covers that he is not the whole show;
that the state Legislature has some
thing to say about running Idaho, and
that the governor is not the legisla-
tive branch Of the government; that
the governor is not the judicial
branch of the state government. That
the governor is only the executive
branch, and that the various counties
of Idaho, through their elected repre-
sentatives, exercise certain functions
that it is none of the governors busi-
ness to run.
In fact, Alexanderism, or the kind
of government M. Alexander proposed
to give Idaho, is nothing more or
less than a monarchy with the
governor Gar or an emperor, MAX
ing and enforcing his own laws, and
Mr.. Alexander knew he was making
promises he could not carry out when
he told the people he would save a
million dollars year on taxes.
1t was good campaign buncombe,
and fooled enough people to elect Mr..
Alexander, who no sooner becomes
governor than he informs the people
that he CANNOT SAVE THE
PEOPLE A MILLION DOLLARS.
Nor are state taxes, admitting there
is some extravaganza, and some
crooked work that should be stopped,
the cause of any grevious burden or
the shoulders of the people of the
state. Only about So out of every
500 paid by the people is for state
purposes. Ninety-two per cent Of
our taxes are spent within the county.
So it is plain that tax reform must
commence at home. And when any
man runs over the state promising
impossible things, just to get elected
to office, he should be made to make
good or resign.
In the case of M. Alexander there
is an amusing side. He is now op
posed by many prominent democrats
Senator Day, of Latah county, fol
example, who refuse to shut up shol
and quit doing business just because
some candidate for governor saw fl
to make some silly and impossible
campaign promises. With as mucl
sense would farmer propose to rur
his farm for less money by stopping
all improvements. That was tn
kind of economy M. Alexander pro
posed. If we are going to resor
to this extreme let us close ou
colleges and save all our taxes.

Are Bound Over.

The preliminary hearing of E. B.
McElwain and Louis Lieurance,
charged with introducing liquor onto
an Indian reservation, came up for
hearing Monday before U. S. Com
missioner Merrill. Attorney Hofsted
appeared for defendants, and put up a
good defense. The county authorities
turned the case over the Uncle Sam,
and the government was represented
by Deputy U. S. Marshal Howe of
Lewiston. A barrel Of II quart bot
ties of whiskey was rolled into the
court room as evidence, and that
seemed quite sufficient evidence, in
the eyes of the presiding official, to
justify holding the accused men for
trial before the federal court in Mos
cow. Bonds were fixed at $500 for
each defendant, and these being
furnished the men were given their
liberty until court sets.

AII-Stars Get Licked.

Friday evening the High school five
took revenge and wolloped the ALL
Stars to finish. The score at the
end of the game stood "a to 16. Each
team had won a game and there was
plenty of interest and enthusiasm
during the game. The Stars were
strengthened by Roy Leeper, who did
some clever work, and because of his
superior weight and strength added
much to the interest of the contest.
The High school boys showed class.
due to the excellent training of their
coach, Prof. Reese, who participated
in the game. The first half was fast,
both teams confident of victory, and
eagerness to win was responsible for
numerous fouls. The school team
kept the lead, but were closely
pressed during the half.
The second half was less exciting
owing to the superior physical condi-
tion of the High school team, but at
no time was the game slow or lacking
in interest. There was some fine team
work and clever passing during the
contest, and the spectators were giver
plenty of fun for their money.
The All Star team was H. Bartlett
Reese, Merrill, Leeper and Pauley
and the High school F. Bartlett
Carey, Anderson, Rettig and Bues
cher.

Cant Save a Cent
Says Nose Alexander

M. Alexander is no fool. He was
no fool, neither was he ignorant Of
the laws of his state, when he can
vassed the state during the last cam
paign and shouted that he would, if
elected governor, reduce taxes a
million dollars the first year. AT
that time the gov ernor told the
people that he could do it if the
people would vote for him, and the
people did.
But the question then raised by the
Clearwater Republican, and by others,
was: "How are you going to do it,
Mr.. Alexander? Y ou are talking
through your hat. You are playing
politics. You are deceiving the
people"
But Nose Alexander kept right on
shouting: "Vote for me and l will
reduce taxes one million dollars the
first year.
MIR. Alexander went farther. He
charged the republicans with loading
the state house up with employees /;
said the state was overrun with use
less parasites, like bee inspector at
$1,000 year, and that the first thing
he would do, if the people would vote
for him, would be to 60 down into the
basement at the state capitol and
''yank" out the first guy" he came
to, and that he would keep on yanking
the guys out till he had cleaned
house, and saved that million dollars.
Will someone send us the name and
address of the first ''guy" the new
governor has yanked out?" All he
has done is to yank republican Out
and put democrat in the place OF
the republican, and then go before the
Legislature and demand that it reduce
the appropriations for the University
of Idaho and the Lewiston Normal,
and other schools enough to enable
Mr.. Alexander to save that million
dollars in taxes the first year.
In recent issue Of the Boise
Capital News, the officia organ of the
governor, Nose Alexander is quoted
as saying:
"Give me the opport tunity and the
power and I'll save this state 8
million dollars, but cannot do il
under the circumstances, my hands
being tied as they are. "
And here you have the demagoguer,
of M. Alexander's political flapdoodl'
coming out of the mouth of tn
governor himself. He suddenly dis

people desired, or what was best from
the standpoint of economy, they pro-
posed to play the game out with their
last expiring breath. They may
prolong the agony, but the gang can
not pump enough dope into the Trib-
une to force it down the throats of
the taxpayers of this county, and they
will discover this fact one Of these
days.
The case will probably go to the
supreme court for final disposition,
and in the meantime I. R. Grow and
his gang will have the pleasure of
digging up the cost of the litigation.
At best it will only work tempor-
ary hardship on the Clearwater Re-
publican, which will keep right or
doing business at the old stand.

