OMAHA MAN WRITES
y TO THE CANAL MEN

A short time ago The Idaho Re-
publican published an article rela-
tive to having canal accounts audited
annually or once every two years,
and Warren Switzler, an attorney of
Omaha, who has investments at Pin
gree, wrote the following:
Editor Of Idaho Republican,:
Like many other suggestions made
by your excellent paper las a party
in interest I heartily approve the
idea advanced by you of an annual
audit Of the finances of canal COM
panies.
Eight or more years ago I bought
100 acres with one Of your large
canals and at once on good faith i'm
proved 1t by putting in cultivation
about 100 acres fencing, housing,
etc., at an expense of several thou
sand dollars. Every year am called
upon, and cheerfully pay rather
as 1t seems to me-stiff maintenance
charge. I have confidence in this
man who manages the canal, altho
generally they are strangers to me,
yet I believe that those whose money
is handled would gladly pay the small
tax to have it done. 1t would in no
sense imply doubt as to the honesty
OF the trustees. 1t is modern, sens
ible and safe plan for all.
Sincerely,
WARREN sWITZLER.

BEAUTY AT YOUR HOME
(By the Editor

There is way to get more flowers
at your home if you want them.
have some seed packages to give
away to those who care for them. AS
the flower sends ripen at Sagehurst
l gather the earliest ones and put
them in envelopes for whoever wants
them. Just now have seventy pack
ages of pinks at the Republican Of
flee for the seventy folks who call or
send for them. If you send child,
please send a written note asking
for pinks. If you send the request
by mail. please send stamp to carry
in the package, and as they are small,
be perhaps dozen or twenty seeds
in the package, ad as they are small,
it will look almost empty, but there
will be enough to give you start,
and you caQ harvest more seeds next
year after the bloom falls.
Pinks grow about a foot high and
have little round bloom about the
size of half dollar, with very bril-
liant coloring. 1t is best to prepare
a deep, rich seeded for them, for
they will come up year after year
without any effort on your part ex-
cepting to keep them watered and
the ground mellow and free from
grass and weeds. 1t isn't much
trouble to have pretty flowers if you
only give them a start and protect
them from fowls and animals. You
don't have to fence in the whole
yard for a flower bed. A little poul-
try netting and few short posts will
be enough. If you plant them under
the caves, the beating of the water
will ruin them. Have the ground
very mellow, and plant the little
seeds shallow, for they are dainty
plants at first.
| am gathering some other flower
seeds as they ripen, and l will adver-
tise them when l get them put up
ready for delivery. I want to see
more bright colors in that yard of
yours, and l am interested enough
10 furnish free as far as l can make
hem reach. Remember there are
only seventy packages of these pinks
'or 2400 homes, so you had better
hurry.

LEAGUE WINS
Supreme Court Con-
firms Decision of the
Lower Court. Candi-
dates May Secure
Nomination rom
Any or All Parties.

The Non-Partisan league wins its
suit in the supreme court, where the
case was carried on appeal by lead
ers of the Democratic party to pre-
vent this so-called Non-Partisan can
didates from obtaining nominations
on the Democratic ticket and thereby
taking possession of the party.
The particular paragraphs on
which the decision was based are Sec
ton 81 Of the 1909 session laws and
section 405 of the 1917 session,
which follows:
IF voter shall write upon his
ticket the name Of any person who
is candidate for the same office
upon some other ticket, said ballot
shall be counted for such person as
a candidate of the party upon whose
ticket his name is written, and shall
in no case be counted for such person
as candidate upon any other ticket.
In case a person is nominated upon
more than one ticket, he shall file
with the proper officer written
declaration indicating the party
designation under which his name is
to be placed on the official ballot
Section 405 of the 1917 session
laws, page 319 reads:
eff a candidate shall receive the
nomination of more than one party
or more than one political designa-
ton for the same office, he may, at
any time, not less than thirty-five
days prior to the date of the general
election, by writing delivered to
the secretary of state, If the nomina-
ton is for a state office, or to the
county auditor, If the nomination is
for county office, direct in what
order the several political designa-
lions shall be added to his name
upon the official ballot, and such d.
rections shall be followed by said
officer. If, during the said time, the
said candidate shall neglect to direct
in writing as aforesaid, then said
officer shall add said political desig-
nations to the name of the said can
didate in such order as said officer
shall see fit"

