should be well looked into. AS mat
ter Of fact it would appear to be un-
necessary to import talent for the
purpose of determining how this
purely local matter should be handl-
ed. There are engineers at home and
close to home, whose advice should
be just as valuable, and there is no
reason why a fee should be paid to
a nonresident whose chief interest,
it might be assumed, would be center
ed in the amount of his compensation
rather than in economy of construc-
ton
Several propositions have been
made in the last year or two to the
end of furnishing a water supply for
Mountain Home, but the present one
seems to have progressed farther
than any of the others. and for no
apparent reason so far as intelligent
investigation by the people is con-
cerned. While it is true that a plant
under municipal ownership would
perhaps be more satisfactory the
laws of the state of Idaho in relation
to franchises covering public utilities
would provide ample protection for
the people. A plan whereby such a
system could be installed by private
capital with an option permitting
its purchase by the town at a later
date, would seem to be the best sol
ution of the problem and in the mean
while the plant would undoubtedly
pay handsome revenue to those furn-
ishing the capital. If, however, a
municipal plant is decreed to be the
thing. every prechution should be
taken to prevent action which Will
saddle an unduly expensive plant on
to the people. The plant mush furn-
ish revenue to pay the cost of its
operation and maintenance, as well
as to provide a sinking fund for in
terest on. the bonds and their final
redemption. and if the cost of the
plant is not kept within reasonable
bounds. the water rentals Will have to
be made so high as to be an addition
al burden on the tax payers.
We do not think the town is ready
TO bond itself for $4S,000. at least
until it has been determined that in
no other manner can water system
be secured.

CAUTION REQUIRED

The citizens OF Mountain Home will
within the next few days. be called
upon to decide at the polls the ques-
ton of bonding the town for the sum
OF $4,000 for the installation of a
municipal water plant. Mr.. Bullock,
who is undertaking to promote the
enterprise, explained what he pro-
poses to do at a mass meeting held
on Monday night last. Briefly stat
ed the town is to provide the funds
for putting in the system, which T.
is estimated will cost, including en-
gineering contingencies. $4,000, or
less. the work to be under the sup
ervision Of Mr. Bullock, who is to re-
ceive a compensation fee represent
ing 5 per cent of the total cost.
There is no question but that a
water works system for Mountain
Home is a utility much to be desir
ed; in fact. the establishment Of al
adequate supply Of pure water foi
domestic purposes is perhaps ou
greatest need at this time, both as
contributor TO the general good healtl
and a protection against fire.
There is. however a grave douo
as to the advisability OF accepting
MIR. Bullock's proposal. 1t is no small
matter to bond the town for $4,000

Mr.. O'Neil. Mr. Hawley and 9TH
er prominent candidates of both par
ties have expressed the opinion that
the present law should be permitted
TO grow cold-that it should be Civ
en- a fair test-and this opinion is
shared by the conservative men
throughout the state We must. of
course, expect continued agitation
against the whole traffic by the ultre-
prohibitionists. Complete suppression
is the only thing that will satisfy
them. They can see no happy me-
dunn, and the almost fanatical zeal
with which they are carrying on their
fight is bound to make an impress
sion. II is undeniable that the liz
uor traffic exists through the suf-
ferance of the people and those en-
gagged it ought to be passive even in
the face of attacks engineered by the
prohibitionists. Only in this manner
can they hope to have the question
settle itself and die out as a political
issue, and any attempt on their part
open or otherwise, to reopen the con-
troversy by attempting to have pre-
cinct option. or anything other than
the present law enacted, win result
disastrously to them.

FACTS OR FANcY-wH1CHg

Mr.. O'Nei, when in Mountain
Home last week, in the interest of
his candidacy, stated that he would
make strong fight on the State Land
Board, if elected, and that he would
assure the people of thorough house
cleaning. This is a fatuous state
ment. 1t is a well known fact that
the members Of the State Land
Board are elected by the people, that
is. the Offices to which they are
elected by the people carry with them
ex-officio membership on that board.
The Governor, under the constitu-
ton of this state, is not authorized to
investigate the acts of an elective Of
fetal. That is a function of the leg
islature, and even the legislature can
hardly take cognizance Of innuent
statements '. ithout the filing OF form
al charges.
Governor Brady has been unqual-
ihedly fair in all his acts as a mem
Der of the Land Board Criticism has
been rampant, especially in the last
year, but we fail to see that any
charges have been formulated which
even called for the dignity of a de-
NAL. The unfortunate episode in
connection with Mr. NJ. T. Church is
of course, fresh in mind; but the
prompt and courageous action of the
governor in that matter indicated his
determination to correct, so far as
was in his power, any evils which
might exist He took the people into
his confidence, and the public official
who does that has nothing to fear and
nothing to conceal.
The administration of the State
land matters is function that calls
for the highest business ability and
the greatest integrity both on ac-
count Of the resources involved and
the Importance to this and future
generations of properly handling
these resources. AS a matter Of fact
the entire proposition is purely bus
mess one and should be removed from
the domain of paiiisanship, or at
least its Importance is such as to JUS
tify the appointment or election of
a board having no other business but
the handling of state lands and the
activities incidental thereto. Govern
or Brady, in suggesting the creation
of a Carey Act commission, has UNI
aoubtedly offered solution that is
worthy Of the most careful considera-
ton. and his idea should be elaborat-
ed upon to the extent of assigning to
such commission all of the work
now being done by the State Land
Board.
The insinuation implied by Mr..
O'Neil's statement is patent; but a
man seeking the highest Office in the
state should not stoop to innuendo.
If Mr.. O'Neil knows of anything dis
creditable in connection with the
state Land Board, or any Of its mem
bers. he should come out openly with
his charges and take the people into
his confidence the same as Governor
Brady has done Any other course
will leave him open to the charge OF
attempting to profit politically bS
working upon the prejudice which
unfortunately. il is always easy tC
create against men holding public
office.
