MONEY NEEDED In WEST.

Today Idaho needs money more
than any other one thing. She needs
people too, but money is what is
actually needed that the develop
ment of the state may not be i'm
peded. This fact is easily apparent
to all observers and yet we know Of
nothing being done to secure the
money. OF course individuals are
doing their utmost, but there is no
concerted, systematic effor5 being
made to secure money for the de-
velopment of the state.
1t is well known that the eastern
cities have too much money in their
banks. There is so much on hand
that it cannot be proftably employ
ed. The rate of interest in New
York and other eastern cities has
dropped to the minimum and ever
then the banks are not seeking de
posits. Money will not be invested
in manufacturing enterprises unit
the tariff question is definitely set
tied. The recent court decisions
will have a tendency to brighten
capital away from the industrial
enterprises. In fact there is nothing
in the east at present to attract
capital Now should be the time
for the west to employ that capital.
The west can use it and at a COM
paratively high rate of interest.
Today the west does not enjoy
the confidence of the east to the
extent it should. Eastern people
really know little more about the
west than they did 20 years ago.
While we have done a great deal of
advertising, that advertising has not
been addressed to the people with
money. Our efforts have been de-
voted to the matter of inducing an
immigration of people. We should
now seek to induce an immigration
of money. The security is here.
The enterprises are here. In fact
there is no reason under the sun
why the west should not secure all
the money 1t can use. The demand
Is here and the supply is in the
eastern states. Some steps should
be taken to attract capital to Idaho

The whole thing amounts to this
half dozen or more disgruntled
taxpayers and citizens of the town
are in hopes that graft will tran
spire. They have not the courage
Of their convictions and want to
shift the responsibility to the
shoulders of the administration. In
hopes of doing this they petition
the mayor and city council to make
an investigation. II the investiga-
ton proves nothing they will be
the first to denounce the useless
expenditure of money. If they
should prove graft they will glee-
fully assume the glory.
The Tribune would advise the
petitioners to conduct their own in
vestigations. If they know of cor
ruption let them expose it. The
present city administration has other
matters to attend to.

Fischer School of Music Recital.

Decorated with a profusion of
wild flowers, Eilers Music House
was filled with a large audience
which greeted Miss Cooper Tuesday
evening, and both in applause and
congratulatory remarks at the end
of the program the audience showed
it's keen appreciation of the work
done by the young lady, who is a
pupil of Mrs. Edgar Fischer. Since
her graduation from Whitman IN
1908, Miss Cooper has devoted her
time exclusively. to teaching and
studying and having worked quietly
but most assiduously at her chosen
art, she surprised even her intimate
friends with the bigness and matur-
ity Of her playing.
The first number, a group from
the Fifth French suite by Bach, was
noteworthy for her clever EXPOSE
ton of the contrapuntal style in
which it was written. Following it
she played a group from the ever
popular Chopin, the last number of
which was that war-horse of tech
nic-the Black Key Etude. The
Chopin group was followed by a
miscellaneous group which demand
ed a many-sided musical develop
ment to give it adequate interpreta-
tion. Except for the concerto, which
ended the program, one might say
Miss Cooper was at her best in the
above mentioned group Charming
in grace and delicacy was the Mac
Dowell Shadow Dance. TIL Brahms
number was built on broad lines and
was played as though it was thor
oughly understood. The last selec-
ton in the group was perhaps the
most interesting from the point of
novelty, being Alberto Jonas Toe
cata, as attractive a bit of music as
one could find to add spice to such
a group.
The Scharwenka Concerto is a
number demanding brilliant technic
and in it Miss Cooper was heard at
her best.
1t is to be hoped so talented a
pupil will continue her studies, for
it would seem a pity to allow SO
much ability to tagnate.-Walla
Walla Statesman.
Miss Cooper is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. c. w. Cooper of Caldwell
and is very well known to the peo-
pie of Caldwell.

BARNEY o'NErL's MISFORTUNE.

