DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY IN PRACTICE

1t will be noted by reference the columns of
this issue of The Tribune that Mr.. Alfred F. Stone a
taxpayer of Canyon County objects the wholesale
poyment of lawyers assist the Prosecuting Attorney
of the County in foreclosng liens. 1t would
that Prosecuting Attorney of Canyon County thought
that equitable distribution of nearly thou
sand dollars would be highly beneficial to some one
and took this method of making the distribution The
sum was fairly evenly distributed and that point
objection registered.
The law contempates that the Prosecuting Attorney
shall attend the legal business of the County. In his
the Prosecuting Attorney was unwilling unable
attend his duties and adopted the plan of bringing
in his Democratic friends to assist him. The plan
adopted involved the expenditure of nearly thousand
dollars. What is 100000 among friends? And
pecially when Democratic economy in all its glory is
thus exemplhed?
We are told that in Elmore County the Prosecuting
Attorney of the County brought hundred fore
closure suits under this particular law Emore County
permitted the Prosecuting Attorney employ extra
stenographer $500 per month for little less than
months and the trick turned. Two hundred fore
closure suits in Canyon County under the system in
practice would have provided for five thousand dollar
raid the public funds of the county Great things
be done with $5OOOOO Even quite bit be done with
100000
The thing looked easy that the County Commits
sioner failed TO make order employ the attorneys
They did try legaze the raid by this for
may. little later the board in its briancy attemp-
ted raty the action taken the Prosecuting Attorney
Mr. Stone has undertaken to protect the taxpayers of
Canyon County. He should be warmly commended for
the action he has taken In this of high every
dollar counts and especially when those dollars aggre-
gate thousand The benehciares of the action of the
Prosecuting Attorney have placed themselves in an
enviable position before the peope-especaly that
election is coming

CENSORSHIP OF NOTION PICTURES

Congress is still seriously considering the establish
of board of censors to pass motion picture
productions Congress will do we'll let censorships
severely alone.
There is under the why motion pictures
should be subject censorship any than the
the newspaper the pulpit An argument that will
ply any of these will apply to them all Thus far
this country has worried along for about 1874
without censor and convinced that it worry
a while longer.
Be it remembered that the establishment of this
sorshp is but the first STEP 1t will be followed by
tives which will undertake to regulate the stage,
papers and publications of all kinds the pulpit and the
lecture platform The time kill such is at
their birth.
Every citizen who wishes maintain free and untram-
melted the of and Enlightenment the
of and corrections and the safeguards of liberty;
should write his congressman in protest against the
posed censorship.

WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE CANDIDATES.

STANCE as may the fact is that there few
candidates in evidence this year. There only eight
days left in which nomination papers may be filed and
there not exceed dozen candidates in the field
In Canyon County. We wonder if it is possible that
the parties will be unable to fill their tickets
For the Republican nominations some very good men
are in the field. We trust that good will continue
come The party should place splendid ticket in
nomination this fall The election of every good man is
assured. We readily see why Democrats should be
keen for nominations this year. Nobody likes lead
hopeless fight On the other hand the chances Of Re-
publican victory greater thar they ave been
We why there should hesitancy on the
of members of the party

little, unaided, toward preparing youngsters for the
