THE ISSUE.

The voters Of Shoshone county
should be on their guard against being
misled by minor and comparatively
unimportant matters in their choice Of
candidates for county offices. So far
as the personnel of the men and wo-
men who compose the democratic
county ticket Is concerned, they are all
of good standing and certainly this pa
per has no intention or desire to cast
dispersion upon them. But political Of
flce holders must necessarily be influ-
enced to a great extent In their official
conduct by the organization to which
they belong and which was instru-
mental In eIecting them. It Is there
fore Of the first Importance that the
voters should know and understand
the dominant influences that control
the organization. for few officers. 1t
matters not how honest in purpose, are
strong enough to defy the power that
put them in office. II the party organ
ization Is representative in character
and Is actuated by desire to render
faithful and efficient service, then its
candidates II elected may reasonably
be depended upon to serve the inter-
ests of the people. But II the organi-
zation Is not representative, II 1t is
dominated by one man who has selfish
interests to serve, whose lust for power
is his controlling characteristic, who
uses the power his connection with
great mining companies gives him to
control the votes of employees. who
controls banks. newspapers and is in
close touch II not directly interested in
large mercantile concerns monopolistic
in character then 1t may be accepted
as certain that the candidates OF such
an organization, 1t matters not how
good their Intentions, must when &C.
casion arises, sacrifice the public SER
vice for that Of the power that put
them in Office. The stream can not rise
higher than its source.
Here, then. Is the issue in Shoshone
the paramount issue, to use a
favorite democratic expression. The
democratic party in Shoshone county |
Is not representative organization:
It Is one-man party, and the one man
Is Of the type described above. The |
success Of the democratic ticket means
The tightening Of his grip upon the
district. II you think that Is good

opportunity and individual effort and

DEMOCRACY AND DULL TIMES.

1t Is of course disconcerting and
disappointing to democrats who desire
to limit the discussion OF the campaign
to euloges Of Woodrow Wilson to
have republicans break in with rude
and unkind statements calling atten-
ton to the duh times and lack Of con-
fidence that prevail all over the coun-
try, and which by singular coinci-
dence date almost from the hour
woodrow Wilson and his democratic
congress took over the government.
When Senator Brady with great force
and clearness referred in his speech to
the disastrous effects Of the Under
wood tariff law upon the industries Of
the country, and particularly upon the
lead mining industry OF the Occur
d'Alene district. the local democratic
organ Immediately hurled at him the
charge Of being q calamity hoWier
No argument was offered to show that
the senator's conclusions are wrong. no
attempt made to show wherein he mis-
stated the facts. not even denial that
what he stated is true, but he is called
I calamity bowler" In the hope that
the unthinking will accept that con-
domination without examining into the
conditions the senator described.
It was not necessary for Senator
Brady to come here to tell us that the
country \ IN bad way industrially

Protection and free trade represent
two distinct principles of government,
and so long as each is represented by
a political party, the tariff will con-
tinue to be live political question.
The assertion that woodrow Wilson
has eliminated the tariff from politics
is simply another one of those psyche
logical assertions that emanate from
the White House to be re-echoed by
the faithful throughout the country.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-10-15

Senator Brady pointed to his record
in the senate as the best evidence Of
what he would do If reelected. His
democratic opponent, Ex-Governor
Hawley, on the same platform week
before told what Woodrow Wilson had
done and promised to help him con-
tinue doing it. In other words, Brady's
idea Is to serve the people Of Idaho;
Hawley's is to serve the president.

Cleveland and Wilson seem to have
done much toward advancing the dem
ocratic theory of government, and dur
ing the administrations of both the
people have found themselves in the
position of the blind man on the street
with his little tin cup.

MONTPELIER POSTOFFICE
ADVANCED TO End CLASS
Change will be Made on July lStThe Assistant
Postmaster and Clerks will be Subject to
Civil Service Regulations.

animation will be held for those
who may seek positions Ia the office
under Postmaster Robinson. The
salary ~ the postmaster win be ad-
vanced from $500 TO $4,000 a year
on July LIST,
Under the rules governing second
class offices the postmaster may
work a. many hours as he desires,
but the assistant and clerks work
only eight hours each. II II also
optional with the postmaster
whether or not the delivery window
shall be opened on Sundays. In
most second class offices the only
mail delivered on Sundays Is that
bearing special delivery stamps.
AT this time Mr.. Robinson il not
prepared 10 say whether he will OBJ
serve this rule or whether the de-
livery window viii continue to be
opened one hour on Sundays
In second class offices the reports
which have 10 he forwarded to
Washington are less complicated
than those required from third class
offices. This win relieve the incom-
ing postmaster Of a great deal of
clerical work.

rived last Friday. which gives him
authority tn take charge Of the Of.

ness on June 80.

