THINK OF THIS.

The republicans are gong before the
people and begging for votes on the
ground that the republican gang are re-
ducing taxes. The Idaho County Free
Press, published in Grangevlle, has
taken the trouble to go through the rec
ords of the Idaho county assessor and
made comparison Of taxes for 1907 and
1908. What is true in tax matters in
Idaho county will be true in Latah, be-
cause the valuation has been raised a
great deal and the levy reduced from
S2.l5 TO $780, The republicans do not
deny that taxes will be higher here in
Latah county. Higher in spite of the
fact that there has been an increase OF
hundreds OF thousands of dollars in tax
able property. During the last few
years the Potlatch Lumber Company
has built forty miles OF railroad in
Latah county. The same company has
built the largest mill in the world in
Latah county. The same company has
commenced to pay taxes on millions Of
dollars worth of timber in Latah county,
timber that until recently belonged to
the state aud which was not taxed during
any democratic administration. The
county has not erected new building,
nor done any public improvement Of
importance Yet taxes have gone up.
Let Mr.. Ramstedt or any other gentle
man explain why taxes are not being
reduced. Instead of being thing over
which to brag the republican gang ought
to hide out. With all their increased
revenue they ought to be able to make
better showing. Latah county ought to
be out OF debt. Warrants ought to be at
par. We ought to be able 10 run our
Schools full time, and there ought to be
plenty OF money to build bridges and
Improve our public roads. Yet taxes
are higher under republican rule today
than they were last year They are
higher in other counties. Here is list
pf l24 farmers of Idaho county Their
taxes have been increased 20 per cent
over last year, which is about the
increase in Latah county. These far
.mers will pay 81 ,699.7l more taxes in
190S than they paid on the same property
in 1907. Think what it will be when
the increase is figured on every farmer
in Idaho county, Here is the list:

is THIS A LIE?

Ole Olson, life long republican, a
farmer, and a gentleman, and a man
whose word i, good as gold bond, went to
Moscow this week and tried to pay his
taxes. Mr.. Olson lives on the south
end of Little Bear, where he owns some
fine land, a few miles north OF Kendrick.
But he could not pay his taxes. He was
told that the rolls would not be ready
until just a few days alter election. Yet
the law says the auditor must certify to
the rolls and turn them over to the tax
collector not later than the second Mon
day in September. The republicans dare
not tell the truth. There will be an in
crease this year OF about twenty per cent
in the taxes OF every farmer in every
county. When the real condition of re-
publican management OF public finances
is made public the republican ring will
know what happened. Ole Olson is not a
sore head. He is an honest republican
farmer. yet he is not satisfied over the
fact that he was refused the opportunity
to pay his taxes, when the law says the
rolls must be opened. 1t is reported that
two deputies from the auditors office
are out campaigning. Yet the auditor
is unable to get the tax list out within
two months of the time specified by law
Charts Peterson, republican candidate
for probate judge, accused by the Troy
News of wiping his nose on his hand,
say she has been missrepresented by the
News. He says that while it is true
that be wiped his nose on his finger or
hand for many years even while
he was attending the University of Idaho,
and even later, he will give up the Gus
tom if elected probate judge. Mr.. Peter
son realizes that wiping ones nose on the
knuckle joint of the first finger of the
left hand is not dignifed, and he wont
do it. At least not during court hours
If Charley will agree to do this the News
sees only one more reason why he should
not be elected, namely, lack of ability to
fill the position even half way creditably
to the people who must pay his salary

TO THE PUBLIC:

For reasons by this time probably
known to the entire community, The
Herald will have to refrain from dis
cussing certain personal features of
the county campaign. Under ordinary
circumstances such a discussion would
be proper, but there have developed
unfortunate conditions which would
make a discussion along certain lines
very improper. 1t is only question
of time when these conditions-which
do not concern candidates at all-will
be generally known, and we believe
our course will be endorsed by every
citizen OF this county.

JACOBSON WAS HERE
Addresses a Meeting of
About 200 People Thus
day Afternoon

JACOB +. JACOBSON, the republican
candidate for governor, was in our
city Thursday, having arrived on the
afternoon train at 2 As. He was i'm
mediately taken to the saw mills
where he made short talk, after
which he delivered an address of
about an hours length to about 200
people, who assembled at the repub-
lican headquarters.
NJ. NJ. Williams introduced the
speaker In few words.
Mr.. jacobson said nothing whatever
on national issues, but said that he
would take up state issues. Support
of the voters was asked on the basis of
his record while member of the
house of representatives. He claimed
that he stood for the same things TO-
day as he had stood In the past, that
he was the means of pushing to a
successful issue the gross earnings tax
bill, the Freedom of Market bill,
which provides for the establishment
of public warehouses on or near the
right of railways and for condemna-
tion proceedings in connection there
with.
He said that he was one of the COM
mittee on pine land investigation,
which was responsible. for the recovery
of large sums of money from those
who have trespassed on the state
lands, and that although people in this
part of the country simply called the
! guilty party trespassers, and that they
were somewhat respected, they, in
! his part of the state, called them
thieves. The drainage proposition he
simply mentioned.
| . He was in favor of extending the
work Of the immigration department.
That Minnesota was losing some o1
its best farmers, and that it was
necessary to make our own people &C
quainted with the goodness of Mime
sofa soil.
Mr.. jacobson said that if he became
governor he would put a stop to tn
official lobby as people generally die
not understand how these lobbyist
worked and secured desired legisla
ton, and on this point SAID that i
anyone thought that the Legislature
was a place to send a man, who wa
not right. to reform him, tnat the.
were badly mistaken.
The candidate said that he liked
good democrat because, that although
they met many defeats, they hat
always come up smiling. In this con
nection he rather inferred that as h
was the candidate of the republican
party he was entitled to all repub
llcans' vote, which was along the lin
Of argument which he produced in
speech recently to the effect tha
although people were of his party
they prided themelves on their inde
pendence, and voted otherwise. II
this instance, he claimed that tn
whole republican party knew bette
how man should vote that he him
self did.
He promised, if elected, that b.
would be for the best interest of tn
state.
The audience gave the speaker
respectful attention, and some applause
which was not general. That an.
change of votes was made, we yer.
much doubt.