Tribune Starts Suit.

The Orofno Tribune Publishing
Company has started suit to set aside
the action of the Clearwater county
commissioners in giving the printing
to the Republican at three cents, in
sisting that the retiring board had a
right to give the Tribune a contract
at five cents a. line, or any other sum.
The suit involves the legality of the
contract given the Orofno Tribune by
a retiring board. Geo. Tannahill ard
Mr.. Hofsted are attorneys for 1. R.
Grow. :. The Clearwater Republican,
regardless of the outco me of this suit,
will continue to pub ish all official
county news, including commits
sioners' proceedings, auditors reports,
and even the call for warrants, so
that the only possible effect the suit
may have will be the pay for the
work. Pay or no pay this paper will
be an official paper of Clearwater
county.
Back of the suit is the fine hand Of
the old gang, trying to put the Clear
water Republican out Of business. l.
R. Crow is the same old gang tool he
always has been, and the gang propose
to compel, if they can, the support Of
their organ from the pockets of the
people Of Clearwater county.
County printing was one of the
paramount issues during the last
county campaign. The people under
stood the situation, and expressed
themselves in no uncertain terms.
In the face of the will of the tax.
payers the democratic members Of the
old board, Frank Zelenka and Elmer
Torgerson, two days before their tern
of office expired, imposed upon the
people another printing contract al
twice the price it was known the
work could be purchased for. Ir
other words these men, ignoring thu
wishes of the people, and to preven
the new board from carrying ou
promises to the people, went out O.
the way in an effort to saddle on TN
backs of the taxpayers an unnecessar!
burden that would insure continues
public support Of the ir party organ
and thus perpetu ate paper for tn
gang.
The entire proceeding is but on
more step in the long period OF gan
rule in Clearwater county; but tn
last expiring kick Of grating news

ecr,on didn' I seem to care what tn

County Fair Meeting.

Inc meeting OF the county fair
Saturday was we'll attended, and some
of the kinks in the organization
Strengthened out. The committee on
reorganization brought in new con-
stitution and bylaws which was
adopted after being read. 1t provides
for treasurer and secretary, and
that bills can be paid only after be-
ing authorized by the board. The
secretary has no authority whatever
to audit or pay bills, thing, how
ever, not permitted under the old con-
stitution and bylaws, which reminds
us that there is no protection to the
people against rascals unless the
directors do their duty and enforce the
law.
AS matter of fact it is certainly
within the of power of the people to
punish for embezzlement where the
secretary or the president or any Off
GER of the county fair spends cent of
the funds contrary to the constitution
and bylaws, except where the di-
rectors, as they have done here, meet
afterwards and accept the mess. In
stead of accepting the report of l. R.
Crow he should have been arrested
and punished.
John P. Mix and H. H. Bockius
were unanimously elected directors to
succeed l. r. Crow and Frank Zelen-
ka. The new board will name a
treasurer, secretary and such other
officers as are deemed necessary to in
sure good county fair.
The new constitution prohibits the
contracting of debts, and the treas
urer and possibly the secretary will
be required to give the association &
bond.
Ike Dunlap expressed the senti
ments of the people when he said al
the meeting: '"The people are tiret
of the way things have been carried
on" Hereafter premiums will b,
paid, and the fair run for the benefit
of the people rather than side ISSUE
for the Orofino Tribune.
The committee appointed montl
ago to audit the books and account
of the secretary, l. R. Grow, reporte'
that they were refused the books ex
cept they come to the Tribune Office
and Mr.. Hinckley said it was not con
venient for the committee to do this
that they were all busy, and could 6
over the books and records only at cd
times. Mr.. Crow appeared to b
very fearful of something and Al
torney Hofsted asked that the book
be given to the custody of the count
. auditor where thoes interested coul
see them. The committee was n
tanned and will make a report later
When Mr.. Crow took the secretary
ship two years ago some $3.50 and r
debts were turned over to him. Tw
years and he has all but disrupted tn
fair, has debt of several hundre
, dollars for the new association I

years are generally unpaid, whi

County Treasurer Orin Crockett
is keeping his campaign promise
relative to the depositing of county
funds. He is obeying the law, and
every cent of the peoples money is
drawing interest, u per cent on daily
balances. The banks were eager to
get the money, including one in
Lewiston, and the people will receive
the benefits of whatever interest due
from the public deposits. This is the
same policy followed so successfully
in Latah county. Good for Mr..
Crockett.

Orofino will probably have a good
ball team the coming season, judging
from present interest in the national

Deputy Sheriff Ernest Jewell and
Clarence Swank for pitchers, Roy
Leeper for catcher, and number of

A Sad Death.

One of the saddest deaths it has

chronicle during the past year is that

who died Wednesday morning in a

the loss of this son is particularly
sad.
