LEGISLATURE PAVES
WAY TO ADJOURN
PASSES MEASURE TO RAISE
MONEY TO KEEP STATE RUN
MING NEXT TWO YEARS.
The HawIey County Division Bill
Again Strikes a Snag Being
Voted Down for the
Second Time.

Boise. Idaho.-The lower house of
the Idaho legislature on March 6
paved the way to close its doors by
passing the ad valorem tax measure
with which to raise the necessary
money to keep the state running for
the next two years. The workmen's
compensation act again played con
spicuous part in the legislative pro
ceedings.
The house. after striking out the
body of the Rockwell bill and sub
shutting the Anderson measure,
passed Senate bin No ITO and sent
it back to the senate. Republican op-
position to the bin was dropped on
final passage and 1t went TO the sen
ate by a vote Of fffty-two to eight.
The representatives who voted against
the measure were Adamson. Anderson
of Bonneville, Baltic, Hunt, Laforest

taken to wipe out the system of profit
eering that would soon make the grain
markets of this country a scandal,
under present conditions, but for the
intervention of the government.
A studied effort is being made to
arouse the farmers against the food
law by appeals to prejudice. They
are told the price Of wheat would be
SO bushel but for the law. Perhaps
it would, but not until the wheat was
out of the farmers hands. All ex-
perience with high grain prices in
the past proves this to be fact The
Americao farmer has been stung too
often by the grain gamblers to listen
TO their squeals, now that they are
caught in the government trap.
AS to the farmer, the fewer tears
shed over him the better he will like
it. So long as he is assured q profit

farmer could say that 81 and up for
wheat and 81 and up for corn is un-
proftable-he will be satisfied to
raise bumper crops and allow the
crestfallen gamblers to bewail the

if the food law had not cut off hope
of exploiting the worlds hunger, in
cluding that of their own countrymeni

Little Fellows
Merchandising

The progressiveness and "go-ahead"
spirit of any town or community de-
pends, in a very large measure, upon
the quality and progressiveness OF the
business men of the community. If
the business men are alive and wide
awake, always ready with aid and
encouragement for anything and ev-
erything that has for its purpose the
public good, then it is perfectly safe
assumption that such a community is
a good place in which to reside, and
that its people generally are of the
better class.
If the so-called business men" are
little and selfish, eternally looking for
an opportunity to "hold up" customers
for twice the actual value of their
goods, and holding tight every penny
that comes into their possession, then
the chances are that such community
will not be a very desirable place to
live. Most communities have many of
the first named class Of business men,
and few of the latter kind. Forum
ate, indeed, is the town or community
that is composed wholly of the former
class of merchants,
Pennington has many of the form
er kind of business men. But it is
with regret that The Times must ad-
init that she also has few of the lat
ter kind. Such so-called merchants"
are of no assistance to any place. In
fact, they are a positive handicap.
They do nothing to help along any
thing but destruction, decay and
death, no matter how worthy the un-
dertaking may be, and yet they expect,
and too often receive support in the
community. Very often such tight
wads prosper in the community that
they really have no interest in, ex-
pect to enjoy the privilege they are
permitted, fleeing their patrons out
of the "Dutchman's one per cert" Of
profit.
The trade people Of every commun-
ity would render to themselves, as
well as to their neighbors, worthy
service if they would figure out for
themselves who are the reel energet-
ic and progressive merchants of their
town, and give them their trade. Do
not be misled with the statement that
"ours is the leading store" which ex-
preston is so often used by the little
fellow" who is seldom called a "mer-
chant" except when he speaks of him
self. They are Of no more assistance
to a town than fungus growth OF
weeds. In fact, they somewhat re-
semble such growth

