IT TAKES MONEY TO RUN
A COUNTRY PRINT SHOP

ODuring the past two weeks we
have mailed to many of our subscribe
ers statements of their subscription
account but only small per cent
have 40 far responded. Now we
did not send those statements 'tjust
for the fun of it, We sent them
because the money Is due us and be-
cause we need 1t I'm order to meet our
obligations.
Some doubtless laid the statement
aside, intending to remit in day or
two but have forgotten 1t. Others
probably concluded to wait until they
come to Montpelier and then call at
the office to settle. We imagine
that some have said, "Well. my ac-
count is only el.50 and that won't
help the editor any, and / can pay it
any old time." There is where the
that person is mistaken-the 81 30
Will help US, for there are several
hundred of orr Subscribers owing us
81. 30 each at this time and II all of
them remit before the first OF JAM
| uary, IL WOuiu lll6hn guhb we COuiu
meet all of our obligations.
It Is true that at this time of the
yaar most every one has place for
all OF their dollars, but that Is no
excuse for passing up their subscrip-
tion accounts. Don't think for
moment that . country newspaper
can run on "wind" any more than a
bank or any mercantile institution.
If you feel that the Examiner isn't
worth $3.50 year. you should be
frank enough to say 80 and request
US to discontinue sending it to you,
which we will gladly do. But after
reading the paper every week for q
year, 1t seems to as that every SUBJ
sbriber ought to be honest enough to
pay for #.
r There is more money due us on
subscription at this time than there
E should be and while we have no do
sire to be hard on any of our readers.
yet we must insist that they make q
special effort to settle their accounts

Mr.. Peterson now returns the COM

his chief assistant.
This action of Mr.. Guheen il

President Taft will have the righ
to appoint him for full four year
term, and should the senate confirm

The democrats, especially the IS
pirants for that Office, are hopinl
that the senate will refuse TO con

ENCONOMY Will BE
THE WATCH WORD
Governor-elect Haines Declares That Running
Expenses Of the State Must be Reduced
Giving the Matter Much Study.

Govenhor- elect John M. Haines
is advising with leading rcpubl-
cans relative to urging the legisla
, ture to enact laws which will be
beneficial to the state regarding the
lhmit 10 be placed upon the levy
which can be placed against the
assessed valuation of the state. In
this connection the incoming exec
utive is also devisiDg ways and
means of lessening the expenditure
of the money of the state and AT the
same time providing an efficient
working force to carry out the bus-
iaess of the state. II is the purpose
of the new administration TO use
economy in every part of the state
government and to lower the tax
rate. 1t is thought that by dong
this more outside capital will be
invested in Idaho.
The first thing which is being
considered is the retrenchment of
the expenses of the different
branches of the executive depart
ment of the government. In order
to do this there will be plans for a
reorganization of the different de-
partments along business lines. By
the new methods il IL expected to
install modern system into the bus
mess of the state and cut down the
number of employees in the state
house. One of the departments
which will IN all Likelihood be re.
organized Is the state land depart
ment 1t liz thought that it will be
put upon business basis and that
the work can be done with a less
number of employees. In all other
subdivisions of the executive de-
partment of the government the
same reorganization is to be made.
Goyernor-elect Haines in doing
this is taking his first step toward
carrying out the policies which he
outlined after his election and also
IN carrying out the policies which
he announced and the promises he
made to the voters of the state be
for the election.
The governor-elect will insist OF
economy being practiced in the ap
propriauons made BY the iegisia
ture toward the running of thu
states institutions. 1t has been |
matter of grave concern for severa
Montpelier examiner., 1912-12-20

