THE BUHL ROAD ELECTION

Certain business men in Twin Falls
have the credit for lending their eff
fort to the defeat of the former Bull
Highway District bond election. Argu-
ments were used that if the highway
bonds were defeated. the city of Twin
Falls would see that a hard surfaced
road was built direct from Castleford
to Twin Falls, and from Glover to
Twin Falls. This may not have been
the dope passed out by the county
seat city's organization, but it's just
such tactics that started the county
division issue. Their repetition only
intensifies the agitation and widens
the breech Should opposition to the
Bull Highway District bond election
develop in the east end of the county,
where it is no concern of theirs. such
opposition should be elected with en-
phasis.-Buhl Herald.
Just to refresh the recollection Of
the Herald, the TIMES calls atten-
ton to the fact that during the last
previous campaign for bonds in the
Buhl Independent district, it stood for
bonds, first, last and all the time and
used every argument possible to con-
vince its readers there that they
shuold vote for good roads. The Bull
papers at the time gave it credit, so
this is not in the nature of a complaint
because The Herald failed to again
note the fact in the editorial quoted
above 1t does believe, however, that
it may properly be referred to in or
der that the people may recall the
whole situation, and understand it.
Relative to the reference to the
county seat city's organization, The
TIMES is at a loss to know what or
ganization is referred to. The Twin
Falls Commercial club took no actor
one way or the other. but a delega
ton of its members headed by Score
tary James Mcmillan worked in tn
Bull Highway district FOR TIL
BONDS and their activities were cen
sured by opponents of the measure.
1t was stated here after the election
that a certain Twin Falls man, repre-
senting a nonresident of the stat
with heavy property in the Bull dis
trict, went down to oppose the bond
in behalf of his principal, which is tn
only activity against them of whic
this paper is aware, except some edi
torial criticisms of the bonds and @

cal Twin Falls paper, made on its ow
responsibility. The TIMES believe

voted for the Bull bond issue had they
been afforded chance, though this is
only a guess, based on such comments.
The TIMES realizes that the voting
of bonds on the West End is primari-
ly the business of the people there
though the question is of interest to
people outside the district. 1t is GER
tainly not Twentieth Century econo-
mics to say that lit is no concern of
theirs" Only very recently a lot of
men from the State of Washington
came through Idaho and many other
states and were everywhere greeted by
large crowds of citizens to hear the
advice that they should build good
roads through their commemorative.
The more systematic and widespread
the cooperative effort, the more benz
fetal the roads which will be built
will be to all. Twin Falls people want
to 90 to Bull to view the big dairies
down there and to transact business
Bull people, mayhap, want to come
here
And the terms Twin Falls" and
"Buhl" mean Twin Falls and vicinity

whole county than it did then, it takes
the liberty to suggest as a general
proposition the permanent interests Of
all sections will best be conserved by
comprehensive road building plan
which will take in all parts, regardless
of whether the county is to be divided
in the future or not The ACCESSIBILITY
or inadvisability of such things do not
depend on artificial county lines.
Could all the counties along the pro-
posed Evergreen highway be legally
and conveniently formed into one
great road district for the purposes of
building that thoroughfare in the most
economical manner, The TIMES would
unhesitatingly favor the plan. Be
cause were all working together on a
common plan and to a common end
they could get a more satisfactory and
scientific system which would prove
of untold benefit to them and to their
children after any mere evanescent
and local temporary interest which
could be conserved by the county sys-
tenn would be forgotten.
This is the principle which The
TIMES favors regardless of its bear
ing on any election which may be
pending either here or in the West
End district. Lest it be misunderstood
desires to add that it shall on this oc-
casion refrain from presuming to Civ,
any advice to the West End voters. Il
believes they will study the whole
question in all its bearing and tina
they will act with the greatest de
gree of ar-sightedness, in accordance
with their undoubtedly high STANDARD
of intelligence, and that which eve
way they vote it will be in favor o
what they believe to be to the bes
interests of good roads for future per
manent development of the country.

