UNCLE SAM MUST PAY
MORE WAGES TO MEN
Returned Member Of company ID Says
Wages Are Too LOw-Measles and
Statesman Break Out In Boise.

"If the United States government de-
sires to increase its regular arm to
the number of men which the law pro-
vides. there is only one way to do it,
and that is the one suggested several
tones during the past year in THE
TIMES-offer wages eonugh to in
duce them to join,' said member Of
Company d to a reporter of this pa
per yesterday. Every other effort
is being made to get men, but they
will not join in large numbers, with
out a raise in pay, while wages on the
outside are as good as they are at
present." he continued, "anl this is
something that does not seem 70 be
sufficiently realized by those inter
ested in increasing the size of the reg
ular army.
Another thing, promotions fire.
quently go to those who have recently
graduated from high school and have
studied sufficiently to pass IN eX-
animation, while men who have grown
old and efficient in the service are
not promoted to be commi ssioned Of
ficers."
Asked if this was not in his opinion
to some extent due to the persistence
of ideas of social caste in the regular
army, he replied that in the opinion
of some this had something to with it.
Asked what he had to say relative
to the rumOr about the alleged bad
conditions in Boise, he replier zone
of the boys said that we had two af-
flictiOns in Boise. One of these was
the attack of measles, the other the
Boise Statesman-of the two, the
Statesman was by far the worst"

NUHIItu IItSSI
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-F1ood con-
troll problems in the Mississippi val
ley and in the Sacramento valley are
doomed to go unsolved by this ses-
sion of congress.
Smothered beneath n mass of APP
preparation bills and administration
measures, the house bill reported IA
vorably to the senate just before the
Christmas recess, will go over to the
sixty-fifth Congress, for lack of time
to consider it,
Meantime residents of the valleys
can pray for further deliverance FROM
floods until the senators get time to
consider the matter.

Mr.. S. ID. Parks, editor and proprie-
tor of the Burnley Bulletin" was
welcome caller at the TIMES office
last week. He complimented the
TIMES heartily upon it's new and COM
modious home; and said that he was
arranging a change of the same char
acter for his own paper in the near
future. Mr.. Parke confesses to no
small interest in Twin Falls, since
he came hereSin 1907 as Principal of
the high school and for two years
thereafter controlled the destiny of the
city schools as superintendent. Con-
sidering the facts that but seven
teachers were employed when Mr..
Parke came here, that there were
twenty-eight when he left three years
later, and that now, after six more
years, the corps of teachers in our
public schools numbers sixty-eight,
will give some idea of the consistent
and persistent growth of our proud
little city.

Salt Lake Prices High-AIiss Lue
Kirkman, in charge of the ladies'
cloak and suit department of the Ida
no Department store returned Friday
afternoon from Salt Lake where she
spent several days visiting. Miss
Kirkman remarked about the exceed
ingly high prices charged in Utah's
mercantile center for all classes of
merchandise and stated that local
prices asked by Twin Falls merchants
we're far below those of Salt Lake. In
some instances, she said, as high as
SIS and $40 were being asked for
shoes, and explained the low local
prices by the fact that Twin Falls
merchants had foreseen the general
upward trend of manufacturing
prices and had prepared themselves
by placing in large reserve stocks.
