WILL CLEAN
HOUSE SOON
STATE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRA.
TI0N HAS BUT SHORT TIME
LONGER IN OFFICE
WILL FILL 1888 POSITIONS
State Boards Have Power To Make
Many Appointments

One hundred and lightweight jobs,
ranging from $65 to $33333 per month,
will be distributed by the republican
state administration between now and
January 9Th, when it takes up the reins
of the state government. No changes
will probably be made in the thirty
six other of the two hundred and twen-
ty four state jobs, as the department
heads over these employees have either
been reelected or will hold over, says
the Boise Statesman.
Members of the new administration
have made no announcements as to
the personnel of their departments.
Governor-elect d. w. Davis has an
nounced that efficiency will be the
first test of the persons he appoints to
state jobs.
Hints have been given out, although
without official authority, that some
surprises may be expected in the APP
pointments. 1t is rumored that sew
eral democrats who aided the repub-
licans in the fight against the nom
partisan league candidates who stole
the bourbon ticket, are to be rewarded,
and this speculation has set many I'M
der clerks and stenographers at the
state house in high state of hope and
anticipation.
The approach of new administra-
tion is always an anxious time for
clerks and stenographers who have
had taste of state jobs. 1t is then
that party lines fade away completely
and it is surprising how many clerks
and stenographers there are who have
been working under a passing admin
istration who have no politics at all',
and are therefore open to conviction
even if they must accept job with
the new administration along with
their new political ideas.
Sometimes, because of a shortage of
applicants for a particular and exact
ing job, this chameleon type of job
holder is forgiven his political sins
against the new administration: but
instead of polished stool at the pie
counter he must be content with a
soap-box. so to speak, that does not
give him such command of the pie
counter as the deserving ones get.
But the number on the inside looking
out for the approach of the men with
the jobs does not compare with the
/, number of job-hunters on the outside
lined up along the line of march OF
every one of the new officials. These

TO WORK NOW
FOR DRAINAGE
BRITISH COLUMBIA GOVERNMENT
HAS COMPLETED SURVEY OF
OVERLOOKED LANDS
ASK SENATOR BORAH'S AID
Would Secure Treaty Between Cana
da and the United States

A. j. Kent, secretary of the Inter-
national ,and Interstate Drainage Com
mittee for the reclamation of the Koot-
enai valley of Idaho and British Col
umbia, received word this week from
Creston, B. c. TO the effect that the
British Columbia government has COM
pleted a survey it started last summer
of the overfowed lands in the Creston
district.
This survey just completed cost
about SIS 100000 and with it finished the
engineers of the United States and
of British Columbia will have accurate
and dependable data from which they
can figure all costs of proposed drain
age.
The next move towards drainage will
be to secure a treaty between Canada
and the United States which will per-
NIT reclamation work to be done in
British Columbia which will be of
benefit to land in Idaho and which Will
be partially paid for by the u. S. gov
eminent or landowners of the affected
districts in Idaho.
Secretary Kent proposes to bring
this matter at once to the attention OF
Senator w. E. Borah who has viewed
the Kootenai valley drainage project
believes that il is feasible and is an
xious to secure government aid for
it, In fact Senator Borah and all
the representatives of this state in
congress have agreed to do all in their
power for the Kootenai valley drain
age project.
The International and Interstate
Drainage Committee was elected at a
meeting held in this city many months
ago and which was attended by large
delegation of Creston citizens. The
committee consists of Guy Constable
of Creston, chairman; A. J. Kent, OF
Boomers Ferry, secretary; Charles G
Reeder and F.. W. Anderson, of Spok-
ane; c. o. Rogers, of Creston; NJ. F
McAnelly, of Copeland.
The Creston people are enthusiastic
for drainage and are making every
effort to secure an appropriation from
their legislative bodies for the work
Now that the war is over it is certain
that some steps will be taken at once
towards the actual reclamation OF thu
Kootenai valley.

