Merchant Tells Why He

Success Of the Loan Will Mean -Four
Billions I'm Revenue and an In
creased Activity in All BUS

A business man cannot afford to
fail to back up the Victory Liberty
Loan with the last dollar that he can
spare from his business, is the opin-
ion Of e. c. Terrell, of the Durant
Mercantile Company, who will be on
hand with his pledge on Volunteer
Day. April %.
should a merchant buy bonds?"
he repeated. Eyes, emphatically,
all his business will permit him to
buy. but not so many as to make II
necessary to sell them in the near
future.
Why should he buy bonds? Well,
for several reasons, only three of
which l will emphasize now. First,
for patriotic reasons. Every bond
purchased is note Of confidence in
the government as at present con-
Quoted and serves also as token of
confidence in its future integrity
No merchant who enjoys the protec-
tion of the Stars and Stripes should
hesitate to protect that flag with his
, surplus earnings.
Second, Bonds draw a good, fair
rate of interest, when the ampleness
of the security is taken into consid-
them can any loss be sustained.
Third, a purely selfish one, as a
matter of self-protection. Secretary
Glass informs us that II this bond is
sue fails, 1t will be necessary to raise
from four to six billions of dollars
| by direct taxation. This would be
heavy burden to bear. not only for
the business man. but for every in
dividual. BY buying bonds the indi-
vidual puts his money on deposit
with the Government. BY paying a
like amount in direct taxes his mon
ey is gone forever. Bonds mean prof
it to the buyer; taxation means loss.
THE peril of an assessment of an
extra two billions affects not only
the man who pays taxes, but all the
branches of trade. business and in
dustries The uncertainty of a fifty
per cent increase in his income tan
until Congress meets to determine
the 1920 tax arte will haev deter
rent effect on investments in con.
structiOn, industrials and other bus
mess enterprises. The wage Garner
and the small and large merchan,
would therefore become the larger
losers"

Will Remain in Durapt.

The firm of Mhoon & Spring will
not leave Durant. according 10 a
statement by j. H. Spring made to-
day. They had planned selling out
the stock here to move to Shreye-
port, La, where they had bought Il
store; btu they have been out over
the country making some compari-
sons and concluded after all that
this is about the best county and
city to be found. and they've chang
ed their minds. Instead. therefore.
of closing out the local stock. they
have bought several carloads of new
goods and promise an excellent
showing of new furniture.

Auto Trade to
Depend on Loan
Success of the Victory Liberty Bond
Issue Means Better Busines Con-
ditions Here as Well as In Other
Parts Of the Country.

That the success of the Victory
Loan campaign will remove an un-
certainty which may threaten busi-
ness conditions in this country is one
of the several reasons which c. H..
Finley. auto dealer, gave today for
his plan to subscribe for more bonds
on Volunteer Day.
THE Victory Liberty Loan is the
most important of all loans offered
to the citizens of the United States
by our Government" said Mr.. Fin
ley. ut is vital, ct this particular
time, that this loan be fully sub
scribed, as 1t is tremendously essen
tial that our National honor and our
National credit be preserved and all
obligations met promptly.
The automobile industry has
done splendid work during the war;
1t, has subscribed most literally to
all Liberty Loans and I believe that
1t will not disappoint the Govern
ment at this crucial time.
"It Is my belief that business con-
ditions for the next few months will
be governed largely by the success
of this Victory Liberty Loan, and
urge automobile men to purchase tc
the utmost of their ability at this
time.
"In case the Liberty Loan is not a
I big success 1t will of necessity com
pei the Government to raise the tax
es to meet the necessary obligations
Lets all pull together and pu,
this over in the typical American
Big League style"

TOURISTS CONTINUE TO

Memorial park, according to William
Bishoff, caretaker In spite of the
frosty night. and the comparative late
ness of the season, the park is over
crowded every day. This week, an
average of ten touring parties every
day have made their headquarters at
the park and in that vicinity. Be-
cause OF the limited accommodations
tents have been put up all over the lot
Mr.. Bishoff has been at a loss to
accommodate the number who wish
to use the city's provisions for &C
commodations. He has taken the mat
ter up with Mayor Grant Ward and

OFFICIALS AIR
TROUBLE TO-DAY.
Caldwell traction. and Power
Companies Present Argu-
ments. Before Com
mission

