10 me that this question should bo
fully thrcshed out.
The machines arc only equipped
with spaces to vote on 20 questions;
now, then, can they be used i'm an
election where there are 3S ques-
tions to be submitted? Very obvI-
ously, only by discriminating against
l3 of these propositions and placing
them on the machine in an improper
place To me IL seems that. if the
people are TO pass legislation, it is
very necessary that they be given
the fullest opportunity 10 vote on
the questions submitted
And, now that the voting machine
question is up, why not get the views
of our various candidates for county
commissioner on this subject? When
these machines were bought, the peo-
pie were taken uuawarcs, and we do
not want to get caught again Do
yOu realize that thr standard Voting

chimes, invest moro money and get
the now ones? Think of iti-an in
yesmgnt Of $4,000 and the ma
chimes out OF datn after having been
used Just twice. And. il we get the
new machines. aud then some such
amendment to the election laws as
the preferential system of voting or
the headIess ballot should be adopted,
they would have to 50 to the scrap
heap too.
We are told that tho machines
&
We will grant that they save some
thing in wages of judges and clerk
hire, how much? Let us suppose it
would take two full extra days to
count the Austria lian ballots. There
are five officials in each precinct. 20
precinCts-in> all 100 officials who
receive $3.50 each. Now, for the two
extra days in counting ballots, IL
would cost $500 in wages. An in
vestigation has shown that the cost
of printing ballots, setting up the
booths, etc, is about offset by the
cost OF printing machine labels,
printing sample cards Of the face OF
the machines, moving the machines
to and from the polling places and
the pay of an expert mechanic to
handle them. If there is any differ
ence 1t is in favor of the ballots. So
the only saving is $500 in wages.
Now, look at the cost of the ma
chimes. We have $4,000 invested
in them, and money around here is
worth at least s per cent. Thus the
interest on our investment amounts
to $1,0iO per year, or S2,OS0 in two
years-the machines are only used
every two years; so we must charge
up two years interest against them.
Then the insurince costs S2oO for
the biennial period. And. how are
we going to determine the dcprecia
ton? Generally depreciation on ma
chincry is figured at about 10 per
cent per ycar-and unused machine
ry dopTCciates sometimes faster than
used. These machines have depre-
ciated at least 30 per cent, because
we cannot use them in primary elcC-
tions But, give them all the bene-
tit and figure the depreciation at
per cent for the two years; in haul

TO HELP PUSH WORK FORWARD
So-operatlon Movement for Larger
Crops, Better Roads, More Pros
porous People and a

This marks the beginning Of a new
and greater business service. It in a
cooperative movement for larger
crops, better roads, happier homes,
more prosperous people, and a richer
and better nation. That is to saw.
the Fl c Service Bureau proposes to

ada what Holden has done for Iowa,
After considering many offers, and
after an investigation of the company
and its works, Professor Perry G..
Holden has entered the service of the
l II c Service Bureau at Chicago.
Professor Holden is known wher-
ever real agriculture is known. His
Whole life is one of service. He orig

ton direct to farmers. He is the ia

The object Of the I II c Service Blu.
reau is the promotion of agricultural
education, and cooperation which
will tend to raise the whole tone of
commercial, industrial and farm life.
Since agriculture Is the basis of pros
perity and progress, naturally farm
problems claim first attention. The aim
is higher efficiency, both on and off
the farm.
To do big work a big organization
Is necessary. Not only the bigness.
but the perfection of the International
organization as well appealed to Pro.
lessor Holden. The big general agen-
cies, scattered all over the United
States and Canada the statesmen,
travellers and expert machine men;
the 10000 dealers-every one, SO far
as possible, is to be made an apostle
of better farming.
For years the International Har-
vester Company has realized the i'm
rortance of service. It has snent mil
lions of dollars in the perfection of Ia
bor-saving machines, and now the
company is going in for direct service
direct to the farmers, and direct to
the farmers children, that the men
and women of tomorrow may be more
capable and SO more prosperous than
the men and women of today.
1t is no longer a theory that II we
are to get the most out of life we
must raise more per acre. "1nten-
sive farming is in the air. It is the
battle cry of peace and plenty. But
raising more is the result of mind,
not muscle We must know. And
not only that, we must know we
know. and know why we know. We
must know good seed from had right
cultivation from wrong, and the why's
and wherefofs Of climates, soils,
fruits, cattle, horses, poultry, and so
forth.
For these things the bureau was
established. But the bureau and
Professor Holden see more than an
average increase of few bushels
| They see time coming when farmers
will raise twice as many bushels OF
corn, wheat and oats to the acre,
and like Yields of all other kinds OF
farm products They see a time when
farmers and farmers wives and their
children will think more and work
less. Every bushel raised means just
that much profit, and the profits OF
the farm promote commerce and In.
dustry.
After a period of good work in Mich
igan agricultural college, better work
at Illinois, and great work at Iowa
Professor Holden now enters upon a
worlds work. While in future Pro
lessor Holden will designate Chicago
rs home, he says he ID not leaving Iowa
he is merely carrying Iowa to The
rest CT tho world.

Recall Not Yet Ready.

The recall amendment will also have
to be enlarged upon by acts of the leg
islature and the manner in which it is
to be exercised will have to be defined
by that body. 1t does not apply to the
judicial officers in this state. Every
officer is subject to recall except just
ices of the supreme court and judges
of the districts courts. There has been
an impression abroad that appointive
offices are subject to recall under the
new constitutional amendment, but it
only applies to those officials who have
been elected through the medium of the
voters.
The amendment limiting the bonded
Indebtedness of the stat to the sum of
100000 exclusive of the debts al
ready contracted by the territory of
Idaho and assumed by the state, passed
by large majority. This will enable
the state to issue bonds so that the two
wings of the capitol may be completed
WilHoui utldy.
What Amendments Mean.
The purpose of the amendments and
the vote cast for and against same is
as follows:
The first amendment provided for
the referendum in Idaho under laws to
be prescribed by the legislature. Under
this amendment the voters of the state
reserve the right to reject laws passed
by the legislature by petitioning the
state officials to permit referendum
election to be held What will be nee
essary to call an election of this kind
will be prescribed at the next session of
the legislature.
The second amendment provided for
the initiative. Under this amendment
the voters Of the state may propose
and pass laws at the polls regardless of
the legislature. The conditions under
which this amendment may be exer-
cised will be enacted into laws at the
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1912-12-05

Every constitutional amendment
submitted to the voters at the late
election carried by large majority.
Several of the amendments received
large vote, while others did not. In
many instances the vote cast for the
constitutional amendments fell $4,000
votes behind the number of votes cast
for the presidential electors.
The largest vote recorded for any
of the amendments is that cast for the
referendum amendment to the consti-
tuition. In the 81 counties of the state
the vote cast for and against this
amendment totaled 57,131. The total
vote cast for presidential electors in
the state was 104,203. According to
these figures only about 55 per cent
of those voting at the election took the
trouble to mark their ballots on the
question of amending the constitution
More Work to Be Done.
The official vote in all of the coun-
ties upon the constitutional amend.
ments has been checked over by the
state board of canvassers and the
clerks who are engaged in copying the
figures into the official register. When
this is done and the result declared by
the state board of canvassers the
amendments will become part of the
constitution automatically. There is
no time set for the amendments to go
into effect, but great many laws will
have to be passed by the next legisla-
ture under the authority of the new
constitutional amendments before they
will become operative. This is true of
the initiative and referendum. Both
of these amendments provide that the
Legislature shall enact laws and pre-
scribe conditions under which these
two amendments may be used by the
voters.