Throughout the width and breadth
of Idaho few men have more friends
than Barney O'Neil. He is a man,
who unaided, arose from the ranks
of the people. AS a child he sold
newspapers on the streets of New
York. Coming to the west in early
manhood he carved out his own des-
tiny. BY his own ability, by hon,
esty, courage and determination he
won a place for himself in the
minds and hearts of the people Of
Idaho. Barney O'Neil is a great
man, whatever has befallen him.
A few days ago the people of
Idaho learned that the bank with
which Mr.. O'Neil was connected had
temporarily suspended business. The
. bank was embarrassed by reason of
the fact that other business ven
lures had gone to the wall. 1t is
not within our power to place the
blame, ii there be blame at all. 1t
will probably develop that the
embarrassment of the Wallace bank,
like the embarrassment of hundreds
of other business ventures, cannot
be traced directly to any one thing.
At times fate is relentless. Com
binations of circumstances some
times tear down the strongest struc-
lures. Circumstances like men need
opportunity to achieve their full
destiny. 1t has probably happened
with Barney O'Neil that he could
not weather the storm at the par
ticular moment. A year ago or a
year hence 1t would probably have
made little difference to him what
circumstances conspired against
him.
But while embarrassed Barney
O'Neil is still the same genial, gen.
erous, true-hearted man. His char.
acter has not changed ono iota. His
reputation will not suffer. The
people know him as he is and as he
has been for twenty years or more
They sympathize with him and wish
a speedy and full recovery.

accomplish.
We might say to our readers that
on this occasion Mr.. Hawley did moi
remove any county assessors. Early
in his campaign Mr.. Hawley would
have removed county assessors on
very slight provocation. He has eX-
perienced a change OF heart. He
now realizes that a favorable public
sentiment is essential to his plans
and in order to create that senti-
ment he will speak in the leading
towns of the state. The people of
Caldwell are vitality interested and
they should listen to Mr.. Hawley.
In the opinion of the Tribune
there is only one solution to the
question. The thing to do is to hol6
a special session of the legislature.
A cash valuation is all right pro
vided the proper legislation has
been provided in advance. The
cost of an extra session would not
be very great. 1t would not cost
to exceed $4,000. At this session
the matter could be gone into thor
oughly and from the ground up. At
the present time there would be
nothing to distract the legislature
from the question at issue. At the
next regular session there will be q
great many other things to take the
attention of the legislature, among
them will be the election Of
United States senator. We antici-
pate no prolonged fight over the
senatorship but it will be an in
cident.

Coal For Cash.

We have been selling coal now
for about years and have tried to
keep our customers in coal at the
lowest price we could and have
enough margin to do business. Here
tofore we have always done a credit
business, but beginning with June
1st, we have decided to reduce the
price of coal $1.00 per ton and do
a cash business only. In doing a
credit business we find that we have
a good deal of loss, and this loss Of
course is paid by those who do pay
their bills, and we are required to
keep about 100000 tied up in the
coal business. By doing a strictly
cash business we do away with the
margin necessary to stand for losses
and to pay interest upon the can
ital invested. This rule will be the
same to EVERYONE and there will
be NO exceptions. AS heretofore
we will handle the best coal avail
able, and can supply you with Rock
Springs, Hiawatha or Castle Valley
coal. Remember we are at the
same old place, 9th and Main. Coal
$3.50 per ton delivered, 1000 pounds

MEN HAVE BUT LITTLE REASON

Have you ever noticed how reaay
men are to question public officials
Some of us seem to think that all
men are ready to become grafters
knayes and corruptionists as soon as
they assume the burden of public
office. Men whom we implicitly
trust as private citizens, we look
upon with suspicion as soon as we
have elevated them to positions OF
honor, trust and responsibility.
On the first page of this issue of
the Tribune will be found petition
which has been circulated in Cald-
well to more or less extent. The
petition recites that cities are con-
trolled by bosses and grafters and
that Caldwell is not free from faint;
that homeseekers are headed away
from this city because of the cor
ruption existing here; that the news
papers of the town are muzzled by
gandals; that there has been collu-
sion in the letting of many contracts,
that there was padding in charges
for cement work and fills; in short
that vice, graft and corruption are
rampant in the city of Caldwell.
The petition indicates that the last
city administration was VIGOROUSLY
corrupt. Not only is the admins.
tration questioned but also the news
papers, contractors and the people
The Tribune has little
patience with such Trades and less
with the men responsible for them.

lion in the city of Caldwell 1t is his
iuty to prefer charges. There is a
way of getting at these matters,
