The Independent has q long ramb.
ling editorial in its last issue favor.
ing the granting Of a franchise to
the Interstate Telephone company for
a local exchange and admits that it
means double system OF telephones
for every business man in the city.
Ii jnsti1es this expense with its &C.
companying nuisance of the two sys.
TENS by making big cry that 1t puts
the merchant into direct communica-
tion With the St. Joe country and
means a great increase in business as
a result Of the convenience Of tele-
phoniug in orders. This argument
might be good If 1t were proposed to
shut the new company out entirely,
but that is not the case, for every
business man Is In favor Of giving it
a franchise for a long distance toll
station aud then IL 1t 10 deemed best
to extend the franchise to local ex-
change later, this might be done.
But the advantages to be gained by
such a franchise at this time are not
equal to the Inconvenience and ad-
ditional expense involved. Two
local telephone exchanges are an ex
peusivs Inconvenience. The indie
pendent also argues that the company
offers a reduction IN rates. This Ii
partly true, but II reserves the right
to raise rates after 1t has installed
$50 phones. In other words, 1t ID
will q to be liberal until it Is firmly
established and runs the other com
pany out Of business, which some Of
its supporters claim will be the re.
suit, then it will raise prices under
it's reservation of rights.

THE DIFFERENCE.

What difference does it make to
the average citizen whether the
democrats or the republicans have
charge of local county Offices? As
matter of fact the real interests of
the people lie in the kind Of admin
istratiOn We have. IL the officers are
economical and manage the county
in the interest of the people; If they
keep taxes down to the minimum; IL
the money is expended for public i'm
provements and not wasted through
incompetency and reckless methods,
the people ought to be satisfied.
Have these things been done during
the past two years Of republican rule
10 Kootenai county IL seems to us
the question j. answered by one act
Of the board Of county commissioners.
They have raised the tax levy from
81 70 on 300 valuation last year
and for the two years previous, to
SO. 10 this year That is a raise Of
forty cents iu the amount Of taxes
sou viii pay. In addition 10 TINS
the value Of every stock of msrchan-
disc in Kootenai county was raised
20 per cent, cattle we're raised liz
per cent and land 80 per cent in
value. which will add to your taxes
sufficiently to make them from 80 TO
40 per cent higher than ever before.
II the merchant bad a stock Of goods
which he turned In for assessment at
81, 600 the board of equalization
has increased that 30 per cent, max
ing its assessed value %. 400. Under
the old levy aud with your valuation
of 81, 600 your general taxes would
be S54. Under the increased levy
aud valuation you would pay s74.40.
That l. the difference. Add to it the

amounting to 81 20, and on your

TIE MORAL vOTE.

One Of the greatest and most
effective arguments used in favor of
woman suffrage has been that it would
purify politics; that the women would
vote on the right side of all moral
questions and many needed reforms
would be carried out ii they had the
ballot Idaho is one Of the few states
that has given the right of suffrage TO
the women and for the first time
since they have enjoyed that right
they are called upon to vote on a
moral question of greatest impor-
lance. When the ballots are counted
they will tell the world how the
women Of Idaho voted on the Mormon
question. Their votes will say to
the world whether or not the claim
that has been made for woman suff
rage is justified. The question Of
pOlygamy 10 an issue in this cam
paign and there is no getting away
from It, II there is no polygamy, no
harm can possibly be done any person
by the enactment Of laws to ehectual-
ly suppress it and no one but polyg-
amist can be hurt by such legislation.
Non MOrmons do not fear it while
Mormons are fighting the democratic
party on the question. Therefore il
is up to the women to vote with the
democrats or with those who are
fighting them on this subject. II
they d } not vote the moral side OF
the question the theory Of woman
purifying politics is a sham and a
dslusioa. We do not believe that the
women Of Idaho are going to put
themselves in this position. The
votes will tell, and when they are
counted We believe it will be found
that the women of Idaho are true &c
their convictions on these moral
questions. Morality With them ii
above party and We believe this truth
will be demonstrated at the coming
+ election.

Congressman French made a nice
speech last night at the Auditorium,
but he did not tell his audience that
the Latah county delegation in the
state convention was pledged to vote
for Governor Morrison's reuomina-
tion and by the persistent and paths-
tic pleading of French were induced
to betray their constituents aud vote
for Gooding because the Gooding-
Mormon crowd threatened French
with defeat unless he delivered the
votes fof his county TO them. That
was French's opportunity to make a
trusted man Of himself Instead Of
surrendering he could have said
Gentlemen, defeat me if you will;
| can never ask my delegates to be
tray the trust imposed on them by
our county convention; they will
stay with Morrison, do your dirty
work. =" Even though he might have
been defeated at that time, be would
have been q big man in the stats,
but he was not big enough for the
occasion,

assessed valuation of %, 400 you
will pay tax of s1ls,40. That 10
what every merchant in this city will
pay and if you think 1t is not yet
high enough you ought to vote the
republican ticket, which will be an
endorsement Of the methods that
have made the increase necessary and
encourage further extravaganza in
the expenditure of your money. II
you think your taxes are high enough
it seems to us that it will be to your
interest and the interest of the people
to vote the democratic ticket, the
candidates ON which are plegded to
economy and lower taxes. The past
record of the party in the county is
such that these promises may reason
ably be expected to be carried out
Previous to 1908 the democrats had
paid of large warrant indebted
ness and reduced the general tax levy
from IS. 90 to 80. 20 at which rate II
was fixed when the republicans we're
given control of the county. Whether
you are a republican or something
else politically it may be your duty,
it certainly is your privilege, to vote
your national party ticket, but when
il comes to the state and county
ticket the question of morals, econ
omy and honest government ought to
have some weight. We do not be-
lieve that a majority OF the people Of
Idaho are going to vote for Mormon
ism, polygamy, reckless expenditures
Of state and county funds and higher
taxes. We all know conditions are
now bad enough without voting to
make them worse.

II you do not wish to vote a
straight ticket, leave the cross
out of the circle under the party
name and mark cross in the cir
Gle to the right Of each Candidat
for whom you wish to vote on cleo
tlon day. There are hundreds OF re-
pubIicans who intend to vote the
democratic state and county ticket
and they should be careful about
marking their ballots. A cross in
the circle under the party name votes
the whole ticket.
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1892-1907, 1904-10-22

The wise lawmakers of the last
Legislature may have thought that
they were doing very smooth job
when they amended the ballot law so
as to make voters unwittingly vote a
straight ticket. The law provides
that if you wish to vote a straight
ticket you simply put a cross In the
circle under the party name, II you
are not careful and wish to vote
mixed ticket you will be thwarted by
the euuningly devised method of
marking, After you have marked
the cross in the circle under the
name of the party, any other crosses
that you make on any other party
ticket will not count unless you are
careful to scratch out the name Of
the person you wish to vote against.
We do not believe the law would
stand the test of the courts, but the
safe way is to be careful of the man
ner in which you mark your ballot.
There is another way to vote a mixed
ticket and that is by not putting cross
in the circle under the party name.
By emitting 1t you can then vote
your choice by the old method of
making a cross in the circle at the
right Of every name you wish TO vote.
This Is the safe way. Do not mark
your ballot under the name Of the
party, but vote for the individuals.
