Party Pledges.

Governor Brady's message re-
lating to party pledges to the
Idaho Legislature. is right to the
point, and an able document. He
says
There is one thing that every
rugged mountaineer and honest
plainsman of the West stands
for, and that is personal honor
and integrity in every man. The
same rule should obtain as to
party pledges. A political par
ty has no more right to break
faith with the people than gen
tleman to betray a friend. Pol
itical honor and party honor are
just as sacred as personal honor,
and if you turn the leaves of his
tory and read its pages careful
ly you will know no man ia pol
itical life who has pursued any
other course has ever left his
favorable imprint upon any peo-
pie, and it behooves the party in
power in this State to see to ii
that every pledge made to the
DeODle is enacted into law. BY
so doing we will plant a mile
stone in the pathway of our liv-
es that our children and future
generations may look back upOr
with pride. | hope and believe
that the Republican majority il
both houses of this Legislature
will fully meet the expectations
of the people by redeeming every
party pledge.
The State has Republican
Governor that wants every party
pledge fulfilled, and will worl
with you to that end. The peo
pie, by the use of their franchise
on November 3rd, gave a vot'
of confidence to the Republican
party by electing a good work
ing majority of that party t.
both branches of the Legislature
and there is absolutely no eX
cuse for not passing every laN
that we promised the peopl
that we would pass. Knowing
f the bright and intelligent elias
of men that the people have hon
, ored by electing to the ditferen
branches of the legislature,
feel every confidence that 70
will pass just and equitable law
fulfilling every plank in th
Republican platform"

The County Bo ard.

The Democratic Board OF 20.
Commissioners of Custer county,
viz: Robt. Campbell, Geo. Ellis
and r. H. Ewing, met in Chal-
lis on Monday, Jan. 18th, and
adjourned Wednesday night. the
18th. The Board was organized
by electing Campbell, chairman.
We give in brief an outline OF
the most important business
transacted by this economical
Board-economial toward some
and toward others not. There
is such a thing as being penny
wise and pound foolish" 1t is
evident by their actions they
want low prices to prevail, yet in
this they must expect for cheap
labor cheap service in return.
Yet cheap things sometimes are
the dearest in the end. To il
lustrate this The Board made
an order that a new floor be put
in the county jail. This old iail
by standing for thirty years in {
mud hole has rotted down, anc
is not a fit place to keep hogs
say nothing of human beings. Il
is damp and musty and unheal
thy and not safe, for the las
prisoner in there pulled off ;
board and walked down town
We claim that any money expen
ded on this jail for repairs is no
economy, but waste of tn
peoples money. The time ha
come in this county when th
people demand decent cour
house and Jail. The taxpayer
certainly have a right to vote o.
the proposition, and it is up t
the Commissioners to submit tn
\ question to vote. The count
: is financially in good circuu
stances.
Another cheap instance TIL
:, Board allowed $500 for deput
: sheriff for one year. This is s.
: a month for a man to give h
: time and labor to the county.
y man cannot live for that, les
5 than a dollar a day. In Leml
J. county the deputy sheriff r
n ceives S100 PER month. Sheri
IL Roberts appointed Henry Ho
e ton, our city marshal, as deput.
y and as long as he remains ma
J. shall and receives $50 a mont
! he can serve the county as de-
uty sheriff for S25 a month.
DR.. |. W. Lynn was the on
u bidder for the hospital, and tt
e contract was awarded to him *
n one year at 81 $50 per year.
. The printing contract was
. to the Mackay paper one We
. for S75. Our bid was S1OO Th
y is as low as the work can
done, and it is worth 5000.
