HOW NOSE SAVED
A MILLION PLUNKS
Boise, May II, 1915

Boise, May IL, 1916
Special to the Examiner.
Since Governor Alexander an
nounced that he had saved the state
q million dollars in its current ex-
penses through his veto power, the
most scrutinizing study has been
given his claim in all sections Of the
state, and leading members Of his
own party, as well as republicans,
ridicule the governors itemized
statement, and point to various items
showing its absurdity. Nowhere
has it inspired confidence, for care
full analysis of his claim of having
saved the state a million dollars
abundantly proves it's extreme falla-
cy, and there is increasing surprise
that the governor should have thot
the people of the state ignorant
enough to attach belief to It. Only
by the iugglery of figures with an
unfair purpose could such an esti-
mate have been made, and through
its unfairness, the governor has suf-
fered aloss of confidence even among
those who had previously credited
him with sincerity Of purpose. Illus
trative Of this jugglery of facts and
figures which could but have been
intended to deceive the people Of the
state for political effect, 1t is to be
NOTED that Governor Alexander
charged Governor Haines with state
highway bonds in the sum of two
hundred thousand dollars, sold since
Alexander was elected governor, and
chargable to his own account which
would take away from his estimated
saving the sum Of four hundred thou
sand dollars. In the same manner
he charged the Haines administers
ton with the one hundred thousand
dollars appropriation for the Frisco
exposition. the greater part Of which
will be expended under his own ad.
ministration. With similar injustice
he charged to Governor Haines sever
thousand FIVE hundred dollars for ths
silver service Of the battleship Ida
ho", which was contracted for dur
ing Governor Hawley's administra

state departments under Governor
Haines administration and turned
back by them into the state treasury
at the termination Of the Haines ad-
ministration. In the same manner
he charged the Haines administration
with other state bond issues as cur
rent expense which were not payable
for long years. Then he credited his
own administration with appropria-
tions vetoed In part amounting to
about thirty-three thousand dollars
which the attorney general has de-
cided was illegal. These several mis-
takes take away from the governors
estimate Of q million dollars saving
over nine hundred thousand dollars,
and It ID generally conceded that II
he has saved any sum whatever, It
has been at the cost of the educa-
tional institutions of the state, and
that inefficiency will be the result.
Wide awake to the best interests
of the state at all times, State
Treasurer, John Eagleson, is accomp-
fishing q constant saving to the tax
payers of the state. Through the
installation of state scales at a cost
Of 1886. he has saved the state the
amount of their cost in the purchase
of coal for the state house this year,
paying $3.50 per ton, a reduction Of
thirty cents on the ton compared
with the cost of coal last year. The
real saving, however, will amount
TO greater sum as the state Is now
assured Of receiving full value Of
its purchases.
Recognizing that Gov. AIexander's
advocacy Of : north and south rail-
road Is purely political buncombe,
the newspapers of the state are
commenting upon It in an amusing
vein. They point out that all an
extra session Of the legislature could
accomplish In this direction, ever
though the governor should call one
would be the submission Of a consti.
tntional amendment to be voted up
on at the next general election per
hitting the state to bond for sever
or eight million dollars for the con
struction Of the road, the interest
on which bonds would approximat,
the sum Of two hundred THOUSAND
dollars year. The governor ap

Perhaps one might not expect to find
in vaudeville theatre an indication os
how a community feels towards the
President of the United States. but one
of the actors at the New Portland last
week must have decided that he was
not in Democratic stronghold He
made great hit with a topical song
responding to several encores which were
loudly encored. Finally he sang a verse
which, doubtless, he planned to be his
most telling one. 1t had to do with the
war and the serious problems this Coun-
try may encounter in keeping out of the
miX-up. The climax OF the verse was
reached in the last line or two which
was to the effect that in President Will
son We fortunately have President
wise enough to keep the good old L. S.

greeted this effort was painful Perhaps
it Is needless to add that the singer
found no necessity for another verse

Boozes Ashamed Of Each Other.

