Non for Drainage Districts

Hon. Paul Clagstone arrived in
the city Thursday to address the
people on reclamation and urged
them to form drainage districts.
The meeting was held in the |.
O. O. f. hall and about so OF our
ranchers were present. Gus PEBBLES
called the meeting to order; 0. HI.
Campbell was chosen chairman and
Tiberious Mccall, secretary. Mr..
GLADSTONE as soon as introduced
took charge of the meeting. He first
explained the object of the meeting
and told what was the proper form
or way to 60 about to organize
districts according to the Reclama-
ton law of the Ninth Legislature.
He also read a portion of that law.
A majority OF the land owners of
any given district, who sign a petit
tition and have it filed with the
county commissioners together with
a survey of the land and the prob
able cost per acre form a drainage
district. The Board of Commits
sioners of such drainage districts
are authorized to issue bonds to
pay for the total costs of the work,
and Improvements assumed or con-
tracted for, together with the cost
of organization of such districts.
These bonds will be readily taken
up by Spokane bankers at per
cent payable in 5 or 10 years.
A. J. Kent was asked to draw up
several petitions to be used at the
disposal of the different parties
wanting draining districts.
The next session OF the Nor tn
Idaho Drainage Association will
be held in Bonners Ferry some.
time in November.
Mr.. Clagstone informed the PEG.
pie that Senator Borah had prom.
ised to come to Boomers Ferry and
investigate the project of draining
the whole of the Kootenai Valley

BONDED INDEBTEDNESS

The bonded Indebtedness of
the state is, in round umbers, ST.
100000. We pay interest on
these bonds at the rate of per
cent per annum, so our interest ac-
count is $4,000 per year. The con-
stitution requires that whenever
debt is ceeated sum sufficient to
pay the interest and the principal
of tho bonds, when due, must be
raised each year so as to meet the
bonds when they become due. All
bonds, with two exceptions, are
written for twenty years, optional
at ten. In 1908 we raised suffi-
cient sum to pay bonds maturing
in 1911 to the amount of 100000.
The law says that this must be
raised one year proceeding the time
when bonds are due. There is still
another tax, for the years 1909 and
1910, which is known as the Uni
versity of Idaho Rebuilding q
Equipment fund of 1907. The
preceding Legislature of 1907, au-
thorized 100000 worth of bonds to
be issued In September 1907 and
100000 IN September 1908, total
$I2O,OOO. These bonds were not
like the ordinary bonds issued for
twenty years optional at ten but
were issued for two years optional
at six months. The first issue of
100000 was paid last year and the
other 100000 will be paid as soon
as the taxes are collected this year
so really we paid in two years by
direct taxation, that is the years OF
1908 and 1909 $4,000 in place O
bonding for twenty years as is us
ually done. In other words ter
per cent of the total tax levy b,
direct taxation went to the Uuiver
sity.

BROWN SAYS t

You ought to have seen the In.

tight and fast Gonzaga team and
left them limp with an IL and

six hits off Wright and Killilay
shows that they were doing some
thing all the time, but with the In

there was nothing hopeful on the
horizon for the students.
Ostdiek had workout behind
the bat and the result was some
thing that made everybody con-
cerned, from Bob Brown down, as
contented as a well fed kitten. He
got IA put outs and not an error.

the dollar. Is
1t is the same line that was
drawn in the house the other day
when good republicans refused to
vote for Cannon and dyed-in-the-
wool democrats came to his aid.
| am very sure that former Presi-
dent Roosevelt carried a sad heart
away from Washington. He had
suffered from the deepest wound
known to man-that inflicted by
the ingratitude of trusted friend.
Taft had been his friend, and he
had trusted him.
But the former president was
game. He kept up a cheerful front
even to the last. He did not allow
the matter to become personal. All
appearances of friendliness were
continued to the last.
The friends of Taft will seek in
vain, however, for any spoken or
written word which puts the in
dorsement of Roosevelt on the &C
lions of the present occupant of the
White House between November 8,
1908, and April 5, 1909.
In a paragraph, this is the charge
against the Taft administration:
Since election day in every way
Except words), by every essential
act, Taft seems to have made a
studied effort to repudiate the
things for which his predecessor
| stood.
Nothing for Roosevelt
Owing all to Roosevelt, Taft,
safely elected to the presidency,
offered nothing of recognition.
Pledged to Roosevelt's policies, he
neither asked nor took Roosevelt's
advice. In filling places and lay
ing the foundations for his admin
istration, he counseled with the
people who have been Roosevelt's
bitterest enemies. He withdrew
himself, even geographically. from
the man to whom he owed his
Office, and the White House knew
no more of the Taft councils at
Hot Springs and Atlanta, Ga, than
it would have known if Bryan had
been the successful candidate.
A chasm which is wide and deep
has been opened between Taft and
former President Roosevelt. And
every day will make the truth of
this statement more plain. Presi-
dent Taft and former President
Roosevelt have said their political
farewells. Taft has chosen the ere
dictionary" road: Roosevelt will al
ways be progressive"
