IF WE HAD THE NERVE

The Payette Enterprise recently got
off the following which is being gen.
orally published, apparently hitting a
popular chord in the heart of the aver
age American citizen. The Enter
prise says:
The recent invitation to buy bale
of cotton, when we rather imagine if
things keep on going the way they are
that it would be difficult indeed for
US to buy even spool Of cotton, made
our think tank start working along
the line of what one really could do
who had sufficient nerve. Had we
been born with the rid of some peo-
pie we know, here is what you would
read on these pages from week to
week:

Because

posed by democratic majority. The
democrats went into power promising
to reduce the high cost of living.
The cost of living has gone higher.
The democrats, under the leadership
of Mr.. Wilson, condemned the repub-
licans as extravagant, and promised
to abolish useless offices and to run
the government for less. Instead of
keeping this promise the democrats
have created more offices and spent
more money the past two years than
any previous congress ever dared to
attempt. They have created hundreds
of places and filled them with demo-
Gratis who are at the pie counter at
public expense, giving the country
the greatest army Of federal Office
holders in the history of the nation.
This in the face of campaign prom
Use to reduce the cost of government.
And to meet the democratic deficiency
the American people began Oh Tues
day, December 1st., 1914, to pay a
special tax calculated to produce, out
of the pockets of the people, 500, :
600, 900 in one year. The poor man
cam even borrow few dollars with
out paying tax on it.

If there was no European war what
would be the business situation in the
United States today? Would wheat
be worth so cents a bushel? Some
say not. If this country, at time
when we should be prosperous, is at a
standstill, with millions of dollars
pouring in from foreign countries for
American supplies, what would be the
cituation if there was no European
war? On the other hand, has the
war caused suspension of business
throughout the world? What is the
reason business is at a standstill in
the United States? People are not
investing their money; no building is
going on. People are not building
new homes. Money is withdrawn
from the channels of business, and
thousands of idle men are demanding
work. What is the matter? Take
the merchant. He is sticking close
to the shore. Stocks are now run
down, for it is not safe to take
feeling of uncertainty that is always
the undermining element in business.
Business is founded on confidence, and
there is no confidence. Men with
large funds, corporations, do not
know today what laws will be passed
tomorrow, what new system of taxa
ton will be imposed, what new freak
Legislative program will be inaugur-
ated. The people have gone stark
mad for reform. The railroads have
been regulated until they can no
longer do business. Legitimate in
dustry is handicapped and does not
know which way to turn.
Perhaps needed reforms could not
come without abuses creeping in, and
perhaps it is going to take time to
get needed reforms down to a legiti-
mate working basis. That some re-
forms were badly needed no one will
deny, andsif business had to be for a
time upset and confidence for time
ruined, let it be so. But let the
people understand that anything less
than justice to all, rich and poor
alike, will work incalculable injury
to the people, and that the worst
sufferers will be the poor, those who
depend on daily work for their bread
Let us all be cheerful.
! Let US remember that we would
that we had first suffered the clounds
and the rain and the SHOWS of winter.
So it is in human life.

The farmer needs markets. The
best are the home markets that re-
quire no freight charges, and for this
reason the farmer should boost his
home town. The men who own land
near Orofino should do all in their
power to build up the town, to boost
everything that will make the town
grow, and encourage every industry
that will tend to increase the popula-
ton. That is the way to improve the
home market, which is the farmers
business. Sometimes the farmer
kicks when the Orofno mercants can't
buy his produce. But did it ever oc-
cur to the farmer who needs to mar
ket his products in Orofino that the
merchant is limited in his ability to
buy from the farmer by the size of
cannot ship few pounds of surplus
produce to the outside market. Take
butter. This is a product that must
be carefully marketed. The question
of quality has a lot to do with it.
The merchant is limited in his ability
to buy by his ability to sell. And
the demand regulates the price very
largely. If you double the population
of Orofno it will take twice as much
butter to supply the local market, and
the merchants in Orofino can and must
buy twice as much butter. This is
enough to show the farmer why he
should have an interest in his home
town, and why the farmers tributary
to town cannot afford to send their
money out of the country to build up
and improve other cities. 1t is bet
ter to build up Orofino than Chicago.

Grangeville Globe: The public is
waiting with great expectancy and nc
little anxiety, the capture and eject
ment by Gov. Alexander of the FIRST
guy caught by him in the capitol
basement and then the march of de-

expected Mr.. Alexander will then
plug up and Dramatically seal the

The war tax is just plain dem

The war tax is just plain dem
ocratic deficiency tax made necessary
because of unwarranted and unusual
expenditures, much of which is going
as salaries to the increased army of
office holders under Woodrow Wilson s
administration. Over half a million
annually has been added to the salary
increase in the treasury department
alone. The democratic pie brigade
is making up fer lost time. The peo-
pie are footing the bills. Pay your
war tax gentlemen and look pleasant.
Ours is an army of political pie bit

After spending several thousand
dollars for that dirt grade from the
old ferry to the Orofino bridge, the
bloomin road insists on sliding into
the river. Why not stake it down?
Perhaps it would be good thing to
hire two or three hundred men to sit
on it and hold it in place. This would
put money in circulation, and we
could make the timber companies pay
for it.

The farmer who says he has no in
terest in the towns near him shows a
woeful lack of business sense. What
would the man way back from eivili-
cation give to have live town grow
up near his property? The bigger
and better Orofino grows the more it
will be worth to the farmers of this
county.
