AS oblivion beckons for this dstin-
guished son OF the academic halls of
Ada, 1t is fitting to adduce certain facts
to furnish the excuse for the story of
the steer-c compelled farmer. Should
anyone seek to know the cause of the
recent cataclysmic concatenation in
Ohio politics the sole reply must be
Wilson; that's alr' Which, expanded
to meet general application, means that
1t was President Wilson who, by means
OF his imposing plurality, pulled through
Governor James M. Cox, United States
Senator Atlee Pomerene and the whole
kit and bilin'" of the Democratic
array. Had it not been for the ruler
of the 100000 free and highly fused
up American citizens the victors of to-
day would be the despondent defeated

ready to fly to the arms of Socialism.

important and governing fact for the

agree to be the candidate, on the as

not listen to a refusal.

THERE is NO LABOR SHORTAGE

New York-The report of the local
office of the State Bureau of Employ
ment says that 1901 persons received
employment through its aid in October.
Commenting on the statement of the
Federal Reserve Board that New York
manufacturers were unable to keep pace
with their orders. the bureau maintains
that it can furnish sufficient number
of skilled or unskilled workers to local
employers provided the prevailing rate
of wages is paid. 1t says many of the
employers who assert they cannot obtain
suitable workmen either do not pay the
market price or else have not called up
on the bureau.

Two years ago Willis made the farm

Cox had created some hundreds of
State bureaus and commissions and had
filled thirty-four Office buildings with
salary grabbers. In his statements he
wasn't embarrassed by the facts nor
was he parsimonious in promising to
abolish these commissions and put what
was left of them back into the old state
house created in 1885. Last summer he
made the fatal mistake, not having abol-
ished any commission whatsoever, be-
cause he didn't know how to fill the
gap, of purchasing an eleven-story OF
fee building. Into this he bundled
only few of the commissions who are
still using private property at saloon
rates for rent.

to sufficient extent to permit the ador-
able Mr.. Wilson to drag him across the
line to victory. This lesson teaches us
that the old gag about political plat

OF getting into office is cynical and I'M

Be an American citizen first and a
partizan afterwards. That's TIE doc
trine. If preparedness is right let
the American people, not as partizans,
but as united people, interested in
the preservation and perpetuity Of our
common country, render all the sup
port within our power, even to the
giving of our fortunes and our lives.
Our forefathers purchased the liberty
we now enjoy by personal sacrifice i;
they fought and died for this nation.
If American citizens today are unwill-
ing to make as great sacrifice to
prepetuate this nation then we are un-
worthy and deserve to lose our price
less heritage. In this hour of world
wide war, let Us prayerfully consider
the question Of preparedness and, with
true devotion to our country, solve
this question right. 1t is no time to

WHY TAXES ARE HIGH.

Government is expensive because it
has grown to be most complicated
system, and the people keep bowling
for more. If you wind the clock you
must get permit from the clock in
spector; if you feed the baby you must
have license from some pure food
department; if you want to butcher a
pig you must spend four years in col.
lege, and pay license; you need a
dozen apple trees you can't get them
out of the express Office until deputy
horticultural inspector has looked
them over; if you want to ship COW
in or out o. Idaho you must get in
spected; if your dog wants to change
it's mind get it inspected; if the hens
lay they must be inspected, and if they
don I the hens must be officially in
yestigated. You can't fish on your
own ranch without license, nor hunt
game on your own land, fattened on
your own feed, without license.
Every tenth man you meet is on the
public payrolls, and yet people wonder
why taxes are high. And perhaps 1t
is worth it. Perhaps these things
make for the health and comfort of
the people, who would never tolerate
a suggestion that we 90 back to the
days of simplicity and germs. Bath
tubs, sewerage systems and sanitary
food may come high, but could we dc
without them? Are we willing tC
reduce the standards of living? AnC
yet could we not use some sense,
combine some departments, and make
public officials earn their salt? Fol-
example, couldn't the county officials
enforce the game laws, even bette,
than they are now enforced, and de.
vote the thousands of dollars collected
from fishing and hunting licenses to-
wards reducing state taxes?
Couldn't Governor Alexander, in.
stead of chasing all over the United
States playing to the galleries anc
gratifying his inordinate egotism, stay
in Boise and tend to business, insteat
of paying the editor of the Boise Cap
ital News So, 500 per year to do the
work?

