McMEEKIN ITEMS

A movement has bee. on foot TO
consolidate the schools of Keuka.
Johnson and McMekin. This move
ment did not start at McMeekin, as
we expect to become a special tax
sub-district. To consolidate would
require three teams to convey the
children to and from the school, and
the outlay of the sum necessary to do
this, (three teams at cost of at least
$50 per monh each) could be used
to better advantage. If this sum was
used in equipment for the schools as
they are now situated the results
would be far greater than could be
obtained by hauling children in wag-
ons, which would be lost time to them,
as we'll as lost time to the state and
county, and without a loo kto the fu-
ure.

HOLlISTFR MAN COMING
.. z. Duyall Going Into Real Estate
Business In Twin Falls.

HOLSTER is losing two Of its pio--
neer residents in the removal of the,
Duvall family to Twin Falls, where.
Mr.. Duvall will engage in the real
estate business with J. S. Keel, a
well known realty man of that CITY.
Mr.. Duvall has been engaged in the
real estate business in HOLSTER since.
the beginning Of the town, being a.
member OF the firm, the HOLSTER Re-
atty company, in which Mr.. Duvall and
z. K. Detwiler were partners. Mr.. Du-
vail has served the community in the
capacity OF Justice of the Peace and on
the school board, Of which he was
formerly secretary and is at the pres
ent time chairman. Mr.. and Mrs Du-
wallis friends on the tract are glad that.
they have moved no farther away than
Twin Falls. The Duvall home in
HOLSTER is one Of the first modern
houses to be built in the city. -Hol-

pie in both the matter of efficiency
and expense. The voters will jump at
the chance to adopt such an amend
ment and then the representatives
from the several counties can meet, as
the board of directors of the large
corporations meet, and consider dis
passionately, and without the usual
pyrotechnics, legislation for the gov
eminent of the people.
Not only should savings of almost
two-thirds in the mileage and per
diem of legislative members be made,
but a horde of useless clerks and at
PENDANTS could be dispensed with.
The sessions would not cost the people
to exceed one-third of what they do
now, and the efficiency would be
doubled. There would be less talk
and more real work, less politics and
more business and less trading and
pickering and more consideration of
the welfare of the state as a whole.
The argument may be used that the
change is revolutionary and expert
mental, but it does not hold good
Conceding that both claims are true,
there is no reason for being afraid Of
a revolutionary measure which means
better service and there is no justifi-
cation for rejecting an experiment
which will reduce the cost of govern
ment to the people and relieve them
of some of the present burden under
which they are grooming. Simplifica-
ton should be the watchword and
economy the slogan of every member
of the legislature. The way to reform
is to reform and a one-body legisla-
ture is long step in the direction Of
Graduating some of the existing evils.

A ONE BODY LEGISLATURE

When the Republican state plat
form was being considered at the con-
yention in June the editor of the Sig
nal, who was a member of the COM
mittee on resolutions, fought strenu-
ously for the adoption of a plank
pledging the abolition of our present
legislative system, and the substitution
of one-body legislature with one
member from each county in the state.
After debate of a couple of hours
the resolution was only defeated by
the narrow margin of II to IA although
at the beginning it had few supper
tiers.
The progress made in SO short a
time in the convention leads the Signal
to believe there is a possibility--if not
an absolute certainty-that a constitu-
tional amendment may be submitted
by the coming legislature providing
for the much needed change At least
the effort should be made and no stone
left unturned to bring about change
which will mean SO much to the peo-

EUROPE'S CONCERN OVER OUR
ATTITUDE

The Importance of American sympa-
thy appears to be recognized by all
the warning nations, to judge from the
strenuous efforts being made by some
of the Powers to exert a direct in
fluence upon public opinion in this
country. For example, the London
Daily Chronicle has sent a well-known
English writer to this side to survey
the field of American thought and
to find out how best to secure and
preserve American friendship. So,
too, the German government, influ-
enced by the reports of the anti-Ger-
man stand taken by the American
press at least in the east, has sent
a statesman of the first rank upon
mission to present the truth to the
American people as it appears to Ger
man eyes. The recent appeal Of Con-
gresham Gardner, Of Massachusetts,
for state OF preparedness for even
Qualities in the United States" has ex-
cited much comment across the water
