BILLS
FOR GOOD ROADS
Copyright,

There is strong probability that
all good roads legislation will fail of
enactment during the present con-
gress because of the inability of a
sufficient number in the house or
senate to agree on any particular
bill. Something like 800 good roads
measures have been introduced.
They run from measure providing
for the construction of trunk lines
and laterals wholly at the expense
of the national treasury to the other
extreme of taxing the abutting prop
erty owners. Almost every con-
ceivable plan between these two ex-
tremes is proposed in the multitude
of measures introduced. and thus
far it has been impossible to get
more than corporal's guard to ex-
press a favorable opinion on any
particular bill.
From the deluge of good roads
msil sent to senator's and represent
atives. one who has given the mat
ter some study has figures out that
city people generally--representing
the automobile clubs-favor a plan
TO make the expense fall on the peo-
pie of the counties thru which the
roads pass, in form of bonded in
debtedness; the oranges generally
favor the taxation of luxuries for
road purposes, knowing such plan

AFTER THE
CREAMERY lRUSl

Washington, Jan. 20.-Represen-
tative Smith of Idaho, has brought
to the attention of the Attorney
General resolution adopted by the
Idaho State Dairymen's Association
at a recent meeting in Gooding, urg-
ing an investigation by the Depart
ment of Justice, with view of pre-
venting an annihiIation of independ-
ent creameries in Idaho, by the
creamery trust.
It is contended that a trust exists
among the creameries of the country
and that the Independent creameries
in Idaho are being crowded out of
the market by the operations of the
trust. A thorough investigation
will be made by the Department and
appropriate action taken in the mat
ter.
Representative Burton 1. French
last week, spoke in the house of
representatives, in advocacy Of his
bill, providing for an appropriation
of s125. 900 for the survey of the
two million acres Of lieu lands scat
tered thruout the state.
Mr.. French urged upon Congress
that these lands have been owned
by private companies for ten or fif-
teen years, but in view of the fact
that they are unsurveyed, they are
not patented and consequently are
mot paying taxes. He urged that
the immediate survey of these lands
and the issuance of patents will save
the people of Idaho s75 900 annual.
ly in taxes that will be paid by the
owners Of the lands in question.

FREE TRADE IN MEAT
FAILS TO LOWER PRICES
Effects of Removal Of Tariff Discussed by Pres
ident Jastro at Convention Of the National
Live Stock Association.

Denver. Colo. Jan. 20, That the
meat producing industry Of the
United States has been permanently
placed upon free trade basis. with.
out benefit Of cheaper prices 10 the
consumer, and that the removal II
the tariff will not approciably injure
the livestock industry. were the
principal conclusions expressed BY
President II. A. Jastro. addressing
the American National Live Stock
association here today. Perhaps III
the distant future. he said. there
might be reaiignment ~ parties
and one similar TO the agrarian
parties of Europe might favor diff.
ferent treatment Of this industry
but this Ii a remote possibility and
the live stock growers may AZ well
adjust themselves TO a free trade
basis Of their products.
The most important factor in pro-
ducing this result. said President
Jastro, was the high cost Of meat
during the last few years and the
failure Of the consumers To take in.
to account the advanced cost ~ pro.
duction and increase of land values.
Another cause was the wide spread
but erroneous belief TINT the so
called beef trust was solely rcspon-
sihle for the high cost Of meats.
According 10 the best obtainable da.
"a, he placed the number of head of
livestock slaughtered by Armour.

regular state work, and no expense
is attached to it.
The nine hour law for the employ
ment of women has also received
the attention of this department, as
its object is for the protection of
the health of female employees.
The chemical laboratory in con-
nection with this department has
been of great value in determining
adulterated foodstuffs that are con-
stantly being placed on our markets.
Many of the so-called genuine ar
ticles" have been ruled off the
shelves of our stores entirely, as on
investigation and analysis they
prove to be rank limitations that are
being sold to the people as a stand
ard article at'standard price. How
ever, comparison of the products
analyzed now and when this depart
ment first started its operations
would indicate that manufacturers
are placing their imitation" pro-
ducts in other territory, as many
have been taught the lesson that it
is expensive to pan off spurious pro-
ducts on the people of Idaho. In
attending the national convention
at Mobile, Ala, and at Washington
D. c., felt somewhat fiattered at
the recognition this state has gained
among manufacturers, packers,
wholesalers and jobbers in our cam
paign for pure products. | can un-
hesitatingly say that Idaho is no
longer the dumping ground for
goods that cannot be sold elsewhere,
and the people of this fair state
should feel gratified that they can
reasonably feel assured of getting
the article they pay for and that
they are not short weighted.
Our expenditure of $21, ,723. SO
would, at first thought, represent
the cost to the people of this de-
partment, but we have turned into
the state treasury the sum of &c.
897. 10, which leaves the actual cost
of operation but $11, ,829,73. This
is practically paid back to the people
in one item alone-s short weight
butter, which is now practically un-
known in Idaho. With butter at 30
cents per pound, and each pound
one ounce short, as was the practice
in former years, this amount would
be made up in less than six months.

MISS EDITH MATTS0N
DIES FROM HEART TROUBLE

Miss Edith Mattson of st. Charles
died last Monday at the home of her
sister. Mrs. George WahIatrom in
Laketown. Death was caused from
heart trouble.
Deceased was a daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Ola Mattson Of st. Charles
and was born there 81 years a9o.
Last fall she went to Laketown to
teach school, but was taken III the
week after shool opened. and her
condition gradually became worse.
Shortly after she became III she
went 10 Logan for treatment and
after a few weeks she seemed to inn
prove and returned to Laketown In
the hope that she would be able TO
take up her duties in the school
room. but her hope was in vain.
She was a most estimable young
lady and her untimely death i
mourned By her legion Of friends.
Besides her parents, she II sur
yived BY three brothers and four
sisters. Her funeral services we're
held from the ST. Charles meeting
house this. Friday. morning At Il
o'clock.

of indirect taxation would fall heav-
lest Of the city dweller and men Of
wealth. That this latter plan is
most likely to be favored in the end
can only be conjectured from figur-
ing out that the country districts
have larger representation in con-
gress than the cities.
What is regarded as possible
ground for compromise is a bill pro-
viding for government bond issue
of $50, 900. 900 annually for 20 years
interest and principal to be paid
from small retail tobacco tax.
The author of this measure points
out that a tax of fraction of cent
on each five-eent cigar. with a pro-
portionate increase on those of high.
er price, would produce the neces-
sary revenue without anybody feel
ing the tax. Cigars would be made
a trihe smaller-the reduction in
size being so insignificant as to make
it imperceptible to the smoker ex-
cept by comparison.
Whether this measure is one on
which a majority can agree remains
to be seen but it is certain that
until some such happy medium can
be found there is no prospest of
good roads legislation.
