RIGHT OR WRONG-WHO?

RIGHT OR WRONG-WHO?
The Grangeville Globe has been
going to considerable pains of
late in raking Governor Alexan-
der over the editorial Goals for
his veto of the Salmon river
bridge bill and evidently assumes
that the statements made by the
governor in his veto message are
entirely wrong and that made
by Senatsr Sweet, and the figures
quoted by the latter, in the sem
ate the day after the veto are
entirely correct. The Chronicle
has no special desire to pick a
crow with the Globe over this
matter, as we fully realize how
dear to the hearts of certain
Grangeville citizens was that
same Salmon river bill and how
necessary to their future success
and the carrying out of their
promises was its passage and ap-
proval, but since the bill met an
unkind fate, along with many
others of equal merit, we can see
no benefit in bemeaning the gov
ernor for his action and accusing
him of false statements and mis-
represen tation when the figures
he quoted in his veto message
were really more correct than
those quoted by Senator Sweet
in his attack on the governor,
and which have been used by the
Globe in prolonging the con-
troversy.
In saying in his veto message
that Idaho county raised only
$5,O98 Al in the year 1913 for
road and bridge purposes the
governor was substantially cor
rect and undoubtedly took as his
authority the annual financial re-
port of J. A. Bradbury, county
auditor of this county, for the
fiscal year ending April 6, 1914
This report gives the sum OF
S5153.S8 as the total levy for road
and bridge purposes made by the
county that year, which is only q
few dollars more than the amount
named by the governor. How
ever, the governor did not include
the private levits made by the
independent highway districts
land there is some doubt about
these levies being a correct coun.
ty charged, which bring the tota
levy for roads and bridges up tt
about the amount claimed by
Senator Sweet.
On the other hand, the levies
quoted by Senator Sweet in the
senate are either radically wong
or the financial report of our then
county auditor is incorrect, and
we prefer to believe the former
to be the case. For comparison
Auditor Bradbury gives a levy OF
4 mills for road and bridge pur.
poses in this county for the year
1912 Exclusive of highway dis.
trict levies) while Senator Sweet
quotes the levy as a trihe over
70 mills. The auditor gives the
state levy as 26 mills and the
county current expense levy as
"a mills, while our senator gives
the state levy as 21.82 mills and
the county levy as 20 mills. Our
school levy, according to the re-
port, was % mills; Senator Sweet
gives it as 81. 80 mills. Our war
rant redemption levy was 38
mills, according to Auditor Brad
bury, while the senator drops it
way down to 7.27 mills. Some
difference.
The Chronicle does not mean
to imply that Senator Sweet
made these statements knowingly
and wilfully, being aware OF
their incorrectness at the time,
but we do believe that he was

aALIAs Jimmy vAlENrINE.n

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" Paul Arm
strong's famous play, was the attraction
az The Playhouse last evening, and will
continue for the remainder of the week
with matinees on Wednesday and Sat
urday. There Il no doubt that in this
play the stock company has made the
biggest hit of the present season. Not
only is the play excellent, but the mem-
bers Of the company nc into IL as
though it was made for them. The cast
is large enough TO bring out the entire
strength of the company and every
member has an opportunity to show
good acting.
William Ingersoll, the now leading
man Of the company, Is Jimmy Nalen'
tine, and gives a splendid portrayal OF
man who has made a mistake but il
trying 10 live proper life and is IN
every way hampered by those who are
seeking 10 make him reveal his identity
Mr.. Ingersoll is a decidedly clever actor
and his work in this play is at all time
excellent. but ne is particularly stron.
where he is compelled 60 open a safe e

Miss Edna Hibbard is the Rose Ian
of the piece. She is the girl for whom
Jimmy Valentine is cndeavoring TO d

serious character than any in whic
Miss Hibbard has been seen here, hu
she makes the best Of every opportunit,
and made a decided hit with the audi

parts which she has played is Away
natural and is the more effective to
that reason. Miss Jean Adair and Mis-
Vira Rial both do excellently In thu
roles of Mrs. Webster and Mrs Moore
