BR|TONS PROMISE
WOMEN FRANCHISE
PLEDGE TENTATIVELY GIVEN BY
BRITISH PREMIER IN SPEECH
BEFORE COMMONS.
Threat of Women to Refuse to Recogs
nize Any Change in Franchise In
Favor of Fighting Men Has
lts Effect.

London. The decision of the cabi-
net that the undertaking of new fran
chise and registration reforms in the
midst of a great war was too complex
and controversial a problem was an
nounced by Premier Asquith in the
house of commons on Monday AT a
time, said the premier, when the war
had reached happy, promising stage
and when it more than ever required
the absolute concentration of the gov
ernment, it was impossible TO consider
the large questions involved in a re-
vision of the franchise. He further
implied that any new bill for fran
chise reforms in the future must OF
necessity include women
After a brief criticism by Sir Ed
ward Carson, who urged that every
combatant, irrespective Of age, was
entitled to vote and contended there
was no reason why the womens
claims should stand in the way Oh
giving all combatants vote, the house
passed the first reading of the bill ex-
tending the life of the present parlia-
ment for eight months. A separate
bill bringing into force a new regis
ter on the basis of present qualifica-
tions on May 21 next will be intro
duced in the house.
There is no doubt that one of the
main reasons for the government $
avoidance of the franchise problem
was the threat of the women that
they would refuse to recognize any
change in the franchise in favor or
fighting men which failed at the same
time to recognize women's rights to
the franchise.

To the Voters of Idaho:

for the nomination for the Office of
Secretary of State on the Republican
ticket, subject to the will of the cleo
tors at the primaries to be held on
Tuesday. September 5th. 1916.
have been a resident of the state

am persuaded by experience that
this can be most effectively accomp-
lished by giving the farmers cheaper
money with which to make these inn

order to do this l would favor the

He Had Lot of Common Sense.


There was an old geezer and he had
a lot of common sense. He started up
a business on dollar eighty cents.
The dollar for the stock and the
eighty for an ad brought him three
lovely dollars in day, by dad
Well, he bought more goods and a
little more space, and he played that
system with a smile on his face.
The customers ffocked to his 2x4
and soon he had to hustle for regu-
lar store. Up on the square where
the people pass, he gobbled up cor
ner that was all plate glass. He fixed
up the windows with the best that
he had and told them all about it in
a half page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he
never, never quit, and he wouldn't cut
down on his ads one jit. And he's
kept things humping in the town ever
since, and everybody calls him the
Merchant Prince.
Some say it's luck, but that's all
bunk=why he was doing business
when the times were punk

was wise-for he knew the way to
get em was to advertise -Ex.

IDAHO FALLS
ROUNDUP

The fifth annual Roundup will be
held this year at Idaho Falls on Sep
tember 4, 5, 6, and s, and the man
agement of the big fair promises a
big time. He writes us that we can
just say for him that it will be one
h. of time and that everyone who
wanders around Idaho Falls will have
the time of their life.
The Oregon Short Line is advertis-
ing rates for the occasion and hun
dreds of pieces of advertising matter
have been scattered all over the Unit
ed States and as a result there will be
many people there from the eastern
states, many routing their trips to
the Yellowstone Park via Idaho Falls.
The association through its man
ager, Dow Williams, has made the af-
fair not only big but novel and en-
tertaining. Nothing but the best will
be allowed on the grounds and these
will include riders, Indians and stock.
The daily events provide that the
program shall have "a events and
many extras.
Three big bands will furnish the
music for the occasion and besides
the frontier day sports through the
day time each evening will see big
crowds on the streets for there will
be a street carnival in full swing and
dancing will be held on the street.
Anyone wishing information should
write to Dow Dunning at Idaho Falls
who will cheerfully furnish any in
formation wanted.

RICHFIELD COUNTY, IDAHO FRIDAY, AUGUST
AID
FOR ROADS
Government to Spend Much
Money on Highways

Washington, D. c., July 81, 1916.
My dear Editor-After many years
of constant effort on the part of the
farmers of this country, aided more
recently by the business men and
owners of automobiles, congress has
finally enacted the bill providing for
Federal aid in the construction of
good roads. | am sure that every
Idahoan will be interested in know
| ing definitely the direct benefits that
our state will receive by reason of
the adoption of this measure.
The new law provides an appropri-
alton of $5,0OO,000 for the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1916, $10,-
100000 for 1917; $15,O0O,0O0 for
I1918, $2O,OOO,O0O for 1919, and
$25,00O,0O0 for 1920, which sums
are to be expended by the secretary
of agriculture, cooperating with the
state highway departments in the
construction of rural roads over

may be hereafter transported.
In order to obtain the benefits of
this act the state must by act of the
legislature assent to its terms, but
until the legislature meets the gov
ernor can assent. The state must
also contribute at least an equal sum
in money, materiel or labor toward
the constructing of any proposed
road The money appropriated by
this act will be apportioned among
the various states according to three
factors: one third in the ration which
the area of the state bears to the to-
tai area of all the states, one third
according to the population, and one
third according to the mileage of ru-
raj delivery and star routes compared
with the total mileage of such routes
in the United States.
Idaho has of the total in the un-
ion 2.S2 per cent of the area; 1856
per cent of the population, and SO
per cent of the postal route mileage
of the United States. By consolidat-
ing these three factors and dividing
by three we find that Idaho is entitled
to 1856 per cent of the total appro-
priations made under this act which
means that the following sums of
money will be available for road con-
struction in Idaho for the next five

FEARFUL TOLL OF WAR.
Over Three Million Lose Lives In Past
Year and Six Million Wounded.

