B4..4LE capacity for building destroyerS Has been doubled since last summer, and it had materially enlarged then. Touching on the German interned ships MT Oliver says there has been no case of failure or of weakness de- vcloping in any repairs undertaken by the navy departm ent.
 "The committee was much inn pressed" Mr. Oliver says, 'by the thorough and comprehensive manner in which the problem of overcoming the submarine menace was taken and the notable progress that had been nnade.''
 MT. Oliver says that before the war few destroyers were completed in less than two years, while the shortest time was eighteen months. A de- stroyer recently was completed in one week less than year from the time her keel was laid.
 "Destroyers will be built during 191S," MT. Oliver declares, Gin from a third to one-half the time taken under pre-war conditions"
 An investigation of expenditures in the navy will be started Friday morn ing by the house committee on ex- penditures in the navy department.
 The house committee on rules de- ferred making recommendation as to the resolution of Representative Ed monds of Pennsylvania proposing an investigation by the house commit tee on merchant marine and fish cries of the shipping board. Chair man Hurley told the committee he would welcome an investigation.

SAME OLD BIRDS

/ The warm days Of spring are bring
ing back the old familiar birds of pas
sage who for many years have made
the east end of the depot platform
their summer residence. Same old
faces. Same old clothes. Same old
shoes. Same old loafers. Same old
staring and smirking at ladies of the
town in passing from one side of Rail
street to the other. A few recruits have
Joined since last fall and a few tran
sients, birds Of passage, stop for few
days at a time. This is a famous and
favorite roosting place for these mi
gratory human birds Of passage for it
is the only place in Idaho where the
gang can absolutely corner the ladies
of the town who have occasion TO
pass across the street. Every lady
resident on the North side of town
must pass this place if she even goes
to the postoffice. That part Of the
Gang not loafing on the depot platform
to ogle at her il she passes on that
side of the street is sure to be found
waiting her passage at the Jap pool
hail. The lady is absolutely helpless. |
She must pass either one or the other
of these vile groups OF loafers and |
buns twice on each round trip 10 town
or stay at home. And to be ogled by 1
that gang is no great pleasure for the
ladies' who are compelled TO face them
daily during the open loafing season.

to ship to Chicago. for by the time the
local freight is paid to Pocatello their
wheat viii bring more in Chicago on
1920 price than in Pocatelo on the
$500 price.
As I said in my telegram TO Ny.
Hoover. Senator. there is no good rea-
son why the government should pay
one man more for growing a bushel
Of wheat than another There is a
principle involved III this that should
not be overlooked.
Another matter I want to call TO
your attention. is that by the ruling
Of the Food Administration when the
elevators buy q bushei of wheat from
the farmer they take out the three
per cent war tax on the freight to
Chicago. This means that the farmers
of Idaho on a fifty cent rate to Chi
cago pay $500 for a hundred thou
sand pound car of wheat, while the
farmer in many states where the rate
IS only ten cents to Chicago pays a
war tax Of $500. In other words the
farmers Of Idaho pay five times as
much war tax on a bushel of wheat as
those farmers who live near the tase
points where the government receives
wheat.
This to my mind cannot be called a
tax, but a discrimi nation against the
western farmer. I know of no rea-
son why one man should pay more tax
on a bushel of wheat than another.
It is hardly fair to penalize a man
because he lives in the west Nor
should the farmer be compelled to pay
this tax unless it is the intention of
the government to tax wheat-then
in that case, a bushel of wheat should
pay the same tax every place in the
United States.
I wish to call your attention to this I
tax. Senator, for as I see it it is very I.
unfair and unjust towards the people I
IF Idaho, and is not the right basis T
Tor levying a tax.
I understand under the present rul- /
1g with the food department that this /
three per cent is taken out of all /
wheat purchased by the elevators in 1
his state, whether it is shipped TO
Chicago or not. Much OF our wheat
s ground into -four. yet the farmer
,ays the war tax on it to Chicago
ust the same.
I am satisfied the Idaho delegation
I congress is doing everything it can
o protect the interests or this state
eft matters 1 have mentioned in my
etter seem to me so outrageously IN
air that vigorous fight must be con-
inued until these wrongs are made
ight, and the people of Idaho given
