Party Lines obliterated When
Field Day Tactics Enter
Into the Fight.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 27.-Wtth its
war paint on the House of Representa-
tivcs by sweeping majorities many
times defed the Senate by rejecting its
amendments to the executive appro-
priation bill providing for salary in

Bill to Conference.
The battle waged for more than six
hours. at the end of which the bill was
sent to conference. So much time was
consumed in the consideration of the
conference report on that measure that
u night session was made necessary in
order that further discussion of the
sundry civil appropriations bill. which
has dragged along for several days.
might be had.
The house conferees s~trenuously de-
Tended their report. which, insofar as
there was no disagreement, was adopt
ed. Mr.. Clark. of Missouri, declared
that instead OF $50. 900 the president
actually received 1921 900 per annum.
The vote on each increase was taken
separately, and by Il vote of 81 to lO2
the House refused to accept the amend
lnent increasing the speakers salary.
Cannon Votes for 1t.
Before the announcement was made,
Speaker Cannon directed that his
name be recorded in the affirmative.
An unusual scene followed. Members
were on their feet in a general scram-
bic for recognition for motions of one
sort or another. The speaker, %unrufflef
by his besiegers, held that a motion by
Mr.. Watson, of Indiana, to recede from
the amendment and amend it so as TO
make the salary $4,000, was preferen-
tial. Mr.. Watson sought to shut off
debate by moving the previous ques-
ton. and OH that proposition the roll
again was called.
The previous question was ordered.
and on the vote being taken on the
adoption of the amendment it was car
ried. 163 to 149. amid republican app
p!ause.
The amendment will make the presi-
dents salary equivalent to the present
salary plus the $4,000 appropriation
heretofore allowed him for travelling
expenses, the latter appropriation be-
ing stricken out.

THAT BOOSTER BOOKLET

The heralded pamphlet advertising
the Panhandle OF Idaho, and issued
under authority OF the Commercial
club Jointly with the Spokane & In
land electric company, the Red Col
lar line OF steamers and the Idaho &
Washington Northern railway, Is
very neat piece Of printing and shows
up the resorts and scenic features
along these lines In most attractive
manner. and as a booster for scenic
beauty and the numerous summer
resorts and outing places is all that
could be desired In this respect u
IL q work Of art The numerous pic
lures OF Red Collar line steamers on
the "shadowy st, joe" together with
the information regarding the run
ming OF the boats to the beauty spots,

formation as to the best means OF
reaching these beauties OF nature
will all attract the summer tourist
and create an increased tourist bust
ness II the literature Is given wide
circulation, all OF which will help this
part OF the country. As dissemin-
atoF on information which will at
tract the person seeking q home and
q business, or place where they may
DO attracted by Its resources and OPP
portunities for earning living or
something better the booklet is
failure. as II contains practically none
Of this information. 1t is now
claimed that the Job Is costing S3,-
100 and the committee has $4,000
pledged, among this $500 from the
electric line. s40O from the Red Col
lar line and $500 from the Idaho q

ING q deficit OF S7OO which the coun-
~ commissioners are asked to pay.
II seems inconsistent to put the
booklets on sale as an article Of mer-
chandise and then ask the people OF
the county to pay the deficiency Of
s7OO.
The Press offered to print this Job
under a guarantee OF workmanship
and stock for S2,26O. but lost 1t, as
tho committee explained because the

ane, had agreed to print It for 81

Commercial club are interested In
the matter only In so far as the name
Of the organization Ia being used In

erwise II Ia an enterprise OF those
who agreed to pay for II, and we see
no reason why the county should con-
tribute to the payment OF an exhor-

since II has no legal right to do so.

BuIoch Prepares for Great Annual
 Exposition.

Union Springs, January S.-(Special.)- Attorney J. T. Norman has filed papers in the office of the secretary of state in corporating the Bullock County Fair as sociation with an authorized capital Of s50Oo. The promoters of the fair met with such success last year that it has en- couraged them to make the annual fair of Bullock a permanent thing. The fol- lowing are the officers of the associa- ton: c. R. Russell, president; H. G.. Ramsey, vice president; C. l.. Gholston general manager; M. N. Eley. secretary and treasurer.
 new half-mile race track is being built and will soon be ready for use. Large and commodious stables are being erected and one man has already engaged place for five horses to be kept and trained. A trainer from Montgomery will come out in the spring and bring a string of fine horses with him. large fish pend is being dug out and will be stocked with fish.
 A horse show will be held in connection with the fair. The fair grounds are To- cated near the Central depot and are easi~ ly accessible to the city and those who come in on the trains. This permanent organization means much for Bullock and the people are enthusiastic.
