OF the eccentric and often insOlent Lady Hol-

John B. Aichlmayr and o. d. Evans Plaintiffs
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1908-02-14

We are informed that Idaho
county warrants are now selling
at 80 cents on the dollar, or 10
cents below par. This means
that the county employees are
forced to accept 10 per ceat less
for their labor than their war
rants call for and that the banks
purchasing the warrants hold
them for three or four years and
collect full value for them to-
gether with 7 yer cent interest
added for each year they run.
This does not look very good in
the face of the fact that this
is the first time county warrants
have sold below par in this
county since about 1900. When
the democratic party went into
power in this county about
twelve years ago county warrants
were selling for about rs cents
on the dollar and the county was
in debt about $4,000. This debt
was gradually reduced during
the democratic administration,
until it amounted to only about
$40, 900 when the republicans
went back into power a little over
three years ago. County war;
rants also increased in value I'M
til they reached par value in 1900.
The tax levy was also reduced
during these eight years from
81. rs to $3,on the hundred dollars.
With the change of abministera-
ton the levy was still further
reduced to $2.75 the first year
and raised to 81. 85 the next year,
but these levies were too small
and consequently the county has
gone further into debt each year
until it's warrants have decreased
fully 10 per cent in value be-
cause of being dated from three
or four years ahead from pay
ment. This will necessitate the
payment of compound interest
for two or three years and does
not show very good business
management. We are not MAX
ing these comparisons for politi-
cal reasons but believe the tax
payers of Idaho county should
know the why and wherefor of
such matters.

Now that the water problem
has been safely solved, why not
begin to think about improving
our streets. As the city is free
from debt why not vote a bond
for SIS, 900 or $1,000 and use the
money to fill the main streets up
to grade and macadamize or pave
them then use the surplus
money to erect a city hall, jail
and hose house. If we are to
push our town to the front we
cannot wait for revenues to come
in. We must take on a bonded
debt the same as other towns.
No town can acquire modern con-
veniences without going into
debt and the sooner we follow
suit the sooner we will begin to
build up our city. With electric
lights, water works and paved
streets our city will invite people
to locate here, and if Cottonwood
is to become the principal city of
Idaho county we cannot sit back
and expect outsiders to make it
so. 1t will take constant and
concerted labor on the part of all
of our citizens and there is no
time like the present to begin
the work.
