counties to change from credit to =

izing a small levy to create sinking

series Of years permit such change of
financial basis to be made.
Whereas, several Thousand dollars
were spent by the Panama Pacific Ex-
position Commission Of the State of
Idaho for moving picture films. show
ing the resources of Idaho, and
Whereas, the Pacific Panama Inter-
national Exposition is now closed;
Therefore be it resolved, That the
county commissioners association Of
Idaho, assembled in convention at
Boise, Idaho, do recommend and urge
that the moving picture films adver-
tising the resources Of Idaho, upon
the ceasing of the Panama Pacific In
ternational Exposition Commission Of
Idaho, be placed in charge of the
State Board of Education to be used
to advertise the State of Idaho and for
educational purposes.
The following resolution, after con-
sideration, was laid on the table until
the next meeting:
That we favor a uniform budget
system for all counties in the state;
and pending the creation Of state
bureau of accounts, we recommend
that a committee of this convention
be appointed with instructions to de-
wise a suggested form for budget;
and that said committee be instructed
to confer and cooperate in devising
such form with the State Examiner
and with the officers or a committee
of the State Tax Association.

Men are not unhappy because events

Up to January 81, this year, l8
bills and joint resolutions have been
introduced in the United States SEN
ate, and 81 in the house of represent
atives. all Of which bear directly upon
the alcoholic liquor question. In ad-
dition to these, bills have been sub
mitted in both houses for amending
the constitution of the United States.
These bills cover a wide scope.
Eleven of them propose amendments
to the internal revenue laws and
affect the special tax of liquors.
Four measures, if passed, would pro-
hibit transportation in interstate COM
merce into any state of Intoxicating
liquors to be used in any way con-
trary to the laws of the state. or such
commerce in liquors entirely.
Various other prohibitory bills have
been introduced, including the traffic
in Hawaii. in Alaska, in national
parks and forest reservations, on
ships, in government buildings, ETC., &,
but the two measures of farthest
reaching effect are the amendment to
the Constitution for national prOhi-
bition. and prohibitory law for the
District of Columbia.
The demand for national prohibi-
tion of the alcoholic liquor traffic has
been growing in volume and from an
increasingly large area of country.
The agitation will continue until the
reasonable request of the people ir
the states has been granted, and many
men in public life are beginning to
see the political wisdom of removing
from national politics this vexing and
ever-present problem. as would auto
matically be done by the reference Of
this question to the states. The pro
hibition forces have not, however
won, and unceasing, hard work al
along the line must be kept up if sue
cess be won.

And that is e kind of law enforce
ment these pers would again cram
down the th-oats of the people of
Clearwater county.
Why, pray is there anything wrong
with any method sufficiently effective
to catch those who persist in violating
the law? Why should criminals be
accorded treatment other than of a
character that will effectively put a
stop to law violation?
1t is charged that the Clearwater
county officers employed disreputable
chap, fellow without standing, to
whom Elk River citizens. suspected of
violating the law, supplied booze.
In the name of common sense what is
wrong with any method that catches a
criminal? When did violators of law
come to have rights, and who es-
tablished code of criminal ethics
that officers of the law must observe
and respect?
Would they have the sheriff send
the pastor around with note telling
the gentlemen that they were sus-
pected, and begging them to deliver
the evidence that would convict?
But why such nonsense? A boot
logger is q criminal. He is as mucf
criminal as man who steals horses
or robs a bank. and the officers arr
justified, yes, they are duty bound, t.
use every possible effort to ferret ou
and punish the criminals. Nor il
there any sympathy due those who per
sistently break the laws Of thei
country,

At the recent state convention Of
county commissioners which met in
Boise the following resolutions were
adopted:
'That we recommend the organiza-
tion of the State Tax Association,
under the supervision of the Depart
ment of Political Science in the Uni
versity Of Idaho, and pledge our sup
port and cooperation to it for the
purpose of arriving at a solution Of
the problems Of taxation in this state.
That we favor the creation by leg
islative enactment of State Bureau
of Accounts for the purpose Of INSTALL
ing a uniform system of accounting,
auditing and reporting in all govern
mental units within the state.
That we favor the reorganization
of county government for the purpose
Of rendering it more efficient bust
ness unit. As an initial step in such
organization we favor an amendment
to the constitution providing that the
term Of county commissioners be ex.
tended to six years, and that the bill
be 80 drawn that one commissioner be
elected every two years. and that al
salaries and bills may be allowed
monthly.
That we favor amending the pres
ent Revenue law SO as to permit coun
ties to place their finances upon casf
basis. We particularly recommend
that the fiscal year be made to con
form to the tax year; that the pres
ent system Of payment of taxes il
two installments either be abolished
or, if retained, that it be so amende,
that both installments shall be paid il
the same year for which the taxes ar,

