A Comparison of Reports from
the Sheriff's Office

During the term of w. II. Thorp
Democratic sheriff of Canyon county
in 1907 and 1908, report of the first
quarter of 1908, he reports as follows:
Amount collected S628.05, and expend-
ed the sum of $56l.95, or SO per cent
of the total amount collected, turning
into the treasury of the county $66.l0.
While for corresponding quarters
report under the present sheriff fees
70 the amount of $2149.65 were col
lected, and the amount out of that
expended was S1l288S, or 81 per cent,
leaving balance Of S1020.77, which
was turned into the treasury Of the
county. "cAN YOU BEAT IT."
A certain Democratic paper has
made the statement that Sheriff Bre-
shears reports are "bumcombe," with
out having the courtesy to make any
explanation. He wants you TO believe
that all of the expenses of the Office
were not paid. OF course, there are
many items which are charged to the
sheriff, but paid by the county COM
missioners, over which the sheriff has
no control, and take this opportunity
to show the following items that are
charged to the office, together with
the figures Of the cost of all expenses,
for the year April, 1913, to April,
1914:
sheriff's office, s57S4.2S- For SAL
aries Of sheriff, deputies and specials,
livery and telephones.
District court, s6774.s4-For wit /
nesses, jurors, bailiff, special attor-
neys.
Court house and grounds, S3263.7l I
For floor dressing and brooms, coal
and wood, paint and tinting, soap and
toilet supplies, laundry, lights, ice
and water Getty and irrigationl, re-
pairs, taxes, insurance and miscellan-
eous, janitor.
Jail, Ssl6.44- For food, such as
groceries, meat and milk, soap, bed
ding, clothing, plumbing.
And allow me to state further that
all reports were made in compliance
with the requirements Of the law and
were just the same as every other
sheriff ever made, and yet the balance
has far exceeded that of any other
sheriff $4500.63 in q months, which
went into the county treasury.

he has been practicing law in the of
flee of John C. Rice of Caldwell. Mr..

yon county that he will not appoint a

ing to the taxpayers from $500 to
$1,000 year. He proposes to handle
the work of truant officer through his
Office, the school superintendent, coun-
ty attorney, sheriff's Office and the
local officers. The work of the probate
judges Office is of such nature that
it should be filled by an attorney at
law. What the public demands is eff
ficiency and ability to make good,
sound Judgment, together with ability
to dispose of the legal questions pre-
sented Frank Meek possesses these
qualifications to marked degree,
which accounts for the magnificent
support he is receiving from his pro-
fessional friends. A vote for Frank !

". A. Stone for County Attorney.

The Office of prosecuting attorney
is one of the utmost Importance to
the people of our county. As the le-
gal advisor of the commissioners and
other county officers, in prosecuting
and defending on behalf of the county
in all civil actions and as the prose-
cutor for violations of the penal stat
utes, the proper performance of such
duties requires the service of a lawyer
of ability and experience. Court pro-
ceedings are expensive, and especially
in criminal cases where the law pro-
vides that the costs and witness fees
of both plaintiff and defendant shall
be paid by the county, and it becomes
highly important that sound judgment
be used, especially in the commence
ment of criminal prosecution. William
A. Stone, the Republican nominee for
prosecuting attorney, has been en-
gagged in the active practice of the
law in this county for Ia years. Be-
fore coming to Idaho he was twice
elected as states attorney in his ma
tive county in Iowa. His practice has
been large and varied and through
sheer force Of ability he has won the
reputation which places him in the
first division of the really successful
lawyers of Idaho. If elected to the
position which he seeks, Mr.. Stone
will enter upon the duties of his office
equipped with an experience Of ~
years in the active practice of his pro-
fession. There is no phase Of the du-
ties of prosecuting attorney which
he does not fully understand and with
his ripe experience in the trial of
criminal cases, and his admitted abil-
ity as an advocate, the people of Cam
yon county have guaranty that their
legal affairs win be in safe and ca
pable hands.

MIR. TAXPAYER

We have submitted to you facts and
figures which show concluslvely that
the taxes for the ensuing year which
have been levied by our county admin
istration, will be very materially lower.
Some of our political opponents have
said we could not administer our coun-
ty affairs upon the amount of money
which will be raised by our present
levy. To show you that we have pro-
vided for enough to take care Of all
these expenses for which levy has been
made, based on experiences OF the past
two years, which prove absolutely the
source of the revenue and that have noton provd
ed sufficient funds but have provided for Surplus to
take care unforeseen expenses which may arise The
total of which, Surplus and the amount required by The
offices made up according the law, amounts to
money than the total county for the past
year. We submit also the figures showing how all our
Indebtedness bond otherwise will be absolutely taken
of provided by law which will mature up to De-
cember l. 1915. We believe when you read thesefgues,
along with other statements which have been previously
submitted that you will agree that the voter who does
not vote the straight Republican Ticket November 3,
will make mistake.

DEPARTMENT PUTS OUT TWO
SMALL BLAZES SATURDAY

The fire laddies responded to two
calls Saturday. The first was at 1855
o'clock in the afternoon to the Sc
cond hand store of Isaac Fiegenholtz,
251S Fifth avenue, where the flames
did damage amounting to 500. The
blaze started under the floor and
worked up into the partition and the
firemen were forced to chop through
the floor to get to the flames. There
is no cellar in the building and how
the flames started is a mystery.
At 10 o'clock Saturday night the de-
partment was called to extinguish a
fire at ST. Joseph's parochial school
on Second avenue and Thirteenth
street. The fire started in a trunk
containing the effects of one of the
members of the teaching staff, pre-
sumbIy from spontaneous combustion.
The loss will reach $50.
