GOSPEL TEAM
*, ORGANIZATION
OFFICERS ELECTED PLANS
FOR THE FUTURE = new
MEMBERS BEING ADDED.

One of the most important results
of the Lines-Huggins Revival Meet
ings has been the organization OF
a Mems Gospel Team. This team
is made up of about rs live, active
Christian men, and the numbers are
growing every day. This Team is
organized for the purpose of win
ming men to Christ, caring for the
sick and needy, ana for the general
uplift of the spiritual and moral coA-
ditions OF Payette and the surround
ing country.
These men have long realized the
need of men working among men
for the purpose of winning them TO
Christ but have not been as actiS e
in this work as they should have
bee yecause of the difficulty of!
act phshing results without the
co-ol ration of others.
The revival meetings have shown
them the great results that can bel
accomplished by unity of Effort on
the part OF body of men wording
together for a common end. In the
work of the team no denominations
are recognized, but only the one |
great end-that the world be made |
a better place to live and that the |
souls OF men be saved.
The team feel that they are work /
ing in the greatest and most imporl-
ant work OF the community and ask
the support and cooperation of
every Christian and of every one who
believes that the world would be
better il more men would live the
Christian life. They also want every
vicinity to join with them in this
great common cause. In unity and
numbers there is strength and The
more earnest Christian men who
will unite in this move the greater
will be the results.
The officers of this team are as
follows:
President, Frank H. Cram, Jr; Vice
president, B. w. Anderson; Secre-
tary, Chas. Davis; Treasurer, j. l..
Edwards; First Captain, Geo. Soth-
man; Second Captain, w. r. Palmer;

ty School. The Team would be glad
to receive invitations from any of
the surrounding community to hold
a meeting at any date that can be {
satisfactorily arranged. If you want

SURPRISING SUPPLY

A Chicago telegram of last Tuesday
says that Officials of the U. S. De-
partment of Justice and the States
Attorneys office, taking the Chicago
food census, have learned that there
are 15O,0OO,000 pounds of meat in To-
cal storage plants"
One hundred and fifty million
pounds of meats in cold storage in
one city alone-a pound and half
for every man, woman and child In
the United States! Prices of meat
and all food commodities are regulat-
ed by supply and demand, and when
the country's supply of meats or OF
any other food products is artificially
reduced by withholding it from the
market, the market price necessarily
goes up and the high cost of living
which is grinding the faces of the
poor, keeps on climbing. 4
The cold storage process, which
should be blessing to mankind, is
thus made a curse by inscriptions
and grasping corporations and comb
nations of capital for speculative pur
poses.. 1t cannot be claimed that this
$50, 100000 pounds of meat is thu
held in cold storage because there il
no demand for it. 1t is held there +
whet the demand until those who ar
able are willing to pay exhorbitan
prices to satisfy their natural CRAY
ing for meat. The cold storage rem
ders it imperishable so that the Shy
locks who hold it run no risk of los
ing-they speculate on certaint,
and the craving needs of the poor
their furnishing families and children
They would sacrifice these to thei
idol, the Almighty Dollar.
Artifcially created high prices an

tain of the legality of the transaction,
so a committee was appointed coin
posed of Attorney General McAllister
and Attorneys John F. Lee and Fred
W. Lehman to investigate the legal
status of the proposition. There is
little doubt that the legal side of the
question will be found to sanction it.,
and then it will be up to the Legisla-
ture to pass the necessary legislation
to refund the debt and make the State
security for the loan.
The proposition is so business-ike,
practical and clean, and the advantage
es to the State are so clear, that the
Legislature cannot afford to turn it
down if the statutes are found to be
in harmony with the plan. It's sue
cess, however, would depend upon an
other important phase of the present
sessions legislation-the adoption OF
adequate revenue measures to meet
the States requirements. 1t looks
now as if the most important revenue
measures recommended by Governor
Gardner will be enacted into laws
The Legislature cannot afford to shut
its. eyes to the rapid growth of oui
State, its increasing obligations t.
its public institutions, educational
eleemosynary and penal, road i'm
provement and a forward movement
generally. The State must have th'
revenue or flag superfuous on tn
stage" of progress and practical re
form.

ASKS ARMED NEUTRALITY"

President Wilson appeared before
Congress last Monday and asked for
authority to place the United States
in a state of EARNED neutrality" to
restrict the German submarine mem
ace. He asked to be empowered to
take whatever steps are necessary
the arming Of American merchant
ships, conveying merchantmen by
war vessels, or whatever steps ne
may be forced to take.
The President cited that two Amer
lean vessels had already been sunk,
and since his address another large
steamer, the Laconia, has been sunk
by submarine, and two American
women are among its victims. He
said at would be foolish to deny that
the situation is fraught with the
gravest possibilities and dangers. No
thoughtful man can fail to see that
the necessity for definite action may
come at any time" and in view of the
early expiration of the present Con-
gress by constitutional limitation
March 4-he wants it's authority be-
hind him in any emergency that may
arise. Even were he to call an extra
session of the next Congress, it
would require an unusual length Of
time for it to assemble and organize
and be ready to act should an emer-
gency for immediate action arise.
The President said: 81 am not now
proposing nor contemplating war or
any steps that need lead to it. |
merely require that you will accord
me by your own vote and definite be-
stowal the means and the authority to
safeguard in practice the rights of a
great people who are at peace anc
} who are DESTROYS of exercising nont
but the rights of peace"
1t is believed that before Congress
! adjourns it will grant the Presidents
request, though there has seemed fol
the last few days disposition II
hold back for some reason--some, O
the Republicans, because, it is said
, they want to force the President II
> call an extra session of the next Con
: gress. But this is no time to pla!
politics, and there is little doubt thai
before Congress adjourns it will Dc
: what the President has asked of it.

WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN

Governor Gardner's proposition that
the State borrow 100000, refund
accounts, wipe the slate
clean and henceforth run the State on
a common sense business basis, will
meet with the approval of all who give
it thoughtful attention. There are now
outstanding accounts against the
State to the amount that he proposes
the State shall borrow. 1t is no time
to stop and parley over how this def
icit occurred-though it is apparently
the result of an endeavor to meet the
additional cost of progressive, con-
structive and needed legislation passed
by the previous General Assembly
with an inadequate revenue. There
may have been small leakages here
and there, as there are in all State
governments, but these have been in
considerable-the general business has
been honestly conducted, though per-
haps not along approved business
methods. The practical fact to be
faced is, that this Indebtedness is a
Just claim against the State, must be
paid, and the growing needs of the
State looked after.
The outstanding accounts are draw
ing rates Of interest ranging from z
to per cent. There will not be suffi-
Gent revenue to pay them for months
to come, and if the revenue coming in
were used for that purpose there
would be no money in the Treasury to
meet current expenses. To borrow the
money and refund this indebtedness
the rate of interest can be reduced al
most one-half, and about $4,000 6
year saved to the State in that item
If the Governors revenue measures
are adopted by the Legislature, it Is
believed the revenue derived from
them will be sufficient to pay off thu
| Indebtedness and meet all the othel
| expenses of government and proposes
reforms, but this revenue will not b.
available for more than year. Thi
would work an inconvenience not t
say hardship on the States creditors
and the high rates of interest would b
eating into the revenue at ravenou
rate.
