The appeal taken by the STAN
dard from the action of the COM
missioners in awarding the county
printing to this paper is a direct
slap at those officers as we'll as the
county attorney. If they made a
contract without knowing the law
in the matter, they are inc ompe-
tant and if knowing the law, they
entered into an illegal contract,
they are dishonest and subject to
severe criticism. The Free Press,
while it did not support these
gentleman as candidates and differs
from them politically, does not be-
lieve them either incompetent OF
dishonest and their regulations on
either point will certainly compare
fayorably with that of the Standard.

county printing was done and
that after the meeting Of the COM
missioners in January the county
printing would be done by the
Standard. 1t now appears that
facts were grossly misrepresented,
and that the peoples money was
obtained under false pretence and
the Standard people should be
honest enough to return it.

The Depository Bill.


Saturdays Tribune contains an
interview on the county depository
bill wherein Governor Gooding is
reported to have said that "Many
of the counties had no provision for
safes for their treasurer, and again
the salaries had been fixed at low
figures on the superstition III 8
former conditions would continue"
Taking all these points into con-
sideration, the Governor thought
it would be fair to make the meas
ure go into effect two years hence.
The bill should be passed now, but
it seemed to him that it would be
wise to postpone the time for it to
take effect. Now in this connec-
ton we desire to call attention to
the fact that the laws of Idaho
give county treasurers authority
to deposit county funds in bank
for safe keeping, (see Sec. 1867, X.
S. but they do not allow them to
make general deposits of public
funds nor use such funds for their
own benefit or receive interest on
them. The penal code provides
that every county treasurer who
receives interest on public monies
is felon and if such fact be proven
he shall be sent to the penitentiary
for a term Of not less than one
year and not more than ten years,
(see Sec. 1915, r. 50 But the
Governor of the great state OF
Idaho thinks it would not be fair
to pass law restraining county
officials from committing felonies
and then parading before the pub
lie as honest men. The legislature
is supposed to contain its full share
of consummate assess and when
members of the fifth legislature,
speaking on the salary law, boldly
declared that county treasurers re.
ceived good compensation by col
lecting interest on public funds and
voted for low salaries on thai
ground, they were regarded with
pity rather than contempt. Blu
when the governor says that thu
county officers are daily committing
high crimes against the peace ant
dignity Of the state, but that they
were elected with the hope of hav
ing an opportunity to take illega
interest and that it would not b.
"fair" to restrain them, peopl
have right to be alarmed ant
should stop and ask themselve
the question: "What is the worl,
coming tor" When the seventh
legislature passed state depositor,
law did the Supreme court think i
was not "fair" and therefore de
clare it defective and void? w,
desire to say to Mr.. Gooding ant
to the legislature and to the peopl
that the treasurers OF Idaho county
as far as can be ascertained, from
time immemorable have tried t,
conform to law and the commo,
rules OF honesty. Not single in
stance can be found where a coun
ty treasurer accepted cent of il

depoits have been made since 1897
Our present county treasurer keep

of the mission station at Lienchow
some 20 years ago. 1t was no easy task
for the Presbyterians to gain a foot
hold there, for. Notwithstanding the
professions of good will on the part of
the chief official of the city, repeated
and persistent obstacles were thrown
in the pathway of the missionaries
Negotiations for the purchase of land
and renting of houses fell short of
completion, after the owners had in
dicated their willingness to close a
bargain. This perpleXed the mission
aries greatly, for they had seen the
sub-prefect, who was a grandson of the
great Tseng-kwok-fan, and he had ex-
pressed the greatest friendliness and
