The Receipt System.


The state of Ohio is to adopt the
"tear-off" receipt system in use on
railroad trains to prevent the officials
of its political subdivisions from 60
ing wrong. Recent experiences in
cases in Athens and Springfield have
led the state bureau of accounting to
attempt to work out a system that
those who are charged with collecting
money can not beat. Joseph T. Tracy,
head of the bureau, said that the rail-
way conductors receipt seemed to be
the best thing as solution. Under
the law the bureau has power to ask
in court for removal of any official who
fails to comply with the orders and
systems of the department 1t will
therefore make a rule that receipts
must be given when money is received
by any public official For small pay
ments the department will install sys-
TENS like those used by the moving
picture playhouses to keep check on
the girls who sell tickets.

To Spend Upward Of 100000.

There are two sides to the task of
directing the great plan for recon
structing Ohio's highways, and the
state highway commissioner is bend
ing every effort to develop both, the
practical and sentimental. The in
tensely practical consists in spending
upward Of $7,000,000 in year without
waste or graft. The sentimental
comes in largely in getting public opin-
ion to stand behind the big highway
projects that are being worked out.

S6 lines, but there may be some who
are not clear on just why that 43 cents
was added. For their benefit the Re-
publican will say the 43c is to pay the
actual cost Of doing the work. An av-
erage printer, at 30 cents an hour,
could set the type for about 43 cents.
Allowing for cost Of plant, rent, paper
and other necessary expenses, it will
be seen that $6.45 is legitimate charge,
and that any more than legitimate
charge is excessive.
And, Mr.. Taxpayer. what about the
county commissioners, who, rs the
trusted representatives Of the people,
sat there and allowed such plain,
rank overcharge to 60 through? A man
would have to be awful drunk to moi

COUNTY FUNDS DRAW NO INTEREST

According to Blair Hoar, treasurer
and tax collector Of Clearwater county,
Blair Hoar is wonderful man, and a
great friend of the people. In fact, it
would be hard, according to Blair Hoar,
to run the county without Blair Hoar.
For, says the Tribune in an article
that sounds like it had been written by
Blair Hoar, Blair Hoar is the greatest
thing in the line of a tax collector that
ever came down the pike. Got the rest
of them backed off the board, holding
the worlds record for efficient and
prompt service. The Tribune says that
Blair, because Of his wonderful
system" and his still more wonder
full ability, had his books all balanced,
the money apportioned, and his re-
ports completed, all within few min
utes after Blair Hoar, as tax collector,
closed his books Saturday evening,
January 3, 1914. And still more won
derful, says the Tribune article that
sounds like Blair himself had written
it, Blair Hoar is the only tax collector
in the world who could have accom-
plished the astonishing feat. It would,
according to the Tribune article thai
sounds like Blair Hoar, have required
any other mortal at least month to dc
the same stupendous labor, and the
claim is made that worlds record wa:
broken in doing this signal service fol
the s'dear people," Then the Tribune
figures that since Blair got his report
out thirty days ahead of time he there
by saved the taxpayers $7O0 in interest
All of which is rot, pipe dream, thu
rawest kind Of deception, and befor'
Blair Hoar gets through with it he will
in the eyes of every decent citizen il
the county, realize that for once h
started something he, even with Pat
help, he cannot finish.
What are the facts?
First. Blair Hoar had not turned il
, his reports, not one Of them, for tn
month Of December, up to last nigh,
January l6, 1914.
+ Second According to law his re
ports were due Monday morning, Jan
uary 6, at the time he said they wer
ready. Instead Of breaking recor
he is behind time, and perhaps incon
. petent. e
Third. Blair Hoar has three dep.
ties to help, and would probably hav
more if we had new court house an
his office would accommodate large
crew.
Fourth. What Blair Hoar, with thre
deputies claimed to have done, bt
which they did not do, was accon

with one deputy, in the adjoining
county Of Lewis, the business Of these
two counties being almost the same.
So much for Blair's world record. And
Blair wanted the people to swallow the
bait without question, and has proba-
bly, been swelling around the court
house waiting for the grateful people to
come in and present him with a Car
negie hero medal. He will wake up
and find that the taxpayers have al
ready tagged him "2S."
Fifth. During the month Of Decem-
ber, 1918, Blair Hoar, as tax collector,
collected for the people the sum OF
$l23, 179.4l. On January 3, the only
thing on earth that Blair Hoar really
did was to report to Auditor Kauff-
man that Blair Hoar, tax collector, had
turned over to Blair Hoar, county
treasurer, the above mentioned sum,
which had been deposited since its col
lection in such way that the people
have lost the interest, and one hall
per cent on daily balances, or some
thing like S75 for the month Of Decem-
ber. Who got this interest. Any bank
in the world will pay any depositor on
earth per cent on daily balances, and
the Republican is not so dense as to
believe that Blair Hoar, Blake gang
ster Of the first water, has overlooked
this graft. II he denies that he got It.
then he gave it to Foxy Jim, or let the
Vollmer bank in Lewiston have the use
Of money belonging to the people o.
Clearwater county, and beat the tax
payers out Of interest on their money
And the blad truth is that whether
Blair got the money, or he gave th'
Vollmer bank the peoples money fol
nothing, the people Of Clearwatel
county did not get the interest. Unde
the same law, the people OF Latah
Lewis, and other counties, where th'
interests Of the people are looked after
this money is deposited daily in tn

people benefit hundreds of dollars an

COUNTY PRINTING
BEATS GOLD BRICK

The Republican does not wish to
misrepresent Brother Crow and the
Blake gang paper. Therefore will ac-
cept the following explanation by the
Tribune:
"Aniticipating that Windy Pete will
make a roar today about a clerical er-
ror Of Tribune bill against the county,
this paper wishes to thank the pine
log pencil pusher for calling attention
to the matter. A revised bill will show
about $50 in favor of the Tribune instead
of an overcharge of $50.
For the benefit Of those who may not
have seen the article last week the Re-
publican will say that the appended
bill, taken from the county records,
was published with the statement that
the Republican would do the same
work for $6.45, and do any future
printing for the county on the same
basis. Note that for work that can be
done for the county on the basis of five
cents for the first and two and hall
cents for each subsequent insertion
Pat Blake, A. L. Harper, now
sheriff, and Henry A. Wood, paid thu
Tribune at the rate Of more than 81 pei
line, or at the rate of $l44O per page.
The Republican was of the opinion il
had made the mess bad enough, but !
seems that on investigation Brother
Grow finds that he made mistake, ant
that his bill was too small by $50. s.
add the $50 and you will have thu
amount the Tribune wants US to un
derstand it expects the taxpayers t
eventually dig up for s6 lines OF com
missioners proceedings, or $l6S.43. W.
take it, from the explanation in tn
Tribune, that the county records hav
been corrected, and the incident
dropped.
Now let us get this straight. The col
rected bill should read: 'May "a, 1912
Sc lines Com. Proceedings, $166.43.
Now any taxpayer, even a farme
can understand that $166 is all right, ft

ASSAULTS EDITOR

the board to send for Mr.. Hoar and him
explain. The assault followed, with
no effort to explain. Andit looks like
the only chance Blair Hoar had TO get
out of explaining an apparently crooke d
deal was to change the subject, and to
start rough house.
And the question remains: Did Blair
Hoar or John P. Vollmer's bank or the
Blakes pocket the taxpayers interest?
And is it the truth that makes Blair
Hoar and the gang SO mad? Why don't
they explain things?
