Those Democratic aspirants
for political appointment at the

their applications for position
with plans for increasing The Of
hciency of The Office To which they
aspire. and a statement as to
how they propose to effect econ

they propose to reduce the Office
force, need expect nothing, and
those who have resorted to the
endless chain plan of overwhelm-
ing the governor with reccomend-
ations from friends, relatives and
even strangers and non-residents
of the state, are out Of it right
now and need expect nothing at
all unless they desist immediate
ly and stop the endless chain bus
mess.
This is the ultimatum laid
down by the governor-elect in a
statement to the Capital News.
'Those candidates for appoint

ander, 'but on the contrary, if

The governor-eleet explained
that his mail is being simply
overwhelmed with letters Of en-
dorsement of one candidate OF
another from people who arc
writing in accordance with ar
endless chain plan of the candi-
dates. The candidate frs
writes to as many of his friends

ing to the fact he had bid on

overruled and no claim for class
iGed material was allowed.
The lump bid was S53,769
which included all retaining walls
as shown on the plans and the
lump bid without retaining walls
was $4,000. There was a pro-
vision in the contract, however,
that providing the quantities ran

contractor was to be paid at the

the quantities ran under, the con-
tractor was to rebate to the city

Preparing State
Mining Exhibit

Edward Schwerd of Boise, min
eralogist in charge of the state
mineral exhibit that is to be made
at The Panama-P Pacific exposition
is spending some time at pres
ent in North Idaho collecting the
desired ore samples.
Last week two carloads Of ore
left the state for San Francisco
totaling nearly fifty tons in
weight. In the fifty tons is rep
rcsentative aud choice specimens
from practically every district in
The state of Idaho. In connec-
tion with his work Mr.. Schwerd
makes a geological reconnais-
sance Of each district visited al Il
IA brief report on each property
visited.
Speaking of his mission Mr..
Schwerd said:
"This exhibit is being carried
ON along educational and COM
mercial lines. 1t is the inten-
tion Of the commission to show
the world the various ores of the
various districts of the state of
Idaho We aim to show the ores
just as they come from the
mines and also show the inclos-
ing wall-rock with am unbiased
slatement as to the geology, un-
dcrground workings, timber water
and transportation facilities.
while we expect to show the
general ore Of the mine, we will
also show any special large
pieces of enrichment. The pri-
mary idea Of an exhibit along
these lines is TO bring before the
worlds field men the true con-
dilion of your district. You
might have metanurgical prob
lens, ores and cappings that To-
cal people are not familiar with
and i'm which some of these field
men that may look at these eX-
hihits may readily see an oppor-
tunity for them.
"Under these conditions, nat
urally these will visit your dis
hict to look over your prospects
that need development, mines that
need assistance, ores that are
complicated in treatment and in
that way we expect to revive tht
mining industry in the state ot
Idaho. The prospector ane
small mine owner have been COM
planning that they are not abl'
a to get in touch with money to 81

High Taxes Is
Principal Topic
NOTICES RECEIVED SHOW INCREASE
Not Only Is Percentage Higher But Many VaIua-
tiOnS Have Been Increased

The tax notices for the 1911 4
taxes have been arriving in this
city during the past week and as
a consequence taxes have been
the principal topic Of conversa-
tion in the business houses and
on the streets. The subject is
Of such interest that "Have you
received your tax nOtice2" has
become a form of salutation in
stead of the customary Good
Morning."
With the county and state tax
six mills higher this year than
last and the school and city taxes
the same it was generally eX-
pected that taxes would be high
er and the people have not been
disappointed in their expecta-
tions for the taxes are certainly
higher, much higher than those
of 1913 even, which we're the
highest they had ever been UP to
that time.
The notices reveal the fact that
not only is the levy six mills
higher this year than last but
the assessment, in this city at
least, has been raised and that
very materially. Taking the
raise in the levy and in the val
uations together they have re-
suited in a very large increase in
the taxes. This increase has
been from one third, which is the
lowest we have heard Of, to one
half and there are some whose
taxes are double this year what
they were last on the same prop
erty.
One man who paid $3.50 last
year will have to pay $500 this
year. Another who thought two
hundred dollars an exorbitant tax
to pay last year is compelled TO
pay over three hundred this year.
II is in the smaller taxpayers,
however, that the greatest diff
erence is seen. With many OF
these the taxes are fully double
what they were last year. A
man who paid S4.5 so last year
pays 5000 this year, and another
whose tax was SIG. pays $2S al
the present time. We have yei
to hear of a single person who
has less taxes to pay this year
than last or even who pays the
same amount this year as they
did year ago.
A question that is being dis
cussed very much in. connection
with the increase in the take:
is What is being done with th'
money? Why should it be nee.
essary to raise more money eacl
year than the previous year
Why, for instance, should it COS
more proportionately to run ou
schools each year, or why SHOULD
it cost more to run the city gov
ernment?"
One heavy taxpayer suggest
that the legislature should pas
a law lowering the limit to fort
per cent of what it is at the pres
ent time as he contends that tn
city and schools were manage
as we'll with the present limit O.
forty per cent valuation as the
are now.

