war abroad will encourage the sell.
ing of our food products and discour-
age the buying of foreign luxuries.
Our exports of manufactures are al
ready recovering. This means that
the net result of our foreign trade will
soon be more normal excess of ex-
ports; factor which will do much
toward restraining any excessive ship
ment of gold to Europe, The coun-
try's gold supplies are ample and need
cause no concern whatever. In the
treasury there is probably over ST.
000,000,000, and we could readily
spare a reasonable amount to Europe
without any great inconvenience. The
Bank of England is working on a re-
serve of $200,000,000 and meeting far
greater emergencies than exist on
this side. The unfortunate feature of
the situation is that the foreign de-
mand for gold has fallen almost en-
tirely upon the national banks. For
tunately through the operation of the
Aldrich-Vreeland act and the ener-
getic assistance of the government,
the emergency has been well met.
Some of the propositions advanced
have an inflationary tendency; but
as time limits have been placed upon
their operation, it is not likely any
untoward results will follow.
President Wilson Is pushing his
shipping bill with his usual vigor. 1t
now looks as if the pfan for the gov
ernment purchase or ships to the ex-
tent of $3O,OOO,000 will be adopted by
congress. With President Wilson'S
desire to establish an American ma
rine all good Americans will agree.
But government purchase of ships
meets with strong opposition in some
quarters for the reason that there is
plenty of available tonnage seeking
employment although much of that
offered for sale is not of suitable
type. Moreover, private capital is
likely to hesitate to enter into COM
petition with the government; hence
it may prove no real aid to the es-
tablishment of a legitimate American
merchant marine, as the cost of run
ming is apt to be more than under
private enterprise. In the end the
prospects are that the transaction
will prove to be a losing one for the
government, and we fhall be fortu
nate If we escape foreign complita
tions. On the other hand President
Wilson ought TO be commended in his
desire to suspend for a period the
restrictions which prevent private
ownership of American ships. The
excessive cost of building and operat
ing American ships is the rnain rea
son for American ship owners opeIat
ing under foreign flags. shipping Is
a business subject to keen competi
ton, and those who enter it cannot

who more emphatically deserved well
of the party than the progressives Of
Louisiana. He spoke of the old re.
publican party as having 'deliber-
ate purpose to become the bulwark
of bourbon antagonism to advance
throughout the nation" and said the
demoSats we're welded to outworn
principles of government and dead
and buried economic theories
The day was Labor day, which led
him to discuss the industrial and eco
nomic situation. Both the old par
ties are welded to their idols. The
republican party by every action it
has taken during the past two years
has made it evident that it intends to
see that the rank and file are shackl-
ed and are put under the control of
the great bosses of the stamp of Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. Penrose. On the
other hand the democratic party
which has possessed absolute power
in Washington for the last two years
has shown not the faintest symptom
of real understanding of the needs
of the people. 1t has done nothing
whatever for labor, and its action on
the trusts and the tariff have shown
that IL is not fit to run the govern
ment. With the trusts they have
adopted the policy of firing so as to
hit it if it is bear and to miss it if
it is a calf"
He told his audience that the peo-
pie of Louisiana were among those
hardest hit by "the backward and re-
dictionary policy" which the govern
ment has adopted as regards the
tariff. He asserted that the promise
to break up the trusts and reduce the
cost of living had not been realized.
He took up in detail the matter of
sugar with which Louisiana is closely
identified. The removal of duty on
this commodity, he said, had been a
big contributing cause to the present
high price for sugar, not only serious
ly affecting the sugar industry but
causing damage upon the whole pub
lie.
'Germany's great economic develop
ment during the 43 years preceding
this lamentable war;" he said, had
been due largely to the intelligent use
of tariff commission. The progress
sive proposal along this line he held
to be the only real hope for good
business from the standpoint of all.
He pointed to the disturbed busi-
which emphasized the need of gov
ernment commission with power to
tell business men from the beginning
what was right for them to do, and
what is wrong. In New York he said
the small provision dealers had been
anxious to come together for conser
vation as to handling hour during
these war times, in order that poor
people might obtain it at as little add
ed expense as possible. Such decis-
ions as that in the harvester case had
made it practically impossible for
these dealers to come together "for
even taking over an understanding
that would be vitally necessary in the
interest of the community at large,
without being liable to prosecution"

