ELSEWHERE the TRIBUNE pub
fishes communication from
County Assessor G. A. Bailor,
wherein he takes exceptions to
an editorial in last weeks issue.
The communication is published
willingly. There are always two
sides to every discussion and a
spirit OF fairness should prevail.
However, Mr.. Bailor probably
has not sufficiently considered
the Ito him) other side of the
county seat removal proposition.
II he had it is not unlikely that
he would have recognized that
the Tribune's remarks of last
week were, apparently at least,
not without some grounds. For
instance: What this paper SAID
about Mr.. Bailor was based on
rumor, widely circulated for
some time, and Mr.. Bailor's at.
titude on county seat removal
(Which he does not deny) has
not served to contradict these
rumors but rather to lend
strong credence to them. What
we said about Mr.. Doty was
based on his own statements in
the st. Maries Gazette, where, in
speaking OF the removal ques-
tion, he said he felt bound to
consult Mr.. Bailor's interests;
Mr.. Bailor's attitude being
known, the inference to be drawn
from Mr.. Doty's remark seems
clear.
County officials WELD some in
tiuence, and it must be admitted
that when they discuss questions
OF public interest to strengthen
or create sentiment their re-
marks are legitimate subjects
for criticism. Then the propriety
OF men paid to work for the
whole county using the influence
OF their official position to bene-
fit part OF the county to the de-
triment of other parts, is ques-
tlonable.

Communication.
Editor RATHDRUM TRIBUNE:

Editor RATHDRUM TRIBUNE:
In your issue OF last week appears
what purports to be an editorial con-
corning my position on the question
OF the removal Of the county-seat,
which Is misleading, aud in some par
ticulars untrue.
You tie that am working hard
to help remove the county-seat to
Occur d'Alene, in return for which /
am to have Occur d'Alene's support
for the republican nomination for
sheriff. have never considered
being candidate for sheriff, and no
one from Occur d'Alene has spoken to
me concerning it, to say nothing Of
promising me their support. The
only person who ever suggested that
l should be a candidate for sheriff
was a Rathdruln man, and l did not
consider his suggestion seriously.
Consequently, your statement to this
effect Is untrue.
You further state that my field
deputies Jobs depend on their ability
to discuss Occur d'Alene's side of the
county-seat removal question. /
have not employed my deputies for
their ability in discussing public
questions, but rather for their prof.
cheney In making assessments, and
their knowledge of valuations. l
could hardly afford to pay them for
time spent 10 talking county-seat re-
moval, when the compensation al
lowed me is insufficient to secure a
full and accurate assessment OF the
property OF this county and leave a
reasonable remuneration for myself.
The fact that my chief deputy, who
Is now working In the field, is a Rath.
drum man, Is sufficient to show the
falsity OF this statement.
While l may have my opinions as
GIL A"uiNiuVoi duu ClOlLcu VI hOUUe-
nal county as to the merits OF the
county-seat controversy, l have not
used The assessors office to exploit
them, nor ia the interests of either
C9ur d'Alene or Rathdrum, and do
not expect to do so. Mr.. Doty, and
my other deputies probably have their
personal OBJ nions in the matter, and
l suppose they are at liberty to en-
press them, IL they choose to do so,
but 1t is hardly fair that they should
be charged to me.