The Republican has an ambition to
be worth while to Oroiino. 1t believes
a newspaper should occupy field, the
most important business of which is
to arouse interest in worthy enter
prises calculated to develop a COM
munity. 1t has never overlooked an
opportunity to boost. 1t has devoted
more time and space to this end than
its patronage would warrant, but if
the citizens do their best, and the
work is appreciated, that is all this
paper asks. We do think the Repub-
lican is entitled to square deal; that
with two local papers all community
business should be divided, removing
any cause for dissatisfaction. We
think the policy followed this year by
the county fair should be followed in
village business, if there is a desire
for harm 1ny in 0rofno.

WHY SIT IDLE?

The Republican would again urge
interest in the matter Of better mar
kets for all kinds of local products,
whether it be berries, apples, vegeta-
bles, or other products. What coop
Grafton has accomplished in other Sec
tions G an be accomplished here. If
other districts, no more favorably sit
uated. can solve the problem of mar
kets for local products, SO can Orof-
no. If we must dry or can our cherries
and strawberris and tomatoes, enab-
ling the producer to hold for winter
and spring prices, let US have a can
merry, with drier, if necessary, and
thus make it an object for our farmers
to produce such crops.
We doubt if there is place in the
world that will produce larger yields
Of better quality beans than here
around 0rofno. Last year small
patch in our garden produced i'm
mensely. An acre would have paid
good profit, and there should be no
necessity Of shipping canned beans
from Iowa, Utah, or California into
Clearwater county. Take tomatoes,
rhubarb, peas, asparagus, pumpkins,
apples, and berries. Where can one
produce better quality and larger
yields per acre? But what is the use
of producing these crops as things now
stand? There is no possible market
beyond a limited local consumption.
Nature richly endowed the Clear
water valley, and the character of the
country tributary to Orofino demands
diversity Of crops. These benches.
adapted to corn. berries, fruits, mel
ons and vegetables, can be made te

crops, and a market will quickly

Run Clearwater county on $125, 600
per year. 1t can be done, and that
will end high taxes. People can then
afford to own property in our county.
The other day the Republican received
a letter from a man living in the
East, who owns timber claim or two
in Clearwater county. He said the
Republican was wasting time trying
to boost Clearwater county with tax
es SO high they amounted to confisca-
ton. Relief will begin this, year
when the levy will not exceed IA
mills, against some "a mills last year.
That will help. The county debts
will be wiped out, with the possible
exception Of s44, 600 claimed by Nease,
which is in court, and we hope will
never be paid. So the future holds a
better prospect for the taxpayer in

GIVE TIE HOME MERCHANT
A SQUARE DEAL.

Mail order houses in Chicago, Seat
tie or Spokane do not pay taxes in
Clearwater county; they do not help
support local schools, they contribute
nothing towards Clearwater county
roads, or in any way contribute to-
wards the development Of our county.
On the other hand whatever builds up
your home town benefits every tribu-
tary farmer; it increases the value of
every ia m within trading radius Of
Orofino, and increases your wealth.
If the Orofino merchant can approx
innate catalogue prices it will pay you
to buy al home. Try this: The next
time vow want a bill of goods submit
it TO the Orofino merchants and see if
they can meet catalogue house prices.
Pay them cash in advance, the same
as you do catalogue. merchants, and
give the m time, if necessary, to get
your goods from the wholesalers.
On the other hand, let the home
merchant practice what he breaches.

don t send out Of Orofino. There are
farmers who insist they are discrimi-
mated against. The merchants, on the
other ha I'D. will resent the suggestion
that they do not favor the home pro-
Queer, often TO their disadvantage.
We have often thought the greatest
difficulty is lack Of understanding
among the home merchant and the
farmer, and that great good would
come from an occasional get-together
dinner, where matters of interest to
all could be freely discussed.

The siio will 60 far towards solv-
ing the problem Of cheap feed. and
cheap feed solves the problem Of
profits on the farm. The business man
understands that profit is the differ
ence between cost and selling price,
and the farmer must do the same
thing. We remember when FIVE cents
pound for hogs was considered Dig,
and the Palouse country hog raisers
usually sold for less than four.
Wheat was worth around sixty cents
per bushel. In the early days, along
in the Sos, the farmers freighted all
the way to Snake river. taking sew
eral days, and fifty cents was big
price. If the farmer today cant get
along, how did those Of thirty years
ago make it?
