Waste Wheat to Buy Sugar.

According To the Department of Com
MERGE, approximately 100000, COO of
American money was expended last
year for foreign grown sugar imported
into the United States. OF this the
lions share went to Cuba, the total i'm.
ports from other countries being valued
at less than $4,0OO,O0O
The government report includes also
los, 473 long tons of sugar from the
Philippines valued at s. SOP, PAL.
These dry figures contain material
for some interesting and instructive
comparisons.
Exports of wheat from the United
States in 1914 amounted TO l73, Sol, 944
bushels, with total valuation of S1S1,
1874, 100, an average price of 81 " a
bushel. This was the highest price at
which the export wheat crop had been
sold for ten years.
Even with this unusually high price
OF wheat, however, over 63 per cent of
the whole amount exported, or 1885,
l26 bushels, was required to pay for
the imported sugar bought from foreign
growers and dealers, To grow the
wheat that went to settle this sugar
bill it was necessary to till 1906 500
acres at an average yield of the past
ten years. This is nearly one.eighth of
the normal wheat acreage of the entire
country and represents an area almost
equal to the combined total of the inn
proved land in the three large western
states of Montana, Wy oming and Utah.
Practically all the wheat grown in the
four great agricultural 81 ates of Min
nesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and low a
was required to foot the nations bill for
imported, foreign grown sugar.
Ii it were a matter of necessity 10
import sugar there might be some ex-
cuse for sending abroad wheat to pay
for it. AS statistics published by the
Department Of Agriculture show, how.
ever, there are no less than 27S 600, 600
acres in the country adapted to sugar
growing, and all the sugar imported
into the United States last year could
have been grown on approximately
] ,SO6, 600 acres of our own land.
Thus it appears that 6,0CO,O 900 acres
devoted to wheat raising were practi-
cally wasted. Grand Rapids Herald:

There can be no valid reason says
Mr.. Pattengill, why every Republican
in the state should not support the
ticket conscientiously and heartily"
Hon. Edward N. Dingley, who at the
last state election was the candidate OF
the Progressive party in his district for
congress, has also announced his cordial
acceptance of the Republican state
nominees and has declared his intention
to give the Republican ticket his active
support.
And that which is true of Mr. Ding
ley with reference TO his return to the
party Of his lifetime favor and service,
is also true of Congressman Roy o
Woodruff of Bay City. In announcing
his intention to hereafter vote and work
with the Republican party, Mr.. Wood
ruff recently said, THE Republican
party has been great instrumentality
of progress for the last fifty years. |
think through the determined, cohesive
action of the voters the Republican
party will be again what it was in the
past. If this is true, we will see greater
prosperity for both the men who EN-
ploy labor and for labor itself than ever
before. 1t matters not to me whether
the aims of the progressive leaders and
the progressive thought are consum-
mated under the name Progressive party
or Republican party. believe it is the
duty of every progressive and every
progressive republican to work for a
joining of the factions and for a United
Republican party"

REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET
For County School Commissioner,
HOWARD E. SLOCUM.
For County Road Commissioner,
ROY &. BAILEY.

The vote at the city primary on
Monday can be regarded as an en-
phatic endorsement of the work of
Commissioner Fred Hanscom during
the past year and expresses the desire
of an overwhelming majority of the
people of the city to have him serve
on as commissioner of public improve
ments. Given a reelection for a full
term of three years, Mr.. Hanscom can
make plans for improvements in such
way that they can be worked out
to the advantage of the city and with
a large saving in expense as there will
be no break in his work nor any time
lost in organizing the working forces
under him. Mr.. Hanscom by his work
during his first year earned the COM
pliment paid him at the primary.
So little interest is being shown in
the approaching election that it will
not be amiss to call attention to the
fact that the Republican ward pri-
maries are to be held in the usual
places on Monday next from 5 to Z
p. m. to nominate candidates for SUI
pervisors. Owing to the fact (gener-
ally regretted by members of all
parties) that o. l.. Sprague feels that
he cannot spare the time to serve
longer, a new candidate must be elect
ed in the first ward In the other
wards the present members of the
board are receptive candidates and
will undoubtedly be re-nominated as
their services have been unusually
satisfactory.

William Carey said: II have one
trait of success. can plod. Some
years ago there were two intimate
friends at certain college. One
stood at the head of the class and the
other was nearly always at the foot.
One took every prize and the other
took none. Ten years after gradua-
tion the prize winner was clerk in a
lawyers Office, while the dull student
was one of the most successful ply
sicians in large city. When the
physician was asked why, he answered
II never stop working. l put my
whole strength into it. knew that
had no genius or special talent; that
just had to work to succeed. Work
ing hard, / have never become discour-
aged" The brilliant student took
his profession lightly. and enjoyed
long vacations, while the physician
was working resolutely night and day.
Work is a splendid tonic for worry
and encouragement.

