EXEMPTION REPEAL
Declares Question Should
Be Submitted to Arbitra-
tion-Colonel to Give One
Lecture Before His De-
parture for Spain.

Oyster Bay, May 2o.-Colonel Roose-
Welt plunged into work today. IL hours
after he returned from South America.
He looks forward to one of the hardest
political campaigns in his career. Ex-
cept for the time he Is absent at the
wedding of his son, Kermit, he expects
to devote to politics most Of his time
until November. George w. Perkins,
chairman of the Progressive national
committee, and 0. K Davis. secretary,
are due hero today to report the situa-
ton. The colonel criticized the Wilson
Administrations attitude on the con-
troversy with Colombia and expressed
himself as opposed to the repeal of the
law for the exemption Of coastwise
ships from Panama canal tolls. He
would arbitrate the question.
Tho colonel will go to his office In
New York tomorrow and spend most Of
the day meeting political associates.
Condemns Colombian Treaty.
Speaking of the Colombian controv-
ersy he said that the payment of $25.-
100000 was blackmail and continued:
In submitting to this 1t is just as
though some future president of the
United States should apologize to the
successor of Huerta for the seizure of
Vera Cruz, as for the payment of s25.
900, 900 to Colombia" Here the colonel
threw up his hands, saying: WELL
that Is unthinkable" He said, in speak
ing of the tolls repeal, that he thought
1t perfectly right to arbitrate the ques-
ton If the rights of this country to
grant exemption were questioned but
he declared to yield the point un-
equivocally without arbitration was in
defensiTble as he was convinced the
United States was within it's rights in
freeing coastwise ships from tolls pay
ment. Colonel Roosevelt, in speaking
Of the trip, said 1t was pretty hard
going for a few weeks. The rations
ran short and they got down to eating
monkeys, which the colonel declared
could hardly be considered delicacy.
However, he said. he was hardly well
enough to eat anything.
Return of Roosevelt.
Oyster Bay. N. Y, May 20.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt set foot on his native
soil at $40 o'clock last night for the
first time in seven months His home
coming was quiet affair, in sharp
contrast with the noisy welcome he
| received when all New York turned out
| to greet him on his return from Africa
four years ago.
A group of 30 persons, old friends
and relatives, stood quietly on the
beach at the cove of Owyster bay. Just
down the hill from Colonel Roosevelt's
home. The former president, leaning on
eane and assisted by two men, toiled
slowly up the gangway from the land
ing place. 1t was something of shock
to his old friends, to whom his un-
usual physical vigor had been al
ways source of wonder. to note the
change. ~ o.
But although Colonel Roosevelt had
paid this penalty for his researches In
the jungle he gave no sign of change in
his manner. His voice had the same
ring as ever, his gestures were as Wig.

were not having enough to say as to
who their servants should be and so the
direct primary was evolved. This Ger.
tainly would correct every evil, but
after six years OF that law, we hear
that we haye the most useless and ex-
travagant officials we ever had. If
these charges be true, then popular
government must be failure for there
is no reason to believe that we can do
any better in the future than
in the past. Fortunately they
are not true. The people have
been served with very fair degree of
honesty and efficiency and they will
never be served any better under our
present system.
Morals, honesty and ability are not
measured by party politics and if you
hope to reduce taxes along party par
tisan political lines, you are doomed to
disappointment. The substitution of
one set of men for another for political
reasons would make no difference ex-
cept that the new men would be unfa-
miliar with their duties and would be
comparatively useless until they had
familiarized themselves with their
work.
On all sides of us we see the folly OF
assuming that public business will be
conducted better by one set of political
partisans than another. The extreme
ly progressive states of Oregon and
Washington are groaning under the
same excessive taxes that we have
Utah, which is rock-ribbed, conserv
alive, stand pat state has far lower
taxes than either of the states men
toned; Wisconsin, another progressive
state, has very high taxes, the New
England states, always republican till
last year, have low taxes, but the never
changing democratic states of the
south have the lowest of all. Canada

political parties, has far lower take.

