Washington, Oct., 18 The Demo cratic party is claiming credit for prosperity although everybody knows that the prosperity caused by war or ders and big crops is not due the De mocratic party. How about the prosperity of Uncle Sam? If the government itself is prosperous under the management of tiie Democratic party, there is nothing more to say. Uncle Smii is not prosperous. He Is In a hole. His treasury has a deficit, and his managers have piled up a lot of expenditures at the recent ses sion of Congress, which forced the im position of new taxes and the issuance of bonds. Uncle Sam must go into debt at this time when the Demo crats are boasting of prosperity. Disbursements Fxceed Receipts. The excess of disbursements over receipts lias renclied $25,000,000 since the first of July. That is only the beginning. Many disbursements have been "carried over" on the books, and will show up next year. If the Democrats are successful in November they need not care. If they lose they will turn the deficit over to the Republicans. Spend Two ISillions a Year. The total appropriations this year will run over $2,000,000,000. This is now a two-billion-dollar-a-year gov ernment, so far as expenses go under a Democratic administration. But it is not a two billion-dollar-country when it comes to raising revenue by ordinary means, such as the customs, duties, internal revenue, public lands, receipts, etc. So the Democratic par ty has imposed new and unusual and discriminating taxes, besides provid ing for issuing bonds to take care of the Mexican border expenses and the purchase of ships. About $266,000,000 of this fiscal year's enormous expenditures will be on account of "national defense," which is supported by all parties. Subtracting that sum, there remains an excess of at least $250,000,000 over the appropriations pf last year which the Democratic party could have saved by earful and economic legislation. I Provide for "Deserving Democrats. : All sorts of extravagances have been permitted to creep into the ap propriation bills this year. The gov ernment service has been expanded unblushingtly in order to give "de serving Democrats" fat jobs. About 30,000 new offices have been created, ranging In salaries from $900 a year up to $12,000 a year. The depart ments have been authorized to enter upon new and experimental, fads which will demand bigger appropria tions next year unless the Republi cans obtain control and shut oft these foolish experiments, j The failure of the Democratic tar iff law to bring in sufficient revenue Is to be met by new taxes. The in come tax is increased and its applica tion widened. Northern industry is taxed and southern industry is left untaxed. A scrutiny of the new re venue law reveals that it is cunningly devised all the way through to tax northerns" and westerns and let south erners off as lightly as possible. It is a sectional measure as well as a measure discriminating between In dividuals. I Another Democratic Rond Issue. ! After having made these taxes as high as they dared, the Democrats framing a law were confronted with a bill of $j5,000,000 to pay for the administration's blunders along the Mexican border. This sum cannot be squeezed out in taxes without raising a fuss, so the money will be raised by borrowing. In this time of peace and wonderful Democratic prosperity .Uncle Sam is to borrow $125,000,000 I on his Panama Canal bonds to pay ;the cost of mobilizing the army and aational guard on the border and then demobilizing them. The King of France marched up the hill and then marched down again, but it is not re corded that it cost him $125,000,000 to execute his brilliant exploit. Prosperity! If you see a seedy old gentleman with a goatee feeling hopelessly in his empty pockets, and then signing a mortgage for $125, 000,000, don't talk to him of Demo cratic prosperity, for he may be come profane. His name is Uncle Sam. I Mfe Stedk i W(ofea dli Choose Hughes! "The man who's unafraid To safeguard American Trade." Choose Hughes, "He points his shaft At 'pork' and graft.." New Second Hand Store. G. W. Verdofc of Nez Perce, Idaho and J. R. Foreman of Portland have opened up a second hand store in the Pleiss building on May street under the firm name of G. W. Verdot & Co.

Mr. Foreman is an expert sewing machine repair' man, and makes that Hoe of Industry his spe cialty. See their advertisement in another column ot this paper, Mi nuitii HUM NEIGHBORING CITIES Sheriff Welch returned this week from Greenhorn where he was call ed on official business. He reports the Greenhorn camp lively. The min ing industry has picked up wonder fully tli re this summer and fall and a great deal of interest is being shown in the mining properties. Ed Reed has developed a valuable pro perty and he is working on the 200 foot level. This mine is located on the opposite side of the mountain from Ben Harrison and the ore is of the same character. Men are wanted in that part of the county and it is said that the milling and logging operations in the Austin country are several hundred men short. They are unable to secure enough help. Caynon City Blue Mt. Eagle. Elmer Montague reports while he was visiting the Willow creek school Wednesday, John Peterson had an encounter with a rabid coyote. Pet erson says that he struck the animal in the back with a grubbing hoe after which it trotted of, but not far far enough but what Peterson had time to get a gun and take a shot at it, This attracted the attention of the school children at school and a number of them saw the animal run ning over the hill out of sight. Ar lington Independent. Tbe caynon road to Condon was opened to traffic Thursday, though the new grade will not be completed down Thirtymile creek for some weeks yet. Part of the route now traveled is along the creek bed and is quite rough, but still much better than the Devil's Backbone road. Fossil Journal. SHEEP WORTH $1 MORE IE HUGHES IS ELECTED Transaction Here Causes Considera ble Discussion Among Sheep-Men. The election of Charles E. Hughes as president of the United States means that sheep are worth a dollar more a head than if Woodrow Wilson is returned to the White House.
