r \NCHC3 IN A'uL THE PRINCTAL CITIES
POOR NAMPA HAS IT BAD
To the oldet residents of Nampa
who know the history of the two
cities, their progress and development
in the past years, the rivalry that has
always existed between them, and the
jealous attitude toward this city of
a certain clique of "Caldwell boosters
(The Tribune included), the object of
the above extract is plainly obvious
But, to those who have settled in our
midst lately and to the outsiders it
might be well to analyze the state
ment and brand its author with the
ialsity that he endeavors to establish
at the expense of Nampa.
To be pertinent, let's ask a few
questions: If the people of Caldwell
are well pleased with a dry town and
a dry county, why did the Tribune in
a recent issue ridicule the Canyon
county delegation to the legislature
for their stand for state-wide prohi
bition, conferring upon them the title
of "one-idea men?" Is it consistent to
believe that the Tribune is voicing the
consent of the people? If business
has never been better in Caldwell than
it is today, why is it that the news
papers are complaining of lack of sup
ort on the part of the merchants; why
is it that several business establish
ments "went broke'' in the past few
weeks and why are the banks refus
ing to make loans to their best eus.
tomers, regardless of the amount of
security offered? If the people of
Caldwell are prosperous and content
ed and doing well, why is the city of
Caldwell financially embarrassed, and
in a state of bankruptcy; why are the
school trustees of that city borrow
ing money to pay their teachers; why
are nearly one-half of the citizens al
lowing their taxes to go delinquent;
and, why is the whole city completely
at a los sto remedy their "rotten'' sew
er system? The Tribune's philosophy
is a pipe dream in the face of the evi
dence that the pity of Caldwell pre
sents. The effort to establish Cald
well in a superior light by suppress
ing the actual conditions and senti
ments goes to show that the Tribune
is afraid of publicity. Caldwell is
afraid to turn on the searchlight. They
dare not because the conditions are so
utterly rotten that it would show up
more than a temporary state of de
pression. Of course they will grow
out of it, just like a small boy with
pimples, but wearing a mask will only
make them more conspicuous
To be loyal to its city it i, perfectly
proper for the Tribune to believe that
Caldwell will be the future metropo
lis of the Boise valley. It is a bless
ing to be able to console oneself with
such faint hopes. However, let's
look back for a few years: Ten years i
ago Caldwell had approximately 1,500 |

people; Nampa had 500 Today, tak
ing the vote at the last election as a
basis for estimate, Caldwell has 3788,
and Nampa has 4364. The increase
in per cent of deposits per capita at
the banks for the past two years has
been: Caldwell, 17 per cent, Nampa,
75.2 per cent. To enumerate the im
provements, the money invested, and
the general advancement of this city
and compare it with that of Caldwell
would be a long and tedious 'task, but
we leave it to the reader as to who
would be embarrassed.
The statement that the territory tri
butary to Caldwell is three times as
large as that tributary to Nampa is
merely a platitude. It merely sub
stantiates the inconsistencey of thé
author and displays the extreme effort
in search for argument. It needs no
refutation, as anyone with common
sense and a slight acquaintance of the
country can readly understand.
The whole sum and substance of
the Tribune's article amounts to noth
ing but an attempt to "slip one over"
on Nampa. It realizes that Caldwell
is up against it, and it would lik
keep Nampa in the same boat. But
what's the use, Nampa is not afraid
to investigate herself, she is not afraid
to turn on the light. She knows there
is something wrong just at present
and she is going to make an investi
gation regardless of results.
The foregoing is from the Nampa
Record, which Is preceded by a portion
of an article in the last issue of The
Tribune. The answer of the Redbrd
is entirely aside from the points at
issue. We simply accepted the state
ments made by Mr. E. H. Dewey to be
correct, in as far as they applied to
conditions at Nampa. We then pro
ceeded to show that Mr. Rewey had not
investigated very thoroughly pr
would not have ascribed the causes
for the condition to the fact that Can
yon county Is dry. Conditions were not
brought about by the fact that a couple
of dozen saloons were put out of busi
ness. If Nampa's future is founded
upon the saloon business its outlook
is certainly darker than we thought
Even though it is, if we were a resident
Nampa feels that that is the cause she
ing such a humiliating confession. We
would prefer to ascrbe the cause for
the conditon to most anythng except
the fact that the town was dry. But If
Nampa feels tha that is the cause she
Is welcome to the delusion. Let her
get what comfort she can out of lier
whimsical delusions.
