Head of Board of Education As

The movement for new high schools
gained impetus to-day when pub
ic-spiritcd citizens turned with inter
est toward the plan as advocated by
Colonel Walter R. Daley. president Of
the Board of Education. in his two
addresses at the graduation exercises
Of the Boys and Girls High Schools,
in which he urged a $5.OOO,Oo0 bond
issue by the city of Atlanta, 100000
for the express purpose of building
high schools.
There is not an adequate high
school in the entire city Of Atlanta.
It's up to the people, and time City
Councilmen are urged to wake up
and do their duty. Atlanta has a
credit upon which any city govern
ment could borrow $5.00O.0O0. declared

presented high school diplomas to ga
young Americans.

REMANDED BACK FOR TRIAL
Supreme Court Reyerses Judge Stock
clnger In Twin Falls Case.

The Fourth judicial district court
Tor Twin Falls county, Judge G.. o.
Stockslager presiding, is commanded
to dismiss the case of Twin Falls
county versus II. T. West ct al, an ac-
ton instituted by the county on the
official bond of West, the ex-recorder
OF that county, by the supreme court
Df this state in an opinion handed
down last night in which it reverses
the presiding jurist of the lower court
Judge Stockslager held for Twin Falls
county. Chief Justice James A. ALL
SHE wrote the supreme court opinion
1t is concurred in by Justice Sullivan
especially and by Justice Stewart in
part.
Twin Falls county made West and
his bondsman. the United States FL
deity q Guaranty company, defend.
ants to the suit to recover the bond
that West had given for the faithful
discharge of his duty as clerk of the
district court and ex-officio county
recorder of Twin Falls county. West
was appointed to that office in 1907
when Twin Falls county was formed
out of CassiH county. Prior to the
organization of Twin Falls county the
county recorder and board of commits
sioners of Cassia county had entered
into an arrangement with the Twin
Falls Land & Water company whereby
the county was to give the company a
straight rate of 40 cents each for re-
cordlng what were commonly deSig-
mated as water contracts When West
went into office the company asked
the commissioners of the new county
Twin Falls, to continue this arrange
ment. West advised the commission
ers, however, that the expenses of the
new county were greater than those of
the old and that the rate on recording
the contracts should be raised to 81
and the commissioners finally entered
into such an agreement Thereafter
West recorded a large number of con-
tracts at this rate and later when his
term of office expired he retired as a
county official with his accounts au-
dited, allowed and approved.
A new board of county commission

ers coming into power later caused ac-
ton to be instituted against West and
the surety company on Vests official
bond for the recovery of the sum of
$SI94l, which represented the differ
ence between the price he had charg-
ed the land and water companies for
recording contracts and the amount
that the recording would have actual
ly have amounted to had he made the
regular charge prescribed by the sta
tutes for recording such instruments
The case was tried in the district court
and judgment given Twin Falls
county. 1t was from this the appeal
was taken.
1T strikes us that it would shock
the sense of honesty and fair dealing
OF the average citizen as quickly for
county or other municipal corpora
ton to recover judgment against an Of
flcer under facts and circumstances
such as are disclosed here, as it would
for one individual to recover against
another under like state of facts and
circumstances" says Justice Ailshie
after reviewing the case and conclud-
ing the courts findings. "Estoppel is
an equitable doctrine to be applied in
a court of conscience for the purposes
of accomplishing even-handed Justice
The application of that doctrine to
the present case is an action between
the county of Twin Falls and this an
pellant will certainly accomplish sub
stantial justice and equity between the
two litigants. The fact that Twin
Falls county has lost over $4,000 by
this transaction and that it ought to
be able to recover it from the real
debtor would not justify the courts in
allowing the county to recover that
sum from the officer who acted under
the direction of the board of commits
sioners of the county and who might
be obliged to lose the whole sum if
judgment like this should stand. From
what has been said it follows that the
augment in this case ought to be re-
versed and it is so ordered, and the
cause is remanded to the trial court
with direction to dismiss the action"

the utilities that bring them in contact
J with each other, and that the more
nearly perfect in efficiency and SUI
ficiency the utilities serving the public
are, the more prosperity, comforts ana
conveniences the public will enjoy.
We believe our story is an interest
| ing one, and we hope that everyone
will read it.
T., NOte.--As an instance of the kind
of startling news which newspaper
sometimes publish, we want to call
attention to recent articles in the
newspapers headed, United States
Government Calls Upon Two Girl Ste
nographers to Tell Where They Got
Two Million. Dollars to Form the Cor
poration Securities and Investment
Company. Then the articles went on
to say that the Corporation Securities
and Investment Company was
scheme of the Telephone Company to
further it's purspose of monopolizing
telephone companies, etc.
The truth is that our company has
| been met with a strong feeling in the
State of Montana-well-nigh univer-
sal-that something should be done to
|
| two telephone systems Public meet
ings have been held, and votes taken,
that the telephones of one or the other
of tn systems should be thrown out.
Resolutions and letters have been sub
mitted to us, and we have started out
to see what we could do to relieve the
citizens of that state of his burden.
We found that the Independent in
terests operating there also operated
in Spokane, in the State of Washing
ton, and in northern Idaho, and that
the Independent interests doing bust
ness in Montana could not be bought,
or sold, SO as to alone cover the prop
erty in Montana, but that the purchase
must include their property in the
states of Idaho and Washington. The
Mountain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Conway does not operate in
either of these sections, and, there
fore, is not responsible for telephone
conditions there, but we felt we must
meet the situation in Montana, and
so, in order to be in a position to
either buy or sell, from or to, the
Independent interests in Mont ana,
there was formed this Corporation Sc
curities and Investment Company, as
O. WI PoIo COMPANY, W ClltCl lIllO
gotiations with the Independent inter
eSts in Montana, which negotiations
are now in progress, and, if possible,
to buy these Independent interests in
Montana, northern Idaho and Wash
ington, and then in the end, if that
purpose was accomplished, the Corpo-
ration Securities and Investment Com
pany should sell to The Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany the portion of the Independent
plants located in Montana, and sell
to others the portion of these indie
pendent plants existing in northern
Idaho and Washington.
We explain this so the public may
know that in the above Foreword,
where we say there is no company
within company, or wheels within
Wheels we are speaking absolutely
truly, and also that this Corporation
Securities and Investment Company,
which was SO freely advertised by the
articles in the newspaper referred to,
is absolutely a legitimate and proper
and organized for the specific
purpose stated

