THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Display is edacious of salary. The
love of luxuries and extravaganza are
responsible for the high cost of living
AS James ]. Hill says the high cost of
is evident on every hand. The standard
of living of the American people is
high and consequently they have to pay
a high price. We would not lower the
standard, but we would cease com
planning about it. The actual necessi-
ties of life have not increased IL per
cent during the past ten years while
labor's wage has increased at least 33
1-3 per cent Labor is not saving the
difference between its increase in wage
and the increase in the cost of necessi-
ties, but it is better fed, better clothed
and better housed The balance in the
bank has not increased proportionately
but the daily pleasures have materially
increased. We have put our earnings
into comforts and conveniences and
sorroWfully contemplate our cash saw
ings. 1t is the old maxim that you can
not eat your pie and keep it too. The
most unobserVant person can look
about him and account for a goodly
amount of his increased expenses. In
Caldwell We now have paved streets,
cement sidewalks, city water, sewers
and electric lights, The first four items
mean higher rent and higher taxes;
the fifth greater pleasure and safety at
"a greater cost. We have telephones
and city mail delivery, each of which
adds to the cost of living. Today every
one insists on porterhouse steak, and
as critters have not been developed
entirely given to porterhouse, their cost
has advanced 1t is the same with gro
ceries. The actual cost of groceries
has advanced but very little, but there
Is big advance in the cost to the con-
sumer Ten wears ago you bought a
pound of currants at the grocery store
The grocer pulled out his scoop, dug
into his bin and handed you the cur
rants in paper sack. Today you buy
a pound of eurrants done up in a nice
bcX, enwrapped in tissue paper and
tied up with blue ribbon. Instead of
CARRYING the cnrrants home in your
bend it is delivered by automobile. II
IS the neat boxes. blue ribbons and
automobiles that nave made your cur
rants cost more. It is THE same with
everything else in the line of groceries

THE SHORT LINE SPECIAL.

The special Farmers Industrial and
Educational train will arrive in Cald-
well on the 18th inst It will remain
one hour and then proceed to Notus,
Parma, Nyssa, Ontario, Payette, Wei
ser and Huntington. The train will
leave Boise and go as far as Hunting
ton stopping at each point from 30
minutes to an hour and a half. We
suppose that we are entitled to no par
ticular kick. If the Oregon Short Line
wants to run an educational train
without stopping at all it has that PRIV
ilege. But we would like to know the
particular object the Short Line has in
view in running this train at all. We
would like to know exactly what II
hopes to accomplish at Nyssa where
the train will stop 80 minutes provid
ing everything goes according to sched
ule. An half hour is very short time
to teach anyone anything. Even an
hour is too short and might Just as well
be thrown away. We do not question
the good intentions of the railroad Off
Gals. The work they are engaged in
is commendable and worthy of great
praise, but we would suggest that the
train be run from Pocatello to Hum
tington without stop. BY doing this
the farmers of these two towns would
have an opportunity of learning some
thing.

nine boxes, and furnished a bed for the
cat at night Now they are tied up IN
twenty cent packages, two dozen
crackers to the package, clean and
sanitary, but the cost is greater. In
wears gone by a corncob pipe was SUI
ficient to sooth the nerves; now, the
man who smokes a nickel cigar is
piker and he who buys three far
quarter a cheap skate. So it goes.
The Tribune has no desire to go back
to the days of the cob pipe, when the
cat was ensconced in the cracker box
and you carried home sack of pota-
toes on your back. The American peo-
pie are entitled to a full measure OF
luxuries, comforts and cenveniences.
We would not deny them solitary
pleasure We would not take away
their city halls, fine churches, paved
streets, electric lights, tissue paper and
blue ribbons. We would not deprive
them of automobiles, carriages and
servants, fine livery and red feathers.
We would not turn back the hand OF
time; we would not attempt to change
our present condition and standard of
living. We would simply forget the cost
or else regulate our own lives and hab-
its so as to enable us to invest in de-
post slips rather than in daily com
forts.
] He who so desires can save more
money today from his daily wage than
he ever could before. The advance in
wages has been greater than the ad-
vance in any commodity. The differ
ence can be saved or it can be used tC
make life more pleasant. The great
majority of the people have decided to
use their increased earnings for the
latter purpose. We believe they are
wise in spending their money, but they
are foolish to kick about it, The time
will never come when the wage Garner
can live as we'll as the wealthy. The
time has come when the wage Garner
is living better than did kings of few
score years ago. A man can buy more
pleasure, comfort, and convenience
now for a days wage than he ever
could That he is buying it is not
the fault of the tariff, Joe Cannon or
the times.

