DO AWAY
WITH AGENT
COMMISSIONERS MAKE NO
APPROPRIATION FOR THE
COUNTY AGENT

The board of county commits
sioners of Idaho county in
session at Grangeville, Monday,
unanimously voted not to make
an appropriation to carry on the
work of the county agent, thus
automatically discontinuing the
services Of County Agent Carl
M. Grayson of Idaho county.
The commissioners gave him un-
til February 18th to clean up all
work in his office.
The step taken by the Idaho
county fathers in no way reflects
upon the work of Mr.. Grayson
whose efforts have been more
than satisfactory since assum-
ing these duties but is one OF
economy and for the reduction
of taxation. Petitions were pre-
sented to the board both for
and against the county agent.
The commissioners, when they
were ready to take up the mat
ter of retaining or abolishing the
office were confronted with two
petitions, one bearing the sigma
ture Of 47S names for abolish
ment and another one with 3O2
names asking that the agent be
retained.
In the face Of these two petit
tions the commissioners could do
but one thing and that was to
follow the wishes of those sign
ing the petition containing the
largest number of signatures.
The sentiment against 9
county agent was the strongest
in the Salmon river section and
on the prairie it was about
equally divided.
Mr.. Grayson already has sew.
eral propositions in view for 8
new location.
