The formation of deciduous Pro-
tective league throughout the fruit
section of the northwest, is likely
to result from conference of fruit
growers held at Spokane during the
apple show. A demand for such an
organization comes from the negll-
gence among some in spraying their
trees. and otherwise contributing tc
the spread of the various fruit pests
The purpose of the league will b'
to stamp out these fruit pests by
adopting all honorable means by
legislation or experiments, to BRING
about this desired result. The new
orchards fast coming into bearing
on this tract, need especial attention
at this time and the owners shoul'
welcome any organization that ha
for its object the better protectio
of the fruit industry.

ABOUT THE BONDS.

To the Voters and Taxpayers OF Jerome:
AS member OF the Village Board and
citizen OF Jerome, | wish to say few
words regarding the issue Of $1,000 Vii
lage bonds which is to be voted upon
Dec. 22nd.
These bonds are required to take up
the warrants issued for the construction
OF the present crosswalks and street in
tersections which are permanent i'm
provement that We have had the benefit
OF .for some time.
A bond issue was voted for this pur-
pose last winter and the bonds sold. The
board naturally expected to have taken
up these warrants with the proceeds but
when the money became available, we
were advised by the village attorneys
that it could not be used for that pur-
pose.
At the time the bonds were voted the
only statute under which the election
could be held was one permitting muni-
cipalities to issue bonds for street i'm
provement hence the election was called
to vote bonds for Street Improvement
although it was understood by everybody
that the proceeds OF the bonds were tC
be used in paying the warrants ISSUED
for crosswalks and street intersections
The opinion OF the village attorney
was that the money could only be useC
for the purpose for which it was voted
, namely 'Street Improvement
In the meantime the last legislator
enacted a statute specifically providin
that municipalities may issue bonds 10
the construction of crosswalks and inter
sections, which act in itself strengthen
: the opinion of the attorneys that cross
. walks and intersections cannot be cor
sidered street improvement.
The attorneys further advised ths
should We pay this money for the pul
pose of taking up the crosswalk warran
5 we would be personally liable, an
e should we order the village treasurer
do SO the bonding company would witt
draw his bond In view OF these fac
the writer would be slow to believe tn
: any citizen OF Jerome would desire the
g representatives to take any action tn
s their attorneys pronounced illegal, q
though there has been some criticism {

tempt of the Great Shoshone K
Twin Falls Water Power company
to prevent the entrance of its rival,
the Idaho Power and Light COM
pany, will be successful. Accord
ing to the power taken unto itself
the wonderful Idaho commission
declares that it can also stop com
petition in public utilities. A deci-
sion in a power war in the city Of
st. Anthony was decided in favor
Of the company in the feld-the
commission refusing to concede the
right of the city to grant another
franchise. If such is the case it is
high time that the Haines regime
and its public utilities commission
be voted out Of office. In the first
place the people Of any city are en-
titled to competition in electric light
and power just the same as any
other commodity and the ruling OF
the commission will arouse enough
public sentiment to eventually sweep
the political commission out ano
demand partisan board ano
Just law. Twin Falls has paid
higher rate than it should for
number Of years and if the politlca
board is going to shut out competi
ton it should be just enough t.
make the company holding mono
poly meet competitive rates. Their
is no reason why Boise, Goodln
and several other cities should hav
a much lower lighting rate than TIN
city which does not have the rlgh
to bring in competition according t
the political commission making tn
: St. Anthony decision as preceder
for the whole state"

According to call issued by Go

According to a call issued by Gov
ernor Haines, the assessors OF the
state will meet in Boise December
l6 for a conference of three days III
conjunction with the annual con-
yention of county commissioners,
which will be held in Boise. The
members of the state tax commits
sion have sanctioned the calling ol
the assessors to meet with the gov
ernor and the county commission
ers and it is probable that importan
issues will provide principal topi'
for discussion.

1t would seem from the Oregonian
that Idaho is not alone in its cry OF
increased taxes, as tnat paper states
that the taxes in the city of Port
land will be 80 per cent higher than
they were last year.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Thanksgiving dinner was the
most expensive meal the average
American has eaten in the last 25
years, says a Washington dispatch.
1t cost from 80 to 100 per cent more
than it did 10 years ago and from
Is to 80 per cent more than any
Thanksgiving day in the last six
years. according to Government
statistics.
Thousands Of turkeys spoiled by
having been shipped to market in
the unseasonably warm spell which
overspread the country week ago;
the drought Of last Summer which
shortened crop yields, particularly
white potatoes an alleged cold-stor-
age combination, which Attorney
General McReynolds is now investi-
eating to find if millions OF dozens
Of eggs and millions of pounds OF
daily products have been withheld
from the market by middlemen to
force high prices, and the steady
soaring of prices generally in the
last decade, are among the contrib
uting causes to which economist
point.
The great American hen, how
ever, is somewhat responsible To-
the extraordinary price OF eggs ac
cording to Department OF Agrlcul
ture officials, who are reluctant L
place all the blame on cold-sto-ag
men. Heat and drought Of the las
Summer, they say, caused the hen
to stop laying sooner than usual.
AS to turkey, the rise in price
seems to have extended all aion
the route to the consumer, beglr
ming at the barnyard, where III
farmer received an average OF |
cents a pound for his birds-abo'
a half cent more than he receive
last year. Turkey is not Thank
giving bird at all, according to u
experts.
The family which turns fro
turkey to chicken, pork or beei WI
find prices uniformly advance'
Hens show an average increase oi
cents a pound, pork 2 to 8 cent
rib roast 2 to 10 cents, sweet pot
toes are about the same price as Ia
year, but the white potato crop
100000, 900 bushels below last we
and dangerous plant diseases abro
which have checked importatio
have forced an increase in price.
Apples, oranges and grapes a
scarce because of short crops. Ora
berries, with a normal crop, ar'
little higher than last year. FLO
and sugar are uniformly cheal
and butter shows comparatively
advance. q,
Eggs, however, from incompl
returns dated November 10 fr'
the principal cities show increa
ranging from 3 to "a cents do'
over last years prices.

Congressman Addison Smith has

gress providing for the extermina-
ton Of jack rabbits, ground squirrels
and prairie dogs:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Con-
gress assembled, That the Secretary

cheapest and most practical method
of exterminating jack rabbits, ground
squirrels and prairie dogs, ,and Other
rodents injurious to growing crop:
and native grasses, and that the
sum Of $40, 200 is hereby appropri
ated, to be expended under the di
rection of the Secretary of Agrlcul
ture for conducting experiment

From present indications it would
appear that Mr.. l.. C. Jones Of
Gooding, has fair chance of being
appointed United States Marshal for
Idaho. Nothing would please the
democrats of this section more than
to see Mr.. Jones installed into this
important office. Roy has always
been a faithful worker in the cause
of democracy, and in addition tc
this he has the qualifications that
eminently fits him for this position
having demonstrated these while
filling the office Of Sheriff OF Lincoln
county. If party fealty and quail
fications are the essentials for ap
pointment, then the administration
need not look further for man t.
| fill this office.
