The four grains will cost only two

Big Year in Sight

From an agricultural and live stock
standpoint, the outlook for the coming
year could hardly be brighter A few
weeks ago there was much concern
over the cattle contagion that was
raging east Of the Mississippi river,
but late reports indicate that the out
break has practically been suppressed
and within another month the move
ment Of live stock will be restored TO
its normal condition. On the princi-
pie Of Safety First" the National
Western Stock Show was abandoned,
but the business interests Of Denver
have taken up all the features OF the
Show which can be handled without
danger and are adding new features
and Stock Show week in Denver prom
ises to be practically as large as ever.
Stockmen are going to gather there
from all parts Of the West for the
purpose Of talking over the situation
and making plans for he coming year.
One Of the greatest advantages Of the
annual gathering in Denver is the
opportunity it affords the stockmen
and farmers to get together and com
pare notes and acquire an accurate
understanding Of the situation before
commencing their years work. Den
yer is going the limit this time to
make the show features Of unusual in
tcrest. The railroads are making
the usual reduced rates and there is
no question but that the attendance
will be large.

THE WAR TAX
Better Name Would BE Democratic
Failure Tax

The official figures given out by
the democratic department heads at
Washington are now at hand, and
they show beyond the slightest chance
Of dispute just the reason for the
war tax" and what misnomer that
name is.
The imports for the year 1914 were
many millions more than in 1913 in
spite Of the interruption Of commerce
for a few weeks at the start Of the
war. and the revenue derived from the
tariff duties on them was several
millions more than the amount esti-
mated by Leader Underwood in his
defense of the bill The deficiency
was due to two causes. The much her
aided income tax fell S5l,OOO,OOO
short of producing the revenue esti-
mated. Leader Underwood predicted
S73 10000 and the collectors realized
%, 100000. OF course the incomes
Of the country crumbled under the
effects Of democratic legislation, but
not quite so bad as that. A consider
able portion Of it was due to the US
ual extravaganza Of democratic fig
uring. The other cause was that the
administration spent SS6,O00,0O0 more
than it estimated, and more than that
much more than the last Taft year.
These two items created a deficit of
SI37, 100000 and even the so-called
war tax with all its annoying features
will not balance the books. More war
tax or a sale of bonds will be the
result,

1918. Any employe who so desires,
can after March l, 1917, but not be
fore, pay in the balance on his stock
and receive his stock certificate.
Should an employe leave the service
or die before his stock is fully paid

the accumulated dividends Oess 4 per

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company is the parent COM
pany of the Bell Telephone System
which operates or connects with eight
and half million telephone stations
throughout the United States.
1t has about 10000 stockholders and
100000 employees. Its issued capital
stock is nearly S35O,OOOOOO, and is
quoted on the Stock Exchanges at
about $lls per share.
The company makes it plain that no
employe is under any obligation to
buy any stock, but it is believed that
a considerable number of employees
will take advantage Of this opportun-
ity to save little money every month
and invest it in the business.

search and seizure bill, together with
other measures that are deemed neces-
sary to put the amendment into eff
feet.
In this connection there is one
feature which will command the im-
mediate attention Of the assembly. A
number of saloon keepers in the state
have purchased licenses TO sell whis-
key through the year 1916 Under the
constitutional amendment giving US
.he initiative and referendum, amend
ments to the constitution take effect
following a proclamation of the gov
ernor to the effect that they are in
force. Governor Ammons has not yet
issued such proclamation. There is
nothing to hinder man buying Ii
cense in advance if he wants to, and a
number Of the Denver saloon keepers
did this very thing 1t was done for
the purpose Of testing the proposition
if the license will be lega, after the
prohibition amendment has gone into
effect.
These are a few of the things the
people Of the state are watching with
view of determining the policy of
the coming administration.

