MORE HOUSES

Sections OF the
Civ

For Rent" signs are beginning to
appear quite numerously in some sec
lions of the city. The East side, for
instance. has more houses than COM
mon that are to be vacated on March
%. Within two or three blocks on one
street, for example, there are about a
half dozen dwellings that bear rent
signs.
An Unfulfilled Demand.
1t is stated that there is no let-up
in the demand for moderately priced
houses. Not a few property owners
who rent structures that are classed
as of the more substantial sort, have
not secured tenants as easily as in
other renting seasons. 1t is stated that
by far the majority Of house hunters
who so far have been looking for new
locations have sought the houses of
lower rentals.

NEW CASTLE. Feb. lO.-The town Is
about to take another boom and the indi-

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak.
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and il it
does not benefit he will return

THE PRESIDENTS
PERQUISITES.

1t is a mistake TO suppose that
the presidents salary of $4,000 a
year is all he gets. Besides this
he is allowed $50, 800 for clerk hire,
$4,000 for maintenance of the
White House. and for horses, We
hicles,> etc., $25, 900 for contingent
fund, about the expenditure of
which no questions are asked, $685.
900 for travelling expenses, but of
which an account is to be kept and
only actual expenses used, $4,000
for the care of greenhouses, $4,000,
for fuel, $4,000 for care of White
House grounds, $4,000 for repair of
greenhouses, $4,000 for printing
and $50 for lighting the White
House grounds; total S229,430.
Then the president and his family
have the free use of several govern
ment yachts. In short, The presi-
dent is relieved of almost all but
his personal and family expenses,
and the cost of private entertain
ments.
While this practically clear $50,
600 is much less than that paid to
the heads Of other nations, it seems
to be sufficient, and if he chooses, a
president can save part of it, and
the country will think none the less
OF him for not making expensive
displays. Indeed he will set good
example not to do so.
AT this time in particular, when
there is a complaint about a large
deficit, in consequence of which
rivers and harbors cannot be i'm
proved, and when there is a general
cutlery against increases of official
salaries all along the line, the pro-
posed Increase in the salaries of
president and some other federal
officers ought to be opposed and re-
sisted. This being successfully
done in high places would establish
an immensely valuable precedent.

government is running into debt
every day, with no power to create
new revenues, and no apparent in
clination to reduce expenses. The
state administration found last
summer that it would have to raise
the assessment of Canyon county
and others in proportion-35 per
cent, in order that the state might
be empowered to increase the dond-
Indebtedness according to the pro-
gram outlined. Every expense,
national or state, is being increased !.
Where will we wind upat? Every
thing is now taxed to the limit, and
we are still running behind. Sena-
tor Hepburn and Borah are fight
ing the reckless extravaganza of
the government at Washington, and
the republican Legislature at Boise
is busy accusing the last state adj
ministration of gross extravagan ce,
and the present one of contemplated
graft. The Legislature will UNI
doubleday pass county local op-
ton law that will lop off a half
million dollars of revenue to the
people of the state, and as the states
expenses will undoubtedly be in
creased, this amount, and any in
crease in expenditures, will have to
be met by other forms Of taxation.
How can it be done2
When they realize fully into what
financial straits our government has
been brought by reckless exlrava-
gance and wholesale squandering
of their money, the republican
party is going to think that hades
has broken loose. And the pres
ent legislature dares not pass
direct primary law-Parma Her
aid.

The bill introduced in the Oregon
legislature making it misdemean,
or for a candidate for office to sign
any agreement to obey the wishes
of a majority Of his constituents
has been defeated. Even the boss
ridden legislature of that state could
not stand for such rotten propo-
sition. This brilliant (D measure

tive from Malheur county, w. H.

Wallace Time: Facts and fig
ures that have already been pro-
duced suffice to Indicate that
there's something in the state
capitol woodpile, and it is to be
hoped that Senator Macbeth and
his associates succeed in smoking
it out. Ii there is nothing
wrong, then no legitimate objec-
tion can be urged TO the investi-
cation that Senator Macbeth
proposes. If there is something
wrong, then the decent element
among the republicans should
unhesitatingly join the demo-
Gratis in providing for a through
inquiry. Pennsylvania has just
sent a bevy of grafters to state
prison because they plundered
the state treasury in erecting a
state house. New York's $1S,
900, 900 state house at Albany
represents but about so per cent
honest investment and the rest
was graft.
Let Idaho construct her state
house, modest though it may be
without breath of scandal. The
best conceivable way to do so is
to welcome the fullest and freest
investigation at all times. To
place stumbling blocks in the way
of such an investigation is in
shocking taste. That the repub-
licans voted as a unit in oppos-
ing such investigation is indefen-
sible. 1t is hardly conceivable
taste all Of them are in league to
prevent honest and open
methods, so it must be assumed
that some are wealkings who are
dominated by the leaders. 1t is
time that their manhood should
assert itself as superior to party
fealty. The state capitol COM
mission has further clouded the
situation by utter failure to make
even the semblance of a report
of its transactions.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1909.

The fact that the majority
party in control of our state leg
islature allow a few leaders, like
Senator Hart, to suppress legis-
lation introduced for the public
good, and to block all investiga-
tion of public affairs if it has a
tendency to expose wrongdoing
and graft on the part of officials,
especially, if said officials are
members of the same political
party as the majority in control,
should forever condemn that
party in the eyes OF all patriotic
citizens of our state. He serves
his party best, who serves his
country best" is one ofthe truest
sayings OF President Lincoln,
and it would be well for the lead
ers of the republican party to
heed the Handwriting on the
wall' if they desire to retain their
party supremacy, for the voters
of Idaho cannot beforever hood
winked by party pledges and
promises before election that are
not kept in good faith but are
only made for the purpose OF Sc
curing votes.
While the party spirit in the
Idaho legislature is to be con-
demned it is no worse than in
many of the other states, and
the same evil prevails in the Con-
gress of the United States. For
this cause, and this alone, the
nation is rapidly approaching a
crisis to which the Civil War was
simply an incident; and if the
system of legislation and man
agement OF governmental affairs
is not changed to correct the
dangers threatening our repub-
lie, we will, in the near future, be
a bankrupt nation, and in the
throes of a revolution that will
eclipse the Reign OF Terror in
France during the latter part of
the 18th century. CAN'T be that
our system of government is a
failure2 That our boosted free
dom and independenceis a farce?
That the coming ola Cromwell
would be a blessing? Murder,
rapine, arson, graft and kindred
evils are rampant throughout
our land and our police forces
seem unable to check the advance
of crime. From the most thick
ly settled and, supposedly, civil
lied parts OF our country come
reports of the ravishing and
murder of young women and
