FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
RidicuIed When First Established in
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.

The first family or 'tempenaEce"
hotel in London, the forerunner Of
tens of thousands Of such hostelries in
all parts Of the world, was opened in
Covent Garden about l45 years ago.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation of families. and minus
bar, was an undreamed-of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prof
ect to scorn. Despite their derision,
the scheme was successful. and made
a snug fortune for its founder, David
Low. London now has hundreds of
family and temperance hotels, and the
United States has thousands of them.
The edifice in which Low started
his hotel is still standing, The build
ing was erected early in the seven
teenth century, and was originally the
home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crom
wells council held sessions in the
building, 1t is said, and it was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath
er;nes before it Vas converted into .

Aleppo in the Middle Ages.
Aleppo's brief political greatness
thus fell beneath the hammer stroke Of
Nicephoros Phokas, but its commercial
eminence did not leave it. For two
centuries it led a precarious political
existence-usually in vassalage to the
dominant great power. 1t was part OF
the empire of the mighty Saladin, and
probably the work Of his masons is to
be seen today in the citadel walls.
After Saladin and his house had passed
away Aleppo fell to the Mameluke sui
tans of Egypt. Thither in 1402 came
the terrible Timur (Tamerlane) on his
way to overthrow the army of Egypt
at Damascus.
Timur left terrible traces Of his pres
ence on Aleppo. but the city, thanks to
it's splendid situation. recovered. ana
for the next century or more, indeed,
was at the height of its prosperity.
It was injured by the discovery OF the
passage round the Cape Of Good Hope,
but remained great and wealthy until
1922. when it was smitten by an earth
quake and almost completely de-
stroyed, with loss Of life calculated
at the lowest at 10000 persons. Dur
ing the thirteenth, fourteenth and nj
teenth centuries it was foremost among
| the trading cities of the world, and its
renown spread far and wide.
It was from Aleppo that the first pio-
neers Of England's Indian trade and
empire started on their long journey
to the courts of the moghul emperors.
Doubtless it was from some of them,
or reports of their journeys which must
have been current in EliZabethan
London, that Shakespeare and MarloWe
learned of the oriental city. At all
events, references to Aleppo are to be
found in the plays Of both-less in
Shakespeare than in Marlowe, whose
bent was clearly in the direction of orr
entail glamor.
Modern Aleppo still suffers from the
destruction wrought by the catastrophe
| Of 1922, but there is no doubt that the
researches Of skilled psychologists
would meet with rich reward in a city
which has existed continuously for
1000 years. which has seen the char
ioteers of Egypt and Of Khatti, the
phalanx of Alexander and the legiOns
of Rome, no less than the mailed horse
men of Byzantium and the savage
riders of Timur and Selim the Grim.
The citadel walls still stand intact and
! imposing; the walls of the inner city
are mainly in ruins. In the western
| rampant there survives-in the form
| of an scription-evidence of the pres
ence of the Hittite conquerors, who
wrested North Syria from the weak
hands of the hereto Pharaoh Akena-
| ten. The fiat roofs of the houses are
often laid out as gardens. and south
and west Of the city extend wide
plantations and orchards. Water is
supplied by means of an ancient
aqueduct, a relic of the Roman rule,
which, in Syria, as in Gaul and Brit
ain, has left indestructible evidence OF
it's passion for works Of practical util-
ity. There is much local industry. and
as q principal station on the Trans
Syrian railway close to the Bagdad
line, Aleppo still occupies position
of great Importance. Under civilized
rule it has every opportunity of recov-
ering it's former prosperity.

Good English Week
In The Schools

This week is nationtl good English
week and is being observed fittingly
in the schools of Blackfoot. Posters
are in evidence all over the school
rooms to remind pupils that slang
phrases and incorrect English must
be things of the past for one week
at least. All high school pupils are
wearing tags that read Speak Eng
lish" and on Wednesday will wear
tags prepared with blanks for check
marks to be filled in when some of
the more common incorrect English
phrases are used. This is an in
diyidual contest between students to
see who can keep their card the most
free from check marks.
At the high school each afternoon
some special exercises will be rend-
cred to promote the use of better
English. On Thursday afternoon the
high school pupils will parade on be-
half of the cause.

licit the cooperation of parents and
people of the business district in this

REDUCING THE
FEDERAL TAXES
Taxes Can be Reduced
by Proper Legisla-
tive Action
SCIENTIFIC REFORM
BY Charles L. Bernheimer