The Making of the Flag.
By FRANKLIN X. LANE, Secretary OF the Interior

This morning, as passed into the
land office, the flag dropped on me
most cordial salutation and from its rip
ping folds heard it say: Good morn
ing, Mr.. Flag Maker
al beg your pardon, Old Glory" |
said, "you are mistaken. am not the
President of the United States, nor a
member of Congress, nor even a gen
eral in the army. l am only govern
ment clerk.
'Well you helped to clear that patent
for the hopeful inventor in New York
or pushed the opening of that new
ditch in Colorado or made that mine in
Illinois more safe, or brought relief to
the old soldier in Wyoming. No matter
whichever one of these beneficent
individuals you happen to be, give
you greeting, Mr.. Flag Maker.
yesterday the Congress spoke a
word which will open the door of Alas
ka, but mother in Michigan worked
from sunrise far into the night to
give her boy an education. She, too,
is making the flag. Yesterday we
made a new law to prevent financial
panics; yesterday, no doubt, school
teacher in Ohiotaught his first letters
to boy who will write song that will
give cheer to the millions of our race.
We are all making the flag"
"But," l said impatiently, "these
people were only working"
Then came great shout about the
flag.
"Let me tell you who am.
"The work that we do is the making
of the real flag.
81 am not the flag, not at all. an
but its shadow.
II am whatever you make me, moth
ing more.
II am your belief in yourself, youl
dream Of what people may become.
II live changing life Of moods ant
passions, of heart breaks and tiret
muscles.
Sometimes l am strong with pride
when men do an honest work, fitting
the rails together truly.
Sometimes l droop, for then pur
pose has gone from me and cynically
play the coward.

The Useful Mule.

The mule is the most tireless worker
of all draft animals. 1t eats less than Il
horse, but does more work on his feed.
The feet of the mule stand hard roads
better than those of the horse. Mules
are ready for work younger than
horses. They are able to endure as
much at two years as colt will at three
or four. Mules are just as gentle as
horses if they have not been spoiled in
the breaking. A mule will bring from
$50 to $3.50 when he is full grown, if he
is big and strong.

Lenorc Farmer InsaRe.

Fritz Plonus, a pioneer farmer of
this section, residing near Lenore, was
adjudged insane Monday and sent to
the state sanitarium. Sunday Mr.. Plo-
nus took two shots at Fred Choate, as
the latter was passing the Plonus farm,
one shot coming close to his intended
victim. A year ago Plonus, while in
Orofino, hearing someone speak his
name, went to the Republican office
and inserted local offering IS reward
for the man who insulted him.

Save Skim Milk.

Dairymen, do not throw out old, sour
skim milk if there is an available mar
ket for chicken feed. BY heating such
skim milk to 1SO deg. F. the curd will
be thrown out in an easily drained
form. This can be sold for about three
cents per pound, wholesale, for the
feeding of ch C ,ens. The high protein
and ash content of the kim milk curd
makes it concentrated feed. 1t ap-
proximates the feeding value OF beef
scrap for chickens, according to the
station poultryman. Beef-scrap costs
about five cents wholesale. From this
comparison one can see the nutritive
value of this simple. prepared food foi
the use of chickens. R. A. AMSON.

cent and the total of taxes and penalty
to bear interest at the rate of eighteen
per cent. For example if your taxes is
an even 500, the penalty $40 and then
on the sum of these the interest for a
year is $3.50, msking the AMOUNT you
eve at the end of year $l29.8O, total
interest rate of practically 30 per cent,
which is worse than you are treated by
the three ball man. If you are prompt
in payment of your taxes you are pen
allied anyhow. Why should there be
penalty compelling you to pay all
your taxes before they are needed or
suffer a loss Of four per cent? The
money for the support of the govern
ment belongs to the people. II is theirs
individually until needed and then it is
theirs collectively. maintain there is
no better place for the peoples money
than their pockets until needed for the
cost Of government. The repeal Of the
penalty feature should be the first
step in tax reform when the matter is
again before the legislature.
You have probably gathered from
what have said thus far that l see lit
tie prospect Of improving the tax stu
alton, by any scheme of reducing ex
penses of government as the people dc
not seem to be ready for that. Nearly
all of the discussion l hear relates tt

the workingmen's compensation act as
worked out by special committee

Assessn ent Rolls Completed.

Assessor Blake turned over the tax
ro, to the county auditor Saturday
evening, showing a valuation for the
county for 1874 of $11,46),00O, as
against q, ,4O3,271 for 1918. This is an
increase of 3j per cent. over 1919, and
317 per cent, according to the assessor,
over 1910.
In Latah county the cruise gives an
increase OF about 80 per cent in timber
valuations over 1914, but the roll have
not yet been completed and the actual
figures are not available. But it shows
that the efforts on the part of Pat
Blake to take credit for increased valu,
ations are mere rot, since Latah county
with republican county board, and 8
republican assessor, is serving the peo
pie just as well, and not wasting the
taxes after they have been collected.

The C0ldest December.

The squirrels. birds and other Great.
ures of nature whose instincts have
caused them to prophecy a 'hard''

their prophesies, for the weather bu
reaus in all the nearby cities have rec
orded this week the coolest December
in twenty or o years.

Monday and Tuesday were topped with
snow apparently three inches deep
though only a trace was visible here
Tuesday was as clear as a bell but the
governments thermometer had regis
tered a minimum temperature during
the night of Is degrees above zero, and
though it got some warmer during the
day it again registered Is during the

this weather has been the death Of

doubt that the natural progress Of this
pest was impeded by the cold winters
several years ago and was ayear, prob
ably two, in reaching this section.

of life that have representation in Ma

That characteristic of hers that made
her, as the saying is, "nice to every
