MINNESOTA SUPREME COURTS
OPINION OF DRY DISTRICTS

Prohibition doesn't prohibit, The
individual may not like the truth OF
this statement, but is vouchCd for by
such an august body as the Minnesota
Supreme Court, which in the case OF
State vS. Stoftels, 50 Mimi. POO says:
1T is a matter OF common knowl-
edge that blind pigs or places for the
secret and unlawful sale OF intoNicat-
ing liquors are relatively more nut
merouS and lar more pcrnieiouS in
prohibition districts than they are in
licensed districts, wherein the tempt
alton 10 maintain blind Figs is much
less. and wherein all licensed dealers
have direct pecuniary interest i'll
SuppreSsing the unlicensed traffic
The history of all the past has prov
en- that the sale and drinking OF liquor
cannot be absolutely prevented and
that the traffic goes on. either regu-
lated by license or without any regu-
lation whatever.
You can vote a town dry, but not
the people IN it.
You can vote the saloon out, but
ii YOU thereby drive the traffic into
secrecy. il is surely much greater
menace to the morals OF the COM
munity than the regulated saloon.

GO EN- ONE BETTER.


The Idaho legislature has nothing
on our sister town Of Nampa when it
comes to legislating morality into its
subjects. The latest prohibition law
passed by the legislature makes the
possession of Intoxicating liquor
prima facia evidence that our sacred
laws have been violated. The Nampa
ordinance makes the smell Of liquor
on the breath sufficient evidence"
Parma should not get left in the pro
ccssion, and we would suggest to our
city fathers that annordinance be
passed making the desire to quench
an illicit thirst capital offense.
There's no use in half way
measures. Nampa devotees of Ter
psichore must in the future stand six
inch:s away from each other while
practicing the art, let's make Parma
more or less graceful fair and foolish
lovers Of dancing stand across the
street from one another and enjoy
the sport right. Following is copy
of the placards posted in the pleasure
halls of Nampa:
Nothing but conventional dancing
allowed. This means one arm must
be extended or hanging loose at the
side. No close dancing allowed.
There must be six inches between
heads, and no heads allowed on the
shoulder or arm The law in regard
to drinking will be strictly enforced
The smell of liquor on the breath is
sufficient evidence. By order O
mayor and council"

THE PAY AS YOU GO POLICY.
(Hailey News-MinerO

Twenty years ago most cities and
towns, on making any large public i'm
provement, used to pay for it in bonds
running 20 and 80 years. A good many
people have only recently had to rein
vest seven per cent bonds issued as
far back as 1880 or 1885 by many of
the larger cities. During much of
this period these cities have been able
to borrow money for -four per cent
and even less. The burden placed on
the taxpayers by local governments
that issued these bonds was enor-
NOUS
There is today a growing realiza-
ton of the heavy burden placed on
taxpayers by this policy Of making
posterity pay. Interest rates are high
err now than they were few years
ago. Cities that issue serial bonds
for IS and 20 years will pay two dol
lars for one.

A WIDOW MARRIES AND
MAY LOSE A SNUG
FORTUNE

Just as notices for the final settle
ment OF the twenty-five thousand dol
lor estate of the late Henry 7. Shaw
were being posted, heirs appeared in
probate court with copies OF will
and codicil which will precipitate one
OF the biggest legal battles staged here
for years.
In the probate papers filed, Mrs.
Marietta Shaw-Pederson lays claim to
all the estate on the ground that it
was earned as community property.
The will and codicil just introduced
into court would have the effect Of
cutting the widow off without any
thing because she married again.
Notice has been served onthe First
National Bank at Payette to discon-
tinue paying Mrs. Peterson the allow
ance of one hundred dollars month
she has been getting, pending decis-
ion Of the court
Harry T. Shaw, a successful sheep
man died at Parma December E, 1918.
His will, now produced in his own
handwriting, was made in 1905. By
its provisions eleven hundred dollars
was to be paid to each of two nephews
and the residue OF the estate was to
go to his sisters, Nancy Shaw and
Mrs. Priscilla Moore Of Emmett.
Codicil Cuts Widow Of.
Following his marriage he made a
codicile to the original will bcqueath-
ing one third of the estate to his wife,
but stipulated that if she married
again she would receive nothing This
codicil was made August Is, 1918. The
widow married some time during the
year 1914, and is now living near
Payette with her second husband. The
production of the will comes as a
complete surprise to her.
Final settlement of the estate which
would have given the entire sum Of
$24,2506O to Mrs. Peterson was to be
made in probate court last Monday
March 8. This is indefinitely post.
poned and the suit on the will and
codicil will come up in the district
court March Is.
Mrs: Peterson and M. F. Albert OF
Payette have been administering the
affairs Of the estate.

led to a conservative financial policy.
There may be something in this But
as a whole the present generation is
paying dearly for the light-heartcd
end nonchalant financial policy Of
its fathers.
1t is a favorite politicians scheme
to borrow money, load off the bur
dens Of administrations on future
years, provide low tax rate for the
current year and 60 to the people on
the issue of economy. Frequently it
works; but not so often as formerly.
Some day the debt must be paid. Then
it is learned that nothing stops the
growth of town quicker than high
taxes.
Authorities on municipal finance to-
day all favor paying for improvements
in the least possible time.

city through advertising circulars dis
tributed from house to house and by
personal solicitation, by this means
taking business that legitimately be-
longs to the home merchant. All of
this is true, and it has been but a day
or two since a certain line OF business
was solicited by an outside firm
through the distribution OF adverts-
ing matter giving prices and descrip-
tions of the articles offered for sale.
This is a common practice and the
fact that is repeated every few weeks
shows that it pays the advertiser. He
steps i'll and takes local business be-
cause he solicites it and the people
are inclined to pay attention to ad-
vertiscrs who solicit their trade. In
this particular line, SO Jar as advertis-
ing goes, no one would know that the
line is represented in the city by To-
cal dealers, and right here is where
our home merchant is not alive to his
own interests. He does not take ad-
vantage OF the opportunities to COM
pete with the outsider through his
local newspaper which reaches most
Of the homes weekly, and business
which belongs to him slips away to
another city.
Newspapers may fill columns Of
space arguing for loyalty to home
patronage, but unless the local mer-
chants back it UP with their adver-
Using, soliciting the business and Of
lering inducements to secure it, the
stream will continue to flow out. The
business men can do more to check
the loss of local business and success
fully combat the outsiders than any
one else and il they go at it system
atically success would crown their
efforts, because people do not trade
away from home by choice, but from
the fact that the outsider is more encr-
getic in soliciting them and offering
inducements to secure their business.
a cooperative campaign with the
merchants and the newspaper would
result is much business being kept at
home, Under the present condition
OF depression it behoovcS us to pull
together for all the business and all
the dollars we can keep at home. The
newspaper cannot do it alone. The
newspaper and the merchants can
succeed by united action.

Theirs Is a humane mission-to go
among the dying on the firing line

They hold a special commission
from the emperor OF Japan and are
