THE TEST OF GOVERNMENT.

The test of government is what the
people get for their money. No gov
eminent is good that bowls reform,
talks about its superior honesty, and
then gratis, misgoverns and piles up
debts for the people to pay. For ex-
ample, as assessor, Mr.. Blake boosted
timber values and the democrats
boosted and Dragged about the wonder
full things they were doing for the
people. They assured the people
timbe.' companies would pay the cost
of government. There was a period
of disgraceful and shameful extrava-
gance; county funds were wasted ;
exhorbitant prices were paid for much
of the county supplies. The law was
ignored, often violated. The people
awoke to find their dreams shattered.
There was debt of one-eighth of a
million dollars ard the people paid.
The people have had two years of bus
mess administration. County funds
have been spent in business like
manner. Expenditures have beer
kept within the available revenues.
There has been no Nease cruise deals,
no County printing gratis, no 81. 4O(
bridge plans graft, no road culvert
graft, 10 need ess waste, no raids or
the coulty treasury.
Tie republicans have not leviet
S25, 900 for 10 ads and spent 200
They have not levied S25. 600 for cur
rent expense and expended $40, 900
They Lave made business levy ant

that IT, mocratic debt has been pai'

licans will keep Clearwater county on
of debt.

Let the gentlemen speak for them

and say frankly, without evasion,
what they will do.
Here is a case involving $50, 200.
The Federal court has heard the evil
dence and said the county should not
pay the Nease warrants. The repub-
licans have worked zealously in behalf
of the taxpayers to save them from a
monstrous outrage, and won sweep
ing victory in the court at Moscow.
Judge DIETRICH sustained every con-
tention of the county. But what will
all this avail the citizens of Clear
water county if, in case of appeal, the
case is lost in the higher court? How
easy it would be to betray the people
and lose; how fatal it would be

LET US NOT LOOSE SIGHT OF
THE REAL ISSUE.

Let us get this thing straight. Mr..
Leeper i candidate for county as
SCISSOR. He says:
II will reduce the farmer and
small home owner and the business
mans taxes at least forty per cent
and raise as much money as was raised
in 1915. | will raise the timber val
uations in the county approximately
81, 900, 900, the amount which has been
apparently lost during the past two
years.
Mr.. Leeper can, if elected, assess
timber at any figure he sees fl. He
can increase Clearwater county timber
valuations $4, 900, 900 or $40, 900, 600,
or $44O, 900, 900, or any other amount.
This far he is right. But how is he
going to get his arbitrary values by
the state board of equalization? Mr..
Blake tried it and failed. Mr.. Blake,
as county assessor, tried hard to do
the very thing that Mr.. Leeper pro-
poses, and Mr.. Blake had his arbi-
trary valuations reduced twenty per
cent. He had them out of proportion
to timber values in other counties.
To have permitted them to stand
would have been unjust, resulting in
Clearwater county paying more than
a fair share of the state taxes.
Let us illustrate. Take two farms,
each worth $40, 900, one in Ada county,
the other in Clearwater county. As
sess one at S., 900 and the other at
So, 800 and what happens? One tax
payer pays twice as much into the
state as the other, without any com.
pensating benefit to the wrongec
county. And should so absurd anc
unfair thing really happen the in.
jury to Clearwater county would be
incalculable. L. would drive inves.
tors into counties fairly taxed.
No honest citizen wants more thar
a square, honest, equal assessment
and for our own good the people o.
Clearwater county should see to i
that investors in Clearwater count,
are not penalized.
We have tried to make one fac
plain. Any county assessor can fl.
property values to suit himself. Blu
remember that arbitrary values fixe
by county assessors mean nothin
since they amount to nothing unit

and state boards of equalization an

WHERE DO THEY STAND ON
THE NEASE CASE?

