STATE TREASURER EACLESON
WOULD BE- GOVERNOR OF IDAHO

State Treasurer John Eagleson was
in the city Friday between trains to
visit with old friends and to look af
ter his interests in the fall election.
He is serving his third term as state
treasurer and has announced his cam
didacy for nomination for governor
on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Eagleson hopes to obtain the
support of the voters upon his antag-
onism to the cabinet form of govern
ment now being tried out in this state
by the Governor Davis administration.
He says that the cabinet form of gov
ernment permits the governor to build
up a political machine and that it is
more expensive than the old form Of
government.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Eagleson
will find much following in his at
tempt to induce the voters to return
to the old form of state government.
1t is certain in the minds of most
folks who have looked into the matter
that the cabinet form of government
does not allow the building up of a
machine" as much as did the old
system and the first few months of the
trial of the cabinet form of govern
ment seem to prove that it is not go
ing to cost any more and is far more
efficient.
A standard of efficiency has been
set and is being lived up to in every
department. Some of the most bene-
fetal and noticeable results may be
noted in the department of public in
vestments. This department has the
state loans and land leases in better
shape than they have ever been in the
history of Idaho. Loans have been
settled which were past due for many
years and on which other administra-
tions, both republican and democrat
had not collected even interest pay
ments. And these loans have been
collected without loss to the state
The fellows who have been forced to
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1920-05-04

pay up and make a just settlement,
are not favorable to the present adj
ministration but the voters who want
the state money handled in a business
like manner, are well satisfied.
In previous years, under both the
democratic and republican adminis-
trations it was not hard to get state
money upon almost any kind of Sc
curlty. Now the department of pub
lie investments insists upon the best
of security, no loans over $4,000 will
be made upon single tract Of ground,
interest payments must be met very
promptly and payments or renewals
taken care of at the proper time. The
state has already started great many
suits to foreclose on lands on which
loans have been made and interest and
payments have not been made.
Under the new administration no
accounts are paid against the state
unless a receipt for expenditures made
or an order from the purchasing agent
accompanies the bill. The editor of
the Herald happens to be one of the
state land appraisers for Boundary
county. On an appraisal trip made
few months ago his expenses for
railway fare and a meal amounted to
$3.50. The bill was rendered without
receipts attached and was sent back.
AS it would have been lot of troub-
le to obtain receipts the editor wrote
to this effect and said that if the de-
partment couldn't take his word for
the correctness of the claim they could
keep the money. The claim was not
allowed.
This instance only goes to show that
the state departments are being run
on a business basis not common in
many states and new to Idaho. It
is certain that the cabinet form of gov
ernment is not perfect. But it is an
improvement over the old system and
is proving its worth in efficiency and
economy. 1t is entitled to more of a
trial than can be given it in two years.

BUY GRAVEL AND DIRT LOADER
commissioners Preparing for Road
improvement Work

A new eight ton gravel and dirt
loader, National Reversible. was de-
hvered yesterday to Boundary comfy
ana demonstration will be made This
afternoon on the Shavelear hin road
Oh the machines labor saving ouali-
ties. H1"ii
rms loading machine is similar 10
machines owned in nearly all conn
ties where any amount of gravel or
dirt hauling is required. 1t will hand
le from one to one and a half cubic
yards OF gravel minute at cost, in
ciuulhg Iuel, upkeep, etc, of not over
elght cents for each cubic yard.
The loader is operated with a ten
horse power Novo gasoline engine
BY using the new loader in connec-
ton with the trucks recently secured
from the government, the county COM
missioners figure that they can do q
great deal of permanent road work
this summer and do it on less money
than has heretofore been required for
doing temporary patchwork. The Sc
curing of the loader was advised by
state highway officials and the euuip-
ment may be used this season on part
of the state highway construction.
People most interested in road work
are complimenting the commissioners
upon securing the new loader and say
that if the county had bought such a
machine years ago there would be bet
ter roads to show for the money that
has been spent. Anyway, this season,
it is certain that a great deal of per-
manent roadwork will be done
The county commissioners are also
being congratulated now on the pur-
chase last year of carload of culvert
pipe. This pipe was bought at a low
price and is worth now over $4,000
what the county paid for it. At the
time the commissioners bought they
were criticised in some quarters but
now their wisdom in the matter is
proved.

The drive in this district was super
visod by Mr.. Carpenter, of Spokane,
who came here Saturday and met with
heal people at a supper held at the
International hotel Saturday evening.
Mr. Carpenter told of the objects of
tbe Inter Church World Movement and
stated that it is planned to raise the
snm Of S396,000,000 to be expended in
church work covering a period of five
Years. The Inter Church Movement
d intended to bring about more effec-
five church work among 80 denomina-
tons. The money being raised in the
drive is to be apportioned to the var
Ous denominations, according to bud
Gets already agreed upon.
Al the meeting Saturday night a
considerable portion of the county
quota was raised and on Sunday at
The Union church another large por-
tOn was subscribed. The Methodist
church members had already sub
sCribed to the Centenary drive fund
and so but little effort was made to
secure subscriptions for the present
drive as the money all goes toward
similar work The drive committee
made canvass of the business men
and citizens yesterday and were sue
cessful in raising a considerable sum
in cash and subscriptions.
The national Inter-Church World
Movement drive was scheduled to be
held the week ending May 2 but was
continued in this county two days on
account of bad weather the forepart of
the week. The original quota was
$4,000 but this was reduced when the
district committee was advised of the
conditions here by Rev. Wilbur.

JUDGE FLYNN
A CANDIDATE

That District Judge John M. Flynn
may be a candidate for the state SUI
preme bench is the information car
ried in a recent issue of the Coeur
d'Alene Evening Press. When ap-
preached on the subject a few days
ago Judge Flynn stated that he was
not actively advancing his candidacy
but that he was willing to accept the
nomination.
As Supreme Judge Morgan has an
nounced his intention of retiring from
the bench and as the remaining two
justices are south Idaho men the
third place is conceded to the north.
District Judge R. N. Dunn has al
ready announced his candidacy for
this place with the probability that
he will be duly elected.
The circumstance that opens the
list to Judge Flynn is found in the
constitutional amendment providing
for five justices on the state supreme
bench which will come before the
voters this fall. What the Evening
fress says of Judge Flynn's candl-
dacy is this:
an selecting two judges to fill the
offices which may be created by the
adoption of the constitutional amend
ment, there is an apparent under
standing that the two political parties
republicans and democrats, will cen
ter on a republican from the south
and a democrat from the north, in
order to remove the office from the
taint of politics. The only man talked
of in the north for the office is Judge
John M. Flynn of Standpoint, also of
the eighth judicial district, who, while
not announcing himself as a candi-
date, is receptive to the nomination.
"This is not the first time Judge
Flynn has been talked of for the su-
preme bench, as in 1908 be was a
strong contender for the nomination
Judge Flynn has resided in North
Idaho for the past IA years, being
appointed to his present office in
March, 1911, and elected in 1914 and
1918.
"Should Judge Dunn and Judge
Flynn be elected to the supreme
court, the eighth judicial district
would have two vacancies, and the
practitioners in the district are scan
ming their profession over for quail
fled material"

None of the other states have such drastic anti
japanese laws those now existing in California.
Most of them have TO such laws at ALL and hardly
any appreciable sentiment against the Jaranese.
Some OF the Japs in California observing this have
talked of going Texas and other states. That is
the very thing for them do 1t would make their
