By Straight Party Vote the
House Defeats Measure
Providing New System for
Handling Of State Lands.
TOO IMPORTANT FOR
so LATE IN SESSION
AID Valorem Tax Bill Au-
thorizing Levy to Raise
$1,OOO,OOO for State Pur-
poses, Passed Under Sus-
pension of Rules.

On a straight party vote the house
killed the senate bill known as No. 2l3
providing for a state investment by
reau TO conduct the loaning business
of the state and take it from the hands
of the state land board. Johnston of
Bingham championed the bill declar-
ing that it was the medium that would
satisfy the desires of everyone object
ing to the present land board system
and urged its passage. Storey or Ada
enthusiastically backed the bill also.
Moody of Bonner and Shearer of NeZ
Perez held that it was too late in the
session to spring so important mea-
sure, and that while they favored the
principle they held it impossible to
give the measure the consideration 1t
was entitled to. Shearer said that af-
ter two years during which the people
might become familiar with it's terms,
the next legislature might be in po-
sition to consider the proposed act.
On the roll call Shearer, Hussman,
Goehry and Lehrbas voted for the bill,
but before the vote was announced,
changed to the negative side. The 20
Republicans present voted for 1t and
had the Democrats not changed their
votes the bill would have passed. 1t
was introduced in the senate by the
committee on banks and banking and
passed by the upper house on the same
day of it's introduction and when re-
ported printed. In fact the bill was
printed before it was ever introduced in
the senate.
PASS AID vALoREM TAX.
The house passed the ad valorem
tax measure which was introduced in
the afternoon. 1t went through under
suspension of the rules. The bill au
thorizes the levy to raise $1,000,000 to
meet state expenses 1t will raise $780,
600 more than under the ad valorem tax
of two years ago. the increase being
necessary because of the increase that
was made in appropriations, especially
for state institutions to care for the
federal money they are to receive.
AT the same time the house passed
under suspension of the rules house
bill No. 3S7, which had also just been
introduced, appropr.ating $4,000 foe
salaries of district court judges and eX-
penses of courts; $1401.16 to take up
bank claims against the adjutant gem
erals department, $4,000 to pay preda-
tory animal claims for 1916 and $4,000
to pay miscellaneous items.

CREDIT AND CASH.

The following, written by IT he
Hired Man, in the Caldwell Trlb-
une, IS we'll worth reading and re-
Numbering:
eff the Hired Man was trading at
store that gave him credit, but
one day found another store that
would save him rs cents on three
dollar purchase. would he save the
two bits? No, l would not. There
is more at stake in deal like this
than the simple matter of saving your
two bits. One merchant is trusting
you all the while. There are times
when it is worth several two bits just
to be able to carry off the stuff you
need without paying for it at the
time. You ought to think of this
when you are running around here and
there with few dimes Stand by
the store that stands by you. OF
course if you pay cash all the VIII lie
and cash store will beat your
credit l do not see any harm in chang
ing trading places. but there is a
funny feeling comes stealing over pne
when he owes $40 at one store and
slips irto another to spend dollar OF
two cash just because he can take in
some leader that day for 10 cents less.
Avoid all these unnecessary funny
feelings and you will be better man.

WORK TO DO.

Towns don't just happen. They
are made, the fruit of hard,
persistent effort, and united endeavor.
Natural resources must be developed
Obstacles must be met and overcome.
There must be teamwork if the great
est results are to be attained Orp-
fino has much upon which to build. 1t
has been richly endowed by the Gre
ator. Great deposits of lime, cement,
timber are in our dooryard untouched.
Vast water power flows past our door
unused. Our work is to harness this
power ard utilize it to turn the wheels
of manufacturing establishments in
Orofno. We must join hands in this
work. Energy heretofore devoted to
distracting local quarrels must be
directed to more useful and lucrative
labor, or we, as community, cannot
grow as we should. A new country
needs much publicity. 1t needs ad-
vertising. 1t needs all the boosting
it can get, and here is enough work
to keep every newspaper in Clear
water county busy for some time.
This is good time to get busy. Let
US make 1917 the best year in the his
tory of our town and county.

POLITICAL AND INDUSTRIAL
SKIES BRIGHTER.

Demand for applying business
principles to public affairs has grown
stronger in the past year.
From city government to matte nal
affairs there is more pressure to Sc

There is a growing conviction that
business and industries, large and
small are more important than all
STRINGS of political pots.
While crusades against business
are becoming less popular, repres emit
atives of capital seem willing to

SANTo DOMINGO RICH LAND
10 Without Modern Means Of Trans
portatIsn, However. Having Only
One Short Railroad.

The Dominican republic is q good
sized and very wealthy country which
Is almost entirely without modern
means of transportation. 1t has only
one short railroad in bad repair ana
only a few wagon roads reaching
short distance inland from the princi-
pal ports. The great rich interior Is
traversed only by very difficult trails,
so that TO travel from one city to an
other you must go on horseback ana
swim across rivers.
This state of affairs has greatly re-
tarded the industrial development or
the country, but II has been a great
stimulus TO the inventive genius Of the
Dominicans, who have to transport ev-
erything either on horseback or By
boat.
The ability OF these people to fasten
all sorts of commodities upon the
backs Of ponies and burros is almost
Incredible. The typical Dominican
saddle is a bulky affair made of WOW
en- grass, with short stirrups set very
far forward, so that the rider sits IN
about the position of a man in chair.
This leaves the tanks of his ANNA!
clear for cargo. All the milk sold In
the city is delivered by countrymen so
mounted, with an immense milk can on
either side OF the mount. Eggs and
chickens are brought to town In bas-
kets the same way. Immense loads or
hay are mlraculously strapped to the
backs of burros till they look like four
legged haystacks. Kindling is brought
to town the same way and the valu-
able hardwoods of the forests come
down to the water front In billets load
ed on the backs Of pack animals.
