The Tax Forum
Everybody's Comments

A few persons are raising a per
fectly proper question about the con
duct Of the Idaho Republican in con
nection with the election of E. T
Malcolm, assessor, for the presen
term.
They are saying that the editor Of
The Republican is acting at the
wrong time in starting in to discredi,

inauguration. They say he should
have published these facts last sum.
mer and fall to prevent his election
They say that 1t was within his power
to defeat Mr.. Malcolm in the cam.
paign of 1920 and that it would have
been better for Mr.. Malcolm II he had
been defeated then than to be elected
and then have all this hula baloo
raised against his method of con-
Quoting his department. 1t is duly
said, and truthfully, that Editor
Trego did not want Mr.. Malcolm
elected in 1920, that he was hoping
one of the other men would be
elected. but that he did not use in
f1uence of his paper to defeat NAL
com nor to elect either Of the other
men and that he comes with rather
poor grace now demanding that NAL
com resigns. It is also being said
that Editor Trego had the informa-
ton last summer that he has been
publishing this winter, that he must
have known it and should have used
1t then.
The Editors Reply
1t is true that the editor of The
Republican did not wish to see Mr..
Malcolm reelected and said that he
did not believe that he was a very
good assessor. He stated a number
of times, in conversation with men
who consulted him about it, that he
had no particular reason for his
statement that he did not think NAL
com was very good assessor. He
said he had nothing in particular he
could point to regarding his work
that would prove his incompetence
and that he had not Investigated the
affairs of his office. He said further
that he was not competent to audit
the assessors books or the treasur-

monies were being handled right or
not and always hesitated about MAX
ing any examination of the asses
sor's department because he knew so
little about it. He stated in these
consultations that the most of his
objection to Mr.. Malcolm was on per-
sonality; that he did not get along
very well with Mr.. Malcolm; that Mr..
Malcolm had not in all of the five and |
q half years of his administration |
ever given him any printing or ad-
yertising to speak of and had sent a
great deal of his printing away, out
Of the county or out of the state or
had given it to anybody but The Re-
publican office and that that was the
assessors privilege If he did not want
70 give the business to The Republi-
can newspaper, he did not have to.
That was a personal matter between
he assessor and the editor and he
lid not consider it was fair for the
editor to oppose the assessors re-
election on such personal matters. He
