The first monster cheese presented to
president of which we can find rec
ord is that offered with great publicity
to Jefferson In 1902. The cheese was
made-one might almost say built-in
Cheshire, Mass. in a press giving 1t
the great dimensions Of four feet diam

being successfully pressed it was
drawn from Cheshire to washington
In a six horse dray amid popular re-
joicing. With regard for the dignity Of
his Office. the president insisted on
footing the bill to the tune of $500.

of nearly $50.000,00O in the two bills
because Of the new projects that have
been exposed and side-tracked.
The result is primarily a triumph of
honesty against the old log rolling
system of grab, graft and greed. which
has forced the government to spend
millions of dollars annually in ques-
tionable or worse than questionable
schemes. 1t is more. 1t is a definite
step toward the disentanglement of
meritorious and necessary projects from
collusive partnership with the other
kind. There had to be an end to old
methods. The people would not much
longer stand the annual raid on the
treasury of pie-hunting congressman,
backed by pie-demanding constituents.

The state highway law Is fearfully
and wonderfully made. and the deci-
sions Of the highway commission seem
to be on a par. They give out the
information. at least are quoted by
the papers as saying, that "there is
plenty Of money to aid state road
work. Then they say they cannot
do anything on the north and south
highway, (the most important one in
the state so far as uniting the general
interests goes) because Adams coun-
ty will not put up the two dollars to
one required under that law. That
simply means then that this important
highway, which was one OF the leading
incentives on the part OF the north
for the passing Of the highway law and
the creating of commission TO adj
minister it, will be abandoned until
such time as new counties like Adams
and large and rugged counties like
Idaho, the latter with eighty odd miles
of the highway falling within its bor-
ders and which is sparsely settled and
is hedged in most Of the way with
forest reserve, come through with the
required bonds. In the meantime the
smaller counties in the south which
10 iOt NAVE tHcbC ditAOot
able difficulties to meet, will go ahead
and use up the 100000 now available.
and the less fortunate counties will
help pay off the bonds. The Globe
is not envious, neither is II a knocker
on public improvements, and especially
on the construction of state highways.
II the matter can be placed on q fair
and equitable basis. But when a coun-
ty is handicapped with paucity of
funds, lack of assessabe property, or
Is possessed of a vast expanse of prac-
tically unsettled territory which 1t is
called upon to build such roads through.
which in justice the state should build
at its own expense, a bond issue bas-
ed upon the conditions stipulated in
the present law. levying as 1t does, a
tax upon the unfortunate. or IMPROVE
dent. counties to assist the prosperous
ones, is manifestly unjust. But, should
the Idaho county taxpayers decide to
take upon themselves this unequal bur-
den of taxation and make the sacrifice
for the sake of having the road built.
then, according to the ruling of the
highway commission, If any other coun-
ty between us and the south should
balk, we are left absolutely helpless
to protect our interests in the bond
issue, but must pay up just the same.
By this means the poor are made poor
er to help those who least need help.
