years they had been doing the same
things and always had more officers
than he believed there was need for
In that time they had erected a
capitol building and it was never
large enough; they were always rent
ing something besides that. They
had torn down the old capitol build
ing and the same thing had been 60
ing on; they were renting lot of
extra office. They had enlarged
the capitol building to it's present
size and are yet occupying one whole
floor in large building down town.
He says they had too many boards
and too many departments and that
lot of them ought to be cut off. The
activities of the farm bureau in this
county, costing $4,000 for the year
1920 or little more than $1,000 a
month, he considered very doubtful
investment. He was a farmer him
self and did not see where the farm
ers were getting benefits from it to
justify such expense. Farm bureaus
maintained in most of the counties
with corresponding headquarters and
offices in Boise to superintend the
county farm bureaus had rolled up
an additional expense on the state
taxes and the maintenance of officers
for all these activities in Boise was
part of the useless or unjustified
office expense he complained Of.
These departments of government
engaged in compiling information
and printing 1t and mailing it out to
people who never read, to people
who find it a burden in. their mails,
keeps up tremendous expense that
there is not good reason for. He
says he can see why the business
men even tho they do not believe
that the county farm bureau is worth
the money, should remain silent. For
instance, If merchant should raise
his voice in objections against the
expense of the farm bureau, the
farmers would Immediately cry him
down saying he was against the
farmer and it was better for the
merchant to remain silent and 60
along and boost the farm bureau or
at least keep still about it If he did
not approve Of 1t. But for a farmer

Ike himself who was in a position
to receive the benefits of the farm
bureau, if there were benefits and
free to raise his voice against it if
he did not approve of it, he con-
cluded it was their duty and their
privilege to speak on the subject.
The livestock sanitary board is one
Of the activities of the state that
costs a tremendous amount of
money. In the old days the scab
used to kill off the sheep and the
herder's dogs and that was loss,
but in these days the inspector comes
around and inspects everything and
spends the state money dipping and
vaccinating. For instance, an in
spector came to his place and ex-
amined his calves and told him they
might as well be vaccinated and
make sure. When asked what was
the expense of the vaccination, the
officer replied that it did not cost
the farmer anything, the state paid
for 1t. Mr.. Just has some sheep and
he said they were vaccinated three
times last year, the officer always
remarking that it didn't cost him
anything that the state paid for it.
These men have to be doing some
thing and they vaccinate stock
whether they need it or not or at
least there is some reason to believe
that they engage in unnecessary
activities and make unnecessary ex-
pense. Somebody has to pay for it
and when people say the state pays
for anything, they mean that that is
levy against all the people of the
state, rich and poor and money
should not be wasted just because
there is means of taking it out of
the pockets Of the people. He says
the livestock sanitary board had
probably done a great deal of good
but that they had expended tremend-
Gus amounts Of money all the while
and it was serious matter. He
asked Mike Barclay, who was in the
audience and representative stock
man, to speak on that subject but
Mr. Barclay said it might not be we'll
for him to say what he thought of
the state sanitary board. Mr.. just
retorted that he did not think it
would be best for him to express
himself fully as to what he thought
of this board.

dule was listed and he found by con-

Criticizes Probation Officer

Mr.. Just said he thought the peo-
pie owed the Idaho Republican vote
of thanks for hunting up and pub
fishing the information about the
way the probation officers work is
conducted He said he was not at
lacking the probation officer, but the
system supplying the officer; he was
not attacking the individual, but the
whole system. He had carefully
| looked over the accounts of the
activities of the probation officers of
the last year as published in The Re-
publican and it revealed a state of
affairs that was decided surprise to
him. He knew that we had proba-
ton officer, but he did not know
what was being done and what it was
costing. He did not know the plan
of work until it was explained in the
newspaper. In that report there
were expense items for the proba-
ton officer driving out to see two
of his relatives and he was glad to
have the information brought to the
attention. of the Jones and BENEFITS.
He referred to the probation officer
uIlNlA6 OuC " Scc MyTtlc jules anu
Jack Bennett about their not being
in school. They are both relatives Of
his and he had investigated the mat
ter with their people and said that
if the probation officeA had had oc-
casion to come out to s6e about the
children being absent from school,
their people did not know it. If COM
plant had been made as indicated in

probation officer had driven out to

was all news to them when it was
published in the paper and he won

the county named in that list were
at this time ignorant of the situation

against stealing his neighbor' s
wheat? Why should there be pro-
baton officer to go out and labor
with the children and their parents
to persuade them or induce them not
to violate the laws requiring their
children to be in school and making
them the custodians and responsible
parties under such law? If one man
observes the law and keeps his child
rem in school availing themselves of
the privilege of the opportunity of a
comparatively free education under
our free school system, why should
other families have to have an Of
ficer 60 out riding around the
country to persuade other families
not to violate the law. He was
against the whole system whether
it is administered honestly or dis
honestly, he believed it was the
wrong thing to have and the wrong
thing to do. If he violated the law
in keeping his children out of school
the sheriff should come out with q
warrant for him and bring him into
town to answer for it. If the parents
and guardians of Myrtle Jones and
Jack Bennett were remiss in their
duties warrant Of arrest should be
issued for the responsible parents or
guardians rather than have an officer
60 out riding around the country
trying to persuade them to obey the
law. In this case, the parties alleged
to have been visited deny any knowl-
edge of the transactions. .....
In speaking of the subject of
wages for county employees, Mr.. Just
said he had made some investiga-
tions trying to find out whether the
county paid more money for their
work than others did. He had gone
to some business houses making in
quiries and he found that girls work.

for it's help and perhaps the subject
would bear further investigation and
further consideration on the part Of
the persons fixing the prices He was
not quarreling with good wages, but
he believed the matter was subject

serving the refreshments that had
been provided.
