IS NOT ENTITLED TO SENATORSHIP
BYRON S. DEFENBACH FAILS TO MAKE GOOD HIS PREDICTION
PROMISES WHILE ASSESSORS NOT FRIEND
OF THE COMMON PEOPLE

The Boomers Ferry Herald had
not planned to take any part in
advocating the candidacy of any
nominee for office in the primary
election campaign but the Herald
does believe that the attention of
the voters of Bonner county should
be directed to the fight for nomin
alton for the state senatorship be
tween Senator O. +. Page and
Byron S. Defenbach
Mr.. Defenbach asks for the sup
port of Bonner county voters on
the strength of what he has done
while in Office as assessor. The
question for the voter to decide to-
day is, Has Mr.. Defenbach kept
his promises made prior to his cleo
ton as county assessor" If not,
will he keep such promises as he is
making in his campaign for nomi-
nation as state SENATOR
Two years ago as at the present
time Mr.. Defenbach was posing as
the peoples friend" and the
friend of the rancher in particular
and he promised that he would in
sist upon the payment of the just
taxes of all corporations which, he
intimated, were consistent tax
dodgers. What did this promise
amount tor
No corporation in Bonner county
of any size, paid the amount Of
taxes that they had paid the pre-
vious year. The railroads, whose
tax levy was set by the State Board
of Equalization, paid practically
the same as they did of the previous
year. The taxes of Standpoint
were reduced on an average Of

amusement of the evening and the
prizes were awarded to Miss Susan
Chastek, Mrs. Willis Ashby, w. o.
Rosebaugh, and Will Kinnear.
After the card games delicious
refreshments were served and a
pleasant evening was concluded
with the rendition of several musical
numbers given by members of the

give proper attention to his duties
as a member of the board of village
trustees and he accordingly asked
that the board accept his resigna-
ton. The board accepted the res
i gnation at the same time voicing
its regret at losing Mr., Remer as
one of its members.
The trustees were somewhat sur
prised when Tim Callahan rendered
his resignation as village marshall
and asked to be relieved immedi-
ately. Mr.. Callahan stated that he
understood that some of the citi-
zens had complained of his services
and that he did not care for the
position unless he could give gen
eral satisfaction. At the request
of the board Marshall Callahan
consented to act as marshall unit
a successor could be secured.

one-third. The amount of money
received by Bonner county from
taxes last year was practically the
same as that of the preceding year.
Now if the railroads and corpor-
atoms paid the same or a less tax
the preceding year and Standpoint
and vicinity paid one-third less,
who made up the deficiency
There is but one answer and that
is the rancher and residents of
the towns outside of Standpoint -
Again Mr.. Defenbach advised
the county commissioners to make
a two mill levy in place of the five
mill levy for general school pur-
poses. This resulted in the clos
ing of eight schools in Bonner
county. The reduction of this
levy was in direct violation of the
state law which requires a general
school levy of not less than FIVE
mills
The above is an illustration of
Mr.. Defenbach' inefhciency and
lack of faith with the public.
When you ask what he has done
for Bonner county, the corporation
of which he was a manager or the
defunct bank of which he was a
director, the answer can be made
with the one word, nothing
Mr.. Defenbach has always been
a leading member of the select few
that have tried to establish them
selves at the county seat as the
dictators of political policies of the
county and supervise the division
of the pork barrel which is annu-
ally distributed among the republi-
cans and democrats who have en-
trance into this select circle.