REPRESENTATIVES of the Caldwell
Traction company must appear. before
the public utilities commission al
Boise today to show cause why they
should not make a deposit to cover
unpail bills alleged to be due the
Idaho Power company by the 1ractioi
company. Amounts due are asserteo
to be approximately $SOO0.
Today's hearing grew from the un-
expected action Of the Power COM
pany last Saturday when they De
prived the Traction company OF cleo
trio current for approximately ave
hours. Transportation was at stand
still from early morning until about
noon. Only the action OF the Pubic
Utilities commission in ordering con-
tinuance Of electric service until the
question was aired before that body
prevented an indefinite tieup.
Creates Stir.
Coming sharply upon w. X Sc
bree's announcement OF a Willingness
to dispose of the property because II
failed to meet expenses when interest
ON the large sum investor is con-
sidered, Saturdays action by the
Power company created no little stir
and comment locally. According to
advices from the utilities commission
the Power company charges the Cald-
well Traction lines with being $80U
in arrears on power payments. Of this
amount 500 is that due for August
service, it is alleged.
1t is understood that the basis Of
the difficulty is presented in an ole
note rendered the Power company
for electricity and which has been re-
newed once or twice. According to
local representatives of the traction
company, the power bills have beer
met promptly.
C. D, Perkhiser holds the belief that
the position was taken deliberately
by the Power company with full
knowledge that Mr.. Sebree was IL
southern California. ME. Sebree left
for Los Angeles Tuesday evening Of
last week.

COLLEGE ATTENDANCE
GREATLY INCREASED
EARLY SCHOOL YEAR PROS
Poets POINT TO FINEST
RESULTS.

The College of Idaho opened on
Wednesday, September ~, with a tine
enrolment of lively, enthusiastic
students. Attendance on the opening
day was at least 60 per cent above that
on the first day Of last year, and
surpassed the record Of any previous
year, during pre-war conditions. Dur
ing this week the number of students
enrolled has reached Ito, which is
the highest mark ever reached in the
collegiate department.
This year marks a new period IN
the history of the College of Idaho,
that is the making of the institution
one of collegiate work entirely. Al
ways before there have been classes
in the preparatory department, but
last spring that department closed
with the graduation of its last class
Although the enrolment is not SC
much above that of former years, i
shows a decided advance in as much
as all the students are doing collegiate
work.
English Professor Returns.
Students all welcome the return o
DIR. Carl E. Solomon who has beer
absent for two years, while in over
seas service. DIR. Solomon is at tn
head of the English department.
Several courses of study which wer
not given last year are offered to tn
students this year.
Prospects are fine for one of tn
best years of history at the Colleg
of Idaho.

BRIDGE BIDS TO BE
OPENED WEDNESDAY,
CONTRACTS FOR SNAKE RIVER
STRUCTURES WILL BE
LET OCTOBER /.

Bids for the abutments and corcrete
work for the two Snake river Lridges
to be built across the river at tome
dale and Pickle Butte will be opened
at Boise next Wednesday by William
], Hall, commissioner of public works.
Canyon county commissioners have
been requested to attend the afternoon
events and will make the trip to Boise
to be present.
Only bids for the foundationai work
will be considered at this time, bids for
the superstructure being reserved for
some future date. Mr.. Hall announces
that work on the two structures
should begin about 10 days after the
bids are opened which will insure the
completion of that portion of the
structures this fall
Considerable interest has attached
to this work and some indignation
been expressed because of the dilatory
manner in which the matter was
handled by the state department. 1t
is believed that fully a year will
elapse before the bridges are finally
constructed and opened for traffic.
But considerable satisfaction will be
felt by people who expect to use the
structures from the fact that present
indications point to beginning opera
ton in short time.
Plans for the two bridges have been
approved by Mr.. Purcell, district en-
gineer of the U. S. bureau of public
roads. Unless bids for the work are
| far above the estimates, sufficient
funds are available for the work and
the contract will be let Immediately.
Work has been progressing fol
some time in determining the nature
of the bed of the river at both bridge
sites. At the Pickle Butte site, hare
shale was found only a short distance
below the bed of the river which, it i.
agreed, will serve as an excellen
foundation. Similar conditions are ex
pected to be found prevailing a
Homedale.
| Later-Information has just com,
to hand indicating that bids for tn,
substructure will not be opened unit
i October 8 by William Hall, commits
sioner of public works, on the Snak
river bridge to be built at Pickl
Butte Bids will be opened Wednes
day for the Homedale bridge alone
4 Construction of the substructures @
, both, It is emphasized, will be begu
: as soon as the contract can be let.
