AN INTERESTING LETTER
ON DEFICIENCY WARRANTS

Dear Maverick: l have just fin
ishcd reading the Governors mes
sage and there is part of it l de-
sire to comment on in your paper if
you will give me space.
In speaking of the assassin alton
of Ex-Governor Steunenburg he says
in subsistence, that the case was of
too gigantic d character to be
handled by Canyon county, and
that the state officers relieved the
county officials of the burden and
undertook the investigation of the
case, and incidentally the expenses
thereof.
He further states that he issued
deficiency warrants to cover the
expenses of the investigation, and
that he called upon the banks and
bankers of the state to purchase
the same, which they did, upon his
guarantee that the legislature would
pass a law legalizing same, and
make an appropriation for their
payment.
Now the question arises, on
what fund were these deficiency
warrants drawn? There was nc
fund created heretofore by any leg
islature for the purpose, and as none
can be created hereafter to pay
these particular deficiency war
rants can't see where these
banks and bankers are going tc
get their money, unless Goodine
pays it himself, which | think he
will be compelled to do before he i:
through with it.
The reason these deficiency
warrants cannot be paid by the
legislature is as follows:
The drawing of these deficiency
warrants was an unauthorized anC
invalid act, for there was no funC
created at the time they were
drawn, to pay them, and neithei
the Governor or any other safe Off
Ger has authority to draw warran
against fund that does not exist
: at the time the warrant wa
drawn.
Now paragraph 10, section 10
article 3, constitution of Idaho
reads:
1.-THE Legislature shall not pas
any special or local laws to legaliz
as against the state any unauthor
lied or invalid act of any officer.
And especially do we see tina
to draw a deficiency warrant

That neat and lovable little coin,
the dime, has had most useful
history. AS far as we are aware IT
is unique among the worlds coins,
having no nearer equivalent than
the English six pence, which is
worth two cents more. II is one
of the handiest of coins, being
about as small as silver piece
can conveniently be. Being less
in size and weight than the
nickel, which is worth only hall
as much, it is vastly more con-
venient to keep and hoard, and
that is one reason why it is be-
coming extraordinarily scarce in
spite of the fact that more dimes
are now turned out of the minis
than ever before in the country's
history. There is a large rage for
''dimc banks,' and some Of these
mechanical contrivances are sc
pretty, SO ingenious and so allurine
that they force people to save dime:
who have no ear bly occasion to d.
/ so
Mountain Home maverick. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1906-1911, 1907-01-24

against fund that does not exist
is unauthorized and invalid when
we read section i3 article seven of
the constitution; it says: mo
money shall be drawn from the
treasury except in pursuance of ap-
preparations made by law" Of
course no money has been drawn
from the treasury as yet, but it will
be if the Legislature makes the ap-
preparation asked by the governor
in his message.
But will not such a law, if pas
sed, be unconstitutional?
1. Paragraph IA, section 10,
article constitution says: "The'
legislature shall not pass any
special or local laws releasing or
cxtinguishing in whole or in part
the Indebtedness, liability, or obli-
cation of any person or corpora
tion in this state or of any mu-
nicipal corporation.
Now that being the law, and
Canyon county being municipal
corporation law making an appro-
priation or creating fund for the
payment of the deficiency war
rants would simply be, in effect,
a law releasing Canyon county in
whole or in part from the liability
and the costs incurred in a criminal
prosecution, which arose in Canyon
county and rightfully belonging to
that county, and that is forbidden by
the section above quoted.
.. 1t would be an cxpost factc
law, in this, that it would create &
fund to pay warrants that were
drawn against it before the func
existed, and by so doing validate ar
illegal contract, or in other words
it would make acts already per
formed and debts created valid anc
binding on the state that were no
valid, or binding on the state, whcr
the acts were performed or tn,
debts created.
8. 1t would be special law il
fund for the purpose of prosecuting
, certain and particular persons, a
plainly SO as if the enacting claus
should read AN act to create
:, fund for the prosecution of Meyer
!, Haywood and Pettibone, on tn
: charge of murder. -
And such law is prohibited b
, the constitution as we'll as by ever
instinct of justice.
= l believe the law provides tha
any such law can be questioned
q any citizen of the state by injunc
q ton against the state treasurer
: and the constitutionality would b
. decided; at any rate the suprem
q court would be put on record in re
O gard to same.
= Yours truly,

A REAL SANTA CLAUS
Harry Harrington Makes a Whole
Town Happy.

