FOUR MONTHS new LAW
MEASURED BY ITS RESULTS
First InStallment of Record on the New Form of
State Government--Red Tape and Costly
Duplications Done Away With.

Boise. Aug. 1S.-"Let me have re-
and command formed the keynote of
an address made by Governor d. W.
Davis at the first meeting of his
state cabinet By way of reply the
commissioners of the states nine
thoroughly centralized and co-ordin-
ated departments have begun to ac-
complish big things for Idaho.
For several years political scien-
lists have been agreed upon the theo-
ry upon which the Davis law is based
is indubitably sound. In Idaho as
well as in other states, the measure
was opposed, censcientfously in many
instances, by individuals who raised
the hue and cry of impracticability.
Four months of the operation of
the new scheme in Idaho seems to
have proven conclusively that the
skeptic must cast aside his skepticism
that the doubter may cling no long
er to his doubt. That thorough
going efficiency which proponents of
the Davis law had anticipated is dem
dnstrating itself in results.
Red tape and costly duplication
have been supplanted by direct ae-
tton and Capitalization. Idaho Is
experiencing the dawn of a new era
in civil administration.
Splendid nonpartisanship has char
acterized the attitude of many per-
sonS OF opposing political faiths who
have placed the stamp of unqualified
approval on the new law. Perhaps
the most striking of these express
sions came recently from a promin-
ent democrat who served the state
as chief executive and who knows the
responsibilities attendant upon that
office.
THE Davis law providing for the
consolidation s0f state government
functions" declared former Governor
James H. Hawley, lis the best piece
of legislation placed in the laws OF
Idaho since the adoption of the con-
stitution."
Capitalization of authority and re-
sponsibility is having two marked
effects. 1t is bringing better men in
to public life and it is arousing the
people to higher regard for their
duty in the matter of selecting ex-
eeuttves capable of managing their
great governmental business.
In past years many business and
professional men have hesitated tC
take a state office because of what
they though might be concomitant
loss of caste. Under the new system
however, able business men can bt
drafted because they are called to de
partmental headships which enable
them to use and display to the best
advantage the intellect and energy
they possess.
Definite fixing of responsibility IL
salient feature of the Davis law

SHORTAGE OF TAECHERS
IN BEAR LAKE COUNTY

Superintendent j. M. Cummings
tof the Montpelier schools returned
last Saturday from Salt Lake, where
he had been attending the Utah state
university summer school for two
months. Notice from the school
board that there were eight vacan-
cies In the corps of teachers for the
coming year, caused Mr.. Cummings
to return home ten days sooner than
he had intended doing. Six of the
vacancies are IN the grades and two
IN the high school. The vacancies are
practically all due to the fact that
the teachers who were elected here
have secured positions elsewhere at
Fhigher salaries.~---
| The greatest trouble in filling
these vanancies, Mr.. Cummings said,
! would be the question of salaries
There is a shortage OF teachers thru
out the land and very naturally
teachers are going where they can
get the highest salaries. In order
to secure competent instructors II is
probable that the Montpelier school
board will have to raise salaries "A
little. especially for high school in
structors.
County superintendent Spencer
informs US tht he is also short quite
number of teachers for the country
schools and he is doubtful whether
or not he will have a full quota OF
teachers by the time school opens
next month.

VALUES ARE INCREASED
ON BETTER FARM LANDS

Valuations on irrigated lands and
lands In the wheat belt OF north Ida
no were materially advanced by the
State board OF equalization at It's sea-
8 lon last Tuesday. The determine tion
to advance valuations followed n con-
ference which lasted two hours says
the Statesman.
II is estimated that the increased
Valuations will add $4,000, 900
Forth OF taxable property to the as
tessment rolls. 't
II Valuations on city property, dry
YARN lands, grazing lands. cut-over
timber lands and waste lands were
not molested, except in Fremont
county where valuations on dry farm
lands were reduced from $24.96 an
an acre to $50.
Fremont county Is credited on the
assessment rolls with 82,3S6 acres of
dry farm lands. FaTmers In that
county raise much wheat but this
year the crop was almost a total fail
ure due to the drouth.
In equalizing valuations Tuesday
the equalization board divided the
farm lands In the several counties
into nine classes. Ada. Canyon. Gem
Payette, Washington and Twin Falls
were placed in class one. Practic-
ally all OF the cultivated lands In
these counties are under irrigation
and since they contain the richest
soils and are In the highest state OF
cultivation they are assessed higher
than lands in other counties.
Caribou, Clark, Bear Lake, Butte
and Teton counties were placed in
lclass six. The state board raised the
value on lands in this county from
f16.48. as returned by the assessor
70 $685. per acre. a total increase
pr $217.27s.
In Caribou county the valuation on
hands was raised from $16.4S TO
lR27.49 per acre.
II Valuations IN Ada sounty on Ir-
riRated lands were advanced from
sS0.46 TO 500 53: in Canyon from
If56.70 to $500: IN Gem from S43 :
T9 TO $56.S3: in Payette from s62 .03
p $7132: in Washinaton from $67.-
q to $40 SIS. and in Twin Falls from
J$55 to s68.75.
Members Of the equalization board
/ m discussing the advance said farm
'"nd valuations he'd baen too low and
not IN keeD'ng with assessments re-
'urned against public utilities.

