THE WORKMEN'S QUERY

Perhaps McAdoo thinks that since
he raised the wages of railway EN-
ployees the employees will always
give him credit, and will bestow their
censure upon any man who happens
to be in control if wages ever come
down again. But perhaps that won't
be the workman's view. He may in
quire why McAdoo didn't stick to the
job and keep the wages up.
Whenever you get enough of Gov
eminent operation, shout loud enough
to be heard back in Washington.

beer, ale, wine, porter or hard cider
where anyone may get it on Sundays

%. The giving away of such
liquors on trains, interurbans and at
depots will be lawful. 49, %
h "a. No city or village could impose
any regulation upon saloons, for the
Legislature only may pass laws upon
such subject and its laws must be gen.
eral-applying to the whole state.
25 A city or village could not by
ordinance nor even by vote of the peo-
pie collect any local saloon license
fees.
26. Or regulate saloon closing
hours.
27. Or the number of saloons.
%. Or the district wherein they
could operate.
20. Or the use of saloon screens.
80. Or the custom of treating in
saloons.
81. Or the cashing of pay checks in
saloons.
32. Or the employment of girls
therein.
33. Or the exclusion of dance halls
in connection with saloons.
81. Inasmuch as the amendment
provides no method of carrying into
effect the last clause of Tie amend
ment to ascertain the will of the peo-
pie in cities, villages and townships
upon prohibiting the manufacture,
sale and keeping for sale of vinous,
malt, brewed or fermented liquors
within such city, village or township,
such clause will be ineffective till The
legislature passes a law for holding
such election.
30. If the legislature does not pass
and put into effect a law licensing and
regulating saloons by May 7th, 1919.
then anybody and everybody may sell
such liquors at any time or place (Sun-
uoyo, HOiiudyS anu elcCIlOn udYS III
cluded), until such laws become opera
tive.
36. Should such an interval occur,
Michigan would be absolutely without
any restriction or regulation on the
sale or use of beer, wine, ale, porter
and hard cider-the state would be
wide open on those liquors in the
widest sense of the word.
81. Before such law could be passed
and put into operation, saloons could
probably be established anywhere in
the state without any license or reg
ulations.
3S. Such liquors could be possessed
in any quantity in private residences.
80. The manufacture, sale, keeping
for sale, giving away, bartering, or
furnishing of spirituous liquors will
still be forbidden.
40. At the election April 7th every
registered elector, men and women,
may vote on the amendment.

A barn owned by Bowling and
Brown of West Owosso, located or
Cedar street, was wrecked by fire
early Saturday night. It is not
known how the blaze started. The
barn was a mass of fire when the de-
partment reached the scene and only
the shell was left when the flames
were extinguished. The loss was
about $500. Sunday noon, the depart
ment was called to Fulmer's drug
store, where pile of paper in the
basement had been ignited from the
furnace. The only damage was that
done by smoke.

Predicts Drop in Wages

Senator Harding declared that the
standard of wages paid to American
workmen must come down.
You cannot reduce the present cost
of living and keep up the present
American wage. 1t is demagogy to
say otherwise. 1 think this war will
have been waged in vain if you go
back to the old conditions that pre-
vailed before the war. But if you do
not have fairer division of the pro-
fits of business here, you will have
more bolshevism in the United States
than you have in Russia"
Senator Harding told of an Ameri-
can soldier who came into his office
recently, just after returning from
France. He asked him if he had been
fighting for the Presidents fourteen
peace points. The soldier replied:
I'll, no! / don't even know
what they are"
$50 let us stop this talk about fight
ing for democracy" Senator Harding
continued.
1--WE have been wandering in maze
Of dreams. We have forgotten the
practical things. We can best stop
the march of bolshevism by appealing
to the deliberate American under
standing.
"The. man who expects to stop it by
the application of charity is chasing a
rainbow that has no end"

