Distribution of Man Power.

Ninwing the matter in the
light of sober reason. which is
most necessary Mt this time
we must all see wherein con
sress had weighty rcasons for
It's action IN voting tn raise an
army by seluctivc draft.
We can not think that our
law makers were inspired by
any prejudice against the
volunteer system, nor that they
intended any discredit to the
volunteer spirit of our people
The impelling reason seems to
have been that the recruiting
of an army il only one of the
huge tasks before this country.
There is also the huge tast Of
practically feeding the world,
or Mt least our allies, which
calls for much thought and
dissemination IN the muster
ing Of our forces.
1t is the intention of the gov
ernmcnt in recruiting the
regiments needed 20 Interfere
ns little az possible with the
various branches OF industry.
particularly that Of farming.
70 this end the authorities
were convinced that the selec-
tion Of recruits should not be
left to voluntary action, but
placed in competent hands that
should decide who should fight
nn'i who should work.
With tho calling Of men to
colors, the people should take
this sensiblc view of the situa-
ton, and realize that if one
young man is exempted and
another is not, there is some all
powerful reason for the appur-
ent discrimination. Those most
urgently needed in Industrial
life should be the last to be
summoned, for when industry
stops the army is soon ut n
stnndstlll.
The time has como when cv-
cry man is expected to do his
full duty in whatever station
he may be called. There is no
room for slnckcrs and soreheads
and grnmblers.

BUSINESS TRANSACT ED-COUNClL ALLOWS REQUl- SETON OF SCHOOL BOARD FOR $3,OOO-WlLL POST PROPOSALS FOR WOOD BIDS.

The payment of the salaries of the city employees was also authorized. Owing to the fact that the city has been paying eleven dollars a cord for wood, it was de cided to post notices calling for bids for supplying the city with con siderable quantity of fuel, the amount to be determined by the council. The matter of buying a dog pound was also taken up, and was referred to a committee with power to act as they thought for the best interest of the town.
 Alttl lllt duJOuI HlIltllI OI llt ltSu lar meeting, the board of equaliza tion met to take up the matter of hearing complaints of property own CTS whose assessment had been raised. During this session City At torney Clegg stated that the town had the right under law passed by the territorial legislature in it's 1913 session to levy taxes on money which is deposited not only in local banks, but also that known to be existing outside the corporate limits of the town, whether it is in the territory or on the Outside. He also declared that the city also has power to levy taxes on money owing on mortgages and other property of like nature.
 In the complaint of J. H. Groves the council acted on this advice MT. Groves appeared to protest against his assessment being raised from the amount which he turned in, s4150, to s5,350. In the discus sion he stated that he had s250 in the bank, and on being asked if he had as much as s2,OOO owing to him on mortgages and otherwise that
