GET YOUR TAX MONEY READY

If ever fool killer was needed in
Idaho it was during the session OF the
late unlamented legislature. The adj
ding of per cent penalty to the un-
paid last half of the taxes was an out
rage, and now it has been discovered
that personal taxes must be collected
at the time of assessment where the
person does not own real estate. This
forces the poor man to pay taxes twice
within period of three months while
his weather. neighbor can pay his taxes
in two payments six months apart. OF
course it was the intention of the So
Ions to prevent the loss Of personal tax
money to the counties Of the state, but
a more reasonable law could have been
enacted as a safeguard. As it is no
man, or company Of men, coming under
this classification will know what
amount of personal tax they are to pay
until the assessor appears on the scene
and demands the money from them.
The only remedy seems to be to begin
to save now for the coming of the tax
gatherer.

The above shows that Mr.. Zelenka
is not guilty; that Jim Blake did not sell
the county few pounds Of old junk
labeled 'typewriters" at two prices,
Ind that Mr.. Zelenka has not sold the
county foot Of lumber, and that he
don't know anything about bohunks,
and that no matter how little interest
the people are getting from John P.
Yollmer for the use Of their county
funds, they are getting more than they
have any right to expect as long as the
present gang runs the county.
The Republican now sees where it is
Frong. We can now see that it was a
hig mistake to make SO much fuss over
ew minor matters Of no importance,
d that Mr.. Zelenka was right when
said the Republican is not a reliable
ewspaper.
Last week we asked Mr.. Zelenka to
band up. It made him tired. Now let
i'm IT down. Having answered every
Question, as shown above, a little
est will do him good.

If drinking booze and gettingudrunk
were cause fo~ removal from office,
the enforcement of the law would
cause more than one vacancy around
the Clearwater county court house. II
it takes thief to catch thief, why
should bootlegger mot catch a boot
logger? And If SO what lot OF grief
would befall the booze peddlers in this
place. Gang rule, booze and graft are
the triplets that are apparently running
Clearwater county.
Orofino is located on an Indian res
ervation, yet the U. S. officers, whose
business it is to enforce federal laws,
are apparently not on the job. With
state and county laws, including
search and seizure law, and statute
that holds the owner Of building re-
sponsible for any violation of the liquor
laws in his property, nothin e is done.
Nor is it the business Of private citi-
zens to play the part Of detective. The
law says the sheriff shall, wnere there
is reason to believe law is being vio-
lated, diligently search out and appre-
bend violators. For example, suppose
farmer at Gilbert, going to his barn in
the morning, finds team, worth $500,
stolen. What would you think it the
sheriff should, when notified, say: "All
right. When you have the thief To-
Gated, and the evidence, and can prove
the crime, let me know and | will swear
out warrant and arrest the thief"
A bootlegger is no better than horse
thief. Both are terminals. Both are
bad citizens. Both deserve to be pun
ished. It is just as much the business
of the officers to 90 after one as the
other, and if horse thieves were as
thick and as active in this county as are
the bootleggers there would certainly
be an awful howl if there was not an
effort made to enforce the law. 1t is
certainly somebody's business to get
busy.

ONE WAY TO HELP,

The best way to show that you are in
sympathy with the efforts being put
forth by the Republican to clean up
Clearwater county politics is to help
make it possible to run the paper.
Just remember that the Republican is
dependent absolutely on the people OF
this county for its existence. II you
do not pay promptly for your paper re-
member that you are only adding to
the burdens the editor must carry, for,
there is no profit in giving the people
paper like the Republican for the mere
trifle Of two cents, or little less, per
copy. II you are in arrears you are
simply borrowing that much from the
publisher. The Republican needs
your assistance, and appreciates it.
By helping to increase our subscrip-
ton list you are doing lot to encour-
age and to help. Many are getting a
neighbor to subscribe. Everybody
could get at least one new one. And
that would give the Republican the
largest circulation in the Clearwater
valley. If you want the people to see
the things the Republican is publishing
help get the paper into the hands Of
the people. If youEexpect the Repub-
lican to stand for the people, stand by
the Republican. Help us get one hun
dred new subscribers during February.
Help make the circulation 1000 by the
first of May. If every subscriber will
just get one, twill .lbe 1880. A sub
scriber at Pierce has sent in more than
dozen. One man at Teakean sent
five in one day. Many have sent in
single subscriptiont.s All told, more
than 200 have been added in the eight
weeks windy Pete" has been running
the Republican. By the help of the
people it will never again be possible
for the Blake gang to excuse printing
graft on the pretex that the Republi.
can lacks circulation. We have not
the least doubt, judging from what
the people have done, that the people
are going to take care of the circula.
ton Of the Republican, leaving WINDY
Pete" every spare minute OF his time
to dig up interesting facts from the
county records.
And permit us to thank all oul
friends for the interest and effort al
ready shown in the Republican. W.
cannot thank you personally.

