what Monopoly Does to Us.
We all observe how the trusts
are constantly advancing the cost
of living.
The owners of these trusts and
|monopolies virtually decide how
much we shall pay for our bread
and our meat, how much for our
Kerosene and our coal, and how
much we are to spend for our food
j clothing, houses, etc.
They also decide what wages we
shall receive and the. con dttions OF
our labor. In other words, the
trusts decide how we'll or how
poorly we are to live, or whether
we live at all or not.

And the wage workers are ny

These conditions are before our

And what remedy do the old po-

Now the old parties are owned

THE REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK.

The council has caused to be published in the
official newspaper of the city, the Caldwell
News, the annual report of Clerk Dunlap for
which the taxpayers of the city should be very
grateful. This is the most comprehensive and
intelligent report on city finances that it has
been the pleasure of The Tribune to read. Pre-
decessors of Clerk Dunlap, very likely made
similar reports to the mayor and council, but to
the best of our knowledge they were given scant
publicity. Without detracting from the merits
or challenging the completeness of other reports
we can truthfully say that this is the best one
that has come to our attention. The report
shows in detail the source of all money and also
how it was disposed of A careful study of the
report will enable any taxpayer to know where
every dollar of his money goes The average
man can get fair idea of where economy can
be practised with the least inconvenience If
the people of Caldwell want to lower their taxes
they can now point out the things they are will
ling to do without Injuries. 1t is the same with
the high cost of living We are still afraid that
the people of this community will insist upon
the Injuries
According to the published report the total
receipts of the year were 1856, 1906 Of this
amount $51 ,349.13 went to paying the running
expense of the city The balance went toward
paying off bonds and interest or yet remains in
the hands of the city treasurer. There was a
balance on hand May 4, 1914, of $51, 1922 The
bonds have been issued and they and the inter
est on them must be paid There is only one
place at which economy may be practsed
and that is in the running expenses
of these departmental expenditures should be
made by every taxpayer. We give below a few
of the totals of the more expensive departments
but urge the reader to procure the report in full

HOW 1T HITS THE
AMERICAN FARMERS
Free-Trade Means Increases in I'm
ports and Big Decrease in Export.
(Washinpton Post.)

washington BoSt.
In an official statement, the Depart
ment of Commerce frankly admits
that there has been a large increase
in food imports under the Under
wood Simmons Tariff law and a cor
responding decrease in food exports.
In March, 1914. when the new low
Tariff was in full operation, the i'm
ports in foodstuffs were valued at
more than $24,000,000, as against only
$l7, 100000 in March, 1918, when the
farmers of the United States were
still doing business under the Payne
Aldrich act.
The significance of these figures
will not be lost upon the farmers of
the United States. No class of men
is so mindful of its own interest as
the agricultural population for poll
teal purposes in their oranges, and
yet they make little noise before the
elections. When the time comes they
register their approval or disapproval
of the party in power with crushing
effect.
The Republican party learned its
lesson when the Canadian reciprocity
agreement was passed by Congress.
There seemed to be little cohesion in
the protests that came from the agri-
cultural regions at the time the bill
was under consideration, but the
farmers of the country, with charac-
teristic jealousy of their own inter
ests, spoke more harshly and surely
at the Congressional elections which
followed, marking the ascendency of
the Democratic party.
Appeals to prejudice or passion
make little impression upon the phleg-
matte farmer. He is a close student
of economics so far as his own pocket
book is concerned. He is now inform
ed by the Department of Commerce
that foreign interests sold $6,500,000
more foodstuffs last March than in
March of the previous year. He
knows that the same amount of Am
erican farm products must have been
displaced
Furthermore, the American farmer
is now told that in addition to his loss
in the domestic market he lost So
100000 in the foreign trade, as shown
by the drop in exports. Therefore
the total loss to the Aemrican farmer
in March, 1914, was $13,200,O0O He
will chalk that UP against the Demo-
cratic party and give his opinion of it
at the polls.

real education commences. A boy spends from
eight to twelve years in school and as net re-
suit can read indifferently, spell poorly, write
illegibly and figure incorrectly. James J. Hill
is not the only world-famous man who called at
tention to the general incompetency of the high
school graduate. These graduates are bright,
energetic, determined boys and girls Their
TEACHERS are worthy men and women. Such be-
ing the case it necessarily follows that the sys-
tenn employed is wrong.
The trouble with our school system is that it
attempts to ape the academies and colleges. 1t

mathmatics and. has not time for fundamentals

French who cannot dramatically construct half

PROGRESSIVE PROCESSES IN
POWER.

