this proposition can be realized. But
we cannot get action by our personal

wasting several weeks at heavy ex-

Politicians Want a Truce.

The political mathematicians of
Washington have It figured out that
there are sixty-seven Democrats in the
House of Representatives elected by
the minority party vote in November,
1912, coming from districts normally
Republican. Because of the fact that
the Republicans and Progressives in
the House have been getting along so
nicely, Washington leaders are calcuIat-
ing that If the two parties can secure
seventy-four new Republicans in the
House that they will have Joint control.
While the Progressive party IS active,
yet of that party in Congress to think
that inasmuch as 1914 is an off year"
that there ought to be a getting
together" They support this with the
theory that no real big fight is necess-
airy between Republicans and Progress
ives until presidential election time
comes around

After having spent several weeks in

duced; but 1T means that in the main
street more than so per cent of the
houses were raised and Mr.. Paul and
few others were lowered.
The Miner called particular attention
to some item of certain funds when
under my administration that had
spent more money than under the pre-
sent board but does not mention any,
thing else 1t is all one SIDED. | don t
care anything about that, but will just
call attention to the reader TO look over
their own tabulated statement, partic-
ularly the highway fund. The present
board has spent S794.67, Where has
that money gone? There has been no
improvements made, no work to be
seen. Is 1T possible it was expended in
sweeping out the rubbish on Silver
street?
Another thing taken from their state
ment is the salary fund during the first
four years of my administration. The
salary fund spent was SS.094.77. at the
rate of 2,023.70 per year, and one
year o. the present administration they
admitted having spent S2,670.86, the
sum of S647. l6 more. How is it that the
salaries cost more than the first four
years? OF course there is some excuse
for that. In addition to the list of inn
provements and other requirements
stated in my statement published in
the Iron County News | will add to
that the additional item-Amount of
money paid out. The money of which
the people don't know and that is an
addition to the indebtedness already
stated.
There was indebtedness on April. /,

Now you add the cost of all other i'm

ure for yourself whether it will reach
or not the amount of money spent.

1t is now to be determined whether
the Big Democrats in the House of
Representatives or Big Democrats of the
White House is to be master. Lines are
being sharply drawn in reference to

and Claude Kitchln of North Carolina.
who is slated TO succeed to the position
of Democratic House leader upon the
retirement of Mr.. Underwood, propose
that tine issue shall be met in the House
of representatives. Mr.. Kitchin saws
that "if President Wilson had not
taken the position for repeal the
proposition would not have received
Democratic vote in the Senate, and
certainly not ten per cent of the
Democratic vote in the House" Mr..
Kitchin insists that Great Britain in
one of its notes had admitted that free
tolls to American coast-wise vessels
was IN no way violation of any treaty
obligations. He quotes the British note
of July 8. 1912. as follows: IF the
trade should be so regulated as to make
1t certain that only bona hde coast-wise
traffic would benefit by this exemption,
it may be that no objection could be
taken. The position of Democratic
leaders IS expressed by one Congress
man of that party who says: 1.-THE
President has changed his position.
Shall charge, simply because the
President has. Or shall 1 follow the
Democratic path, where my reason and,
conscience run" 1t is declared IN
that President Wilson, in
he absence of the regular party sup
'ort, that he has previously had, has
assumed personal direction of the fight
.or the admintration program for the
oils exemption repeal in the House.
Of course. the President always leans
most heavily upon private secretary,
'lr. Tumulty, IN all matters, but
postmaster General Burleson. who has
he advantage of having been one of
he recent House leaders, has been
RATED into the Presidents cause. and
here is every evidence that the Presi.
eut does not propose to leave any
tone unturned.

Auto-Liccnse Fund.

The first distribution to the coun-
ties of the state out Of the motor
vehicle license fund of 1914 was
made April LIST by Thomas Hall.
Secretary of State. During the
three months that the distribution
covers, 5,519 automobiles and 255
motorcycles were licensed. Out of
the SIT, 322.00 received for licenses
$13,90S.60 was distributed for the
Improvement Of county roads; the
balance, $3.413.40, has been put
aside for the cost of tags, postage,
clerk hire, etc. Out Of the $13,-
90S.60, Emmons county has re-
ceived $144.60 for 81 automobiles
and 3 motorcycles. The money
coming this early makes it available
for use in improving our country
roads early in the season. Distripu.
lions of this motor vehicle fund will
be- made monthly hereafter.
The chief of police of fifty cities
and the county commissioners of
every county in the state have been
asked for their earnest cooperation
in the enforcement of the motor We.
hicle license law 1t is a misde-
meanor to operate a vehicle without
a tag. Mr.. Hall does not want the
law to be regarded as dead letter,
for its enforcement means not only
safety to the public, but the i'm
provements of our country roads as
we'll. Judging from last years
figures there are no less than 5000
unlicensed motor vehicles in the
state at this time.
