Secretary Lansing replies by
calling attention to the fact
that there are fewer than 400
Americans in German hands,
while there are more than 5000
Germans in American intern
ment camps, to say nothing of
the many thousands more who
are at liberty. Abhorrent to
our sense of humanity as such
a war of retaliation must be,
we are in far better shape to
stand it than Germany is. Nor
can the neutral world, sitting
in judgment in the matter, de-

does not come to a sudden and
at present unexpected end. We
are in a war where the goal is
so great that nothing must be
allowed to turn us from a VIC
tory that will insure peace and
freedom. When the need aris-
es Uncle Sam will find the old
er men ready and often quite as
active as the boys now at the
front.
If the bolsheviki falls, as is
now predicted, there may yet
be a chance to reorganize the
Russians and in that case an
American force might be high
ly effective in that country.
There is good material there
for the allied cause if it can

THE WILL TO WIN Is HALF THE
BATTLE.

As yet we have not begun to feel
the burden of providing the govern
ment with funds. Neither as nd
ton nor as individuals do we come in
the class with the other belligerents
in the matter of financial obliga ton.
Compare the ratio of national debt to
the total wealth of the nations at
war: Germany, 81 per cent; France,
81 per cent; Great Britain. As per
cent; United States, per cent.
We have not tapped the surface of
our national wealth in our quest for
war financing.
Nor do we as individuals carry a
heavy per capita burden. Against
Germany's $3.50: Frances $3.50; Great
Britains 5000; Italys $3.50; Austria S
$3.50; place the United States Sis.
One hundred and fifteen dollars is
not much to owe for our country, is
it? What one of us is here who would
hesitate to assume that obligation
for a friend, not to mention one to
whom we owe all that means most in
| life to us.
We might give the country that
$115 which it figures is the debt of
each one of us; give that sum before
we begin to invest for ourselves. But
the government does not ask that
does not expect that. 1t asks to Dor
row what we can save and earn in
this hour of special need.
Marshal Foch says: "The will tC
win is half the battle" American
soldiers have shown their will to win
The fourth liberty loan is before
the American people. 1t must prove
our will to win.

The logged-off lands are for the
most part in Idaho. Washington,
Oregon and in the southern
states"
The purpose and scope OF this bill
affords an impressive illustration Of
the ability Of Congressman Smith to
deal with large questions which con-
Germ the material welfare of the peo-
pie and his patriotic desire to pro-
vide In advance for the Homecoming
of our soldiers in manner that will
show the gratitude of the nation for
the sacrifice they have made. The
reclamation of the land will be fin
anced by the government under the
provisions of the Smith bill, and the
soldiers will be permitted to devote
their labor to the building of homes
and bringing the land under profitable
production. Payments for money ad
vanced and for the land itself will
cover long period of years, probably
80 or 40. Few If any measures intro
duced in congress in recent years,
outside of the great war bills, have
received such widespread and favor
able attention as this one fathered by
the Idaho congressman. and it has
atded immeasureably to his prestige
in congress and to his popularity in
his home state.

OLD-TlMER RETURNS.
Meets Many Old Friends Of "the Days
Of Old, the Days of Gold"

After an absence Of twenty nine
years, Tommy" Garrison dropped in
to wallace last week and spent a
couple of days greeting old friends
and viewing scenes of other days.
Mr.. Garrison was a partner with Jack
dispensary at Murray at a time when
the placer miner paid for his poison
by dumping dust from his poke on to
the not too evenly balanced scales, a
time when the most visionary reform
e.: failed to foresee the establishment
of the "bootlegging" system in place
of what was once regarded as an es-
sential industry in pioneer days. Mr.
Garrison made an automobile trip to
Murray and met the few old timers
who We're there in his time. He left
Murray in 1889 and this was his first
visit since that date. Mr.. Garrison
now liyes in Seattle, where he Is
president and manager of a large
company engaged in the manufacture
of wood pipe. In fact, his company
practically controls the wood pipe
production of the United States. He
is very wealthy man, but fortune
ard time have not changed his atti-
tude toward the Occur d'Alenes and
sc pronounced his brief visit here
With old friends the most enjoyable
experience of his life.

VAN DEUSEN MAKES A RE.
MARkABLE DISCOVERY.

After seventeen months of inten-
sive effort, Clarence Van Deusen,
state auditor. has issued a report
hich shows that the various endow-
ment funds Of the state are short
$2S4,79561. The report he says COW
ers the period from 1885 to June 80,
1918, thirty three years, during the
most of which period the state gov
eminent was in the hands of repub-
leans. This work was authorized by
the last legislature, and while pur-
porting to be in the interest of the
taxpayers, it's real purpose was
doubtless to obtain material to be
used in securing the reelection of the
gentlemen who conceived the brilliant
idea, particularly Van Deusen. But
cruel fate willed otherwise. Before
the report was issued Van Deusen
and the entire state house crowd had
been thrown from their high estate
by an aggregation led by one who
was long court favorite during the
reign of Alexander. The shortage, II
1t may be so termed, is due partly to
an occasional bad loan by the state
land board. but chiefly to what Mr..
Van Deusen conceives to be low val
uation of state land and timber. To
claim that the state is short on this
account is on par with saying that
a prospector who was glad to sell his
claim for $4,000 is short a million
few years later when the expendi-
ture of large capital has made the
same prospect a producing mine.

FEATURES OF PENDING WATER
POWER BILL.

