PANNING OUT,

Time and time and again, The Tri-
bune has advised all who desire polit-
ical preferment, to first secure the en-
nifty of the Boise Statesman. The
Boise paper was never known to be of
real help to its friends. Some of them
have succeeded in measure in spite
of their handicap. Our contention is
once more exemplified in the case of
Treasurer Hastings. Like a sensible
man Mr.. Hastings told the Statesman
to go TO heck. He is now on the road
to success. Under the republican par
to success. Unless the republican par
ty is composed of lot of towards, Mr.
Hastings will be re-nominated easily
He has done his duty as a man and
the people approve of his stand during
the recent financial panic and since
Without display he has quietly done
his duty as man and officer. We
think he has carried out the law in
every main particular. There seems
to be little or no opposition to his re,
nomination.

The recent session of the County
assessors has demonstrated that Ida
no has mighty poor arrangements for
getting at the value of the property in
the State. Take Ada County, for in
stance, there is but 5000 in cash as
sessed; there is but one or two au-
tomobiles. on the list; there is $3.50
worth of musical instruments in the
County. 1t is evident that the assess
ment is practically a farce. Much of
these conditions is due to the qualifi-
cations of the man in the Office. The
revenue laws require overhauling so
as to conform to present conditions.
1t has been but a few years since
there was hardly a county in the
State but that one man could assess,
now a majority of the counties require
from two to ten and yet there is no
provision in the law whereby the bills
for help in the assessors Office can be
allowed by the commissioners.

Tax Commission is Recommended.

The committee of five assessors, APP
pointed to investigate and make re-
concentrations in revenue laws will
urge the next legislature to enac.

ing assessed valuations throughput

tenai, l.. b. Case of Bannock, and NJ.
Gilkison of Washington. The first
three members of the committee were
present at the meeting yesterday, and
discussed the revenue laws. Two OF

Congressman Harris, the pride of
Weiser, has announced his willing
ness to withdraw from the contest in
the interests of harmony in the ranks
of the unwashed and unterrified de-
mocracy of Idaho. Perhaps the re-
doubtable Colonel sees, as through a
glass darkly, the overwhelming de-
feat arising on the horizon and due
to arrive November Sd, and wants to
get out of the way. Or perhaps he is
willing to forego the honors, emolu-
ments and perquisites attached to the
congressional position in order to
serve his admiring constituency ano-
Their term as prosecuting attorney
1t will be a serious blow, however, to
the forces of morality and upholders
of the purity of the home" if the
Colonel lays down at this stage of the
game-Weiser Signal.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Two weeks ago The Tribune an
nounced that Hon John T. Morrison
of Boise would accept the nomination
for attorney general. Since then ia
vorable comment has been made by
many of the prominent newspapers
of the state. Everyone comedies Mr..
Morrison's fitness and ability. Every
one thinks that he would add strength
to the ticket. Everyone knows that
he is the ablest man, so far mentioned
for the position. He is able, clean,
and above board. The candidates for
other positions greet Mr.. Morrison
with enthusiasm. While some of them
are pledged, in way, to other aspi-
rants, they all recognize in him the
strongest man that could possibly be
placed forth. A short interview from
Mr.. Morrison appears elsewhere in
| this issue of The Tribune Our read
ers see from this, that he can be pre-
vailed upon to take the nomination.

Morrison viii Accept.

The Capital News says that Ex-gov-
ernor John T. Morrison was seen this
afternoon by a reporter of the News
and asked as to his chances for the
nomination of attorney general and
replied: 81 am not and have not been
a candidate and have never so an
nounced myself although various
friends have repeatedly urged me to
come out for the nomination. My
name has gained some currency bas-
ed on a statement which l made to
friend, who talked to me over the tel
ephone, to the effect that | was not a
candidat, but if the convention nomi-
mated me, | would accept. AS antici-
pated shall not be called upon to ac-
cept, yet | am not without reward.
You know Morrison is not politi-
cian,' and he needs practise even
though he contributes little to the
experts reputation"
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-08-22

endorse no one. Neither of the two
candidates from this County were en-
dorsed. Senator Hepburn is the
choice of Canyon County for re-elec-
tion.~ Hon. John T. Morrison of Boise
is our choice for attorney general.
Neither of these men were endorsed.
The delegates decided that no en-
dorsments should be made, and the
decision was carried out. AS far as
Canyon County knows, there are no
candidates for governor, other than
Mr.. Brady. The Statesman, in
desire to raise opposition to Governor
Brady, falsely reported the conven-
ton.