COUNTY BUSINESS

According to the Moscow Daily Star
Mirror, the Latah county board will
devote week to determine the best
and lowest bid for road culvert, there
|being large number Of bids, the firm
LOT Olson 4 johnson, Of Troy, a home
concern, being one Of the bidders. The
contract win 60 to the firm that really
makes the best bid, regardless Of poll
PICS. Since the people Of Latah county
have been running their own business,
in electing county commissioners who
really work for the taxpayers, there
has been 4 saving Of over 1850 per car
on road culverts alone. Here is soHe-
thing for the people Of Clearwater
county to think about. How was it
done? BY electing, honest, competent
men, sometimes democrats, sometimes
republicans, and sometimes q mixed
board, that cut out graft, making all
bidding open to all who cared to enter,
and awarding contracts on the square.
/ Under Blake gang misrule lin Clear
water county, honest competition has
never been permitted, an Orofino firm
being denied the right to bid on culYert
pipe, according to a statement made
recently to the Republican.
Il Without hesitation or reservation the
Clearwater Republican wants 10 60 on
record as saying that in its opinion,
based on what the editor knows exists
in Latah county, Clearwater county
business is run in a manner that is
nothing short Of an outrage against the
taxpayers Of the county, for in nothing
il there evidence Of any business meth
DDS or even common sense. Things
here are done in q manner always used
where graft exists, and if Clearwater
county is not in the hands OF 9rafters,
and the people are not being robbed,
the straws are flying in the face lof a
hurricane.

Do Dairy Cows Pay?

Ferdinand Enterprise; j. w. Willis
was in town Saturday from his farm
west Of otown and informed us that he
is shipping an average of so pounds of
cream each month, to the Westlake
Market at Seattle. He showed his last
check received for ten gallon can Of
cream which melted him $15.17 for the
can, or better than $3.50 a gallon. The
price received was AZ cents a pound
for the cream, that showed test bet
ter than 38. This from twelve cows of
which four are heifers and what are
called shippers. Mr.. Willis cows are
said to be above the average cows US
ually found on the farm, and demon
strates what may be done if more at
tention was gwen toward building up
the dairy qualities of the farm cow.

COW. All connected with it, from re-
gents down, are seeking to know what
is best for the health lind wellbeing OF
mankind, and to make such knowledge
known to all our people. This know
ledge can be had free by all who attend
the Agricultural college, and great
deal Of it can be had from bulletins
issued by the college from time to time,
and sent free to all who ask for them.

OUR AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Those who attended the Farmers
Short Course at the Idaho agricultural
college at Moscow, give great praise for
the instruction and Information re-.
ceived. The people Of the state have
2 good opportunity to learn how to pro-
duce the best crops Of grain, veget-
ebies, fruits and domestic animals, and
how to care for and get the best results
from machinery. Above all, the people,
through their agricultural college, can
learn how to best feed, clothe and care
Tor human beings.
When we reflect on the fact that one
third OF the human family die before
seven years OF age, and that there is al
ways vast deal Of illness among peo-
pie, we are appalled,. It is known that
this appalling mortality and illness are
due largely to improper food and drink.
In the problem OF life and health what
we eat and drink are OF greatest impor-
lance. whether we eat too much of
some things and starve for want of 9TH
ers, are OF great importance. Whether
our oat meal is cooked one hour or three
hours may make the difference be-
tween poor and good digestion.
whether our meats are cooked at high
temperature Tor short time, or at a
low temperature for long time, NAV
mean tine difference to us between poor
and good nutrition. Whether we eat
much bread and little meat or much
meat and little bread, may mean
whether or not we shall have rheuma-
tism and bright's disease.
There has been some criticism OF 40.
ricultural colleges that they give too
much Of their attention to plants and
domestic animals, and not enough at.
tention to the health and wellbeinQ OF
the human family. This criticism can.
not be made against the college at Mos.

Marine Monsters That Are Known ~
Whale Killers.
There really is such a sea monster
- the whale killer 1t Is one Of the
largest and most ferocious Of all the
dolphin family. II also is known as
the grampus. It is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid Of beak
The back fin is Of great length, espe-
cially in the males, and the clippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
IN number. varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than In any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
In diameter and having an oval sec
ton. The coloration is striking the
upper parts and fms being black, while
The lower Jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area Of the under parts
does not, however. extend 70 the fukes,
out ends posteriorly in a trident, OF
which the lateral and shorter prOngs
extend obllquely upward on the tanks.
There is a large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least a purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attalns a length Of ut least TWEEN
ty feet.-St Louis Timea

To Abolish
Special Fund

Adjustment of the special
fund allowed to the state fish and
game department, made up of
fees collected by that department,
will be advocated before the next
legislature on the grounds that
the fish and game department
should be placed on a footing like
all other state departments in
that the fees it collects should be
turned into the general funds of
the state for state revenues and
it should be given an appropria-
ton by the legislature to support
the department during the bien-
NAL. The last report of the
state treasurer shows that there
was a balance in the game fund
on Nov. 30, 1914, of S5349.S7.
The fish and game department
is the only branch of the state
government permitted to have and
to maintain a special fund on
which it can draw for its main
tenance. An effort was made
during the last session of the
legislature to abolish this fund
but failed. The legislature was
at that time considering the abol-
ishment of other special funds
carried by the state departments.
.Sportsmen entered a strong pro-
test against the transfer of the
fees of the game department in
to the general funds of the state
on the grounds that if this action
was taken it would work great in
Jury to the department.
The legislature proceeded ia
abolish the special funds of the
dairy, food and sanitary and the
horticultural departments ant
those special funds have ceased
o exist during the past two years
In lieu of these funds both de-
partments were given a straight
appropriation by the legislature
lIhe change was made because o.
the general belief existing tina
where special funds are create,
! and controlld by departments
there is an inclination to spen,
, more money for department mail
tenance than if the fees of de
partments were not accessible
!. but instead went into the genera
funds of the state and the legis
lature appropriated the mainten
e aEce funds for each department
