Up at Occur d'Alene they are HAVING
quite a time over the question "a
whether dances shall be allowed Oh
Sunday or not. A mass meetins mas
been held, at which people expresseu
their sentiments, and some sort Oh
referendum was held, at winch the
majority voting voted in favor Oh INC
dance. Some feeling, of COURSE mas
been engendered. There are COLI
paratively few communities these
days where a majority of the people
would be in favor of public dances OH
Sunday and it is very doubtful IL
Occur d'Alene, or any other com
munity, would benefit by throwing
down the bars. Many people WHO
never see the inside of church pulio-
ing would hang back when IL comes
to taking part in Sunday dance anu
a majority who would attend week
day dance would fail to get much
satisfaction out of the Sunday dance.
People have various ideas as 10
spending their Sundays, but majority
do not desire to spend them on the
dance floor.

TOO MUCH WASTE BY STATES.
Rank extravaganza is charged TO
the Oregon state highway depart
ment Approximately $4,000 worth
of automobile tires were purchased IN
the open market without bids. Charg-
es were made that the department
paid $3.50 for some tires that couid
have been bought for 1929 and further
that because there was not suHlclene
storage room, in some instances prac-
tically new tires were removed from
cars and replaced by tires included
in the new shipment. Some evidence
to support these/harges in part, was
given.
Whether or not these accusations
are true can only be determined by
further investigation, but if they are
based on fact then some way should
be found to recover from those re-
sponsib1e.
There is waste in many depart
ments in all states. This fact seems
to be accepted without much fuss on
the part of anyone. Extravaganza
is permitted in public affairs that
would not be tolerated for moment
in any big business.
The old adage to take care OF Inc
pennies and the dollars will take care
of themselves applies as much to pup
lie affairs as it does to public busl-
ness, but people do not seem to be-
lieve it.-Walla Walla Union. Sia e y

Sam Allard received telephone
message this. Friday, morning from
County Auditor E.. o. Keene. in
which Mr.. Keene said that Judge
Truax had on Thursday decided the
case of C. E. DeBow against A. G..
McNeill in favor Of De Bow and
that Mr., DeBow would take his
scat as county, commissioner at the
meeting of the commissioners on
the first Monday in March. Mr..
Keene said that McNeill had filed
notice Of appeal to the State Su-
preme Court but that this would
not prevent DeBow from taking his
seat at the March meeting Of the
CONT issioners.
Although DeBow received an ov-
erwhelming majority of the votes
over McNeill in the election last
November. the latter refused to
give up his seat, claiming that the
law permitted him to serve out the
full term of his predecessor, DR..
French, whose place he was filling
by appointment. DR.. French's
term would not have expired until
January 1025.

than more funds was the sentiment

them in some way other than
through the membership dues.
