BRYAN OvERRULES THE
DEMURRER IN STONE
TAI. APPEAL CASE:

The demurrer filed by H. A. Crit
tlths, prosecuting attorney of Canyon
county, to the appeal OF Alfred +.
Stone. in the matter of the whole sale
employment of LAWYERS by Mr.. Crit
fiths to assist in the tax cases, has
been overruled by Judge Ed l.. Bryan.
The defendant has been given one
week to answer. The effect of the
ruling by Judge Bryan is that the
case will be tried Mr.. Griffiths hoped
to win by demurrlng to the appeal.
Demurrer Overruled.
Judge Bryan has ruled on the de-
murrer of Mr.. Griffiths as follows:
In the matter of the appeal of
Alfred Stone from certain orders made
by the Board of County Commission
ers of Canyon County. This case has
been submitted on defendants de-
murrer and motion to dismiss the ap-
peal. The complaint on appeal alleges
that no necessity whatever existed for
the employment of the special coun-
sell 1t is true, as commended by de-
PENDANT that appellant does not in so
many words allege that the commits
sioners were guilty of violation of
their discretion, but | think the allega-
ton that there was no necessity what
ever for the employment of special
counsel means the same thing. If the
allegation that there was no necessity
for the employment of special counsel
is sustained by proof then it must be
conceded it would be violation OF
their discretion on the part of the
commissioners to employ special
counsel. | think the complaint is good
against the demurrer and motion filed
and that it is the duty of the court to
hear testimony as to whether such
necessity did exist. For the reasons
above stated the demurrer and mo-
ton will be overruled and defendant
given one week to answer.

Gold and Cost of Living.

"A great deal OF discussion has arisen
in financial circles concerning the ad-
visibility of the importation of such
vast quantities of gold to this country.
While it is true that foreign nations
must pay for the commodities we
send them, it is argued that the pres
ence of so much gold in this country
offers dangerous tendency to infla-
ton, and further accounts for the
rising of domestic mmodities.
While recognizing that the increased
volume of gold permits the enlarged
issue of currency and is the base for
the great credit extended to Europe,
the question arises, is it good thing
or bad thing for the country to re-
ceive gold i'm payment for debts owing
them? Suppose Europe, instead of
paying part in goldl had kept her gold
and had paid us in additional Ameri-
can securities. would that have been
good or a bad thing for this country ?
And is it probable, considering the
great demand for our products, that,
under such condition. prices would
not have advanced? Granting that a
large volume of gold is to certain
extent responsible for advanced val
ues in labor, products, etc, there are
many other factors which are quite as
much responsible. For instance, the
decreased supply of breadstuffs owing
to the partial failure of crops this
season surely must be considered as
being largely responsible for the adj
vance in grain and other food prod
ucts. The immense shipments of meat
to Europe and the decreased supply
of cattle, sheep and hogs surely must
be largely responsible for the high
prices for such products. The awful
waste produced by the war and the
terrible slaughter of men must also be
credited as a factor in high prices
Likewise the scarcity of labor in this
country because of decreased immi-
grafton must be considered as contrib
uting its share to the high prices
which are being paid for the neces-
saries of life. Combinations to raise
prices and the avidity with which
those who control or handle food sup
plies demand higher and higher
prices are one of the chief causes oil
the great increase in the cost of living
Some economists remind us that as
soon as the war has been concluded
the European nations will lose no time
in seeking back the gold which they
have shipped over here. This is per
fectly true, but we must also consider
that they will not receive this golc
as a gift, but must give us the equiv
alent either in commodities or il
securities.

