COUNTIES BARRED
BY CONSTITUTION
Section -, Article Of State COnstitu-
ton Bases ON Which Suit Was
Filed Against County Officials Sat
urday Last

Through an error in the story print
ed Saturday relative to the suit filed
by County Attorney Moore in behalf
of Latah county against j. L. Woody,
A. B. McIntire and j. E. Hall, mem
bers of the county board in 1911, Aud
itor Estes and Treasurer Ruth w.
Broman, to recover for donations
made was based on constitutional
provision which was quoted as Ar
ticle 8, section 4. The wrong section,
though similar, was printed. The ac-
ton is based on the constitutional
provision contained in Section u, ar
ticle which is as follows:
mo county, town or city, or other
municipal corporation, by vote of its
citizens or otherwise, shall ever be-
come a stakeholder in any joint stock
company, corporation or association
whatever, or raise money for or make
donation or loan its credit to, or aid
of, any such company or association:
Provided, that cities and towns may
contract Indebtedness for school, wa
ter, sanitary, and illuminating pur-
poses: Provided, That any city or
town contracting such indebtedness
shall own it's just proportion of the
property thus created, and receive
from any income arising therefrom,
it's proportion to the whole amount so
invested"

view him kindly 40 a sort Of comprom-
Use remains to be SEEM 1t u certain
they will not unless his candidacy is
removed from old guard auspices. Pro-
gressive republicans hope for the NOM
nation of man like Senator Cummins
but the friends OF Senator Cummins
understand perfectly that II the con-
sentative elements Of the party think
they can win with some man who Is less
progressive they will fight against him
or any other progressive member of
the party.
Burton Not Classified.
Burton was in the house sixteen
years and in the senate six years. He
has been conservative republican but
on the other hand has displayed unus-
ual independence at times. He was
never liked by the old Cannon machine
in the house because he was too inde-
pendent. He was for ten years chair
man of the house rivers and harbors
committee and later member OF the
senate commerce committee. The big
work he did in congress was in his
fight to abolish the pork barrel sys-
tenn Of river and harbor appropria-
tons. The fight he waged successfully
in the long session of the sixty third
congress to defeat the pork barrel
river and harbor bill was one of the
most remarkable ever made in the sem
ate. 1t earned for Burton the widest
commentator from the public without
regard to party. If his presidential
candidacy develops, the war Of Burton
on the pork barrel will be one of his
strongest assets.
Altho Burton is conservative. he has
never been considered one of the stand
pat old guard republicans of congress-
His integrity, his likeable personality
his remarkable fund of information and
his indisposition to stoop to small ma
chine politics have given him high
standing among all elements in house
and senate. He is an authority on fin
ance has written various monetary
and economic works, is a deep student
Of history and affairs and is one of the
most polished and educated men who
ever sat in the senate or the house.
How far his boom will progress re-
mains to be seen. 1t is not to be over
looked that Ohio has other republican
presidential timber in Myron Terrick
and Governor Willis. Should Burton
get the backing of Ohio his candidacy
will unquestionably become formidable.
