Latah county, since the county
board purchases all its road cul-
verts by comparative bids, gets
the same goods laid down in
Moscow for what, under the old
system, it paid f. 0. b. Portland,
Oregon. This might interest
Clearwater county taxpayers.
Look it up. Clearwater county
might get a lot of valuable in
formation by studying the meth
DDS used in Latah and other
counties. Up there they even let
printing by bid, and this year it
went to the Kendrick Gazette at
a saving Of considerable money
to the people who pay the bill.
Under such a system politics
count for but little, and political
rings can't pay campaign ex-
penses or support a pet paper at
public expense. Public office
should never become a private
snap, nor be considered as be-
longing to private persons.

Who Is To Blame.

Says the Cottonwood Chronicle:
Jack Pennycard received, his
tax notice from the assessor of
Lewis county last week and finds
that he is compelled to pay more
school tax on his land than both
state and county taxes amount to
on the place. Jack owns a farm
in the confines of the special
school district created at Ito last
summer, and the bonding Of the
district to erect new school
building has boosted Jacks share
of the the school tax up to more
than $50 on 100 acres of land.
No wander the residents of that
section speak in lurid language
when they receive their tax
notices" And now we expect
they'll hold Governor Haines and
the republican state administra-
ton responsible for that. Haines
said: Take. your tax receipts to
the polls with YOU" 1t is still
good advice.

The honorable thing for any
county official who wants 40 sell
the county supplies is to resign.
If not, then obey the law, Any
evasion is discreditable, unlawful
and dishonest, and will not be
tolerated by the taxpayers of
Clearwater county, Does any
one immagine the people are
such fools as to stand for any
thing 50 raw as county COM
missioner selling his own goods
to him self for the county, and
paying himself for them out of
the peoples money? The tax
payers would have fat chance
for protection under such a sys-
TEN, for the official who will di-
rectly or indirectly violate the
law would hardly quarrel with
himself over his own bill about
either quality or quantity of
goods or supplies sold to him
self for public use, and paid for
out of public money.

If these were the figures of a
commercial house, any capable
credit man would very readily be
able to compute the relative pros
serity of the concern in short or
der Similar computations may
be applied to the nations, and
they show that, while the next
wealthiest nation has about
twenty-three times as much as
sets as liabilities, we have about
1875 times as much assets as debts.
The bald figures alone should
cheer up the pessimist consider
ably. There certainly is nothing
the matter with the country
financially.

HERE'S TO AHSAHKA.

Let it be emphatically under
stood that the Clearwater Repub-
lican is not opposed to the pro-
posed bridge at Ahsahka. If the
county can afford it, and there is
need for it, then lets have it. But
if the county can't build both the
Ahsahka- Elk River wagon road
and a n ew bridge, then so far as
this pap er can learn, the bridge
should pc postponed till the road
is opened. However the county
board decides, this paper is not
opposed to the new bridge, favor
ing whatever may be best for the
people as whole and Ahsahka
citizens generally. The Republi-
can wants to make itself so plain
that none need misunderstood.
This paper is for anything and
everything that will develope and
advance Clearwater county, and
hopes to be sufficiently broad
minded to understand that a pa
per must not be selfish; that it
must work for all the county;
that Orpfino can have only its
fair proportion of roads and
bridges, and that Ahsahka, Elk
River and all other towns are en-
titled to their share of these
things.
The Republican is glad that il
can now state with some author
ity, that Elk River is not going to
lose its fine mill, and with equal
good will can say that it sincerely
believes Ahsahka is also to have
a saw mill, with a railroad up the
North F ork, and, if not now, 9
little later, that new steel bridge
The time has passed when an
informed newspaper will oppose
any necessary development of its
county, : or insist on hogglne
everything for its home town
You cannot have prosperity in
spots. Clearwater county must
either 20 ahead or stand still
And Orofino can grow and pros.
per only by working in unity fol
all. May Ahsahka get there with
both feet.

Hopes that the cost OF living might be
reduced by free importations Of wheat,
flour and other wheat products from
the great South American grain-pro-
ducing areas Of the Argentine republic
were dissipated recently, when notices
were sent to collectors OF customs that
the retaliation duty on wheat and its
products must be enforced against
Argentina and most Of the other ma
tons of the world. Under the new
tariff law, wheat and its products are
to be admit such proucts free from the
United States. Fl
Argentina imposes duty on semo-
lima, a product Of wheat, and, although
the president and congress of that ma
ton are understood here to favor a Ire
peal Of this provision Of the tariff law,
such action has not been taken.

cording to the Moscow Post, cost
Latah county several thousand
dollars" to elect a successor
to State Senator George Fields,
who moved out of Latah
county as soon as possible after
the legislature adjourned. Well,
were the cost ten times that, il
would be money well spent
Were such a thing possible Mos
COW would now give the cost Of

have had Fields leave the state

lature he did attend.