Two weeks ago, in all seriousness,
the Republican asked Messrs. Wilson,
Blevins and Detmer, democratic can
didates for, county commissioners,
what they proposed to do with the
Nease case, yet to be fought thru the
United States court Of appeals.
In reply the Orofino Tribune says
the democrats will obey the law,
which means what? But the ques-
tions are yet unanswered. The ques-
tion is not what the Orofino tribune
thinks these candidates will do, but
what will Messrs. Detmer, Blevins,
and Wilson do, and the people expect
Messrs. Wilson, Blevins and Detmer
to answer for themselves. We are moi
asking for the opinion of l. R. Grow

WHY INDEED2

The Republican is in receipt of an
anonymous letter, in which the writer
asks: "Why are farm valuations in
Clearwater county so much higher
than timber valuations"
Will the same party be kind enough
to tell us upon what he bases his as
sertion that the farmer is assessed
higher than timber companies? The.
Republican denies that such is the
case. Our assertion is as good as the
other fellow. Neither of us have
proven thing. One asserts, the
other denies. Now let the people
have the truth. Give us the records
or figures justifying the statement
made by the writer of the anonymous
letter. The Republican gladly gives
the record upon which we base our
denial. Let US reason together.
Let us, without malice. without en-
nifty, without falling out and abusing
anyone, reason together like intel
ligent, sane citizens. If the gentle
.
that the farmer is getting the worst
of it in the matter of taxation let
him give the public the basis for his
conclusions. The Clearwater Repub-
lican is not guessing. 1t goes to the
county records and finds out. When
we say that Assessor Hinckley has
not reduced timber valuations We
have the record to prove it. We
know that the farmer has been paying
less taxes proportionately than timber
companies, comparing Assessor
Hinckley with Ex-Assessor P. H.
Blake, and this assertion is not guess
1t is based on the county records
, The farmer paid more taxes in 1917
than he did in 1914. Nobody disputes
that. But so did the timber com
panies. ard the timber companies
stood greater percentage of increase
, than did the farmer. Who is t

The Cruelties of Trapping.

The Burlingame, California, Ad-
vance recently published the follow
ing editorial:
Cost of Your Furs in Torture
Under the above caption the Massa-
chusetts Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals sends out cir
cular containing the most compelling
argument for a greater regard forth
suffering of the lower animals.
Numerous illustrations from photo
graphs taken of trappers who have
caught the fur bearing animals in the
'steel trap-man's cruelest device, "
are shown in the circular. Animals
are shown with a wall of agony,
standing in the snow with crushed
foot in the trap.
Other actual photographs show the
stump of the leg gnawed off by the
wild creature in order that it might
escape from its torture ard captor.
And others demonstrate the cruelty
of the trapper, who instead of merci.
fully killing the trapped animal al
fisrt opportunity is holding the trap
by the chain while tine animal suffers
not only from the pain of the manned
foot but from the terror of being I'M
able to get away from his wors
enemy-the trapper. When one con
siders that every glossy fur worn-th'
pride of the wearer in many instances
and commanding the admiration O
the wearer's friends-represents
cruelty of the kind cited by the S
P. C. A, we can but agree with IT,

cruelty.

Distended Petticoats.

It is not always convenient to bone
summer frocks so that they flare in
proper fashion; therefore the next best
thing to do is to provide underskirts or
petticoats that can be boned and that
will act as supports for the flimsy top
skirts.
There are various kinds of boned
petticoats to be had. One pretty model
is of white satin. It has panel front
and circular sides in which there are
seven tiny bonings encircling the sides
and back.
Another attractive model is MADE
With a yoke top and from the hip line
down four rows of boning are used
to distend the full skirt. Between the
bones the material is pulled.
When the petticoats are made OF
lowered or striped silks they show up
very effectively beneath the sheer cot
ton, orgrandie and net frocks.

these leaves are fixed in place with
a piece of narrow ribbon which is tied
in a bow at the back of the book. Rib

Russia's Natural Roads.

Russia is almost roadless land. st
is inconceivable to the foreign visitor
who has never left the beaten track Of
the railways in Russia how great en-
pire can have subsisted SO long and so
successfully without even pretense at
roads. The secret lies in the fact that
for five or six months in the year ma
ture herself provides roads over the
greater part Of Russia-admirable,
smooth, CLASSY roadways over hard
worn snow.
The traffic is further cheapened over
these roads by the substitution Of a
sledge-runner for the wheel and axle.
This brings the cost Of land carriage as
near the cheapness of water-borne
freight as possible and it is the princi-
pal reason why Russia in the twentieth
century is still roadless land.
