MUST FILE STATEMENTS

Every candidate for nomination,
whether successful or unsuccessful, at
the primary held Sept, 5th, to the fact
that within Is days after that election
he must file an itemized statement of
his election expenses.
If running for state Office, this ac-
count must be rendered to the secre-
tary Of state, and if he were a candi-
date for county Office, then it should
be filed with the county clerk.
Even if candidate expended no
money, he still is required to file a
sworn statement to that effect.
This law is very binding, for it pro
vides that Is days after the election
the secretary Of state or county clerk,
as the case may be, "shall notify the
county attorney of any failure to file
such statement on the part of any
! candidate, and within 10 days there
after such prosecuting officer shall pro-
coed to prosecute said candidate for
such offense''
! The act is mandatory, as even the
courts are given no discretion as to the
penalty to be imposed, for the law pro
vides that fine shall be assessed of
$25 for every day on which such can.
didate is in defalut Of making his
| statement.
Frequently after person has run
for office and been defeated he dis
misses the whole matter from his
mind, but this he cannot do under the
corrupt practices act until he has sworn
to statement of his expenditures or
made oath that he did not expend any
sum for election purposes.

HIGHWAY ROAD BUILDING.

In the write-up in the statesman's
New Years edition the work OF the
highway commission for the year
was given. Construction in Ada
county was as follows;
From the point one milewest OF
Regena at the county line the high
way extends northwesterly about 20
miles to Boise. Some work has been
done on this 20 miles. but none OF
II Is completed. The estimated cost
OF this portion Is twenty-five thou
sand dollars. From Boise to Meridian
the road was built by Ada county,
with part Of the two hundred thou
sand dollar bond issue voted by the
people of this county three years ago.
This portion has been taken over by
the state highway commission as a
part OF the state highway. From Me-
ridian west four miles to the Canyon
county line,the road has been graded
and surfaced with gravel at cost OF
about thirteen thousand dollars"
