bill that has just been introduced in
both the house and the senate of oon-
gress by Senator Borah and Congress-
man French, for it deals directly with
tho formation and completion of irriga-
ton projects in this and other arid
states, adding restricting legislation
and seeking to prevent such disastrous
failures that have heretofora resulted
on some projects. Senator Borah and
Congressman French were given the
bills to be introduced on request. Con-
gresham French, in q letter to his
constituents here, frankly stated that
the bill did not originate with either
Senator Borah or himself, but they are
anxious to have It freely discussed
here.
The measure as introduced in tho
house Is known as house bill No.

the committee on irrigation and arid
lands.

"The state should look to the we'll

BOUNTlES ILLEGAL

If the construction placed on the
bounty law by Judge Carl A. Davis of
the Third judicial court for Ada
county, wherein he holds that the
state livestock and sanitary board
has no right to offer or pay bounty
on heads or scalps OF predatory wild
animals, is correct, there has been
unlawfully drawn from the funds of
this state on the order CT that board
total during the past three years
Or since Jan. &C. 1911, up to the pre-
sent time, of $50, 053.6S.
Since March 20, 1913, warrants have
been ordered drawn by the board in
the payment 'of bounties totaling
$35, 722.40.
Section 1885 of tho revised codes
provides:
''The board of county commissioners
of each county shall, upon a petition
of one-fCurth CT the qualifi> d voters
who are taxpayers of tho county, fix
and determine the bounty fer the de-
struction Of each coyote, wildcat, fox,
lynx, bear, squirrel, rabbit, gopher,
muskrat and nodoscript and badger,
and to prescribe rules for making
proof of such bounty: provided, that
in no case shall the bounty for rab-
bits, gophcrs or squirrels be more
than five. cents for each animal de-
stroyed.'
Section 1886, which was amended by
the last legislature, provides for the
tax levy to pay the bounties. Section
1897 provides for the proof of claims
which must be furnished to the
county commissioners" No mention
is made in these sections OF the
state livestock Or sanitary board
giving it power to authorize tho pay
ment of bounties The last legisla
ture and previous legislatures in face
of this fact made appropr, ations fol

SUNDAY SCHOOLS MAKE
FOR GOOD CITIZENSHIP

The true test for a civilization is
the men it makes. Israel bred men
who perceived that righteousness ex-
altath a nation, and the Hebrew peo-
pie have not persisted from the earth,
though Chaldsau, Greek, Egyptian and
Roman civilizations that failed of this
perception have rotteM into ruins.
American, English and German civil
cation is shot through and through
with moral ideals, and these make
men whose loyalty to duty has been
a chief force in gaining the headship
Of the modern world for these nations.
This informing of national life with
ethical standards and this perception
Of mans and peoples need for
righteousness are not won without ef-
fort. There has to be moral and reli-
gious teaching, especially instruction
of the young. Here is where the Sun
day school of tho Christian nations
enters the field and performs invalu-
foundations Of society and helping to
build the nation.
1t takes the child while life is still
in blade and leaf, and interests it in
some .of the noblest characters, most
inspiring truths and most interesting
incidents in history. In their behalf
it engages the talent and service,
time and strength. Of millions of de.
voted and intelligent workers. It sup.
plies the missing but indispensable
element in the education supplied by
the state-that Of moral and religious
training. It molds the young spirit
that is as malleable as wax and
shapes it into a character Of integrity
and adherence to principle
The worth Of such work to society
and the state is incalculable. Every
year in every community the Sunday
school graduates throngs Of such
youth as make good citizens. Public
and business men realize the value ol
this contribution. President Wilson
has declared that ''to the child nc
study is more important than study
of the Bible and it's truth" Mr.. Taft
that Sunday school education is alb
solutely necessary; Judge Fawcett

BRADY DRAFTING
FARM LOAN BILL

United States Senator James H.
Brady is now drafting a bill to create
land mortgage banks along the coop
erative rural credit system and has
written letters to his constituency in
this state 50 informing them and ask
ing for suggestions along this line.
He states in his letters that he favors
some systam that will give the far
mer and tho man who furnishes the se
curity for loans, the same advantage
that is given to the banking house
or corporation.
In his letter Senator Brady says:
My Dear Sir: Last March congress
passed an act authorizing the presi-
dent to appoint a commission to in.
vestigate and study in Europe, coop
erative land mortgage banks, COOP
erative rural credit unions and similar
organizations and institutions, de-
voting their attention to the promo
ton of agriculture and the betterment
Of rural conditions.
The members Of this commission,
while in Europe, visited Italy. Hun
gary, Austria, Russia, Denmark.
Belgium, Holland. France, England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland, consult
ing with leading authorities in each
country, interviewing all classes, gov
eminent authorities, farmersj officers
and empoyes Of institutions, study
ing carefully all phases of these ques-
lions, and made report to congress
which contains valuable information
and numerous suggestions relative to
rural life and agricultural credits.
take pleasure in sending you a
copy Of the report under separate
cover. and hope you will find time to
read it carefully and let me know
your opinion of the same, together
with any suggestions you may wish
to make along these lines. This re-
port is simply the findings Of seven
men and their views are not final,
Several suggestions, l believe, can be
improved in a way that will material
ly benefit the farmer and the agricul
turist
Under the terms of the banking and
currency bill, just passed, the gov
eminent loans money to bankers on
security furnished by the farmer and
the business man. While the farmers
furnish the security, the other fellow
gets the interest l favor some sys-
tenn that will give the farmer and
the man who furnishes the security
the same advantage that is given to
the banking corporation. 1t seems to
me that this is only just and fair, and
l am now trying to formulate a bill
along those lines. l shall, therefors,
appreciate any suggestions you may
wish to make which you think will DO
beneficial in the task l am undertake
ing. Yours very truly,

case of James T. Jones. colored. who
was tried for an alleged violation of the

Attorney Collins. counsel for the de-
fendant. gave notice of motion for a
new trial. and until that motion is dis
posed and sentence passed, it is stated,
the case probably will not be called to
the attention of the public printer.
The case was prosecuted by Assistants
Williams and Whiteford of Corporation
Counsel Symes staff. Lula Pollen.
public school teacher, was the complain
ant. The prosecution sought to prove
five instances in which the defendant
$50 to s110.
1t was in evidence that a charge of
$3.50 a month was made on a $50 loan
while the charge for the sl1O loan for
eleven months was $lS. Inc defendant
denied that he was in the business of
loaning money and claimed that in the
$110 transaction he merely purchased the
notes.
A witness called by the prosecution
stated that Jones had asked him to
see certain witnesses for the prosecution
in an effort to induce them not to testify.
His testimony was denied by the
defendant.
Counsel for the defendant called his
clients father to the witness stand. and
the witness stated that he was a body

the Confederacy, and exhibited a cane
that Mrs Davis he stated, presented to
him.
1t is probable that a written motion
for new trial will be filed next week.
It is the intention of the prosecuting Of

date and to ask for the imposition OF
