NOLLD GUST COMMISSIONER
Denver Dayton Files Malicious Suit
Against Moravia Official

Suit was filed last week by
Denver P. Dayton against County
Commissioner McColl in which the
plaintiff seeks to derive McColl of
his office and force him to pay
$500 as a reward to the plaintiff
for filing the information. In The
complaint McColl is charged with
having sold supplies indirectly to
h e county. 7 he preliminary
hearing of the case has been set for
next Monday.
Commissioner McColl's friends
state that the suit is another evil
dence of the righteousness OF one
who has been repeatedly foiled in
his attempts to persuade the county
commissioners to build road near
Naples which would cost the
county considerable money and
which would be no good to any
one but himself.

RECOMMEND
new CHANGES
County Assessors and Commissioner
Held Annual Convention In
Boise Last Week
OPPOSE TAX COLLECTION LAW
Want Changes Of Laws Governing
Commissioners and Assessors

County commissioners n d
assessors of the state spent three
days in Boise last week in their
regular annual conference.
The joint session of the officials
resulted in the adoption of resolu-
lions recommending that the legis
lature make many changes in the
law affecting commissioners and
assessors and in the laws which
come in conflict with the operation
of the offices. Among some of the
most important was the election OF
the county commissioners for the
term of two, four and six years
with maximum salary of $1,000,
each, county cruise and classify
timber lands at the earliest possible
moment, automobiles to be taxed
by the county in which they are
owned, state tax commission to be
elected instead of appointed, and
that the charges of non-support be
be considered a felony instead of a
misdemeanor.
One of the features of the clos
ing hours of the session was the
unanimous opposition to the re-
cent law making the county trea-
surer the collector of taxes. All
the commissioners with the excep-
ton of one went on record as OPP
posed to the law on account of the
additional duties and troubles that
would be involved in making the
change from having the assessor
act as collector. The convention
reelected the following officers;
o. C. luck, Twin Falls, president;
Geo. F. McCombs, Bonner, vice
president; w. B. Mitchell, Canyon.
) secretary: William Briggs, Ada,
treasurer.
The selection of the place foI
the next convention was left sub,
iect to the call of the president.

SHORTEST DAY
YEAR
Sunlight for Only Eight Hours Lat
Sunday

With but eight and four tenths
hours of sunlight last Sunday was
the shortest day of the year. Be-
ginning Monday morning tn e
earth's swing about its orbit will
gradually bring the sun above the
eastern horizon earlier and earlier,
with corresponding later setting
in the afternoon. Officially the
sun rose Sunday morning at 1887
an d set at $3.50. Curiously
the days of the earliest sunset are
not the shortest days of the year,
owing to their corresponding
earlier sunrise. On December 10
the sun set at 1888 and from the
9TH to the 10th it set at 1857, the
earliest sunset of the year. The
rate of increase in the length of
the days will be slow, averaging
about minute a day, or a half
minute earlier on sunrise and a
half minute later on sunset.

WILL NOT CALL
SPECIAL SESSION
Governor Haines Cannot Comply With
Requests From Northern Idaho
Too Much Expense
MANY IMPORTANT ISSUES UP
Much Opposition Expressed Over the
State

The faint hope OF many Koot-
enai Valley residents that special
session of the Idaho state legisla
ture would be called by Governor
Haines for the purpose of allowing
the legal passage os the Elliott
drainage bill and so permit the
carrying out of the plan to drain
the 100000 acres of fertile valley
land in this district, without fur
ther costly delay, went glimmering
last Saturday when a dispatch was
received from Boise announcing
that the governor had refused to
convene the Idaho solons.
Since the first time that the call
ing of special session of the legis-
lature was whispered opposition
was occasioned, principally from
Southern Idaho quarters and from
sources which selfshly yelled the
benefit which might be derived,
through the passage of drainage
bill, for many of the most fertile
and productive districts of Idaho.
One of the chief obstacles in the
way of special session seems to
have been the uncertainty as to
whether the legislature would be
limited in its legislative work to
matters outlined in the governors
call. There are many who declare
that the legislature can not go be-
yond the call. There are a good
many others who take the opposite
view and say, once called together,
the legislature is its own boss.
Governor Haines issued the
following statement in explanation
of his refusal to call the much
talked of special session;
u have definitely decided not to
call a special session of the legis-
lature unless some emergency
should arise which is not apparent
at the present time. The question
of calling a special session has
been seriously considered by me,
and it is no doubt true that there
are certain matters of large bust
ness importance which might pro-
fitably be acted upon by the legis-
lature at the present time. dis.