SHOULD MAKE NO APPROPRI-
ALTON

OF vast Importance to the future of
Idaho is the matter of presenting
properly to the world the advantages
the state has to offer. For the purpose
of prosecuting this work there has
wisely been instituted the office of
immigration commissioner. The duties
of the office cover a wide range, which
however, may be in finarity summed
up in few words as being to bring
about the settlement in this state of a
class of settlers to whom the oppor-
tunities here presented may appeal.
The office of commissioner of immi-
grafton is one that lends itself to a
wide latitude of effort bounded only
by the versatility of it's incumbent. In
this respect the position is unique. No
other public trust in the state pos
sesses this latitude to an extent as does
the office referred to. Virtually the
immigration commissioner is the
states advertising agent. Not only
should he be possessed of some knowl-
edge of the art of community adyer-
Using, but he should be possessed of a
natural resourcefulness that would
render him quick to recognize the ad-
Yertising value of each days happen
ings and teach him how instantly to
avail himself on the states behalf of
the opportunities presented.
Having secured such a man the i'm
portance of his work demands that he
receive most liberal appropriation for
its prosecution. Fifty thousand dollars
year to advertise a state is not a cent
too much. There are hundreds of
cities that spend twice the amount
mentioned each year and consider the
money well invested
We hope the legislature will take
the matter up and give the subject the
attention its Importance deserves.

1.-THE foregoing from the Caldwell |
News would, undoubtedly, express
the opinion of the people OF this
state, if it were not for the fact that
the governor has seen fit to turn the
office of immigration commissioner
over to the Mormon church in pay
ment for its political support. If
mann of commanding ability had been
appointed to this position, and he
were unhampered by church, the tax
payers would be willing that $4,000
be expended in the next two years in
advertising the resources of Idaho
They will not take kindly to an APP !

preparation of $4,000 when the money
is to be spent by member of an or
ganization which has discouraged the
settlement of Idaho for 40 years They
will unwi ,lingly see such sum spent by
a man of mediocre ability, no reputa-
ton and less energy. I Sam Rich is
no more qualified to conduct pub
licity campaign than he is to be JUS
tice OF the supreme court. He is not
bad sort of fellow personally, and
that is all you can say for him. If
the legislature would make no appro-
priation for the bureau this year, the
general public would approve

THE FUTURE OF CALDWELL.

