The state board of education
this week unanimously passed q
budget calling for the expendi-
ture of a grand total of $5O8, 200
during the next two years for
improvements in buildings, e.
quipment, plans, lands and side
walks for the six educational in
situations of the state and the
budget in its entirety will be rec
commended for passage at the
coming session of the legislature.
This is just for the six higher
institutions of learning in the
state and does not include any of
the town or rural schools. Edu-
cation certainly comes high in
Idaho, and the worst of it is that
it is an education for the few in
stead of the many.

To Our Readers

Owing t o the constantly in
creasing price of everything in
the printing line (many items of
which have advanced fully one
hundred per cent within the past
year, owing to war conditions)
the Chronicle finds It necessary
to call upon all subscribers to pay
up their subscriptions promptly,
and in advance. After January
first we will go on strictly cash
in advance basis and subscrip :
tions not paid in advance will be
charged for at the rate of $500
per year after that date. The
increased cost of publishing the
paper under present conditions
makes this step necessary and we
hope our readers will realize the
difficulties under which we are
laboring and do their part to
help carry the burden.

Cottonwood is the making of
the future city of central Idaho.
It depends entirely on our people
as to how large or how small this
city will become. If we have
abundant faith in our town and
country we are bound to build up
a nice town here. If we lack
faith the town will grow no larger
than it is at present. Without
faith of our own we cannot i'm
press others with the benefits of
living here and if we lack faith
in the future of our town and
community we will not invest
here and our friends will go else
where. However, faith is not
lacking and the town is building
larger day by day. Witness The
many improvements made during
the past year and the decision
reached this week to install cold
storage equipment at the new
creamery. If we are to build a
city here in time it will be we'll to
lay some of the needed founda-
ton at no distant day. We should
install sewer system and then
take up street paving. 1t would
be folly to do the street work
first and then tear it up to put in
the sewer pipes. Both sewer
and paving will come in time, SO
why not be getting ready for
them. Think the matter over
and be ready to put your shoulder
to the wheel and help the pro-
jects along.

who ranks with the foremost news
paper men of America. Since the
opening of the presidential cam
paign the Herald has been devoting
two columns on it's editorial page to
letters from its subscr bers touching
the qualifications of President Will
son and Nh hughes. In announcing
its preference for Wilson the Herald
declares that its course has been
dictated by the majority of the big
Herald family" as the papers
readers are called.
The editorial in part follows:
'There is a strong and reasonable
sentiment in this country in fayor al
rewarding the efforts of tried and
acceptable public servants by re-
election. We see this principle in
voked in every contest from the
smallest political fight to the great
est national struggle. A president
who has done we'll is conceded the
right to denomination. There is 10
reason why this test should not be
applied at this time to President
Wilson. On the record, as a whole
of things done. on the prospect OF
things TO be done is there a real
reason for the American at this time
to repudiate the president There
are TO the Herald good reasons why
they shoulu not do So Out of the
.disquietude of recent events the
nation has sailed into the calmer
seas of the present. But what Am
erican can or should forget in so
short time the manifold difficult
ties which confronted President Will
son during the first two years of the
war? What AMc rican can or should
forget that he was called on almost
at every moment 20 act on matters
big with the fate of the nation?
What just man can overlook how
anxiously he studied the public OBJ
inion of the ccwntrH, That he might
put the decision of ,he government.
in accord Herewith Above all who
can forget that he acted not in the
light of subsequent events but un-
der the direct menace of the event
itself?
1.-THE Herald sees no real reason
for the belief expressed by cam
.paign orators that MI Wilson'S re-
election means commercial disaster.
1t sees much reason, as Mr.. Loyett
said, why a national party that has