The water power bill as it now
stands is the product of the handl-
work of the president in all it's es-
sental features. Every provision
that he recommended has been incor-
porated and every one he opposed
has been eliminated. Here are some
of it's provisions:
/. No power dams can be built un-
til after application, investigation, and
license from the federal power COM
mission.
2. The plans for dams affecting
navigable rivers must receive the APP
proval of the chief of engineers of
the army,
8. If such a dam could be advan-
tageously used by the government,
license is not to issue until two years
after report of the facts have been
made to congress.
4. After a license has been issued
the licensee must submit his books
and accounts to examination at any
time; must render such reports as the
commission may require at any time;
and must adopt the system of ac-
counts prescribed by the commission.
5. Licenses shall not be transferred
without the approval of the commits
sion.
6. Licensees must pay annual
charges to the United States in an
amount to be fixed by the commits
sion.
| And, most important of ALL there is
| the so-called recapture clause by
which the United States may take
over any project upon the termina-
ton of the license, or sooner If the
president deems the safety OF the
United States demands it.
Taken as a whole the measure is
so hedged about with restrictions
that it will be practically impossible
to interest capital in power projects.
The bill really places a penalty on
successful private enterprise, and
as soon as water power project has
proved it's feasibility under private
management. In a word the public
assumes the risk and the government
seizes the profit.

CONGRESSMAN SMITH AND HIS
SOLDIER LAND BILL.

Congressman Addison 7. Smith, OF
Twin Falls, who represents the sec
ond congressional district, has in
troduced a bin for the reclamation OF
desert, swamp and logged off land
which has attracted nation wide at
tention, and which promises to link
his name with legislation as import
ant beneficial in its results as the
famous Carey act. While primarily
intended for the benefit of returning
soldiers, the Smith bill goes much
further in giving landless men an
opportunity to acquire productive
land and pay for it upon easy terms
that may be met through the returns
from crops raised on the land so en-
tered. The importance of the propos-
ed measure is indicated by the fol-
lowing comment from the Seattle
Post -Intelligencer:
The largest project for the re-
clamation of desert lands, log
ed-off lands and swamp lands
that the nation ever handled is
proposed by the bill of Congress-
man Addison T. Smith of Idaho,
now before the irrigation commit
tee of the house. 1t is under
stood that this bill, with others
now before congress, will be
worked over into an administra-
ton measure, and adopted as
law long before the returned SOL
diers will have opportunity to ad-
vantage themselves by it's provi-
sions. The legislation, however
should be of vast benefit to the
nation and the public in general,
as well as to the war veteran,
creating favorable conditions for
the ownership of farm homes,
giving moneyless men an oppor-
tunity to turn their labor into
crops and land payments, and in
creasing the potential food pro-
ducing capacity of the country
very materially.
Representative Smiths bill
seeks to make productive farm
land out of 60 million acres of
swamp lands and 200 million
acres of cut-over and logged-off
land. The swamp lands are
largely in Florida, in the states
along the Atlantic and gulf
coasts and in the middle west.

THE PRICE OF GOLD AND ITS
COST OF PRODUCTION.

The Miner frankly admits that it Is
not sufficiently versed upon the intri-
cate questions involved in the estab-
lishment and maintenance of sound
financial system to enter into a de-
tailed discussion of the same, but
there is one requisite to such sys-
TEN, conceded in all the argument
revolving round the necessity for in
creasing the production of gold, that
stands out so clearly that even lay
man NAV venture to call attention to
it, While confidence and credit en-
ter largely into maintaining the value
of the currency of nations, the fact
must not be obscured that this con-
fidence and credit is built upon the
ability of nations to pay in money of
ultimate redemption, that is, money
having an established intrinsic value,
men, dulOlS an Wright
ened nations of the world, is gold 1t
must therefore be apparent that as a
prerequisite to confidence and credit,
a nation must have an available gold
supply corresponding to the amount
of its obligations payable in gold, and
that in order to maintain public con-
fdence and credit, in fact to remain
solvent, it must increase its gold re-
serve in keeping with the increase in
its gold obligations. 1t is the recog-
milton of this fact that has forced
the question of increasing the proluc-
ton of gold upon the leading nations
OF the world, for coincident with the
tremendous issue Of bonds payable in
gold to finance the war, there Is an
alarming decrease in the production
of gold due to the increased cost OF
production. In fact, the decrease had
become pronounced before the war,
due to changed industrial conditions
and the working out of rich placer
and high grade deep mines.
The present value of gold as
monetary standard was fixed some
two hundred years ago. 1t was de-
termined through its exchange value
for other commercial commodities
and for labor. Being adopted as a
standard of exchange and a basis OF
credit, its value was obviously fixed
at figure that would insure profit
in its production as a means of
maintaining the supply of gold COM

Prevent Damage to Occur d'Alene

TFeVent damage TO occur oAlene
and St. Joe Valley Lands.
State Representative M. A. Kiger is
in the city from his home in Harrison
hin the interests Of the Occur d'Alene
and ST. Joe valleys drainage projects,
says the Occur d'Alene Press.
Work on the project in Kootenai
and Benewah counties to reclaim 3d.
900 acres of land in the Occur d'Alene
and ST. Joe valleys will probably
commence soon, according to Mr.. XII
ger, representative of the boards of
commissioners of the two drainage
districts involved.
The work contemplates the dredg-
ing of the entrance of the Spokane
river on Lake Occur d'Alene about
$50 feet wider than at present, at a
cost of approximately 100000 to per-
NIT the flood waters of the Occur
d Alene and st. Joe rivers to flow off
as rapidly as they are emptied into
the lake. Backing up of flood waters
in these rivers in past seasons has
done much damage to crops along
their banks.