NOW AUDITING
COUNTY BOOKS

Byron Defenbach, formerly of Sand
point and now living at Lewiston, was
in town Wednesday meeting old friends
and acquaintance.
Mr.. Defenbach is the head of the
public accounting firm of Byron Def
enbach & Sons, and on his arrival here
began the work of auditing the books
of Boundary county, beginning with
the close of his work in 1916. His
audit will cover all the county offices
up to the coming change of officials
in January.
In speaking of his work to Her
aid representative Mr.. Defenbach had
the following to say:
1.-The practice of having all county
Offices checked every two years is. be-
coming almost universal in Idaho.
This is our fifteenth county contract
in the state: we have audited four
counties twice and two others are pre-
pairing to employ us for the third time
We have checked every county in
North Idaho except two, besides sever
al in the south and have also been en-
ployed by large number of towns and
independent school districts and high
WAYS. In several cases we have found
large shortages and have recovered
considerable sums for the taxpayers
but the primary object of our work Is
to improve the methods in use and tc
carry from one community to another
the most modern ideas and policies
looking to more efficient and econom-
ical government.
I'VE now have contracts with sew
eral counties similar to Boundary.
where the desire is to give a clear
ance" to outgoing officials and to pro
vide a "clean slate" for those who are
assuming charge.
Our experience is that the northern
counties of the state are, as a rule
better governed than those of the
south. a fact which we ascribe largely
to the more frequent employment o
outside professional accountants in thu
former section.
while all the work is under my per
sonal supervision, it has reached {
point where our firm is employing
from three to five men all the time.
THE work in Boomers Ferry viii
be under the direct personal charg'
of Mr.. Clark b. Moon: he has had lonl
experience and has been with us TO
some time We consider him rea
expert in municipal accounting AM
are sure that his work in Boundar.
county will give satisfaction as it ha
done elsewhere"
Mr. Defenbach states that bushes
conditions are very good in Soutl
Idaho. the towns of Pocatello and Ida
no Fails being especially prosperous
But he adds that after all Boomers Fer
ny seems like home.

WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS NOW
Urgent Appeal of the National Tuber-
culOsis Association

Democracy has vanished the kng-of
kings of the dark forces of Autocracy,
which have ruthlessly sacrificed mil
lion of human lives to their ambition
for dominion.
Democracy has written FINS on
Kaiserism.
Now Democracy in America is pitted
against the king of-kings of the legions
of death-tuberculos which takes
toll of human lives exceeding that of
any other disease by which mankind is
afflicted
In former years. the nationwide
campaign against the white plague,
lead by the National tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION, has been supported in the
main, by the sale of the little Red
Cross Christmas Seals, which every
one who had even penny to spare,
might buy.
The war has served to reveal to
America more tellingly than ever be-
fore how enormous our tuberculosis
problem is and how imperative is the
continuance and extension of the cam
paign against tuberculosis, for tens
of thousands of the nations young
men have been rejected in the draft
as unfit for military service on account
of tuberculosis.
| The American Red Cross, therefore,
faces an obligation to assist this cam
paign to the utmost. To that end and
as a means of replacing the usual sales
of Christmas seals at a time when as
few appeals as possible should be
made to the public, The Red Cross has
set aside an appropriation to cover
the financial necessities of the CAM
paign for the year 1919. The Nation
al tuberculosis Association, and all
state and local tuberculosis agencies
throughout the country, will on their
side, join the Red Cross Christmas
Roll Call for universal membership
Every new and renewing member OF
the Red Cross will be awarded ten OF
the little Christmas seals as messeng-
ers of health.

job-hunters are more persistent than
the state house employees who hope to
hold over. They pile high decks of
the new officials with applications. tel
egrams and testimonials. They fur
nish undisputable political pedigrees,
which, if there were anything in a
name, would certainly entitle them TO
jobs. Some of these ardent appli-
cants, in their desire to impress the
new officials with the fact that they
are absolutely right, even forget to
prove that they are efficient.
One delusion among the amateur Of
ficeseekers is that the governor is the
man who gives out all the jobs. More
than 100 appointments are made by the
governor but outside of about ten
really large jobs, which he must fill
only after a conference with the po-
litical leaders of the state. most of the
100 jobs are on boards and commits
sions that pay only a per diem COM
pensation during the actual employ
ment of the appointee in his work,
which lasts in most cases, only few
weeks out of the year. Compared
with the real plums, these might be
called crab-apple jobs so far as the
salary is concerned.
Most of the big jobs are filled by the
appointive boards. as in the cases OF
the state institutions, where places
are filled by the governing boards
composed of from three to FIVE of the
elective state officials. Jobs in the
state land department are controlled by
the state land board composed of the
governor, attorney general, secretary
of state, superintendent of instruction
and auditor.

Dollars are cheap today. They are
worth only about half as much as
they were before the war, in point of
service they will render to their own
efs. While they are cheap is good
time to gather in as big a supply of
them as possible. The time will come
when they will not be so cheap and it
will take much more of labor and its
products to obtain one of them. The
thrifty and farseeing man will gather
up all he can of these cheap dollars,
and store them away for the proverb-
ial rainy day. There is no better store
house than the federal treasury. Dol
lars exchanged for liberty loan bonds
are like bread cast on the waters.
They will return. But they will re-
turn larger and more valuable than
they were when they were turned
over to Uncle Sam. Not only this, but
they bring in a steady flow of interest
