SLOW TO REGISTER
Little Interest Shown In Pre-
posed Bond Issue. !.

Next Tuesday. June "a. the
question OF issuing SIS, 600 muni-
cipal coupon bonds for the
Improvement and extension Of the
water system, is TO be decided by
the taxpayers Of Rathdrum.
AS stated in the notice of
election, the polling place is the
council room Of the Village hall
and the polls open at 9 o'clock in
the morning and close at ? in the
evening. The trustees have
named the following on the
election board: Judges-W. II.
Edelblute, Mrs. H. r. Saunders,
and H. L. McDuffie; clerks-Mrs.
Paul Reiniger and Geo. v. Morris.
Members of the election board
must be registered voters.
Registration of voters for this
election closes at 9 Monday
evening. The village clerk serves
as registrar without pay, and for
this reason should not be expected
to make a house to house canvass.
Taxpayers and their wives residing
within the village, who have not
yet registered, must do SO before
Tuesday il they expect to vote at
this election.
AT this writing only 81 taxpayers
are entitled to vote, either. by
having voted in 1919 or by having
registered recently. This is con-
sidered remarkable in view of the
fact that there are over 900 yote,s
in the village. AS the question
submitted is so important, either
from the standpoint of supplying
more water or of increasing
taxation, it is pointed out that
resident taxpayers should take
more interest in next Tnesday's
election than has thus far been
manifested.
1t is the desire OF the board that
all who are entitled to do so should
register and vote at this election,
so that if the issue carries or is
defeated the result will be decisive,
and the expression that of all and
not merely part of the electorate.
The form of ballot is simple and
easily voted.

new PRIMARY LAW
Candidates and Delegates Have
Until July 3 to File.

Boise, ldaho.-Idaho's primar,
election will take place on August
a the first Tuesday in the month,
said Robert o. Jones, secretary oil
state, in reply to query from Leo
Mccarthy, prosecuting attorney oi
Nez Perce county, who had been
misled by fancied difference be-
tween the wording of statute in
the session laws of 1919 and the
complied statutes.
The primary election statute as
first passed at the 1919 session
named the second Tuesday in the
month. 1t was soon after amend
ed, however, and both the original
and amended laws are to be found

the following dates as authentic:
Primary election, August 8.
County central committee meet
ings, August IA.
County conventions, August II.
State central committee meet
ings, August "a.
State conventions, August "a.
Would-be delegates to county
conventions must file nomination
papers. Their names will be
printed on the primary ballots
along with other candidates. This
was the ruling of Roy l.. Black,
Idaho attorney general, rendered
Tuesday Of last week.
The attorney general quoted
sections 543,and 548 oflthe com
piled statutes to substantiate his
position. They refer to prepara
ton OF primary election ballots.
In another case Tuesday the
attorney general ruled that these
candidates for election as delegat-
es to the county convention need
pay no fee for filing the nomina-
ton papers, because such fees are
based upon the salary paid by the
ollce sought. Convention dele
gates receive no salaries.
Candidates for office must file
nomination papers 80 days before
the primary elections. The last
Gay tor filing is July 3.
county recorders were Tuesday
odclally notified by Robert o.
JONES' Idaho secretary of state,
mat the primary elections will
come on the first Tuesday in
August.

A WASTEFUL MOTOR RULE

ENROM the extreme of allowing motorists
l. to do pretty much as they pleased, the
police now seem in danger of going to the
opposite extreme of enforcing new rules and
regulations In such an obnoxious manner
that the use of motorcars in the city NAV
soon be intolerably discouraged.
The latest idea requiring that front and
rear lights be kept burning even when cars
are parked together in rows, end to end, or
side by side, along the streets, oftentimes
under the full glare Of street arc lights, ia
absurd and can be helpful only to the bat
terry charging stations, by increasing their
business,
Leaving cars standing along the streets
in dark places without lights certainly was
wrong But to overcome this abuse it surely
ought not to have been necessary to apply n
rule universally even where the streets were
plainly lighted.
Only blind man could fail to see n car
standing by the curb under a street lamp or
in front of stores where shop windows are
lighted, as in many of the outlying shapping
centers where cars are parked by shoppers
or patrons of the movies.
The rule should be modified because II
can only result In waste Of battery current
and useless expense to car owners.

THE OLYMPlANS KICK

IT is idle to deny that the showing made
L Sy Americans in the Olympic games was
in some ways disappointing The return
of the teams and the statement issued in
behalf of the athletes by Earl Eby, Penn

our men to live up fully to the hopes of the
country and the expectations of their friends.
I'VE were eighteen days in the hold of n

and in inadequate quarters white we were

wireless reports of a strike of the athletes

New York because Of poor food and poorer

what rule of reasoning can it be made to
appear that athletes trained to hair for

IF YOU drive motorcar with an open

nuted, you sound danger signal too in
sistently, you will be summoned by the po-
lice and fined. There is a way, however,
by which it is possible to do these things
and yet escape fines or punishment. Carry

This simple deduction is not inspired by
any lack of appreciation for the work done
by the traffic squad or the policemen on
other posts. They are capable men who
seem to do their best with poor facilities.
They work under haphazard rules that are
always changing. The city needs a stand
ardized system of traffic control, such as
might be formulated quickly by a commission
Of traffic engineers. 1t needs, too, some
fast motorcars and good drivers in the serv

There is simple cause for motorcar ban

PARKS THAT PLEASE

STNHE various city squares and open
- spaces under the control of the Fair
mount Park Commission have, in the main,
been taken care .of so admirably that the
Mayors program for curbing this jurisdic
tion is somSwhat surprising. Certainly the
major squares in the "old town" Ritten-
house, Franklin, Independence and Wash :
ington, have not in years been so admirably
Kept as at the present time. Paris and
Washington can boast of no prettier dimnu
tive parks.
If the Council, at the Mayors suggestion.
sees fit to rearrange certain details of police
authority in these recreation grounds, some
needless confusion may be eliminated. But
Il is to be hoped that such action will not
be a prelude to any sweeping change. Fair
mount Park and its satellites in the built up
portions of the city are physically trim and
successfully administered.
The operation of the park commission has
the respect of the community, and the
glades and greenswards of this otherwise
rather mopotonously constructed town are
among its chief causes for legitimate pride

A SHEEP IN VOLTS GUISE

WE NAY be said to be getting into the
w last lap of the national campaign. Mr..
Harding has been accused of going too eau
tiously amid the new and stupendous issues
created by the war and the wars after
math. There are times when caution pays,
and this is one of them
Mr.. Cox is not cautious. He speaks
bravely of international affairs because he
does not understand them. He is silent or
evasive in the presence of every question
related to issues that demand frank and
explicit utterance In wet" territory, for
example, Mr.. Cox is wet" In dry ter
ritory he is n "dry." The delusion that the
Democratic candidate will force a modif
cation of the Nolstead act has been care
fully built up by his campaign managers
In regions where they think it will do the
most good,
The fact of the matter is that Cox is not
"wet." He knows that ultimate decisions
relating to the prohibition act will be made
by Congress and the general public. He has
not said this in any speech. He will not
say it. He prefers to talk of things that,
being further away, may easily be discussed
in picturesque gcneralities.
