The proposed Randall county would
get less revenue from a two per cent
levy than Lewis or Idaho county gets
from one per cent levy, or in other
words the people will pay two dollars
for county purposes where they pay
one dollar now, if three counties are
created. This is so clear that any man
can figure it out for himself, and there
is no excuse for being deceived.
Lewis county is paying $3.50 per
month in rent for county buildings at
Nezperce. The Idaho county court
house was gift to the county from
Grangeville.
AS long as Idaho county remains in

State Treasurer Allen who has been
under fire for some time has handed
his resignation to Governor Haines, the
same being unaccepted as yet, and the
treasurer office is temporarily in
charge of Alex Ramstedt, who is a
member of the tax commission. It would
seem that the papers and candidates
who have been attacking Allen and the
state land board are now about to be
vindicated.

The resignation has been in the
hands of Governor Haines prior to
Tuesday when the news got out and it
is reported that Sunday, when the
governor left for the southwest, the
republican stronghold in Idaho, he had
the resignation and gave as his excuse
ior not revealing the fact that he did
not want to make any change in the
ueasurer's office and Thereby "oc-
casion any unnecessary alarm as to the
status of state funds pending the audit
In process" He further guaranteed
70 the people of Idaho that no alarm is
necessary as they are amply protected
and that Allen had told him that he in
Vited the fullest investigation, and "In
other words, Mr.. Allen, in view Of the
suspicion aroused by the circulation Of
political reports covering matters hav-
ing no direct bearing on the treasurer g
office, decided to step out temporarily
az least and give free hand for in
Ves.is ise..vn.''
Resignation Not Accepted.
The resignation of Allen was not ac-
cepted by Governor Haines, as he stat
