There are so many good farms be-

an easy matter to be optimistic.

MAILS BY AIRSHIPS
President of Aero Club of Utah Makes
Proposition to Postmaster Gen
eral; Referred to Congress

ald-Republican, Salt Lake City
Washington, March 30-Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock has received
from Adolph Brodbeck of 900 Rice
street, Salt Lake, an inquiry as to
whether the government will give en-
couragement to a line of airships to
carry the United States mails around
the world.
Mr.. Brodbeck says such globe
line is to be established, and that the
mails can be transported safely and
quicker than by rail or water. His
letter says:
Dear sir: 1t is intended to organ
ize a globe line by means of airships
of the Zeppelin type, so-called dirigi-
BILE balloons. They have shown be-
yond doubt their practicability.
They can carry over thirty persons
already, and much more in the near
future, and all in all are as safe as a
railroad or steamer, and as fast,
or faster. The line would 60 to New
York to Legion via Pekin, with
branch lines, The great advantage
of this line Is the avoiding of the At
lantic and Pacific oceans, and there
fore be twice as fast as steamers go
ing forty miles an hour: The princi-
pal stations are New York, Chicago,
Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake, San Fran
cisco, Seattle, Fort Williams, Behring
Sakholm, Toxic, Pekin, Irkutsh,
Omsk, Orenburg, Moscow, st. Peters,
burg, Riga, Berlin, Cologne, Paris,
London. Besides there are branches,
especially in America and Europe.
Want U. s. Mails
81 come to ask if such a line would
be allowed to carry part of the Uni
ted States mails; If Congress has to
decide this, or the government postal
department, and If such line has a
legitimate right to ask for it, in case
faster service can be shown than with
railroads and steamers, and If the
rates are no higher; and, finally, If air
ship line subsidies are likely to be
granted on the same ground as are
steamship lines. Only by cordial CO.
operation of the various governments
is a complete success possible, and en-
couragement from the start is most
valuable.

TO HAVE ANOTHER REPRESENT.
ALIVE
1t is Believed Census Will Show That
Idaho Has Doubled i'm Popula- 20
ton i'm Ten Years

There is more than passing inter-
est to Idaho people in taking of
the census of this decade. Ten years
ago when the people were counted
Idaho had increase over the last de-
cade, almost 100 per cent or more
than any other state of the Ameri-
can nation.
In 1890 this state had population
of $4,000; equivalent to one person
for each square mile of the territory
embraced within our borders. Should
we have doubled in population during
this decade. we will still have but
four people to a square mile of our
territory, says C. E. Arney in an in
teresting article to the Salt Lake
Tribune.
But even this will amount to
great deal to Idaho. 1t will suffice to
give us an extra representative in
the lower branch of the congress
which is an item altogether worth
while.
Should such a result obtain the
next session of the Idaho legislature
will be called upon to divide Idaho
into first and second congressional
district. The present congress will
make it's new apportionment based
on the census of 1910; before the
meeting of the next Idaho session and
if Idaho falls heir to an additional
congressman, two, instead of one at
large, will be chosen by the voters
at the fall election of 1912.
The division of the state into two
congressional districts will cause
some considerable excitement in the
public mind 1t will be urged, with
some degree of logic-that the six
northern counties should constitute
a congressional district; leaving the
other seventeen southern counties in
the other. The northern counties of
Bonner, Kootenia, Shoshone, Latah,
Nez Perez and Idaho all lie in the
non-arid belt. TO be sure, they do
some irrigating, but they by no means
depend on irrigation throughout their
farming localities. In consequence
they have but passing interest in ir-.
rigation.
1t would be easy for a congress
man to pass over either of these dis
tricts to famiiarize himself with the
requirements of his constituency, and
it is altogether likely that in the
event a second congressman is allotted
to Idaho, such a division will be
made.

