cepts the theory that the school cen.
sus is 35 per cent on the average, of
the total population of county
Whitman county now has a school
census of 1O,347, which would indi-
cate, according to the above method,
that this county now has 1924 peo-
pie.
On the other hand, there are those
who are of the opinion that the fed
eral census figures should be accep-
ted as correct and the officers salar-
les reduced in proportion. The mat
ter will in all probability come be-
meeting to be held the first of next
week. There is a constitutional pro-
vision to the effect that an officers
salary connot be raised or lowered
during his term of office. The an
nouncement of the population of the
county has come in time to prevent
the recently elected officials from
drawing the increased salary if the
commissioners see fit to reduce it to
the former figure.
Many different opinions are being
expressed as to what action the COM
missioners should take, the farmers
in particular being of the opinion
that the salaries should be reduced
in proportion to the census, thereby
saving about $4,000 a year to the
taxpayers. Prosecuting Attorney
Chamberlain, whose term of office
expires in January, said;
1T may be difficult to put the
county in a lower class. | have not
looked up the law and am only
speaking in general way Suppose
a town had been advanced from tho
fourth to the third class and the
census shows it has not enough pop
ulation. Would the town be put
back into the lower class? Or sup
pose town was incorporated as a
fOurth-class town upon the showing
that it had 300 inhabitants and 60
voters, and later q portion of these
people moved away, would the town
be forced to disincorporate and be-
come a part of the county?
1T occurs to me that if the county
is to be put back into a lower class
it is up to the county commissioners
to do this. I think the proper meth
Cd would be to declare that the cen
sus returns show the population en-
titles the county to a certain class
and declare that it is in that class"
Paul Pattison, prosecuting attor-
ney-elect, who takes the Office in
January, said: 81 have merely look
ed up the constitutional provision
fixing the various classes of counties.
The legislature fixed the salaries paid
in the counties Of various classes"

COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE NERVOUS.
Federal Census Shows Not Enough
Inhabitants to Retain County
in Seventh Class.

A Christmas present OF a cut of
from $500 to $500 q year in salary
would certainly not be very ac-
ceptable one, but that is what Santa
Claus may stuff into the stockings of
Whitman countys officials Four
years ago, on the sworn affidavit of
n. d. Showalter, then county school
superintendent, that the county had
over 35, 900 inhabitants, the county
commissioners raised the county
from the ninth to the seventh class,
thereby raising the salaries of the
various county officials in sums rang
ing from $500 to $500. Showalter
based his figures upon the school
census, which at that time showed
ll,O24 children. Using the estab-
lished ratio of 3.5 to 1 Mr. Showal-
ter claimed that the county had in
the neighborhood of 1854 people,
which would entitle it to be placed
in the seventh class and would give
the officials of the county the raise
in salaries.
The federal census figures, which
were made public this week, give
Whitman county 33,2S0 people, or
nearly 1000 under the number re-
quired to retain it in the seventh
class. Now the question arises as
to whether or not the county com
missioners will put the county back in
the eighth class and thereby reduce
the salaries of the county officers to
the former scale, or will take the
school census (now O,347) as a basis
and continue the county IN it's pres
ent class.
The increase in salary was $500
each for the clerk, auditor, treasur-
er, sheriff, prosecuting attorney and
assessor. The school superinten-
dents salary was increased from
$1,000 to $4,000 per year, an increase
of $500 annually. The coroner's
remuneration was raised from fees.
probably amounting to $50 a year,
to a straight salary of $500 year
The county commissioners we're
paid $4 a day for time actually serv-
ed, and they paid their own expen-
SEES, under the old classification. I'm
der the new classification they get
$500 a year and all expenses, in
hotel bills
The commissioners held that theI
salary of one of the board could be
raised during his term of office, and

first district, who was elected for
four years, only two of which had
expired when the raise in salary was

tailed The wholesalers buy from the
various manufacturers who are scat
tered from one end of the country to
the other. The wholesalers business
having been reduced, the manufac-
turer's business is likewise cut down
and he is obliged, therefore, to LAY
Off his men.
The consuming or purchasing
power of these men is in turn reduc-
ed to nothing and they in turn affect
still other producers.
The chain is an endless one. EV-
en- the farmer is not exempt from
the influences. Unemployed labor

ducts of the farm becomes lessened
andp rices fail accordingly.
The great prosperity of the farmer
during the past few years has called
forth universal comment. What has
ben back of that prosperity? Not
only good crops resulting from ad-
yanced scientific methods of farming
Int the fact that the farmer has
awakened gradually to the realza-
tion that there is something in life
besides drudgery; that he could
avail himself of comforts and pleas

boarding what little he could scrape
together instead of keeping 1t in
circulation - keeping it working
When he began to spend his money
for some of the things that helped to
make life worth living, that cash
soon commenced coming back to
him an hundred fold, because, in its
travels it had materially enhanced
the value Of what he himself was
producing.
The farmers are the subject OF Sc

The interesting bit of gossip which
leaked out about Miss Williamson of
San Francisco and Mr.. Merle Johnson
of this city is causing quite a stir
among the friends of the young cou-
pie here.
Miss Williamson, niece of Mrs. II. H.
Williams whose house guest she was
for six weeks two months ago, in COM
pany with DR.. and Mrs. Hackett, is
winsome girl and during her recent
visit to Honolulu won a score Of
friends
She is an equestrienne of no Ordi-
nary ability and her smart habit and
mode of sitting her mount as she rode
about our local thoroughfares caused
quite a great deal of admiration.
While in Honolulu, Miss Williamson
was the motif of many pretty occasions
and even then the boy" friends of Mr..
Johnson were suspicious of develop
ments.
The young couple, however, have
been engaged for eight years; and the
climax was not altogether unexpected
by their intimate friends.
Miss Williamson and Mr.. Johnson
will be married shortly before the
sailing of the next Sierra from San
Francisco and will leave for Honolulu
their future home, on that steamer.
