THE CITY ELECTION

The city election will take place OF
Tuesday, April %. A number Of re-
ports of probable candidates. are cur
rent, and contest over several city
offices is promised.
The incoming city administration will
have many difficult problems to handle.
1t must determine whether, within the
next two years, Grangeville is to forge
ahead and become an attractive residen-
ce city or whether it is to stay a coun-
try town with wooden sidewalks and
streets of mud and chuck holes. The
new administration must decide on a
city hall and other municipal improve
ments.
In considering the several candidates |
for the city council, it would be well
for the voters to determine who are
progressive.
A bright, cean, attractive city cannot
be brought about without the expendi-
ture of money. Now that the war is
ended, Grangeville can afford to improve
and with improvement will come growth
Of business and population Improve
ment costs money, and without expendi-
iure Of money, nothing will grow ex-
cept weeds on vacant lots.
The city election is important, and
upon the outcome of the forthcoming
election will depend whether Grange I
Vile is to progress or stagnate. ,

NoN-PARTISAN TROUBLES

Trouble has broken out in the ranks
of the bipartisan league. In Idaho
and in North Dakota differences have
arisen amoung the members of the
league, and among the leaders of the
party, which threaten the existence of
the socialistic organization, and probab-
ly will check the operation of many
of its pet schemes of socialistic domino
ton of Industries.
Trouble recently broke out in the Ida
no organization at Nampa, when an
effort was made by men prominent in
the league to GUST Scholtz from the job
of manager of the league publication.
Scholtz, who has been dictator of the
league in Idaho since its formation, has
incurred the displeesure of many in the
league, and they wanted to rid the or
ganization of him. However, their
strength was not sufficient to GUST him.
In North Dakota, a number of league
candidates who were elected to state
office last fall, have rebelled against the
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1919-04-03
CHICAGO s MISTAKE

Chicago made mistake. She re-elect
ed big Bill'' Thompson mayor
Thompson, Republican, on Tuesday de
feated Robert NJ. Sweitzer, Dmoerat
for the mayoralty, by plurality of II,
800, while Maelay Hoyne, running as al
Independent, was poor third.
The reelection of Mayor Thompson is
disgrace to Chicago. Thompson, -four
years ago, was elected mayor by plur-
lily of more than l47 900, and Tuesday
his plurality dropped to a mere handful,
compared with the big advantage given
Thompson in 1915.
William Hale Thompson has been
branded as pro-German. At any rate,
he is un-American, and he has not been
able to successf lily prove in TIE minds
of many persons that he was not Sc
tually sympa:hizer with Germany.
Two years ago, he proclaimed Chicago
50 the sixth German city," and refused,
as mayor, to officially extend an invita- |
lion to Marshal Joffre of France to Chi
ago, on the occasion of the French war
zero g visit to the United States
Bill has never been able to over
ONE the huge amount of adverse criti-
ism heaped upon him because of his
allure to invite Marshall .Joffre to Chi
ago. Whether his election Tuesday was
ne to his appeal for Republican votes
n party principles, or whether due to
he German vote of Chicago, meager re-
orts on the election returns so far re-
eived in the west do not disclose.

WIRES CROSSED

Announcement that necessity reqni
res an increase of approximately 20
percent in telephone and telegraph
rates in the United States, under gov
eminent control of wire conlmunica-
ton, will cause to arise anew in the
minds of the people the wisdom of gov
ernmental experimentation in the OPP
GRAFTON of various great public utili-
ties.
The increase is said by Postmaster
General BurlesOn to be due to increa-
sed salaries paid employees of the tele-
phone and telegraph. True it was, I'M
der private ownership of these utilities,
many employees received meager wages,
but nevertheless the wages paid these
selfsame employees usually were COM
mensurate with the ability displayed
by the workers. Telegraph operators.
in minor positions, received net more
than $40 month, in many instances,
but in larger cities, qualified opera
tors, working under the bonus system,
frequently were able to earn $3.50 to
5000 a month, depending entirely upon
ability to accurately and rapidly trans
nit a great number of messages.
If the public is to be continually con
fronted by increases in telephone and
