IDAHo's THIRD PARTY.

Very naturally the Americans" of
Utah are anxious TO have the Demo-
Gratis of Idaho follow the lead of SEN
ator Dubois in the organization of
what would be a branch of the Utah
Americans" if the movement were
successful Just as naturally The
Herald is opposed TO any movement
which has for it's purpose the democrat
iZation of the Democratic party in
national election and the precipitation
of such conditions as have split par
ties in Utah, discredited the state
sion at home and unsettled conditions
in every branch of activity. CONNER
cial. social and industrial.
If, as seems to be his plan, Senator
Dubois has in mind the organization
of an American" party branch in Ida
no, that is his business. But it ought
to be designated frankly as a third
party, and its members should as
frankly abandon any other party af-
filiation. Unless the Democracy is to

have nothing TO do with any independ-
ent movement designed primarily to
accomplish the destruction of Demo-
cratic organization and preclude the
possibility of party success in ma
tional election.
So far as public expression of opinion
has been had, the Democrats of Idaho.

posed to the intrusion of American

4 The main question this year in Idaho.
as in every other state. is the triumph
or defeat of a national Democratic

most conspicuous local question in Ida

4 where il properly belongs No ex-
/ traneous discussion is going to affect

the attitude of the parties have any
bearing on the enforcement of the
Judgment when it is rendered. 1t seems
plain enough to need no argument
that national issues this year are big
enough and pressing enough TO justify
a broad platform and broad cam
paign, undisturbed by the questions
which the Americans" for their Owl
purpose, would be glad to foist upon
the Democracy.

sidewalk improvements That much
was admitted when the First South
pavement was abandoned; it is con-
eeded by every public official who
knows the city's financial condition
and is honest about the situation.
Public improvements. except sewer and
water extensions, are impossible on a
large scale this year and for some time
to come, because the city's revenue has
been squandered, a deficit is already in
existence and the deficit cannot be
overcome by the most careful manage
ment for at least two or three years
much less by the kind of mana cement
now in vogue.
A financial crisis of this kind ought
not to be made a party question; II
affects every resident and taxpayer
and it ought to be considered solely on
its merits as a business proposition.
But the first requisite for such con-
sideration is honest, complete and i'm
partial knowledge of the city's affairs
"a thing that has been unknown under
this administration.
Let the council tell the truth. the
whole truth and nothing but the truth
about its financial affairs before it asks

First AID TO PUBLIC.

In the house of representatives
Tuesday the Democratic leader John
Sharp Williams. outlined a minority
program that should. if carried out.
have a Christening effect on the ma
jority. At the same time the public
will derive some benefits from it. Mr..
Williams called attention to the do
nothing policy that has prevailed in the
house throughout the session. Legis-
latiOn demanded by the country had
not been enacted. and the time TO ac-
complish something had arrived. Some
coercion is going to be used by the
Democrats to bring about the enact
ment of needed laws.
Until some important bills. such as
the free print paper bill, the employers
liability bill. bill for the publicity of
campaign contributions and one
against ex parte injunctlons that act
TO supeTsede laws passed by sovereign
states. are reported the Democrats will
withhold unanimous consent on all
propositions except to take a recess or
to adjourn. The Democrats have q
perfect right to use this parliamentary
club. Even Speaker Cannon cannot
deny it to them, and it should have the
effect desired.
The Republicans have been playin,
politics long enough at this session.
They have consistently adhered to a
Observation-Disclosures policy because
they have feared that if they do any
thing at all the effect on their cam
paign may be bad. There was never a
finer illustration of lack of courage and
failure to measure up to responsible
ties. No argument on the part of the
Democratic members has sufficed TO
stir the Republicans to action We
will now see whether or not the block
ing of private bills and pet measures
| will arouse them.

WHAT DOES THE CITY owE2

Before the council and the mayor
ask the taxpayers to add S5O0,OOV or
$500. 900 TO the bonded Indebtedness of
the city. il might be well for them TO
tell what they have done with the
money already spent, as well as what
the city owes. The special auditors
report. which is presented as an ex-
cuse for d new bond issue, might as
well be in Sanscrit for all the real in
formation il furnishes as to the con-
dition of the city's treasury. IL a bus
mess corporation attempted TO get an
extension of credit from its banker on
such a statement it would have its
loans called on about fifteen minutes
notice. yet the council proposes to ask
the people to vote half a million or
more on the strength of the bald an
nouncement that il needs the money!
A competent auditor should be able
40 tell on half an hours notice what
the outstanding Indebtedness of the
city is, yet the council has been pay
ing special auditors a fancy price for
over year, and has. so far. been either
unable or unwilling to set forth what
it owes and how its Indebtedness is TO
be met
A bond issue now can be used only
for water and sewer purposes; the
city's debt limit has been reached for
any other purpose. What does the
council propose 10 do with another
half million of bonds when the money
can only be spent for water and
sewers? II is supposed the sewer bond
fund is now overdrawn from $1,000 to
$50, GOO The mayor is quoted as say
ing $4,000 viii be needed for the new
water supply main and $4,000 for the
connection of the intercepting sewer
with the gravity sewer. That would
account for $4,000 besides the over
draft I'm the sewer fund, but it does
not indicate what other urgent needs
call for bond issue.
When the people voted for $1,000, OOO
Of bonds TO secure the Big Cottonwood
water and build the west side sewer
they thought they were anticipating
the demands of at least decade. I'm
der the benevolent administration OF
the Americans" the 81, 900 600 has been
dissipated and over 100000 besides
There is nothing in that record 10
commend the proposal for another malt
million OF bonds to be spent by the
same administration. particularly when
there is no guarantee that the amount
can be or viii be used for the only le-
gal purpose to. which it can be devot-
ed, namely, water mains and sewer
construction.
Whether bonds are issued or not, the
general funds of the city are in such
depleted condition that a raise in the
tax levy is inevitable. The admins
tration evidently means to conceal thai
fact as long as possible, but fan
statement of Indebtedness and revenue
for general purposes would show that
an increase in the tax rate is newt
abie-a condition which may explain
the refusal of the city officials to per-
nit a complete statement TO be issued
The talk about the necessity OF a
bond issue as one condition of con-
tinued public improvements is disin-
genuous Bonds or no bonds, the city
WIFI have no money this year with
which to pay It's share of any street OF