The Record proceeds to ask some
pertinent questions as it calls them
We shall attempt to answer these per
tlnent questions. Why did the Tribune"
ridicule the Canyon county legislative
delegation If it were satisfied with a
dry town, is the first pertinent ques
tion. We would lfke to have the Record
explain what ridicule of the Canyon
delegation has to do with our satisfac
tion with a dry town? or our dissatis
faction with it? If we remember cor
rectly the Tribune felt called upon to
reprove the Canyon delegation because
two members of that delegation were
inclined to cut off appropriations from
the Pocatello Academy and the Lewis
ton Normal. Does a paper have to be
dissatisfied with a dry county because
it is in favor of the state supporting
its own educational insttutions? "Ii
it consistent to believe that the Tri
bune is voicing the sentment of the
people?" is the second pertinent ques
tion. Now that question is indeed
pertinent. We assure the Record that
the Tribune is voicing the sentiment
5 per cent of the people of Canyon

r?oently closed
5 per cent of the people of Canyon
of
county. Question No. 3 is just as per
tinent as some of the others. It is why
the newspapers complaining of
lack of support? We did not know they
were. But we have heard the same
complaint when Caldwell had four or
five saloons. Newspapers like other
business concerns complain many
times in order to be complaining. The
fourth question is "why have several
business houses gone broke?" As these
business houses were located in Nampa
e Record should know why they went
broke. Mr. Dewey thinks they went
broke becauso Nampa is dry. We think
they went broke because there were
too many of them in Nampa for the
amount of business there. Again the
Records asks why are banks refusing
to make loans to their best customers,
ley are not in Caldwell. In Nampa
ey may doing it because they havn't
e money. They havn't the money
■i::iu8e there are too many people
Mr. Dewey it is said
a deal involving a
I million dollars and proceeded to Boise
I with hi million notwithstanding the
j fret that he is the president of one
! Nampa bank and the vice-piesident of
moth r So it goes. The Record
: winds up by inquiring into our sewer
J system. N'ow that sewer system will
bear looking into. Undoubtedly it is
rotton because Canyon county is dry.
The Record says thr.t Caldwell is as
bad as Nampa if not worse. It says
that the bank deposits of Nampa have
increased 75.2 per cent while those of
Caldwell have increased only 17 per
cent. If the Record were reasonably
intelligent it would have refrained
from that statement. It proves its case
against itself. How much of an in
crease would Nampa have to have in
order to show prosperity. However,
after having increased 75.2 per cent
the deposits in the four Caldwell banks
are a little over four times the deposits
in the three Nampa banks.
But it is really too bad on poor old
Nampa. The Tribuns has no desire to
offen4 Nampa or point out her shame.
It is Mr. Dewey, not the Tribune, who
slipped one over on Nampa. He called
attention to the bad state of affairs.
The Record shows little more gumption
than Dewey. It would like to make
out that Caldwell is in bad loo, but
the people here refuse to believe it
Of course in order to lighten the bur
den of Nampa we will admit that one
of our sewers is rotten. If there be
any consolation in a rotten sewer
Nampa is entitled to that consolation.
A SPLENDID APPOINTMENT.
Governor Hawley did not hesitate
long after the passage of the judiciary
bill providing for an assistant judge in
the third district, in selecting the new
judge. Almost immediately he an
nounced the choice of John F. Mac
Lane to be the second judge in the
district. The appointment of Mr.
MacLane to fill that position is one
of the best acts the new governor has
performed. All who are acquainted
with Judge MacLane recognize the
fact that he is most ably qualified to
perform the duties and solve the ques.
tions that will be necessary for him to
consider as a judge.
Judge MacLane, prior to his
pointment, has bcon prominent in th
circles of the republican party, and
he has held positions of trust in Ida
ho. The fact that he is a republican
make his appointment by Governor
Hawley all the more commendable
Professor MacLane, as he is the more
commonly known to Moscow people
in the short time that he had^charge
of the law college at the university
made a great name for himself, and
did much to put the law department
upon a most substantial footing H
was the pride of every law student
the college, and it was a very commo
occurrence to hear the students say
that their idol was the best law lec
turer in the west. In fact, they are
willing to back him against anyone
in the profession, bar none.
The regard and opinion of tta stu
dents at the university is but \t fai
example of the general respect and
confidence shown by all who person
ally know the new judge. It is a re
cognized fact that he has an except
ionally strong legal ability and per
sonality, and Governor Hawley can
not be praised too highly for his sound
judgment in the choice he has made.—
