SUESSTATE TO GET
PAY FOR SERVICES
NIr1. B. F. Griffith Will Force Settle
ment of Claim for Work Done
After adjournment of Last Session
of Legislature.

Mrs. Katherine l.. Griffith of Boise
has brought an action in the state
supreme court against Clarence Van
Deusen, state auditor, in an effort to
force him to pay her for work alleged
to have been done in the last legis-
lature. Her counsel Tuesday asked
the court for a writ of mandate di-
rected against the auditor. The pc
tition will be argued October 20.
Mrs. Griffith and Mrs. William
Stockslager each filed claims last
spring with the state auditor for
$500, alleged to be due them for
overtime they put in after the legis-
lature adjourned, in getting out en-
crossed bills Their claims were
signed by Harvey Aired speaker Of
the house, but Van Deusen refused to
pay them, holding that the claims
"CiC tOo ltll Sc
This claim is pure robbery, and
l refuse to pay it," he wrote across
the bottom of the sheet of paper on
which the claim was filed
He offered to compromise with the
women for $125 each, but they would
not accept
Mrs Griffith has itemized her
claim and now asks for $26S.75 Mrs
Stockslager has not taken any action
to recover her claim as yet.
"The only thing that can force me
to pay Mrs. Griffiths claim is the
state supreme court" the auditor de
clared Tuesday. 81 offered $125, a
very fair settlement, | think, and she
refused it."
Both Mrs. Griffith and Mrs Stock
slayer held positions in the legislature
last winter. After the legislature
they remained at the
caption anu Hs5lSIcu IHt tlllcl tltl N
in getting the records Strengthened
up.
In the original claims the two
women ask pay for so days at the
rate of S. a day.
Van Deusen says that he expects
to make a campaign issue next fall
of what he terms the abuse of the
Legislature in making soft jobs for
attaches. The auditor insists that
the work to be done in both branches
should be given to efficient stenogra
pliers and clerks, and he says that he
intends to advise the people at large
of the way the work has been handled
in the past. He insists that the
Legislature must be run on an etficien-
cy basis.
Mrs. Griffith held place in the
lower house in 1913 and 1915, when
the Republicans were in control. In
1917 she returned to the house,
when the Democrts came into power.

California, Monday preparatory to
a one-days whirlwind campaign for

waiting to fix his crumbled collar,
started for q San Francisco ferry to

mass meeting in Exposition auditor

gutter, grab him by the collar and
wake him up. Give him an earful

BRADY MAKES OFFER
IN LETTER TO BANK
Farmers May Buy Bonds and Get
Reduction on Charges Made For

This is the last day for taking sub
scriptions to the second liberty loan,
and the response must be hearty and
eager or Elmore county will fail to
make its quota and be listed as one
of the Stacker counties of the state.
In buying a liberty bond, the pur-
chaser is not giving the government
anything, he Is merely loaning his
money at the rate of interest it COM
mands in the markets of the world
for securities of equal value and
safety. One by giving personal at
tention to his money and working
with it can undoubtedly make
larger percent but there are advant-
ages in the liberty loan that will
make it one of the best possible in
vestments 1t is free of all taxes ex-
cept the excess profit and super taxes
and it will undoubtedly be quoted at
a price enough above par within the

the face of the bond. Even at the

In response to a letter written by
F. E. Austin recently to, Senator
Brady, the following reply has been
received.
Pocatello, Oct %, 1917
Mr. F. e. Austin, Vice Pres,
First National Bank,
Mountain Home, Idaho.
Dear Mr. Austin:
have your letter of October goth,
in which you call my attention to the
fact that some of the farmers feel
unable to take the amount of Liberty
Bonds that they would like to, for the
reason that they feel that they must
use their money in payment of inter.
est, maintenance, etc, due to the
Mountain Home Cooperative Irriga-
tion Company. l want to help the
good cause along in every way that
| can, and this letter is to say that
the Mountain Home Cooperative
Irrigation Company will receive Lib
erty Bonds at par, and accrued inter
est on same, in payment for interest,
maintenance or principal that may be
due to said company at any time up
to and including January l, 1918.
Furthermore, in order to encour
age you and the citizens of your com
munity in the good work that you
are doing, in the way of securing sub
scriptions to the Liberty Loan, | will
say that the Mountain Home Coop
erative Irrigation Company will ac-
cept Liberty Bonds subscribed for at
this time, and up to and including
October 9th, 1917 that may be
tended to said Company in payment OF
interest, maintenance, or principal,
up to and including November l,
1917, at a premium of l per cent,
that is to say we will receive any of
said bonds in any amount that may
be rendered as above indicated at
101.
l am not sure that you have these
bonds ready for delivery and any
bonds or orders for bonds that may be
left with your bank shall have the
benefit of this offer.
Very truly yours,

