State Press Comment.
The Tramp Question.

Some years since. California passed
what was called tramp bill, but i,
was vetoed by the governor. Its ain
was worthy one, as 1t sought tt
prevent the temporarily unemployed
from Joining the vagrant class. 1,
sought to give the unemployed mar
enough to do on public works te
anord him bodily sustenance. They
were to be given employment either
on county highways or upon the
county farms, and were TO receive
three meas day and q moderate
cash compensation, with the privilege
OF terminating the arrangement at
any time.
Ihe real vagrants, OF course, would
not care to take advantage Of such an
opportunity of self-support, but they
were to be compelled to work out the
penalties imposed for their vagrancy,
aud thus discouraged from such prac
tice. In this way industry was to be
encouraged and ldleness discouraged.
1t honored labor and did not hum,li.
ate any industrious workers, as the
latter were to be known as honorable
wOrkingmen.
This proposed plan gives a hint, at
least, OF the principles that might be
applied 10 such cases. The practice
right here in Lewiston, aud elsewhere,
of rounding up the idle ami vagrant
and sending them on to the next
town or landing them in iail is an
inhuman and economically wasteful
practice that criminalzes the men
and Is an expense to the public.
Some form Of the proposed California
plan would be worth a trial.-Lewis-
ton Teller.

May Bond County.

The county commissioners are con.
sidering the advisability Of bonding
the county, to take up the outstand-
ing Indebtedness, which amounts to
$4,000. With the county on cash
basis. the commissioners figure that
they can get contract work done at
much lower rates than they now can
AS it Is now, the contractors figure ON
having to discount all warrants from
ten to fifteen per cent, and add that
much to their figures for work to be
performed. A number of heavy tax
payers interviewed ON the bonding
proposition favor the idea, and the
commissioners may take steps to issue
bonds to the required amount. The
commissioners have been given to
understand that they can get .all the
money they need at flve per cent. and
as no election is necessary, the ex-
pense OF the bond issue will be light.
II the issuing of bonds will reduce
the burden OF taxation and be the
means Of the county getting better
and cheaper work done on its roads

WATER QUESTION Again
Village Board Restricts Sprink-
ling to One Hour.
RULES TO PREVENT WASTE
Board Acted on Complaints From
Various Citizens.

GAtIdVagant ana WaStetul use OF
water by various people through
out town, causing small mains to
be kept drained with the result
that people living on high ground
are often unable to get drop of
water for domestic purposes, was
brought to the attention of the
village board Monday night with
the effect that an order was made
restricting sprinkling and all use
of the hose to one hour each day.
On the south side of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad track sprink-
ling will be allowed only between
the hours Of 7 and 8 O'Clock in the
morning, and on the north side
between the hours of and s
O'Clock in the evening. from and
after Friday, July 28, 1917.
1t was further ordered that any
one caught violating the sprinkling
regulations will have the water
shut off and be required to pay a
penalty OF ST.. 90 to have it turned
on again. -
Several citizens were present at
the meeting Of the board, and from
their complaints it appeared that
a number OF people who use water
for sprinkling have been wasteful
and have not shown proper re-
| gard fot the rights of their neigh
bors, several instances being cited
where hydrants were turned on
and lett running, the water seeping
away for hours in the gravel or
among the weeds and doing no
good whatever. In other instances
the hose has been left lying on the
/ ground, the water running full
force all night, the quantity wasted
forming pool in the street. This
waste of water becomes serious
when practiced along small
main, people living on high ground
sometimes being compelled to go
to their neighbors and beg them
to stop sprinkling long enough to
permit them to get water enough
to drink.
A few water rates were readjust-
ed by the board and it is the in.
tention to make numerous other
changes at an adjourned meeting
to be held next Monday evening.
The board allowed the following

Mills about Atlanta, southern
Idaho, are said to be responsible for
the killing OF millions of trout in the
North fork of the Boise river, by
allowing cyanide solution to escape
into the water. One raucher said 40
less than two tons of dead fish washed
up on the reefs and bars last October
and November. and another rancher
living 20 miles below the North fork
said he saw hundreds of dead fish
hoat past his place. No arrests were
made.
State Treasurer o. V. Allen has
money to burn these days. and is in
clined to invite those entitled to 1T to
walk up and help themselves. This
refers to the appropriations made for
buildings, bridges and roads by the
last legislature, over 81 900, 900 alto
gether. This money is now available
for the purposes for which it is set
apart, and 90 doubt the beneficiaries
will not he slow in claiming it as
soon as they have complied with the
requirements. 1t is certain that the
expenditure of this large amount of
money, the proceeds of bond sales
negotiated by Treasurer Allen on his
recent eastern trip. will have stim-
ulating influence on business in the
parts of the state where it is to be
expended.

The revenue cutter service was eS-
tablished under authority of an act of
congress of Aug. 4, 1890, as an armed
force. 1t soon became evident that
the vessels Of the service should have
some distinguishing flag or mark to
indicate their employment and author
ity, and under an act Of congress of
March 81. 1900, the marker was pro-
vided for. This act set forth that ''the
cutters and boats employed in the
service of the revenue shall he distin-
guished from other vessels by an en-
sign and pendant. with such marks
thereon as shall be prescribed by the
president"
As is apparent from the act of CON
gress mentioned and various revisions
Of later date. the revenue ensign was
intended especially for the cutters and
