The Republican hopes to see the
day when the middleman will dis
appear. For many years we have
been convinced that there is no rea-
son why the man who consumes a
ton or a sack Of potatoes should not
buy direct from the. producer. We
cannot see why we should, when we
want five tons of hay, not buy from
the producer, rather than paying a
middle party from 81 to SIS ton
to make the transfer. We do not
understand why the farmers can
not run their own selling agencies,
why the state cannot do the grad
ing. and the consumers do their own
buying through. possibly, consum-
ers' leagues. This would cut out
the credit system, would eliminate
the middle man, and permit the
consumer and the producer to d.
vide. the millions of dollars now lev
led by the middle man. a

We propose the abolition of the
office of probate judge, giving the
work, scarcely an hour a day in
Clearwater county, to the county
auditor. This should save the tax
payers at least $1,000 per year.
Whoever is elected from Clear
water county to the state legisla-
ture in either branch should be
pledged to support this program.
The office Of probate Judge is not
necessary, and economy demands
its elimination, County Commits
sioper Fred Choate is advocating
such a change in the interest of
economy, and stated to the Repub-
lican that he would not support a
candidate for the legislature who
was not right on this change. The
Latah county board has virtually
eliminated the Office of probate
Judge by combining it with that of
Clerk of the Court. The Clearwat-
err county board tried this but fail
ed because Mr.. Shreve absolutely
baked when asked to assume the
judicial robes of a probate Judge.
He didn't mind the clerical work,
he said, but being called Judge
got his goat.

bankrupting of the county, was all
imposed on the people by democrats

clared to be honest citizens. Yet
think of the record. and look up

wasting of 100000 on a fake re-

by democrat whose campaign talk

The Nease deal was monstrous
crime against the taxpayers Of this
county, and the contract was made
by County Commissioners Zelenka,
Torgerson and Harrison, the later a
republican from Weippe, over the
objection and protest Of the people.
The rights OF the people were
trampled under foot. the protest Of
taxpayers was ignored, while these
men, elected to serve the people,
fastened tremendous debt on the
backs Of the taxpayers. part Of
which the people escaped by taking
their county government out Of the
hands of their unfaithful and un-
worthy public servants. It would
seem strange, indeed, were the peo-
pie to ever again place men Of this
character back in places of public
responsibility and power. And it
II still more strange to find the

Hogs are not receiving the atten-
tion at the hands Of our farmers
they deserve. In fact hogs are be-
ing placed on the list of undesir-
ables, on the ground they are un-
profitable. We are inclined the OPP
inion that the hog is not getting a
square deal. The fault is rather
with the farmers, who are. as we
see it, employing wrong methods in
feeding, which may easily be REM
edted,, The hog is justly called the
mortgagor litter. And the hog has
earned this title. But the hog can
not develop at profit unless the
farmer can produce cheap feed. 1t
is all question Of the difference
between cost of production and the
selling price. and under present
conditions the food problem is the
big problem.
But let us. look at the cost OF
harvesting grain, and inquire II 1t
might not be profitable to give the
hog q chance. Last year we read
Of a Moscow farmers who grew
peas, harvested them with hogs.
and turned his crop into a much
larger profit than he could have
realized from any other method.
The hogs were weighed into the
field when the peas We're ripe. and
later, after cleaning up the crop.
weighed out at an immense profit.
Confronted with high priced and
exceedingly scare labor; with in
creased harvesting costs, and with
other prohibitive charges, the grain
grower is up against a pretty stifr
game, and 1t might be we'll to fig-
urt a little on the proposition OF
letting hogs harvest the grain.

everything in his power to hamp-
er and undermine one Of the
most necessary and most sue
cessful OF the war enterprises
the food administrati ton. Here
again, the objection is not so
much against the fact that he is
critical of the administration is
against his spirit and methods. A
sincere analysis and discussion of
the food administration failures
and Of the farmers discomfort
might lead to useful legislation,
and the probability Is strong that
such legislation would strengthen
Mr.. Hoover's powers. But that
is the last result Senator Reed
desires. He prefers 70 attack,
and to attack with a ridicule and
innuendo which merely show
how such weapons can be abused.
The senator took I'D the items
in the expense account one by
one and ridiculed them. He pre-
tended not to understand how
anyone could spend 50 much for
typeWriters, pencils, buttons,
photographs, moving picture
slides and medallions. all the
time ignoring the gigantic pub
licity campaign for conservation
which we have reason to know
has been so thorough. He omitted
to mention the erection Of large
new office buildings which have
been necessary. He questioned
the need for the salaries paid,
and at the same time limited that
there was something wrong about
the motives Of those who are
working without salary.
Why are such trivialitiea worth
noticinR2 For the reason that,
however absurd they seem, they
are invaluable ammunition for
the gossips and others who wish
to destroy public confidence in
Mr.. Hoover and his work. Such
a large undertaking as his is
inconceivably difficult. in the ma
ture of the case. It curbs and
annoys many interests and
individuals. As long as the food
administration acts for the best
interests Of the public. an honest
objection can be met. But it is
difficult to deal with submarines.
