STRANGE CONDUCT. THIS.

It long has been supposed to be the custom of the Washington statesmen to allow the interests, whether tariff-protected industries or food adulterators, to have the guiding hand in framing legislation affecting them. And now Woodrow Wilson won't even let a New York banker dictate how the currency bill shall read! Strange conduct, this, MT. President. Next thing we know you will object to the lawyers making all the laws so that no one, themselves included, can tell what they mean.

A Thought Worth Remembering.

DOUBTLESS CAN TELL WHY.

The POLK county quorum court by 9 to 8, voted against the apprO- priation of $500 toward paying for the services of a County Farm Demonstration Agent-this despite the fact that the majority of the thinking people recognize that this work has been a great prosperity builder and has added very con- siderably to the crop production of the county.
 While the Polk county justices were taking this action, those of our neighbor to the south appropriated $500 for the demonstration work and $250 for premiums to be given to those who excel in crop growing.
 Eliminating all the benefits re- ceived by the farmers of Polk coun- ty during the past season by reason of improved crops, and all the edu- cation along better lines of farming acquired by the boys, here is the way the cash account balances: Paid out by county for dem
 OnSJfdJOP .................S 30U.UU Received from U. s. govern
 ment .................. 30O.O0 Paid in premiums, mostly by
 Mena citizens ....... 327.50
 $1O22.50
 This money, every cent of it, is paid direct to the farmers and farmers boys. The S35O appropri- ated is about the only money ap- propriated by the quorum court that goes directly to the farmers, and of this amount the part paid by the taxpayers aside from Mena and the railroad is perhaps one-third, or $i16. It appears, then that for Sii6 paid by the farmers, they re- ceive S9l1.50 that they do not pay.
 That would appear to be a pretty good swap itself.
 But g of F Polk county justices could not see it that way-at least that is the way they voted, as can be seen by the court proceedings. The same thing happened two years ago, and when this paper printed the names of those voting against the demonstration work, some of them acted very much as though they didn't like it.
 1t is not pleasant to have such disagreements-but, after all, it is just a difference of opinion. The Star is a firm believer in the idea that any proposition is good that will increase the productiveness of the soil, and the prosperity of the farmers, and The Star believes that there are better methods than those generally in use.
 But the people elect the justices, the justices make the appropria- lions, and if the people are pleased no one else has much right to com plain.
 Finally, if any of our friends who voted against the demonstration work care to tell why, The Star will open it's columns freely for that purpose.

President Wilson declares: If you think too much about being re- elected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing."

Possibility Of Beginning Construction
This Year ON Building Very Re-
mote,

The board Of directors of the Twin
Falls Comemrcial club, after consul
tation with a large number of the citi-
zens this week, made its decision re-
garding the type of architecture for
the new $S5,000 federal building for
this city. Several plans and pictures
OF federal buildings in other parts OF
the country were sent several months
ago to the Commercial club by Con
gressman Addison T. Smith with the
request that the club get an express
sion OF opinion from the citizens re-
garding style of architecture desired
here.
The type selected was that used in
the federal building at Evanston, Ill,
and will, If used here, give Twin Falls
very handsome structure Of Bedford
stone with Corinthian columns across
the entire front. The date of build
ing is too indefinite for Congressman
Smith to make any prediction, but
following the usual governmental pol
Icy of priority in purchase of sites
would place the building date for
Twin Falls about the middle of next
year.

DIAMOND DISCOVERY.
Glenns Ferry Man Makes Important
Find in Sand.

W.. G. Corker, while riding one day
in the vicinity of Glenns Ferry, saw
what appeared to be stone glisten-
ing in the sand. He picked up the
stone and noticed that 1t was one of
rare quality and by no means an or
dinary stone. Recently he sent this
diamond in the rough form to a near
by city to have 1t cut and he Is now
the possessor of four of the finest
Idaho diamonds the writer ever saw.
The conditions around Glenns Ferry
are similar to the conditions of the
country in South Africa, where lies
the great diamond field of the world.
AS to whether these stones are the
best quality Of diamonds or not, is
still unknown, but he has already
disposed of one of the stones at fancy
price. Several parties have already
searched for stones In that locality
and there is wild talk here of organ
izing a company and starting dia-
mond mine.-Glenns Ferry Gazette.
