Interesting Summary of the Report of

The report, as filed by L. B. Moon,
who had charge ot the Boundary audit,
is a neat type-written, substantially j
bound volume ot 5a pages, compris
ing in part the certificate ot the audit
ing firm, recommendations and com
ments covering the offices or auditor,
treasurer, assessor, commissioners

at the close of the audit; tax certin
cates held by the county; a discussion
of the methods used successfully in
other counties on the auditing ot the
tax rolls.
Amounts due the county as set forth
by the auditors in the sum ot $585.78
are set forth in detail, chief of which
is an error in the extensions of special
school taxes from School Districts Nos
6, 8 and 14 on the personal tax roll,
of 1918. collections on which have just
Tn e t n hl^ P nnr, PP flnn e tt C 7a n |n y tcrI«Hn U v re tn
In this connection it is interesting to
note that this error w'as discovered
by County Treasurer W. T. James af
ter the regular audit of the personal
tax roll had been made. The errqr
came about through the misplacing of
«i An e An m K 1 . POint Another Item of
? lr a pp ' P l OV Ä° n th :
brjdge claim, was remitted to the
county treasury Saturday. The board
of county commissioners has ordered
corrections as covering the errors on
the personal tax roll and subsequent
tax notices are being sent out calling
for the collection of the various
amounts due.
The auditor's report is on file in the
office of County Clerk and Recorder
J. B. Brody and persons interested
may look over the same as it is now a
part of the public records of the
county.
The W. C. T. y. ladles are still busy
notwithstanding the fact that the war
is over and there is no longer need
for comfort kits and for sewing and
knitting for the Red Cross. At a
meeting held Friday at the home of
Mrs. McGIocklin, the W. C. T. IT.
voted to-send $5.00 to the children's
home at Lewiston and to give $5.00
to the Armenian and Syrian relief
Besides this they have adopted
a French orphan and are contributing
monthly towards its support.
The W. C. T. U. women are greatly
pleased with the action of the Idaho
legislature in ratifying the prohibl
tion amendment and have sent letters
to Senator Walker and Representative
Kent, expressing their thanks and ap
preciatlon of the part Messrs. Walker
and Kent took in this matter

have greatly increased valuations as

t County Director T. J. Jones some
information in regard to the
11919issueofwarsavingsstamps:
We are con8tantly receivinB lnqtilr '|
«es from all over the state as to
er there are to be war savings stamps :
f or sale during 1919. and what thej
character of them is. whether partly
mied thrift cards are any good; ditto
us to war savings certificates, etc. |
Here are the facts; please give them !
a s much publicity as you can. Irres- j
pective of whether you are in a post
t ion to do any pushing of the plans
for the sale of war savings stamps,
the public wants to know these facts |
an( j j 3 entitled to them.
THRIFT STAMPS AND THRIFT!as
CARDS—The general idea that a thrift
card not entirely filled and turned ii*
'fo'' a war savings stamp prior to Dec
ember 31st, is worthless, is entirely
wron g. The same thrift stamps and
thrift cards will be used during 1919.
lf a chibl or an adult has a thrift card
with a few stamps on it, he can con-;
tinue the same card until it is filled
an( j t h en exchange it for a war sav
ings stamp. !
WAR SAVINGS .STAMPS AND CER-;
T1FICATES—The new issue of war
savings stamps mature one year later
than the 1918 isue, or on January 1.1
1924. Their sale price in January is
$4 12 and they increase one cent per
month as did the 1918 issue. Many
complaints have been made as to the
inconvenäent size of both the stamps
an d certificates: accordingly the 1919
wa r stamps' are smaller, their color
j s blue instead of green, and the cer
tifleates on which they are placed cor
responds in size to the thrift card al
though entirely different in character
In®addition, there are issued straight
certificates for $50, $100, $500 and
$1000, for those who wish to buy in
quantity at one time.
Unlike thrift cards, a war savings
certificate is finished when the last
ibis stamp Is put on it, whether it con
tains one or two or five stamps, just
as much as if it had the full twenty
stamps on it. In other words, addi
tional stamps, bought in 1919 are not
placed on an unfilled 1918 certificate.
but upon a new 1919 certificate. It
a 1918 certificate has upon it only four
stamps it is perfect and complete in
sofar as it goes; it bears four per
cent interest, compounded quarterly,
and will he redeemed January 1, 1923.
But in this case it is only a $20 cer
titicate and not a $100 certificate as
it would have been had it received the
full twenty stamps.
A very earnest effort will be made to
induce all citizens to put regularly a
part of their incomes into W'ar sav
lugs stamps, the best security there
is. While some of the bonds can be
realized upon. In case of necessity,
only by selling on the open bond mar
ket at anywhere from 92 to 95 cents
on tbe do i| a r, war savings stamps are
always worth 100 cents on the dollar
land up. depending on how long they
are be i d
Please pass on to the people of your
oa nty the urgent request of the
treasury department that everyone
hold both his bonds and war savings
certficates who can possibly do so.
The 1919 issue of war savings
stamps have been received here and
are on sale at the various postoffices
of the countv. The first purchase of
the 1919 stamps was made by Thomas
A. Hooker, proprietor of the Interna
tional hotel. j
The total of the war savings stamps!
sales in Boundary county for 1918 is
$41,375.27, a little over half of the
quota figured on the basis of $20
worth for every person of an estimated
population of 4.000. John It. Viley,
postmaster, has submitted the follow