FIGURES FOR THE PESSIMIST

There is food for thought for
the confirmed pessimist in the
figures prepared by the bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce
of the Department of Commerce,
for publication in the 1918 Sta
tistical Abstract Of the United
States, showing the aggregate
Indebtedness of every country
and colony in the world for which
figures are to be had from official
sources or accepted authorities
The aggregate national indebt-
edness of over seventy countries
for which figures are available,
including practically all the great
nations of the world; is $4,000
100000. Here is how this enor-
nous indebtedness is divided.
France, $6,2S4,OOO,OOO.
Russia, 81, 553, 100000.
Great Britain, SO, 486,OOO,OOO.
Italy, $2,7O7,OOO,OOO.
Spain, $1,815,OOO,OOO.
British India, $l,475,OOO,OOO.
Japan, $l,242,OO0,0OO.
German Empire $1,l7S,OO0,OOO
The German States (aside from
the imperial debit, $3,736,OOO,OOO
The Empire of Austria-Hun-
gary, $l,O51, 100000.
Austria (alone), $1434,O0O,O0O.
Hungary (alone) }, 81, 26S, 100000.
United States, $l,028,OOO,0OO.
Thus it is plain that the national
debt of the United States is less
than that Of any of the great pow
ers and even considerably less
than that of any of the second
rate powers.
On the other hand, our national
wealth greatly overtops that of
any other nation. The following
figures, from the last edition of
the Statesmen's Year Book, tell
this story of the total wealth of
the four richest nations:
The Uniled States, one hundred
thirty billion dollars.
eighty billion dollars.
France, sixty-five billion dollars.
Germany, sixty billion five hun
dred thousand dollars.

1t is alright to divide Idaho
making two states, but the Re
publican is unalterably opposed
to hooking on to Spokane, as has
been proposed. Let the pan
handle become Il brand new
state, and 60 it alone. We have
ample wealth and enough re-
sources to set up housekeeping in
our own home. This would beat
moving into back room while
Spokane politicians occupied the
parlor and the Spokesman-Re-
view bossed the job. Look up
population of the new state OF
North Idaho, Eastern Washington
and a slice of Oregon, and see
what an insignificant figure the
Idaho end of the tri-state propo.
sition would be.

4 case of failure of the Pasteur
treatment is reported from Jackson
vile The four-year- old SON of Allan
Dasher of 1870 East Church street, died
Friday in commissions, after suffering
since Tuesday with severe paroxysms
which the attending physicians said
were caused by rabies due to a dog
bite four months ago. At that time
Ghe child was bitten through the nose
and lips by small black and tan cur,
which was Immediately killed. The
child was given the Pasteur treatment
within twenty-four hours after being
bitten and. after the wounds had heal
ed. appeared to be in normal health.
This Is another case where it was UNI

been mad and the child's death due to

Of course, that little talk that the
Florida delegation had in Senator
Fletchers office did not amount to
anything. On the broad principle that
irreconcilable elements can never be
fused into a harmonious whole no mat
ter in what crucible they may be plac-
ed, the members of Florida's deIega-
ton could not agree on applications
for federal appointments. I was
invited to a conference, and the talk
had not gone very far before I became
painfully aware that I was up against
a shut out game. 1t seems that it has
been the custom here to let the mem
bers of the House name the postma sters
and the senators name the other Of
ficials It would have suited me fine
TO have agreed to this custom being
continued in relation to Florida affairs.
for there are many times more post
masters than there are other offices
and it is a safe democratic rule, which
I have always tried to follow, TO help
the many instead of the few. But,
when it came to a division, 1 asked Col.
Sparkman how much of his district he
would be willing to give up to me. His
emphatic reply was, I will not give
you anything" The same question put
rough and ready answer that he was
not giving up anything. Emmet Wilson,
from the third district. did offer to di-
vide equally on those on whom the
two Of US could not agree in MS dis
trict, which struck me as being only
fair way. As no better plan was offer
ed, or even suggested. I rose UP and
informed the delegation that I could
not agree TO any plan that would pre-
vent me from doing what I could 10
represent the people of Florida, in ap-
pointments as in everything else, and
that I expected TO act as I thought
best and to do everything that I could
to get the men I thought most deserv-
ing in all Of the federal Offices IN Flor
ida.
This little talk in Fletcher's office
took place Thursday afternoon. Fri

INDIANA MEN
FAVORABLY IMPRESSED

Mr. Charles G. Holland, a Florida
booster who lives in Indianapolis, has
recently purchased for himself and
associates a valuable lime deposit
south of Ocala. 1t is proposed to use
this deposit in the manufacture of ar
ticles not at all related to building ma
terials.
These people were much Impressed
with the large and prosperous farms
and live stock, seen in their automo-
bile trips out of Ocala, and likely will
become interested further than their
recent purchase.

SOME PROSPECTS OF
CONCERTS THIS SUMNER

a meeting was held in the Moose
hall last evening by members of the
band, with a view to reOrganizing that
excellent institution. Mr.. 4. E. Gerig,
the director, has had many PROPOSE
tions from leading business men in re-
gard to resuming the Friday evening
concerts that have always given our
people so much pleasure, and at last
nights meeting estimates were made
as to the necessary expense. The
members of the band are willing to do
the work if the public will foot the
bills There is no other one thing that
gives the people Of Ocala so much
satisfaction as the summer evening
concerts, and the Star hopes and ear
nestly recommends that the public be
enough alive to it's own interest to
give the musicians the necessary sup
port 1t will not take much, and if
each will contribute a little the requir-
ed sum can easily be made up.

One of the last acts of the outgoing
administration was to consolidate Gus
toms districts throughout the country.
One of the results of this was to make
a district of all east and south Florida
ports with headquarters in Jackson
while. AS Tampa and Key West both
have much larger customs receipts
than Jacksonville, the unfairness of
this arrangement is evident, and the
Tampa papers are naturally quite
angry about it.

A number of the state papers have
been scoring the postoffice department
for having SO many negro postal clerks
on southern railroads and compelling
white men to work under the negroes.
Now comes a high official of the de-

few southern white men enter the rail-
way mail service, and that sometimes
at is absolutely necessary to put ne
groes of experience over untried
white men.
