stop to this outrage. Then what will
Gilbert and other districts, with their
$3.50 or less road funds, do for roads?
The incoming county board is pledged
to give the Elk River districts a
square deal. 1t is right and just that
this pledge should be kept to the let
ter, and this article is written with
view of directing public attention to
the facts, that districts that have
been hogging the road funds may take
a tumble and let up. Also with the
hope that justice may prevail, and
that without howl that the county
commissioners are favoring the Elk
River and Dent districts. If there
are those who feel inclined to contin-
ue the old policy of milking the Elk
River and Dent sections for our bene-
fit let them stop and do little seri
Gus thinking.

THE END OF The ROPE,

Laying aside politics let this fact
be driven home. The Elk River Sec
tion demands justice in the matter of
road funds, and proposes to get it.
Elk River is willing to forget past
injustice but further abuse will end
county. The Gilbert district has been
getting 5000 or more per year on
roads and contributing less than one.
tenth of that in taxes. Gilbert road
district has absorbed thousands and
thousands of dollars of road funds
that have been raised in the north end
of the county, while the Dent and Elk
River sections have had comparatively
nothing.
Elk River has stood this about as
long as the people propose to submit
to it. Their next move will be an
independent road district, such as
Pierce has, and no power within the
county can stop it. What then, may
we inquire, will the Gilbert district
do? And Gilbert is only one of sew
eral road districts that have been
building roads at the expense of the
north and east end of the county.
| 1t is rumored that Gilbert even now
is planning for fourth county road
down the hill to Orofino. Evident
ly there is to be increased demands
| on the county road funds, a continual
tion of the policy of milking the Elk
River section for the benefit of dis
tricts in this end Of the county.
The Republican editor talked with
one group of five men in Elk River
and all five said they wanted to buy
automobiles, and expected the county
to see that their section had roads that
would enable Elk River citizens to
reach the outside world. Their crying
need today is wagon road west to
the county line connecting with the
Latah county road to Bovill, an outlet
to Spokane and the outside world.
The Elk River people are not asking
for this, but demanding it, and will
brook no further delay. Let the peo-
pie continue to ignore Elk River and
Elk River will wake up, organize ar

Aside from the Weippe Herald's
attack on County Attorney Smith the
county campaign just closed was the
cleanest, without doubt, ever pulled
off in this county. Reviewing the
campaign one must marvel at the
high plane maintained by both sides
so far as candidates were concerned.
We are not aware that Clint Perkins
ever said word rejecting on his op-
ponent, and Sheriff Sullivan did not
talk about Mr.. Perkins. The Clear
water Republican avoided all person
al attacks up Mr.. Perkins and others.
We did deplore the fact that the op-
position candidates were running on a
Blake ticket, and commended that that
alone untitled them for public SER
vice. That was a vital point, and
and it is source of qualification that
the fight was conducted without per-
sonal vil'ifcation. The republicans
never attacked MIR. Blevins, Mr..
Detmer or Mr.. Perkins personally.
Always was it admitted that they
were decent, clean citizens, but unfit
ted for the public service because of
the fact that they were running on a
ticket nominated by Jim Blake.
1t was a campaign, not between dem
ocrats ard republicans, but a cam
paign of good citizenship, wherein
decel democracy was on trial, and
good government won. Decent demo-
Gratis helped to make victory impos-
sible for those who are unworthy,
and who, judged by their public rec
ords, are in politics for revenue only.
As was true two years ago, SO it is
true now, that the victory of Tuesday
was not republican victory. but q
victory of the people over a Blake
machine. The people triumphed.

Looking back three years one has to
admit that Orofino has made very
substantial growth. We have paved
the principal business street; several
new brick blocks have been erected,
and plans for greater improvements
are being made for the future. The
roads leading into Orofino are little
better, and the volume of trade
larger. We are quite sure there is
more unity of purpose among our citi-
zens, more determination to work to-
gether, and that the coming two years
will bring about greater growth.

Orofno gets mill or it be located at
some other point is not as important
a that a mill or several mills may be

We need industries that will afford

We want ten million dollars worth
of new railroads and mills and factor
les that will increase our taxable
wealth, enable the construction of

better schools, hospitals and other
modern necessities. We want larger

more business in Clearwater county,
which will mean increased prosperity

In this country we are now on a
practical free trade basis. The gates
are opea, the bars are down to all
foreigners in nearly all our indus
tries. After the war is over there is
going to be an immense effort to re-
capture markets. European countries
will bar each other, and the United
States will be the prey of all trade
promoters abroad. We were never
more poorly prepared to meet such an
invasion. We are as poorly prepared
to fight industriously as we are mil
itarily. The present administration
realizes the situation and it has tried
to hedge here and there on the tariff
But what the American people want
is complete revision of the tariff
along the lines of protection, and
that is possible only from the party
that believes in protection now, as
always, the republican party. This
issue of the tariff is paramount-it