The sewer in district No. 1, running
through the rear of the Commercial
Bank Building, became clogged Thurs
day night, with the result that the
cellar of the Boyes-Beck Hardware
store was flooded. The superinten-
dent of water works made an exami-
nation and found that the meat mar
kets had been throwing considerable
offal into their inlets with the result
that entrails and almost anything but
porterhouse steak was found clogged
in the main sewer. In all probability
unless there is a change, something
will be heard to drop and is liable to
be expensive to someone.
The committee appointed to select
colors for the Canyon County Fair
Association have selected corn and
violet" 1t is planned to have every
body to wear the colors during the
fair.

Council Meeting.

The city council bet in regular ses-
sion on Friday night of last week.
Bids for sidewalks were opened. Dick
Beatty's bid for cement was 13 cts.
per square foot G. H. Calkins offer
ed to build cement walks for So cts.
per running foot. A. M. Cox was will
ling to lay board walks for 26h cts.
per lineal foot ]. e. Sturgeon offer
ed to build board walks and furnish |
all material for 301A cts. per running |
foot. j. w. Stories bid was rs cents. |
]. w. Murray offered to build the
same for 271a cts. per lineal foot. w.
L. Hober and A. w. Griggs agreed
to do the walk building on Washing
ton Heights and Dorman's Addition
for 25 cents with the exception of one
lot and for it they wanted 20 cts. On
motion c. l.. Calkins was awarded the
contract for the cement walks and
Hober & Griggs for the board walks.
The bond of the American State
Bank was approved temporarily, being
personal bond, until Dec. list, when
surety bond is to be filed.
A number of ordinances were pass
ed, one of which was for the purpose
of defining the lines for sprinkling
district and another was for granting
an extension for the Caldwell Inter-
urban.
A proposition was made by Henry
Cox for the irrigation of the cemetery
was read, but no action was taken.
c. S. Faurot submitted a PROPOSE
ton for furnishing board signs con-
tanning the names of all the streets
in the city, for IS cents for each cor
ner of two boards each. On motion
of Little the offer was accepted.
1t has developed that since the
council accepted the bond offered by
the American State Bank for the city
deposits, the city treasurer has asked
for an opinion from the city attorney
whether a resolution of the city coun-
Gil can repeal or change city ordi-
nance as was done in this case. The
ordinance states that surety bono
must be given for the city deposits
while the resolution permits persona
bonds to be given. The question il
merely a technical one and will doubt
, less be satisfactorily arranged.

WHO WILL WIN!

The belief seems to be growing that
the Dubois ticket will receive recog-
milton at the hands of the court. 1t
will be some time yet before it is def
nitely decided The Dubois people
claim that the delegates of the anti
Dubois ticket were in many instances
the delegates who bottled up the reg
ular democratic ticket at Twin Falls;
that they bolted at Wallace; and last
but foremost that they are not demo-
Gratis at all, since they voted the re-
publican ticket at the last election.
The Idaho primary law provides that
to be entitled to participate in the pri-
mary election of a party the elector
must have voted that ticket at the last
previous election. Senator Dubois
and his friends claim that under the
law his opponents have no right to
regard themselves as democrats. He
bolted his convention and admitting
all the contested delegations, he would
still have control of the convention.
When his party opponents found that
they could not control the convention,
they organized what he is pleased to
term rump convention. The oppo-
nents of Senator Dubois claim that he
received control of the party organi-
cation by fraud, They say he appoint
ed the members of the State Central
| Committee, the real judges of the Gre
dentials of the delegates to the con-
vention. The State Central Commit
tee, they claim, had no authority to
decide contests and temporarily seat
contrasting delegations. They claim
that their delegates were duly elected
and were the choice of the people.
1t is a nice little row and republi,
cans can we'll afford to look on witt
complaisance, if not with satisfaction
The Tribune does not pretend to judge
the case. We feel assured that the
court will rightly decide. To ou1
mind each faction of the Democrat,
party is somewhat to blame. Eacl
has thrown away it's principles in or
der to control, and secure the fedora
patronage in case of Mr.. Bryans cleo
ton.
We think neither faction has an
hopes of carrying Idaho this fall il
case of success in the court. Idah
democracy has certainly abandone
everything except desire for Office
, We should think real, genuine den
ocrat would lay aside personal an
bition and political animosity in OF
der to carry the State for the den
ocratic presidential nominee 1t seen
though that democrats are not bui
that way.
