HASTE AND WASTE IN ALL THINGS.

The haste and waste of the American peo-
pie are proverbial. They are guided too much
by their feeling rather than their judgment. This
reflection is brought to mind at the present time
by the thousands of unemployed throughout the
country. Whatever may be the present condi-
ton there is no question in the minds of the pub
lie about the future. Now would be the time to
put the unemployed at work on necessary pub
lie improvements. Our policy should be to I'M
dertake public work at times of depression. By
so doing we would save money directly on the
work and render society an incalcuble benefit.
Our policy is to rush public work when private
business is expanding and general industry is
active. The result is high wages and overtime
work followed by periods of low wages and idle
ness. In periods when labor is employed gen
orally only the most urgent public work should
be undertaken. When labor is not generally
employed necessary public improvements should
be made.
As we have not followed the policy in the
past we are unable to do anything at the present
time. In the future, however, the policy sug-
gested above should be followed.
If Caldwell had awaited until this year to
lay her pavements, build her sidewalks, con-
struct her sewers and extend the water system,
taxes would have been lower; labor would now
be employed; good times would prevail. We
would not know from personal experience that
the country was undergoing great economic and
financial changes. The depression and hest
fancy incidental to such changes would not be
felt locally at the present time. The gradual re-
adjustment would have taken place without the
present tightness of money and distressing
times.

THE SPENDING OF THE FUND.

Disguise his feelings as best he can every
business man knows that deep in his heart he
feels that rs per cent. of his donation to the
publicity Fund" is wasted. We believe that
the feeling that exists is not well substantiated,
but while that feeling does exist the committee
that raises the next fund will have to have a
clear and definite plan of expenditure or else
fail to raise reasonable amount of money. The
fund has dwindled from 100000 per annum to
100000 with the prospects Of further reduc-
ton. Mr.. II. j. Zeh, who does more real think
ing than most of us, has an idea in mind that
will appeal to- the business instincts of the people
of Caldwell. He would raise the fund as in
years gone by but expend as little as possible
upon publicity work; promoting million dollar
projects and otherwise investing in blue sky. He
would create fund which would be loaned to
some practical man or men who would interest
themselves in some needed industry, without in
terest for two or three years. For instance, we
need cannery. He would find some man who
would put enough OF his own money into the can
merry to become interested in its permanent sue
cess. He would loan to this man 100000 with
ont interest for three years, for instance, and
thus allow him to get his business on a sound
footing. After it was established he could pay
back the amount loaned which would be used in
helping in the establishment or financing of
another industry. The subscribers to the fund
would continue to make their donations and in
afew years we would always have available
fund with which to promote any worthy under
taking. 1t is now four years since the one fund
was. started in this city The Tribune believed
that it was good Investment Notwithstanding
the fact that we have raised and spent thirteen
or fourteen thousand dollars and have very little
to show for it, The business men would have
donated the money in one way or another and
would have had less to show for it than we now
have All of this money cannot be pat into Wis
lble improvements but there is no reason why a
fair per cent Of it could not be so placed
The virtue of the idea of Mr. Zeh lays in the
fact that we are all the time helping needed in
dustries in practical and substantial manner

THOSE DODGE CITY YOUNG PEOPLE.

Forty young women of Dodge City, Kansas,
have organized a "GOod Habits club. They
have taken vow to decline the attentions of
young men who smoke, swear, drink intoxicating
liquors or gamble: The young men retaliated
with an ukase against rats, drug store complex
ions and slit skirts There is little likelihood
that the vows of the former or the edict of the
latter will hold for any length of time, or expand
to, any great extent else marriage will become
a lost custom.
:. The idea of the young women is good but
1t goes too far If they would confne their at
tention to the greater evils of drinking and
gambling, they would at least have with them
sound public sentiment Swearing may be
senseless habit and smoking disgusting, but
neither calls for heroic treatment On the other
hand primpng and painting and following the
fashion are not to be condemned ex parte. No
one likes trump any more than they do a mol
l Ig or a fat man, The youth of both sex
can accomplish great deal in the reformation
OF the other, but they should condemn the grayer
and more serious habits of the other. Drink
ing, gambling and libertinage on the one side
and extravaganza, nagging and Incidence ON the
otner are habits well worth roofing out. When
MINOR ones are taken too seriously efforts to
suppress greater ones provoke contempt.

