ONLY THREE OBSTACLES;
GOOD TIMES HERE RIGHT NOW.
lFrom Caldwell Tribunel


There are only three obstacles to
an era of prosperity and development
in Idaho They are high taxes, poll
tics and jack rabbits. Following Gus
tom of discussion of high taxes will
gradually subside. From the first
Monday IT. January until the middle
of February is the open season for
the discussion of high taxes. After
the middle of February the taxpayer
generally becomes reconciled and lets
it go as a bad business disposed Of
for the time being. It is too early
for politics but the aftermath of high
taxes is politics. They will be dis
eussed for a month and then we will
have a rest until the middle of the
summer. One reassuring feature is
the fact that during all the talk the
jack rabbit has been slaughtered in
vast numbers. Hundreds of thousands
have been killed during the past three
months.
The outlook for the year is becom-
ing brighter, The Oregon Short Line
is preparing to complete the work of
double tracking its line between Poca-
tello and Huntington. 1t also has a
number of other improvements pro-
vided for. The extension of the Bull
Nyssa line and the new passenger
depot at Pocatello are Improvements
that will be under way within a short
time. The state is pushing affairs in
connection with a number of Carey
act projects and work will be resumed
on these within a comparatively short
time.
The farmers have received good
prices for all the products of the farm.
During the past three or four years
they have stocked their farms with
sheep, cattle, hogs and horses and the
live stock exports of the state will be
much greater in the future than in the
past The swine industry of Idaho is
becoming a great industry. The dairy,
horticulture and agriculture indus
tries are growing as rapidly as the
swine industry With everybody pro-
ducing it will be but few years until
Idaho viii be the richest state in the
union. It should not be forgotten that
the mines and forests and farms Of
north Idaho are keeping pace with the
industries of south Idaho.
When the jack rabbits are wiped
out; high taxes done away with; and
the discussion of politics confined to
a few months each year, Idaho will be
a paradise.