GREAT MUSICAL PROGRAM

The program to be given by the
Oberlin College Glee Club on Janu-
airy 5th has just been announced. 1t
promises to be very rare musical
treat, and comprises very unusual
and interesting variety of compost
tions. Some of the most ambitious Sc
lections ever written for male voices,
a few of the simple but delicate num-
bers, vocal and instrumental solos,
clever encores and costumed stunts,
and spirited and patriotic selections,
will make up the entertainment. The
predominant thing, however, in the
program is the nign-class musical Sc
lection. The humorous features will
be funny and wholesome, but based
upon good musical construction. Good
music, well rendered, seems to be the
motto for the Oberlin Club; all else
must be subordinate and in proper re-
Iation to this simple high aim.
The concert is to be given under
the auspices of the lower grades of
the public school, and the proceeds
are to be given to the Red Cross.

LARCENY GRARS

Did the Republicans do right in
Killing the sundry bill at the close of
he session of the legislature? Read
he following from Mr.. Faulkner's po-
itical letter in the Enquirer of De-
.ember 16 and be convinced Of the
wisdom and patriotism of that action:
Aside from these things there
is about 900 pounds pressure in the
extra session boiler caused by the
desire of special interests to be
served. These are in the raiding
sundries appropriation bill, jammed
full of plums, larceny grabs and
favors which the Republican floor
leader, Hon. Frank Reighard, of
Fulton, wouldn't let go through the
lower house. As a matter of fact,
it should have been sent to the fore
man of the Franklin county grand
jury for investigation at the hands
of that body. There are reasons for
believing that the state administra-
tion was as pleased as Peter over
the vicarious slaughter of this
skunk which has crept under the
capitol, though, of course, it had to
look sorry and chastened by defeat.
Outside of the real burglary in the
measure there are other halfway
legitimate claims. But even these
are open to sincere challenge.
The honest farmers, for instance,
want some hundred thousand dol
lars and then some, for claims
awarded for the slaughter by the
state of tubercular cattle. They
want the legislature to hasten hith-
er and appropriate the money in
stanter. The Ohio State Grange
has approved these claims, and also
wants an appropriation for the sup
port of the State Market Bureau
in the Department of the State
Board of Agriculture. The Build
ing Trades Council of Cincinnati de-
sires cash set aside to pay the sal
aries of the newly created State In
spectors of Steam Pipe Fitting, a
thing that raises the belief that
there must be some non-union pipe
filters at work in Ohio who are to
be chased out of their places. This
being the season of Christmas,
nothing will be said about the State
Fair grounds snatch-up, the raid
for increased estimates by highway
contractors, nor the rest of the loot
ing operations which got by the
complaisant Senate only to be
slugged, bound and slowed away in
the virtuous lower House of Repre-
sentatives.
In the interest of truth it should
be said that Mr.. Reighard and the
Republican minority in it's fight to kill
these "pldms, larceny grabs, and ia
vors" had to go up against the pres
sure of the Democratic majority, the
state administration and Governor
Cox personally. There were certain
just things in it, such as the items
for paying farmers for slaughtered
tubercular cattle, the salaries of leg
islators, etc, cunningly placed there
to corral enough votes to put through
the jobs. 1t is to be recorded that
it was the honest, courageous Repub
lican minority, alone and unaided
which saved the taxpayers of Ohio
probably 100000 of "plums, larceny
grabs, and favors," which "shoult
have been sent to the foreman Of tn,
Franklin county grand jury for in
vestigation."

A SAMPLE?

