ALEXANDER, GOVERNOR IDAHO, SAVED ONE
MILLION PEEPUI," UNDERSTAND

tacit understanding that at the COM
ing session of the legislature the one
third of the expense owing from the
state would be taken up by a state
bond issue. In this way it is claimed
that under the governors direct in
fluence and control the credit of the
state has been pledged to an amount
exceeding half million dollars, and
which may properly be classed as a
delinquency in the payment of state
expenses.
No one attempts to say that the
roads built, if properly constructed,
are not an asset to the people of the
state. 1t is only claimed that under
the agreement entered into between
the people Of the improved districts
and the governor and his henchmen, a
state debt has been created which
must be added to the cost of state
government during the years of Alex
ander's administration and when so
added will make this one of the most
expensive administrations the state
has ever known.

Campaigning at Taxpayers Expense.

Game Warden Jones is an ap-
pointee of Governor Alexander.
Game Warden Jones, who during the
past two years. has been like Shake
speare's player, the actor in many
parts, it is reported has just returned
to Boise from an ostensible trip on
"official business to the Salmon
River region in the vicinity of
Yankee Fork. At this place about
forty years or more ago an ambitious
miner put in a dam in the Salmon
River for mining purposes. The dam
has not been in use for many years, is
purely an obstruction to the stream,
and should have long ago been re-
moved. Year ago fish ladder was
put in here, and since that time has
been washed out yearly, being re-
placed just as regularly. Several
years ago when o. H. Barber was the
game warden, he had report of the
situation in which it was recon-

year, and he was unfair and unscrup-
ulous enough to impose on the insane
of the state to make good.
Remember the Orofino asylum is
helpless to obey the law and power

state sanitary inspectors.

Let the fathers and mothers of

Governor Nose Alexander vetoed
$1,000 appropriated by the Legislature
to provide sanitary facilities for

Saves" $1,000 at Expense of the Insane.
JUST REMEMBER

Just remember that Governor Alex
ander vetoed $1,000 appropriation
passed by the Legislature to provide
sanitary slaughtering facilities for
the Orofino state sanitarium.
Remember that the Idaho state san
tary inspectors have condemned the
methods imposed on the state asylum
as unsanitary, and that the state
would arrest and fine any private
citizen, any butcher, who slaughtered
under the conditions imposed on 300
helpless dependents of the great state
of Idaho by Governor Nose Alexander,
whose only excuse for vetoing this
appropriation was that he had made p
fool campaign promise that he could
save the people million dollars a

mended that someone walking along
by the dam should have package of
dynamite with lighted fuse, and at
the proper moment should stub his
toe.
Game Warden Jones, Governor
Alexander's appointee, does not feel
that way about it. The existence of
the dam and the destroyed fish ladder
gives him an excellent excu for a
political visitation. That is the kind
of trip he has just made in his
brand new car, purchased by the
state, run with state gasoline, oil and
tires), and during which he distrib-
uted many thousands of lithrographs
and pieces of democratic literature,
and thousands of Wilson buttons. He
billed Governor Alexander for four
teen speeches in Custer and Lemhi
coounty during his fish ladder in
spection trip. Jones was closely fol-
lowed by the chief executive, who in
his speeches made much of savings
in state government accomplished by
himself. The governor neglected to
mention the expense entailed upon
the state by Jones useless advance
visit.

