VOTE FOR COUNTY BONDS
Is Purely Business Proposition
and Should Garry
Tuesday, Sept. 9th, is the Date

One of the most important elections
to be held in Stevens county for years
will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 7, when
the matter OF issuing bonds to cover the
indebtedness of the county will be de-
clded by the voters.
This proposition was before the voters
at the last general election, and was
carried, but for technical reasons bond
purchasers refused to take the
bonds, holding that there were defects
in the procedure of holding the election.
The county commissioners deem the
matter of bonding so vital to the tax
payers of the county that they have
called a special election so that the
bonding can be considered by the voters
without any other issue diverting their
attention. At the present rate of inter-
est the county is paving $l4, $40 per year
interest, or 1920 month. The bonds
can be sold at an interest rate OF At per
cent per annum, which would make the
annual interest only $8230 and cave the
county nearly 1884 month.
1t is a pure business proposition,
against which no good argument can be
advanced. The commissioners are TAX
ing just such action as every rancher
and business man would take in ex-
changing an Indebtedness at high rate
of interest for the same amount of in
debteolness at a much lower rate.
1t should be remembered that the
money secured from the sale of these
honda can be used by the commissioners
for no other purpose than the taking up
of the old warrant Indebtedness. In
voting for the bonds you are not author
izing any lavish expenditure of funds,
but assisting in clear business trans
action, one that will put the affairs of
the county on business basis and re-
suit in saving of $4,000 per year.
At the time of voting Tor the bonds it
is also necessary that the question of
validating the old indebtedness be ap-
proved by the votes of the people, other
wise the bonds caunot be sold. There
fore vote "Yes'' on both propositions, as
the carrying of either is no good with
out the carrying of both.

The Effect Of the Coming Election on
Local Affairs

The following contribution on the local
issue of the day is from a
gentleman who is not interested in the
outcome. except as are all citizens and
property owners of the town:
1t might be we'll to call the attention
of the people of Newport to the immedi-
ate economic effect of the coming cleo
ton on local financial affairs.
No doubt every one is familiar with
the fact that the town has undertaken
improvements to the amount of $4,000
to $4,000 in the way of street grading,
sidewalks and crosswalks. This will
place large burden upon many of the
taxpayers. Consequently the town is
under the obligation of using every hon
orable and legitimate means at this time
for tightening the burden upon the peo-
pie.
The revenue, as estimated bv the town
officials for the ensuing year. including
saloon licenses as under present condi-
tons, and as published in The MINER
the past two weeks. is 1910, and the
estimated expenditures are $1,000. This
leaves balance of $3.50 to be raised by
direct taxation, making levy of mills
necessary to raise this amount. Add to
this the $4,000 necessary to pay for the
street grading above mentioned, and
many of our property owners will be
paying tax of no less that 124 per cent
(not mills) on their taxable property.
According to the local option law the
city will be compelled to refund 80 per
cent OF the unused portion of all LIQUOR
licenses now paid in. if the people should
declare for local option. Thus the town
OF Newport would be obliged to refund
about $3.50. This amount. together with
decrease of $3140, the amount now re-
celved for liquor licenses, makes total
OF $3.50 more, necessary to be raised by
direct taxation, which would bring the
total town tax levy up to about ia
mills for municipal purposes. Add to
this the total county, state and school
tax, amounting in 1908 to % mills. our
people would be obliged to pay total
tax levy of 454 mills in addition to spe-
cal assessments for street improvement.
No one can doubt or deny the impor-
lance OF temperate living, 1t is a car
dlnal principle recognized by all classes
OF people, vet when viewed in the light
OF the experience of other communities
1t must still remain an open question
whether there is any moral advantage
IN the conditions that usually prevail in
the dry town" oyer those in towns
with we'll regulated, licensed saloons az
we now have in Newport.
The foregoing facts are certainly food
Tor serious thought for conscientious
ana we'll meaning people, and eyerv
citizen Of our town should carefully CON-
sioer them before going to the polls on
Sept. Z.
ASK yourself whether or not the time
Is opportune, in view of the improve.
ments now being made, to place New.
port under local option and thereby cast
additional burdens upon our already
heavily taxed people.
We must also take into cone;dorot;
the effect that any radical change will
work upon any people during the period
Of readjustment.

SOUL OF A LITTLE CHILD.

Nearly all women are fond Of Jew
els, and one OF the most acceptable
gifts they can receive 10 . valuable
piece Of jewelry. They take great
pleasure in wearing 1t. or looking at 1t
and showing 1t to others. and they are
very careful not to injure 1t or To lose
It: but far more precious than rubies
or the most costly jewels Of earth are
the souls of the little children commit.
ted to their charge-and often 10 light.
ly valued by them. says the Charles
ton News and Courier. Few mothers.
no matter how bad they may be In
other respects. are Indifferent to the
health and comfort Of their children;
and there are few mothers who will
not sacrifice a great deal In order to
secure these things for their little
ones. In the care Of this precious
trust even conscientious mother
often errs. because she does not rea.
lie clearly enough how sensitive .
ehild's mind Is. and how quick to note
every word and action Of those around
him. It is not enough for parents to
fullll the promises given at the bap-
tism Of their child, that they will sec
that he 10 taught those things neces-
sary for his souls health" In the
form of prayers and his religious du-
ties; for unless the lives they lead In
the home agree in every particular
with what they teach him. their labor
