We DO Not Need Delayed Ballot
Count.

Mr., TALLEY, principal OF Mr.
SwANN's assistants In the District
Attorneys office, believes there is
much inaccuracy in the canvass OF the
vote and that:
The only way this situation can
be remedied for the future would be
by closing the polls at 8 or-S o'clock
in the evening, removing the ballot.
boxes under lock and seal to the
nearest police stations and keeping
them there over night. on the fol-
lowing day regularly appointed can
vassers Of responsibility and training
could then be put TO work on the
count.
Il realize that one objection to this
plan might be the anxiety of the peo-
pie to know the result in every Inn
portant election. but / insist that ac-
curacy is the important thing
Before we seal up the ballot boxes
let US find what the extent of the in
accuracy in the count is. For good
many years we have been holding
elections, and the canvassers have not
generally been assailed as inaccurate
or dishonest There have been errors,
but so far us any of those interested
IN the outcome of the elections have
been able TO find out they have not
been of great Importance.
The historic recount in New Yorl;
city was held after the Hearst-Mc
Clellan campaign of 1905. The cam
paign was exceptionally bitter. Mayor
McCLELLAN's plurality was exceed
ingly lean. Mr. HEAEsT demanded
and obtained a recount. The recount
was conducted before Mr. Justice
LAMBERT of the Supreme Court.
Not few trivial errors were dis
closed. Many ballots thrown out by
the election officers ON election nigh.
were admitted as valid by the Court.
Many ballots admitted by the election
officers were excluded by the Court.
And when the recount was over
Mayor McCLELiAN's plurality stood
lust about where 1t had on the origl
nal canvass, and Mr.. Justice LAMBERT
took occasion to declare that the al
tcrations in the count in no way re
Elected on the integrity or skill of the
election officers.
1t is not necessary to point out the
mntilatlon or destruction Of ballots
possible under the plan Of a delayed
count put forward by Mr. TALLEY. II
should not be necessary TO point out
the possibility of employing counters
to tackle the canvass Immediately on
the closing Of the polls IL modern
election officers were actually too tired
10 carry It on. But perhaps lt viii

Of all our foreign made and imported
munitions of war, shot, shell, cannon,
small arms and clothing ana supplies
for the Continental army, came to our
fathers by way of st. Eustatius, from
Holland and England Yes, even the
very paper on which THOMAS PAINE
wrote his immortal tracts in favor Of
independence came, as he tells US,
from st. Fustatius When RODNEY,
in 1880, crossed the Atlantic with the
largest fleet ever gathered under the
British flag he thought ii far more
important to clean OUT this source Of
American supplies than TO 20 TO the
aid Of CoRNwALLIs--for which naval
judgment our fathers heartily thanked
him, There he found twentyfour
American ships engaged in taking on
supplies.
Sir GEORGE TREvELYAN, the brilliant
English historian, tells us many in
teresting details as TO how and why
Sheffield and Birmingham supplied so
much of The hardware" and grain
which King GEORGES Hessians and
British regulars fired out Of their
guns ut the Continentals. For while
q German dynasty and corrupt
Parliament with Cabinet advisers
from the Land o Cakes tried to coerce
the American colonies, the heart Of
the British people was never in what
the critics in and out of Parliament
dubbed the Scotch war"--an ever
losing game
The event is worth recalling ST.
Eustatius has had Its day and may
yet be ours by purchase. Recent
American travellers in the Caribbean
Sea tell us that the same cannon of
Fort Orange--or rather where its
c: umbling and vine grown bastions
once rose in glory-still lie half bur-
led in the sand. Why should they not
be recovered? Or, when we buy the
little island, why not restore the old
metal to honor?
In any event, whatever the future
may have in store, two statements in
the recent news from Holland throw
fresh light upon the past. In the
periodical review of the Constitution

pire State follows-a probable re-
turn to the old form of government,

A Better Scheme Of Taxation or the
Government VIII Go Bankrupt.

