FINE RECORD FOB THE COUNTY

Every citizen of Latah county will take pride in
report the condition of the public records and
county offices just submitted by Byron Deffenbach, the
expert accountant.
brief abstract of this report published in
the Sar-Mirror Friday evening calling special atten
ton to the efficiency and economy that maintains in
every county office. This report based Mr. Def
fenbach's findings after he had completed thorough
and searching audit of the county records
1t is true of course that expenditures for public
schools and public roads increasing from year
year; but this is it should be- These expenditures
in the nature of permanent investments should
make big returns to the community in the way of
better citizenship and better living conditions.
In all other departments of the county government
the cost of administration is lower that the
age cost in the past eight years This is remarkable
showing in view of the tremendous increase in the
cost of everything that enters into modern life. 1t
gives proof of the rigid economy and the
conduct of the county's business This fact is
phasized when the cost of administration in Latah
county is compared with the cost in other counties

The entire report, covering the full two years just
closed is creditable every way the county and
the put in charge of the countys affairs 1t may
be read with profit and pride by all who have the best
interests of the community at heart.

Idaho Press Notes
Spend Money on Roads

The recent session of the Idaho state
legislature provided for million
dollar bond issue, the proceeds to be
expended upon good roads in the
state. The bill providing the bond is
sue stipulates where the improve
ments are to be made, conditioned up
on the several counties matching the
state funds with like sums Thus the
million-dollar bond issue insures the
disbursement of two millions upon the
arterial highways of the state. But
this is not all. The federal funds
available as above enumerated will be
added to those of county and state and
Idaho will have a good roads awaken
ing. The million-dollar bond issue
carries $4,000 to be spent in Fourth
of July canyon. The forestry depart
ment. will also spend $4,000 in the
canyon. Thus if Kootenai county but
meets the situation, there will be a
veritab1e boulevard between this busy
mining district and the thrifty city up

TAKE POsTMAsTERs OUT OF. POLITICS

il is reasonably safe to say that the great mass
of the American people will be well pleased with the
order just issued Washington taking first second
and third class posmasters out of politics.
These what known the presidential Of
the appointments heretofore having been made by
the president and not by the department The fourth
class smaller postoffices, were placed under the
civil service commission in the closing days of Pres
ident Tafts administration.
Under the ruling postmasers in all the larger
communities will be chosen by competitive examina
tons. Under the old "spois" system none but Demo-
Gratis need apply this administration, and none but
Republicans under Republican administration. I'm
der the new ruling Democrats Republicans and all 9TH
ers will be equal footing
1t is charged that this ruling was not made until
most of the presidential offices filled with Demo-
This need be- considered serious objection
because the men in office must submit to exam
nations when their four-year expire. 1t may
be that being the inside they will better how
pass examination, this would be true any
case 1t goes without saying that if a postmaster is
wholly unfit for the office holds he will be elm
mated by the competitive examination.
The president will still have a partial choice. The
these highest the list of eligibles after
From this list he will make his appointment, and the
appointment must still be confirmed by the senate
The great gain in this is tibet it will bring the
postofices of the country just that much nearer to
business basis time it will result in better service
many the postoces have been treated
as so much party plumber to be divided among the
political party service. In this
way public business has suffered.
Another great evil of the old system is that the
time OF congressman, senators and even the presi-
dent been consumed in efforts to adjust matters
between rival candidates for the offices and rival
factions in the party. This time may be de-
voted to Legitimate public business
II IS noted that some of the big men in Washington
who have grown accustomed distributing political
plums among their constituents raising howl
against the ruling but it VIII stand and it will
prove blessing.

Cost of Transporting Food

The investigation of the experts in
regard to cost of living emphasize the
high transportation charges. Not
merely is freight large item, but
with labor costly, the trucking charges,
by the time articles have gone through
several hands, have added very ap-
preciably.
Years ago farmers used to sell more
direct to the cities and towns in their
immediate neighborhoods, and truck
ing and freighting was not so much of
a factor. Now more business is done
through jobbers and wholesalers and
one charge is piled on top of another.
The farmer sells to the wholesaler
because it is the easiest way, with the
least bother and time required. Many
times by displaying some enterprise,
and particularly by advertising in the
he could develop line of
near by customers that would take a

SMOKE AND ONIONS


The city of Chicago, having started big campaign
for home gardening within the city limits, has up
against unexpected difficulty The authorities find
that there is surprisingly large municipal where
garden vegetables will grow. The soil is all
right, but and air are lacking. The sunshine and
breezes of the Illinois prairie have the city
soil They lost in the smoke
Darkness, SCOT, cinders and poisonous gases from
soft coal combustion kill all but the hardest plants
And now Chicago is waking up all at once, to ask:
IF potatoes and onions won't grow under this
smoke pail, will children grow?"
The answer is, "They WON'T The smoke is bad
for them for the vegetables. And Chicago feels
like getting busy and graphing with the smoke problem
in earnest.
Moscow has such problem this to solve, and
that is why every good spot
inthe city should be made to raise crop in the coming
season.

CITY MANAGER PLAN

Pocateo is likely to be the first Idaho municipality
to try the city manager plan of government
Pocateo, like many other rapidly growing towns,
finds the old scheme of city government slow respond
to the demands of public sentiment, cumbersome and
expensive
Senator Cummings of that city was the author of
the city manager plan bill that passed the legislature,
although the demand for some such legislation is
widespread The bill provides that upon filing with the
city clerk petitions bearing the 20 per
qualified of any city of more than
inhabitants election shall be called which the
question of the adoption of the plan shall be sub
