Last year the tax levy of Gus
ter county was $3.50, and this
year S3.75, and ought to have
been S4.00 to meet the increas-
ing county expenses. 1t was
hoped after the taxpayers have
been called upon for years to
meet an exhorbitant tax levy a
time would come sooner or later
when the taxpayers of this cOun-
ty might be assessed to pay a
reasonable tax. We do not
know nor does any other out
side person know, we believe,
the exact financial condition of
the county. But the expenses
of the county is growing more
each year is evident by the in
creasing tax levy, or else the
value of the property of the
county is decreasing rapidly.
The assessment roll of last year
and this year are about the
same, so the expenses must be
increasing. Isn't it about time a
retrenchment was commenced in
the management of the financial
affairs of Custer county ?

THE HORSE RACES.

and 10Th, were largely attended
and considerable money changed
hands on the result. There
were several good horses present
from the outside, viz Salmon
and Pahsamaroi, besides a num-
Der Lemhi Indians were present
with string of running horses.
The races were the best held in
Challis for years. The weather
was excellent for outdoor sport
ing, but the track was too heavy
to make fast time. The follow
ing races on Thursday the 18th,
were pulled off as advertised
One Fourth Mile Dash-Free
for Custer county, Pahsamaroi
and Lost River horses.
Entries Pig" Decker" !"
Prince" and Katie E."
Pig" won 1st money; Katie
E." End and Decker" Bird.
In this race Pig" took first
money easily, but Katie E."
did good work coming in under
the wire.
Novelty Race was the next to
be pulled off, and the entries
were Dewey, Dollar" Grey
Tom, and Japan"
Dewey" took first money at
the one-fourth mile pole, at the
600 yard pole and at the one half
mile pole.
In this race the contest was
very close indeed between Dol
lar" and Dewey" at the one
fourth mile pole, but from that
point Dewey" took the lead and
held it to the end of the race.
The last race of this day was
the 800 yard dash, free for all
horses, and was the most ex-
citing. The entries were Pig,
"Plunger," Babe" Katie E.
and Dick"
'Plunger" took 1st money
Katie E." 2nd and Babe" 3rd.
"Plunger" made an excellent
run from the start. and came
near distancing the other horses,
and won out by about 40 or 5C
feet. The fact Babe" won al
Salmon last july over George
S." lead many to believe thai
she would easily win this race,
''Plunger" run the 600 yards il
81 seconds, which was gooc
time for such a heavy track.
The judges were S. H. Wilco2
r. w. Morphey and James H

Vermont State Expenses.

We desire to call the attention of our
readers to the joint statement, on this
page, by the Treasurer and Auditor OF
the State, in reply to the article on
State Expenditures, furnished by "the
democratic advertising agent" and
printed in our columns two weeks ago
as advertising matter. We remarked
in the following issue that these expendi-
lures would have to be shown to have
been connected with corruption before
the people of Vermont would vote them
a disadvantage. After reading the Off
cial reply to the democratic misrepresen-
tations, on this subject, we do not see
how any intelligent person OF either
party can believe that there has been
anything wrong with these expenditures
The whole matter only shows to what
miserable straits the democrats are put
in their endeavor to reduce the republi.
can majority in Vermont, in the vain
hope of influencing the vote of states
which do not open the polls till Novem
Der. But the indications are that oul
prediction will hold good, which We
made two weeks ago, that this democra
advertising would not influence singh
republican vote in Vermont.

Solid Democratic Truth and Re-
publican Bad Faith.

In an argument, if you are allowed to
choose your starting point, or what, III
logic, is called "the premises" any con-
clusion desired may be arrived at. In
the democratic campaign document
published in our advertising columns
last week, this is just what Mr.. Daven-
port has done. There are two false
assumptions in his article. First, he
assumes that there were three parties,
democrats, clementites, and republicans,
when in fact there were only two parties,
republicans and democrats, only the
former were divided on the one question
of the best way to manage the liquor
traffic in the State of Vermont. The
high license and local option republicans
were in minority of their party, but
were in accord with the democratic
party on this one question, and together
they succeeded in preventing the prohi-
hilton republicans from violating the
pledge of the party. And for the
assistance which the democrats gave us
in that fight we are, we sincerely hope,
truly grateful. The other false assumr-
ton in the article is,that the democratic
party was the head and front of the
high license and local option movement
in Vermont, while Mr.. Davenport's own
figures show they were in minority
In other words it is another attempt SC
often tried by the democrats of "the tail
trying to wag the dog" And this is
but sample of Mr.. Davenport's logic
in the rest of his article.

ANGLES Letter.

The gross disagreement rife in
Cripple Creek, Colorado, affords the
markings of an ''issue," real live one,
which has ripened in time for election
purposes. The strenuous opponents of
the administration, in great need of
fresh material, have, Of course, been
quick to perceive an advantage in the
hesitation of the President to risk federal
interference with the governor of Color
ado in his dealings with difficulty
which to some minds has reached an
acute stage.
According to the authentic accounts
of respectable investigators the state
government allowed the toughest element
in organized labor to create, intermit-
tently, for several years, reign of terror
in Cripple Creek and vicinity. This
condition., in the minds of the other
citizens necessitated organization in
their own behalf. Up to date develop
ments show plainly what poor thing
home rule can be when, as in the present
case the governor is 80 grossly made
quate. After long continued course
of provocation upon the part of one set
of men in a community, organization
upon the part of the sufferers is most
apt to take the form of cruel retaliation !;
this allowed, constitutes civil war, lacking
the excuse Of noble purpose, civil war
which brings discredit upon the whole
people in the eyes of foreign governments
Such conditions form strong point in
an argument advocating increased pow
ers tor the chief magistrate and untram
elled opportunity, such as cannot be had
just previous to election; and under
present conditions the greater part OF
the attention of our public men is ab.
sorbed in the chances of election.
That ex President Cleveland and
President Roosevelt express different
opinions as to the limitations of the
powers Of the chief magistrate is tn,
fact which forms the germ of the "latest''
issue. Out of it arises the question,
"Can the governing force in each state
interpret the Constitution to suit them
selves?" Did the makers intend that
the grand document should have this
elasticity? If so they must have known
