MINORITY RULE.

The fact that our government
Is now in the hands Of a party
which polled only a minority Of
the votes at the last election pre-
sents a problem Of Importance.
This condition Is not new one,
but it is attracting great deal
Of attention all over the world.
The imposition of the will of the
majority upon whole people is
a doctrine in whose defense
much has been and much may
be said. But the imposition of
the will of the minority upon
the whole people cannot be JusH-
fed in the same way. The So
luton which a great many wise
men are looking upon with favor
is some scheme Of proportional
representation which will give
every party US much representa-
ton in the legislature as the
number Of It's votes would en-
title 1t to. Such q scheme would
give every body of men Of reason
able numbers holding some def
mite political doctrine at least
some representation even though
they might not be numerous
! enough to carry the elections in
single observation-disclosures Murray

MANS DUTY.

The duty Of a man is to be
useful to his fellow men: If pos
sible, to be useful to many Of
them; failing this. to be useful
to his ncighbors. and, falling
them, to himself, for when he
helps others he advances the
general interests Of mankind.
Just as he who makes himself
a worse man does harm not only
to himself, but to all those to
whom he might have done good
if he had made himself a better
one. so he who deserves well OF
himself does good to others by
the very fact that he is prepar-
ing what will be Of service to
men.--Seneca.

pensive court house at this time.
1t is not the idea of the board to
erect a building for its de luxe"
qualities altogether, but to build
something that will provide good,
comfortable office accommodate
tons at the minimum cost.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1913-06-27

From what we can learn from
conversations had with men from
the different parts Of the county,
the principal opposition to the
issue Of bonds for court house
purposes, rests on nothing more
substantial than prejudice against
Orofino. The need Of the pro-
posed Improvement is conceded,
but those with whom we have
talked. who are opposed to il, say
that it is because Orofino is get
ting it all. They point to $4,000
being expended for a bridge at
this point. We will admit that
this money would have been Of
more general benefit to the peo-
pie Of the county, at large, if It had
been appropriated for roads from
localities that have no commune
cation with the principal markets
and bushes centers of the county.
The editor Of this paper believed
at the time the contract was let
for the bridge, that it was an UNI
wise movement, as far as the
county was concerned. The old
board Of county commissioners
let the contract for the new
bridge and the new board must
carry it out. Bridges across the
Clearwater, at Greer and the
North Fork at Ahsahka, were adj
vocated in the resolutions adop-
ted by a democratic convention
that met in Orofino, May IA, 1912,
and the board Of commissioners
took it for granted, that one
bridge instead Of two, would be
more acceptable to the taxpayers,
and if it was good logic to build a
bridge at Greer. and another at
Ahsahka, it was better logic to
build but one, at Orofino, where
the traffic is equal to that Of
Greer and Ahsahka together
Had bridges been built at Greer
and Ahsahka, and none at Oro-
fino, it is quite likely that much
that has been said about the Orc
fino section of the county getting
it all, would never have been
heard.
In matters of concern to the
whole county, all prejudices
should be laid aside, and each
subject considered on its owr
merit. Now let us get together
on this matter, and see if this
county can not pull together fol
once. It will be worth much to
the county if the friction between
the various sections can be elm
mated, and harmony established

Some of our people object to
the proposed issue of court house
bonds, on the ground that the
amount asked for by the county
board, is insufficient to build a
court house suitable for this
county. They say that $4,000
is too little to spend for such an
Improvement. We can not agree
with such a proposition. We be-
lieve that the sum asked will be
ample to erect a building suitable
for this county for many years to
come. It is not expected that the
issue of bonds will complete the
building and furnish the Jail, ETC.,
in every particular, but the sum
of $1,000 has already been set
aside by the board for jail con-
struction during the present year,
and this will be ample to provide
all of the room, etc., that will be
needed for jail purposes. Though
the county board has done much
that is deserving of censure, lit
should be commended for the de-
termination to not go in for an ex-

 President Paine on the Stand.
 John A. Paine, Danielson, president of the bank, followed MT. Langdon on the witness stand. Mr. Paine said he had been president for ten years and a director previous to that time. Asked as to his duties he said principally in connection with placing real estate loans. President Paine was asked by Attorney Cunning if he had read the charter of the Wjudham County Saw ings bank. Mir Paine replied that he could not remember that he had. Do you know that it provides that any man who is an officer or director shall not be a borrower or surety for a borrower 2' asked the attorney. ''or that the president of the bank shall not be entitled to compensation for his services" MT. Paine said he did not know. A question arose here as to a statute being in force in Connect icut allowing a bank president, say ings to receive pay for his service the attorneys for the bank Contending they so understood MT. Paine said he had been receiving $200 a year as president for several years.
 For whose benefit was the $2600 loan to Byron D. Starkweather made in 1901 9" asked the attorney T do not remember" replied MT. Paine.
 Did you know that at times the bank has not had sufficient money to pay dividends declared? ?" inquired Mir Dunning. T believed we always had, !" MT Paine replied.

cated a willingness to meet part way those who left the party a year age to follow Colonel Roosevelt and who wished to return. The question was one that agitated the republican na- tional convention in 1912 and the del egates who favored Theodore Roose- welt at Chicago urged a change in the party rules similar, in principle, to that advocated today. The declaration adopted by the resolutions committee after stormy session was as follows;

System of Transfers.


