Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-13

cuse the rank and rotten expenditure
of public funds for plans and needless
supervision, does it?
The Republican stands for equal tax
alton, and favors the taxation Of timber
companies up to the limit oil square
deal. Not an acre of timber land
should escape its fair share Of the bur-
den Of government. The Republican
would encourage every honest effort
on the part Of county and state officials
in the direction Of equitable taxation.
But does this warrant the wasting
Of county funds, or justify graft and
political corruption? The Republican
not only favors honest taxation but it
demands honest expenditure Of taxes
for the benefit Of the people. The Re-
publican favors the building Of bridges,
but demands a dollars worth Of bridge
for dollar Of county funds.
A lot Of good it will do the taxpayers
Of Clearwater county to gouge timber
companies to the limit and then turn
the money over to bridge contractors,
publishers and timber cruisers who
succeed in getting fat contracts from
a corrupt county board. Why not use
surplus funds to the end that taxes
may be generally reduced, or the SUR
plus, now wasted, be used for the
building Of much need county roads
and additional bridges?
Why not stop paying an excessive
price for road culvert and devote the
surplus to the building Of better roads?
Because the money comes from timber
companies Is no excuse for wasting
funds. And when Pat Blake tells the
farmers that $4,000 bridges do not
cost anything he is insulting the intel
ligence and good sense Of those whom
he seeks to deceive. It reminds us Of
the fellow who, staggering onto a
bridge at the wee small hours Of MORN
ing, sang:
Il stood on the bridge at midnight,
As drunk as son-of-a-gun;
Two moons shone DER the city
Where there should have been but
one,"

Clearwater county has more undevel.
oped resources than any other county
in the state Of Idaho, and probably in
the United States. II this is true it is
only matter Of time when Clearwater
county will be one Of the most prosper
Gus counties in the state. Therefore
Clearwater county is a good place
in which to invest your money. Land
is now rediculously cheap. The best
soil in the world ought to bring several
times its present market value.

The Boise Capital News makes a
great deal OF fuss over the fact that
somebody caught a 11-pound trout
down in south Idaho, claiming it is the
biggest one ever landed in the state.
II may be for south Idaho, but up here
in Clearwater county the kids use H.
pound trout for bait. Come up here,
you south Idaho anglers and enjoy
some real fishing.

THAT ROAD CULvERT.

And remember that II there is any
difference In the quality Of culvert
purchased that Latah county got all the
best Of it, not because some agent says
SO, but because expert chemists have
tested these cnlverts and find it SO by
scientific analysis.
Now Zelenka and Torgerson, in buying
culvert as all other county supplies,
acted as the business managers Of the
taxpayers, didn't they? And what
have they to say in a case that shows
such plain, rank, inexcusable lack Of
common, ordinary business sense? II
these public officials were honest, but
knew no better, are they competent?
It they knew better, but permitted
Beal & Company to skin the taxpayers
are they on the square? So the best
you can say is that the county board is
either incompetent or crooked, and
they may have either horn Of the d.
lena they choose. In either case they
are not fit to look after county business,
are they?
Lastly, II these men are incompetent
in the matter Of road culvert what
about all the other county business?
Mr.. Taxpayer, just sit down and think
about this. Be honest with yourself
II you were running store, and either
OF these men were managing it for you.
would you keep them as managers il
In buying goods for your store, they
handled your private business in the
same way they have looked after
county business? Suppose the man.
ager Of 7 he Orofino Trading Company's
store here in Orofino should be guilty
OF such incompetency, what would the
stockholders do about it? How long
would Mr.. Holmberg hold his job?
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1914-03-13

Why not packing plant for Orofino?
Why not? Such an industry would
pay, and give Orofino an industry that
would afford steady employment for a
few men and add a family or two to the
town. It would afford a better home
market for the farmer, and that would
be worth while.
