Former Attorney General Bonaparte Says to Allow Other Nations to Use Big Ditch Unrestricted Would Invite Disaster

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-ln de- fense of the Panama tolls exemption. former Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte. of Baltimore. told the senate that the canals committee ad vocates of d repeal could not escape from the position that the United States in case of war, is bound to permit it's enemy to use the canal.
 If We were at war with Japan he said. our garrison at the isthmus would be mere idle spectators of a peaceful passage of the Japanese fleet, to attack New orleans or New York. If We were at war with Ger many. troops would look tranquilly on while German vessels traversed it to take San Francisco, and the net result of our enormous expenditure for the construction of the canal would be to make our coast much more vulnerable than it was before
 Bonaparte contended the rules of construction required that the Hay Pauncefote treaty be interpreted as not requiring the United to States to

Is Frank Zelenka Working
For The Timber Companies?

anything the timber company is will
ing to offer The Weyerhaeuser tim
ber trust will be able to acquire the
holdings Of the poor man at their
price.
No wonder Mr.. Humiston said he
approved the policy of Frank Zelenka.
o. C. Keller. democrat, once coroner
of Latah county, and John Brown of
Kendrick, another prominent demo-
crat, have expressed the same senti-
ment. Frank Zelenka is going to
force them to give their holdings to
some timber company for nothing.
These men say they cannot hold on.
They will sell for half or lessthan the
gang has assessed their claims. No
wonder the Weyerhaeuser timber COM
pany finds no fault with the way
Frank Zelenka and Pat Blake are ma
nipulating things.
If the small holder is to be robbed
till he can bear the burden no longer
he must sell at any price the timber
companies see fit to offer, and in the
end the little holder, by being com
PEELED to give his timber to the big
companies, will make up to tn,
Weyerhauser timber trust every cen
they have lost. No wonder w. D

The three republican candidates
for county commissioner have pub
licly pledged themselves to grant no
saloon licenses. The democratic ca1l-
didates have SO far made no public
pledges. They said nothing at Cav
,endish. They said nothing at Ahsah-
ka. They have said nothing in the
Orofino Tribune up to today. They
have, we are told, told the women
that they were dry, and yet the
bootleggers are supporting the demo-
cratic county ticket.

1918, not yet paid. They want no
more. One of the largest stores in
Clearwater county informs the Re-
publican that it will take no more
unless the banks will take them. At
Weippe Monday night County Com
missioner Harrison admitted that road
funds were so far overdrawn that the
banks were refusing to cash them.
Mr.. Harrison and Torgerson have
called all road work in their districts
off. Zelenka is running for Office
and will not stop. He is going on
piling up debts and the credit of the
county exhausted. Zelenka will
bankrupt the county if the people do
not rebel. As county commissioner
he is the biggest farce we have ever
seen. Before the mess is cleaned up
and the debts paid and the interest
stopped the people will curse the day
they ever cast a vote for Zelenka
and good roads as this man does
business.
And now what? With the county
in debt one hundred thousand dollars
or more, the people are this very min
ute carrying a burden of about 81, 900
year interest, for county deficiency
warrants draw per cent. To escape
this, the county is now facing the
necessity of issuing bonds. This is
the fruit of four years of graft, ex-
travagance and gang rule.

Therexis thousand times more ex-
cuses for calling Frank Zelenka tim
Der tool, and to suspect that he is
in with timber companies,
than there is to charge Jack Harlan
with being timber tool. Why?
Because Jack Harlan has never IA
vored timber companies. He fought
timber companies five years for his
homestead. He fought timber COM
panies all the while he was resident
of the Pierce district. The people
there said that Jack Harlan was too
radical against timber companies.
Frank Zelenka has never fought tim
Der companies. w. D. Humiston,
when he appeared before the county
board this spring for the Weyerhauser
timber trust, to have taxes equalized,
said he thought the cruise was good
thing. Why?
Let us see?
Take Ike Hunsperger, one of the
prominent socialists of Orofino. For
wears Mr.. Hunsperger has held or
and paid taxes on timber claim.
He has struggled to hold it till time
when some company would start oper-
ations in his neighborhood and he
could sell cut. But can this pool

BLAIR HOAR is AN
EXPENSIVE LUXURY

On the evening of October 81, 1912,
the democratic county candidates of
Clearwater county held meeting at
Gilbert. Pat Blake was there and SO
was Mr.. Zelenka. Blair Hoar was
candidate for county treasurer.
He said: II am candidate for treas
urer and will say to you, as such
will make one pledge, and if it be-
comes the duty of the treasurer to at
tend to the tax collections, will try
to make you good clean record.
am not asking for deputy or any
other person, as | feel that am COM
petent.
Has Mr.. Hoar kept this promise?
Although Frank Zelenka was present
and heard the promise, Mr.. Hoar had
not been in office ten days when his
salary was doubled, and for the year
ending April IL, 1914, the official re-
port Of the county auditor shows
81, 16l. 20 for deputies for the proceed
ing twelve months. And Frank Ze-
lenka as chairman of the county board,
knowing this pledge had been given
to the people, has been party to this
whole mess. He has approved and
paid the bills.
And while county commissioner Ze-
lenka has been voting away the peo-
ple's money in violation of the pledge
at Gilbert, Blair Hoar, for whose
time the people pay, stands on the
street corner telling the people how
to run the county, and while deputies
do work he promised to do, he paints
democratic campaign signs, in colors,
for Pat Blake's billboard and fol
months loafed around the Orofino Tri-
bune' Office and was generally believ-
ed to be writing most of the copy fol

ring, and run in the interest of tn,
Blake gang.
Frank Zelenka was certainly awar,
of this neglect Of duty, and yet, a
county commissioner, he not only ap
proved the increased salary for Blair
but supplied deputies to do the worl
which Blair was paid to do, and 0
top of all this voted to allow Blair a
extra salary grab of 1925 for bringin
up land index records, that other off
GERS furnish as part Of their regula
1 duty, and Mr.. admits that all h
personally did for the 1925 was $7.6
worth of work.