There is every icason to believe that
Boundary county will go over the lop

L. X. Brown.
The county quota is
$500. The drive has been well adver

chairman Brown has selected an ef
ficlent corps of assistants in both the
c jty and country districts. The
drive will close ein Sunday, January
19th.
There is reason to believe that this
w ni be Qie only appeal of the year for
purposes of this kind, unless some un
foreseen emergency arises. The Red
Cross has announced that it will not
need fundfs other than the member
s hip enrollment, and all the associa

ample funds by the big drive of last

prehensive and most progressive bills
-ever introduced by a governor of a
western state and paralleled by only
Q ne other case in the history of stale
legislation. Governor Davis today in
troduced « bill Into the legislature
, w hich takes over 48 separate depart
monts of the state government and
places them under nine heads, thereby
saving the .state thousands of dollars
energy.
But the same legislative act will
create five advisory boards for the
.same number of departments which
will constitute expert opinion and will
through its members reflect the opln
ions of and represent the public in a
way which lias not before been acconi
plished.
j "With characteristic business sense
'Governor Davis has approached this
business problem just as he would re
organize a bank or other business in
stitution should he be responsible for
its success as such,'* said Speaker M l

A. Kigor. of the house today.
No peice of legislation presented to
an Idaho legislature in the history of
the state has before caused the
com
ment heard today. In this comment
there was no adverse criticism. All
legislators seemed to agree that its
principles more than stood the test.
Many of them knew that political sei
enlists held no disagreement about the
efficacy ot suth a plan.
Were the bill to be voted on today in
both houses it would pass by acclama
tion. But that there will be some
position to its enactment into a law
seems certain to observers here. It
will come, however, from the office
holder who see his cynosure slipping
away, say the political wiseacres.
These men who now hold office and
would be displaced under the gover
nor's business efficiency plan, are for
the most part rather strong politically
in their homes.
I ()ne legislator from Northern Idaho
put it this way today: "The fellow
from home who holds a job is going to
his legislator to protect his place
at the public trough. Ninety per
cent of the members—yes, ninetyflve
percent, would not run their own bus
iness the way the state's business is
run and the public agrees with them
The way 1 sum it up is that there
"'ill be on the opposition side the
professional, mercenary politician and
opposed to him will be the public and
its Kood. In view ot the supreme im-j
portance of the measure and the per
9 <>iinl pressure of the self-seeking of
fice holder on the legislators, I strong
ly advise that those interested in the
business good of the state urge their
legislators to stand fast on the bill."