The Lewiston Tribune recently
published an editorial under the head
ing Progressive Processes in Their
Full Flower" which dealt with the de-
plorable condition of affairs in Colo
RADIO. The Tribune is unable to fix
the responsibility for present condi-
tons in this turbulant, strike-ridden
lawleSs state but says:
The most deplorable and discour-
againg aspect of it is that Colorado
has taken first rank as a reform state.
1t has sutfragism, initiativism, recall
ism, and every other sort of ism yet
devised for the purpose of purifying
government and letting the people
rule. 1t appears that having procured
those processes the people have felt
that the loudest-mouthed champions
OF theoretical reform were the sort to
whom the power and honor should
be given, regardless of previous fit
ness. character or ability. And there
in comes the initial fallacy of the new
school OF political thought. Whoever
can preach the particular doctrine of
the moment in the most stentorian
tones is forthwith put up to exemplifv
that doctrine in public office, although.
usually, such exhorter is known by
sensible people to be wholly incompe-
tent and unworthy of any position of
public responsibility and trust The
state OF colorado is overrun with apos-
ties of that ilk, who four years ago or
four years hence would not be re-
garded as capable candidates for
sheep herders, but under the present
dispensation they are set up in high
places as magistrates, as law-givers.
as custodians of the public honor and
power. First-rate men can seldom be
elected to any considerable office un-
der the new order, for the simple rea-
son that they will not stoop to decep-
ton and intrigue in order to win

AND THE BRASS
BAND PLAYED

The Salt Lakers, with their wizard
wailing like lost soul, arrived in
Parma on almost schedule time short
ly after high noon yesterday There
were in the neighborhood of IS of
the Saints" and their band was along
likewise.
The excursion was not the only
event, however, at that hour, as there
was wedding in town. But, the we'd
ding being private affair, the great
majority of Parna's populace were
interested in the public function-the
arrival of the excursion train and the
band. In eager anticipation the
throngs awaited the train with its
excellent corps ot music ians.
But the "higherups" said: otis the
bard for us. Let the rabble be cor
tent with the wall of the wizard" and
they forthwith did kidnap said band
and transport it, drums, horns and all
to the presence of the newlyweds,
where over three score of the elect
enjoyed the music until time for the
departure of the excursion.
Thus was Parma cheated out of an
open air concert which many looked
forward to for fortnight. In char
ity though, for the Parma higher
ups" there may have been one ex-
tenuating reason for their action, and
that would have been their regard for
Salt Lake sentiment, as everyone
knows that if there is anything more
interesting to Mormon than a we'd
ding it is more weddings.
But whatever the reason, the action
did not allay the poignant feeling of
disappointment SO generally appar-
ent.
One Parma boy was heard to say:
II thought we were going to hear a
band play. I'll bet the Parma band
can beat all that we heard" And the
kid would have won his bet.-Parma
Herald.

told him he shouldn't go to work in

not been in her right mind for a while
so Caesar paid no attention to her.

THE VACANCY SHOULD BE FILLED.

We presume that President Wilson is ready
to fill the vacancy at the Boise land office as soon
as the warning factions of the Democratic party
OF Idaho can agree upon man. These factions
should get together at once on this important
matter. There are hundreds of settlers who are
at a great inconvenience and at some loss OF
money by reason of the vacancy. They cannot
transact their business, and, in consequence, in
may instances cannot conclude loans they have
negotiated. Much more delay will result in dis
aster to Hawley or Nugent, whichever happens
to receive the Democratic nomination for the
United States senate. These settlers feel that
these men should lay aside their differences un-
der the circumstances If they are unwilling
to do this President Wilson should get an Idaho
directory and appoint someone at hazard.
The leaders Of the Democratic party in this
state know the conditions on thousands of home
steads. They are both eloquent in their praise
deep in their sympathy; and forceful in their
expression; when addressing these homestead
ers. When it comes to making an appointment
party advantage seems to be the paramount is
sue in their minds. We say this seems to be the
case. Perhaps it has not occurred to either that
the vacancy is causing needless hardship. We
trust that the latter is the case and that one or
the other will arise to the occasion. He will not
suffer in the end by so doing.