=OUR POLITICAL ARENA
ADVERTISEMENTS

Editors note: At a meeting of
the candidates held last week, a reso-
luton was adopted saying they would
economic during this campaign, and
that is right. We commend them
for it Some said 1t would be econ
omy not to go out over the county
handing cards to everybody on every
lane and farm. They said that for
each candidate to 60 over the whole
county In a liver to tell people what
office he sought was a waste of time
and materials, and they are right in
that. The editor of this paper has
gone over the county many times to
hunt up everybody and to build up
an advertising service for everybody
that would reach all the homes. It
enables the candidates to convey
their special messages to practically
all of the people quickly, and at
slight expense. If there is a better
way of doing it in this generation
we hope to find it. We think we
have the most effective and the most
economical system there is.

THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN,
GOVERNMENT FAVORED
THE SOUTH

The price of wheat scared rather
high before the government fixed the
price, and it was dropped back from
the peak price a matter of about
33 per cent. 1t was staple product
and is used by the great mass of
consumers, and to fix a high price
would be infiicting greater hardships
on the working class who already
were having very hard time to ad-
just themselves to the grind of rising
prices.
The price of cotton scared rather
high, and the government has fixed
the price. In doing so it dropped
down a matter of about 10 per cent
at most from the peak price, and that
point will be reached only by stages.
Cotton is staple product used by
the poor, and grown only in the
south. Northern farmers are wonder
ing why the cotton growers are so
favored, and the question has not
been answered.
Germany has need for a world
of cotton for her commerce and for
making munitions, but she can't get
it. The most of the cotton mills Of
continental Europe need cotton but
cannot get it. America has a sur
plus of cotton, and the government
is taking so much of the manufac-
tured fabrics that there is a great
shortage of cotton goods, even while
there is surplus of raw cotton.
There is no surplus of wheat in
the United States nor anywhere that
is accessible. There is a surplus in
Australia and Patagonia that cannot
be brought to the famine-stricken
countries until ships are built or
released to carry them. If the war
should stop tomorrow, there would
be so many soldiers and so much of
everything to be shipped right along
for long period, it might be long
time before ships could be spared
to move much of this wheat from
the southern hemisphere.
The government has issued no no.
tice to assure wheat growers as to-
what they may expect for the 1919
wheat crop, and the time of sowing
the fall wheat has arrived. If the
war and starvation are to continue
two years, farmers should
keep on raising all the wheat they
can, and it is the business of the
government to shoulder the respon-
sibility of the wheat price.

are still muddy or damp, so as to
make them smooth and hard"
Seems to me they just want the
roads made smooth fer the autymo-
biles, and don't care nuthin' about
the fellers that drives horses"
IF road is made good for cars
to go thru on high gear the man
with team will have no trouble. ("
THAT Teller in the printin' office
seems to think the culverts stick out
too much into the air."
HE wants them covered over
deeper or sunk down further below
the grade of the road"
"But claim he puts to much i'm
portance on the car springs and the
rubber castings. It's my basket of
eggs I am thinkin' about. He never
says nuthin' about joltin' me or
breakin' basket Of eggs"
That's right, but I guess he fig
ures that If road is made good
enough for a car to get along on
high gear, you can follow with any
kind of rig. Eggs can go wherever
a car can, only they can't go so fast
unless they have help"

verts. I have drove over high Gull

1T isn't an endurance contest. It
is not the plan to wear ourselves
out crossing high eulverts. We want
to have some pep left for other things
after We get across them"

badly he handled the work, he was
not discharged. The same practice
seems to prevail yet but il l am
elected, there will be one commits
sioner's district where we will either
have road overseers attending to
duty or there will be vacancies. I
will not allow the work to be
neglected nor allow it to be done
SO 1t is OF little or no use.
1t has been nationally proved, and
nationally acknowledged, that drag
ging the roads just after showers is
the best way to keep them hard
and smooth, and I believe the people
OF each road district in the thickly
settled parts Of the county can be so
organized that all the main thoro-
fares can be dragged once or twice
a month when in the right condition.
Tests can be made and q standard
price per mile established, and each
man be assigned a definite piece of
road to drag, and no man who de-
lays the work and drags it after it
gets too dry to be effective should
have his bill allowed.
l am generally short of help in
my business these days, but l am
not afraid to discharge a man If he
fails to do his work as he should.
II l am elected commissioner 1 will
not hesitate to tell a dilatory road
overseer that we don't need him any
longer. l consider it important that
we maintain the roads we already
have, and that we prepare to do a
arge amount of contraction Just as
soon as the end of the war is in
sight.

