REDUCING THE TAXES
Chapter Forty-six

In November 1919 began writing the tax question:
saving that it looked like live question and that it would be
interesting for month 1t has proven be MORE and
no question has ever been the subject of much work and so
much publicity and discussion this county this nor con-
cened many people
The work was commenced without knowing where it would
lead or what it would reveal and wdened in its scope until
became greatest factor the campaign which opened several
months after the beginning of the tax discussion 1t if had
bearing upon the election because the public mind con-
nected with the selection of officials and because they believed
in what has been said and the theories that have been advanced
The writer expected finish the subject long before the
campaign opened and fully expected exhaust the subject during
the campaign but the end and may not be able to
close the subject We do desire to proong it, but there
some important which untouched and our next
chapter on Reducing the Taxes will into that matter

tiers will be in the of suggestions offered for the lntoma
on the officials elect for them consider and to accept SO
much of as may commend itself their judgment The purpose
is to point way reduce the about cent without
mpairng the public service We think reduce more
than that and the time improve the service but men can
seldom carry their views practice that equals their
theories and would be much expect that others could or
would take the theories and approve them and put them into
effect They might have better or they might blend their

MIXED TICKETS in
STATE and COUNTY

Idaho elects democratic governor
and mixed legislature. All the other
state ticket is Republican.
Bingham county elects mixed
tickets with Republicans predominant
ing. Col. Fugate, Progressive COM
missioner; James Young, Democratic
surveyor; Ralph Adair, Progressive,
county attorney; and Andrew Ben
son, Democratic, treasurer, drew
from other tickets and appear to be
elected
The tabular report on page one tells
the story as nearly as it can be de-
termined until the official count is
made. Most of the figures were OBJ
tanned by telephone, and there may
l be errors arising from mistakes in
transmitting, and these will be cor
rected next issue.
The elections in other states show
heavy Republican gains and the Pro-
gressives declining. The Socialist
vote is increased.

SUMMARY OF
LATE WAR NEWS

The apology of the Turk for the
assaults of his fleet on Russian ports
on the Black sea has not accomplish
ed it's purpose. Both Russia and Great
Britain have undertaken active mill
tary measures against him and hostil-
tiles have been begun on the Red
sea.
In France the troops of Emperor
William, frustrated in their persist
9nt endeavors to advance along the
coast are now seeking route more
to the south and the fighting in
Flanders is going on with determine
tion on the part Of the allies and
heavy onslaughts from the enemy.
Constantlnople reports officially
that Russian troops have attacked
her frontier in the Caucasus at sew
eral points, but were driven back; a
British crusier has shelled and ac-
cupied the Turkish fortified town Of
Ak&bah on the Red sea In Arabia;
it is announced in news dispatch
that Emperor Nicholas has ordered
his Caucasian army to cross the
frontier an dattack the Turks; the
Turkish ambassador has left the Rus
sian capital; the Russian foreign
minister has replied to the porte that
negotiations are now impossible, and
an imperial manifesto issued in Pet
rograd says Russian confidence is
firm that the Intervention of Turkey
will only hasten the fatal issue to
tina empire and ha Russia will now
find way to settle the Black sea
problems.
Flanders still shows a continuance
of hard fighting, always attended
with heavy losses on both sides, as
the allies maintain their apparently
successful resistance to the German
efforts to advance toward French
ports on the English channel.
The French official announcement
given out in Paris this afternoon
said the Germans evidently had
abandoned the left bank of the User
below Dixmude and that the allies
had taken possession of points on the
river where crossings could be made
The French report bears out news
dispatches that the Germans are seek
ing a route through the allies lines
further to the south than any they
have attempted in the last two weeks.
Lord Kitchener, the British secre-
tary of war, was in Dunkirk Sunday
night, doubtless for the purpose of
supervising the operations of the
allied forces. He crossed from Eng
land and was in conference with
President Poincare of France and M.
de Brocqueville, the prime minister
of Belgium.
The Germans last Sunday, accord
ing to news dispatches, made sup
rene effort to capture Ypres.
Lives without number were sacri-
feed in an endeavor which apparent
ly resulted in fail re for today they
are said to be concentrating their ef-
forts at point we'll to the south Of
this battle Scared locally. Emperor
William himself was present, accord
ing to news dispatches, at the latest
attempt to capture this importan po-
sion. German forces have left
Bruges for Courtral, rs miles to the
south and 18 miles east Of Ypres
where the British hold the line. This

You may be able to get large city weekly, filled with murders, scandal cases, chicken fights, etc., for less money than you pay for your home paper, but these city weeklies never advertise your own county and make your property valuable. They do not help along your schools and churches they do not publish your county news, they say nothing of you and your town, and have no interest in you. A good newspaper is as much ad vantage to a town or county as are good schools. If one of our farmer friends should happen into one of these city offices he would find out 1 in two minutes that he had no well come there such as he would receive in a printing office at home. Stand by your home paper; it stands by you, and is ever on the lookout for your interest-Harrison Times.
 Resolutions
 Whereas, Exact Scientific research has proved that alcohol in all it's forms is a poison, and poison only, and that it possesses that peculiar cumulative attraction for itself where by one drink always calls for another. and, whereas, Social drinking has been one of it's strongholds in that it seems well-nigh impossible for one to resist being treated" or to refuse it when extended by the fair hand of women, Therefore; Resolved; That this Un- ion exert itself more vigorously in carrying these truths into the homes of the people, that they may learn of them, and thus become voluntary to- tai abstainers and cease to serve, at anysocial function, that which might perhaps break down in a moment the principles of total abstinence which it has taken the parents and the church lifetime to inculate.
