manager and president of the Bethle-
hem Gold Mining Co., with properties
in this county. was sentenced Monday
at Ritzville to from one to five years

there is also charge pending against
him in Lincoln county, Wash.

of his activities in selling the stock
of the Bethlehem Gold Mines. He ap-
pealed to the supreme court but the
decision of the lower court was up
held Later a petition for a re-hear-
ing was filed and denied Since the
trial Dudman has been located at Los

ical development

ss2 900 for Connir Rnads

The democratic candidate for gov
ernor has made statements in num-
Der OF counties to the effect that none
OF the tax money sent from the coun-
ties to the state leaves Boise
or course. this is absurd and IL is
found in checking up the two-mill
road levy passed in 1919. that a con-
siderable amount of this was allotted
to Boundary county.
For use in this county the following
amount was allotted Panhandle
highway, $4,000.
The total of this amount makes 4
very nice offset against the amount
paid by the county to the state in
taxes. which was for that year,

Great Northern Railway Co. here. re-
turned yesterday after having spent
several months on a trip to England
and France and to various important
cities of the United States and Canada.
He spent six weeks in England
spending most of this time with rela-

one of the proprietors of the City Meat
Market, who was also visiting rela-

week in Paris, France, seeing h e
sights.
Mr.. Ashby states that living condi-
tions in England and France are high
err if anything, than in the United
States and that he can live as cheaply
at the hotels in this country as in
England. The taxes in England and
France, he states, are most burden
some and average better than 80 per
cent on ali incomes.

Difference to be charged to
Alexander administration 461, ,057. 90
You will see from this comparative
statement that Governor Alexander
during his four years in office reduced
the balance in the general fund from
$673,480.21 to $212,422.31. and in addi-
tion TO this he spent $4,000 of in
surance money from the burning OF
the soldiers home and Lewiston nor
NAL buildings.
If Governor Alexander had not re-
ceived this amount of cash from the
fire insurance companies, he would
have left a balance in the general
fund. available for 1919 expenses of
only $99. .422.31. as against the balance
of 1878, ,4S0.21 left him by the Haines
administration.

BOISE-The democratic candidate
for governor and other democratic
speakers have been making use Of
figures furnished to the democratic
candidate by State Auditor Gallet as
a basis for garbled and dishonest
statements as to the balance left in
the general fund of the treasury by
the former Alexander administration,
and in order to correct their mistate-
ments and unfair use OF these figures
State Auditor Gallet has addressed a
letter TO the chairman of the republi-
can state central committee setting
forth the exact figures showing in
comparative way the balance left by
the Haines administration and the
balance left by the Alexander admin
istration
The figures presented by State Au-
ditOr Gallet and which are verified by
the director of the bureau of public
accounts and the chief of the budget
bureau, show very conclusively and
clearly that the claims made by the
democratic speakers are absolutely
false and are Intentionally mislead-
ing.
Alexander says he left a million hut
he omits to say that he also left near
ly $S00,00 of debts for his successor
to pay, which included an overdraft of
over $450,000 in the form of outstand-
ing warrants.
The letter from State Auditor Ca
let is as follows: Mr.. |. H. Nash.
chairman, republican state central
committee, Boise, Idaho. Dear Sir
Referring to the request made last
summer by former Governor Alexan-
der tor statement from this office
showing the status of the general
fund in the state treasury at the close
of his term of office, January 5, 1919.
l wish to say that Mr. Alexander
asked me to give him a detailed state
ment of the taxes receivable during
the year 1919 which were derived
from the general ad valorem tax levy
made by the former administration in
1913
am enclosing copy of my letter to
Mr.. Alexander giving him the state
ment he requested. He was very
careful not to ask for any information
as TO the status of the general fund
at the time he assumed office OF
January /, 1915, and this statement
was therefore not given him. There
can be no fair comparison without il.
however, and | am therefore giving
you the statement herewith
You will see from the statement in
my letter to him that the unincuni-
bered or net balance of the 1915 al
valorem levy which was turned over
by Alexander to the Davis admins
tration amounted to $212,422.31. after
deducting the outstanding obligations
ne left, which obligations were item
ized IN my letter to him In compari-
son with this, the status of the gen