 MT. Young then explained the bank g system of making transfers, these transactions being recorded on slips, not on the hCOks of the bank. MT. Young insisted that he could not re- member as 10 the particular transac- tions in question. Your memory for a banker seems to be very short" was Attorney Wells comment.
 Attorney V els then asked the wit ness about another series of deposits to his account, all during 1910 and aSgregating an amount in excess of 51,000, and as to why they were trans ferred to other accounts on the same day. Mir. Young replied that he was in the insurance business at that time and was using his account for checking purposes, so lie could not remember the transactions in question. Can you offer any explanation of the trans fers 2' asked Mir. Wells. T cant think of any" was the reply.
 This line of questioning was cOntin- ued by the attorney relative to another account of MT. Young and relative to an account of bis father. c. c. YOune in which various deposits and with drawals We're recorded for a total in excess of $1.000 for a calendar year.
 Questioned as to Theory.
 What is your theory in connection with this line of questioning relative to deposits and transfers on these ac- cOunts?' asked Judge Henney, counsel for the bank
 How It Was Managed.
 My theory is that when deposftors wanted to put more than $1 .000 in one ear in the bank the amounts were accepted and the balance above $1 GOO put on deposit in the name of some officer or director" replied Attorney Wells. "The accounts of nearly all of the officers and directors show de- posits in excess of $1.000 in a year"
 The Matter of Dividends.
 The investigation of whether the bank ever paid dividends that it had not earned a the time they were de- Clared was next taken up by Attorney Wells, contrary to section 3440 of the general statutes. Has the bank paid dividends in excess of earnings for the previous six months. more or less continuously 9" asked the attorney. Not to my knowledge" replied Treasurer Young
 A lengthy discussion of whether O1, not the bank had done so followed. the attorneys for the bank commissioners claiming that this had been done and that dividends in excess of earnings and to total amount of S4279 for a period of ten years had been paid. Fx- ceptiOn was taken to this by the attor- neys for the bank, they claiming that the dividends were not charged off until after the money had been re- ceived by the bank.

UNEXPECTED AGREEMENT IN
 DANIELSON BANK MATTER
(continued from Page Nine.)
Excessive Leans Clainea.

Among the excessive loans C Q med by Attorney Wells were the following: On the Hines mill property at East kilingly sold to Charles, David and Cassius Chase $11000. the sale price being $1I,000: on lot in New Haven sold to Francis K Bertram for S700 = 1904 and a mortgage loan of $500 9iV- en on the property on same day of the sale: on a house in Hartford sold to Lizzie C. Carroll in 1907 for $3,400, and a mortgage iOan of $2, 500 made on the property the same day Several other similar loans were referred to by At torney Wells
 Excessive Deposits
 The next line of questioning taken up by Attorney Wells was relative to the bank receiving excessive deposits from one person during a single year, contrary to statutory limitation, $I000 a year in the case of the Windham County Savings bank.
 Attorney Wells questioned the wit ness, Earl NJ Young. as to the unusual number of anJ amounts of entries in his account during the year 1910. one of these being of $1,O00 the other de- pOsits in that wear amounting to more than that sum- Attorney Wells in quiTed of MT. Young if that account had been used for receiving deposits that could not be received for other aC- counts on account of the limitation of $1;000 a year and these deposits later transferred to other accounts Mr. Young replied that he could not re- member.

Pretty Race for
 The Grand Piano

The prettiest race that was ever run in Carroll county is right now in progress among the half dozen young lady contestants for that Grand Piano, offered as a premium for votes secured on cash paid in at the stores of the Green Forest Hardware Co.,, Len Reynolds grocery, Shaffer's drug store, Seitz Mercantile Co.'S. and at The Tribune office.
 The contest will close on the evening of Dec. 24 and the indications are that no one of the leading six and possibly seven, will cease to fight for the g.. n prize and the honor until the last vote is counted. The fact that The Tribune has offered liberal cash commission on all subscriptions collected by the contestants, has made it an attractive proposition to all the contestants to stay in, for they will be compensated for the effort regardless of who wins the grand prize. You have never talked with candidate for an office that is more confident of winning than is Jewel Dillon, Waltie Lamb, Winnie Braswell, Kate Stevens, Jessie Patty and Attic Harbert. Each one has an array of friends and workers that are alive to the interests of their favorites at all times.
 The Tribune can hold out no special encouragement to either of the contest ants. It looks like case where the official count will be the only thing that will determine the result of this very important "election. <"
