The audience was made uo very largely of farmers and town peo- ple owning property in the reservoir district. and therefore having equally as much interest in the issue as those living in the country, The farmers present seemed to represent nearly all parts of the valley. There was a unan- unity of sentiment that was decidedly Dleasing. The applause was enthusias- tic and was participated in by nearly everybody.

Money Due, But Ungctable.

There Is now in the treasury of
I.atah county as in many other coun-
ties In Idaho, many thousands of dol
lars which rightfully belong to coun-
ty officials. Startling as this may
seem, yet II is so, and but little inves-
tigatlon Is necessary to find that such
a state of affairs exists. And this sit
uaton is brought about by the law
enacted by the state Legislature about
four years ago when II was ruled that
hotel expenses incurred while offlc-
ials are away from home and engag-
ed in the performance of their duties
ere Legitimate and should be made
good hy the county.
But the Latah county officials did
not know this and they allowed the
matter to go on until now Il Is too
late. All of them have several hund-
red dollars coming, but they cannot
put In any claims because the law
says that Mt the expiration of each
and every quarter they shall put In
voucher showing the monies they
have on hand as fees and the amount
they are entitled to retain as legiti-
mate expenses during said quarter
This voucher is literally quit claim
for all the time and they cannot ask
for back pay or back expenses which
they NAV have coming.-Moscow
