An Unpopular Administration

If public sentiment continues
long in its present trend it is an
assured fact that Governor Alex
ander will soon gain the reputation
of being the most unpopular exec
utive ever in power in Idaho. 1t
is most surprising to find, first
hand, that this sentiment is strong
in southern Idaho and especially
strong in the Governor home
town of Boise. Aud the feeling
against the Governor does not come
from any one certain little clique
Of politicians, of wet advocates, of
business men, of capitalists or of
laborers. 1t seems to be strong
among all classes.
This condition is all the more
strange when one takes in account
how faithfully the Governor has
kept his ear to the ground and
how faithfully he has courted pub
lie favor.
Maybe the unfortunate impress
sion the Governor is making is
coming about through the over
doses of highly favored con"
which Mr.. Alexander insists on
peddling upon every possible occa-
sion. Perhaps because it is be-
cause of the lack of natural ability
to Undue his speeches before public
gatherings with tint of sincerity.
Maybe it is his too evident, too
ardent wooing of public favor.
At any rate the public is looking
upon the acts of the present ad-
ministration as grandstand plays.
The public is quick to note the in
sincerity of every act and the re-
vulsion of feeling is sure to come
in all parts of the state even as it
is predominant in Boundary
county.

Why Did the Herald Put Its Bid So
High?

Why didn the Herald put IN an
extremely low bid; offer to do the
printing for nothing so that it
could roast the county commission
ers if they let the contract to a
democratic paper?
These are materially the ques-
tons which have been asked the
management of the Herald the
past few days in regard to the bid
made by the Herald for the county
printing of Boundary county. Some
of our friends feared that credence
might be given to the rumor that
the Herald had placed its bid high
in order to protect the high bid of
the Kootenai Valley Times.
The Herald desires to correct
any wrong impressions along this
line. In the first place a rule
which has rarely been broken in
politics is, To the victor belongs
the spoils." AT no time did the
Herald ever entertain a suspicion
that it could hope to secure the
county printing from the demo-
cratic commissioners of Boundary
county. The rule mentioned above
works both ways. 1t is fair enough
so long as representatives of parties
in power do not abuse it by insist
ing upon extremely high prices.
With a democratic administration
in power and two democratic
papers competing for favor, it
seemed to the management of the
Herald that it was the wiser course
to persue to put in its bid at this
time at the highest notch and then
when a republican administration
was in power the prices asked for
county printing could be lowered
to a conservative figure. The Her
aid might have neglected to bid at
all or perhaps it would have been
perfectly safe in putting in a bid
at far below what the work could
be done for. In the latter instance
the Herald would have been in a
position to hypocritically hole"
and look to the public for sympa-
thy and condolences.
AS to the outcome of the county
printing squabble, the Herald does
not feel called upon at this time to
pass any remarks. We are frank
in saying, however, that IS cents
for publishing commissioners pro-
ceedings was too high and are just
as frank in protesting against the
business judgment of newspaper
that offers to do work, for which
it is legitimately entitled to com
pensation, for nothing. The fight
between the Times and the Critic
will furnish excellent campaign
material for the republicans wher
the time is ripe. For the presen
we have carefully preserved al
data, labeled it Exhibit AZ anC
carefully filed it away.
In the rs years of its existenc
in this territory the Boomers Ferr,
Herald has never placed itself in
position where it could be accused
of exorbitant prices in the work j
has done for individuals, state
county, city or school district ant
when the time arrives that tn
Herald considers it is entitled +
consideration in bidding for tn
county printing of Boundary coun
ty, its bid will be placed at tn
lowest figure which will permit
conservative profit.

With the exception of what might
be called the big tax payers Of the
state the attendance at the meetings Of
the various boards Of equalization Of
the state is very low, according to re-
ports coming into Olympia. In few
OF the counties where there are tax
payers organizations more interest is
exhibited, but as rule the taxpayers
OF the state are displaying very little
interest, altho the meetings have been
widely advertised. With the slash OF
approximately 100000 made from
the state budget by the last Legislature
there is a good opportunity for greatly
reducing the taxes in Washington for
next year if the taxpayers OF the state
would turn out and see that the various
county, city and school district budgets
were kept down to an economical
basis. However. the officials are OF
the opinion that when the time comes
Tor the final consideration OF the var
ious budgets that many Of the taxpay-
ers and representatives Of leagues will
appear at the meetings.
