tention of its readers to the iinan-
cial condition of Clearwater County,
the report of which as compiled by
Auditor Kaufman. dated March 10,
appears upon another page of this
publication. The report shows
Clearwater county as one of the
very few counties in the state that
can rightfully boast of operating
upon strictly cash basis. 1t shows
a total cash on hand in excess OF
indebtedness amounting to S19,06S.-

81 taxpayers within the district.

To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners. Orofino, Clearwater

to be raised in the United
States during this drive is $780,
10000, thepurpose of which is to
erect an appropriate monument on
the River Marine at the point of the
farthest adyace by the Germans on
Paris. Only $1,000 is to be raised
in this state and Clearwater
County's quota is $4,000
During the eighties, the people
of France subscribed a fund of
S25O,000 for the purpose of erect
ing a statue in New York Harbor
to be known as the statue of
Liberty. They not only contributed
the funds but caused the statue to
be cast in France and transported
to America and placed upon its
present pedestal. 1t has become a
land mark the world over and has
a particular significance for every
American Mr.. WalTath states that
he will receive at any time do
nations toward this fund. The
amount is very trivial and it is be
lieved there are patriotic people
here who will voluntarily contrf
butte to the quota without the
necessity of being solicited.

VICTORY AT SEATTLE

Major Hugh M. Caldwell was
elected mayor of Seattle, last Tues
day, a week ago, over James A.
Duncan, radical labor candidate, by
majority of 16,S01, the largest
majority ever given a candidate in
Seattle. With $4,000 votes cast
Duncan received only $4,000 while
Caldwell received almost $1,000, or
three votes to Duncan's two.
The victory is significant, for it
shows that radicalism cannot con
troll in the United States. Duncan
is q radical of the worst type. and
led the strike which attempted to
destroy all Sea attic business last
spring and was announced as the
beginning of an effort to overturn
this government. The strike was
suppressed by Mayor Ole Hanson
who made an International reputa-
ton by his stand in this strike.
Duncan was helped by the "Trip
lie Alliance composed of farmers
railroad brotherhood men and the
American Federation OF Labor, re
Gently organized in the state OF
Washington and had the solid back,
ing of those powerful organizations
merged under one leadership, ye
he failed utterly against the unor
ganized Americans of Seattle.
While there is no doubt man!
good men and women voted TO
Duncan, there can be no shadow o
a doubt that every Bolsheyist, /. w
W., anarchist and enemy of th
government who had a vote, CAV
it to Duncan. Probably not one
third of those voting for Duncan
were of that stripe, but he surel,
had the votes of all of them AM
they were organized and they voted
This shows that the radical ele
ment which would overthrow tn
government by force and contiscat
property and establish bolshevis
rule in Seattle is very small, indee
when compared to the America
citizens of that splendid city

pUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO
ADJUST PHONE DISPUTE-PE-
TITION FOR SIDEWALKS

The Fraser Telephone Company,
through its attorney, VIM. ]. Han
nah, presented request to the
village board of trustees at their
regular monthly session held Mon
day night, for franchise to oper-
ate toll lines within the city limits.
ii was learned at the meeting that
the state public Utility Commission
will sit in Orofino today to settle
the dispute between the Fraser
Telephone company and the Clear
water Telephone Lines. In view of
this fact the trustees deferred ac
ton upon the franchise pending the
outcome of the hearing today.
Some difficulty arose between the
two phone companies recently over
the compensation for the use of
their lines, the matter the express
purpose for which the utility COM
mission is coming here to adjust
1t is the belief of the trustees that
the city cannot support twOl tele-
phone lines within the limits and IL
is hoped that satisfactory agree
ment is reached today at the meet
inG of the commission.
In regard to the creating of side
walk improvement districts, mat
ter which has been before the vii
lage board for some time, the board
again deferred action. Petitions are
now being circulated among the
taxpayers concerned, asking that i'm
provement districts be created for
this purpose. A decision was reached
Monday night whereby three dis
tricts must be created for this pur-
pose. Owing to the law which re-
quires an improvement district to
be contiguous the original plan of
creating but one district was aban-
doned. 1t is now proposed to cre-
ate one on the South side of Oro-
fino Creek and two districts on
the North The paving of Johnson
avenue makes one contiguous dis
trict an impossibility. Just what
the final plan is that will be
adopted is not yet known. How
ever. as soon as the petitions are in
a definite policy will be established
The board adjourned subject tc
call of the chairman. All member:

SOME REAL LOGIC

Instead of farmers throwing away
sixteen dollars for membership in
the nonpartisan league, they. could
get value received for their money
by investing it in membership in
the county farm bureau. Last
month the state organization of
farm bureaus of Idaho joined the
American Federation of Farm Bu
reaus This gives national head
TO the organizations all over the
state. 1t will undoubtedly result
in a farmers organization that will
be a power for good and will be a
means of solving many of the prob
! lens that farmers have been unable
to handle without organization.
The farm bureaus all over the
United States are headed by educa-
ted men, not political reformers
like you will find in the ranks of
the nonpartisan league. They have
| the interests of the farmers at
heart and are making an uphill
fight but gradually gaining from
year to year. Membership in the
organization is increasing rapidly
If, at the end of year the mem
bers are dissatisfied with the re-
suits of the years work in theiI
county organization, they can nc
doubt place the blame with them
selves. The county agents have tC
fight for every inch of ground they
gain and this is particularly true
with the new county organizations
because there is lack of cooper
alton on the part of many of thu
farmers who have not yet realized
the immense power for good tina
lies with the county farm bureaus.
The. farmers have been demand
ing organization for a good man!