The Elk River Sentinel sizes up the
political situation in Clearwater
county in the following decidedly able
and comprehensive manner:
Clearwater county is now becoming
reasonably well-managed business
institution and its policies will be
better conducted in the next two
years than in the two past as the
policies and principals now in effect
are strengthened and attended by
the county commiss o 'ers.
The present board has brought the
cost of running the county down from
total of about $3.50, 900 year to a
total of about $3.50, 600 without i'm
pairing the effectiveness of the work
done.
| In fact the improvement is much
greater than shown because the com
missoners have no control ovel half
the expenses of the county. They
have almost nothing to do with the
expenditures of the various school
districts, the highway districts, etc.
They have nothing to do whatever
with the salaries and expenses of
the various county officials. They
cannot even wholly control the num-
ber and pay of deputies because any
official who is not given the help
nel ded to handle the work can go in
TO court and get an order for them
at reasonable scale of pay. They
have nothing to do with court costs
except provide the money to pay
them.
That the present board has beer
able and willing to save every mar
in the county more than third OF
his taxes within the limited fielo
over which it has control is remark.
ably creditable to them. 1t shows
willingness to do right al d that is

Alexander Piling Up Debts.

The claim of Governor Alexander
as to the enormous saving in state
government brought about thru his
action is being daily exploded. 1t is
being pointed out that savings have
been inaugurated in every department
of the government controlled by the
republican officials, while at the same
time departments under the control of
democratic appointees Of the governor
are costing more during the present
two years term than ever before.
The falsity of the saving claim has
been made particularly evident by the
developments in connection with the
work of the state highway engineer
and the state highway commission.
The engineer and the commissioners
are appointees of the governor. I'm
der the law where state highways are
constructed one-third of the expense
is borne by the state and the remain
ing two-thirds by higway district i'm
proved, bond being voted for this
purpose. Governor Alexander during
the last session of the legislature,
in order to apparently make good in
his claim of saving, refused to per-
nit the passage of bond issues for in
ternal Improvements. Then after the
Legislature adjourned, in order to sat-
isfy the clamor of the people for road
improvement everywhere, induced OF
permitted his highway engineer and
highway commission to engage in q
campaign of Misrepresentation.
The highway engineer during his
term of office has been employed ir
the solution of no engineering prob.
lens. His principal duty has been te
drive about the state in a state owned
and operated automobile, and engage
in a propaganda of road bonds by roac
districts in various counties. If bonds
in sufficient amount were voted, the
road would be declared state high
way, and the work of improvement
would be done with the proceeds OF
the road district bond issue with {

cess behind him. Above all, he has
now lad two years of experience as
commissioner and the people would
be foolish indeed to throw that away,
to put in green hand to monkey
with the machinery. No one would
do it in his private affairs and no one
has right to ask the county to do it.
Elk River people would not sup
port Mr.. Choate SO strongly if town
pride were aroused by home candi-
River man would touch the Office
with a pole. Neither would Mr..
Choate, but he is in office now and
has become interested in the work;
he agrees to continue in the unpleas-
ant, Improbable job in the same un-
selfish spirit that is displayed by
good school trustee, regent of the
state university,a a MEMBER of any pub
lie committee or they who do the dis
agreeable, unpaid routine work of
lodges.
And Mr.. Choate is no mans man
and wears no mans collar.
The other two republican candidates
are of less direct interest to the
Third District but of just as much to
/ the county as a whole. Messrs.
Snyder and Pittwood are both men
of character and standing at home, as
was shown by the vote in the prlmar-
/ les of those who knew them we'll.
They are strong men and, so far as
can be judged ahead, will make good
executives.
1t is admitted by democrats that
they are only trying to elect part OF
their ticket. If they should acci-
dentally put over one or two commits
sione:s the democratic organization
would at once drive them to playing
politics against all the majority of
republican officials and the admins
trative harmony that has brought
such satisfactory results in the past
two years will be destroyed. Effici-
ency and economy cannot be secured
without team work.
No corporation would think for a
moment of placing its different de-
partments under men determined to
quarrel with each other and discredit
each other at the expense of the corr
por ion and at the ms sation OF
outsiders. But that is what the
democratic organization wants Clear
, water county to do. A county would
be even more helpless than corpor-
alton because it cannot simply fire
trouble m axers and hire other men at
moments notice.
The only thing for Elk River peo-
pie to do is to elect Choate, Snyder
, and Pittwood as commissioners. The
republican county administration has
done much better than the democrats