and electric power and a fine lot
Of accessories in a marble cabinet
calico fer explanations as to how
mcdern dentistry is operated in these
days
The doctor wore a neat white,
close-fitting sacque coat that Is a
little different from anything We had
yet seen, and we learned that it was
designed and adopted by the last
national convention of dentists at
Chicago in December last.
A touch of a button sets motor
to working to furnish drilling power
and air pump. A storage tank Is
always charged with supply OF air
that he can release and pour into
the cavity Of tooth thru tiny
silver nozzle, to cleanse or dry the
cavity. He draws the air into the
tooth cool or warm according to the
way he presses the nozzle with his
thumb If he prefers to use air that
is moist, he draws it thru another
nozzle.
1t used to be that a dentist had to
have daylight for his work, but now
the cabinet we speak of is rugged
up with various kinds of lights and
some are small as pea land can be
held in the mouth to light it bril-
liantly while he drills or builds or
treats the tooth. Some of these tiny
lamps are search-lights, with strong
refectors on, and it enables the
operator to look into the gums and
| mir of inY1
When the search-light Is in the
mouth, 1t lights up and shows thru
the checks, fine pink light. One
can almost see thru the gums to
the roots of the teeth.
AS one looks over the cabinets Of
instruments and considers the COM
pleteness of every branch of the
work of treating, mending, extract
ing or making teeth, the dispatch
with which it is done, the absolute
sanitation, the provisions for the
comfort of the patient and the ways
to avoid pain in the process, it seems
Ia long step in progress from the
equipment carried into town by the
then modern dentist of thirty years
ago. At that time a few hundred
dollars equipped dentist and now
it takes many times as much.
When we announced this special
good roads edition, DR.. Bernhisel
said he wanted to buy the stamps
to send bale of them out to peo-
pie thru the county with the county
clerks explanation Of the bond is
sue If the clerk made an explanation
and he has. It is in this issue.
When a man helps US we like to
help him and that Is the reason we
are telling you about his fine office.
II you want to thank him for getting
copy of the paper to you fresh and
crisp, gosin and have him pull or
fill tooth for you next time. But,
say, you don't have to have them
ALL pulled or filed. Be reasonable.
HE will.

Referring to column seven, it Is
presumed that this money which is
accumulated in the sinking fund,
which will run over period of nine
years, can be loaned at per cent
per annum, computed annually,
which will bring in revenue CT
$11,151.04.
Referring to column eight, which
indicates the equalized valuation of
Bingham county for the year 1913,
and the equalized value for the next
nineteen years. This believe will
increase in keeping with the auto
mobile tax to a great extent, and |
figure, land belive my calculations
are conservative that our valua-
ton will increase at the rate of
100000 per annum up to the
tenth year. After that period OF
time, I hesitate to state what the
valuation will be, but see no reason
why the valuation of Bingham
county shall not have steady and
permanent growth.
Referring to column nine and ten,
which show the rate of taxes to be
applied upon each 500 valuation to
raise the balance necessary for in
terest and sinking, after the auto
license tax and the per cent in
terest and sinking fund have been
deducted; you will note that it will
not be necessary to divert any sum
from the read and bridge fund for
interest and sinking on bonds in the
first two years. On the third year,
we will be required to take ga
cents upon each 500 valuation of
the equalized value of Bingham
county, which is presumed will
amount to $16,000,000 in the year
1921; and the amount necessary
for road bonds will be $12, 045 IRE
ferring to column tenD The amount
necessary for the sinking fund, by
referring to the table, gradually de-
creases until the tenth year, there
upon the rate Immediately increases
to 27 cents on each 500 valuation,
and we are required to raise $54 900
for one tenth of the balance of our
bonds outstanding. This continues
and decreases in amount until the
twentieth year.
Referring to columns eleven and
twelve, which show the rating and
amount necessary to be raised on
each 500 valuation for state high
way purposes, which amounts to 20
cents on each 500, as provided by
the provisions of House Bill No

there is some opposition on the part
of tax payers, whereby they are OPP
posing the expenditure of any money
on the north and south state high
way. l make these statements here
in for the benefit of all concerned,
so that they may have true view
of the matter. For your convenience
| have compiled table based upon
$1,000 valuation for the year 1919.
This can be readily referred to by
any tax payer in the county, all dis
tricts being represented.
This statement is not absolutely
correct, but is sufficiently accurate
to be referred to for the present
time. Where levies were not avail
able, l have taken 1918 le"ies.
Your attention is directed TO the
expenditures for road and bridge
fund for the year 1918 which
amounted to the sum of $74,721,S2
and for which we received little in
return in the way OF road improve
ment. Are you Mr.. Taxpayer, going
to continue this policy of inefficient
road management? Are you gong
to throw away annually upon the
roads, this amount of money or
more, without benefit or results?
We have spent upon the roads Of
Bingham county in the past eight
years, approximately the sum Of
$450,000 and there is not mile of
good and permanent road in the
county.
Personally, believe that the time
is at hand when the taxpayers of
Bingham county should lay down
some fixed and permanent policy re-
garding their county roads. Jf you
will examine the data herein given
closely, you will note that it will
not make one cents difference i'll
your taxes whether you vote the
bonds down or you carry them, and
| am inclined to believe that if you
do vote the bonds in, it will in the
end materially reduce your taxes.
Respectfully submitted,
F. M. FISHER,
Auditor.

