DUNLAP SHOWS HOW
CITY SPENDS ITS
TAX MONEY

The committee that is meeting to
consider the serious tax problems
confronting the citizens of Caldwell
and Canyon County is going about
their business in a way that will
bring results.
Matters of interest to Caldwell
have been discussed and it is expect
ed that at the meeting next week
some definite course of action look
ing TO a saving to the city taxpayer
will be mapped out.
AT the request of the committee
our very efficient city clerk, S. Ben
Dunlap, prepared the following data
as to expenditures in the various city
departments in the last nine months.
There is total absence of any spirit
of criticism toward the city admins
tration among the members of the
committee. but they feel that it is
necessary to know all the facts if
anything is to be accomplished.

that Flagg's contract with his custom.

Mr.. Coleman, in seeking dismissal

the government and that to interpose
a defense would mean to call virtu-

COLONEL HARVEY CALLS
AGAIN At WHITE HOUSE

Washington. Oct. 2S.--Col. George
Harvey called upon President Wilson
at the White House today for the Sc
cond time within month. He yto!d
the President that in his opinion the
outlook for Democratic victory in the
election was excellent. D.
Colonel Harvey revealed after leav.
ing the White House that while he
never agreed with the Presidents
policy of not recognizing Huerta In
Mexico, he thought subsequent events
had made the Presidents program
work out very, well.
Colonel Harvey has talked with
Henry Watterson since the latter's
call on the President recently and It
was said that all the prediction un-
pleasantness had been ironed out.

The Kno,0n Quantity

Superintendent A. C. Matheson,
the present efficient head Of our pub

personal and educational, for the po-
sition which he now holds.
For twelve years he has been &C:

tics or partisanship. He stands for
q square deal for all parties and FOR
all educational institutions within the
State. He believes that no educa.
tional institution should dominate
nor attempt to dominate the State
department Of public instruction and
ne feels that the State department
Of public instruction should not IN
any way attempt to ob3truct any Ell
ucational institution.
He is the known quantity in our
educational life which means moIe
to Cache county than all else com
bined. He is not the creation OF q
few educators with ambitions to sat
isfy. or grudges to infiict. and on
that basis alone should appeal to the
people Of Cache county more than
weak words can tell.
