A Patriotic Wish.

(Detrolt Free PreSS)
I'd like to be the sort Of man the flag
could boast about,
I'd like to be the sort of man it canno,
live without;
I'd like to be the type of man
That really is American;
The head-erect and shoulders square
Clean minded fellow, just and fair,
Thatall men picture when they see
The glorious banner of the free.
I'd like to be the sort of man the flag
now typihes,
The kind of man we really want the
flag to symbolic;
The loyal brother of trust,
The big, unselhsh soul and just;
The friend of every man oppressed,
The stron~ support of all that's best
The sturdy chap the banners meant
Where'er it flies to represent.
I'd like to be the sort of man the flags
supposed to mean,
The man that all in fancy see wherever
it is seen;
The chap that's ready for a fight
Whenever there's a wrong to right
The friend in every time of need,
The doer of the daring deed,
The clean and generous handed mar
Thaet is real American.

The War And

The firm of Botkin- Harmon have been in business in
Caldwell for eight years.
In that time, we have through fair and honest bust
methods obtained the confidence of this community
We believe that all business is based on confidence.
Market conditions, owing to the war; have reached
point where feel that to retain your confidence it is
advisable to quote facts and figures.

\ consideration Of the above facts
leads us to the conviction that the
onl" way in which the school burdens
may be equaized satisfactorily and
the needs of children in the poorer
as well as in the richer districts fairly
met, is through a moderate State
School Levy, based upon the aggre-
gate taxable property of the entire
state, and pro rated to the counties at
say $1,000 per capita. Nearly $500 of
this amount is already provided by the
income from the State School Lands,
leaving little over 500 per capita
to be raised by a state levy.

COST OF SCHOOL
MAINTENANCE IN IDAHO
State Board of Education Has Gather
ed Statistics.

The State Department of Education
has recently completed the compila-
ton OF some interesting data concern
ing the cost of school maintenance
throughout the state, and the relation
OF school costs to the present financial
income of school districts. These data
were compiled from the reports of the
county superintendent for the school
year l914-lo15.
The result of these investigations
clearly indicates the inadequacy of the
present system of school revenue and
apportionment to meet fairly the needs
of all the pupils of the state. This
conclusion is based upon the follow
ing facts Many of the richer districts.
because of their greater taxable re-
sources, have funds available for
school purposes that amount to far
more than their school burden de-
mands; on the other hand the poorer
districts are struggling to maintain
adequate school facilities with utterly
insignificant funds to meet their needs.
The real significance of this fact will
be understood when it is realized that
the heaviest burden of school support,
amounting to 500 of the total cost,
|
! Another important consideration in
this connection is the fact that there
is a great disparity in the costs of
school maintenance in the various dis
tricts throughout the state; indeed
some of the poorer districts bear the
heaviest burdens, due to large expendi-
ment and consequent heavy cxpendi-
lures
Table | below indicates the great
disparity in the, school costs in var
ious districts of the state; Table II
shows the unequal ability of the dis
tricts to meet these costs:

CREASES SURPLUS FUND
$15,000.00

At a regular meeting of the board
of directors of the First National Bank
at the close of the years business on
December 31st, 1915, it vas decided
that the Surplus fund should be in
creased from SIC, 10000 to $25,000.00.
This will increase the working capital
of the bank $15,O00.0 90, and thereby
make the institution even more valu-
able to it's customers, and the public
in general, than it has been in the
past.
1t seemed to the directors to be an
especially fitting time to make this in,
crease in the working capital, as the
