THE REMEDY

THE REMEDY
It is easy to find fault, but to tel
how thing should be done is not 81
easy. This is fact. It is true a.
regards county fair: The Republi
can has . suggestion as I'd a remedy
for the present trouble.
I. r. Crow should make his report
Immediately and then resign. No,
because it is Mr.. Crow, but because
the people have no confidenc nee in Mr.,
Grow. He has been tried and found
wanting. AS secretary Mr.. Crow il
= failure. He has made mess oil
the work, and unless something il
done at once to straighten UP the bust.
ness the county fair is ruined for next
year. As it stands now the farmers
will not exhibit next fall. This is
the statement of some of the farmers
who have made the fair whatever sue
cess it has been.
Therefore Mr.. Crow should resign.
# he does not then there will be no
hope Of Strengthening up matters and
getting the people to do anything in
the way Of compromising and settling.
Call the annual meeting and elect
q board Of directors for 1915.
Elect a new secretary. Select a
man who will attend to the work;
who will make prompt reports, and
who will not presume to act as secre-
tary, treasurer, board Of directors,
manager, and fill all the committees.
The secretary should not be director,
and should not pay out funds without
the order of the board.
Everything should be open and
above board. The business should be
done publicly.
The Republican has no fault to find
with the fact that the association in
CURED indebtedness to erect a per-
nanent building. This was done to
start in Latah county. We believe
it was the proper thing to do. We
would urged the new board to do all
in its power to liquidate whatever is
due the Nebaho Lumber Company for
material, and believe Mr.. Zelenka
will meet the association half way.
There seems to be an impression that
the. Republican is Directing to the
payment of material bought from Mr..
zelenka. We approve the buying of
this material; we think it was good
business, and would oppose any effort
to repudiate the debt.
There is yet money to collect, ac-
cording to Manager LaForest. There
is enough to come somewhere near
Strengthening up the debts. But not
= penny will be Forthcoming until /.
Il. Crow resigns. Nobody will pay
in a penny to be turred pver to 1. R.
Grow.
Then, people who have premiums due
are anxious to build up fair. They
want fair ground. They are pleas
cd with the new buildings, and many,
perhaps most of the exhibitors will,
if Mr.. Crow gets cut Of the way, meet
the directors more than half way in
settling their accounts. We have
talked with several who have express
ed willingness, if Cow is out of
the way, to donate most Or all of their
premiums, leaving the greater part of
the funds to be used to pay Mr.. Ze-
lenka for his lumber, nd other ma
terial bills.
The directors should call public
at once. l. r. Crow should
be compelled to report ard resign.
All who have premiums due should be
invited to attend and the business
closed up in manner satisfactory to
the exhibitors. Those who want
their money should be paid even if
the directors must borrow funds to do
this.
Mr.. Crows printing bills are not
preferred claims. He ID no more en-
Titled to dig in and help himself than
he's farmer who won ten dollars in
premiums on corn or some other ex-
hibit. Mr.. Grow has no right under
he bylaws to pay out penny ex-
