making one department responsible
10 another, leading up to a general
head which will enable the state to
show Its exact financial condition al
the close OF business every day. This
Is nothing more than is being prao-
ticed by banks, trust companies, rail-
roads, insurance companies, and all
business corporations throughout the
United States. The number Of de-
partments In the states business IL
small In comparison with the number
Of departments in the large CONNER
cial institutions of Dur land, and there
Is no reason why We cannot show our
financial condition with as much ac-
curacy and dispatch as commercial
institutions now do. Cooperation and
team work among departments OF
state is to be encouraged In order to
secure the greatest efficiency and best
results. No business concern would
tolerate an Independent and different
system In its various departments but
would insist upon uniformity which
would lead to one general head.

judge whether an applicant for q
loan . meet his payments than
q stranger. They are, therefore,
better qualified TO make an APP
praisement and pass upon the
safety Of q loan than q stranger.
Having the records before them, they
can make appraisements without de-
lay and without cost TO either the
state or to borrowers and at any time
of the year, whether the land offer
ed as security is covered by snow or
not. This would obviate delays In
closing loans. There Is a demand for
many times the amount of money the
state can for years supply, and there
is no reason why from 100000 to
100000 should be kept in banks
drawing 81 per cen when farmers
and stockmen need this money and
would gladly pay six per cent for 1t.
Appraisements should be made by the
commissioners. the applications being

be passed upon by county attorneys,
and submitted to the state land board
with the application. Delay would
thus be eliminated.
To eliminate favoritism, applications
should be numbered as received by the
registrar of the state land board, and
acted upon In the order of their num-
Der. If there should be no funds i'm
mediately available, the board could
grant the loan subject to the receipt
OF funds, and issue to the applicant a
statement setting forth the fact that
his loan had been granted and stating
the date when money would probably
be available. In cases Of emergency
the borrower could direct the payment
OF the money to some bank and from
such bank receive part or all of his
loan for immediate needs.
The loan made, hold the county re-
sponsible for the payment Of the prin-
cipal and collect the interest as taxes,
and remit 1t without cost. This will
insure the payment of interest when
due, prevent excessive appraisements
and secure absolute safety for every
dollar loaned. 1t will prevent the
clouding Of the states title by tax
sales and eliminate the expense OF
looking after loans. All dealings will
be with county officials instead Of with
individuals, which will materially
tighten and simplify the work of the
state land department. Under the
present system the state land board
can not intelligently transact the bust.

System Of
Making Appraisements
County Commissioners Should Make
Appraisements, Expediting Closing
Loans and Saving Borrowers the
One Per Cent Appraisement Fec
Now Paid by Them.

Our system Of appraisements for
loans and OF collecting interest should
be changed. The present system is
unnecessarily expensive, slow In oper-
alton to the point of evaporation to
borrowers, and lacking in absolute
safety. Appraisements are now made
by appointees of the state land
board. When applications for loans
are received they go through a regu-
lar routine and long periods often pass
before an appraisement is made. Then
a long delay in examining and approx
ing title often follows. When the
ground is covered with snow an intel
ligent appraisement cannot be made
by an appraiser who is not personally
familiar with the land involved.
There Is no valid reason why
borrowers should be charged one
per cent OF the amount they bOr-
row to cover the cost Of a~ppraise-
ment, because appraisements can
be made without mourning ex-
pense. The records in the Of
lice OF every county assessor give
a full and complete description of
each tract Of land, Its classified
ton, n its assessed value. The
commissioners in sitting as a
board Of equalization, practically
make an apPraisement Of each
tract each year. In assessing the
the assessor does likewise. These
officials have a better knowledge
OF values than any stranger can
have. They are better able to

FISH AND GAME DEPARTMENT.
Commission Should BE Created and
Department Taken Out OF Politics.

The fish and game department is
supported from the sale Of fishing and
hunting licenses. Not one dollar Of
taxes goes toward it's support. Only
those who fish and hunt contribute
in any way toward the support OF the
department. The receipts Of the de-
partment are upward Of $4,000 a year
and are set apart for the propagation
Of fish and the protection Of game. The
sportsmen and recreation seekers who
provide the fund are entitled TO the
best service that can be given. The
propagation OF fish a not be sue
cessfully carried on without years OF
training and experience. The protec-
lion Of fish and game calls for the
same qualities that a police officer

The interest saving would result
from lowering the present average
rate Of nine per cent to six per cent.
The amortization plan of payments
should be adopted, whereby both prin-
cipal and interest would be liquidated
by smaller annual payments than are
% paid as interest alone. These
payments might be either annual or
semi-annuel, at not more than eight
per cent. Both principal and interest
of a thousand dollar loan would be
liquidated by the payment Of $50
a year for twenty-three years, and
$3.50 on the twenty-fourth year.
These payments would give the state
six per cent interest on the gradually
reduced principal, the difference be-
tween the interest and the $50 annual
payment being applied to reduce the
principal. On a loan of $1,000, the
amounts paid as principal and interest
would be as follows:

TABLE No. 8.

To be content with declarations for law enforcement,
economy, a business administration of the states affairs
md for a high standard of pub lie service is not enough.
All good citizens favor these things, and no candidate is
worthy of support who does not favor them. Commend
ible as they are, they alone will not bring relief to the
people of the state. Constructive legislation and the util-
ization of our resources to reduce the burdens of govern
ment are essential factors that can not be overlooked.

State boards and departments Gre
ated to promote the development of
the live stock, horticultural and other
industries of the state should be re-
move from political domination.
Those engaged in such industries, be-
ing the only mes vitality concerned,
should be given a larger measure of
control of the departments created to
advance their welfare than they now
have. Fitness to discharge the duties
devolving upon the heads of such de-
partments should be the standard by
which all applicants are measured.
The splendid work done by DR.. W. A.
Sullivan and assistants in eradication
OF hog cholera in southern Idaho is
an example of efficiency that might
we'll be taken as a model. The state
veterinarian should be a graduate of a
recognized school and the most cap
able man that can be secured. The
horticultural, livestock and irrigation
interests are too vital to be made to
pay the political debts of any execu-
tive. Those engaged in these indus
tries are the only ones vitality inter-
ested and practically the only ones
interested at all in the administra-
ton of the affairs affecting them,
They know the kind Of service need
ed, and have a right to a voice in
the selection of the men who admin
lister to their needs.
Irrigation will serve AS an IL
lustrati0n. The irrigation indus
try Is one Of IdahO's greatest as
sets. Its problems are many and
complex, and the welfare Of many
people Is involved In the dis
trfbuting Of water, and In the de-
partment which supervises It's
distribution. Water users know
their requirements better than
anyone else, certainly better than
anyone not connected with irri-
cation at all, and have q right TO

who have 10 do with the distri-
button Of the water upon which
their success depends. Who else

State lands sold from the beginning until now have
averaged about $3.50 per acre. The present average is
much higher. When it becomes known that Idaho has
adopted a policy leading to freedom from tax burdens, a
nation wide demand for Idaho land will follow. By re-
quiring only a small cash payment, with long time, a low
rate of interest and easy payments on the amortization

Twelve dollars at six per cent compound interest will
amount to Sl92 in forty-eight years. Now multiply $192
by 3,179,O44 and it will give the combined principal and
