reasons for the Richfield optimist.
Richfield has a good enough fu-
ture for any one but the toil-hard
ened millionaire who bathes in CO.

and who wrecks a railroad or robs
a savings bank of million before
breakfast every morning just for
a tonic to start the day right. OF

such luxuries as these, if we had to
but we won't We'd rather go
out and see the cars and the grain

the sun rises and the silver moon
and the magnificent snow-clad peaks
of the Sawtooth range-these are
things more worth while. These

too, by persuading other people to
help them carry out these dreams
But the real optimist who wants
to make good to himself as well as
to his neighbors. ought to come to
Richfield. He won't ever have to
apologize for his optimism, here.
Why?
Well, there are a lot of reasons,
past, present.. and to come. The
best of the past is the ten thousand
years every year a season that
have been piling up fertility in the
soil here, on one of the finest grass
ranges in Southern Idaho. AS a
rule, the sage brush, arid soils are
deficient in humus, OF vegetable
growth; this must be supplied by
alfalfa, or some other cultivated
crop, either by plowing under or by
cultivation, before the soil can be
ready for really profitable use. Here
the soil has more humus than al
most any other sage brush tract in
the state.

The construction of the greater
Twin Falls-Bruneau project for the
reclamation of 100000 acres of land
in Owyhee county is assured, as
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by Fred A. Voight before
the state land board, and negot-
iations for a final contract between
the state and company will be taken
up within the next few weeks. The
undertaking will be the greatest Ia
the history of irrigation and will
mean the expenditure of more than
s20,000,000 in Idaho.
The decision of F. H. Bull of
Sharon, Pa. and his associates, who
have been figuring on the gigantic
project for more than two years, to
go ahead with the work, also in
sures the construction of the ex-
tension of the Minidoka branch of
the Oregon Short Line from Bull
to Nyssa, passing through the very
heart of the tract to be created.
Mr.. Voight's announcement to the
land board was made by him as
the Idaho representative of Mr..
Buhl, the pioneer irrigation pro-
ject builder, who financed the orig
inal Twin Falls project, known as
the "south side.

In really great address before the
senate on an income tax bill Senator
Borah laid down the principles for such
needed legislation. incidentally he hit
hit pretty hard at Governor Hughes of
New York, including him by infer
ence among those who profess to be
in favor of an income tax but op-
posed practical measures which
would permit it's enforcement. His
allusion was of course to Govern
or Hughes annual message to the
New York state legislature urging
defeat of the proposed amendment
on the ground that its language
might be so constructed as to au
thorize congress to tax incomes de-
rived from state municipal bonds.
Senator Borah pictured the mind
of the public as in state Of sus-
picion and discomfort toward the
government, and declared that the
people could not much longer be
withheld from radical action II tax

of wealth and in exemption of ''in-

breed idleness and idiocy"
The senator said in substance:
The history of the income tax

any citizen can recite with pride.
