ally all the benefit Of the location
of the state capital it would seem
that this county should be willing
to pay its share Of the capital in
terest and sinking fund without
charging it up to the cost of
state government, and it will be
seen from the percentage stated
above, that 80 per cent of the
$1O1,5 and IS per cent of the
$8,416 contributed by Ada county
is raised either directly or indi-
rectly for the purpose educating
the boys and girls of the state
What Ada County Pays
"A simple calculation will now
show that of the total amount
levied by the state against Ada
county, $34,591.68, goes into the
funds provided for the support Of
schools, leaving only$66, 932, 80 as
the total contributed by this coun-
ty for other than school purposes.
But it should be remembered that
Ada county will receive from the
state government for the support
of its schools this year the sum Of
$22, 844.83, which must also be set
off against the $66, 932.32, leaving
total of only $44,O87.49, which
by the widest stretch of the i'm
Imagination can be considered as
going to the state politicians"
If now, for the purpose of
comparison, we add the $34, sol .68
raised in Ada county for state
school purposes to the amount,
which, as shown above, will be
raised for the maintenance of our
local schools, it will be seen that
of the taxes raised in Ada county
during the present year the enor-
nous sum of 1914, 591.68 will be
for school purposes. Comparing
this amount to the $44,O87.49 con-
tributed by this county for other
than school purposes, it will be
seen that for every dollar raised
by this county to maintain the
state government, exclusive of
schools, there is raised for school
purposes approximately $7.75.
Some Other Items.
If our critics of state govern
ment were inclined to be reason
ably liberal, perhaps they would
not object to still further deduct
from Ada county's contribution
to state government the sum Of
81, 243.8O which is collected to
assist in maintaining our state
penal and charitable institutions,
nor the sum Of $4,000 which is
paid the two district judges and
two court reporters of which Ada
county gets almost the exclusive
use. If this were done there
would be left Of the total amount
raised from Ada county only
$12,843 to be charged against this
county for all operations of the
state government, including the
expenses of the legislature, the
deficiencies coming over from the
previous administration, the cost
of the supreme court, the cost Of
maintenance of all the offices in
the statehouse, the maintenance
of the capital building and
grounds, horticultural and sani-
tary inspection, the maintenance
of the livestock board, and all the
other incidental expenses of
every variety which the state
government has to meet.
Ada County NAV Survive.
Twelve thousand eight hum
dred and forty-three dollars and
sixty-five cents may therefore be
taken as Ada county's part of
the cost Of maintaining, the state

ADA COUNTY'S SHARE OF COST
OF STATE GOVT.

ADA COUNTY'S SHARE OF COST
OF STATE GOVT.
The Evening Capital News re-
Gently made a statement in which
it claimed that Ada county paid
more for the cost of government
than it did for educational pur-
poses, and charged that the state
politicians" were drawing unduly
hard on poor Ada.
Capt. Davis, private secretary
of Gov. Haines, denies the charge
made by the paper and has given
out the following statement as to
what that county pays for gov
eminent and education and what
the net cost of government" is
to that county:
THE statement made recently
in an evening paper entitled,
Three Times as Much for the
Politicians as for the Public
Schools to the effect that the
cost of state government is great
er than the general cost of edu-
eating the boys and girls of the
state is viciously misleading,
whether intentionally so or not.
It is difficult to understand why
a responsible paper should pub
fish such glaring misrepresenta-
tons concerning our state gov
eminent, and it is equally diff
cult to understand how such OBJ
vious misstatements could be
made unless they were made
Intentionally.
Ada County School Fund
The startling statement quoted
above seems to be based upon
the amount of state taxes levied
against Ada county this year and
the amount which it is estimated
will be raised for general school
purposes. The assumption is
also made, which is no doubt
warranted, that like conditions
exist in the other 80 counties of
the state, but great error was
made in the statement that only
100000 is to be raised in Ada
county this year for general
school purposes. It is estimated
that this amount will be raised by
the general tax levy, and the in
formation is obtained from the
office of the county superinten-
dent of schools that the amount
to be raised by special school lev
les this year will exceed the
amount so raised last year, which
is given as $l89,228. If this pro-
portionate increase in the amount
to be raised by special levies
equals that made in the general
levy, it is safe to assume that
there will be raised in Ada county
for local school purposes during
the present year the sum of
$4,000.
Ada County From the State.
But even this is not all. It is
found by actual calculation that
80 per cent Of all money appro-
priated by the last legislature was
appropriated for school purposes;
that Is per cent of the total
amount was raised for the MAIN
tenance of penal and charitable
institutions, and that Is per cent
of the amount levied for interest
on outstanding bonds is collected
for interest on school bonds.
The amount to be contributed by
Ada county to the state govern
ment is in all $116,362, divided as
follows: $1O1,524 for the general
fund, $8,416 for general interest
and sinking fund purposes, and
$6,322 for the capital building
interest and sinking fund.

OVER HALF OF ALL SICKNESS CAUSED

Hundreds Are Suffering With Kidney Trouble and Don't
Know 1t. Backache, Bladder Disorder and

1t is well recognized fact
among physicians today, that the
greater part of all sickness can be
avoided by keeping the kidneys
working properly.
This Is even more important than
for the bowels 70 move regularly,
because the kidneys and bladder
are the filterers and sewers of the
body. II YOU suffer with pains in
the back or sides, bladder or urin-

many other symptoms of kidney
trouble, don't neglect yourself an
