WEEKLY REVIEW STATE
NEWS WITH OUR
COMMENT
Change in State Institutions.

Edward o. SESSIONS, state commits
sioner of education, proposes a radi-
cal Organization of the public edu-
cational institutions. In brief Mr.
Cisson proposes to abolish the Albion
Normal an dthe Pocatello Academy;
the Lewiston Normal will be brought
into closer touch with the state uni
versity, and junior colleges will be
established at Boise and Pocatello.
The plan further provides for the alb
olishment of the Office OF state super
intendent of public instruction. The
report has just been made public. The
state board of education fully con-
cures with the recommendations made
bv the state commissioner
The argument in favor OF the pro-
posed changes is that more good
could be accomplished at less ex-
pense by effecting the re-organiza-
ton.
The Albion Normal school serves
very small number of students and
at high rate per student. The Poca-
tello Academy is simply doing work
that should be done in the high school,
The plan suggested will concentrate
the higher and more advanced in
struction and dissemenate high school
instruction. Both of these objects
are highly desirable. A summary Of
the advantages of the new plan as
made by the state commissioner fol
lows. 1t would:
81. Open the door of a good high
school free and not far distant for
every boy and girl prepared to enter.
-. Provide junior college and
more adequate normal work for south
Idaho.
-. Enable, parents to keep their
children longer at home or near
home, and still have them advance in
their schooling. This would be a
great saving financially.
"a. Provide for at least three times
as many young people of high school
and college age as does the present
plan, and at no increase of cost.
IS. Give a fair remuneration to
high schools which are now taking
in pupils from other districts, largely
at their own expense; this would
tighten the financial burden OF many
districts maintaining high schools.
g. Relieve parents from paying
tuition fees for their children attend
ing high schools in 'other districts.
81. Aid the high school to develop
work in agriculture, home economies.
training courses for teachers and
other vocational work, suited to local
needs and conditions.
IS. Tend to keep small districts
from building up high schools at the
expense of the elementary grades; in.
stead they could send their older pu-
pills to the nearest free high school.
80. Eliminate all wasteful duph-
cation among state schools and be
tween the state schools and the public
schools.
40 The cooperating schools
would strengthen their courses in or
der to meet the requirements of the
plan, and hence the whole high school
system would be improved and all the
students benefited.
al. In brief, without added cost
to the state funds, and with less cost
to school districts and parents, IT
would Distribute educational oppor-
ty as justly and widely as possible
throughout the state"

Pinchot Sees a Situation.

AAASAASk SCCo q OAGdolAOlls
Amos, only brother of the great
Clifford Pinchot, sees situation in
the Progressive party (which must
be terminated before it can command
general popular support" The situa-
ton to which Amos refers is Geo. w.
Perkins as the leader of the party. He
states that Perkins is a menace to the
party because of his affiliation with
the United States Steel corporation
and the lntermountain Harvester Co.,
two great monopolies that have sue
ceeded most completely in exploiting
the public and crushing organized la
Dor"
All of the above is neither new nor
interesting except that Mr.. Pinchot
has awakened to the hypocritical posi-
ton occupied his party. 1t remains to
be seen what effect his denunciation
OF Perkins will have. Only a short
time ago Perkins was, next after
Roosevelt, the brains and inspiration
of the Progressive party. Here in
Idaho he was particularly and pecu-
liarly the inspiration Of the party. He
was the barrel. How will our Idaho
ProgressiveS look at "the situation. "
Amos Pinchot came to life solely be-
cause his brother wants to be Uni
ted States senator from Pennsylvania.
In Pennsylvania the situation" is
not calculated to further the sena-
torial ambition of Clifford, Hence
arises the necessity for terminating
the Situation" Whatever the mot
I'VE most people will appreciate the
truth of the statements made by
Amos.

News Snapshots
OF the Week

will participate in the primaries as
Republicans. There will certainly not
be heavy registration of those who
call themselves out and out third
party men. There will be no third
party ticket in Shoshone county. |
understand that no county ticket will
be placed in Latah county, in Lewis
county and in one or two others In
looking over the field in the north il
seems to me that he Republican party
is getting stronger, the Progressive
party. weaker, and the Democrats have
troubles of their own"
The Tribune asked the writer for
fair statement of conditions in north
Idaho. His statement fits with the
reports of southern Idaho men who
have visited the north; with the COM
ment of north Idaho newspapers;
and with condition prevailing through
out this section of the state. 1t
may be accepted as fair statement
of actual conditions. The. few self
appointed leaders of the third party
movement insist that they will sweep
the state. 1t is noticeable, however,
that their strength like good fishing
and milk fever, is always in the ad-
joining county. These leaders are
putting forth their best efforts to keep
the organization alive until after the
coming election, in hopes that some
political cataclysm may sweep a few
of them into Office. Political cata-
clysms are not likely this year. A
slow, steady movement toward the
Republican party is all that the sane,
conservative man can see in the signs
of the times.

Sixty Million Acres Tied Up.

The people of Idaho know that over
one fifth the area of this state is tied
up in forest reserves as direct result
of the PinchotJRoosevelt conserva-
ton policy 1t is stated that there are
OIL 600 600 more acres tied up in west
ern states awaiting congressional con-
servation legislation. Not an acre of
this land can be utilized or developed
until the conservation laws are passed
by congress. OF the lands withdrawn
l 985,657 acres are withdrawn as
water power sites; 81, Al, o20 acres
are embraced in coal land withdraw
ais; 4, 6l775o acres as oil lands; g.
@O,67l acres as phosphate lands; and
the balance OF the 81, 4l0,o67 acres
are held as potash, minerals and re-
servoir sites. These figures have been
made by Secretary Lane of the de-
partment of the interior.
When these figures are added to the
millions of acres in forest reserves
some idea may be had of how Idaho
and other western states are crippled
by the conservation fad. Our pres
ent policy in regard to public lands

With the national government con-
serving millions of acres in Idaho
and the state government unable TO

wonder that taxes are high? Some
day perhaps the injustice OF applied
conservation will be generally recog-
nizcd and steps taken to re-invest
western states with their inheritance
and intrust them with the administra-
ton OF their own affairs.

]. Clark and w. P. Kemper
have purchased a section of land
near Demopolis, Alabama, and
will move to it on or about the
Ist of March, one carload of their
stock having been shipped on

Alabama, and while Messrs
Kemper did not state the amount
paid per acre for the land, they
said that land in that section sold
from $40 to SIS. Mr.. Kemper
stated that the land would COM
pare favorably with the Illinois
land that a few years ago sold
for about the same money, the
Alabama land is now selling, and
which has advanced now to where
it is selling from $I75 to 5000 per
acre, and he believes that in a
few years that the Alabama land
will be as valuable. They will
grow alfalfa, corn, oats and raise
stock. There is. grown there
