THE ALEXANDER FINANCIAL CHICKS
COME HOME TO ROOST

The Alexander administration was handed bal
ance of 100000 to keeping the state house
with That was all spent 1t used $4,000 of Snake
river bridge funds $4,000 of Gem district funds and
$4,000 of insurance money in paying bills for cur
rent purposes. 1t left behind unpaid warrants
amounting to more than $500000 and deficiency war
rants amounting to more than $145OO0. For pol1tl-
cal reasons it made the tax levy for the past two
years so low there shortage of $177OO0 to cover
the needs of the state as known when the levy was
made Here altogether, is more than $2,OOO,0OO of
financial deficit in four years Of Alexander admins
tration 1t should have turned in as much as 1t re-
ceved 1t should not have spent through the general
fund these special funds. 1t should not have created
any such warrants and deficiency Indebtedness as
legacy for its successor.
If it had not been for the deficit left by the Alex
ander administrations the session of the legislature
lust closed would not have been compelled to appro-
pirate more for current expenses than usual eX-
ceptng enough to care for the growth of lnStltu-
tions in harmony with the development of the state
This was shown from the official records carefully
examined during the session.
Senator Adams chairman of the finance commit
tee said: when we consider the holdover, the war
burden, the necessity for reconstruction work and
the making of state eves for political purposes far
below the requirements of normal times, we feel con-
fdent the public will understand the reason for the
extra appropriations and will Justify them
Representative Cecil Weeks chairman of the ap-
propriation committee, said Probably no session
of the legislature in years has been confronted with
heavier responsibilities. We had to take care OF
growing institutions, of necessary highway improve
ment to keep the state abreast OF the times and TO ar
range for deficits of the two preceding admlnstra-
tions Now the taxpayers will have to pay not only
the bill necessary for the next two years but the
shortages of past foyears occasioned by an et-
fort to fool the people into the belief that the Alex
ander administrations were saving them money.
The Alexander chickens have come home to roost.

memorandum of the senate propa-

Bolshevik republic" Mr. Lamar said
his conclusion was based upon infor-
nation contained in seized mail mat
ter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter. Mr.. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted
with such regularity that its magni-
tude can be measured by the out
spoken statements contained in these
publications and the efforts meas
ured therein to inaugurate nation
wide reign of terror and overthrow
the government"
Mr. Lamar said 1t was significant
that this was the first time in the
history of the so-called radical move
ment in the United States that these
radical elements have found com

they can all unite" lie referred par

B0RAH Is PLANNING A
TOUR OF THE WEST
win Conduct Campaign to Coast
Against Nations League Proposal
Returns 10 Capital Pleased With
Results OF Eastern Speeches.

The only thing needed to arouse
the American people against the lea
que of nations Is TO tell them exactly
what IL means TO American rights
When they learn the truth about 10
they say we want nothing TO do with
it,"
This was the comment Tuesday OF
Senator Boran of Idaho upon his re-
turn To Washington from speaking
tour against the league Of nations
proposal. His conviction on the at
titude of the people is based not only
on the sentiments of those who at
tended his meetings, but upon the
enormous amount OF correspondence
which accumulated In his office dur
ing his absence,
Beginning with speech next Fri
day night at Troy, n, Y, and one az
Rochester the following Sunday night.
Senator Borah will start out ON an
other tour which win take him into
the heart of the west and in all prob
ability to the Pacific coast He villa

range meeting which will be held
probably on the night of March Is
or 19. Preliminary plans for the
campaign are being perfected In Chi

II am very well satisfied with the
results of the trip,"said Senator Bo-
rah Il found that the people, as a
rule. had been misled as to the plans
and purposes of the league ana
knew nothing at all about II; they
had visionary idea that II meant
merely the stoppage of all war, They
are beginning to find out something
about II. BY that / do not mean that
my speeches are having any such
wonderful effect, but all over the
country the people are beginning to-
understand just what is proposed by
the league and hey are declaring
themselves against it,
After Senator Borah returns from
his western speaking tour he intends
to devote himself to the preparation
OF q bill to provide for the submission
of the league plan to u vote of the
people He has advocated in all of
his speeches ON the subject that the
proposal should not be put into ef-

AGEEMENT REACHED ON
DIVISION OF SHIPS
Great Britain VIII Sink Her Share,
But Allow France and Italy to Keep
TheirS

IneirS.
A change in the attitude of the Brit
ish government regarding the plan
to sink interned German warships
has been noticed since the return of
Premier Lloyd George to Paris. 1t
now appears probable that Great Brit
ain will be willing to permit France
and Italy to keep some of the ships
but will sink her own allotment.
In this way it is said, Great Britain
would relieve the United States of the
necessity of carrying out her projec
ted great naval building program,
which, it is understood was based on
the intention to prevent any one ma
ton from having such predominant
navy as would give her control of the
seas against the powers of the league
of nations.
The addition of a limited number
OF the German warships to the French
and Italian navies would not sensibly
disturb the present balance of naval
power, excluding Austria and Ger
many.
The desire of American naval ex-
perts that the German ships be eli
minated completely, it is said, is based
on considerations of economy, as they
hold that if the German ships are CIV
en- to Great Britain in the proportion
proposed the United States would be
compelled to spend one billion dollars
to maintain her place in the naval
lists.