In all seriousness, the outlook for
the future of Caldwell is brighter than
it ever has been Everything we have
had any right to expect seems about
to materialze. The reclamation of
the arid land around this city; the
irrigation of land further away but
tributary to Caldwell railroad tap
ping the rich, virgin territory to the
south and west Of us; electric lines
making Caldwell the center of a rich
and growing empire all these things
are about to be realized. When we
say about to be realized we mean it is
only a question of time The United
States is irreyocably committed to
the completion of the Payette- Boise
reclamation project, Congress au-
thorized the issuance of bonds; Presi-
dent Taft and Secretary Ballinger
guided by the recommendations OF
the army engineers, have allotted the
funds to this project And the en-
gineer in charge, Mr.. Hannah, has de
finitely fixed the year when the pro
ject will be completed. Unless cal
amity and disaster, overwhelming,
await the United States two years
more will lsee the completion of the
enterprise. On the north OF us the
organization of the Black Canyon Ir-
rigation district is a great step for
ward. There events are moving as
rapidly as an undertaking of that size
and character can move. If financial
matters throughout the country ar
at all satisfactory, the bond issue for
the reclamation of the land embraced
within the district will be floated
without difficulty. The Black Can
yon district comprehends the mos
valuable tract of unirrigated land in
the northwest, The project is prac
tical and will certainly succeed. T
the west and southwest of us are the
Gem Irrigation district and the Id.
gon Cary projects. The progress i
both Of these has been most satisfae
tory, The Gem district is assured
Of power plant as capitalists are
willing TO take its bonds at par for
the entire equipment fully installed.
Bonds for the construction of the
gravity system will be floated with
htte trouble. The affairs of the
ldagon enterprise are in a most prom
Using condition. Sufficient capital
has been interested to make the pro-
Ject success. The reclamation OF
our arid land is certin within the next
five years. Ths arid land within
radius of 20 miles Of Caldwell is an
empire within itself.

FOR COUNTY PHYSICIAN

The county commissioners will be
called upon to appoint county phys
ician at this session of the board. For
two years DR.. J. w. Cue has served
in that capacity, and we believe, with
general satisfaction. The expenses
under his administration have been
less than ever before and the health
and welfare of the community have
not been neglected. The commission
ers would do we'll to reappoint DIR.
Cue. If promtitude in service; fl
deity to his trust attention to duty,
and reason in expense are commend
able features in public officials, then
the county can ill afford to make any
changes.

AN IDEA OR TWO WORTH
WHILE

The Commercial Club of Caldwell
is starting on a new year. New
committees are to be appointed and a
new set of officers will soon be in
charge. 1t might be a good idea to
let in few new men. The ideas ex-
pressed by DR.. A. F. Isham on an
other page of this issue viii be found
of value if seriously considered. DIR.
Isham expresses the thought that has
been in the minds of good many for
great while. A great many Cald
we'll business men are possessed of
the idea that the commercial club il
controlled by small clique consist
ing of E. H. P,owhead, B. H. Holt,
J. B. Gowen, H. d. Andrews, Henry
Dormar E. A. Clark, c. S. Doan and
two or three others. They NATURALLY
conclude that these gentlemen are
manipulating the affairs of the club
in the promotion Of their own pecul-
lar interests. The Tribune never
thought much of the ring ideas. The
ring, in politics, church or society, is
composed of the men who really do
things. Active men naturally draw
toward each other. If anything is to
be done one or two of the gentlemen
named above take the initiative be-
cause they have force, ability and
leadership. They work in harmony
because they see what is needed, know
how to accomplish and are willing to
work We do not believe that there
has ever been time in the history of
the club when any effort was put for
ward to discourage, frown down or
hinder anyone. We believe that the
members of the so-called ring were
ever ready to welcome new men.
However, some of our fellow-citizens
are timid and unwilling to push them
selves forward. They would be will
ling, and are even anxious to work,
but they do not know how or when
to start They hesitate about ex-
pressing their opinion and many a
valuable suggestion is thereby lost
An old guard is apt to become OBJ
sessed with the idea that its members
alone possess, ability, willingness and
energy. In fact. it is hard for an old
guard to overcome its own esteem and
prepossession. 1t grows to be stuck
on itself We do not believe that the
old guard wants to get into this ha-
bit of mind 1t does so unconscious
ly.
DR.. Isham advances the idea that the
real doors of things can afford to
keep in the background That new
men, or at least different men, should
be placed in positions of prominence
and responsibility. AS he says, the
limelight should be turned on other
once in a while. Its a good idea
The limelight can be distributed with
out cost to anybody. 1t might as
well touch them all at one
time or another during the year. Get
the outsiders in; the little fellows in
terested: Extend and enlarge the
ring DR.. Isham's views are we'll
worth considering, Such an mex
pensive innovation should be tried at
once.
