and for janitor in one case we
find total of $3.50. For printing
ballots, proclamation, instruction
cards and supplies $168.05. Then
add $l52.76 for printing official table
about $3.46 extra board proceedings
and the grand total of $66l.27. We
did not include what the supervis-
ors may have to charge extra in the
above figures, but they would not
add over $1,000. Now let the aver
age tax payer of the county take
these figures and see what he will
pay per thousand and he will find
he pays about one-sixth mill per
thousand toward this enormous
cost of yearly election. Don't let
them fool you on those points.
Again, $301.60 of this amount go
back into each township. A great
deal more in most townships than
goes out as the total property valu-
alton of the townships having
towns is greater than come having
no towns.
Who will say, too, that this money
is i'll spent? Every year these
judges of election are called togeth-
er and the topics of the times dis
cussed. They gain somethin & new,
keep in touch with business meth
DDS, keep the young voters educat-
ed to the Australian ballot system
and the whole community is more
in touch with the great machinery
of state.
We have tried to keep close to
the actual figures in our statement
and although it may look as if we
were mercernarily interested, we
repeat that no editor will be small
enough to sell himself for $78.11
when he knows he will not lose
that amount, and rise to say again,
vote "No" in the biennial election
amendment.

In response to request from
Superintendent w. r. Siders, Of the
Pocatello public schools, Attorney
General Bagley handed down an
opinion at BOISE in which he holds
that no religious exercises can be held
in the public schools of the state and
that teachers are not permitted undsr
the Law to even read tho Bible II ~
schools. The opinion, which is quite
lengthy, quotes- from the decisions Of
different courts to show that the Bible
is regarded as sectarian book, a.
though all denominations take their
doctrines from some portion of it.
The opinion in closing holds:
GAN religious exercises in the pub
lie schools are prohibited by law.
Bible reading is not permitted in the
public schools. Teachers are not
permitted to offer sectarian or de-
nominational prayers in school or to
require pupils to do the same, The
singing of all sectarian and denomin'
ational songs is prohibited I"
The request was based on the state
ment that Mormonism is being taught
in some of the public schools II
southeastern Idaho. The attorney
general is Mormon.