Ohio has been having a period O.
trying hardship, suffering and misery.
One of the big coal states, it has
lacked coal in a protracted period of
zero weather.
When James M. Cox, chief magis-
trate of our state, sought to appeal
to Doctor Garfield for the relief of
his people, five millions of American
citizens, he was told to transact his
business over the long distance tele-
phone 'with a stenographer." Did he
He did not
When Senators Harding and Pom
creme made every effort to get into
The Presence and explain the appall-
ing needs of the suffering people of
Ohio and get relief, they were told
that Doctor Garfield was mot in" or
was "busy." A similar effort was
made to shunt them off onto some
subordinate. Did they permit this I?
| They did not. Furthermore, they in
tend to do business with the chief of
the fuel administration or know the
reason why.
1t is to be hoped that the fuel ad-
ministration at Washington is not a
fair sample of the conducting of pub
! lie business in the other departments

TEDDY ON THOMPSON

Here is Colonel Roosevelt's reply
to DR.. W. o. Thompson's recent char
acterization Of him as the kaiser's
twin, representative of the jungle
school of morals, as one who idolized
war:
president Thompson has a right to
think whatever he pleases, no matter
how foolish it is" declared Colonel
Roosevelt. "No one but a man with
the brains of three guinea pigs would
believe such a statement. 1t is of no
consequence to me, but it is of con-
sequence to you when president of
a great university repeats a story told
in jest as the truth.
81 was president of the United
States seven and a half years, and
during that time not one American
soldier or sailor even fired rifle shot,
and not one American soldier or sailor
was injured by foreign foe.
diplomatic relations with foreign
countries during that time were dis
charged in an honorable and an up
right manner. An honorable and up
right man will not infict injustice and
an honorable man will not submit to
injustice.
During those seven and halt
years we wronged no one, and none
wronged US. And there is a we'll
grounded belief it would not have
been conducive to good health for any
one to have wronged u.s."
Colonel Roosevelt is giving his time
to great public and patriotic services
and that without remuneration. The
only effect of DR.. Thompson's criti
cism, although of course not so in
tended, will be to weaken the effect o.
Colonel Roosevelt's labors. 1t woulC
be interesting to have DR.. Thompson
set forth the reasons which impelleC
the criticism of Roosevelt at thi:
time.

OHIO CROP SUMMARY
Report of Wheat and
Rye in Ohio, From United States
Department of Agriculture Bureau
of Crop Estimates.

WHEATON the state of Ohio,
2,140,000 acres, compared with 1885,
600 acres last year. Condition De-
cember l was SO per cent of normal,
compared with 81 per cent a year ago
and 88 per cent a ten-year average.
RYE. - For the state of Ohio,
100000 acres, compared with 100000
acres last year. Condition December
was SO per cent of normal, COM
pared with 89 per cent a year ago and
80 per cent a ten-year average.
WHEAT. - The wheat conditions
during August and September, to-
gether with labor shortage, tended to
decrease the acreage of wheat in
Ohio, sown during 1917. The condi-
ton Of the wheat crop December 1,
SO per cent of normal, compared with
81 per cent a year ago, and SO per
cent the ten-year average, was due
to the extreme drouth prevailing all
through the entire state during plant
ing season. The root growth of the
wheat plant shows a lack of vigor.
1t is far below normal in this re-
spect, but owing to late planting, the
seed bed was we'll prepared and fu-
ture condition will depend upon plenty
of snow and favorable spring wealth
er. The acreage of 1917 shows an in
crease of 9.7 per cent over that of
1916.
RYE.-There is a rapid tendency in
Ohio to increase the acreage of rye
as shown by the figures of 1917 crop,
compared with that of 1916 The 1871
crop shows an increase of 1856 per
cent over the crop of 1916. However,
the same prevalent adverse weather
conditions that affected the wheat has
reduced the rye condition from 88.8
per cent of last year, and 92.2 per
cent of a ten-year average, down to
BAL per cent of normal of December
1. The root stock of the rye shows
more vigorous growth and sturdy
formation than shown by the wheat.
With favorable weather conditions, j,
such as plentiful snow covering, and
minimum of extreme freezing, the
present indication of the rye plant
seems to justify the suggestion that
there will be good production.
