The church is a great political, bust
ness and religious organization. The
president OF the church is the biggest
captain of industry in the west. He
is also the strongest political boss. We
would remind Mr.. Evans and other
Mormons of the fate that overlook
Moses Thatcher when he undertook to
exercise the rights and privileges of
American citizenship without the con-
sent of the authorities. We would re-
mind him also of Reed Shoots testi-
mony before the congressional inves-
tlgatIng committee when he admitted
that he had to first secure the consent
OF his church before he could become
candidate for the United States SEN
ate. That is priesthood rule. Mr..
Evans will claim that Apostle Smoot
had to do this that his duties in the
church might not be interfered with.
SO be it. Then the apostle is different
from the lay member, which is the ex-
act point the Tribune has always main
tanned. We patiently await an explain
alton.
The recent history of Oneida county
is not known to the editor of this pa
per. Mr.. Evans has given us some
facts, which seem to prove his conten-
ton. One would have to be familiar
with local conditions there in order to
know whether or not the conclusions
arrived at are the right conclusions
Two cases are cited. These are prob
ably all in twenty years. Even Nor
mons are likely to give a Gentle a
chance every twenty or thirty years
A republican is elected to Office in a
southern state about that often.
The Tribune takes the position that
the first allegiance of Mormon is to
his church in religion, business and
politics. Such being the case, the
Mormon is not good American citi-
zen. Not being a good citizen, ne
should not be elected to certain posi-
tons. All that We ask the Mormon
church to do is to cut out politics. Let
there be complete separation of
church and state. Let the Mormons
go to the polls and vote as citizens.
not as Mormons. This is not a big
request to make in view of the fact
that all other people do this very
thing.

All She Asked.

"The late Justice Harlan" said
Washington lawyer, was an advocate
of temperance in eating, in drinking,
in the use of tobacco, in all things.
Justice Harlan praised temperance
at lawyers banquet, and told story
about a young wife who said to her
husband:
Jack, dear, 1 wish you'd stop
drinkingl Every time you go to one
of those banquets of yours you get up
the next morning pale and tired, you
won't eat anything, you just gulp
down ten or twelve glasses of water.
Do stop drinking, won't you, dear7 I
know it's bad for you"
"But all great men have been drink
ing men," Jack grumbled. Look at
Webster, look at Poe, look at Charles
Lamb, look at Grant, look
"'Well,' interrupted the wife, you
just promise, dear, that you'll stop
drinking till you're great and I'll be
satisfied Huntington Star.

Would Divide Tax PAYMENTS.

While the discussion of taxes and
tax sharks is going on it might be
we'll to suggest if the law was chang
ed so as to make half of the taxes
payable in December. and the other
half in June, it would be much easier
for the average person to pay their
taxes, and the sharks would not have
as easy picking as they do now. 1t
looks absurd to take the tax money
from the people all in one fell swoop
and then let it lay in the banks for
the better part of year. If the pay
ments were divided the people could
have the use of half their money for
six months longer and it would still
be in the public treasures as soon as
needed. Business is almost paralyzed
every year at tax-paying time because
the surplus all goes into the public
Golfers. Taxpaying should be made
easy and not a burden.-Weiser Sig

WHY is AN ABSTRACTOR
AGAIN.

Last week in conversation with Mr..
X. ). Madden, for many years an alb
stractor in this and city, for whose
opinion we have great respect, he
stated that the real reason for the alb
stract Office was that the county re-
corder did not care to take the re-
sponsibility for errors that might have
been made in the past unless clear
title had been decreed by the courts,
which would make the expense great
er than the cost of an abstract. He
was of the opinion that the cost to
property owners would be too great
to quiet title before selling. This is
probably true under the present sys-
tenn and under present conditions.
However, it seems to the Tribune that
it would be possible for the county to
buy the books, records and business of
an up to date abstract Office and make
the abstractor county officer.
The county recorders Office should
be separated from the Office of the
clerk of the district court. This would
create new Office, that of county re-
corder and abstractor. He would have
a modern system of record that could
be used also for abstract purposes. In
Caldwell today there are, or should
be, three complete records-one in
each of the abstract Offices and one in
the office of the county recorder. This
duplication is a needless waste and
expense. The simplifcation of the alb
stract would also reduce the cost to
the purchaser, making it possible to
furnish certificate of title for a nom
inal fee. The certificate that there are
no clouds upon the title of a certain
piece of real estate, or if there be a
cloud, what that cloud is, is all that
the purchaser of the property needs tc
know.