According to Information now available
the beer interests have determined to
get from UNDER; they have made up
their minds that the time has come when
they must object to being lined up with
the whiskey interests. 1t is therefore as
serted that when Congress next takes
up the proposed constitutional amend
ment-a date in all probability not far
distant-the whiskey people will be found
going it alone. while the makers of beer
will be advocating the adoption OF a
constitutional amendment permitting the
manufacture and sale of standard beer
and light wines. In other words, the
makers of beer, from the point of view
of the radical temperance people. are
getting in position where it may be pos
sible for them to save something out
OF the wreck. Washington Correspond
ence of the Boston Transcript.
We don't blame the beer interests
for being ashamed of their associate,
the whiskey trust. And we don't
blame the distillers for being ashamed
Of the brewers. Both have reason 10
be ashamed, and all intelligent people
are ashamed of both. But when these
great selfish. immoral businesses be-
come ashamed of each other there's 4
growing hope for decency.

Then and Now

Today. California has produced
approximately two billion dollars
in gold. the governments incom-
plete records placing the sum at
about s1.7O0,OO0. 900. The high
mark was reached in 1856 with
$57,509,411. The present output
is about $21.000,00O annually.
Notwithstanding efforts on the
part Of Suffer and Marshall to
suppress it. news Of the discovery
soon leaked out and by midsum-
mer Of 1s4s virtually the whole
California populace had turned to
old-seeking. The treasure was
found everywhere, in the hills and
gulches. for 800 miles along the
Sierras. Nuggets worth from 81
to $4,000 were Of common occur
renee. 1t is estimated that ten
million dollars had been scooped
up by the close of 1SiS, before the
mighty thrush from the east set
in. The early gold seekers, hav-
ing no knowledge of mining or
metallurgy, believed that the de-
posts had washed down from a
common source, high in the
Sierras-a mountain of pure gold
and scores of expectations to
search for it were undertaken.
Gold quartz, discovered in 1851.
dispelled that theory. Some Of
the lodges located in that year
have been followed into the earth
slanting for distances of over a
mile and are still being worked.
During the thirty years follow
ing 1855, some 100000, 900 was
extracted from the hills of a little
group of northern countries by
the hydraulic process. This was
finally prohibited by law owing
to the huge quantities Of debris,
washed down upon the valleys.

renee in history, over 100000

sea in 1S49 alone.

Sixty-seven years ago today,
John W. Marshall, a native Of
New Jersey, discovered the first
gold in California, at ColOma, Ell
Dorado county, about forty miles
east and north Of Sacramento.
Marshall had entered into a sort
of partnership with John A. Sui
ter, Swiss, and ex-French army
officer, who had settled, nearly a
decade before, where Sacramento
now stands. and had secured from
the Mexican Government large
land grants, and who owned vast
herds and maintained hundreds Of
native retainers. Marshall was
at Coloma' developing crude
waterpower on the American river
to drive a sawmill. A long tall
race had been dug. In walking
along this tail-race early in the
afternoon Of January "a, 1S4S,
Marshall noticed some tiny, dull
yellow Jumps mingling with the
newly eXcavated earth and water.
Debating whether it was worth
while to bend his back to investi-
gate, he finally picked up several,
deciding, upon examination, that
there was a bare possibility Of
their being gold. Two or three
days later, having gathered a
small pouchful, he rode to the
Fort, as Suffers headquarters
was called, and summoned that
potentate to a mysterious confer
ence. From various crude tests
there instituted it was determined
that the Jumps We're, in truth,
nuggets of almost pure gold. Cali
fornia had been under explora-
ton for 300 years and for nearly
a century had been occupied by
Spanish. Mexicans and Ameri-
cans. There were over 1000
Americans within it's borders in
1S47. at the time the government
passed to the United States.
