WORDS OF CHEER FOR BLACK CANYON
SETTLERS.
Secretary Lane has changed his mind about the obi
CATION of the toward the settlers on the
Black Canyon project He admits that there IS an
obligation that the project should be considered
already started and he promises undertake it in case
Congress grants the Reclamation Service loan This
all that settlers asked They knew that an
obligation existed and all times felt confident that Sec
rotary Lane would recognize the facts prop
erly presented to him. Some has finally presented
the facts in the right and proper manner We suspect
that the committee composed of prominent Canyon
County citizens entitled great share OF the credit
1t might be that Mr.. Will R. King instrumental in
securing favorable attention At the present time Sena
tor Brady is accredited with large share of the glory
by reason the fact that Secretary Lane fit to make
his change of mind and present intentions through
Senator Brady In any event there is credit and glory
enough for all.
The Tribune has always held Mr.. Secretary Lane in
high esteem On many occasions have voiced our
admiration and respect for him. We naturally feel good
that judgment of the man is vndicated Far above
all this however is the qualification feel in the relief
of the settlers this magnificent tract of land Pros
pery is about come to them after many years OF pa
thence, hardshps and dsappointments.
The reclamation of this of land means much to
this entire section of Idaho 1t much to settlers
ON other tracts it does to the settlers on this 1t
means much to Caldwell Nampa Middleton, Parma.
Payete New Plymouth and Emmett 1t means the pros
perity of us ALL
THE WAR is SPREADING.
i Japan has declared Germany. Austria has de-
cared war on Japan Italy and probably Turkey cannot
escape the great Perhaps before many weeks
the smaller nations of Europe will be drawn into the
struggle At present only the nations of the western
hemisphere peace with Europe and with each other
Our greatest effort should be to maintain the present
status We cannot stop the war in Europe We VIII do
i we'll if We not ourselves involved.
President Wilson has shown statesmanlke grasp
of the situation both in his address the American
pie and in his transactions with the nations of Europe
At this time the patriotic duty of every American
citizen by word and action uphold the President He
the dangers and has taken and will take every step
in his power to avert disaster.
We may disagree with the President internal affairs
yes even on some foreign affairs like his Mexican policy
but wherever and whenever he outlines his European
policy stand behind him. In this crisis President
Wilson's policy Of consideration for and fair treatment
all nations should be the policy of each and one
of us Prejudice for against nations should not be
&; too warmly expressed where keenly felt Each
individual should conduct himself President Wilson
is trying to conduct the nation whole.

hi STATE TAX COMMISSION BUSY AGAIN
v The commission has made its report to tn
state board of equalization and deserved the
e concentrations turned down in great many III
stances The present commission is something of
II Joke except when its expense accounts filed TIL

county assessors and farmers of the in dee
r. collision in an effort deraud the state the expens
e of the timber interests Nary report issues without

and other property be decreased This always

up the inconsistencies in the recommendations OF tn
