IDAHO WHEAT

Tuesday was a busy day for the

trains OF so cars each, went east all
loaded with wheat for export. Three
hundred and fifty carloads of wheat
bound for Europe because of the war.
This wheat was all grown in Idaho,
Washington and Oregon and was se-
lected for export because of its quail
ity. There is no doubt concerning
which side will eat bread made of
our wheat, the allies will be the boys
for this work for it is impossible TO
ship to the Germans 1t is possible
of course that submarines may send

A CENT FOR DEFENSE
BY Local w. c. r. U.

No state has sent a stronger body
of men to Congress who are united
against the control of the liquor
traffic than Idaho. How much do yo,
care that they use their influence and
vote for National Prohibition? Send
them word that you. hope they work
and vote for it. Why not make it a
Peace postal this Christmas time,
say mo big war budget for me-.
Home makers know the people suf-
fer when 20 per cent of the family
income is spent for defensive ma
chinery. One half of our revenue
should go to making great people and
a greater America.
81 Sylyanne says:
There's a lot o. common sense
an kindness in the country only It's
SO durn slow to git around; while
the cussedness and meanness always
acts like they felt the hell fire sz-
zlip' their whiskers and knowed they

in mems minda is what lass; and
the feliar what can stay with it has

Patriots are expected to pay into
the billion dollar war budget every
time they take their purses out, that
our country may become a great ars-
email and our boys trained soldiers.
Let us give cent to defend what we

WOMAN'S SUCCESS
IN DRY FARMING

| AS an illustration of what pluck
and energy will accomplish when
properly applied here in the Payette
Valley, Miss Mary King, a young wo-
man who came here from California
a little over three years ago, has
made a record dry-farming that not
many men have been able to equal.
Upon her arrival Miss King placed
a homestead filing upon 160 acres
of land in the Big Willow creek
country % miles from Payette, where
she resided and worked five months
each year, clearing and burning sage
brush, plowed, narrowed and preform-
ed other outdoor work.
During the remaining seven months
of each year she worked as a wait
ress in Boise and at Yellowstone
Park hotel, devoting her earnings to
the hiring of man TO work on her
homestead, under the, supervision of
her brother John King, who was at
the same time improving his own
lanL nearby. Miss King was also
interested with her brother in rails
ing turkeys for the markets and is
doubtless entitled to claim her share
Of the honors gained by that gen
tleman, as the Turkey King, Of
the Big Willow country. About three
weeks ago Miss King made final
proof upon her claim, no longer sage
brush plain, but the beginning of
what is going to be very valuable
farm, with a small house and stable,
a part of its $50 acres of cleared
land, being under cultivation, on
which she raised crops of consider
able value each year, last season a.
bout 200 bushels of wheat and rye
and so or so tons of alfalfa. She
owns six head of horses, nine head
of cattle and half interest in bind
er, moving machine, and other farm
machinery.
Miss King is of the opinion that
almost any healthy young woman or
ambitious young man might do as
well, provided they We're willing to-
economic and work as she has done.

Washoe, was arrested by Constable
Cosman Wednesday, on a warrant

an assault upon Wilford Dunster, en-
tered plea of guilty in Judge Wells
court and was fined s5 and the costs

SEEKING TO REDUCE
BURDEN OF TAXATION
STATE UNIVERSITY WILLING TO
WORK TO THAT END ALONG
NON-POL|TICAL LINES.

With large attendance of repre-
sentative men from IA counties, the
idaho Stale Tax association was
formed at Boise Monday afternoon.
Al MS opening adress Professor
iiowaId T. Lewis, of the department
If economics, University OF Idaho,
felerred TO the alarming increase
N taxation and TO the lack of gen.
eral knowledge on the part of the
public as to how their tax money was
being expended. He deprecated
the system of log-rolling and political
trucking and emphasized the fact
that the Idaho Tax association must
be conducted on strictly non-p -paru-
san and non-political basis; otherwise
he University of Idaho would have
nothing to do with it.
The association should, in its work,
Ldhere strictly TO facts and not rely
entirely on theories. 1t should be
primarily a channel for the expression
of ideas. The university had placed
its resources at the disposal Of the
new organization in the hope that
public interest might be aroused;
that a spirit OF economy might be
developed.
Some strong and illuminatiye ad
dresses were delivered by men who
have taken some pains 10 solve the
problem of taxation with a motive
above that of lifting themselves in
10 political prominence, the most
striking of which was that Of ]. A.
Purtill of Mountainhome, who stir
red the delegates at the evening
session with brief but meaty paper
IN the Weakness of the Present Tax
Laws of Idaho" The greatest weak
ness, he said, was the apathy to their.
business and perform, duty at the.
proper time.
They do not attend to their busi-
ness until taxpaying time, then they
pay and complain, but the tax is due
dHQ nuSl Do pau anu luS4i lOi iuNi
silence gave consent The second
weakness is a lack of administration
authority to enforce the present law
as to real and personal property. The
third weakness is our inability to
reach all forms of personal property
and apply the law, to put it on the
assessment roll for assessment and
statistical purposes This later weak
ness is owing to the ridgidity of our
constitution, which does not permit
of different method of assessment
and valuation, between real, personal
and personal intangible classes of
property. The fourth weakness is
the high cost of administering this
department of state government.
Upon one point the delegates were
unanimous. To succeed, the tax asso-
citation must present facts to the peo-
pie in intelligent form. This, it was
the opinion of all speakers, is not be-
ing done at present. Official reports
do not show where economies can be
effected or extravaganza stopped.
The people need more information.

COMMUNITY TREE
GREAT SUCCESS
UNITED EFFORT IS REWARDED
BY HAPPY SMILES OF A
THOUSAND CHILDREN.

If the people of Payette had plan
ned for months ahead instead of the
very short time that was spent in ar
ranging for Community Christmas
tree, it is doubtful if it could have
been made much more of a Success.
The tree with its artistic decora-
tions, beautiful beyond description
when the lights were turned on at
seven O'Clock Christmas Eve. An i'm
mense bonfire made the surrounding
square as light as MONDAY and the
large crowd which had assembled for
the celebration of the Christmas fest
iyal entered fully into the spirit of
the occasion, while the band played
and the previously arranged program
was carried out without a hitch and
with pleasing effect.
Never before had so many children
been brought together in one great
congregation for the enjoyment of the
Christmas festival and it is doubtful
If ever before there had been
seen such genuine good fellowship
where the Christmas cheer thorough
ly took hold of all the people as It
did on that occasion.
Young and old alike, constituting
the major portion of the popula ion
of the city and nearby community sur
rounded the tree and the big bonfire,
filling the large pavilion, the side
walks and the street The distrib-
uting committee presented Christ
mas packages of candy and nuts to
nearly 1000 children and everybody
fully enjoyed the genuine good-cheer
and friendly intercourse of the hour,
as could have only been done in the
midst of thousand happy children
surging about the magic tree and re
those mysterious parcels that
meant SO much to them.
No doubt the committees and all
who contributed their time and
money to the undertaking felt that
they had been repaid a thousand
fold in their pleasure at the genuine
enjoyment that was gotten out of it,
by the youngsters Of the community.
On every hand was heard expressions
of satisfaction with the delightful
manner in which every part of the
arrangement had been carried out.