fiscal year. Delayed collections of
the assessed income tax will cut
down this surplus.
However, the secretary explains
that this surplus will be more than
wiped out because of Panama Canal
payments, estimated at S37 ,000, 900.
This means that there will be an ap-
parent deficit of at least $1,000
900 on June 40. This does not take
into consideration, of course, the
possibility of raising more cash by
the floating Ok more Panama Canal
bonds already authorized by Con-
gress.
Secretary McAdoo is loath to be-
lieve that that the income tax has
fallen so far short of expectations
He says:
The department is convinced
that many liable to the income tax
have failed TO make returns, and
that many have made inaccurate re.
turns. Active steps will be taker
to discover all evasions of the law
and large additional amount of in
come tax will undoubtedly be col
lected from these delinquents." /"
This optimism is not shared by al
the democratic leaders, and by non'
of the republicans, who have Away
contended that the democratic tariff
makers were counting their chickens
4 before they were Matched. Th'
republicans will doubtless use thi
condition of affairs as one argumen
in favor of a return to the high re
publican tariff, which has alway
proved to be a good revenue pro
ducer for the government.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1914-06-19

The Montpelier postotIiee will be
advanced to second class office on
the first day Of July. Official notice
to this effect was received by Pest,
master Winters last week. This
means that there win be- a general
revolution In the management OF
the office. and will enable the in
coming postmaster TO give better
service than il was possible for
Postmaster Winters 10 give while
working under the rules which gov
ern third class offices.
1t means tnat Postmaster Rob
inson will be entitled 20 an assistant
and two clerks. the salaries of which
will be- $500 each. and all will bc
paid by the government. In third
class offices the government pays
for only one clerk. In this Office
the work has been so heavy that
Mr.. Winters has been compelled u
keep two additional clerks, which he
has had TO pay out Of his own salary
In second class offices the assistant
postmaster and all clerks are sub,
ject To civil service regulations
This, Of course, means that Mr.
Robinson cannot have anything d
say as regards to who will bc his az
sistant or clerks, Their appoint
ments will be made by the post
office department and will be- basc,
upon the averages attained By thos'
who take the examination A ye

INCOME TAX FAILS TO
PRODUCE ESTIMATED SUM
Secretary MAdoo Says Shortage will Amount

turns Blamed for Loss.

Washington, June 13.-That the
income tax law has failed by $685.
$50, 900 to raise the amount of mon
ey estimated by the democratic
tariff makers during the first ten
months Of its operation was admit
ted yesterday by Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo in an official state
ment. 1t was estimated that it
would bring in $54, 100000. The
assessments are only $50, ,75O 900.
1t has been constantly rumored
during the last few months that the
income tax was not coming up to
the expectations of those democrats
who wanted to raise from taxing
big incomes enough money to offset
their reductions in the customs
tariff. Not until yesterday after
noon would any official of the Treas
ury admit the truth of the report.
Secretary McAdoo's statement in
cluded resume of the entire rev.
enues for the fiscal years ending on
the Both of this month. Were it
not for an unexpected windfall in
the shape of a probable 1921 ,000,-
900 in receipts from customs tariffs
on imported articles, which is $21,-
100000 more that it was originally
estimated would be received from
this source, the Treasury would be
running pretty short Of cash.
AS it is, Secretary McAdoo says
that if all the income tax assess
ments are paid by June 80 there
will probably be surplus of $780,

ALVA EVANS HURT
IN A RUNAWAY

Last Saturday Alva Evans and
two children met with two accidents
while enroute from their home in
Raymond to Montpelier. Mr.. Evans

and ne hadn't the least idea that
either Of the horses would scare at
anything, but Saturday appeared to
be an off day for them and as they
were jogging along up Wood canyon
the horses became frightened at
some object and making quick
lunge to one side, upset the wagon.
The wagon was not damaged and
neither Mr.. Evans or either one of
his children were injured. AS soon
as Mr.. Evans could get the wagon
in shape, they continued their jour
ney toward Montpelier.
All went we'll until they were
near Mumford's ranch in Montpelier
canyon, when the horses again be-
came frightened, and this time they
started to run. They had gone but
a short distance when the tongue
dropped, causing the wagon to stoI
suddenly, while the horses continued
on their fight. Mr.. Evans held OF
to the lines and was pulled over th'
dash board and dragged short dis

ouish his hold on the lines. Hurry

vidual right as long as that indivi-
dual could clearly establish that he
is acting within the law.
The decision was rendered In the
trial of David Day of Downey, on
the charge of illegally transporting
liquor into dry territory. The at
torney for the defendant demon
strated that the state had failed to
establish that the liquor was to have
been used for illegal purposed. and
challenged the prosecution on that
basis.
On the instructions of Judge
Bulge the jury returned verdict
OF acquittal without leaving their
seats.
Fundamentally the points involved
in the action are that when there is
no evidence that there has been any
other violation Of law. or when, the

livered or otherwise disposed of In