American Wastefullness

There is no doubt that Americans
have been and are wasteful in compar-
ison with the people Of more thickly
populated countries Of Europe. They
will get over it as population increases
here indeed, it is safe 10 say that
there is less wastefulness in the Unit
ed States than in former years when
there was less demand on our natur-
al resources. People are not prepared
to accept ii as literally true that the
food consumed and wasted in this
country is sufficient to feed popula-
tion twice as large. Indeed, they will
discredit the statement. Another state
ment that cultivation Of vacant lots
and other waste land would provide
food for still another 10O,000,000 will
be readily accepted as easily within
the nark-even doubling our present
population and adding the 100000, 900
TO it. We have a lot Of unused out
doors available for crop growing. As
for the waste, persons who dissent
from the statement of DR.. Lichty OF
the University Of Pittsburg made re-
Gently, should bear in mind that the
household wastefulness is only a part
Of it.
There is much waste on the farm
and tremendous waste between farm
and consumer. It is only necessary
to mention the apple crop Of the past
season. which was described as so
large that it rotted on trees or ground
because it did not pay the farmer to
market it at prevailing prices. This
was one Of the things which was in
the minds Of the Belgian party re-
Gently on an official visit to this coun-
try, when. in a reply TO a question as
to what had most impressed them
while here, several replied in unison.
"The waste" They saw from our car
windows waste that would have fed
their starving country. 1t is less true
than it once was that American fami-
lies are prodigal of their resources,
though they remain sufficiently 80,
but the wastcfulness Of the machin-
cry Of distribution or marking, which
may be charged with the failure to
gather so much Of the apple crop, is
such as to cause grief-Pittsburg

TELEPHONE STOCK


Denver, Colo, Jan. 4.-The Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany announces that arrangements
have been made by which employees
of the Bell System who have been
two years or more in the service and
who desire may purchase stock Of
the Company for $l1O per share on
easy terms of payment.
No employe can purchase more than
one share for each $500 Of annual
wages he receives, nor more than ton
shares whatever his wages.
The terms of payment will be $500
per share per month beginning with
March, 1915 and the quarterly divi-
dends paid on the stock will go to
wards paying for it after deducting
interest at 4 per cent per annum on
the unpaid balances.
The American Company has paid s
per cent dividends for seven years,
and it is calculated that dividends at
this rate and the $500 per share per
month payments by employees will pay
for the stock in full by November,

HIGH STANDARDS AND SMALL
SCHOOLS

1t has further been pointed. out that
there is also possible in the schools of
smaller enrolment a more careful Sc
lection of courses and more care
full selection of teachers.
The smaller the school and the
closer the association of pupil ana
teacher, the higher should be the
grade of employees. Erratic tempera-
ments, one-sided minds, and ill-disci-
plined natures are often met with in
the teaching force of large universities
where. perhaps, idiosyncrasies and
limitations have slight power to harm.
They are not frequently tolerated in
colleges where there are not more
than 1000 students.
In the small schools sanity, whole
someness, strict conformity to ac-
cepted rules of department, breadth OF
view, richness Of personality, and
well-balanced nature are among the
prime necessities. 1t is the recogni-
ton of this fundamental need which
has made many numerically small
schools tremendous forces in the edu-
cational life of America.

HAVE YOU CATARRH?
It's Dangerous Disease-Hyomei is
the Effective Remedy

Catarrh, which is indicated by sniff
ing, frequent colds and crusts in the
nose is a serious disease and if not
checked surely spreads to the delicate
lining of the air passages, and fire.
quently destroys the hearing.
To cure catarrh you must have some
thing that will quickly reach the dis
eased tissues, kill the germs, and drive
out the poison.
Hyomei is just such remedy. Be
ing a mixture of antiseptic oils that
you breathe through a small inhaler
it's notwithstanding medication can
not help going direct to the raw and
infiamed lining of the nose and throat,
quickly relieving that choked-up feel
ing, stopping the unclean discharges,
and healing the sore spots-you
breathe freely. Even the worst cases
respond at once.
There is nothing for the treatment
of catarrh ills that is easier, more
pleasant or so satisfying as Hyomei

