Checks and Bank Notes
That Speak

Making checks or bank notes that are
capable OF speaking is one of the latest
precautions against forgery that has been
invented. The note is given the power
of utterance by applying to its edge a
'pictorial" record OF preforations repre-
senting some prearranged phrase. When
the prepared note is placed in a phono-
graph the phrase is reproduced in the
presence of the person who has ques-
toned the genuineness of the note From

zine.

| ing that the directors would pay no
attention to those resolution" Only
one logical conclusion can be reached,
i. e., that they were afraid to allow
the stockholders at large to obtain
those addresses for fear that proxies
might be secured thereby, that might
be the means of assisting to elect a
board of directors unfavorable to
them, and in that way might cause
, them TO lose their positions and the
salaries pertaining thereto; for since
the last legislature passed law for
the relief of the settlers upon this
tract in particular, prohibiting en-
ployes from voting proxies, their
means of securing proxies by the aid
of ditch riders has been somewhat
handicapped
Are people who are ready to place

While many papers agree with the
Baltimore Sun (Dem.) that this is "a
pretty fair program, all in ALL" others
hasten to indicate it's weak points.
Thus the New York Times Qnd.) and
World, the Brooklyn Eagle, and the
Boston Advertiser (RepD are as ore
in objecting to the suggestion that
there shall be presumption that all
restraints of trade are unreasonable,
placing the burden of establishing the
reasonableness of such restraint upon
the party alleging it, Says the Eagle:
1--WE can only note that the Sherman
law, which is to be retained, is in part
criminal law, and that all iurispru-
dence recognizes the need of defining
closely what a crime or misdemeanor
is. The plan to assume that any re-
straint of trade which means any
business contract, is criminal, and
make the accused person prove that 1t
is not criminal, runs counter to our
ideas of justice. Proving a negative is
difficult or impossible. 1t is for prose-
cutors to prove that the conditions in
volving criminality exist"
1t is Mr.. Redfield's program of in
vestigation that seems specially OBJ
jectionable to the New York Journal
of Commerce Conn.,, which charac-
terizes his suggestions in this line as
impossible and absurd" This paper
goes on to say:
1T has been noted by some curious
minds that the present cost of federal
administration is about one-fifth the
total crop yield of the United States.
That is a startling comparison, but one
that would be of little importance
were there real results to be shown
for the money spent. In fact, the fed
eral government, in spite of it's vaunt-
ed power of 'unselfish' direction of
business, gets less per dollar laid out
than any other organization. For its
outlay on commissions and investiga-
tons, it gets least of ALL The enor-
nous sums spent in such work are alb
solutely wasted for the most part.
Such OUTLAWS as are recommended by
Mr.. Redfield and others would be SIM
ply ridiculous and would result in no
possible good"
On the other hand, his investigation
proposals are applauded by the New
York Times, and The World is con-
WINGED that there is need of legisla-
ton prohibiting interlocking direct
crates and the emission of swindling
issues of stocks and bonds. Literary

The passage of the Glass-Owens
currency bill by the two houses will
mark new era in the financial circles
of this country Just what it will do
for the curtailment of our national
panics remains as a part of the future.
Most banks and bankers, while hasten
ing to get in on the reserve bank
bonds, shake their heads over the out
come. The laymen look forward with
the hope that the concentration of
wealth in New York is thing of the
past. The newspapers of the west are
sanguine that the new law will mean
more capital for the development of
western resources and corresponding
growth of population in every western
state. The features of the new law
which seems most doubtful is that of
the directorate in the reserve banks
being placed in the power of the dom
inant party. While the objections to
the bill may seem valid yet there is
the strong hope that the experiment
(Which it really isl will prove better
than the past system. At any rate the
awe with which the laymen regard
tinkering with the currency is fast dis
appearing and there remains the idea
that even the bad features may be cas-
lily remedied at no distant future.

other priority of about 200 feet through
neglect, in case an exact parallel to
ours, naturally leads me to think of
these questions, and | see but two OBJ
| stacles in the way of our obtaining it,
| Harlan and Taylor; for as one di-
rector recently stated it was practic-
| ally impossible to obtain any action
of the board of opposed by them. Last
fall learned of an experimental farm
to be conducted by Don Bark, and at
| tended the meeting when the subject
was considered. Not being satisfied
with the result of observations taken
| from the work of practical farmers,
the board decided to pay part of the
| expense of conducting experiments
upon twenty acres of choice land. AS
is well known, with good land, and in
tense cultivation regardless of cost,
| it is possible to show some startling
results with but very little water; but
can any farmer afford to cultivate his
land in that manner? And how about
the fellow on the thin soil?
| Mr.. Bowen cautioned the board, re-
garding this point and as we are well
| aware, the result of these experiments
will figure later in determining the
amount of water we will be allowed
per acre, and if it is shown that we
need less water per acre, the Bruneau
promoters will profit millions there
by but we will pay for the music
But recently another matter has
been thrust into the limelight by the
board, the seepage questionable most
dangerous of them all,-not in itself
for all large tracts sooner or later de-
velop seepage spots that need thing
but for the reason that if the people
are frightened into believing that this
is caused by too much irrigation water,
then other important matters may be
overlooked.
AS matter of fact some land is des-
tined in time, because of the character
of the subsoil, etc, to either be tiled
or be ruined by seepage, even though
other parts of the tract are burning
up Investigate other older tracts for
proof of this.
After considering the above facts,
can any other conclusion be reached
than that if the present management
continues, we will some day find our
water rights materially reduced?
An according to Mr. Harlan's esti-
mate, it will be one-fifth, or to forty
inches per eighty acres, and to less if
we lose the state land suit. Why does
he take this position on this question?
His staunch supporters claim that he
is too honorable and upright to do
anything that would injure us; let us
see. Last January the stockholders
voted that ninety days before their
next meeting, the secretary should pre-
pare lists of the absentee stockholders,
to be left at some convenient place in
each town upon the tract that had
hank. This was not done. Mr.. Taylor