THE OBSERVATORY.


l had the pleasure of meeting. Mr..
Sisson, the new head of our educa-
tional affairs in Idaho. He is an in
teresting man, and, apparently, has
the happy faculty of grasping the main
point of subject quickly. When he
learned in the course of our CONVEX
sation that my home was in Canyon
county, he spoke of its leadership in
many good things, and asked me 1t
knew how many students we had IN
the state educational institutions, and
showed me a tally-sheet with the NUM-
Der from each county, it appearing
that in 1928 we sent 70 students to
the state schools and University,
which is more than any other county
except three, in which are located
state institutions; and ii we add the
College of Idaho students to that ~,
Canyon will have. total OF 1874, be-
ing second only to Latah, which has
1871. That is fine showing for our
county, the effect of which is sure to
show itself in years to come in lead
ership in many ways; and we may
we'll be thankful that the moral and
religious sentiment keeps pace with
the educational. One, if not the,
chief cause for this fact is our pos
session of the College of Idaho, and
of its beloved and honored President
Boone.

THE MUNICIPAL BUSINESS
MANAGER.
THE

MANY small cities and towns
+brouqhout the United States whose
citizens desire up-to-date methods in
running their municipalities are en-
blowing business managers whose
duty it is to run the towns or Guys
affairs in much the same way that a
business manager would run a big
mercantile establishment. I'he idea
of a business manager in looking at
ter municipal affairs comes from Ger
MANY. where most of the small towns
and cities have such officials. These
managers are not chosen for any po-
litical reasons but instead for their
ability to conduct all affairs of the
town or city in a businesslike man
ner. Already several towns and cit
les of this country have adopted this
method and the latest town to decide
on this plan is Glencoe, ILL.,, one OF
the leading and best known suburbs
of Chicago.
Glencoe is beautiful suburb whose
residents are mostly men who are well
I'D in the business world of Chicago,
and it is only natural that they should
prefer the business manager plan in
the conduct of the municipal affairs
of the suburb. Glencoe village trus-
tees advertised for business manager
and no less than $50 applications were
received. Mr.. Gill, chairman of the
village board, in outlining the duties
of the new manager, compared thes
city governed by a manager to any
big business hrm-its citizens as stock
holders and its trustees as directors.
1t is apparent that the idea of BUSH
ness manager to conduct municipal
affairs is one that will grow in pop
ularity.
When business men of town come
to the conclusion that the affairs of
the municipality should be conducted
in a business way they are consider
ing one of the most important phases
of community development. When
town is improved in its government
it is improved as a place in which to
trade. On the other hand, the town
that does get the trade of its own
people and community is likely to be
the best town in government and in
everything else.-American Lumber
man.

THE ANSWER

Apropos of Senator Depew's decla-
ration that in his young days in
Peekskill marriages were very happy
and comfortable on $1,000 or so a
year, Millicent NJ. Atwood, in an anti
suffragist address in Baltimore, said:
"The cost of living is higher now
than in Mr.. Depew's young days, and
it is impossible for Bryn Mawr or
Vassar girl to live a happy married
life on $1,000 year.
"a Vassar girl once refused a $40
a-week bank clerk, He groaned and
said:
You wiring my heart
I'd rather wiring your heart than
wiring your clothes, the Vassar girl
calmly answered. Chicago Record

OVERCOME THE PROBLEM BY DYING

By dying you could overcome Che problem
OF the high cost OF living so far as you are con-
cerned. By eliminating every officer, board
and commissioner not absolutely necessary to
the conduct of the executive and judicial func-
tions OF the state" as suggested by a bright
young man you can certainly reduce the taxes.
There are lots of ways by which you might re-
duce taxes. You could do away with free pub
lie schools, abandon the state university,
close the asylums for the insane and finally kill
the direct primary law Then you can in
crease taxes by instituting "social Justice, -
utilizing the initiative, referendum and recall,
and finally, by turning the state over to the
Progressive party. No one that we know of
seriously advocates these methods of either in
creaslng or decreasing the taxes except the Bull
MOosers themselves.
Such superficial views are not to be ser
lously considered. You might as we'll tell the
people that if they want to reduce the cost of
living they must go back to the talow candle
and hickory shirt. They could undoubtedly
make the reduction but at such Expense in
comfort. convenience and health that the sug-
gestion is ridiculous
The high taxes do not. come from the ex-
pense of maintaining the state govern
ment as any one can see by glancing at his tax
receipt II luckily he possesses one. If Cald-
well dld not contribute one cent to the state her
taxes would still be out of all reason. It is the
local units OF government that are costly. IF
you are assessed with property to the amount
OF 100000 you pay the following amounts