CHEERFUL VIEW

Idaho Register.
1t seems the tropical climate and
balmy breezes of South America has
had a most soothing effect uoon Mr..
William Jennings Bryan. In recent
speech made in Lima, Peru, he
breathed orth spirit of optimistic,
cheerfulness concerning his native
land and people, past, present. and
future, that is really refreshing, in
the following words:
There is more altruism in the
United States than anywhere else in
the world; the people of the United
States are doing more in an unselfish
way for the benefit of the human race
than any other people. If this seems
boastful. | beg you to put the state
ment to test and you will find that
there Is scarcely place in the world
that our people have not already un-
selfishly invaded, with no other pur-
pose than to raise the level of man.
kind and to carry help and happiness
to those who have been less fortunate
than ourselves"
1t might be we'll to induce a num-
Der of our dispairing and pesemistic
statesmen to make a journey to the
South American climate and observe
the turbulent political and unsatis-
factory domestic conditions of the lit
tie republics as remedy for the dis
content with conditions at home.
If a greater number of our states
men as we'll as our people at large
could or would do as Mr.. Bryan has
done, visit other parts of the world
and observe closely existing condi-
tons, there would result higher
appreciation of the merits and ad-
vantages the American has over the
balance of the world, irrespective of
the act that we have our problems
to solve; have had and always will
have. By working with them in the
proper spirit and energy characteristic
of our country all of them will in
time be solved.

Costly Distribution.

There are many things that fail to
support the view that city consumers
pay high prices for supplies because
farmers are benighted class who
don't know how to produce things
economically. We have already cited
the case of milk, which costs the con.
sumner several times what the pro.
Queer gets for it, and there are many
other instances, says the Baltimore
American. Tomatoes that the pro
Queer sold for rs cents crate cost
the consumer $1.75. Cabbage that the
producer sold for IS to so cents a
crate cost the consumer $1.35, and 50,
on. We repeat that wasteful produc.
ton is less to blame than costly dis
trbution for the prices consumers
must put up for what they eat. Wher
will both sides realize this and GU
operate for better things?

USE OF ALCOHOL WITH TEST
Method 1aaReadins Fat Cream Been
in Use at'-Wtssansih Dairy
School for Some Time.

The suggestion has recently been
made by DR.. Babcock that the solvent
action of alcohol on fat can be over
come by first adding to alcohol all the
fat it will dissolve and then pouring a
small quantity of this fat-saturated
alcohol on the top of the fat column
in the test bottle. This method OF
reading the fat cream testing has
been in use for some tire at the
Wisconsin Dairy school with very
satisfactory results. The top and the
bottom of the fat column appear as
nearly straight lines, giving two exact
points between which fat can be
measured.
The diagrams illustrate the differ.
ence in appearance of the top of the
fat column before and after using the

FOR DIRECT LEGISLATION

To place in the hands of the peo
pie the power of enacting laws upon
their own initiative and repeating any
Objectionable law which may be pass.
ed by a poration-controlled state
Legislature is tie object Of the Ida
no Direct Legislation League This
may be done through the enactment
of the initiative and referendum.
The Initiative law of Oregon pro-
vides that when eight per cent of the
voters of the state sign petition to
propose any law or amendment to the
constitution, and deposit such petit
tion with the secretary of state not
less than four months before the fol-
lowing election, such proposed act
must be referred to vote of the
electors at the next election, and If
endorsed by majority of those vot-
ing thereon it becomes law.
The Referendum law of Oregon
as adopted in 1902, provides in sub
stance that when five per cent of the
voters of the state petition that law
passed by the legislature mot neces-
sary for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health or safety
shall be referred to the voters at the
next election, and deposit such petf-
ton with the secretary of state within
ninety days of the end of the session
of the legislature at which such bill
was passed, the bill thus challenged
must be put to vote of the electors,
and only becomes effective If approx
ed by majority of those voting there
on.
The constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the initiative and referen-
dunn in Oregon was passed by a ma
jority of $685. votes, only 5,66S bal
lots being cast against the measure
and 1t has since been sustained by
the highest court of that state.
Among the reforms which the Oregon
ians have been able to secure through
the operation of this law the follow
ing may be cited. An act providing
for the initiative and referendum on
municipal laws, regulating the dis
tribution of the state printing, requir-
ing certain public service corporations
to pay an annual license on their
gross earnings, prohibiting free pass
es, permitting the recall of any pub
lie official who has been unfaithful to
his trust, providing for the popular
election of U. S. senators, limiting
election expenditures and other wise
providing against corrupt practice. 1t
may also be noted in this connection
that the Local Option Law" of Ore
gon was enacted through the initia
tive and referendum. A campaign has
been outlined by the officers of the
'Tdaho Direct Legislation League"
which will force all successful can
didates for the state legislature to
vote for constitutional amendment
similar to the one enacted by our
sister state of Oregon.
