PICTURE SHOWS on
SUNDAY EVENINGS

Why picture shows should not be
permitted to operate on Sunday
evenings at hours which would not
conflict with church services, is some
thing we can't quite understand.
Take it in Montpelier during the
winter time, there is now no place
for the homeless man TO 60 to while
away the dreary hours on Sunday
evenings. The card and pool halls
are closed against him, SO there Is
nothing left for him to do but sit
around his room alone or probably
with some companions playing 8
social game Of cards. Men are
bound to seek amusement-it Is
human nature. the world over. If
none is provided for them they will
omake their own amusement. which
is often not of the best kind.
Some will say let them 60 to
church. We will admit that would
be good place for them. But it is
as impossible to make men 20 to
church as it is to make water run
up hill. That has long since been
proven. Then why not offer them
some legitimate amusement for q
few hours on Sunday evenings?
And picture shows, we believe,
would afford as clean amusement as
any that could be provided.
Suppose that the Montpelier thea
tire should be permitted to operate
on Sunday evenings. say from $3.50
TO 7:SO, what possible harm would
result therefrom7 In fact, we be
lieve it would stimulate church going
for no doubt some people coming oui
of the show at 7:30. which is about
the time for church services to begin
would conclude to go TO church, In
asmuch as they were out on the
street.
But suppose that not one of those
who would attend a picture show OF
Sunday evening, should attend
church afterwards, they would b
none the worse of. In fact they
would feel better for having had the
pleasure Of seeing high class pictures
for If shows should be permitted II
rnn, the law provides that they shal
be subject 70 such regulations a
may be prescribed BY ordinance.
Thus the council would have authori
ty to say that only pictures Of |
clean, moral nature could be showI
on Sunday evenings.
We are not personally intereste'
in the picture show business, neithe
} were we requested by the manage
ment of the Montpelier theatre t
advocate Sunday picture shows, bu
make the suggestion simply becans
; we feel that It would offer to man
/, /, people a place to speed a couple 0
/ hours very prOfitably on Sunda
leveninRs.
II any reader OF the Examiner ha
e any logical reasons TO offer why
I picture show should not be permitte

IL which to present their views.

WILL BUILD ROAD THRU
GRAND CANYON or SNAKE
Governor Kendrick Of Wyoming. Deeply Inter
ested In Proposed Route Montpelier Should
Build Build Good Road to Alton.

A well defined movement has been
started by tho people Of Lincoln
county. Wyoming. to have a state
highway constructed through the
grand canyon Of the Snake river, for
the purpose Of affording . scenic
route into Jackson's Hole and the
Yellowstone Park. While Ii Star

proposed road that he promised 70

The canyon u S3 milea long and ~
II lies within q national forest, the
appropriation would have to come
from the forest department Of the
government.
Editor Brandon Of the Kemmerer

visited the mouth Of the grand can
yon, and from his account of the trip
and the reasons advanced FOR con-
structing the road we reproduce the
following:

COUNTIES CANNOT APPRO-
! PIRATE MONEY FOR FAIRS
So Declares Judge Steele IN Recent Decision
Rendered Similar Decision Ten Years Ago
Case VIII go to Sumpreme Court.

from its proportion to the whole 80 in
vested"
Judge Steele's decision In part is
as follows:
The question presented to the
court is whether section SO4O 10 in
contravention Of the constitution Of
Idaho, as above quoted,
Some ten or twelve years ago
this court decided in case Of the
board Of commissioners Of Nez Perce
county, with reference to an appro-
priation made to the Lewiston-C Clark
ston fair, that such an appropriation
could not be made, and reversed the
action OF the board Of commissioners
in 80 making the appropriation. This
case was not appealed to the su-
preme court. nor has the question
here presented ever been before the
supreme court Of this state.
The only distinction between this
case and the case which has already
been determined by the court with
reference to the Lewiston-C Charleston
fair, is that the articles of incorpor-
alton Of the Northwest Livestock
association show that this is nom
profit-sharing association.
The court has considered most
carefully this question, and can ar
rive at no other conclusion than that
the fact that it is a non-profit-shar-
ing association in no way affects the
question az to whether such an ap-
preparation can be made.
The constitution intended to pre-
vent such donations being made, and
to show to the people everywhere
that no such appropriation OF the
public funds would be made in Idaho.
The constitution was intended to cut
off all opportunity Of counties and
cities entering into any kind of spec
ulative schemes, and to thereby pre-
vent BY any possibility the opportun-
ity for q misappropriation Of the
funds Of the municipality. It was
intended to cut off all such oppor-
tunities, and this court having here
tofore rendered it's decision in a case
of this kind. feels bound by that de-
cision, and that it must follow it,
regardless of what benefits might
accrue from an appropriation made
to the association in question. There
is no question in the courts mind
but what great benefits have already
ensued. but appropriations might be
made which would not be Of bene-
fit, and the constitution was intend
ed to cut off all opportunity for any
mistake being made in the appropri-
alton of funds.
This case is one which is primar-
lily for the supreme court Of this
state. and Il ought to be taken there
as soon Is possible, but this court
having already practically decided
the question some ten or twelve
years ago. sees no reason for chang.
ing the conclusions then reached"
The commissioners Of Nez Perez
county have filed notice Of appeal to
the supreme court.

