a certain letter written by State
Leader II. w. Hochbaum to the coun-
ty board, following conversation
with Deputy County Auditor l. E. Fin
uey. Mr.. F'inney complained to the
state leader that the methods of col
lecting funds from the county was
such as to work hardships on the au-
ditOr's office, as the amounts collected
had not been shown monthly and nee
essitated his going back over the
books Finally it was suggested that
the farm bureau keep tab on the
amounts, o. x. the bills and show the
available balance of funds each month,
so that it would necessitate no fur
Their examination. The state leader
wrote a letter suggesting this. Presi-
dent White took it to mean that this
was the authorized way. 1t was not
quite clear whether the matter was
ever brought specifically to the at
tention of the board. President White
claimed that bills had been paid for
two months after their endorsement
and he supposed the arrangement fl
nal. He asserted that the bills were
contracted with the understanding
that they would be paid by the county.
recently the farm bureau managers
had failed to comply with some fea-
lures of the arrangement so as to save
the extra work. There seems to have
been no specific endorsement of the
plan by the county commissioners.
President White said that he would
be willing to see that the county was
reimbursed for amounts alleged to
have been used in violation of law, as
soon as the money on the wool and
other pools would come in. He said
that the bureau had saved large sums
on certain purchases and he could see
why merchants would think it improp-
er to pay money in taxes to support
the bureau, where such purchases
were in competition with their bust
ness. He was willing to have the &C
counts segregated and the money re
funded for all bills not contracted in
compliance with the Interpretation put
on the law by the commissioners, but
as the bureau had proceeded under
what he understood to be the under
standing of everybody, he thought that
the bills should be allowed for the
present. He complained of the with
drawal of the county agent from the
bureau.
Commissioner w. + Brewer said
that he had read over President
Whites signature what was generally
taken to be an attack on the board.
He thought this unfair President
White said things of that sort were
sometimes construed to mean what
they did not.

ton as to whether the commission

The Story
The story tells of a small town
youth who secures a goOdly in
heritance and journeys to the
Great White Way to burn it up
After various exciting experiences
he finds that his money has
dwindled to nothing and learns
that there are many unpaid bills
to be met. After complications
involving a rich widow whom he
asks to marry, he turns back to
his home town and starts life
anew. taking over his fathers
chewing gum plant where new ex-
periences await him. Sparkling
with a continuous series of hum
orous situations, offset by various
dramatic scenes, this subject un-
der the direction of Joseph
kaufman, presents breezy
story of rapid action and human
interest, a typical George M.
Cohan production.
Big Stage Hit

itself the biggest popular success
in which Mr.. Cohan ever appear

ducers without success, this

A troupe of Spanish artists will be
the big feature at the Orpheum thea
ire Wednesday and Thursday. matinee
and night, presenting a real novelty
and highly entertaining act. They

quite a novelty. Senior De Leon is a

tions of heavy compositions stand out
in shining contrast against the aver
age stage performer. The attraction
is a treat regardless of ones musical
taste or amusemental inclinations. A
complete change of program is sched-
uled for Friday with new photoplays
and vaudeville acts.

Insisting that his opponent should
train down to meet his weight, Ben
ny Leonard" White refused to enter
the ring Friday with Fired Fulton"
Finch, although coached by the we'll
known Los Angeles trainer Tom Cos
tello.
The mix-up occurred dur
ing a general rag chewing over the
allowance of bills for farm bureau ex-
penses which the commissioners
thought should not be paid unless
o. KID by the county agent and
which DR.. White, as president of the
farm bureau thought did not require
such endorsement. The bills involved
totaled $263.75, as follows; typewriter,
SIS; electric hospital $11; light and
power, 81; stenographer, SIS; Secre-
tary Edwards, $780, rent, $25; janitor,
$40; telephone $11S5; Clos Book store,
S20.25
White charged that Finch had stated
that he would get him. or words to
that effect. This Finch heatedly de-
MED. White named man whom he
claimed had told him and Finch de-
MED the charge and invited the farm
bureau man out to settle the score.
White didn't go, so the horrors of war
were averted.
Inc DeSL InaJ can De SdlneleQ from
the discussion before the commission
ers is this: The commissioners hold
that under the laws of Idaho, under
which they have sole power to operate,
the county agent alone is contemplate
ed in dealing with the question of fl
nancing agricultural uplift. Certain
funds are set aside in this county,
$4,000 all told, for annual upkeep of
the agent, and, as they understood it,
the bureau under the direction of the
agent. The title of the statute under
which the commissioners are proceed
ing defines it at authorizing boards
of county commissioners to appropri-
ate funds for county demonstration
work in agriculture and home ecOnOm-
les" and its provisions are as follows:
THAT the boards of county commits
siOners of the several counties within
the state of Idaho are hereby author
ICED to appropriate funds for demon
stration work in agriculture and home
economies within said counties, for the
employment of a county agent, or
county agents, in cooperation with
the University of Idaho and the Uni
ted States department of Agriculture.
in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the act of congress, No.
1851, commonly known as the Smith
Lever act, the provisions of which
have been accepted by the state of
Idaho"
A misunderstanding seems to have
arisen regarding the legal validity of
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-09-11

ers would allow the amount claimed
temporarily, Chairman Carlson said
that the law would permit nothing of
the sort. An illegal appropriation
could not be legally defended. Any
one could hold the board responsible
on it. The proposition was wholly i'm
possible. So the board acted by lay
ing over the bills.
Reiterating his charge, familiar to
Times readers, that sinister political
forces were fighting him, President
White mentioned the name of County
Auditor Finch, which caused the fire
works to break out. Finch wanted
White to adjourn outside to settle the
matter, but the storm blew over.
Commissioner Carlson said that he
would be glad to help pay the bills
personally, but was convinced that he
could not vote to allow them under
the law. He claimed that the original
agreement as shown by the minutes,
did not contemplate the expenditure
of money for the purposes shown in
the bills held over, and that he would
insist on the o. X. of the county agent
He said that the county had equipped
an office for the county agent in the
court house and that the extra ex-
pense of hiring another office was
needless. President White retorted
that many called up over the tele-
phone at the headquarters of the farm
bureau only to find that the agent was
not there and that in consequence of
this they could not get the informa-
ton they needed.
And so the bills are lying on the
table awaiting the o. X of the county
agent and such subsequent action as
may be taken by the board.