According to U. s. Department Of
Agriculture nearly 5000 girls in the
Is southern states were enrolled in
1915 in the girls canning clubs car
ried on comparatively by the State
agricultural colleges and the depart
ment. The purpose Of these clubs is
to encourage girls from 10 to Is years
to grow tomatoes and other vegetables
in tenth-acre gardens and to can their
products for home use or for sale.
These clubs are under the supervision
of nearly 400 women agents. who rep
resent jointly the Office Of Extension
Work, South, of the States Relations
Service, and the extension departments
of the several State colleges.
During the first year Of member
ship, those in charge find that caring
for one crop, preferably tomatoes, in
tenth-acre garden and selling OF
canning the product, gives even very
ambitious girl all the work she can do.
In the second and later years. how
ever, the girls are encouraged to raise
two or three different kinds of vege-
tables in their plots and to extend
their canning operations, as their skill
grows, to other surplus products OF
the farm, and especially to the put
ting up of small fruits, orchare
fruits, and native wild fruits, which

National Prohibition Rapidly Gaining Ground

The first prohibition bill which has
come under the consideration of Con-
gress won a victory a few days ago
when the Gronna amendment to the
Philippine bill was adopted in the
Senate by a vote of IS to 23. This
amendment to the bill prohibits the
sale or Offering for sale Of all intoxi-
eating liquors in the Philippine
islands with the exception of native
drinks which are prepared by the ma
tives for their own use and are never
touched by the whites of the island.
A drink prepared from the cocoanut is
an example of one of these native con-
coctions. A vigorous debate preced-
ed the voting in which the saloon evil
come in for some rough handling by
many of the senator's Senator Borah
and other dry advocates supported the
bill. The amendment by which native
drinks were eliminated from the gen.
eral dry bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Hitchcock and prevailed by a vote
of 80 to 26.
Those voting for the Gronna amend
ment were Senators Ashurst, Bank
head, Beckham, Borah, Chamberlain,
Chiffon, Clapp, Clark of Wyoming,
Cummings, Curtis. Fletcher, Gore,
Gronna, Jones, Kenyon, Lane, Lea,
Myers, Nelson, Norris, Overman,
Page, Poindexter, Shafroth, Shep-
pard, Sherman, Simmon, Smith of
Georgia, Smith of South Carolina,
Smoot, Sterling, Swanson, Thompson,
Townsend, Vardaman.
Those voting against the amend
ment were Bryan, Catron, Harding,
Hardwick, Hitchcock, Hollis, Hughes,

cheaply. Beyond 800 pounds it is
doubtful if under general conditions
feeding can be made profitable bus
mess. The hog, if properly fed, can
readily be put upon the market at 200
pounds in six or seven months.
Therefore have the pigs for the Sep
tember market dropped in the latter
part Of February or during March.
This will require that the breeding of
the sows begin about the latter part
of October or November first, continu-
ing, if necessary, during the first
week in December. The pigs for the
April market should be dropped in
early September. These pigs car
then be weaned before the November
breeding season starts. To have the
pigs dropped in September it will be
necessary to breed the sows during
May or early June. Under certain
conditions it may be possible to bring
hogs to the 2O0-pound mark at six
months; however, a great effort
should be made to attain this goal,
as time means money, and the longer
hogs are held the greater will be the
labor and overhead charges. The
cost of feed for maintenance also will
be increased.
Further, in connection with the rela-
tion of markets to hog raising, it will

Gently purchased from the state near

1t is also believed that other large
holders of Clearwater county timber
will start, possible the coming year,
in order to get ready to market when
the war ends and the promised era of
prosperity hits the world. Already
there is evidence of increased demand
for humber, France having recently
purchased many millions of feet in
the United States. Other countries
must, when peace comes, rebuild,
and on top of all this is certain and
positive home demand that will come
soon, regardless of war.
Since it will take at least two
years to build mill, equip it, and
get transportation from the forest to
the plant, it is easy to understand
why owners of timber must begin soon