) time three, if not four. vacancie:

Personal MentShiOn

The weather in Bingville at present
is very hot and business is almost at a
standstill, as you might say, espeshial1y
in the heat of the day. Day before yes
terday we walked down to the P. O.
about noon and the only person we met
was hound dog.
You may know its turrib1e hot when
Letitia Jones of Sorrow Hollow started
for Bingville last Saturday with II lbs.
of butter in a basket to exchange for
groceries at Hen Weathersbys store
and that when she arrived at the store
outen the basket and had likely trickled
along the road all the way from Sorrow
Hollow Letitia returned home in dis
gust.
The Bingvil1e church still leaks some
thing awful in one spot right over the
Amen corner. Last Sunday it rained
during services and Deacon Butter
worth, who was asleep, got so wet be-
fore he woke up that he had to go
home and change his clothing, thus
missing the latter porshion of the ser
mon as well as the first porshion.
Brad Hinsley's brood mare was
seized with the colick the other night
and Brad went and got Doc Livermore
and told him that Alvira was sick, and
Doc he hurried home with Brad and
was surprised to find the mare sick in
std of Brad's wife. Doc never knew
that the mares name was A1vira
Arioch Tucker has took off his boots
and is going in his bare feet. This may
be comfortable, but how does it look
for a growed up man to go around in
his bare feet?
Mrs. Bill Hepburn, wife of Our tai
ented and artistick blacksmith, gave
birth to bouncing baby boy last week
and a nounces that she is going to raise
him on the bottle. Editorially speaking,
we do not think this is a good plan.
Bill Hepburn hisself was raised largely
on the bottle, and look at him! Bill
amt missed going to the Co seat and a
coming home full every Saturday for
the past twenty years as regular as Sat
terday comes around-unless it was be-
cause of circumstances not under his
control If we was Mrs. Hepburn we
wouldn't raise that child on the bottle
The chance is it will take to the bottle
soon as it gifts old enough without be-
ing teached. 1t will probably come by
its appetite for bottle honestly.

DOG DAY EDDYTORIUL

Wall, here we be agin right on
the brink of dog days.
Here we be standing on the
threshold of the month of August,
during which the dog star is in the
ascendency; during which a Shiny
green skun collects on the surface
of ponds and swamp pools; during
which the nuskeeter, when it lights
on a person sticks closer than a
cookie burr in a mules tail.
Dog days is something that amt
never welcomed by anybody and
also something which after it has
passed into oblivion remains I'm
mourned and unsung.
Dog days is the days when the
air feels damp and sticky and mug
gy and also the days when the
woodwork in houses swe1ls up and
the bureau drawers stick tighten
bung In a bari.
Personally as editor and prop.
and everything else of the Bingville
Bugle, we consider ourself with
becoming modesty we hope) as no
think less than a human fount of
knowledge, but we must confess
that we don't know what dog days
was invented for, because during
this period person somehow feels
sort of out of sorts and miserable
until the cool crisp zephyrs of Sep
TENDER comes to clear the at1nos-
fere.
1t is said that during dog days if
a person gets bit by dog they are
sure to have hydrofoby. For this
reason it might be we'll for them as
owns dogs in Bingville (and who
don't own a dog in Bingville,
pray?) to muzzle their dogs during
dog days so that the dog-gone dogs
won't bite anybody. Who wants
to be bit by dog and have hydro
toby, we ask?
Speaking of dogs, there is more
dogs in Bingville at the present
writing than we need. A good dog
is blessing to any household, but
most of the dogs in Bingville amt
that kind of dogs. They are just
common ordinary ours which amt
got any pedigrees or breeding or
anything else much We won't
mention any dogs in particular nor
call any names as to the owners of
the dogs, but we calkilate it would
be good plan if some of the dogs
in Bingvil1e would pass on to that
bourne whence no dog returns.

Bill a Prisoner

Old Bill Seaver, an old and resepckt-
ed citizen of Bingvil1e who has long
ago outlived his usefulness and don't
do much except loaf round town one
place and another from sunrise to sum
set, dropped into the Bugle office tother
day and laid down behind the press
and went to sleep, and when it come
evening we forgot all about Bill and
shut and locked the office and went
home and never thought about him I'M
til we opened up shop next morning at
about a. m.
There was Bill setting inside waiting
for Us and as mad as a wet hen Bill
desired to know what we locked him
in the office for, and we told him that
we forgot all about him. Then he got
SO mad that we had to push him outen
the office. He paused long enough to
say that he would stop his paper and
never wanted to see a copy of it as
long as he lives. We stop Bills paper
with pleasure Being as he has been a
constant reader and subscriber for nine
yrs. and amt never paid US a cent sinst
he started, we consider it is more profit
table to stop his paper at this juncture
than to let him get any deeper into our
debt. What applies to Bill and his
paper also applies to many of our other
subscribers, and we may mention some
names In the future if they don't pay
up.