no time to spare. Yet / have been
since informed that this same office
force, while before, had furnished a
list of stockholders to a loan company
for forty dollars.
Copies from this list would have suf-
feed, and would have been made by
almost any office girl for few dol
lars. Why was it not done?
Did Mr.. Harlan approve of this omis-
sion?
One of our prominent stockholders
informed me that Mr. Harlan had told

The question bridging the Snake
river at Shoshone falls seems to have
struck snag with the refusal of the
county commissioners to attend the
conference last week in the CONNER
cial club rooms with the citizens inter-
ested in the good roads movement.
The Times deems it a very unwise
move on the part of the commissioners
to turn down that conference at least.
Such conference could not have bound
the commissioners in any way except
to listen to the arguments of the citi-
zens and to give their own reasons
for refusal to consider the plan. AS it
now appears the county commission
ers are put in a very bad light with
the citizens here who believe in fair
play. The Times believes too that a
very wrong impression exists in var
ious parts of the county regarding
what the highway enthusiasts were at
gone forth that the city of Twin Falls
was, by attempting to get the falls
bridged, throwing down the rest of the
county on the east and west highway.
Such impression has been fostered to
a large extent in and around Bull
where they are very prone to trump up
charges against Twin Falls. Twin
Falls is not letting up for minute on
the highway east and west nor will it
do SO. No Twin Falls citizens will
contravert such an idea. Neither will
the north and south route. Shoshone
falls is not the property of the city of
Twin Falls nor should it be considered
so by the rest of the county. 1t should
be regarded rather as a mighty strong
scenic asset for the whole Twin Falls
country. Such is the feeling with
which it is regarded on the North Side
of the river and Lincoln county which
cannot receive half the commercial
benefit from tourist travel that this
county can, is working hard for a good
piiuSc d'lpSS IHt ldllS. 1HtT5 SbellS
to be little reason for the uproar made
in certain quarters over a move that
will make available a considerable
amount of state money. The Times
does not believe that the rest of the
county are going to get anywhere to-
ward the east and west highway by
knocking Twin Falls. 1t does not be-
lieve that anything can be done with
out cooperation of all concerned and
the antics of certain sections of the
county toward Twin Falls will do away.
with much enthusiasm of citizens here
toward boosting for anything for the
rest. If selfishness, purely, is to be
the policy of the rest of the county
then they cannot blame Twin Falls for
adopting the same policy with regard
to all improvements which do not di-
rectly help this city What is fair and
right for one should be fair and right
for all. But the Times does not be-
lieve that such spirit does exist all
over the county nor does exist in this
city The citizens here always have
and always will meet more than half
way the rest of the county. There has
not been a single attempt SO far for

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE
Results OF Last Weeks AdverSlslnu in Our
Paper

Mr.. A. w. Lund reports more
than satisfactory result from his
Majestic Range sale advertised in
the last two issues of our paper.
Monday was Children's day and a
canary-bird whistle was given TO
each child furnishing written an
swers to the questions asked in the
advertisement in last weeks issue.
Arthur Davis won the prize by Civ.
ing the best answer, which we print
below, and Rose Meyer followed
with very good one, which we
have not space to print.
(1) My mother uses the Round
Oak Chief"
(2) Mrs. Jackman, K. F. d. ?
needs new range.
CD The Great Majestic is the
most durable range made because
1t is made out of malleable and
charcoal iron. 1t has been rivited
together so it is practically air
tight. 1t is lined with asbestos
board. 1t has a movable reservoir
and non-warp oven. The Great
Majestic bakes and burns with less
fuel than any other stove made. Ii
always bakes just right and never
burns anything that is baking Gum
less it is not attended to- We all
think the Great Majestic is the best
range for Mr.. Lund only handles
the best of everything and he
handles the Great Majestic so it
must be the best range or Mr.. Lund
wouldn't handle it.

The manufacturers and Mr. Lund,
their local representative, arranged
to do this advertising jointly. A