The factors entering into the alb
normal high cost of living repre-
sent a chain composed of innumer-
able links, Some of the most
familiar are labor, rents, raw ma
terials, shortened working hours
without increased efficiency, trans
portation and taxes.
According to scientific methods,
the way to counteract an effect is to
eliminate the cause. A careful study
of the cause given will tend to show
that the more vulnerable point Of
attack is the last one named-taxes.
1t is evidently impossible, even if it
were desirable to endeavor to cut
down labor costs or to change work.
ing hours. In the same manner it
is impossible to reduce rents unless
housing supplies are made available
to much larger extent. Also it is
impossible to reduce the cost of raw
materials unless there is a corre-
spending increase in supply. And
again, for obvious reasons, it is i'm
possible to reduce the rates of trans
portation. Coming down to the SUBJ
ject of taxes, however, the situation
changes. Those can be cut down by
proper legislative action.
Our war debt at the present time,
according to figures issued by the
secretary of the treasury, amounts to
a little, less than $27, 900, 200.
From the same source of information
comes the news that the federal taxes
to be collected for the period Of
July /, 1919, to June 80, 1920, will
be $4,940, 100000. Were these taxes
to be collected equally from the fam
lilies in the United States, the aver
age cost of living to each family
would be increased by $235. In 1914
the federal taxes per family were
less than $36.75. In other words
this element in the cost of living
shows an increase by more than $50
per cent of it's former magnitude.
This definite sum of 1926 is mis-
leading, however. The taxes that the
average family pays in an indirect
manner are good deal more than
that. The figure given is the sum
that goes into the treasury. There
are other Golfers that are filed along
the wayside.
When the question of meeting the
war debt came up two definite plans
were proposed. One called for the
taxation Of industry by penalizing
and Furnishing all profits, and the
other called for a% revenue gained
from all sources of national activity.
The first plan predominated, with the
result that the expansion of industry
was penalized. and the purchasing
power of the dollar reduced.

PEACE TREATY
With GERMANY
May Come Into Force
One Year After
Armistice Day !.
ON NOVEMBER II

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The German
peace treaty may come into effect on
the anniversary of armistice day. It
was announced by Cecil Harmcworth,
undersecretary for foreign affairs in
the house of commons today that the
government hoped the treaty would
be formally ratified on November II
and come into force the same day.
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of
the exchequer, speaking in the COM
mons on the financial situation, said
that there was every reason for eau
tion, economy and wise husbanry of
resources, but none for panic. He
hoped that the house would not con-
fuse hysteria with strength, and an
nounced that the position of the gov
ernment was distinctly better than
had been anticipated in August.
Texas and other revenue were
coming in extraordinarily we'll, and
he no longer thought that new taxa
tion would be required.
Mr.. Chamberlain asserted that no
single feature of the world situation
had placed heavier burdens upon
Great Britain than the fact that no
treaty of peace with Turkey had been
signed, and no settlement in the east
had been reached. For this, how
ever, the government was in no way
responsible.
He continued that it was not
within the power of the British gov
ernment to remedy the Turkish sit
uation, which was an international
affair. Everybody knew that set
tlement was being delayed, pending
a decision by the United States
whether she would undertake her
part of the white mans burden, and
the execution of the tutelage of
Turkey under the league of nations.
, Mr.. Chamberlain said. that gem
eral levy upon capital was out of the
question. A levy upon war profits
! stood upon a different footing, but
the difficulties of undertaking such
a scheme of taxation were immense
and the disadvantages out weighed
the advantages.
The floating debt on October &c,
Mr.. Chamberlain told the house,
amounted to $723,710, 900, 100000.
He anticipated that next year there
would be substantial balance on the
year to go towards the reduction of
the debt.
Describing the British loan in the
United States, Mr.. Chamberlain said
the effect. would be that the govern
ment had secured the conversion of
an external debit into an internal
debt, which was tantamount to plac-
ing national war bonds with Ameri-
can investors at a more favorable
rate of exchange than was obtainable
in the open market.
The chancellor declared there was
no financial crisis justifying such

Need For New
School Building

A pressing need for more room in
the grade schools this term points to
the necessity of adding a new school
building to Blackfoot's public edu-
cational system before another term
commences. Pupils are still coming
in, last week at the rate of about ten
a day. All of the rooms of the
Central and Irving schools are prac-
tically filled to their maximum, which
is forty-five, and is a greater number
than best health measures would
justify. The gymnasium at the
Central school is serving as a school
building for class work.
The trustees of the Blackfoot
schools are alive to the new need for
expansion. A shortage of teachers is
also worrying the school board and
county school superintendent.

Men have told me that all the

Spites and jealousies were mingled
with public duty, guilty men were
caught red-handed and punished, and
cooked up charges that were ac-

being proved. But the higher courts,

Bruce Simpson, who for several
months has been efficiently managing
the re-organized movie theaters, the
Orpheum and Isis, for the owner, A.
E. Heasley, left early in the week for
Salt Lake City, severing his connec-
tlons in Blackfoot.
Mr.. Simpson took charge, of the
shows shortly after Mr.. Heasley
bought them from Robert Boyd and
in few weeks had increased the
patronage to such an extent that
more seating capacity was needed in
both houses. Some of the best films
produced were secured for Blackfoot
and appeared simultaneously with
the same films in Salt Lake City and
Boise
Mr.. Heasley had the fronts of the
movie houses remodeled and put
more seats in them; secured good
music for each, contracted with
vaudeville players and booked high
class film service to the end of 1920.
Mr.. Heasley himself now has taken
charge of the booking of shows and
their production, while David Gibby
will handle the advertising.