THE PALOUSE IRRIGATION PRO-
JECT

On the same broad ground taken
by the sponsors of the Palouse project,
that one community profits by the de-
velopment of another, we might have
expected greater things of irrigation
projects under way or already COM
pleted in Idaho. AS matter of fact
the irrigation projects in Idaho have
not been unqualified successes in de-
yeloping the state. At the present
time they offer to prospective settlers
the same opportunities that the Pa
louise project would offer them. Such
opportunities have not been and likely
will not be exhausted in the near
future. Without regard to any di-
rect interest residents of Latah coun-
ty might have in the project, the ne
cessity for or wisdom of reclaiming
more arid land for the general well
being of the Northwest is not appar-
emit
That Latah county will suffer from
lNG lUIfillOI vi q itSSi fCil Oli LIZ L u
louise River above Potlatch no one
denies. That land in the territory that
would be damaged by such reservoir
could be improved at less expense than
the arid land of central Washington
seems probable. i.
While the instinct Of self preserva-
ton may be sufficient to justify the
opposition of Idaho citizens to the To-
cation of a reservoir in this county,
a worthy regard for the greater pub
lie good may demand their opposi-
ton to the project as a whole, SO long
as like irrigation projects have not
better records, and there appear to be
possibilities of bigger returns on pub
lie money invested in reclamation
elsewhere.

THOSE who journey south to meet
Z the spring, with heads bedecked
in her honor, have remarkably wide
range of choice in the new millinery.
In shape there are the diminutiye "pill
box" the numerous boat-shaped tur-
bans, all sorts and kinds of sailors,
many military styles, and lovely wide
brimmed hats in lacy straws and d.
aphanous materials.
AS for trimmings, there are many
new departures. All sorts Of gayly-
colored flowers (mostly smalD,a world
of new ornaments of ribbons (mostly
narrow, and innumerable handmade
decorations OF silk, straw, kid, feath-
ers and other things.
Handwork is featured in this new
millinery. Ornamental stitches in
needlework, much exaggerated in size,
and cross-stitched designs are used
in finishing and applying trimming
In fact, large part Of the decora-
lions are sewed fiat to the shape in
the form of applique, the sewing being
an important part of the scheme.
In colors, beside the beautiful sand,
Irvine, and tan colors, there are many
white hats, including panamas, gray
which is called "battleship" gray,
without any good reason, and many
shades of blue and red that may be
called reserved" Black seems not
to be in the running.
Three of the smaller hats are shown
in the picture At the left is narrow
brimmed sailor Of white satin. 1t is
carefully made and distinguished by
trimming Of small chrysanthemums
cut from white kid, and stems made
of kid also.
A dark gray hat of satin belongs
among the boat-shaped models and is
trimmed with short peacock feathers
and leaf-shaped pieces of velvet sewed
fiat to the shape with the heavy
black embroidery silk The buttonhole
stitch outlines the leaves, and the
leaves overlap the edges Of the pea
cock feathers holding them to place.

More Power Should Be
Given Governors
Of States
By Ex~President WILLIAM H.
TAFT

THE present governmental struc-
j ture in the state of New York
does not concentrate power or
fix responsibility for the financial
welfare of the state. In addition to
the governor, you have in your ex-
ecutive branch at least three other
important officers exercising wide
powers and great patronage who are
elected by the people and over
whose action the governor has no
control and exercises no superior
authority. 1t divides accountable
ty, enables each independent official
to charge whatever is criticised in
the state government upon another
and leaves no opportunity for CON
structive leadership, WHICH IS
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO
WISE AND ECONOMICAL AID
MINISTRATION OF THE GOV
ERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES.
It seems to me as clear as any
thing can be that system by which
governor elected by the people
shall have power to appoint the
heads of all executive bureaus in
the state is likely to result, first,
in the selection Of better man for
these subordinate offices and men
more expert in the discharging Of
their duties, and, second, THAT
SUCH OFFICES, BEING UNDER
THE CONTROL OF THE GOV
ERNOR, ARE LIKELY TO BE
RUN BETTER AS PART OF A
UNIFIED MACHINE.