RESERVOIRS AND
THE FLOODS

The scheme of impounding the food
waters of the Mississippi river system has
for its aim not merely the protection OF
the people and property within the food
areas, but also the improvement of the
waterway so that the stage Of water shall
never get so low that it cannot be navi-
gated. The lakes, or reservoirs, which
shall hold the water back, will be so con-
trolled that they may be drawn upon as a
miliry nation draws upon its reserves, or
a manufacturer opens up his store-room
or bins.
The primary object of this rerervoir
plan is, of course, the prevention of the
yearly destruction of farmland, towns,
villages, roads, municipal improvements,
industrial plants, homes and human
lives. It is as much the duty of the gov
ernment to fortify against floods as it is
to build Notifications against a rapacious
enemy who comes in ships and transports.
But it seems quite feasible scheme that
these Notifications can be made to serve
a useful purpose -one that will repay in
national wealth and prosperity the money
spent and go far to justify extensions of
the system to sections of the country
which do not have to throw its possess
ions together and run for high ground as
a sequel to excessive rain or the rapid
melting of snow banks.
The Newlands river regulation bill,
from which the last congress shied away,
calls for the scientific study and the per-
manent prevention of flood damage. It
should be resurrected at the earliest
moment and so much of it as will provide
for an earnest examination of the prob
lem passed without delay Toledo Blade.

A we'll known figure in automobile
racing circles is Harry Endicott, who
will drive a Nyberg car in the third
annual five-hundred-mile international
Sweepstakes Race at the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway May 30. Endicott
began his career in 1904 when he
drove at the Harlem race track, Chi,
cago. Since then he has participated
in races all over the country and has
won an enviable reputation as spec
tacular performer. Last year he
served as relief driver for his brother,
"Bill' Endicott, in the five.hundred-
mile race at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway and was credited with win
ming fifth place. The Nyberg, which
he will drive May 80, was constructed
under his supervision and Endicott is
at present testing and perfecting his
engine in anticipation of the great
speed coolest that is before him.

A law in South Dakota, similar to
Ohio, requires the number of saloon to
be reduced to one to every six hundred
inhabitants. In town where there was
ten saloons and only three could exist
under the new law, the saloon keepers
agreed among themselves to ask for an
election and let the voters decide who
should stay in and who go out of the
business. One of them was opposed to
the plan at first. He thought he would
have pull with the powers that would
decide the matter, but when he found
that everybody was agreed to the popular
election plan, he came in and agreed to
accept results.

De PALMA TO STAR
ITALIAN PREPARES TO REDEEM
HONORS LOST LAST YEAR.
Receivers from Injuries Received and
Will Head Team Of Three
Mercer Cars.

Despite the rumor to the contrary
which was widely circulated month
or so ago, Ralph De Palma, the young
Italian-American automobile race
driver, who all but won the 500-mile
race at the indianapolis Motor Speed
way last year. has not lost his nerve,
and will again be seen behind the
wheel of a racing car during the third
annual 500-mile International Sweep
stakes Race, which will be staged at
the indianapolis Speedway, May go.
The story to the effect that DePalma,
following his accident at Milwaukee
last autumn, would foTsake racing for
business, emanated from Texas, and
when traced to its source it was
learned that a young man represent
ing himself as De Palma, had given
this information to the newspapers.
1t went over the country like wild
fire. for there is no more popular
driver in America than De Palma,
and caused no little CONSERVATION in
racing circles.
At the time this rumor originated in
Texas, De Palma was in New York,
where he was making active prepa-
rations for entering the Indianapolis
500-mile race. He denied the rumor
Immediately, and then to refute it
more completely he journeyed to In
dianapolis where he met the officials
of the Speedway and engaged garage
space for himself and his teammates
De Palma will drive a Mercer car in
the big race, and will head a three
car team entered by the Mercer Com
pany. His teammates will be Spen-
Ger Wishart and Caleb Bragg, drivers
who have established regulations
which are but little short of that of
De Palma. De Palma expects that
the cars which this team will use in
the race will be out of the factory and
thoroughly tested before the latter
part of April. They will then be
brought to Indianapolis, and De
Palma and his team mates will put
in the month prior to the race in
training and getting acquainted with
the track.
1t will be remembered that last year,
De Palma, in his Medcedes led the
race up until the last lap, when oW-
ing to an accident to his engine he

was compelled to give up the strug-
gle. This year he is determined that
he will redeem himself and is there
fore looking forward to the race with
unusual anxiety. During the Grand
Prize race at Milwaukee last fall he
was the victim of another accident
which broke several of his ribs and
made his chances for further racing
look rather dim for awhile, but De

pared him to meet such emergencies