THE MORMON VOTE IN IDAHO.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Trib-
une will be found another communi-
cation fro Hon. l. B. Evans, in which
he takesgthe position that man does
not lose his rights and privileges as a
citizen when he becomes a high Of
fetal in the church. Theoretically Mr..
Evans is correct. The laws of the
state and nation do not deprive the
minister, priest or bishop of any of
his rights or privileges. There is no
statute which would make Cardinal
Gibbons Ineligible to the presidency
of the United States. We imagine
that Mr.. Evans would not care to see
Cardinal Gibbons occupying the po-
sition of President of the United
States.
The Tribune has no fight to make on
the Mormon people. Where Meth
odists or Baptists have tried to do the
very thing the Mormons trying to
do we have opposed them. We hold
it inimical to the welfare of American
institutions that high church officials
be active in political affairs. Notwith-
standing the statement to the contrary
made by Mr.. Evans we believe that the
great majority of Mormons remember
that it is the bishop, president of the
stake or apostle who is addressing
them when such officials take an active
part in politics. When John Henry
Smith told the people of Mink creek
that he was divinely inspired to vote
the Republican ticket those people
knew that it was an apostle of the
church who was talking to them. In
fact, strip the apostle of his priestly
and ecclesiastical robes and usually he
might as we'll have stayed at home. So
long as the Mormon authorities insist
upon controlling the vote of the Nor
mon people, and so long as the people
submit to such control we shall OPP
pose the election of Mormons to the
positions on the supreme bench of the
state, There are positions where less
harm might be done and for that reas-
on have no particular objection to
Mormons occupying them, although II
would be better that they did not.
The OSpGrAtiOn OF the church and
stats mOanS more than that there shall
be no church established. The found
ere OF this government wanted nc
priesthood rule in this country They
prohibited the establishment of state
church. They also intended that the
statistical authority should exer'
else no authority except in his minis
try. The Mormons insist that their
church authorities shall not only point
the way to heaven but shall also guide
the foot on earth. They insist upor
controlling the religion, business anC
politieal life Of the country. They dc

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT FRAN
CHISE.

The Tribune would like to know
what the people of Caldwell really
want in the way of electric light and
power rates. Such information would
be as welcome to US as would be a
wind astarn to ship becalmed." Do
the people of Caldwell want municipal
ownership? or would they be salts
fed with power at reasonable rate?
We understood that the meeting Mon
day night was to be held for the pur-
pose of devising some method of as
certaining the sentiment of the peo-
pie. 1t really degenerated into a wild
and proftless discussion of everything
under the sun except the question at
issue. The meeting Monday night
started at the beginning and ended at
the same point. The only thing that
really happened was an insult to the
gentlemen who were asking for a
franchise.
The Tribune is convinced that there
is no well defined sentiment in this
city in favor of municipal ownership
Of an electric power plant. Munuici-
pal ownership was hit upon after ev-
erything else had failed. Readers of
this paper will remember that several
months ago the city council of Cald-
well was ransacking the country in
quest of a competitive power COM
pany. In desperation the people
were willing to grant any kind of a
franchise which offered a measure of
relief. At that time they could find
no company willing to enter this field.
AS last resort they undertook to
take advantage of the five-year clause
in the Sebree franchise. Since then
conditions have changed and there is
strong, reliable, responsible COM
pany asking admission. The question
now is: shall we take advantage of
the situation or shall we lumber along
bedeviled and bedamned by the pres
ent rates? The city of Caldwell is
not going to install an electric power
plant in this generation. Shall we
continue paying tribute to the present
company That is the question be-
fore the inhabitants of this city.
The franchise offered by the Idaho
Oregon Light & Power c. to our mind
is very reasonable one. However,
as stated by Mr.. Marcus, further con-
cession may be obtained 1t is not up
to the people to accept the first thing
that is offered them. Let the city
council order a franchise drawn that
will amply safeguard the people for
the present and for all future time.
Let this council offer this franchise to
this or any other power company. We
may not get everything we desire but
we can get safe, conservative con-
tract.
The franchise offered the people Of
Caldwell is so far ahead of the pres
cnt franchise that there is no compari-
son. The company asking the fran
chse is SO far ahead of the present
company in every respect that there
is no comparison. Under the propos-
ed franchise electric lighting will cost
II instead of IS cents; reduction
starts after the consumer has used
power to the amount of $40 instead
Of $500 as at present; arc lights will
cost $500 per year instead of $4,000,
The pumping for the city will not cost
