plvlpINe CANYON COUNTY.

In discussing the division of Can
Yen County The Nampa Leader
Herald. Jan. 26ht. has this to say:
The most effective weapon against
the proposal has been the claim
that it would increase taxes. This
claim cannot be made with any de-
gree of success this time as that
theory has been exploded in the case
OF several new counties, created in
the past few years Tie records
show, 1t is said by those who have
investigated, that the saving in mile
age and fees of officials and witness
es, and half a dozen other ways
more that make up the salaries of
county officials. Our near neighbor,
Gem county, which was separated
from Canyon county two years ago,
has found it tax saving PROPOSE
ton, it is said, aside from the great
saving in time and money to indivi-
duals.
Z Payette is also asking for sep
Rrate county and SO far as known
Mere Is no opposition here to giving
Payette people the relief desired.

is 1T WORTH WHILE.

Every city or village, large OF
small should have some kind of an
organization to further the interest
of the City and community, let il
be called a Commercial Club or by
any other name, it matters not, just
organized body of men who have the
interest of the City at heart, and ii
would seem that every man should
be interested in the Community
where he lives. Payette has a
good live Commercial club which
was organized about Is years ago,
and has made many accomplishments
since list organization, but our mem
bership should be double what it is,
and no doubt would be if we all
fully understood the object of the
club and what it is doing, it seems
to be the opinion of some that the
Commercial Club is an organization
of business men to cloge togather
and combined prices to graft the
community. in general, while others
seem to think the club wants to
run everything just to suit them
selves, and not give any one else
a chance while there is still another
class thinks the club is doing nothing
The Commercial Club is not a Sc
cret organization, visitors are always
welcome, and every man whether a
member or not is invited to come
out to the Club meetings and see
what is being done. The object and
the only object of the Commercial
Club is to lend assistance, and help
bring about anything that would
be benefit to Payette and the
surrounding country, assist in build
ing good roads into our town, and
bridges across the rivers. bringing
to our City any business enterprise
that would be of interest and teIp
to build up and improve Payette.
The short cut to the Fiuitland
bench, and the new bridge across
the Payette River, the Snake river
bridge across to Dead OK Flat
securing the State highway through
Payette, and many Other important
improvements all of which is a great
benefit to every citizen of Payette,
not just the members of the Club,
and it takes money in every in
stance, to bring about these import
ant improvements.
The business men and banks pay
into fund each month in order to
have money to defray these expenses
as well as each member paying his
monthly dues of so cents Now if
it is worth while, why not every
man who feels that he is a citizen,
and interested in the city, come out
and be member of the club, and
know what is being done, and help
to do it, it matters not whether you
are business man, you can help,
your presence is worth while, and
let every man who is a member be
in attendance at the club meetings,
yorr monthly dues helps, but your
presence at the meetings is better.

SHOULD
GET CONTROL
% the Editor of the Payette Enter

To the Editor OF the Payette ENTER
prise:
There is no doubt but that this
country Is on the eve of wonder
full Development
Under the readjustment that is
sure to take place in the business
world, caused by the abundance of
money and the adjustment of finan-
ces through the regional banks and
the rural credit laws, which by the
lsuch changes are made manifest by
their operations, money will be
cheaper than it has ever been be-
fore
Under these changes will be af-
forded the great opportunity for
the development of this country, and
its great natural resources can be
developed in such a way that all
will be greatly benefited
The greatest natural resource that
we have and which rightfully be-
longs to the people, is the great
water power that is at our very
door. Now is the time to secure this
power before some corporation steps
in and takes it from us. By secur-
ing the right of these power sites
and developing them, what wonder
full asset 1t would be to our entire
country.
Among the benefits would be an
electric car line running in a loop
from Emmett through Payette to
Weiser, crossing the river there,
back on the west side to On ario,
again crossing the river and up the
valley to Emmett with connecting
lines through the valley to accommo-
date the traffic as is seen neecc :
sary.
Then the saving in fuel would be
a great item. The fuel expense of the
territory covered by this electric sys-
TEN Is approximately 100000 a year
which amount would be largely saw
ed.
The cheapened power for lights,
feat and power would be used to
sIch an extent that it would require
a large plant, and by having cheap
power there would be thousands Of
acres irrigated that are now desert,
and these acres would afford homes
fol many many families.
The plan for this development
would be to form this empire into
an Improvement district where its
bonds would be at premium at q
very low rate of interest and the
development can be made without
one dollars expense to the district,
and the saving made on fuel, lights,
and cheapened transportation would
In few years pay off the bonds
and the people would own their
plant.
The benefits and savings are too
many to enumerate in short arti-
Gle like this, but any one who cares
TO STUDY the scheme little Will
see some Of the benefits.
To mention just one-the hauling
'of the fruit crop of the district to
the railroad as at present. If the dis
lance could be shortened on an
average Of l IL to miles, 1t would
save thousands Of miles of travel
for the fruit grower, as 1t takes
three thousand miles travel for one
team to haul one hundred cars OF
fruit distance OF two miles.
All Of this may sound visionary
and far-fetched but it will be only
a short time before some corporation
or corporations will be asking for
charter to do this very thing and
get 1t too, while we, II we do not
take advantage OF our great oppor-
