Meeting of Commercial Clubs.

The League of Southern Idaho
Commercial Clubs will hold their
fourth annual convention at Nampa,
November 16 and II. The League
started a campaign to get an appro-
priation of $25, 900 a year from
the next legislature for an Immigra-
ton and Advertising Bureau of the
State. 1t is this bureaus business
to gather up statistics of Idaho and
publish them. This work will
build up every little community of
Idaho, help to populate our vacant
lands and to bring in new investors.
1t is of equal Importance to every
one and the state cannot be too lib
eral if the money is thus used. The
sentiment favoring the creation of a
commission to regulate railroads has
grown great deal in the last two
years and this convention will be
asked to endorse law calling for a
Railroad Commission. Our legisla-
ture has not yet made any provi-
sions for having Idaho represented
at the Alaska Y Yukon-Pacific Expo
sition to be held in Seattle during
1909. The League will undoubtedly
take some action on this and will
probably ask for an appropriation.
The convention will be called to or
der Monday afternoon, November
16 and every city in southern Idaho
should be represented.

were given less than 19. 1000 votes
in the police returns, and the most
sanguine do not expect that the
revised totals will exceed 1000
votes for Mr.. Debs. Cincinnati
and Cleveland, also listed as strong
Socialist centers according to the
leaders of the party, polled great
ly decreased vote.
While admitting the adverse fig
ures A. M. Simmons, member of
the national committee of the So
cialist party, asserted that an in
crease was shown in the vote this
year in the small towns Mr.. Sim
mons said: "Mr. Gompers infuenc
ed the labor vote, on which the So
cialist party depends to great ex
tent. His words caused many
thousand semi Socialists of radical
views to vote for Mr.. Bryan and
also frightened many conservative
labor men into voting for Mr.. Taft.
We are particularly pleased with
results on the Pacific coast, where
an increased vote was shown in
many towns. We have received
word of gains in Texas towns,
from Missouri and a few towns
in New York.
The total vote for Mr.. Debs, it
is estimated, will not exceed 500,
900, in place of the / million
which was predicted by enthusias-
tic Socialists.

BOARD TAKES ACTION.
VIII Submit Proposition to
Vote $4,000 Bonds.

/
The school board Monday nigh
tackled the financial problem whicl
confronts the Emmett Independent
school district and decided to sub
nit to the voters of the district il
the near future a proposition Il
issue bonds to take up the floating
indebtedness, amounting to ap-
proximately $13, 600, and to build
another school building or an ad
dition to the present building. which
will cost probably about $40. 900
making the total bond issue abou1
$33. 600
With this end in view the board
authorized the employment of an
architect to draw plans and speci6
cations for an addition to the
Wardwell building large enough
to accommodate six or eight more
rooms. if he thinks an addition i.
advisable, otherwise to prepare
plans for a separate building of
eight rooms on the school grounds.
It is also proposed to install heat
ing plant to heat both buildings
The architect will also be asked
to decide whether the attic in the
Wardwell building can be fitted
up and used for high school
room. The crowded condition Of
the schools at the present time
and the prospects for a steady
growth in the future demands tha
immediate action be taken along
the lines mentioned above. AT
The beginning of this term the
board was compelled to rent two
rooms in business houses in order
to accommodate the overflow of
pupils. For a time this relieved
the congestion. but the relief was
only temporary.
According TO the returns of the
county assessor, the property val
uation of the district is $344. SAB,
which according to law, gives the
district the right to issue bonsd in
the amount of $51, 600. The pres
ent bonded indebtedness is SIT, 900.
The floating Indebtedness is $13,
900, leaving a balance of $21, 900
for bonding purposes. The board
has an offer from a trust company
to take the bonds at 5 Il per cent.
As the district is now paving Z per
cent on the floating Indebtedness,
there is no question as to advisa-
bility of issuing bondsg to take up
the debt.
The need of additional school
room is apparent. Shall the dis
trict be bonded for the purpose of
another building? That
is the question that will soon be up
for the consideration of the tax
payers OF the district.

South at Last is Free"

In an editorial in the Atlanta
Constitution on the election, Clark
Howell, wko is the Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Georgia,
says:
In Tuesdays election the South
ern states began the writing of the
political history of independence.
The result means that the time has
passed when a resident of one oi
these states must buy his social Sc
curity, often, perhaps. at the price
of his political convictions.
"Many business men the South
over, most of them adherents OF
the Democracy all their lives, dared
to support hopefully and openly the
candidates of the Republican party.
because their conviction led them
that way.
"The Constitution is indorsing
their action only to the extent of
saying they were right in giving
that expression to their true con-
victions.
"That Southern vote which,
in firm belief, wrenched itself away
from sectional political tradition,
and it was large one, was signifi-
cant. 1t means that the time has
come when the voter of the South
is going to demonstrate his faith
by works and not let convictions
wait upon cobwebbed tradition
which a new nationalism has de-
creed must be dropped.
I'm national affairs there remains
no longer reason why the people
of the South should not follow men
and principles which to them appear
best and promise most to nation
al growth aud national prosperity.