Home Is the
Best Resort

Can any much mooted summer re-
sort in the entire country produce
more enjoyable and livable weather
than is being handed out right here in
Pennington? We think not. And yet
many Of our citizens are now seeking
improved weather conditions through
out the country, which really cannot
exist. The summer vacation habit
has become a kind Of disease, which
causes many to 60 rambling, regard
less Of the weather conditions at home
And they seem to think they are sat-
isfed to put up with all manner of
hardships and Inconvenience while
seeking comfort, which often can be
found right at home in greater de-
gree than elsewhere.
At the end of their vacation they
often return in more depleted con-
dition physically than when they
started out, and a course of real home
living is necessary to make them again
fit. With the thermometer seldom
above 80 at midday, and comforts
comfortable covering at night, surely
nothing more could be desired in the
way of enjoyable weather. The facts
are that "wanderlust" is at the bot
tom of the summer vacation idea. In
climate such as this there is usually
more comfort at home in midsummer
than can be found elsewhere.

A Great Work
Being Well Done

The Board of Exemptions for ST.
Francois county is still strenuously at
work preparing the list of fighting
men that will represent this county in
the great National Army that is now
being mustered in from every county,
in every State in the great United
States. This local Exemption Board
is engaged in task that would appeal
to no man. and for the reason that
they have heard and responded to
their country's call in giving their
time to this work which, while is
must be performed, would appeal to
no good citizen, the members of the
Board are entitled to the greatest de-
gree of credit for the services they
are rendering.
There is no doubt but that bitter
feelings have been engendered, es-
pecially by those who may have been
refused exemption for reasons that
the Board thought to be ample. 1t is
also doubtless true that such hard
feelings have often spread to the fam
lily and friends of those who have been
refused exemption. But the full quo
ia of soldiers from this county must
be raised, and the Board members
have had to depend finally upon their
own Judgment, as we'll as their in.
structions, to select many that had
claimed exemption, in view of the urg-
ent needs, then there is court OF
last resort" to which they can appeal
their case.
But the members of Exemption
Boards everywhere should not have
malice, hard feelings nor abuse heaped
upon them. They have performed, ano
are still performing, the duties fol
which they were selected, in an en-
tirely just and conscientious manner
to the very best of their ability, ant
should receive the hearty support anc
approval of all in this work that is
calculated to "try mems souls"
1t is expected that the local army
will have been selected in time fol
the complete list to be published mex
week. If it is possible to get the lis

it to appear in the next issue Of thi

Liberated On Bond Another Rich Mine

The Golden Eagle Mining Co., of
Miami, Okla, is now opening up what
promises to be one of the richest
mines in that entire field, which has
already proven itself to be of unex-
ampled richness. Russell Doss, of
this city. who has been in that field
for the past year or more, is mana
ger of the Golden Eagle. In CONVEX
sation with Times reporter yester-
day he stated that their first shaft
was now down 100 feet, with AZ feet
face of practically solid lead and jack.
The Golden Eagle Mining Co. is
now having a mill erected on the
property, with 700 tons capacity in
twenty hours. In the meantime the
ore that is being taken out is piled
on the ground. This mine is central
ly located in the richest part of the
mining field, and just adjacent to
some of the largest producing mines
that have yet been developed.
R. C. Detchmendy, deputy Mine In
spector, and W. c. Huff, another ex-
perienced mining man, both of Flat
River, recently visited this property
end are greatly enthused with the
richness Ol lHe SHoWlHB. AHOoc uS-
string to make an investment in that
field will probably have no better op-
portunity of doing so than to take
stock in this company, as Mr. Doss is
offering a limited amount of it for
sale. Before investing, however, he
would be glad if the intending pur-
chaser would first interview Messrs.
Detchmendy and Huff, as all who ere
acquainted with these gentlemen
know that their statements can be re-
lied upon with absolute security.
Mr.. Doss expects to be in this city
about ten days yet, and all desiring
stock in the Golden Eagle Mining Co.
should attend to it before he leaves,
as he expects that all the surplus
stock will be taken by the time he gets
| back to that field.

