Representative men of Blackfoot
got down to brass tacks" Wednes-
day evening on the subject of mea-
sles and there was packed house at
the City Hall on account of joint
meeting of the city council the school
board and representatives of the coun-
ty government.
The epidemic of measles which
has been steadily gaining ground for.
some time, was discussed in free
for-all two hours session with the
widest range of ideas, varying from
the men who stand for the strictest
quarantine of persons who have
been exposed, to these who take the
view that all children must have
the measles at some time and that
they might as well have them at one
time as another This idea was car
ried to its most radical conclusion
also by those who suggested that if
this theory we're correct it might be
we'll to have the quarantine officer
turned into a vaccination dispenser
and see that everybody of "measle-
able age was vaccinated with the
virus of measles so they could get
through with it and count having
had it as an asset instead of thing
to be dreaded.
OF course people differed on these
matters and after running the gaunt-
let of free speech in which nobody
spared any other mans views, men
did what Blackfoot people are no
ted for doing-get down to "brass-
tacks" and looked for common
ground on which it was safe and
sane to meet each other and agree
upon course of action.
They were guided somewhat in
their decision by the counsel of DR..
Mitchell and DR.. Patrie who stated
that measles take a more severe form
at some times than at others, and
that the present epidemic in Black
foot has many cases of extreme sew
Gritty. That they do not fear the
measles SO much as the things that
follow as the sequel to the measles
Group, scarlet fever, pneumonia,
consumption and other troubles that
find ready lodgment. in the system.
That some people have measles two
and even three times, and that the
laws and rules pertaining to quar-
antine of measles are so drawn as to
give the widest latitude for handling
them. That in cases where the epi-
demic becomes severe and difficult
to control, the quarantine may be
made as drastic as for smallpox and
scarlet fever or any other disease
which is liable to develop or follow
measles.
At the close of the meeting, May
or Capps rang UP DR.. Falk, secretary
of the state board of health who con-
firmed the decision already reached,
and strict quarantine will be en-
forced accordingly.
Citizens are instructed that cri-
sis has been reached that requires
individual sacrifice, and those who
were not at the meeting to take part
in, or hear the discussion, are re-
quested to bend their wishes to the
decision reached in the meeting, and
whether 1t conforms to their views
or not, yield all differences, for thel
general good, and observe every
g.

order of the quarantine officers
cease visiting and having parties that
may in any way complicate matters,
do their best to make the quaran-
tine effective and the troubles of
the officers lighter.
The present is no time for argument
of differences. Take your orders
and obey them whether it suits you
or. not That is the best of good
citizenship at this time.

TWO MEN IN
FIGHT AT FIRTH
Landon Uses a Bucket
Manning Pays Another Fine. Parr
Dnnss and Smashes Furnit-
ure. BechthoIt in Jail.

Robert Manning who was announ-
ced last week as having paid tine
to Justice Crouch at Moreland in an
alleged effort to head off the prose-
cution, was dealt with in the pro-
hate court. His five dollars was re-
turned to him and he was fined $40
for the offense.
Raised Caine AT Home.
Emanuel Parr who lives at Firth
or near there, was brought before
probate Judge Jensen charged with
getting drunk and disturbing the
peace and quiet of his own home He
is said to have broken some furniture
and acted like wild man, and he
was given 80 days in Jail.
Swatted With A Bucket
Two men living near Firth had a
fight and told the same story about
it to the prosecuting attorney. The
story goes that Delbert Brisco had
some dealings with JOS Landon and
claimed shortage on hay purchas-
ed. He went to Mr.. Landon's house
to talk to him about it, and Landon
sitting in the presence of his family
became offensive in his expressions
about it. Brisco invited Landon to
go outside with him and settle mat
ters, and as Bristo started to go out,
Landon smashed a coal scuttle over
his head Bristo came back, and the
faces they brou ght to court showed
that they had been in a fight. Mrs.
Landon and hired man who were
in the house corroberated the story
told bp~the -aenebatants, and there
was a complaint lodged against Bris-
to bv his hos of tho occasion. it had
to be disposed of, Bristo decided to
plead guilty to whatever the com
plant said and take the quickest
, way out of an unfortunate predioa-
ment. The costs were $500 and he
was bet off with payment of that
amount. Landon started the often
sive language it seems, Bristo sug-
gested "going outside" and Iandon
attacked his guest and attacked him
in the rear during the momentarv
truce agreed upo nfor the moving
of the troops,'
Bristo did not file any complaint
against Landon so none of the in
demnity was assessed to him.
Wron@ed Little Girl.
VIM. Bechtholt was brought up
from Aberdeen Thursday evening
charged with wronging a little maid
en- then threatening cruelty If she
informed against him. The evidence
indicates that she kept the secret
for several months and when she
considered herself safe from his pow
er she told her mother and he is
now in the Blackfoot Jail awaiting
trial at the district court. His bond
was fixed at $4,000.

LOANS
FROM NATION
Senator Edsinston's Bill
Proposes a National Farm Loan
Banking Department to Re-
duce Cost Of Living.

Senator Geo. W. Edgington, joint
senator from Bingham and Bonne-
vile counties, has introduced the fol-
lowing resolution in the Idaho legis-
lature. a.
To the Honorable the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States, in Congress as
embed
Your memorialists, the Legislature
of the State of Idaho, respectfully
represents:
That whereas, agriculture in its
various forms is the basis of our ma
tional prosperity;
And whereas, as clearly shown by
President Taft's letter of October
18th, 1912, directed to the governors
of the various states of the Union,
there are over tweleve million farm
ers in the United States who raise
crops each year of the aggregate val7
ue of $S,4OO, 100000 and are oper-
ating upon borrowed capital of$6,-
! Q4Q, 100000 on which yearly interest
| IN the amount of $510,000,0O0 is
paid, the average rate of interest,
including commissions anu renewals
charges being about SK percent per
annum as against percent or4-
/ u percent upon loans of this charac
ter in Europe;
And Whereas, this economic waste
is due to the difficulties surrounding
the farmer in borrowing money to
pay part of the purchase price of his
holdings, or improve his land after
its acquisition:
And whereas, in both Germany
and France, as we'll as other coun-
tries of continental Europe. sys-
TEN Of rural banks has been organ
lied whose object it is to grant loans
in the interest of agriculture and that
the experience of half century of
operation of this class of banks has
demonstrated the benefits derived
therefrom by persons engaged in agri
cultural pursuits and the soundness
of the underlying principles upon
whic hsuch banks are founded;
And Whereas, in our judgment
this system of banking could be ap-
piled in the United States to the
great advantage of our people en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits by les
sening the difficulties of borrowing
money at low rate of interest and
would enable prices to be lowered to
the consumer and thus benefit all Of
our people,:
And Whereas, in order to insure
the economical and honest conduct
of institutions of this kind, to give
proper understanding of their meth
ods and the proper standing to their
debentures national as well as state
legislation is needed;
Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved,
that the Congress of the United
States be requested to enact such
laws as will permit the organization
of national land mortgage banks
with such privileges only as will nee
essarily pertain to their effectiveness
and the security of those with them
and SO guarded and strictly supervis-
ed as to protect alike the stockhold-
ers and the customers of such banks
with power to guarantee and market
guaranteed debenture bonds of
State Mortgage Banks or cooperative
credit associations; with such limita-
tions and restrictions as will insure
practical uniformity in the laws of
the several states in the matter of
establishing and carrying on Rural
Credit banks and similar associations.
