to float, with added engineering and architectural fees and
profits added to the actual building costs.
For instance, a building, the actual material and labor cost of
which is $4,000 would, under the present system of bonded in
cost the taxpayers approximately S260,250, or about
more than it is worth. This discrepancy may seem start
to the average person, but this is how it is figured out: To
the actual cost of the building material and labor Git is assumed
that the structure would be erected on county-owned lots), would
have to be added the profits of the various contractors who could
be called in and induced CD to bid on the work, which amounts to
practically Is per cent, or $18, $50; then would have to be added
engineering, architectural and other construction and supervisory
fees of about 10 per cent, which amounts to $9,375 of the total after
the contractors profits have been added; to this total of S203 125,
which would be the actual amount of the bond issue, there would
then have to be added an equal amount-an additional sos, 1876
the actual amount of the accrued interest on 20-year-bonds making
the actual total cost of a $4,000 building, to the taxpayers at the
end of the 2O-year period, exactly $2O6,25O, or approximately $751;
$50 more than the building is worth, or that it could be butt for
under a different system Of financing than is in vogue in this pres
ent day and age.
Those who would oppose the construction of a new courthouse
at this time, under the present system, and "their name is legion"
point to similar coivic work being done in many progressive east
en and westcoast cities, whereby all contractors profits, engi-
neerng and architectural fees and bond interest is done away with,
the work being executed by day labor entirely under the supervis-
ion OF city, county Or state officials, acting in their exact official
capacity, and financed from actual funds in bank, placed on de-
post from year to year out of a special advance sinking fund, voted
by the people for that specific purpose, and drawing cumulatively
increasing, or compound, interest until such time as the cash
money is actually in bank to meet the material and construction
costs. H
Whether or not this plan viii ever be worked out in the con-
struction Of public works in this county remains to be seen, but it
is a "dead-a-mortal-cinch, as the man on the street would say,
that the taxpayers vii. vigorously buck" any attempt to put over
a new courthouse bond issue under the present system of govern
mental financing, which calls upon the taxpayers to shell out $685.
ESQ for a $4,000 county building. So that in any consideration of
the new courthouse proposition the question of it's physical safety
will have to be discussed alongside the question of the sanity of
its financing. $50

That rehabilitation is actually pro-
ceeding in Poland in spite of the ad-
verse financial position of govern
ment finances is indicated in the fol-
lowing statement of Mr.. Willis H.
Booth, vice president of the Guaranty
Trust Company, who recently visited
that country.
Mr.. Booth states that physical con-
dition in Poland are showing each
year a marked improvement. The
country is largely agricultural and we
find this year that 100 per cent of the
arabic and tillable lands are under
cultivation, though the yield will be
only 80 per cent of the pre-war pro-
duction On account of the lack of ferti-
lizers. Modern methods of crop ro-
tation r employed and living con-
ditiOns of the rural population COM
pare most ~favorably with that Of 9TH
er European countries. The nation

sugar and potatoes.
Poland has both high and low grade
coal and lumber, low grade iron, and
salt in abundance, with ample surplus
of the latter for export. There are
also rich oil fields, deposits of zinc and
lead, and some silver. The iron and
coal industry c~entering about Kato-
vice reminds one of Pittsburgh, with
its forest of smokestacks.
Although the textils mills in LODI
were wrecked during the German oc-
| cupation, they have been restored to
first-class condition and are equal to
textile mills anywhere. 1t was graft
flying to learn, in going over the mills,
that the cotton firms of the United
States have been of great and liberal
assistance in the supplying of raw cot
ton.

son assisted Mr.. Peterson in the prose-
cution of the three cases that went
to the jury.
The Stevens Case
In the case of the state against
Louis Stevens, charged with possess
ing and selling liquor, which came up
for trial Monday morning, a verdict
for acquittal was returned by the jury
who were divided as follows: For
guilty, Ralph Bates, E. M. Cummings,
E. R. Helm and w. L. Powers; for
not guilty, Harry Fridley, W. E. Har-
ris, Albert Merton, Oscar Sales, Jess
L. Taylor, E. C. Warwood, w. E.
Weber and w. E. Young. The two
thirds majority ruled and the YER
dict was therefore accepted by the
court.
The testimony against Stevens was
that Lo Garner, a state prohibition
agent, had "made a buy" from the
defendant on August 1, and that on
the following day he secured a search
warrant and raided the barn of the
defendant on Church avenue, where
the liquor was alleged to have been
discovered.
The defense contended that the
liquor did not belong to him and that
he had never, at any time, sold any
liquor to, Garner, although he testi-
fled that the agent was intoxicated on
the several occasions he had been in
his company. On one occasion he testi-
field that he supplied the chokecherry
wine while Garner supplied the
moon with which they concocted
highballs.

that he had never 9 Garner intoxi-

his company for a number of days at
a time. Deputy Sheriff Howell testi-
fled along the same lines. Mrs.

is OUR COURTHOUSE SAFE?

The reiterated reference made last week by Judge Ben B. Law,
sitting in the Danner murder trial, to the insecurity of the trial
room on the second floor of the courthouse under the strain of
the combined weight Of a very large number of people, such as
were in attendance during the trial of the gruesome case, injects
an entirely new angle into the question of whether or not Ganatin
county should construct a new county administrative building.
When it is considered tina. the combined weight of the several
hundred peope-al adults and nearly all men of average or above
average weight and stature-who forced their way into the big
room and crowded tightly in the aisles and along the walls, amount
ed to approximately fifty tons of live, shifting weight, equal to
the combined weight of two ordinary gondola railroad freight cars
loaded with coal, Judge Laws reference to the halfcentury age
of the building, as made by him several times in open court during
the court of the legal proceedings, takes on a more serious aspect
that the average resident of this community has so far been will
ing to admit.
To the broad statement that public buildings and equipment
that are absolutely indispensable in the proper conduct of the pub
lie business and the efficient governmental administration of public
affairs, should be constructed and maintained in the interests of
the taxpaying public on whom the burden of expense necessarily
falls, should be added the commonsense assertion that the personal
safety of the general public who have occasion to use the building
should, by all means, be safeguarded, and the health of the county
tected, the former through solid, stable and scientifically correct
methods of construction, and the latter through modern and scien-
tificaly correct methods of ventilation and sanitation.
Another point that has been raised in favor of a new, modern
courthouse in Gallatin county is that the present structure has
grown obsolete more rapidly than would have otherwise been the
case had not numerous college, school, bank, civic and fraternal
buildings been recently erected to the detriment,. in both artistic
appearance and labor-saving appointments, of our older civic
structures.
Those who would oppose the construction of a new court
house for some years to come are actuated-and ~rightfuly So
by a feeling that, under the present system of bonded Indebtedness,
the taxpayers would be called upon to pay, in taxes, more than
twice the actual cost of the building, the more than 100 per cent
Of additional cost being the payment of interest of from 5 per cent
to per cent on the lOngterm county bonds that it would be neces-