ported value per acre on agricultur-

WILL QUIT SUPPLYING
ELECTRIC POWER FOR HEAT

Boise, Aug. 18.-The government
of the United States is going out of
the business of supplying power for
heating proposes in Idaho, and signs
are not wanting that it may grad
ually retire from the lighting busi-
ness. ALI this Is indicated by the re-
cent Developments on the Minidoka
tract, the only section in Idaho where
the government supplies electricity.
The only reason the federal gov
ernment ever undertook to supply
power to the individual other than
for irrigation pumping was because
it could do SO at practically no cost,
especially for heating as it was thot
the heating load could be carried at
a time when the power was not need
ed for pumping and it was regarded
as being cheaper to supply the SER
operations at the plant during the
winter months.
Recently a meeting was held at
Burley, which, with Rupert and Hey
burn, has been supplied with power
from the government reclamation
plant. Representatives OF the gov
ernment were present and went over
with the Burley council in the sub
ject of power.
The reclamation OFFICIALS stated
that It would be necessary to increase
the rate almost 100 per cent il there
was any way the government might
continue the service.
They also stated that il would be
necessary for Burley to build sep
arate station for distribution OF the
heating current. The Burley Her
aid In discussing the matter says
This would cost the city $4,000
which the council says is out OF the
question"
The Burley Bulletin in comment
ing on the matter states that undeI
the circumstances the towns on tins
Minidoka project must look to some
source other than the government
plant at the Mfnidoka dam"
The Jerome Bulletin in handling
, the subject says: The government
Anow seems to be taking the position
that IL has been furnishing powel
al less than cost II this be so, the1
perhaps the private corporations haV'
not been the constituencies holdup
they have been accused Of being.

I6S5 automobiles in Bear Lake couny
p. amounting TO 11.11425. TTnfs

collected for the entire year OF 1918.
Mr. Dunn estimated that 5000 more
will be collected this year. The
amount of course depends upon the
number of cars sold during the bal
ance of the year. Those purchasing
cars from now up to the first Of next

Some three months ago we deci-
|ded to exchange our present type set
ting machine for a larger one, and
placed an order for one OF the latest
model machines made by the Mergen-
thater company. However, after
giving the matter more careful con-
sideration, we decided that a new
press on which to print the Examiner
was more essential than a larger
type setting machine. After con-
siderable correspondence with the
Mergenthaler company, we succeeded
In getting the order for the machine
cancelled. and last Monday we placed
an order with the Western Newspap-
er Union for a New Lee press on
which to print the Examiner---------I
Fhfs press IS especially designed
to meet the demand for country
newspapers. With 1t we will be
able to do as high class work as Ia
presses. On 1t we will be able to
print anything from a 6 K 8 inch dod-
ger, to poster larger than two pages
of the Examiner.
With the press will be installed a
variable speed motor, which will en-
able US to run the press at any speed
from 400 to 1000 impressions an
hour. In printing the Examiner the
press will run at a speed OF about
1900 papers an hour. which is double
the speed OF the press we are now
using.
When the press is installed, we in
tend making some other improve
ments in the Examiner. q detailed
statement of which Will be published
later.
The ordering of the new press
means that we will have to dig up
several hundred dollars when II ar
rfves, and as dollars do not grow on
trees, we will have to depend upon
those who owe US on subscription or
other accounts to come across
with the coin. The best and easiest
way that our readers can help us
make the Examiner a better paper
ID for them to pay what they owe us.
Give as the money that is due us and
we will do our part towards giving
you a better paper.
