Congressman Smith has actively supported ALL the govern
ments war plans.
Congressman Smith has consistently sustained the president
in ALL of his recommendations for emergency legislation and
ample appropriations for the conduct of the war.
If the voters of Idaho want to MAKE SURE of eecting a
Congressman who will SUSTAIN THE PRESIDENT, why not
vote for one who HAS done so, IN EVERY INSTANCE.
Congressman Smith has specialized on the enactment of leg
islation for the benefit of settlers on the public land and has sew
eral laws of this character to his credit.
Congressman Smith has been active in support of prohibition
legislation, WOman's suffrage, rural credits, the fixing of a price
for wheat, which will encourage ample production and give the
farmers a fair profit.
Congressman Smith is the author of a bill which has attract
ed the attention of the leaders of both branches of Congress and
is strongly recommended by Secretary Lane for enactment next
session, to provide farms for returning soldiers on reclaimed arid.
swamp and cut-Over lands, under the provision of which soldiers
and sailors will have the preference right of employment and
entry.
Congressman Smith has advocated legislation to regulate
the price of farm machinery, vehicles, harness and other commod-
tiles farmers have to buy.
Congressman Smith initiated and carried to a successful con-
cusion legislation providing for the Government to take over the
King Hill Irrigation Project, for which 100000 was apprOpriat-
ed, saving to the settlers their homes and earnings of years. A
bill which he introduced over a year ago has been made the basis
of a systematic plan, strongly endorsed by the Administration. to
encourage private capital to invest in irrigation bonds where the
projects are constructed by the Reclamation Service, under which
the Bruneau, North Side-Minidoka, Fort Hall and other proposed
irrigation projects will be constructed.
Congressman Smiths prompt and intelligent attention to the
requests of constituents has attracted to him a large personal fol-
lowing regardless of politics, who are interested in his reelection.
What REASON is there for replacing a man who
has proven his usefulness and w~Orthiness with one
who S unknown, untried, and whose political afflia-
ton and belief is a matter of conjecture?

Nitrate deposits in the Atacama des-
ert have been a source of friction In
South America since their discovery.
The Atacama nitrate deposits were
opend up by Chilean capital
In 1879 Chile seized the Bolivian
port Of Antofagasta, and, two months
later, declared war on Peru as an ally
of Bolivia.
Before the year was out the combine
ed forces of Peru and Bolivia were
nearly wiped out by the smaller but
better equipped and trained army prov
ince of Antofagasta from Bolivia and
Tarapaca from Peru, while Peru also
ceded control of Tacna for period of
ten years, at the end OF which period
a vote of the inhabitants was to be ta-
ken to determine to which country the
province should belong.

LID TO State Board.

A great deal of significance is at
tached to the meeting of the state
board of equalization, which meets
at Jefferson City. Feb. e. Then the
question of tax assessments which
has stirred every county in Missouri.
will be brought to its crisis, 1t is
being predicted around the capital
that there will be wholesale re-
auctions of assessments returned
10 many counties to the state tax
commission. which has ordered
several assessors to make an entire
ly new return increasing the figures
originally given.
Gov. Gardner, who recommended
the creation of the state tax COM
mission, which has insisted upon the
assessment of all property at its
true value" in money, is the only
member of the board of equalization
who openly states that he is ready
to stand by the valuations certified
to the board by the tax commission.
The other members of the board
are State Auditor Hackmann, State
Treasurer Middlekamp, Secretary or
State Sullivan and Attorney General
McAllister.
McAllister, when asked whether
he would stand by the valuations
certified by the state tax com
mission. said:
Il cannot answer that until I
know what are the valuations by
counties and classes of property. If
the state tax commission has con-
fined its activities this year to the
discovery of intangible wealth which
heretofore has escaped taxation, as
was suggested to it by the state
board of equalization last spring,
then l will be prepared to ratify its
work.

raised in 1917 has way of fooline

seed corn. Come to the meeting

Red Gross Gets License.

The American RED Cross has been
granted license by the War Trsde
Board to trade with the enemy"
This is how il came about: The
privilege of sending letters. food.
and money to American prisoners
of war in Germany has been grant
ed exclusively TO the Red Cross
by the German Government.
| Germany demands a return for
this PRIVILEGE She asks the Red
Cross to act as the medium through
which German fathers and mothers
can send word from home" or a
remembrance TO sons confined in
American prison camps, and TO a
minor extent to her prisoners in
French and British camps.
This. in sense, constitutes
trading with the enemy" Thus it
was necessary to get the sanction
of the War Trade Board for the
undertaking. This has just been
secured. and the license issued. 1t
gives the American Red Cross a
blanket authorization communica-
ton with prisoners of war over the
entire world-enemy, allied, and
neutral
The Red Cross in war times is
the only organization which can
conduct what is really the single
International postoffice and cable
office for prisoners of war in the
world. 1t is extending this COM
munication and information service
constantly 1t is at work all the
time gathering data about the
American dead, wounded and MISS
ing on this side of no mans land
and about the prisoners on the 9TH
er. The War Department under.
takes to send to the nearest of kin
only the bare fact that an Amer.
can soldier has been killed, wound
ed, missing, or taken prisoner. The
Red Cross, on application. supple
ments this by obtaining details and
data. 1t thus performs service of
inestimable value to relations at
home.