THE KAISER'S REPLY

That German reply to the peace pro
posals of the pope should be con-
sidered sufficient to mislead the Ger
man people as on its face it appears
intended that it should, is the greatest
reflection cast on the intelligence of
that people by anything written during
the present war.
The proposals made by the pope had
been rejected by the United States on
the ground that no pledge made by the
present ruler of Germany or the mill
tary coterie which surrounded him
could be accepted. 1t was held that
an agreement to carry out the terms
of the proposal. or any other terms,
would receive consideration only if
Enthusiastically endorsed by the German
people through instrumentalities hav-
ing power to carry out the wishes of
that people without interference by
the monarchial element.
The terms were not discussed in the
reply of the president. They involved
the evacuation by the Germans of all
of France and Belgium, with diplo-
matte adjustment for certain cases.
if there exist particular reasons for
economic recompense. This was Ia
ter in a quasi-official manner explain
ed to mean that in some instances no
tably in the case of Belgium damages
for actual loss should be collected, the
amount to determined by diplomacy.
1t is plain from the reading Of the
replies of the emperors that they do
not meet these conditions. The i'm
preston is conveyed by the Austrian
monarch that he would be glad to
yield that much, but that he is under
the control of his powerful ally. The
German reply is the same sort OF
froth that has been handed out for
the past two years by the kaiser 1t
promises nothing definite, even if the
promises of the German ruler were
worth anything, which they are not.
The most amusing part of the whole
epistle is the portion in which the
world is assured that the people Of
Germany are close to the kaiser. What
else would the kaiser, and a minister
responsible to the kaiser alone say
But the German people have not spok-
en-. The answer OF the kaiser is not
the answer given severally by the ma
jority of the members of the reichstag,
which itself is largely an aristocratic
body and more inclined toward the
kaiser than the people are. The
world cannot take the word OF
the present German regime that ii
represents the people, particularly IL
view of the repeated falsehoods in
which it has been caught The way
for the German government to get th'
opinions of the German people is tC
give them something like manhood
suffrage and let a ministry RESPONSE
BILE to the representatives Of the Ger
man people speak for them.
However, there is possibility tina
the kaiser is playing a smooth gam
to save his throne and to place the re
sponsibility Of peace with defeat OF
the representatives of the people.

See How These IA Rival Cars
Fall Behind Saxon "Siix"

Here are Ia cars that rival
Saxon "Six" in price. Some
cost less. Some cost more.
They range in price from $685.
to $3.50. Saxon "Six" costs
$685..
But see how far they fall be-
hind Saxon "Six" in point of
hne-car features.
Saxon "Six" has Continental
motor, Remy ignition, Wag-
ner 2-unit starting and lighting
system, Timken axles, Exide
storage battery, Stromberg
carburetor, Feeders radiator,
Warner steering gear, Timken
bearings, Spiral bevel gear,
and Semi-Aoating axle.
Every one of these II impor-
tant attractions is of top quail
ity.
That is proved by the fact that
they are all found on the cost
hest cars made in America.
Each of these IL features on
Saxon "Six" at $685. is also
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-09-25

found on at least 9 cars rang
ing in cost from $1175 to
$4,000.
In other words, the fine cars,
the cars of high price that de-
mand quality regardless of
cost, use the same IL features
that Saxon "Six" has.
But do these ID cars in the
Saxon "Six" price-class also
adopt these features? They
do not-save in occasional
cases.
Out of these Ia cars, ranging
in price from 1895 to $3.50,
3 have not a single one of these
quality features.
Three of these Ia cars have
only / of the ii fine features.
Three have only 2 of these ii
features. Four have only 3 of
these II features.
And only l car has a of these
IL features. And yet that car
costs $3.50 more than Saxon
"Six."

This check proves beyond dis
pute that cars costing $500 or
$500 more than Saxon "Six"
cannot match it in quality and
value.
For out of the ID cars we listed
at 1895 to $3.50, 13 of them
cost from $40 to $315 more
than Saxon "Six." Only one
costs less.
So buy Saxon "Six" at $685.
and save the difference. And
you'll get a better Car and a
better value. But by all means
buy now. Come in today.
Remember this point, too. The
very things that make any mo-
tor car desirable, such as quick
pickup, spirited performance,
smooth pulling power, vigor-
Gus Hexibility, quiet operation,
and long efficiency, are found
in far greater measure in a
"Six" than in a flour"
