ECONOMY BEGINS AT HOME

As the people complain about
growing tax burdens they are slowly
coming to a realization of the fact
that the load they are carrying is
largely result of their own acts.
That is they have been willing to
adopt without counting the cost in
advance, every new-fangled idea pro-
posed relative to city, county or
state government or our system of
public education
The public has right to demand
that candidates for public office be
qualified for the positions they are
to fill and they have a right to de
mand business administration of
public affairs.
1t is unfair, however, to elect a
man to office on an economy and
business platform and in the same
election vote for the passage of va
rious measures which add millions
to the tax burden of the state If
the people dc this they have but
themselves to blame when the tax
collector comes around.
As the family keeps within its in
come. prospers and produces good
citizens as a result of the example
set by the father and mother in the
daily life of the family, so will the
state grow and develop and keep it's
tax requirements reasonable in pro-
portion to the thought and intelli-
gence manifested by the members of
this great collective family. namely
its citizens.
Public officials are merely the
hired employees of the people. The
average employee will furnish good
or bad service according to the ex-
ample set him by his employers.
Go to the poles and vote as care
fully on public affairs as you would
on matters affecting your own fam
lily life. Do not vote to expend pub
lie funds and then kick at paying
the tax bill. Such a course is as
foolish as to contract family bills
and complain at the collector for in
sisting on payment.
Here is the first step the people
must take in any program of econo-
my and business management in
public experimentation Blade.

THE SUNDAY SLAUGHTER

To the chapter of industrial acct
dents that has long perplexed this
nation is now added chapter of
Pleasure casualties even more grislv
in the telling. If fatalities from this
cause continue TO increase at the
present rate they will far outdis-
lance all the hazards of machine
production in the workaday world.
Automobile accidents are increas-
ing out of all proportion to other
forms of serious mishaps and a
bright Sunday that lures many in
experienced drivers onto the boule-
wards and paved highways only in
creases the congestion and the IA
tally records.
When one seeks for remedy the
problem becomes more battling. For
law, as a means of restraint, soon
reaches its limits. 1t is difficult for
the state to be assured of the me-
ehanical competence of thousands of
drivers, although there is much to
be said for licensing the man at the
wheel as the car.
And then a too lenient punish
ment administered by the courts
only increases carelessness. A IS
or $40 fine in lieu of a more severe
punishment does little or nothing to
enforce the imperative demands OF
safety. 1t is certain that neither
the courts nor public opinion are
severe enough in their attitude to-
ward drivers with a light sense of
responsibility.
1t Is apparent also that automo-
bile fatalities must come down II
pleasure driving is not to become
more DANGEROUS than war. Better
traffic order, licensing of drivers
and heavier penalties for reckless
speed and disobedience of road rules
may help TO check the slaughter

JEWEL BOX BURGLAR PROOF
Valuables May Be Accounted Safe
When Placed Within This Up
to-Date Receptacle.

Among the newest things that in
ventors have given us in the last few
months is box that comes as near to
being burglar proof as it is possible
to imagine 1t looks like an ordinary
steel box with keyhole in its side.
But just lift il or move it and loud
alarm bell begins to ring inside it.
This bell keeps on ringing for FIVE
hours and 1t cannot be stopped with
out unlocking the box
A burglar might carry off the box,
but its alarm would keep on ringing
and would give him away before he
could get it to a place of safety. If
he touches it, even stumbles against
it, the alarm will arouse the house
hold, for the slightest movement suf-
fees to set it ringing. This is also
true of the dishonest servant
The owner can, however, open and
close the box at will, as he has the
key And the only way in which he
can be robbed is by some thief steal
ing the key before tampering with the
box
This safe is arranged inside with
trays for small articles, money and
jewelry and with space under them
for securities. such as bonds and
mortgages The whole is made of
seamless steel, nickel-plated, with
piano hinge and strong double lock
There are no duplicate keys, nor is
there a master key that will open It.

ELECT THE BEST MEN

Under existing conditions il is Of
the utmost Importance that Whit
man county be represented in the
next legislature by its best men. For
this reason it is to be hoped that
the strongest possible candidates
will be brought out by both parties,
so that the voters may have a choice
between competent men at the cleo
ton. Party lines should figure but
little in the selection OF state sena-
tors and representatives.
Acting on this theory a number
OF taxpayers in the eighth leg
islative district are urging Willis r.
Mahoney of Tekoa to become a can
didate for the democratic nomina-
ton for state representative from
that district. He is a young man.

Spring Beauties.

