ALEXANDER TRIES TO
MAKE CAPITAL OF
HST|C AFFAIR

Boise, Idaho.-The attempt of Alex
ander's side to make political capital
out of the scrap between c. O. Broxon,
who is the governors private secre-
tary and also editor of the Capital
News, and John w. Shook, warden of
the penitentiary, has fallen flat here.
BroNon, as editor of the Capital
News, had villified Shook in that
paper and Shook resented it. The men
came to blows. 1t is question of
veracity between the two men as to
who struck the first blow. Shook says
he did not call Broxon to account be-
cause Broxon was the governors Sec
rotary. but because of the matter he
had printed as editor of the Capital
News. He felt his personal honor had
been attacked without warrant
Even Governor Alexander had
stated that the penitentiary had been
run by Shook efficiently and economi-
cally. He could hardly say less when
Warden Shook had materially reduced
the running cost, with thirty per cent
increase in the number of inmates.
The real motive behind Editor
Broxon's attack on Shook was the
Capital News opposition to Secretary
of State Barker, who is recognized as
most capable official. Mr.. Barker
says that as secretary of the state he
repeatedly refused to give the Capital
News any printing from his depart
ment, sending it to Republican news
paper instead, and pointing out that all
the Democratic printing of the state
house had gone to the Capital News
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1916-11-03

The secretary of state had also been
represented as saying that when Gov
ernor Alexander approved the pay
ment of the salary of the editor of the
Capital News out of the state treasury
under the guise of paying it for his
secretary it at least Appropriated mis-
appropriation of the public funds. The
Capital News thereupon went after
Barker bitterly, and recently attempt
ed to stab him over Shocks shoulder,
the secretary of state being a member
of the prison board.
The row between the two men oc-
Cured near the office of the secretary
of state, and, as understood, Mr.. Bar
err stepped out to see what the trouble
was about. The Capital News at once
attempted to connect him with it. The
whole thing was merely personal
quarrel between Broxon as editor and
Shook, and has no official significance
whatever.

SAYS DAVIS
DID NOT EXPRESS GLEE

Joe Dunn and c. C. Moberly. the
two BARRIERS operating the barber shop
at Shoshone in which the Boise even
ing newspaper declares that D. w.
Davis voiced satisfaction over the Fri
day night encounter between John W..
Shook and C. o. Broxon, signed an
affidavit at Shoshone on Monday read
ing as follows:
Relative to the report published
that d. w. Davis, Republican nominee
for governor, stated in barber shop
in Shoshone Saturday that he ap-
proved the action of Shook in making
an assault on Broxin, private secretary
to the governor, and that Davis felt
like wiring Shook his congratulations,
we emphatically deny that Mr.. Davis
made the remarks attributed to him,
or used any language of like import.
F. w. Gooding came into the barber
shop at the time Mr.. Davis was there.
and Mr.. Gooding did make such re-
marks and expressed approval of the
act of Mr.. Shook"

$l31, 524.22.
The reduced levies made by the
present administration in 1915 and in
1916, does not produce revenue enough
to pay the cost of county government
by the amount stated above; shown
by the table which is compiled from
the county records. The present
status of Canyon County must be a
payers and property owners of the
county. Two years more Of such ad-
ministration will necessitate bond is
sues to defrav the ordinary expenses
of government.
Frenzied Finance.
In order to make a showing the tax
levy has been reduced by the present
administration. The reduced levy is
only temporary because, with all OF
their so-called economy, the expendi-
lures are much greater than the reve-
nue.. Any man knows that this can
not 60 along indefinitely without grief
and financial embarrassment. Is it
the part of wisdom, of ordinary sense,
to reduce the levy one year and make
it up the next? Such action may be
good Democratic politics. 1t most
certainly is not sound business
methods.
Of such is our present Democratic
county economy. The records tell the
story. 1t tells a story of short
sighted administration; of administra-
ton that has utterly failed to keep its
promises to reduce the cost of gov
eminent. The taxpayers must keep in
mind this one fact that levy which
is too small this year must be made up
next year. A low levy, under the
present administration, simply post
Ipones the evil day. Instead of paying
cash day by day the county is run
ming up book account to be paid at a
future date.
Such economy may appeal to the
property owners of Canyon County
but we do not believe that it will. Il
is kind of Misrepresentation which
needs only to be seen to be realized.
. We ask the reader to compare the
funds as they were in 1914 when the
Republicans were in administration
, and the same funds today. If yor
were hiring a foreman, or overseer Oh
, manager for your farm or bushes!
would you hire man who kept hi!
, affairs on a sound basis, or a maj
who was always on the ragged edge
Would you hire a man who expected
, to pay as he went and by homes
dollars, or, man who was everlast
ingly trying to postpone the evil da,
, by juggling with his figures? Take i
home to yourself and your own af
fairs. That is all that the taxpayel
need to do.