Harry Harrington, proprietor of the
Harrington Foundry of this city, has
been masquerading as a Santa Claus of
unusual proportions and he has been
successful in concealing his identity
in handsome Christmas work during
Il whole year. The story has been
too good to keep, however, and the
gratitude OF those benefited brings
the affair to light.
Mr.. Harrington last season was out
in Wyoming. The good people of
Worland had peen struggling for a
church. The Baptists, who had been
worshiping in tent which was
much too small, finally succeeded in
building good church. The problem
of a bell was raised and the whole
people became interested. IF Wor-
land could only have real church
bell" The wish became town talk and
Mr.. Harrington became impressed
with the sincerity of the people. He
came home to Oskaloosa and proceed
ed to cast bell. The work was per
feet. 1t was large piece of work,
but Mr.. Harrington obtained unus-
dally excellent results.
The gentleman placed the bell
aboard car and shipped it to the
good people of Worland with his COM
pllments, as Christmas gift
The Joy of the church folk and of
he people of the town knew no
pounds. and Mr.. Harrington has be-
come a patron saint with that commun-
ty. The bell was hung and is doing
weekly service in the belfry over the
little building. The tone is said to
be unusually clear and penetrating,
but of a softness and purity that is
often wholly wanting. Mr.. Harring-
ton said never a word to any one
about the affair. and the little story
might have remained unknown but
for a little accident which brought
it to the notice of the press.

thither in terror of his uncle, who he
said had killed and eaten eight human
beings. There, too. he saw woman
who last winter killed and ate her two
children, so great was the famine.
The woods seemed almost entirely
without the usual number of deer and
rabbits, upon which animals the ma
tives ordinarily subsist.
AS these occurrences did not seem
to have caused any tremendous stir in
that region Osborne has come to the
conclusion that canniballsm is prac-
ticed openly upon many occasions
among the Indians and half-breeds.
Osborne says the Indian and Eski-
mo population of the region is dimin-
ishing rapidly, due, partly to emigra-
ton to the coast of Labrador and part
ly to the prevalence of disease and
frequent scarcity of food.

A Preachment.

Laugh today; you may run nail in
your foot tomorrow.
Be good; it is the only safe invest
ment that pays ten per cent on the
dollar. ..
Be kind; it makes your life like a
June day, attracts friends and con-
POUNDS enemies. w"rvr.. a.1
Be just; you never can tell how
soon the fellow to whom you were un.
just will have the screws on you. .
Be liberal; you may be hungry your
self some day.
Be joyous; there is but one life to
live and to miss having had any graf
ificaticn out of 1t Is calamity, indeed.
Be true; then you may expect 9TH
ers to be true to you.
Be sincere; others noting your sin.
certify, will give you their condolences
and be likewise sincere with you.
Be thoughtful; the iron enters the
soul in after life when we have been
neglectful of those who have loved US.
Be careful; otherwise trouble may
follow in your wake, the con man will
5GIl you bOlu uIlCA5 anu
will brand you as an easy mark
If you smoke, smoke good cigars
and fewer of them.
If you drink, go the linton tenn
perance' drinks and stop there. No
man ever built success on the basis
of moderate or immoderate drinking
of intoxicating liquors. To trifle with
them is more dangerous than trying
to count the teeth of buzz-saw in &C
ton.
Don't overeat. Success, money or
fame never brought worn out man
a new stomach.
If you can afford good clothes, wear
them; otherwise be happy in what
you can afford. No matter your in
come, select the quiet garb of gen.
tleman. No man was ever heard very
far by the loudness of his costume.
Live right and give others chance
to do the same. Don't underpay your
employees or overcharge those who
deal with you.
These are simple rules, yet few fol-
low them all. He who does will be
happy and life, to him, will be worth
living.

Lons Toe Nails Divorce Cause.

Bloomington, Ill.-Long untrimmed
toe nails tipped with razor like edges
were the causes for which Mrs. Henry
Newland was granted divorce in the
Fulton county court. She said her hus-
band used these nails with peculiar
dexterity, often causing her intense
pain. -., ,,.. t...-
BY the finding of the court in this
case, husbands must trim their toe
pals or render themselves liable in a
suit for marital freedom.
1t has been juditiously determined
that husband may not, with impuni.

weapons of torture upon his wife.

habit of talking aloud as he goes
about his work, the farmer thought
he had told the family all about the
gun, while, as a matter of fact, he
had only preached the subject while
in the company Of cows and pigs.
For much longer time than the
fox had bothered about, Dennis had
been industriously sparkling Bridget,
maid of all work, coming from two
miles down the road to beg, implore
and beseech her to become mistress
of his family. But Bridget was slow
in making up her mind. The travelling
butcher had made overtures, and she
wasn't certain. While she hesitated
the accident happened.
Dennis appeared at nine p. N. per
agreement, approaching the house
from the rear. He was TO get his
final answer and was nervous. Posi-
bly, that is why his feet Jagged asd
he stumbled over the string attached
to the gun. However IL was the gun
went off and away went the big toe
on the SWANS left foot.
Immediately there was an uproar.
Farmer Stewart and his good wife
rushed forth; so did Bridget, and
when the girl saw the plight OF Den
mis- her heart softened and there and
then she promised to take him for bet
ter or worse. Later she admitted to
Mrs Stewart that If Dennis hadn't
lost his toe he might have lost a wife,
but that doesn't matter a mite now