One of the commonest varieties of
flowers found after the snow has
melted away Is the Spring Beauty.
The little blossoms are very delicate
pink. Each petal is lined with hair
lines of deep pink. Some naturalists
claim that these hair lines of deep
pink are honey guides for insects,
lines that point the way to the tiny
sac of honey to be found in the center
of the flower.
Although the stalk of the Spring
Beauty is very slender. it is quite
sturdy enough to support the two
slim green leaves in the base of which
is held the flower and a cluster of
diminutive buds, each on a stem no
larger than a fine thread.

ONE YEAR OUT OF TWENTY

Now that the Palouse country has
failed 10 get rain which has been
desired and which threatened for
several days, we can point out to
the world that no other district
could produce the crop that the Pa
louise is producing this year with so
little rainfall. With a good crop
of hay, with the peas and beans and
the potatoes promising well, and
with something near a fair crop of
fall wheat we have the world beat
Furthermore, this is one year out of
perhaps 20 when there has been
real shortage of rainfall in the early

W. W. p. co. STARTS NEW LINZ

Thirty tons of copper wire and
three carloads of poles have been
received in Colfax this week for
the new Washington Water Power
company line. which is to connect
Lind, Colfax and Pullman. as an
auxiliary transmission line in case
OF trouble on the old Palouse coun-
try line through Garfield, Tekoa and
Rockford to Spokane.
The new line is to be built so il
can carry a voltage of 10000 and
will be equipped with the new style
suspension insulators and all the
modern fixtures. The exact loca-
ton for the line between Lind and
ColtaX has not been definitely de-
cided. A surveying crew has been
making headquarters in Colfax for
several weeks.
Several hundred thousand dollars
are to be expended by the company
in building the auxiliary line. which

COOPERATION OR PROFIT

Last year a grain concern in Ida
no fighting the Washington-I Idaho
Wheat Growers association, put out
an anonymous statement condemn
ing the farmers marketing society
for the fact that it's expense OF OPP
Grafton was about two cents a
bushel
Now comes the Federal Trade
commission to state after an investi-
cation covering months and involy-
ing the books of most of the large
exporters of the country, that the
grain trade took a profit OF almost
eight cents.
Wonder how this grain buying
firm now likes the comparison be
tween the wheat growers associa-
tions and the trade? 1t should be
borne in mind too, in considering
these figures, that profits found by
the federal trade commission We're
on top of the expenses of operation
which very likely were equal To or
greater than those of the marketing
bodies. In comparison with the re-
port of the Federal Trade commits
sion an expense of two, or three, or
five cents a bushel for farmers or
with the profit on the
work going back to the farmer,

IMPORTING HOUSES NEW FAD
English Residences Centuries Old Are
Actually Lived in by Wealthy
New York Residents.

Several houses complete in every
detail, dating from the Sixteenth CEN
fury, have recently been imported
from England. Lovers of the antique
may enjoy the unique experience of
living in the actual rooms which were
built and decorated three centuries or
more ago, and be within convenient
committing distance Of New York.
Such homes are naturally expensive,
for the original cost is not only con
siderable, but the cost of transporta-
ton, the tariff and the expense of re-
building are naturally great.
An English firm makes Il speciality
Of selling these houses and keeps a
number of them on hand in their
show place near London for inspec-
ton. When an old house is to be
torn down to make room for some i'm
prOvement, the building is bought in,
usually for a nominal sum. After be-
ing carefully taken apart it is rebuilt
in the show place near London, ready
for the inspection of purchasers II
it is bought by an American, for in
stance the house is once more taken
down and packed with care for ship
ment. This work is done by experts,
so that the parts, especially the wood
work, will not be injured The Eng
fish builders usually come to America
% set up the house exactly as it orig
nally stood in England. In some in
stances these old houses have been
surrounded with English gardens, re-
producing the original setting in Eng
land of centuries past.

WELL DONE, PULLMAN

auditors office, according to The
Statesman.
The chart, which is SO by 48
inches, was drawn and the data
compiled by Cyril c. Thompson.
deputy state auditor. It is a
special study to which Mr.
Thompson has been devoting his
evenings for more than three
months, and is expected to be
used for a book on public finance
in Idaho, which Mr.. Thompson is
preparing.
At the top of the chart are an
ranged the three branches of the
state government, the legisla-
tive (the house and senate), the
executive, with its administra-
tive departments under the cab
met system, and the judicial
branch, showing the supreme
court and the ii district courts
Next are shown the IA coun-
ties of the state, and under each
county, by the use of oblongs,

the drug business in southern
Idaho for a number of years
prior to moving to Baker City
where he held a position with the

possibilities of the surrounding
country.
Mr.. Brown who has been own
er of the store since purchasing
the same from T. +. Schaecher
