o. s. DEPOSITS NOT PRErEREN
TIAL.

| An Associated Press dispatch in
Tuesday, Is papers contained informa
tion which will be welcomed by de-
positors of the old Union State Bank
in this city. 1t relates to government
deposits and is identical with the In
dian money case, involving some $685.
10000, wherein the United States FL
deity & Guaranty company brought
suit against the commissioner of fl
nance in charge of the Union State
Bank, to have the classification chang
ed from class three to class two, which
would make it preferential claim
This case is set for hearing in the Fed
eral court which meets in Moscow in
May. AS soon as these preferred
claims are disposed of a dividend
should be forthcoming.
The Washington dispatch reads as
follows:
The supreme court today declared
that the United States government de-
posits in failed banks are not entitled
to preferential payment.
The question was raised by the
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
company after failure of the Bank of
Commerce of Okmulgee, Okla. The
supreme court affirmed the decision
of the lower court
The Fidelity and Guaranty company
gave bonds to the federal government
and the state, as well as others, to
secure deposits in the failed bank.
After paying it's obligations on these
bonds the company sought to restrain
state banking officials from paying
out all of the assets of the failed bank |
to unsecured creditors to the exclu-
sion of the deposits of the United
States and the state.
The eighth circuit court Of appeals
held that the federal and state de-
posits were not entitled to preferen-
tia1 payments, but that the surety
must share with the unse-
cured creditors in the assets of the
,ank.

Prof. Lloyd being features of timely
and especial interest. The former
talked on "The Cost of Education. -

turing the fact that under the school
taxing law which became effective the
first of the year the voters of the dis
trict must take hand in fixing the
school levy The levy for the Nez-
perce district has been Is mills for
several years Practically every cent
raised by this levy is required for
keeping our school up to its present
standard. Previously the board had
authority to go up to this is mill linn
it. Under the new law, the board is
limited to eight mills in fixing the
levy, and if more is required the yo-
ters in the district must be called up |
on. They may vote up to seven mills |
more; which, in our case would give |
the customary 15 mills. This action
has been taken in the Kamiah and |
Grangeville districts, and arrange
ments are being made for such pro-
sedure here. The matter must be set
led before June 80.
Mr.. Lloyd made high standards in
school work take on their most at
ractive aspect to both pupils and
eachers, and pointed out that it takes
unds to perpetuate such standards in
chool faculties and school equipment.

David E. Frink, who homesteadet
the quarter section on which the AL
pine school house now stands, sever
miles northeast of this city, and who
resided there until 1911, died on Feb
ruary 26 as the result of paralytie
stroke, at his home near Synarep
Okanogan county, Wash, according to
a letter received last night by his
sister, Mrs. Norton Miller, of this
city.
Mr. Frink was 81 years of age, and
had been in normal health prior to the
fatal stroke. He is survived by his
widow and three sons.
This sad news brings sorrow not on,
ly to his relatives here, but to all the
older residents who knew and held in
highest esteem this good man, who was
a valued citizen and took and active
part in the earlier public life of the
community. He was member of the
local Masonic Lodge until few years
ago, when he transferred his member
ship.
In 1911 he sold his interests here
and moved to Kooskia, where he was
engaged in the flour milling business
until about eight years ago, when he
with his family to the Okano-
gan country and engaged in farming.

refund totaled more than $4,000, ane
the minimum for enc day never falls
below $500. The report states that
gasoline used in tractors for blowing
shredding corn and threshing form the
principal basis for exemption. Where.
as, in Idaho where the combine is
much more used than the stationary
threshing rig, as in South Dakota, the
consumption of gas for harvesting pur-
poses is about trebled.
About all we hear from Washington
of late is the Tea Pot, Dome oil
scandal; and here at home the farmers
are having practically the same game
played upon them, only in a different
form. think it is proper to follow
Mrs G. G. Brink s policy and start
a campaign of education--traee up
some of this rot and make the guilty
ones come across This kind of stuff
is getting too close to home. It's not
only, we can smell the rat, but the
stencil is so strong it is becoming in
furious, not alone to the healthiest but
to the wealthiest.
The time has come that when pub
ic servant, either county, state or
nation, becomes a betrayer of the
public interest all well thinking peo-
pie ought to act, without regard to
'arty lines, and perform their one
luty-justice.