ments which attack the insect in its
breeding places, and the effectiveness
of these laws has been proven.
1t is too much to anticipate the
entire eradication Of the pest, but may
be lessened in every community.
The uncovered manure heaps of the
stable are prolific in the production
of the fly. In comparison, the open
garbage can is innocence itself. Mu-
nicipal authority has the power to
REQUIRE that all stable owners, livery
or private. any place where horses,
mules or cattle are kept-shall keep
stable refuse, manure, under flyproof
cover, and that in removing it the
same precautions shall be observed
This prevents escape Of the fly from
his breeding place and vastly lessons
the menace. That it is practical
and effective precaution has been
proved by experience, in those places
where municipal authority has been
brave enough to defy opposition.
An attempt was made in Jackson
vile year or more ago to protect
the residents Of Fl0rida's largest CITY
from its stables. To install and en-
I force the operation of the necessary
devices, would cost money, real mon
ey. Strong opposition was develop
ed among those whose money would
have to be spent, and the proposed
/ law died "abornin."
Possibly other Florida cities have
/ similar experiences with the selfish
/ ness of individuals and the cowardica
of their authorities. The fact re,
mains that public sentiment in jack
soovillc was not aroused against
either ard the fly was granted the
| freedom of the city, to multiply anil
claim new victims from the human
I poDuIation.
This matter of the responsibility Of
municinal and state authority with
/ respect to public health. is but little
reali2ed or appreciated in Florida.
Already number of strong laws for
the sanitary protection of the people
are enrolled on the statute books of
the state and of some cities. They
are ae important as those enGctments
that punish murderers, for they arc
/ intended to conserve human life. The
public Official who failed Of his most
i strenuous effort to appreheT3 an5
punish the murderer, would be ceh-
sured. perhaps he removed from his
n1ace. but no one blames him when he
rerIects the enforcement Of those
laws that protect the private citizen
from typhoid or other highly fatal
diseases,
From this season of the year the
j fly begins to breed with increasing
rapiditv. As result. disease also
| begins its annual increase. Your city
council can stop it.

TYPHOID AND THE FLY.


Organized society and individual eff
fort are devoted to relieve the re-
suits Of poverty. Outside Of health
boards and authorities no attention IS
given to the prevention Of typhoid, un-
til it becomes practically epidemic,
and then it becomes question of how
quickly and how widely society can
separate itself from infection.
Typhoid fever can be prevented
that has been proved. 1t can be Wlp-
ed out. and one medical authority
has predicted that by 1880 it will be
a rare disease. This enthusiast,
however, has been dreaming that by
that far-away year, society, meaning
the men, women and authorities OF
the state or nation, will have become
aroused to the fact that the disease
can be prevented, to the enormous
economic waste it entails and to the
moral offanse of permitting it to raw
age the community.
There are two ways at least OF
avoiding the disease. Vaccination
with the anti-typi1oid serum has wip-
ed it out in the United States army
and navy. and its efficiency has been
established in thousands Of individual
cases.
The second way, which is of prime
importance. is by preventing its oc-
currerce. Typhoid is spread by the
transference of the disease germs.
These are carried by flies from eX-
creta of the patent to the food that i
eaten urcooked. or to the food already

United States Senator COMMITTEES
on Naval Affairs. February %, 1916.
Henry Reuterdahl, ESQ, New York
City.
Dear Sir: am mailing you a sin
Gle copy of a speech | made IN the
senate some time ago in which | paid
NV RESPECTS to Won L. Meyer, form
er secretary of the navy. | haven t
read all Of your article, but | have
read far enough in it to find out it
purpose and intent is to praise Won
[. Never and abuse Daniels; and | can
not help but wonder who is inspiring
YOU to do this. Your idea of the sec
retary of the navy is summed up IN
the first paragraph: "Allowlng the
professional men to run the show,
thew simply supplied the official sig,
nature which made the wheels work.
That was the type of secretary Won
| L. Never was know, because
visited his office few times while he
was in it. Daniels is running the
navy now, and that is the reason yon
are abusing him. He is a thorough
democrat; perhaps too much OF a
democrat for & cabinet officer, Tor ne
was a poor boy who has fought his
wav up from the ground and doesn't
! feel because of his official position
that he is superior to Jackie; there
fore. he did net hesitate to have his
photograph taken between two OF
them. Imagine Won L. Meyer doing
such a thing as that?
Admiral Dewey is well satisfied
with the efficiency Of the navy at
this time and its progress under DaI,
iels, as he testified in the letter whicE
published. Admiral Benson is ais.
we'll contented with the conditions
although he wishes to make them bet
ter. All of the deficiencies whic.
Admiral Fletcher's report showet
were due, as I proved by the record
to republican inefficiency, and to vor
L. Meyers own lack Of loyalty to the
navy itself as a fighting machine
The surprising thing is that a sensl
Bile man like you should attempt t
charge Daniels with being guilty o
this crime against the navy, for 1t /
crime that the fleet is not in bet
ter condition than it is. The mor'
evidence you pile up, and you submit
| great deal Of it about the navy, tn
heavier grows the indictment agains
Won L. Meyer and the republican con
gress, and I am surprised that you
> own sense of fairness did not max
= YOU realize this. But I waste tim
: in writing to you. Read my speec'
= and then I will be glad to hear from
: YOU if YOU have the nerve to write.

it printed in pamphlet form. to Sent
, out, together with a copy of this let
ter, and a copy of the speech l deliv