WOMEN HAVE A
HARD TIME

Women, who are interviewed by
newspaper people have hard time
getting their views into the paper
so they approve of them after they
are published. Among all the inter-
views Of that kind handled by this
paper in long period, we have OBJ
served that almost every one comes
back at the paper with some criti-
cism or some denial after receiving
the service. We have got so we
usually take note book and get the
main points written down so there
need be no chance of a slip of mem
ory about them, and yet there is gen.
orally some denial after publishing,
and II we refer to our notes taken
at the moment, it avails us nothing.
We misquoted the speaker and she
is sorry she did not get the service
she wanted. Selah!
A week or so ago We editor went
out about town and interviewed
twenty-four men on one subject, and
then returned to the sanctum and
put it all into print, making nearly
four columns in the newspaper, and
it was all handled from memory
without taking any notes on it. In
all the talk and discussion Of the
subject that followed it's publication,
nobody said he had been misquoted
in the main or in an item or in
figure where he used figures. Some
of the men forgot the interview but
after reading their own remarks in
the paper they remembered that that
was just what they had said.
It is too bad that newspaper peo-
pie give women the worst of it when
interviewing them. There are some
ungallant fellows who insinuate that
a woman changes her mind at times,
but We editor doesn't believe it. He
still believes that a woman can tell
what she thinks and say what she
means and stand by it.

ADDING WEALTH no
THE COUNTY

Bingham county has great need
for road material that will be easily
combined with the soil to make hard
roads, and always available. 1t IL
underlaid with gravel, but most of II
is so round and smooth that it does
not stay in place we'll for roadbeds
but it can be sifted and the fine
gravel taken out for such use, or IL
can be crushed with a rock crusher
and made so it will be very desirab BILE
We understand that the commits
sioners think seriously of buying a
crusher, and If gravel deposits were
shipped in the fall so that the
crusher could be operated all winter,
great quantities of crushed rock
would be ready for use at all seasons.
1t could be used at many different
settings, or we might have several of
them in the county, and use them
chiefly in the winter season. Then
where we have hard roads, and holes
form in them, the road overseer
could dump in little of the crushed
rock and it would get packed and
mend the break.
If the macadam road by the sugar
factory had been kept repaired in
this way the present summer it
would not be the wreck it is now.
1t is all right for officials to say that
the macadam road ought to be re-
paired with macadam like the orig
inal construction, but when that is
not done then the next best thing
is to mend it with something esle.
1t is very serious neglect to let an ex-
pensive piece for road get into the
condition we now have near the
sugar factory, and the worst is yet
to come, for the tourists travel and
the light travel of home people will
soon give way to heavy loads, and no
amount of excuses from officials will
set kindly with the delays and losses
occassioned by bad roads in the busy
season.
Some lukewarm officials have been
saying for many months that it was
not advisable to do much if any road
work till after we win the war.
People are now coming to realize
that bad roads and broken-down
systems of any kind
constitute serious hindreance to win
ming the war. People who have
crops to move will be waking up to
that fact very rapidly during the next
few weeks, and the officials who have
been making this supposed patriotic
line of excuses for neglecting the
roads will wake up to find them
selves but little better than disloy-
atty arising from bad judgment and
ignorance.
If the county can get two or three
'ock crushers this fall and operate
hem all winter at gravel beds con-
7eniently situated to the places
where crushed rock is needed, they
will probably do we'll to place the
orders while the placing is good. |
Bingham county needs good roads
md there is way to get them.
roads would be a fine
hing to have when Johnny comes
marching home. How would we feel |
o have hi mloOk with contempt upon
'ur bunny roads and say, ,"Why in
he army we would dispose of little
obs like this before breakfast"
