1t is hoped some means will be de-
vised to show our appreciation of the
patriotism of our boys under age in
the service. No member would dare
oppose prohibition or woman suf-
frage. Both have come to stay and
a candidate could as safely announce
himself a pro-German as oppose Ell
Their.
Regarding road appropriations, they
should be limited during the war to
the care and upkeep Of the roads
now constructed and the building of
highways for communities not served
by railroads. Our war expenses are
increasing daily and every dollar that
the strictest economy at home can
conserve should be used to buy bonds
and back our army abroad. The
statement has been made that we are
far behind other counties in road i'm
provement; the inference being that
we do not get our share of road ap-
preparations. 1t is true the counties
of the state having a much larger
taxable wealth than ours have about
completed their road system. They
have only done what theyhave a right
to do and they have also permitted
share of their taxes to be used in aid
ing surrounding counties. For this
we should feel grateful. 1t may in
terest the voters to know that the
public highway levies in Stevens
county to date are....................$9 0,918
Total expenditures 1872 24
Pend Oreille county levies.......3 9,775
Pend Oreille Co. expenditures. 62,849
These figures do not include any
permanent highway money, either for
construction or maintenance that may
have been expended in either of these
counties and neither does it include
any portion of automobile license
fees apportioned to the counties to the
permanent highway maintenance
fund. 1t would seem from this
statement that Stevens and Pend
Oreille counties have been generously
treated. In road appropriations
there now remains unexpended from
the appropriation for the various
highways of the state $5OS,OO0. Our
highway commissioner on account of
the high cost of construction declines
to let contracts for road work. We
should thank him, and hope that he
will continue at the head of that re-
sponsible office. The above figures
were obtained from Mr.. James Allen,
state highway commissioner, and can
be verified at his office.
During the last two sessions a de-
termined effort has been made by
members from agricultural districts
to pass what was known as the Re-
volving Powder Fund bill. This law
is designed to furnish cheap powder
for clearing land. On account Of the
high cost of explosives it is not prob
able anything further can be done I'M

til the close of the war. feel sure
of it's ultimate passage.
According to the State Capitol
News an attempt will be made during
the next session to raise the salaries
of state and county officials. / am
strongly opposed to this measure.
Salary adjustment of officials should
be made during normal times. Once
increased they are never lowered, no
matter what the financial conditions
are that face the tax payer. In
short, | may sum up my views as fol-
lows:
The task that confronts us today
and which takes precedence over
every other is the successful conclu-
sion of the war, and all business of
the state and citizen should be SUBJ
ordinated as much as is necessary to
that end. In conclusion-if l am
reelected to the legislature, I will
continue to vote for conservative,
sane legislation, keeping in mind al
ways when considering appropriations
the ability of the property owner to
pay. Public money does not come
from mysterious source. 1t comes
from the taxpayerS-Yours respect
fully, C. r. Mcmillan.

TO VOTERS OF STEVENS AND
PEND OREILLE COUNTIES

In asking reelection to the office
of state senator make the following
statement of my views on subjects of
interest to the voters of this district.
As the United States has entire
control of financing, raising and
equipping the army, l cannot think of
any important legislation in connec-
ton with the war other than granting
the right to vote to absentee soldiers.
This am sure will be given them i'm
mediately after the legislature assem-
bles. This measure was favorably
discussed at the last session but not
passed on account of the return of the
army from the Mexican border.