Recent disturbed conditions in the
Lead Belt are now quieting down, and
present Indications are that things
will soon be at their normal condition
in that district. The mine operators
have recently been employing a num-
ber of men for guard duty about their
mills and powder plants, and no fur
ther trouble is anticipated by those
who should know. While quite num-
ber of foreigners came back since the
trouble, many of them came to get
their belongings which were left ow-
ing to their speedy departure, while
others have not appeared to be sat
isfied to remain, owing to the fact
that the lid on spirituous liquors has
been held down too tight by the SOL
diers, who are still there, to suit them.
Those who should know say that the
great bulk of the foreigners will not
stay if they cannot get their booze.
The fact that the mine operators
have finally been forced to employ
Americans for the more important du-
ty of guarding their property-right
in line with the suggestions that have
been made by The Times from the
very beginning of the trouble-shows
that even they have no confidence in
the "Huns" when it comes to safe
guarding their property. Many good
Americans have been drawn from this
city for guard duty, as well as for
work in the mines, which is a compli-
ment the operators have bestowed on
Americans, whether so intended or
not. 1t is now up to the American
boys to make geod and to demonstrate
to the world that they have been
grossly legislated against by the min
ing companies.
The fact that practically all the
foreigners, who were at work in the
mines before the recent trouble there,
had different quantities of whiskey
and beer in their cellars, was sufficient
demonstration that they have no re-
spect for the law of the land into which
they have come simply for the reason
that the chances for making money is
so far ahead of their native countries.
1t is also known that their frequent
holidays are usually made the occa-
sion for a protracted debauch, of of
ten week or more duration. The
recent draft also shows that many
foreigners were called in the re-
cent draft, who failed to put in their
appearance. Their ignorance, to-
gether with the manner in which the
mining companies have borne with
their shortcomings, and favored them
in various. ways, is probably, in a
very great measure, at least, respon-
sible often for their absolutely ignor-
ing the law. For instance, more than
one hundred of such foreigners failed
to respond to the draft notice, which
may make it necessary to make ano-
ther draft in order to make up the
quota st. Francois county must fur
nish.
Yet, it is not difficult, at least for
those who are thoroughly familiar
with the conditions as they really ex-
sist there, to see and understand
why such poor, ignorant foreigners
are preferred in the mines over Amer
lean labor. They will work like gal
ley slaves, and if they are kicked and
cuffed around, they seldom resent the
i'll treatment. If they do, then they
can call for their time, and seldom
know enough to ask for legal resti-

HOOVER AND THE FARMERS

The formation of a corporation to
take over control of the country's
grain supply, if necessary, and the
announcement Of the personnel of the
commission to fix the price of wheat,
made yesterday at Washington, are
progressive steps in the practical en-
forcement Of the food law.
Those who have predicted a career
Of dire calamity for Mr.. Hoover, when
it came to dealing with grain supplies,
because he does not happen to be a
farmer, will be panied to observe that
he has appointed on the wheat COM
mission the president of the National
Farmers Union, the vice president of
the National Corn Association, the
secretary of the National Council of
Farmers Cooperative Associations
and the master of the Ohio State
Grange.
In addition, the milling industry
has appointed a committee of leading
men in that industry to cooperate
with the Food Administration in me-
gotiating voluntary regulation in that
line, and the grain commission mer
have named a similar committee.
1t is evident, therefore, that Mr.
Hoover, acting under the direct au'
thority. of President Wilson and with
no power except that delegated to hin
by the President, is not going to sci
himself up as a little czar, but is call
| ing into consultation leading men Of
the grain industry, representing not
only the millers and commission, but
the farmers themselves. fI3t
President Wilson who, under thu
specific terms, of the law, is fooC
dictator, has assured the farmers they
| will not be Disseminated against il
| the fixing of prices. He has assured
the consumers that prices shall not b.
artifcially raised at their lexpense.
! But, between the two Aextremesc o
producer and consumer he has under