DANIEL c. ROPER, Mr.. WILSON'S
FORMER Commissioner OF Internal Rev
enue, suggests that the Government
postpone collections Of taxes, due
December 10, from industries and
businesses that have suffered heavy
losses and find It hard TO raise money
10 meet tax payments, bank loans,
current bills, wages or anything else.
Congress may try TO do something 20
relieve such situation OF Congress
may not. But the fact remains that
such industries and businesses in
numbers are not making money now
On the contrary they have suffered
heavy losses which will eXpunge ac-
tual and paper profits that seemed
sure earlier in the year. This means
that new and effective taxation meth
DDS must be adopted, and adopted at
once, as much for the sake Of the
United States Treasury as for bust
ness interests and for the public.
Red ink balances in the books Of
the country are going to make gloomy
voids in the Treasury funds after the
last collection, one month from now,
on taxes covering incomes and profits
for 1919. The Government has been
counting on hundreds of millions of
revenue to come in next year as taxes
on excess profits for this year. But
the revenue viii not come in, be-
cause the excess profits have not been
made. The Government has been
counting on hundreds of millions of
revenue to come in next year as taxes
on ordinary net earnings Of industries
and businesses for this year. But
this revenue will not come in either,
because the expected net earnings will
be heavily reduced or blotted out.
Congress can Of course provide for
the Forthcoming year the revenues
without which the Government cannot
operate properly, cannot pay its bills.
Tor one thing Congress can put into
effect small taxes on current transac-
tions, and they can be made 10 flow
Into the Treasury Immediately. STAMP
taxes will do this--stamp taxes on
bank checks, on all public documents
and all private documents. Taxes on
sales will do il. Taxes on service
will do it. Taxes on privileges and
functions will do IT, Revised taxes
on imports will do f.
For another thing, Congress can
carve expenditures to the limit. Cut
ting in half the bills that must be paid
~ even more effective public financing
than multiplying the revenues by two.
1t is seldom possible TO legislate ade-
uuate and sure revenues to meet ex
travagance. waste and squander. II
IS always possible to squeeze the eX-
travagance, squander and waste ont
of expenditures by the executive and
out of appropriations by the legisla-
tive powers.
The time has come when the Gov
eminent has got to stop being spend
thrift for the good and sufficient rea-
son that there aren't going to be any
more public funds obtainable for
squander. The time has come when
Congress has got to adopt rational and
practicable taxes or the Government
will 20 broke. Henceforth there isn't
going to be any sure way but the
right way to raise the moneys which
the Treasury VIII require even for the
management OF the United states Gov
-prnment on a sound business basis.

Notice of Educational
Meeting

Your attention is called to the ed
ucational meeting to be held in the
Tabernacle, Monday evening, August
10
The purpose of this meeting is to
arouse both in the parents and in the
children a desire for better and lon
ger continued attendance at school.
Too many parents are in the habit of
thinking that grade schol education
is sufficient Others think that a
high school education is all that is
needed Unfortunately there are
others who consider education of SO
little value that were it not for the
compulsory school law their children
would never complete the grade
schools. 1t is these parents we are
( trying to reach by showing the need
! for a higher education as we'll as /,
more general education.
/ This meeting is only one of many
being held throughout the state o.
Idaho. The need of this educatiOna
drive is felt since so many boys ant
girls leave school after completing
the grades and never return. Educa
tors are trying to get students to q
fartherin the educational line.
DR., Bryan, commissioer Of educa
ton of the state of Idaho will be il
attendance and will be the principa
speaker. Other educators will ais
be here to take part. Music will b
furnished by the orchestra. and othe
numbers of an entertaining charao
ter will be rendered.
Cal this notice to the attention o
your friends throughout the valley
Spread it as far and wide as possible
Remember that every parent an
prospective student is desired at tn
meeting. Remember the date, Mon
day evening, August is, at 8 o'cloc
at the Tabernacle.
