that it will elect more than two doz-

pear that the republican party is
torn by bitter factional fights in
every county in the state. There
was about as much truth III the
article as one could expect, coming
from the source it did. The follow
ing paragraph, relative toe Bear
Lake county, shows that the writer
ia either woefully ignorant of the
situation or else willfnlly misrepre
sented it:
In Bear Lake county, where Stake
President William Bulge is the Re-
publican dictator, the Borah people
have hopes, Notwithstanding the
fact that the Mormon element has
hitherto pinned its faith to GoodIng
and Brady. The redoubtable
fsBarney" O'Neill, even though he
does live far IN the north of Idaho,
is associated in business with Presi-
dent Bulge, and his influence at
this time. it is hoped, will be potent.
But, irrespective of any deals
which they may put up with individ-
uals IN the Mormon counties, the
Borah people hope to land the entire
Mormon contingent by showing
them that their interest lies with
Borah. They say they will be able
TO convince Stake President Parkin-
son of Oneida county, Stake Presi-
dent Bulge and the other leaders OF
the Mormons throughout Idaho
that Gooding is bound to be defeat
ed, regardless of the votes of the
six Mormon counties, and that, i
they follow Goodlng to the end

NEED MORE REVENUE.

The question of devising ways
and means of increasing the annual
revenue of the city is one that the
council should give some serious
thought. The revenue for the fiscal
year just closed was not sufficient
by about 5000 to meet the current
expenses. It is true, some unusual
expense was incurred the past year
in connection with the water works
proposition, but that expense did
not exceed the amount that the city
now short But why should the
,ity try to plug along with the same
amount of revenue now that it has
for the past eight or ten years?
That might be done if there was no
desire to make any improvements
That Montpelier Is decidedly behind
the times In the matter of municipal
improvements, is an admitted fact,
and it must remain in that condition
until means is DEVISED of increasing
the revenue.
From the state exchanges we OBJ
serve that the revenue ordinances in
number of towns have been
amended lately SO as to increase the
revenue. The village trustees Of
Salmon City last week passed an
ordinance licensing every line of
business conducted in the town, in
Guiding the newspapers, which will
hereafter be required to pay Sc. 90 a
year. Following are the annual
licenses fixed for some of the other
classes of business in that town:
banks, $25; livery stables, sl2:
hotels $l2; lodging houses IS; res
taurants $s; barber shops So; lawyer.
.5xaeian and dentist So; merchants
sTom $40 toss5e.
IL such an ordinasnee was put il
force IN Montpelier, Nee revenue
would he increased many fsRld, ant
the city woald have funds saffSeien
to put its streets in the very hes
of condition and keep them thu
way. There are many other way
in which the money could be spent
in improving our city.
The increased revenue thus raised
would find its way right back int
the various channels of trade and n;
business or professional man woult
be any loser by the small license I'M
posed. If the city had $4,000 t.
expend on its streets in a year, in
stead of $1,000, it would mean jus
$1,000 more paid for labor AM
material, every cent Of which woul'
be spent right at home.
Again we say, it Is time the cour
Gil was taking action upon this in
portant question, and provide
revenue sufficient to enable the cit
to make needed Improvements.
