Looking over the New Folks
directory, we find that the man who
copied the assessed valuations of
people of this county from the tax
roll either had one eye out or the
printer who set up the type run out
of ciphers, or the man who assessed
some of the property had his
friends or got badly balled up on
the valuation of property. One house
in Moscow worth about $500 was
assessed for that amount while
another worth about $4,000 is
assessed at $500, according to this
much which is in the book it is a
question, what is the matter, or is il
a mistake?

That while farmers all realize that
more farm machinery rusts out by
standing through all the year in the
weather than is worn by actual work,
yet it is surprising the amount of
machinery you can see standing out,
while travelling through the country.
All kinds of high priced machinery
left standing in the fields or in the
yards unprocted from the weather.
And these same careless farmers
wonder why machinery will not las,
longer, and be in good running order
the next time they are needed.

CIRCUIT AFTER BUNCH

According to the following editor
ial from the Clearwater Republican,
Editor Pete circuit is going after the
county officers in red hot STYLE
Who accused County Treasurer
Hoar of violating the law relative to
county funds? By taking advantage
of hole in the law, he has deposited
county funds in the name of tax
collector, which draws no interest
for the people, instead of depositing
in the name of the county treasurer,
which draws Q IL per cent on daily
balances for the people. Mr.. Hoar
violates no law. He can keep right
on skinning the taxpayers. He can
pocket the interest and the taxpayers
be powerless. But such policy is
hardly honest. It is certainly unfair
to the people. And, what is more,
it happens to be out of harmony
with the law which provides that
officials cannot retain extra fees.
What more, Blair Hoar is probably
the only county official in the state,
occupying similar position, who
makes any attempt to defraud the
people, already burdened with the
expense of government, out of the
interest on county funds. Under
the same law the people in Latah,
Lewis and other counties get interest
on all their funds because the Off
Gals make no effort to avail them
selves of loop holes through which
no honest official would attempt tc
crawl.
And let there be no mistake. The
official records will show that Com
missioners Frank Zelenka and Elmer
Torgerson, after the matter was call
ed to their attention and they were
shown the county records, passed {
resolution condemning P. L. circuit
and officially endorsed the methods
employed by Blair Hoar.