Estimates OF war casualties based
on official data show that the second
year of the war has cost more than
100000 lives and has inflicted
wounds on more than 100000. Esti-
mates for the first year ranged be-
tween the German report of 2,5OO,0oO
slain and more than 100000 wound
ed and Beach Thomas estimate of o.
100000 killed and 100000 wounded.
Up to the period of the present
great offensives the British had lost
in killed or totally incapacitated 22S,-
1873 and 6S,046 in prisoners; Germany,
respectively, 664.552 and 137,76S;.
France, according to Deputy LQpguet,
900 900 and 100000. German reports
of Russian casualties amounted to
5000, 900, OF whom 100000 were pris-
oners. Austria is just now trying to
have her men up to so years enrolled.

he Wilson administration praises state.

The Wilson administration praises
itself as smasher of the trusts which
its platform alleged were due to Re-
publican legislation. But no mention
is made of the names of any trusts
that have been busted, or the benefits
derived therefrom. Evidently, there
we're no unlawful trusts, as charged,
or the administration has failed to do
any busting.
1t is strange indeed that Democrat
editors can't see that the very Ian
guage of their assertions regarding
revived business conditions is sufii-
cient contradiction of the line of rea-
soning they pursue. For instance,
the New York World says that "if
the prosperity of the United States is
temporary, it is the biggest thing of
the kind that the world has ever
seem. Of course, and it is due to the
biggest war the world has ever seen.
No Democratic editor or speaker can
use this biggest ever" expression
without forcing every reader and
hearer to the thought that it is
coincident with a foreign war that is
the biggest ever" If the war is
temporary, then it's results in this
country must be temporary If it is
to be a permanent war, then we can
rely upon it to maintain sort of
protection against foreign importa-
tions into our markets and to provide
us fairly steady market for our pro-
ducts. Our biggest ever" export
trade will end when the biggest
ever" war ends.
News dispatches say that Ameri-
can tin dealers and manufacturers
we're surprised by the recent ship
ment of 2,1S8 tons of tin from China.
Why be surprised? The American
tin industry was built up with much
difficulty even with the aid of a pro-
tective duty of $1.20 per hundred.
The democratic administration want
ed more tin imported and less made
in America, so the duty was reduced
to about AZ cents per hundred
pounds. Formerly we bought our tin
in Wales. We are still buying much
of it there, and making some our
selves, but unless the Democratic
tariff policy shall be reversed at the
polls in November, we shall eventu-
ally buy our tin in China, to which
country we shall send our money for
the employment of Chinese labor
which we won't permit to be admit
ted to this country.
With such old time antagonists as
ex-Senators Hemenway and Bever-
idge of Indiana working side by side

Indiana will cast her ELECTORAL votes

licans to the United States Senate in

now misrepresent the real political
beliefs of the people of the Hoosier

A few months ago President Will
son gave out an interview in which he
said that he found it best to take
counsel with himself because he
found advisors too much guided by
their own selfish interests. In an ad-
dress later he said that he had found
only two or three men who were UNI
selfish in the advice they gave. Evi-
IDENTIFY he has heard the rumblings of
resentment and fears the conse-
quences at the election in November,
for he said recently at Detroit that he

the Russians have been thrown back

In other words, $941,200 will be
contributed from the federal treas
ury to assist in building highways in
Idaho during the ensuing five years

Idaho will receive by the enactment
of this legislation, for Section OF

each year for the next ten years, to be
expended under the. supervision of
the Secretary of Agriculture upon the
request of the state or county author
tiles in the construction and mainten-
ance of roads, within, or partly within
the national forests. The states or
the counties in which the forest re-
serves are located are required to en-
ter into cooperative agreements with
the department of agriculture to pay
for the roads that they want built
upon a bisis equitable both to them
and to the United States. The fed
eral government is to be reimbursed
for the money thus advanced by de-
posting in the treasury 10 per cent OF
the revenues received from the tim
Der and forage resources OF the for
ests wherein the roads are located
until the loan is paid. This forest
reserve provision in no way interferes
with the present law whereby the
state and counties are now receiving
for road and school purposes 25 per
cent of the gross receipts of the ma
tional forests, and an additional 10
per cent for road construction within
such national forests.
The total area of all the national
forests in the United States is 1885,
356,353 acres, of which a little less
than one-seventh, or about 10000
900 acres are located in Idaho. The
national forests of our state are as
valuable in timber and forage re-
sources generally as reserves in other
states, and it is therefore reasonable
to assume that Idaho will receive the
benefits of this forest reserve proyi-
sion In the ratio which the forest re-
