THE ACTION OF GOV. WEST.

In order to suppress a deporable
state of affairs at Copperheld, Ore
gon, Governor West has resorted to
the most extraordinary means. He
has taken possession of the town by
military force; set aside the civil law
and established martial law; and de-
fed the civil courts These measures
are usually taken only when a state
Of instruction exists against the legal
authorities or where anarchy prevails.
No one contends that such is the con-
dition at Coppcrlield and no one can
uphold the steps taken by Governor
West The suppression Of the sa-
looms of the community cannot call
for the extremities resorted to by the
governor of Oregon, no matter how
desirable their suppression may be.
The Governors course should not go
unrebuked II he can resort to these
means on such provocation as he has
he can resort to them on less provo
cation or upon no provocation at all.
Here in Idaho Governor Steunenberg
and even President Mckinney, were
severely arraigned for resorting col
martial law during the last troubles
in the Occur d Alenes when 1900 men
in riot and the destruc
ton Of property. West Virginia has
just been subjected to a searching in
vestigation by Congress because the
same measures were resorted to dur
ing a great labor strike. If under the
conditions which prevailed in Idaho
and West Virginia martial law was
-epugnant to hundreds OF thousands |
and in the latter case, at least, unjus-
iiable, what can be said in defense OF |
Inc action of Governor West?
Extraordinary powers are vested in
he chief executives of the states to be
ised only in emergencies. When
hey are used on occasions like the
Ibove mentioned the action becomes
most reprehensible. The people OF
Oregon should show their disapproval
u the actions of Governor West in the
most forceful way in which they can,
ME suppression of the civil law should
lot pass without vigorous protest on
he part of all good, law-abiding cit
zens.

THE LAW DOES NOT APPLY.

A man in Portland the other day,
after walking the streets in hunt
for work, and going two days with
out bite to eat. went into restaur-
ant with half dozen other unlucky
ones i'll the same fix, ordered meal
ate it. and then the crowd walked
out without paying the owner of the
place a cent. Naturally the crowd
was arrested, The ringleader told
his story in court. which took the case
under advisement. A question of
ethics, somewhat difficult to decide,
comes up here. Just how long a man
may be expected to go without food
before he breaks the law may be
debatable, proposition, but ordinary
common sense and the dictates of hui
mainly acQuits the offender in this
case. Most of our laws were made
tor folk with well-fed stomachs and
warm Observation-Disclosures Call.
The people will be pleased to know
that our laws were made for folk
with well-fed stomachs and warm
hearthstones. 1t will be a great
consolation to the people at the pres
ent time and during The next three
years, \ great many underfed folk
with cold hearthstones will feel re-
iteved. We trust that the Call will
take time to so inform the police.

THAT DELINQUENT TAX LIST
AGAIN.

We feel sure that the taxpayers OF
the county are sick and tired of hear
ing of the delinquent tax list. We re-
fer to it once again in order 10 do
simple justice to Tax Collector Monk.
1t will be remembered that the Nam.
pa Record justified its little graft by
saying that Mr.. Monk was behind
with his copy. We give the reader
the simple facts. On August 5 Mr..
Monk wrote the Nampa Record as fol-
lows
AS you have a contract with the
Board of County Commissioners for
the publication of Commis sioners
proceedings, legal notices, etc, at a
special rate. we are preparing to turn
the delinquent list of taxes to you in
a few days.
AS the job is large one we pre-
sumo that you would like to make
some arrangements for handling the
work and we would like to hear from
you at an early date
Mr.. Monk received no reply to this
letter. On August II Mr.. Monk tel
ephoned the Record in regard to
the printing OF the tax list. The
Record promised to send for the copy
the next day. 1t did not do so. On
August Is Mr.. Monk again telephoned
70 the Record and on the 10Th they
,dme up and got the copy,
The delay according to the Record
JUSTIFIED them in charging the tax
payers of Canyon county $l7045 more
han the contract price of the work.
there any wonder that taxes are
nigh when board of county commis- |
toner's will allow Such Gains without

1NcREDULoUS SALLY.

Sally says there are no fairies;
Sally lives in town,
Sally has a white face.
My face is brown;
People in the town are clever,
Country folk are slow.
Sally don't believe in fairies
Townspeople know.
Sally says if flowers were growing
Where the children play,
Harebells on the hillside,
Red peoples gay.
Daisies white in greenest meadows,
Buttercups of gold,-
They'd be tied in penny punches
And quickly sold.
Sally says there are no linnets
Singing on the tree,
Cages are for song birds,
Not liberty;
All a pack o country nonsense
Skylarks on the wing
Sally says we have no music,
Town birds can sing.
Sally says the wind don't whisper
Stories of delight,
Wonder-tale of old-time,
Goblin and sprite;
Never hint of wreck and iceburg
Comes on winter gust;
Sally says the wind just freezes
Or chokes with dust.
Sally don't believe in fairies,
Sally lives in town,
Sally has white face,
My face is brown
People in the town are clever,
Country folk are Slow

WE WANT SOMETHING Def
MITE.

Rigid Economy "Carefulness in
Expenditure and Business Admin
istration" have become a mockery to
the taxpayers, The candidates who
will be elected to till public office at
the next election must have some
thing definite TO submit to the people
They will want to know where and
when rigid economy" is to be prac-
tced, The generality will not do.
This we believe is the sentiment of
the taxpayers of the state of Idaho
preparatory 10 the annunciation of
candidates the taxpayers should thor
oughly investigate their county, mum
lclpal and school affairs in order that
they too may know where economy
may be praeticed without detriment
10 their welfare. 1he Tribune would

hairs OF that unit thoroughly and |
Systematically. These committees
ouid submit reports TO mass meet

With the endorsement of tire people
you'd be the foundation for the plat,
orm OF the taxpayers at the next
lection. When a candidate present
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1914-01-09

ed himself for office he would have
before him lhe estimate which the peo-
/ pie expected him to keep within. Any
candidate who would not pledge him
self to keep his expenditures within
the estimate could be and should be
defeated at the polls. The members
OF these committees should be men OF
good judgment and sound sense in
order that they would not propose es-
Inmates within which it would be i'm
possible for the official to keep. By
doing this at this time partisanship
would not enter in and all candidates
OF all parties would have fair and
equal chance to thoroughly familiar
ize themselves with the Office they
sought and the conditions which
they would have TO meet
We are convinced that saving OF
several hundred dollars could be made
in our city government; probably as
much in our schools and certainly
more in the county. There is no
reason under the sun why the offices
of chief of police and superintendent
OF streets could not be filled by the
same man. There is no reason why
by a proper distribution of functions
one man might be entirey eliminated
at the city hall, and we would still
have one or two too many there.
At present the city employs a superin-
tendent OF water works at $1,000 per
month; a man to sleep at the pump
house and make himself useful when
presents itself at 10000
per month; a man to sleep at the fire
station at the city hall to be handy
at $4,000 per month; a man to read
etc. at 10000 per month.
Now it strikes us that by proper dis
tribution of this work at least one of
those men could be entirely eliminated
from the pay roll
The above facts are given just to
illustrate the method in which one de- |
partment in the city government is
conducted. The committee appoint
ed to ook into affairs at the city hall
could point definite and particular
economies to be practiced.
If in the county one officer can re-
iuce his force 80 l-3 per cent, there
IS no reason why other officers cannot
make some reduction. One trouble
IS that public office has become sin
ecure. Officials get to their Offices at
nine or half past, take a couple of
hours for lunch and quit at five in
he evening. They receive good
wages and should be able to put in
he same hours as business and o.
ice men. Should all of them do this
here would not be the same occas-
on for the Office forces now main
