MILK INSPECTION UNDER FIRE.

Where the advocates of milk control by the terri
tory probably failed before the Judiciary committee
az the senate yesterday was in not proving their
taims that the present city inspection is faulty
The supporters of city and county government
hence could get hearing for their accusation that
tic three bills are directed toward robbng the local
authorities of rightful functions
The Milk Commission which reported to the gov
crnor on February unanimously recommended that
The control of milk and daires be exclusively under
ne territory The report was signed by DIR. j. s. b.
Pratt, chairman, John Efinger, William III. Heen
deputy attorney general) and A. w. Hansen, terri
torial food inspector and recognized expert. In
that report many statements are made concerning
poor condition of dairies However it fails to make
out case absolutely in favor of territorial inspec
ton.
On Oahu, the municipality has taken over control
Of lairies. On Kauai, Maui and Hawaii the terri
toral authorities still have jurisdiction since these
counties have not exercised their right under the
territorial law pass ordinances that would place
milk supervision in county hands,
Now the commissions report finds much to crit
icze in these outside counties as well as on Oahu.
In other words, no clear case is made ont for the
argument that territorial supervision is more eici
ent than county supervision. 1t is not shown that
Other islands have advanced.
There does exist very lively suspicion in Homo
lulu that politics has been played with milk nspec
tion The mayors brother alleged to have been dis
missed from the territorial board of health as incom
petent is the milk inspector Nor is there any doubt
that the milk commission has found conditions on
Oahu that should not exist.
In the opinion of great many people, the present
dual system of sanitary inspection i'm the territory
is absolutely, inexcusably weak. There is twilight
zone of responsibility neither the terri
tory nor the city appears able to get effective action
Al few years ago there were ridiculous disputes be-
tween the two as to market inspection. Certainly
the laws need revision, and sanitary control should
be unified as far as possible
The milk commission has pointed out specific
faults in the city inspection results If the legisla
tre does not take from the city the right of control
Mayor Lane ought to lead movement to eradicate
these faults whether not it costs his brother the

BEGIN Seal Killing.

A few years ago when pelagic seal
ers fourished and seals also were
killed on the rookerles, II was the ia
vorite trick Of milady to develop a
hollow cough which left her better or
worse half the alternative Of send
ing her to Florida for the winter or
purchasing sealskin coat. Seals
then became scarce through the an
ceasing demand, and the government
stepped In and halted the killing.
This, observes the Seattle Post-1n-
telligencer, brought relief to father.
and he, since 1910, when the govern
ment took over the herds. has been
able to lay up a little money for the
coal bill. Comes now II. J. Christoffer,
assistant agent for the United States
bureau Of fisheries, with the depress-
ing information that the seal herds
on the Pribllof islands, st. Paul and
st. George, have increased to such an
extent that the government will start
killing and put the hides upon the
market. All this means that history,
with reference to the sealskin coat, is
going to repeat itself.

Russian Enterprise.

The enterprise of the Russian peas
ants is continually giving evidence of
the nations readiness for progress.
The phenomenal success Of the con-
sumers' leagues has enabled the es-
adjustment of numerous factories
and distributing centers on capital
owned by the peasants themselves.
The mistaken impression of the mujik
us q moneyless dweller on the soil is
brought into sharp contrast by the
realization that the Russian peasant
is now thriftily investing his savings
In Industrial enterprises. Thus, the
credit society of Sapojok, government
of Riazan, has just bought factory
for the purpose of manufacturing
agricultural machinery for $4,000
rhbles. Members of the Society alone
will be employed in making the win
moving and crushing machines.

THAT THREE PER CENT FUND


It is customary in a campaign for
the candidates for office to be as
sessed for campaign funds. In the
county the assessment is made by the
county committee, in the state by the
state central committee acting thru
the chairman. Under the present
form Of government no campaign
could be waged without the expenses
being paid from somewhere and it is
right and fair that the candidates
for Office should subscribe their pro
rata for this purpose.
Heretofore 1t has been customary
in both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties to make the campaign
assessments after the nominations
are made. A notable change has
been inaugurated in this state by the
Democratic party which is already
assessing three per cent of the sal
aries OF all officials and clerks hold
ing Office under democrat chiefs at
the state capital. But before the
levy was made, 1t is charged the
clerks were given increases In salary
more than sufficient to pay the three
per cent monthly levy. Thus indi-
rectIy the state is assessed for the
Democrat slush fund for 1918.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1917-07-20

That Secretary OF State Dougherty
has some compuncdons about this
raw method OF assessing clerks and
subs for the grand old cause for
1918 is evident from the fact that
Dougherty as collector OF the Doodle
first gave receipts to collectors OF
the fund and afterwards. feeling a
bit shaky about taking the money,
refused to accept payment or two,
and endeavored to send the parties
who paid to Stott, Ada county's de-
mocracy chairman, and Hindmann,
Stott's right hand bower. Stott and
Hindman refused to be mixed up in
the job and Dougherty accepted the
money.
The Assessment" is not popular
among the clerks. They are asked
to pungle for an election something
over year in advance. They may
or may not be employed at that time
and they may or may not be employ
ed should their chiefs be reelected
or re-appointed. They are asked to
take a long shot" and put up their
money to men who can and probably
would use It in the primary rather
than the election campaign.
If the collections are made thor
oughly by the state house Democracy
under Secretary of State Dougherty's
able charge, 5000 a month will be
raised from the stenographers and
clerks. That will help considerably
when the time comes, but the as
sessed have no assurance that the
spending Of the money will do them
any good. Hence the howl.-Sand-
point Review.
