REPRESENTATIVE HITCHCOCK
neutrality-suspicious. COMMIT
TEE HAS NEW PLAN

BOISE, Feb. 15.-Representative
Hitchcock of Bonner county, chairman
of the appropriation committee in in
PRODUCING several bills yesterday morn
ing explained that the new principles
adopted by the committee are being
carried out.
Full appropriations are to be pro
vided for each department of the state
and for each institution, according to
the needs of that department or'insti-
tuition" said he. "This will place the
whole plan in a businesslike shape. 1t
will not leave the institutions in a
condition of uncertainty and on the
other hand, the state knows just how
much each institution is getting and
knows whether or not there are any
secret funds. The full appropriation is
made and then any amounts received
by the institution of department will
revert to the state"

Tablets while treating patients for
chronic constipation and torpid 1ivers.

contain calome1, but a healing, sooth-

little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets.
They cause the bowels and liver to act

Reclaim Boundary Lands

A memorial to congress has been in
troduced in the lower house asking
that body to appropriate the sum of
S750,000 to assist in retaining lands in
Boundary county.
Kootenai lake has an outlet OBJ
structed by sandbars. Each spring the
backwater of the lake overf1ows about
$4,000 acres of rich land on the Can
adam side and about $4,000 on the
Idaho side. The memorial was intro
duced by Representative Kent of
Boundary county. In explanation of
the memorial, Mr.. Kent said:
"This land is as rich as any in the
United States. The Canadian govern
ment will expend S1000,000 on the pro-
ject if the United States will do its
part. Sixty-six thousand dollars has
been expended already in surveys"

along to the consumer, but a great
deal of the pea coal now in this city
was purchased at the higher rate,
and some Of the dealers claim that
even though the price on this grade
is reduced, the reduction will be a
small one.
Pea coal is now quoted at $725,
based, it is claimed, upon the as
sumption that the greater part of the
supply can be obtained from the
railroad mines. If it is inn
possible to procure a supply from the
large operators, an increase of 10
cents ton must be paid, in purchas-
ing from small operators.
One dealer is of the opinion that
pea coal will be quoted at 81, but
does not believe the price will drop
below that figure. Other dealers
stated that they did not consider a
change in price likely.

PINES FOR OLDTIME ORATORY
Writer Declares That Modern Speak
ers Fall to Satisfy Our Long
ing for Language.

What has become of the old-fashion-
ed orator, the old boy who made the
well known welkin ring? Modern
speakers don't satisfy our longing for
language. We remember at least three
orators of the old school. One Of
them, at a funeral grafton, spoke Of
youth and age. Said he: "Springtime's
brightest green must fade and pass
away to be replaced by drear Decem-
ber's somber hues."
Another, telling of q visit he had
made to the place of his birth and boy
hood, told Of looking into a spring
around which he had played as child.
He said: "When last looked into its
mlrrored beauty I behe!d the smiling
face of happy boy crowned with a
mass Of golden hair. Now behold a
broken old man, halting down the
western hill Of time, and on his brow
there Is the snow which no summers
sun can ever melt"
The third of our favOrite orators
said: II have seen fragrant flowers In
the hands Of blushing beauty. I have
gazed upon the loveliness Of dew-kiss-
ed violets rivaling with their modesty
the majesty Of lilies Of the valley. /
have seen gorgeous roses lending bril-
lance to sparkling eyes. But, gentle
men, the most beautiful bouquet that
ever burst into bloom before my en-
raptured eyes was-a royal flush."-

ion of eli sugar, both for the United
States and the allied countries. The

sugar producers have signed the con-
tract presented by the government as
suring maximum price for beet sugar
of $7.25 hundred pounds at seaboard
refining points as soon as the crop is
available. 1t is said that this should
mean a reduction Of cent a pound In
the retail price.

Case Long In English Courts.

A law case which was begun in 1948
and was interrupted because Richard
de Maundeville had to leave for the
war in France, was resumed recently
in the chancery, says the London Ex-
press. The point at issue was the
right to hold a market at Stowmarket,
Suffolk, and the suit was originally
brought by the abbot of st. Osyth, Es-
sex, in the twenty-second year of Ed
ward II, against Richard de Maunde-
vile. According to the abbot, who
said he was lord of the manor, Rich
ard had wrongfully obtained the grant
OF the right to hold market in Stow
market, and his assertion was ''to the
grave damage Of the said abbot"
Richard claimed the kings protection,
and eventually the case was adjourned
sine die because Of his departure
abroad.

Gotham's New "Cops."

The New York cop Of 1917 will be
physical prodigy, according to the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. He will have slim legs, a
beltline suggesting the wasp and low
visibility. He will be boyish-looking,
have a clean shaven face and will have
a free, bounding gait. Many remember
the old-time, double-action, double
chinned cop who could stand at cor
ner and quell riot with one beclubbed
hand in front Of him while he reached
the other hand to the rear and commit
ted petty larceny from the peanut
stand. Just keep that type of cop in
mind and try to imagine him being or
dered to peel off and step in the "gym"
for physical and mental test. Begin
ming next week the medical and ply
sical examiners Of the civil service
commission will examine 1000 men
who aspire to be patrdlmen. An old
fashioned cop would stand no chance
Of passing the gruelling physical tests
that are at present required for admis-
sion to the department.

Robert NJ. La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
Jeanette Rankin, representative from
Montana, Thomas Van Lear, Socialist
mayor Of Minneapolis, and A. NJ
TODD, president Of the National Pub
lie Ownership league, are leading the
attack on the high cost Of living at the
closing sessions of the convention Of
producers and consumers under the
auspices of the National Nonpartisan
league.
Miss Rankin discussed the recent
labor troubles In Montana copper
mines.
Albert M. Todd declared that public
ownership Of all utilities and of nat
ural resources necessary to public well
fare is fundamentally right and public
ownership politically right, since it
promotes social justice and democracy.
A plea for true patriotism was made
by Judge E. Torrance of Minneapolis.
Judge Torrance urged the farmers to
show the loyalty they are known to
possess by purchasing Liberty bonds
when the second loan is foated. He
urged that farmers of the country
show their real worth when the issue
IS floated, in other lines than the pro-
duction of food. His address was the
first Of the three days session which
did not touch upon the unfairness of
fixing the price of wheat without fix
ing the price of other necessities.
Senator La Toilette declared that
political parties have failed to give the
people representative government.