The commissioners Of Bear Lake
county, in. common with the COM
missioners Of other counties in the
state in which annual fairs are held,
have for some years past been ap.
propriating money out Of the cur.
rent expense funds for the benefit
Of the fair associations.
Now comes Judge Steele Of the
Second Judicial district, and declares
that such appropriations are uncon-
stitutional. The decision was rend-
cred last week in a suit which was
brought to prevent the payment OF
$25O0 out Of the current expense
fund of Nez Perce county to the
Northwestern Livestock association
Of Lewiston.
Acting upon the advice Of their
legal advisers and in response to a
petition signed by e majority Of the
taxpayers Of that county, the COM
missioners last May made an order
appropriating the above amount to
the association. However, as soon
as the appropriation was ordered, a
protest against the issuance of the
warrant was filed with the clerk of
the board Of commissioners. The
matter was taken before the district
court, which rendered decision as
stated above.
The county commissioners have
been basing their authority to make
these appropriations on a law passed
by the Idaho legislature in 1887,
which reads as follows:
Sec. S04O. The board OF county
commissioners OF any county in this
state In which there IA . regularly or
ganized fair association, or any other
corporation or company having for its
sole object the exhibition Of livestock
and agricultural products Of their

erection. appropriate annually ont Of the
county treasury, amy sum, not exceed
ing In amount one-half Of one mill on
every dollar Of taxable property in said
county, as showniby the assessment roll
Of the preceding year Of said county, tc
DO paid to the trustees or managers Of
such association, to assist In defrayinR
the expenses OF such fair; Provided,
none Of the moneys shall be used In de-
fraying lthe expenses Of races Of any
character, nor for the payment OF purs-
% for siad races. But no appropriation
can be made Ia any year in which a
fair is not held, nor can any appropFia-
tion be made TO more than one such
corporation In any one year. Appropri
ationssmade under this section shall bG
: paid out Of the current expense fund
Section ! Of Article 12 Of the
state constitution. which was adopt
ed in 1889, reads as follows:

nicipal corporation, by vote Of It's citi
zens. or otherwise, shall ever become

month. The management of the Sub
Central will still be in the hands OF
Mr., M. j. Higley and 1t Is understood
! that there will be no changes In
the office force as past years expert
ence has proven the ability of the
men employed there.
The plan made by the General
Manager for the employment OF
Emile E. Dean as salesman was
carefully considered and endorsed
Mr.. Dean will take the road at once
to make marketing connection for
the disposal of the small fruits in
Guiding peaches, summer apples and
later in the fall and winter varieties
of apples, in the nearby territory,
which can be better handled by a
/ local sales department than it can
by the Distributors. 1t is expected
that this deparement will handle the
surplus output from all the Is dis
trfcts embraced in the Idaho-Oregon
Fruit Growers Association.
A recommendation was also made
by the General Manager, and passed
unanimously that the Association
this year supply boxes to the grow
ers at actual cost, in place of
charging the retail price for them
and then rebating the difference be-
tween that and the actual cost, it
being conceded that few of the
growers realized that they were
getting their boxes at cost as they
failed to consider the rebate which
had been sent out, and it was there
fore concluded best to bill these
boxes out direct to the growers at
the cost price. This will of course
cancel all future rebates on boxes |
which have heretofore been sent
to the growers. Of course this will
not effect the rebate for the season
1914-1915 which will be sent out |
later on.
In discussing the situation in
other districts it was brought out
that the growth in the two largest
districts was quite phenomenal. N.
Yakima showing as follows:
Jan. 1, 1912-328 members.
Jan. 1, 1913-69S members.
Jan. 1, 1914-966 members.
Jan. 1, 1915-1353 members.
At Wenatchee also the growth is
-ery satisfactory. In 1913 the ton
lage amounted to 319 cars, while
he past season they shipped some
hing over 900 cars and their ton
age for this season will probably
e 1900 cars or better. The dele
ates felt that this record was quite
onciusive as to the standing of the
-ssociation in both of these large
fstricts and they left more than y
yer convinced that they are on
le right lines and that our member 4
Zip would grow as soon as the grow
rs realize as they do in other dis
lets, the value of cooperation.
