GUESSING at Road Cost.

There are so many conflicting state
ments regarding the cost of road work
that the desirability Of comprehen-
sive method of highway accounting Is
evident in order that taxpayers may
not be mise conc erning the total ex-
pense of such work, says the Amer
lean Highway. The Iowa state high
way commission has had considerable
difficulty in finding out what the coun-
ties in that state have been spending,
because of this failure to have COM
plete system of accounts.
One rich county reported collecting
$4,000 for road work, but after inves-
tigation the commission found $32,5O0
had been collected. An investigation Of
the accounts Of another wealthy cOun-
ty reporting So 200 collected revealed
total collection of $4,000 The discrep-
ancies were not due to an intention to
hide the amount Of the funds, but
merely to lack Of good accounting.

LOGGED OFF LAND
BILL IS FAVORED

| BOISE, Feb. 8.-Logged-off lands in
north Idaho are to be sold by the state
on better terms should the bill by
Representative holman, which has
| likely that an effort will be made to
have the bill amended in the senate
to make the proposition of retaining
farm from the now waste sections
still more attractive to the home
seeker. Under the Bohman bill the
purchaser has the customary 40 years
in which to pay for land bought from
the state, but instead of having to pay
6 per cent interest the rate is 2 per
cent for the first five years, per cent
for the next five years, and for the re-
naming 80 years 6 per cent. 1t is also
provided that no payment on the prin-
cipal must be made during the first
10 years.
Argument in favor of the bill was
that it would give the man with very
limited means a chance to take hold of
a piece of logged-off state land to
develop it into "a home. The clause |
that may be amended in the senate |
is a provision that one-tenth of the |
purchase price must be paid at the
time the sale is made. 1t is contended
that the state is not materially ben
Gifted by having the cash payment,
md that on the other hand, it is bad
needed by the homeseekers to aid
putting up buildings and making
he first clearing.

ROADS INTEREST
MORE THAN WAR
NO QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE IN
KENDRICK AND TROY ATTRA CTS
MORE ATTENTION

KENDRICK, Feb. 8.-The movement
that has been started by the citizens
of Juliaetta, Troy and Kendrick to
create a highway district that will
give these towns and their tributary
country a system of roads construct
ed on modern lines is attracting more
attention in this section than the Eu-
ropean war. No question of import
ance has come up in years that is be-
ing more freely discussed than the
move to create highway district that
includes the territory of these towns
Petitions are being circulated in every
section ENLARGED within the lines of
the district and are being signed so
freely as to leave no doubt of its sue
ceeding 1t is argued that the money
that is spent annually filling up the
chuck holes and making temporary
improvements will more than pay in
terest on bonds of sufficient amount
to build a system of roads in this sec
ton that will add material to the con-
venience and economical handling of
the farm business.
AS one prominent farmer said: |
'Show me any improvement in the |
condition of the roads in the Potlatch |
country today over those of Is years
ago, after all the money that has
been laid out in the past!"
The town of Kendrick is pointed
out as an illustration of how money
has been wasted in the last 20 years
on its main street without any great
improvement. The records show
that on the mile of road included in
the town limit no less than $15,-
900 has been spent on it, sum suffi
cient to give it a first-class pavement
1t is argued that there is no section
of Latah county that the needs of
good roads are more imperative than
in this section and that now is the
drick boosters, headed by e. P Atch-
ison are giving the movement their
hearty support and are lining up
favorable sentiment among the farm
ars that promises to make the movee

 A pathetic feature oI the situa- ation and showing how far the law lessness of the copper companies through their gunmen has heen al. lowed to be carried is that many have families in BisDee and their condition is very doubtful, at the present time as the men can hear nothing from that place.