The Girl Not Worth Knowing
A Few of the Reasons Why Some Girls Are Without Friends.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

T AM going to quote today at length
the letter of a girl who voices the
trouble which I firmly believe many
girls have found taking all the happi-
ness from their lives.
This is what Marion writes: Since
I was 16 1 have gone to different places
of amusement with young men. They
said they enjoyed my company, as 1
was always sociable and made it pleas
ant for every one with whom 1 came
in contact. A young man would call
frequently for three or four months
all seemed to be fascinated for a time,
but L could not keep their lasting
friendship. There has been a steady
series of admirers, and I AVE been
told that I am most attractive. But
before I knew it each one would go
off and be engaged to some other girl.
Now 1 have an admirer who is diff
ferent from the sort I have always
cared for. He is three years younger
than 1 am and is only earning $lS a
week. He has cared for me for over a
year, and I lOVe him as / never thought
1 could care. I feel that I will be hu-
INFLATED hen I bring him among my
friends n that they will scott at me.
He asked me to be his wife, n 1 do
not know which way to turn"
The girl who has charm and mag
netism, but who does not wear we'll
does not bear knowing-has a very
sorry time when her youth goes and
h cherished belleship of her younger
days Vanishes with it She is likely to
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-11-13

make a marriage that is based on only
two things-the desire to be loved
(without particularly loving her sweet
heart), and the longing to prove to the
people who are watching OldmaidhOOd
steal upon her that she can hold a mans
affections after all.
Neither Of these is a legitimate rea-
son for marrying or can lead to any
lasting happiness.
To dispose of Marion's present prob
lem briefly, let me say that it is ridic-
ulOus to measure whether or no you
marry a man in terms of what your
friends will say. If a girl of 25 loves
a man three years her junior and he
knows her age and does not feel that
it is a barrier to their love, she is safe
to marry him, provided she feels rea-
sOnably sure that he is mature enough
to know what he is doing when he mar
ries her.
Eighteen dollars a week is not a
large sum on which to set up house
keeping, but a clever, frugal woman
can manage on hat and encourage her
husband to greater and greater effort
and to success.
The point of MariOn's letter that in
terests all girls is that quality of charm
by which a girl attracts masculine
admiration but cannot hold it. There
are various reasons for it-and the
girl in like case will probably find that
some of them applies to her.
The girl who fails to hold admira-
ton is often self centred and given to
talking and thinking Overmuch Of her
self. She may be peevish and prone
to demand as her rights The things

Thin Folks Who

Instead Of getting into the blood. all the
fat and flesh producing elements stay in
the intestines until they pass from the body
as waste.
To correct this condition and to produce
a healthy, normal amount Of fat the nutri-
tive processes must be artifcially supplied
with the power which nature has denied
them. This can best be accomplished by
eating a Sargol tablet with every meal.
Sargol is a scientific combination Of six Of
the best strengthening, fat-producing ele-
ments known to the medical profession.
Taken with meals, It mixes with the food
and turns the sugars and starches into rich,
ripe nourishment for the tissues and blood.

by cold selfishness she may come to
impress him as the sort of girl who
accepts everything and gives nothing
of warm, human interest, or kindly
sympathy, or real liking in return.
SOM girls give a most unfortunate
impression of merely liking attention
and admiration, or Of wanting some
one to worship at their shrine.
The way to have a friend is to be
one, and the girl who attracts men
and cannot hold their interest prob
ably fails TO feel a real honest inter-

great fault in the nature of n girl who
does not wear Well is the lack of IN
