and has some very decided and empha-
tic opinions as to the manner in which
the business OF the state of Idaho
should be handled. He says, there is
no difference i'll principle in public
and private business, and there should
be no difference in the method of its
transaction. In commenting on this
he said
I'VE can legislate around the land
board and change its personnel from
now until doomsday, but we will not
remedy the existing evils. The sys-
tenn is wrong and will require consti-
tutional amendment before a proper
method of handling the business can
be had. 1t is impossible for members
of the state land board to handle sat
lsfactorlly the tremendous volume of
necessarily haphazard manner in
which it now has to be handled. Only
very small portion of the time of
the members of the land board can
be devoted to the business of the
board. Every member is also a mem
Der of numerous other boards, each
OF which requires more or less time
and consideration.
"The business of the state land
board should be handled through a
bipartisan board with a responsible
head, the members and officials Of
which would devote all their time to
the consideration and transaction Of
the large and increasing volume Of
business of the board. AT present the
responsibility of the board is divided
among five members. One member
is no more responsible than another

CRUM FAv0RS BUILDING
NORTH AND SOUTH
WAGON ROAD

Geo. E. Crum of Lewiston, Idaho,
Republican candidate for nomination
for governor, was in Caldwell few
hours last Friday, Mr.. Crum spoke
with confidence regarding his out
look for the nomination. He stated
that if he is nominated north Idaho
will give him several thousand ma
iority in the general election which
would assure beyond any doubt
his election. He will carry not only
the normal Republican vote of North
Idaho, but will make big inroads into
the Democratic vote as well. He also
feels that he will carry the normal
Republican in the south in the gen.
eral election, plus some gains from
the democratic ranks, thus assuring his
election. if nominated, by large ma
jority.
Mr.. Crum came through from
Lewiston by auto over the proposed
route of the north and south highway,
via Whitebird, higgins and New
Meadows He is very enthusiastic
about the construction of this high
way. In discussing this he made the
following statement:
"The distance from Grangeville to
New Meadows is approximately &C
miles. Probably 40 miles of this
distance a good highway could be
constructed with comparatively little
expense. With the opportunity now
for federal aid the cost of the state
and counties will be materially less.

BONDS OF DISTRICT
SHOULD Be FUNDED

AS stated in the last issue of The
Tribune there will be special cleo
ton in the Pioneer Irrigation District
for the purpose of voting upon the
issuance of the bonds of the district.
The election will be held Monday,
August 28th AT this election two
propositions will be submitted to the
people of the district, viz; the au-
thorization of the bonds of the district
in the sum of $78,oSOOO for the pur-
pose of cementing the sidehill of the
Phyllis canal; and the authorization of
bonds in the sum of $l8o, 100000 for
the purpose of refunding bonds which
become due during the eight years.
The cementing of the Phyllis side
hill is an Improvement that should
be authorized. 1t has been thorough
ly investigated by the board of direc-
tors and a saving in maintenance in
water, and in crops amply justify the
improvement Figures dealing with
the benefits of this particular improve
ment will be submitted later in these
columns.
The necessity for the improvement
of the Phyllis canal at the hillside is
known to the landowners Of the Pho
neer Irrigation District but actual facts
will be appreciated. These facts will
be published before the election.
Bonds Falling Due
The proposition of issuing refunding
bonds to take up the bonds that will be-
come due during the next few years
will most certainly carry. The Pho
neer Irrigation District is in splendid
condition financially but it is the part
of wisdom to spread the liquidation
of the present outstanding bonds over
a longer period of time.
Mr.. J. Jester, Jr.. secretary of the
Pioneer Irrigation Distict has pre-
pared for The Tribune table of out
standing bonds of the District showing
the amounts and date of maturity
This table is entirely self explanatory
1t will be noted that in 1917, $32, l0C
will have to be paid out unless the
bonds are refunded. This will be q
too heavy and entirely unnecessary
tax upon the people of the district.
The bonds and interest become due
as follows unless the refund issue i:

SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD COST
etate To- Far Behind Most Others In
Amount Spent for improvement
of Its Highways. r

There are now only four states in
the Union that have not enacted laws
providing for state aid for good roads
work. One of these states is South
Carolina, the others being Indiana,
Mississippi, and Texas. These three
other states. however, are above South
Carolina in expenditures for road
work. Indeed. according to informa-
ton which has been received at Glenn
son college from the United States
department OF agriculture, this state
cannot boast Of its record In road
work and is considerably behind most
of the other states of the Union in this
respect.
In 1914, South Carolina spent ST.
900, 900, on road work, this money COM
ing from local funds of counties, town.
ships, and districts. There were no
expenditures by the state and local
units jointly, or by the state alone.
In the same period, Indiana spent $751;
1858, 761 and Iowa spent Sill, 1863 900. Nor
does South Carolina compare we'll
with even the other southern states.
As against this states 100000,
North Carolina spent $3,930,0OO. Geor-
gia, $2,5OO,OOO Alabama, $2,795,0Oo;
Mississippi, 1886, 900; Tennessee.
$4,000, 900; Texas, $3,75O,000. In fact,
the only states on the list which are
not above South Carolina in road ex-
penditures are the undeveloped states
of Arizona Nevada, New Mexico.
Utah, and Wyoming; and the diminu-
tive commonwealth Of Delaware.
Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The total Of all surfaced roads in
South Carolina is 1883 miles. In this
respect, the state compares favorably
with many, since its percentage Of
surfaced roads is 17.3, making it the

Habits and economic status: In
many localities the catbird is one of
the commonest birds. Tangled
growths are its favorite nesting places
and retreats. but berry patches and
ornamental s%hrubbery are not dis.
dained. Hence the bird is a familiar
dooryard visitor. The bird has a fine
song, unfortunately marred by occa-
sional cat calls. With habits similar
to those of the hooking bird and a
song almost as varied, the catbird has
never secured a similar place in pop.