Here is the spirit that develops

Here is the spirit that develops a
community. Juliaetta and Kendrick
are four miles apart, connected by a
level road down Potaltch creek. The
other day the citizens of Juliaetta
went up to Kendrick and Joined the
Kendrick citizenc in big feed. This
was under the auspices of the Com
mercial clubs of these towns. 1t was
discovered that the people should be
better acquainted; that their interests
were mutual; that Their efforts should
be Joined in the upbuilding of their
section of Latah county. To that end
mass meeting was called and as a
result a delegation from each town
was appointed, and under the direc-
tion~of these men crews turned out
and improved the public road connect
in, these places. Large delegations
from each town labored valiantly for
worthy cause. The road was grad
ed, loose rock thrown out, holes were
filed and the road leveled anC
crowned. The result is the best road
there ever has been between these
towns, and with better roads has
come better feeling that will bring
about more good works.

PAYING THE FIDDLER.

Taxes will be higher next year.
The people must now pay for the ex-
travagance and foolishness and graft
of the past two years. The people
were told it all came out of the pock-
cts of timber companies. The people
will see. The little taxpayer will
discover that he pays his share, and
that a wasted dollar interests him be-
cause it touches his pocket books
When the former county board paid
Nease $50. 900 for $50, 900 worth of
labor they were robbing the people.
When they paid three prices for coun-
ty printing they were robbing the tax
payers, the farmers, because the
farmer pays his proportion of every
wasted dollar. And the aggregate of
this extravaganza and graft and ineffi-
cheney is monster public debt be-
queathed to the people as monument
lest they forget their faithless public
servants. And this debt must be
paid. The county must this year levy
not less than ten mills for warrant
redemption. What warrants, pray
Warrants issued to meet debt incurred
by the present county board? No, to
meet an eighth of a million dollar
warrant Indebtedness left by the out
going county administration. which is
drawing SEVEN PER CENT. IN
TEREST which the people must also
pay.

When you get your next tax state
ment and discover that your taxes are
going to be about fifty per cent. high
er than last year, jut take the time
to do little figuing. You are now
paying for the extravaganza and graft
and shameful waste of county funds
during the past two or more years.
You are now helping to pay for the
time Blair Hoar wasted standing on
the street talking politics and paint
ing campaign signs while the county
board hired deputies to do his work.
None of these things in themselves
amount to much, but in the course of
two years or more they aggregate an
eighth of million dollars, and draw
seven per cent. interest, and under
the law the county board MUST
LEVY TEN MILLS for warrant re-
demption. And taxes are higher at
least to this extent.
Who's to blame?

..soME MISTAKES OF MOSES.

1t is said that Governor Moses AL
exander has admitted, privately, Of
course, that he made mistake when
he vetoed that $50, 600 or thereabout,
for deficiency spent last year to fight
forest fires in this part Of the state.
And now they are using the appropri-
ation, voted to meet forest fire protec-
tion this season, paying off that defic-
iency and stopped per cent. interest.
Which means deficiency for the next
Legislature to meet, and Governor AL
exander will no doubt count this in
his favor and continue to charge it to
the republicans as extravaganza.
Governor Alexander simply lacks the
courage, or, is it the manhood, to face
facts and shoulder his just share Of
the responsibility and burdens incident
to state management. He would en-
danger state property, and coin public
interest into political buncombe for
Nose Alexander. And to that extent
he is demogogue, and unfit to fill
the responsible position to which he
was elected by accident.
Because State Treasurer Allen was
crooked, which fact was discovered By
the republicans during the administra-
ton of Governor John M. Haines,
Nose Alexander and the Capital News
began howl that all republican state
officials were crooked; that Governor
Haines and Attorney General Peterson
were in league with Allen to rob the
state. AS a result of this campaign
of libel and SANDER and falsehood,
Nose Alexander was elected. Attor-
rey General Peterson, worthy pub
lie servant, almost defeated, was
prosecuted, prosecuted, and compelled
to defend himself in criminal prose
cution that would never have been
thought of had men of honor and fair
ness been in control of the state, in
stead of political highbinders, intent
on deception and victory at any price.
Nose Alexander won, and is COVER
nor, and disgraced Idaho by repudiat-
ing honest obligations of his state,
one of which was some $35, 900 cash
advanced by private individuals to pay
the states just share of the cost Of
fighting forest fires last year.
Not content with this humiliating
exhibition of crooked business policy,
Nose Alexander had the nerve, the
effrontery, the gall, to boast of his

KING ALCOHOL is SICK.

According to Wall Street Journal Of
New York City, production of whiskey
in Kentucky in January was 1880, 900
gallons, against 6. 1O2, 452 gallons in
January, 1914; production in Pennsyl-
vania was l,073, 808 gallons in January
against LISP, 445 year ago, and in
Maryland SOC, 919 gallons, against 918, :
582 last year. Whisky bottled in
bond in January was 691, sos gallons,
compared with 92S, 1877 in January,
1914.
The decrease in Kentucky's produc-
tion of whisky amounts to 66 2-3 per
cent. in Pennsylvania 33 per cent; in
Maryland more than 40 per cent.
These figures, land others for Febru-
airy and March and other months,
more recently available), indicate
that the distillers, who can look ahead
like anyone else, see that within a
few years the commercial demand for
whiskey will fall off at unprecedented
speed. The distillers are buying
newspaper space in more than one city
to argue that prohibition doesn't pro-
hibit that more liquor than ever is
being drunk in this country; but this
is bluff. They are meanwhile cur
failing production and quietly discoun-
ting their own funeral. Better times
are ahead for these United States. -