Those familiar with the old rates
and the difficulty experienced by
shippers in shipping under them can
readily see by the per centage of in
crease that it will hardly pay the
grower of early stuff to attempt to
do anything this year unless a
change can be secured. A slight re-
duction was secured last year but
even at that the express rates were
almost prohibitive and the new raise
of from six to fifty per cent certain
ly will make it useless to attempt
anything along the line of express
shipments of early fruits and vegeta-
bles. Many thousands of dollars
worth of this early produce such
as strawberries, raspberries, sweet
corn, tomatoes, etc. was handled last
year at a fair margin of profit but
with extreme difficulty owing to the
high express rate and now it seems
that not satisfied with three fourths
of the loaf the express company has
prepared under the new rate to COB
Bile the whole darned bakeshop.

SPLENDID ATTRACTION

greatest travel film ever produced,
and the Lyric Theatre, New York,

COMMITTEE INSTALLS
NEW HYDRANTS

After carefully going over the wat
er works system in the city with re-
gard to the location of fire hydrants
the fire committee of the council de-
cided to install four new hydrants at
different points where increased pro-
lection would be given to property.
The hydrants arrived the first of the
week and are now being put IN place.
One is being installed at the corner
near the c. B. Compton residence,
one at the NJ. E. church, one at the
Bradshaw residence and the fourth
one at the corner near the West side
high school building. Another hy-
drant that is located on the west side
where there is no property TO pro-
tect will be taken up and placed
where it will do some good. With the
installing of the four new hydrants
there is a fire hydrant on every bu-
siness corner in the city and one on
each corner of the Central high
school building. The new arrange
ment will no doubt prove advantage
Gus in case of fire in the business
section and will enable the fire de-
partment to get more streams of wat
er going than under the old location.

Prohibitiue Rates
Made Higher
New Express Rates Taking Effect
February 18th Are Almost Prohibit
tive as Far as the Shipping Of
Early Fruits and Vegetables From
Payette is Concerned.

The sweeping reduction in express
rates which were announced to take
place on February 18th seem not tc
be quite SC sweeping as one at first
supposed. In talking with F. E.
Price, Of Denney & Company the
first of this week We CLEANED some
valuable information regarding some
of the express rates from Payette
to ally.1aaho points under the new
regulators.

siyely for the last two years Mr..
Price began looking up the new ex-

mon with others had read of the
sweeping reductions to take place
February 18th and went to the ex-
press office with joy in his heart
feeling that he would have a chance
this year to compete with other
sections growing early fruits and
vegetables. To say he was disappoint-
ed puts it mildly. In gathering his
figures for use the coming spring
on the early stuff he found the fol-
lowing to be the new rates on early
fruits and vegetables from Pasette
to oil Idaho noints.

Y. NJ. c. A. Notes

The Y. M. C. A, although yet un-
finished, gives promise now of very
successful conclusion Now that the
movement is in progress the Direc-
tors are determined to put the As
sociation on sound basis. The con-
ditions are being placed before the
people and there is every reason to
believe that the problems will be
solved and that Payette will have a
safer, better, and more useful build
ing than before. 1t entails consid-
cradle task but those in charge are
seeking to make such "a division of
labor" as shall not place a too heavy
load on any individual. A gratifying
fact is that practically every one is
ready to assume his share. Nobody
wants to shirk. That is great en-
couragement to those who have vol
unteered to make the canvas for the
necessary funds.
The canvassers are not looked up
OIL DIS uc6SdiS, ouI eiS hiSt do Ssd1A
est business men engaged in an en-
terprise that touches the interest of
all. The boys have put on their
working clothes and are taking an
active part in the real work. The
girls donned their kitchen togs and
served dinner to the workers, and the
women of the Auxiliary are as busy
as proverbial bees. If there is a
knocker in the town he must be TAX
ing a vacation. Keep your eye on
Payette. And Payette is apprec!at-
ing her good neighbors now. You
can't tell where the boundary lire is.
The campaign for funds is being
hastened to a close, perhaps this
week will see the conclusion of the
quiet and persistent effort to put
the Association on the best basis in
it's history and to reconstruct the
building. Up to p. m. Tuesday the
group of 20 men who are toassume
s1OO 90 each of the old debt was prac-
tically completed and work was far
along in getting the 80 men who
will pay $4,000 each toward the ne
construction. About 80 of these men
had been enlisted at the hour noted
above. The canvas for smaller sub
scriptions had not been pushed but
above $4,000 In amounts less than
$50. 90 each had been secured.
