Cost Of the Election.

The following letter by A. Cook,
the we'll known manager OF the Pan
handle Abstract company. appeared
In q recent issue of the Occur d,Alene
Press:
Editor Press Will you be kind
enough to allow me a little OF your
valuable space In which to reply 10
some Of your editorials which l call
misleading and a misrepresentat tion
Of the facts. You are continually
stating that the local option election
will cost the county $4,000. Now,
let US see whether this will figure out
correctly; there are Al precincts In the
county, and each precinct has for its
election board three judges, two
clerks and constable, making six
persons under pay; the judges and
clerks get 81 per day and the cbnsta-
bles So per day, but for fear we might
neglect to figure some detail let US
figure all at 81 per day; 264 persons
at 81 will equal $l056, then there are
about IL precincts that are allowed a
set Of extra judges and clerks, max
ing go persons more at 81, which Is
$240. The officers 10 some precincts
will probably be allowed one day and
some two days, hut we will call them
all two days, doubling the above
amounts We have $2592. Then the
printing Of ballots and other election
supplies and distributing to the
different precincts we will estimate
at $500. We do not think 1t will
exceed this amount, which gives US a
total of $3092. The registration
should not be figured In this for the
reason that it is necessary to register
for the primary and general election
the coming summer and fall. Now.
$3O92 Is the approximate expense for
the election on March IL, aud as
there is bond election called for the
same day, one half Of this expense
should be charged up to that election.
thus leaving only $l546 chargeable to
the local option election.
Your editorials on higher taxes are
just as Inconsistent as your editorials
on cost Of elections. Latah county
has been ''dry" for number OF years;
compare its taxes with Kootenai, or
compare the taxes Of any Of the "dry"
counties 10 this state with Kootenai,
or compare. II you will, the taxes Of
Kansas with any OF the ''wet" states
surrounding it, and you will see
whether prohibition makes taxes
high.
In regard to expenses Uf prosecut.
ing the "bootlegging" cases, please
look up the records and note the ex
penses and the Hnes collected In con.
nection Herewith, and then compare
that with murder and other cases
caused by the sale of liquor, and see
which outweighs Ia the balance.
Spokane county has just had a nur-
der trial caused by liquor aud will
probably have to have a new trial OF
the same case, costing the county
thousands Of dollars.

Kenyon voiced the same complaint
in his Philadelphia speech. elf
you hire lawyer you do not want
one who spends every evening in
the week at banquet or dinner,
OF out somewhere else," he said.
"That is what is the matter with
congress. Washington is as
much of "social center" as it is
political headquarters. The socie-
tY stunts are undoubtedly over
done, and common-sense people
like Mrs. La Toilette and Senator
Kenyon find that all of these
functions do not leave proper time
for the real work that is before the
people who are sent to Washing
ton charged with the performance
of great duties.
With Colonel Goethals in Wash
ington "talking it over" with con-
gress, there has been a discussion
in the capital of the possibilities of
his being put forward for the presi-
dency. Goethals is a Republican,
and it is generally supposed that
party needs new leaders. 1t is
said of the canal builder that he is
none Of your imaginary heroes;
and that his popularity is not of
the mushroom sort. All this is in
disputable, yet Goethals begs to
be permitted to "keep out of poll
tics" He promises to have the
Panama Canal under full headway
by July, and says that at the pres
ent time the great work is fully
protected-and that no foreign
enemy could pass the Notifications
at either end of the big ditch.
The house of representatives OF
the United States was so busy that
it failed to observe Washington's
birthday. In the senate, Wash
ington's farewell speech was read
and proper respect was paid to the
memory Of the Father of his Coun-
try Should the industry Of the
lower house of congress result in
winding up the business Of the

Because the United States an
