HIGHWAY DISTRICT
ELECTION TUESDAY

On next Tuesday taxpayers repre-
senting three-fourths of the taxable
property on the county and two thirds
of it's area will be called upon to vote
on the question of whether or not
there shall be created a highway dis
trict, notice of which, giving descrip-
ton and other information, appears
in this issue of the Press.
The law authorizing the creation of
highway districts is comparatively
new in this state, and the first dis
tricts created under it are but Just
getting well under way, but the benefit
of such law is apparent from the ex-
periences of our neighbors. 1t gives
to those people who are in need of
good roads and are willing to foot the
bills the power to go ahead in their
own locality without regard to what
other sections more favorably situated
may do in the matter.
The highway district is not a poll
teal unit. 1t is governed by COM
mission which is named in the first in
stance by the governor of the state
and at the expiration of the first term
by election OF the people. The COM
missioners of a highway district re-
ceive no pay or remuneration of what
ever nature except the actual expense
that may be incurred in the perform
ance of their duties. There are two
pay positions in a highway district;

the secretary and the director of high
ways each draw some remuneration
for their services, and these officials
together with the commissioners must
meet once each month to look after
the business of the district
In the district which it is proposed
to create there are some unusually
bad roads, and if the district is Great
ed thse can be put in first class con-
dition without any great burden of
expense upon the taxpayer The
territory comprising the district in
cludes nearly three-fourths of the tax
valuation of the county, and of that
the public utilities represents more
than one-half.
The limit of taxation is fixed by law
at s1.O0 on each $4,000 of valuation
for roads and 25 cents on the $4,000
for bridges, and more than that
amount cannot be raised by taxation
in any one year. In order to bond the
district an election must be held and
the proposition approved by the peo-
pie.
There is only one voting place for
the election Tuesday, in the Odd Fell
lows hall in this city.
If the election carries and the dis
trict is created, we viii be enabled TO
secure the state highway the entire
length of the county. and also it will
be made possible to fix up the roads
in all parts of the district.

Umpire Had a Hard Day.

Umpiring a ball game is a hard
job at any time and the game yester1
day was a particularly stormy one for
his Jumps" He got in wrong in the
second inning when he called an
American Falls player safe at first.
The out would have retired the
side without a score. However, they
got busy and with the assistance OF
a few errors, a few hits, ETC., put
four runs across the pan-enough
to win the game.
The fans were after the umpire
from this time on and made life
miserable for him. Several hundred
dollars was wagered on the result
and as the game was protested, all
bets were declared off.
The above items probably are a
truthful reflection of the game as
viewed by the good people of Black
foot, but to the American Falls people
it looked entirely different. Except
for the most radical our people feel
that the game would have been a good
clean exhibition had it not been for the
fact that a bunch of Blackfoot sports
were looking for easy money and gol
up a few hundred dollars on the re-
suit, and when they saw their money
slipping did about everything in theil
power to start a row that would breal
up the game. Failing in that they
pulled off something that has probabl,
never before been heard of in organi
zed baseball. They stated to the um
pire that they would protest the gam'
and asked to have all bets declared
off, which was done. Nobody seems t.
know how the umpire got any author
ity to take such action, nor has any
one here received definite knowledge
that the game was or is protested.
The record of the game will not bea
out the assertion that the Blackfoo
team outplayed our huskies, but ol
the other hand it will show that tn
# American Falls team is the stronge
as also will the past performances o
u the teams However, quarreling abou
n the relative strength of the teams vii
n not get us anywhere. The people o
4 this community are satisfied with tn
Showing our team is making, an
q even If they lose few games the um
\ pires will not be blamed with givin
us the worst of it.