The tabulated data hereinafter
given relating to the proposed bond
issue, is compiled for the benefit of
the qualified electors and tax payers
of Bingham county. This data may
not be correct in every detail, but
in general way believe it will give
valuable information to the voter,
and will assist him in arriving at
a conclusion relative to the bond
issue. | believe the bonds to be of
most vital Importance to the tax
payers of Bingham county.
BY way of explanation, will re-
fer the reader to column two, where
are listed the various bonds. 1t is
contemplated by the board of county
commissioners to issue and sell
$20O,000.00 annually of the $780,
100000 voted; for the next three
years. l am presuming that these
bonds will be sold about June 1. |
have assumed that the rate of IN
terest will be 5 per cent, and the
provisions contemplated are that
they will be issued in denominations
of $1,000 each, one tenth Of which
is to be redeemed in ten years, and
the remainder to be redeemed be-
ginning the eleventh year, at the rate
CT o per cent per annum thereafter.
Referring to column three, you
will readily note the amounts to be
raised for interest at per cent.
Referring to column four, you will
readily see the amounts to be set
oc,1n Nv fn nrnuidn eli L O
fund.
Column five is the total of interest
and sinking to be raised annually.
Column six relates to the annual
auto tax, and it is presumed this
amount will be applied upon the ILL
| crest and sinking fund of the bond
account. | have computed this on
a basis of % per cent increase an
nually for the next ten years. This
calculation is based upon the in
crease in the past three years. In
the year 1917, the increase was 81
Der cent, in 1918, '35 per cent.
believe my calculations are reason
ably correct, for the reason that
should Bingham county construct a
good road system, it will have a
great tendency to stimulate the more
universal use of the automobile
thereby increasing the auto tax.
believe in my own mind, that the
auto tax when the ten-year period
has expired, will pay the interest
upon the bonds; but l do not care to
lead anyone to base calculation
upon this presumption.

by our senator and representatives
without result, by reason of the fact
that the whole western and north
ern Parts of the state were in favor
of this bill, and had the necessary
forces to put it over; however, in
the end d. not believe that it will
be to Bingham county's disadvant-
age, nevertheless, the tax in my opin-
ion is eXorbitant.
In passing l will here make COM
ment relating to the provisions of
this bill. Referring to column
twelve, you will note that in the year
1919 we will be expected to raise
the sum of $4,000, which will go
to the state We can reclaim $25,-
900 of this amount, provided we
spend $4,000 upon the state high
way running north and south thru
Bingham county. In addition
thereto, not exceeding the sum of
$4,000 as the commissioners of
public works may recommend, in
conjunction Herewith will be ap-
propriated by the federal govern
ment paid by the state as their agent,
making a possible total of $50, GOO
that would be available for the north
and south highway.
However, Mr. Tax Payer, I will
say this, that of this sum of money
$4,000 must come out of our road
and bridge levies.
Referring to column thirteen.
which is the rate for county roads
outside of county bonds on each
500 valuation. The maximum rate
is 3.5 mills or 50 cents on 500.
Of this if we divert to interest and
sinking, it reduces this amount dol
lars valuation You will note for
the coming two years, there is
nothing required for bond interest
and sinking from this fund, thereby
it leaves the rate intact We can
raise for the year 1919, as indicated
by column fourteen, the sum Of
$4,000 plus $16,2S6, of the balance
left from auto tax, making total of
$6S,7S6 available for county roads
outside of bonds.
Referring to my statement just
made relating to the state highway.
wherein it will be necessary for us
to raise $4,000 to be able to take
advantage of federal and state as
sistance, you will note that there is
not sufficient money in our road fund
to meet this amount, therefore If we
take advantage of this aid, it will
be necessary for it to come out of
the bonds sold.

Mems EARLY Struggles

The critical period of mans life
is the time when he is getting a
start and does not know it. The
time when failure is staring him in
the face and fortune is under his
feet unobserved and in danger of
being disregarded. 1t is then that
the small voice within is matching
it's influence against the big siren
reckoning him to greener fields, and
the die is being cast that fixes his
place in life.

A Critical Period Here

The period from the early eighties
to the close of 1894 was such an
epoch for some of the men of East
ern Idaho, who are large in their
sphere of influence today. John
Rogers was one of them, and as one
looks over the present field of activ-
ity and sees who is holding the
reins, he sees a circle of them that
make a good list Willie the aver
age man sees in them only their
eccentricities, he who really knows
them, loves them for their sterling
worth.
