HOWELL UNABLE
WORK IN HARMONY
/ WITH THE BOARD
lives His Reasons for OPP
posing Election and Other
Matters Which Lead to
His Resignation.

The announcement by the Capital
ews last night that William Howell
lad resigned as commissioner of Ada
county came as genuine surprise and
Created mild sensation. Even county
Officials at the court house did not
learn of the resignation until informed
BY q representative of the Capital
News. When seen last night Mr.. How
|ell readily consented to give the rea-
sons why he had stepped aside as COM
missioner. His successor, Edward
Smith, qualified yesterday afternoon by
Filing his bond, and will take up his
&iuties on the board tomorrow.
Elk Commissioners Howell explained
|tu q representative Of the Capital News
lhe resigned because he felt the tax
payers of this county were mot being
Fairly dealt with by the majority Of the
board when they insisted on them
Foting blindly upon a bond issue for
ssuch a large amount as 100000 for
2road improvements without first giving
assurance as to where the roads were
be- built or who would have charge
Z sthe construction work. Another
reason he gives Is that his protests
lagainst paying certain bills that came
before the commissioners were ignored
Wanted People to Know.
While he was not at the board meet
ing when the bond election was decid-
cd upon, MIR. Howell stated he had pre-
Iviously met Gus Carlson, chairman Of
The board, and informed him that he
WAS not in favor Of a bond election
unless the people were to be advised
just exactly what the issue meant.
The people Of Kuna and Mora, he
stated, had right and should know
bust what proportion Of the money was
TO be spent in their sections, as did
falso the people of other sections Of the
bounty. He stated that when the last
Issue was voted and the money spent,
people had come to him and told him
hat had they known just where the
Rds were to be built that they would
BIT have voted for the issue, and al
that time he declared that II another
election was ever held he believed il
would be the duty of the commission
'ers to have a blue print made showing
Just where the roads were to be built
las the people who paid the bills were
entitled to know. He also suggested
that a committee of farmers be APP
pointed to lay out the roads, which lie
believed would be a more satisfactory
way Of doing
He stated he also wished the people
OF Boise to know that they were as

suning SIS per cent Of the bonds ana
that none OF the money was to be
spent in the city and they got no d.
rect benefit from it, as he felt that was
a matter they, 81 taxpayers, had q
right to know, and he was Of the opin
ion that all these facts should be put
clearly and fairly before the people,
instead OF just merely informing them
that the automobile tax would pay the
interest and asking them to vote the
bonds, under that statement
Protests unheeded.
Mr.. Coffin, stated Mr.. HoweIl,
seemed TO feel that he was fully COM
petent to fix the location OF the roads
and felt that II the people knew where
they were to be built, many would
vote against the bonds. Mr. Howell
also declared that he had been led to
believe that farmers have been prom
Used work with their teams providing
they would vote for the bonds. and he
wanted to know if such was the case
or if the work was to be let to the
lowest and the best bidders. He stated
he was informed that the matter was
an after consideration.
Another matter in which he was ig-
nored and his protests unheeded was
in the matter of paying the bill for the
keeping of the road into Highland val
ley in good condition. William Bedeil
he states, was engaged by the year to
keep the road in good shape and much
complaint was made that the read was
not in good condition and hardly pass
able. He stated that he had talked
with Mr.. Carlson, stating that Bedelfs
warrants should be held up until he
had fulfilled his contract and done the
necessary road work for which he was
paid, but that while he was out Of the
city and absent from the only meeting
which he had missed for four years
when the bills were to be paid, the
warrants were allowed and now he
says it is claimed that through mis-
take Bedell was paid a month in adj
vance.
He declared that he felt 1t was his
duty to vote against Mr.. Carlson's
automobile bills and had done so since
the county had purchased a car, which
he had agreed upon, but he supposed
that the car was to be kept in the
county garage at the court house,
while instead, he said, it Is kept at the
home of Commissioner Coffin. He de-
clared that he felt such procedure was
not right and that when the bills of
the county had to be paid by the peo-
pie the county automobile should be
kept at the county court house for use
when needed by any official on official
business, but not as 8 private car for
one commissioner.
AS minority member Of the board,
Mr.. Howell says, he was powerless and
as he did not wish to be party to
such proceedings, he handed in his
resignation He also stated that a
brother in-law of Gus Carlson. was now
working on the county stone crusher,
to which he also objected.
Resignation Surprise.
The resignation Of Mr., Howell crc-
ated somewhat of a sensation when it
became generally known that he would
no longer serve on the board of county
commissioners. For some time the
conflict on that board has held the at
tention Of taxpayers OF Ada county
especially with regard to certain ac-
tions that body has taken in matters

NATIONALS STICK
TO PLAYER LIMIT
Rule Gives the American
League Advantage in
Handling Team.
BY Jack NeiOck.
international News Service:

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Many
major league baseball writer's take a
rather consistent delight in banging
the anvil when unraveling yarns
about the National league.
Fact is. a majority of the scribes
are out Of sympathy with the con-
servative policy which governs the
running Of affairs in the Tener cir
cult. and in some ways il appears
there is ground for criticism.
When the National league held it's

fight made by New York and Chi

But adding one TO the player limit
gives National league managers
little more leeway than they had
during 1915. and in the way of
managers have the bulge on their
rivals.
The player limit in the American
league is set at % men, and a num-
Der of National league managers.
John McGraw in particular, wanted
the same privilege. What was want
ed by the managers made no diff
ference. The club owners decided
that retrenchment was the thing,
and the thought of carrying % ball
players almost gave them heart
failure.
Here was a chance for the Ma
tional league TO take a step forward.
Instead of that it chose to back
water, and that water is just so
much more weight on the American
leagues water wheel.
In raising the player limit to p
men the National league did not
better matters, for il turned right
around and put the crusher on the
disability rule which allowed man

Capt. Til Huston of the Yankees,
who spends a part Of each year at
Dover hall. is not claiming to be the
champion hunter of the world. and
here's the reason:
The "Cap'n" was out exploring
the trackless wilds of game
preserve down south when a young
buck deer hobs up, not over a hun
dred feet in front of him and stands
there looking him over as much as
to say. "Whaddaya mean by buttin'
i'm on my territory
The first thing the Cap'n does is
stare right back and the two stood
there trying 10 outstare each other
for almost a minute.
Then the Cap'n happened to re-
member that he had his rife with
him and he proceeded TO blaze away.
Mr.. Deer picked up his ears as the
bullet whizzed over his head, but
gave Huston time 20 overshOOt the
mark once again before he decided
the climate was unhealthy
Having missed twice Huston fif-
ured he might as well make a good
job of it. so he took a parting shot
at the departing buck and yelped
few words that have been deleted
by the censor.
Think OF IL. says Huston. I'm
not over $50 feet away from that
buck and can't hit. him in three
shots. I shoot almost as well as Bill
