Let 'en Rave

1t is interesting to note the con-
tempt which silence spells with which
Republicans are treating the Demo-
cratic and Independent campaign cry
that the state of Idaho is bankrupt
because an appeal has been made to
certain Idaho banks to carry state
deficiency warrants. The charge is
campaign thunder. no more and no
less. And it is rather weak thunder
This years state government is
conducted with last years tax re-
eeipts. Every Idaho politician knows
that Every Idaho citizen should
know it. The money that will be used
next year is that which was provided
in the 1920 tax roll Thus the state
u always just one year behind.
But this has always prevailed. So,
must it be said. have state deficiencies
toward the end of practically every
fiscal year. This year the situation
may be somewhat more marked than
is usual
Idaho appropriated 100000 for
roads and highways at the last legis-
lative session. This sum was to be
augmented by 100000 from the
respective counties where construc-
ton was undertaken and was to be
swel!ed by $4,000000 from the federal
government as the work progressed
Everyone knows what the state has
been doing in road construction work.
And everyone knows that road build
ing costs money, bills that the state
must meet whether or not the coun-
ties and federal government kick
through with their share of the sums
spent as the work progresses. Any
one knows how slow Uncle Sam is to |
pay his bills. Usually he pays but
he takes his time. And county COM
missioners meet every three months. |
Between times the state carries both
counties and Uncle Sam.
1t is here that state funds have
gone Legitimate highway contrac-
tors bills must be met. Idaho meets
them and then waits to have the
money, that is, the county and federal
share, returned.
1t there anything in this which
would indicate that Idaho is bank
rupt because she must ask Idaho banks
to carry the obligations which Uncle
Sam and Idaho counties owe the state
treasury? Is it any wonder under
these conditions that Idaho Republi-
cans look with scorn upon this
groundless attempt to discredit the
present administration
Oh. we'll, let 'em rave. They prob
abiy enjoy it.
