GIVING THEM THE HOOK

GIVING THEM THE HOOK
Governor Alexander seems to
be welding the pruning shears
down at Boise in approved fash
ion and is going after the state
institutions as we'll as the sala-
ries of the state officials. If he
keeps the good work going he
will get long way toward saw
ing that million dollars Of taxes
he promised the people of the
state during his campaign and
will be worthy of a place in tie
Idaho hall of fame for this alone
if he accomplishes nothing else
of value during his administra-
ton.
The Chronicle hopes tie COVER
nor will be able to establish a
precedent in the matter of allow
ing the state educational institu-
tons, and all other state institu-
tons for that matter, a certain
sum for yearly maintenance or
place them on a tax basis where
by they will have a certain fixed
income and not be allowed to
grab all they can, as has been
done in the past. The Chronicle
has no quarrel with the educa-
tional institutions of our state
but we do think that they should
be kept within bounds and not be
allowed to grow too rapidly at
the expense of the rural schools.
Idaho is young state, with but
little more than half the popula-
ton of the city of Los Angeles,
and it does not become US to be
able to boast of having a state
university the equal of the one
in the much older and richer
state of California. Further
more, perhaps not more than one
in fifty of the school children of
our state have the opportunity of
attending the university, normal
school or academies, after COM
pleting their studies in the COM
mon schools and many of them
do not even attain higher than
the eighth grade. Why, then,
sacl ifice the forty-nine for the
one. Rather, why not build up
the rural schools to a higher
plane of efficiency for the benefit
OF the many, even though by so
doing the higher institutions of
learning may be held back for a
few years from becoming the
pride of the high salaried in
structors who preside over their
destinies.
Again, the children of the
Well-to-do can afford to attend
the universities and normal
schools of this or neighboring
states and pay their way through
such institutions, while the child
rem of the poor homesteaders
have a mighty hard time to buy
books and receive the benefits of
the mediocre district schools of
their section for three or four
months of the year, although
their parents are forced to paw
their full share of taxes to support
the state universities and normal
schools even though their child
rem may never have an oppor-
tunlty of attending either.
Therefore, we say, let the ap-
preparations be cut down to what
is an absolute necessity for a few
years and apply this surplus
money to the upbuilding of the
out-of-the-way country schools,
OF which our state still has a
goodly number. Far better re-
suits will obtain from the invest
ment and no material injury will
be done the higher institutions
of learning in Idaho.

Pending Developments
in Bulgaria.
TREASURY CONDEMNS
SHARING u. S. LOAN
Warning Welcomed, Though
Few Make Attempt-American
Response Gratifying.
BY FRANCIS W. HlRST.
Editor o, The Fc0rom's'.

London. Oct. 5.-Though great
satisfaction is naturally felt at the
great response Of the American sub
scription to the exchange loan. pub
lie attention is now concentrated on
the dramatic developments in the
Balkans, which threaten another
fratricidal war in Macedonia. Old
friends of Bulgaria here, like Sir
Edwin Pears, who gave the first in
telligence of the Bulgarian atrocities
in 1876, declare that 80 per cent of
the Bulgarian people abhor the pros
pect of war with Russia.
The London press fixes the respon-
sibility for the present crisis on the
inordinate ambition of King Ferdi-
nand. who is said to have been prom
ised Constantinople by the Central
Powers.
Bulgarian mobilization enables the
Bulgarian King to force an unpopu-
lar war on his subjects by decree
without parliamentary sanction. The
situation explains the hesltancy of
the stock markets to-day.
The Treasury's warning against
investment from this side in your
loan was welcomed, though only a
few can have attempted such an un-
patriotic and unintelligent action.
The darkening of London streets,
though disagreeable, should have a
good effect in stopping much waste
Of money in evening amusements.
Our newspapers have been hard
hit by the shrinking Of advertise
ment revenue and are protesting
against the increased budget charges
for kilograms and postage. The
Postmaster Generals reply is not en-
couraging, but it is surely unfair to
levy special taxes on war losses.