years as the best method Of doing
away with the extravagance which
has been manifest in several of the
institutions. The first thing that
will in all probability be done is the
selection of state purchasing
agent, who will purchase the sup
plies for all the institutions OF the
state and who will secure the best
supplies for the smallest price. Ii
is thought that good man in this
department could save the state
thousands of dollars each year.
In Jhs connection it is under.
stood that Governor-elect Haines
has under consideration new sys-
TEN of accounting which is to sup
plant the old system now in use in
the state house Under the present
system the state officials cannot
tell whether the supplies which are
charged for by the ditfeIent firms
which furydsh articles to the states
institutions are ever received at the
institutions or not. Ii is proposed
by the governor-elect that there
should be a, new system installed,
the same as is in use in the large
business houses of the country,
whereby the general manager OF
the company can tell at a glance
where the supplies we're used and
what they were used for, whether
the price paid was fair price and
how much it costs TO run the insti
tutions in ratio to the number OF
inmates or the number of officers.
Under Governor-elect Halnes' ad
ministration there will not be any
new offices created excepting a few
commissions which are necessary
for carrying on the business of th,
state.
II is possible that the Legislature
will be requested to be as econom
zeal as it can in the matter of legis
lative expenses. 1t is thought BY
many that the number of employs
around the legislature could b.
lessened and that the printing bill
could be in measure cut down
Goyernor-cIect Haines will not sa,
anything concerning the Legislature
as he thinks that is separa,
branch of the government of tn
state which should not be told ho,
to run its affairs.--Statesman.

big argument in his favor, when
you consider that the jurisdiction
of the secretary of the interior
does not extend east of the Rocky
Mountains. Only the western
state are vitality affected by this
appointment and great stress is
being made on the grave mistake of
previous administrations placing
eastern men to this position. OH
err candidates are Governor Norris
of Montana; Joseph N. Teal of Ore
gon; Josephus Daniels of North
Carolina and Ex-Governor Adams
of Colorado.
Senator Borah's reputation as q
foSceful and efficient champion of
any cause in which he becomes in
terested is we'll established here in
the east and there are frequent de-
inands upon him to take part in
campaigns for reformed govern
mental conditions. Recently he
was prevailed upon by delegation
from the Young Republican club Of
New York to assist in the coming
mayorality fight in the effort which
is to be made to clean up that city,
and make two or three speeches for
them. His first speech was at q
dinner in honor of District Attor-
ney Whitman, Thursday night,
who it is probable will be the cam
d,date for mayor, and his remarks
drew much favorable comment.
Among the federal appointments
effecting Idaho, TO be acted upon
at this session Of congress, are the
receiver of the land Office At Black
foot and postmasters Of Idaho Falls,
St. Anthony, Frangeville and Paris.
While there has been considerable
controversy as to the confirming OF

POCATELLO DREAMS
OF GREAT THINGS

Pocatello has dreams of large
things in the future, but all are in
line of railroad improvements. The
following from the Pocatello Tri-
bnne is self explanatory:
"Reports are carrent that the
Short Line has adopted plans for
shop. engagements in Pocatello
that will make the Gate City the
greatest railway point west of the
Mississippi river. These reports,
while they cannot be traced direst-
ly to official sources, are said to be
sufficiently authoritive to warrant
belief. 1t is said that the contem-
plated arrangements mean the con-
struction of two additional machine
shops, each as large as the present
one, the employment OF 700 add
tional men in the mechanical de
partment; the erection OF man
moth car repair shops and a foun
dry and the constitution of Poca
tello as the main machine sbol
headquarters of the entire Hartman
system. This is said to be contin

Statehood is nov W properly smeared all over Arizona. There are no more territories in the old land grant. The news came We'd nesday morning and as a conse- quence there are heap of new faces in new places at the court house.

Storms have been de- layed but now we will have snows; cows may "beller" louder without being afraid of being heard in Washington. The great father at Washington has cut loose and G. w. P.

When a merchant receives consignment of goods, he charges up freight, light, rent, insurance, hire and incidentals against them, then adds profit. If the news paper puts a reasonable price on his goods, not considering the thousand and one boosts he gives the merchant, the town, h e church, he's a robber. If there is any public enterprise it is sup posedly the duty of the paper to pay men to set the type, print the paper and boost-gratis, be- cause 1t helps the town-and incl dentally every property owner and merchant.
