IDAHo's SHARE IN ENL1sTMENTs.

IN WE understand it, the United States is undertake
N\ ing to organize at this time army 100000 state
u troops, including those already with the colors.
Idaho is now asked to furnish 1900 volunteers for the
regulars during the month of May This state already
has 1000 in the service If it meets the new REQUIRE
ment the total will be $780, whether called militia or reg
uar or better than per cent of the population shown
by the latest On the basis New York would
be required to furnish 100000 Illinois 6ooo Ohio At ooo
Alabama 21oOO California $780, Georgia 26OOo Mas
sachuses and Missouri, $4,000 each Kansas oOO Ore
gon 67OO, Washington II AGO. and so on.
If every state volunteered per cent of it's popua-
ton shown by the 1910 census the total enlstments
would be 100000 than now asked 1t is not
reasonable to assume then that per cent is the pres
ent uniform basis Why, then, in Idaho7
If population is to be the basis Indicated the army
of 100000 could be raised by recruiting onehaf of per
cent of the population Idahos share as per census fig
of 1870 would be 1925 We have more now in the
Second Idaho.
If we disregard the idea of combining state enlist
ments and apply the demand to the regular organiza
ton only find this state now required to raise over
O04 per cent of it's population 1910 census for the reg1
lars III the same proportion Of enstments secured
in all states the regular army would be increased by 4O
OOO considerably than is contemplated at the pres
ent time Any way figures it, an unfair percentage
seems to be asked of Idaho
This state wants to do it's share and will not shrk it's
duty but it asks be treated other states are treated
AS matter of absolute justice to the general cause

with great productive possibilities if labor can be secured

THE LITTLE THINGS.

THE LITTLE THINGS.
The little things in life are those
That bring a solace for our woes,
And poets often love to sing
The joys and happiness they bring,
The tender word, the friendly smile,
These often come to cheer us, true,
But little things once, in a while,
an bother, too.
The little things-a little BILL
A little touch of toothache's i'll,
"A little one whose tummy hurts,
And little buttons off our shirts,
The little cut the barber makes,
The little calls that bore and such,
The little toe that often aches,
The little touch;
The little mot we might have said, +
The little party overhead,
The little crouch chat little helpsD
And Towser's little midnight yelps-
We like the pretty little verse
The little poet sweetly sings,
And yet at times we're moved to curse
The little things!

Our Fighting Friends
First-AnOther Matter
of Wooden Ships

The agreement reached with the oper-
ators in bituminous coal under which
consumers will get coal at the mine price,
plus cost of transportation and p cents
per ton commission. naturally makes
prominent the question as 10 fuel condi-
tons amongst our allies.
Cold, rather than hunger was the
chief horror borne by the people of
France and Italy last winter, and ire
mendous increase Of suffering must come
next winter unless something is done
at once.
England can furnish France and Italy
sufficient coal but her difficulty is to ship
il across the channel
She can make the passage safely but
she hasn't the ships, and is losing ships
every day; hence, it would seem that
America must be, largely. depended up
on to remove the deficiency
Here comes in our question of steel
ships or wooden ships.
To help in Transporting fuel across the
English channel, we have got TO supply
a lot or ships at the earliest possible
moment, as Jack Frost waits for nobody.
1t is certain that we can turn out wood
en- cargo ships much more rapidly than
we can steel ships.
Again. the European neutrals. now so
anxious about President Wilson's export
plans. are importing American stuff in
American ships. thus saving their own
merchant fleets from U-boat dangers and
reserving them for competition with
American trade ships after the war
Compelling these neutrals To put their
own fleets into transatlantic service
would release American ships for that
tranS-channel fuel service.
Why should our shius run the U-boat
gauntlet when they might be safely sun
plying France and Italy with the all
necessary fuel?

Jim" Kept Right On
the Job Until Michigan
Lost a Competent Man

Just line to give credit to man who
deserves all the credit we can give him.
His name is Jim" Cunningham.
Last Saturday morning we would have
had to refer to him as James Cunning
ham. commissioner of labor for the state
of Michigan but today We can call him
Jim because his term has expired and
he takes his place with us down among
the common ''peepul."
We want to tell you about "Jims" last
days in Office, in particular
As commissioner of labor he was on
the job, delivering days work to Mich
igan for every days pay that he took
down, and efficiency was the thing aimed
at and achieved.
Jim" made good in the office. but the
point we want to make is this: He kept
right on the job and didn't quit work
until the whistle blew = didn't start
washing up at 10 minutes to, in other
words.
We met him on the street Just few
days before his term expired and he told
US he was waist deep in work
What's that?

lesson that the American people are
learning slowly is that democracy does
not necessarily mean inefliciency.
Monarchy. absolutism, Prussianism,
and all that sort of thing has it's ex-
cusc IN the fact that it does things The
absolute boss who can act without con-
sultlng any one cam act without delay of
disputing Senates and councils.
In the first breakaway from one-man
power the people fly to the opposite ex-
IRENE and become a quarreling mob. All
forms of American government have
been thus faulty. Waste, graft. bossism,
and confusion have characterized our
city. county, state and national govern
ments.
We are getting our second wind, how
ever. There are indications that we are
determined To make democracy efficient.
Tins we can do by shortening the ballot.
simplifying machinery, centralizing re-
SponSlbility. and demanding of public SER
wants that they make good or quit.
In other words. we are beginning to
realize that government is a business TO
be conducted by competent experts. We
are paying more attention to a mans
ability to administer his office than to his
ability to get elected to it.
An article in the Grand Rapids Press
throws an interesting light on this by
giving the details Of what the commits
sion-manager plan has done for Jackson,
Mich, a typical city of 10000 inhabi-
tants
Previous to Jackson's adoption Of the
commlssion-manager plan the city was
in the bog of debt deficit, and disorder
usual in the American aidermanic muSi-
cipality Then the city hired a man
named Gaylord Cummin, made him re-
sponsible boss, just as if he were fore
man Of a factory. and told him to go
to it.
After year or so Jackson shows re-
suits some of which are as follows:
Municipal officers were taken out of
politics.
All city purchasing is placed in the
hands Of one agent
Three hundred and eighty-three thou
sand dollars worth of property illegally
exempted from taxation was returned to
the rolls.
All cash discounts are taken.
Sanitary inspection was made efficient.
rigid milk inspection inaugurated, and
tuberculosis hospital was equipped.
The waste of hundreds of thousands
Of gallons of water was stopped and the
entire sewage system redesigned.
Scientific methods were adopted in the
appraisal of property and in expendi-
lures.
All charities were organized and re-
lief work superintendent by competent
expert
Finances have been set in order A
floating deficit of $4,000 from over
drafts that had been carried for years
was wiped out. The city indebtedness
was decreased more than $4,000
The city ordinances are being over
hauled lot of obsolete laws removed.
and revision made that will give the
citizens a compact and understandable
set Of laws
Every department Of civic life has felt

strates that democracy. when it serious
