THE COMMERCIAL CLUE.

In a communication publisher in
the last issue of the Tribune, Presi-
deut w. H. Redway stated the rea-
sons for the small publicity fund
raised by the Commercial club for
The year 1911-12. The Tribuna has
10 desire to enter into controversy
with Mr.. Redway, the Commercial
Club or the public-spirited people of
Caldwell. They are all entitled to
hearty congratulations on the many
good things accOmplished-accom-
plished for the community. Since
it's birth, when Mr.. J. f. Herr was
secretary the Commercial Club has
ever been alive to the best interests
of Caldwell and the country imme-
diately surrounding the town. Oh
late years it has not deprecated in
usefulness. It's functions have beer
enlarged; its duties have been In
creased and its accomplishments
have been augmented. 1t has grown
with the growth of the town. W.
look forward to years of continued
growth.
This, however, is beside the ques
ton. The publicity, general utility
would be a more appropriate name
fund has dwindled to a whisper
The amount of money raised las
year was not too much to have e1
pended this year. If a saving ca
be made in salaries paid and in ad
vertising, the saving should hav
been expended in other much needle
improvements. There Is no one VII
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-09-08

denies the fact that there is oppor-
tunity to spend seven or eight thou
sand dollars a year in promoting the
general welfare of Caldwell. Cald-
we'll should spend at least five thou
sand dollars in advertising. Today
we have at our command the office
force and publicity department OF
the Union Pacific Railway Co., and
we are so poverty stricken that we
cannot even furnish sufficient
amount of creditable literature.
There Is no use in denying the
charge. Caldwell is joke when 1t
comes to the publicity end of the
program. The money that we save
in one way should be expended IN
another. Publicity to induce immi-
grafton does not greatly appeal to
the Tribune. Publicity that would
induce capital to come here for In
yestment is more to our notion OF
the needs of the country. But even
if all publicity were cut out, and a
great many people favor such a
policy, there is opportunity to spend
seven or eight thousand dollars right
at home. There are many things to
be done which cannot be reached IN
the usual methods. A thousand dol
lars spent in cleaning up Caldwell
would not be bad investment. A
good road or two would not come
amiss. And the city Of Caldwell
might celebrate the Fourth Of July
every fifteen or twenty years without
detriment to the welfare of the peo-
pie. Indeed, there are a great many
things Caldwell might do.
But since we are embarked on the
good ship Economy" let it wen
as it looks. We realize that the
people are overburdened. They vii
never be otherwise. A heavy burden
is the best thing that a people or
} man ever had vouchsafed him. i

, what ails the average man.
The Commercial Club is doing 1T
, best. Let it prosper. When thu

pleted and accepted by the engineers.
The contract seems to be fair in
every particular. There is no doubt
but that it will be carried out to
the letter by all concerned.
The Tribune extends its heartiest
congratulations to the promoters of
the district; the people owning land
and living in the district and to the
people of Caldwell. The inaugura-
ton of this project is a big step in
the advancement and development
of this section of Idaho. In Idaho
we are accustomed to think in
large figures when talking of irriga-
ton projects. Forty thousand
acres do not seem much. j. 1t should
be remembered that the Pioneer IT.
rigation District comprehends an
area of only 10000 acres and
supports population of easily 49,
900 people, and is capable of sup
porting a population of $4,000 peo-
pie. Forty thousand acres is a
great deal larger than the figures
sound to ears accustomed to hear
ing of projects running into hun
dreds of thousands of acres.
