After it had made it's great ap-
preparations for different wan
purposes it usually had to turn
to and investigate the applica-
ton of the funds.
1t was in every sense Of the
word a militant body. When it
was not making war appropria-
tions or pursuing war investiga-
tions or appointing food or fuel
war commissions it was general
ly engaged in internal dissen-
sions with the administration.
After all it was our congress
and a thoroughly American one
1t did thing after thing it set out
to do, supplied the country near
ly four million fighting men, fur
nished the sinews Of war for
them and stood at their backs
while they went thru to victory.

The Idaho legislature

The Idaho legislature did it's
supreme act of misrepresenta-
ton of the people of this state
when on last Thursday it passed
resolution opposing the League
of Nations. 1t is a safe guess that
not over a dozen members of
that august CD body knew what
they were doing when they vot-
ed on this resolution; and one is
here reminded Of the remark of
an Idaho solon Of a previous ses-
sion when nagged about the odds
and ends that got by him and his
colleagues: ooh, we pass any
thing down there (but a drink
and let the supreme court decide
its validity This anti-League
resolution got through by about
the same SYSTEM If this League
Of Nations means permanent
peace, the people, are for the
League, but the war profiteer-
ing class will oppose it by every
U. S. senator and. other means in
their control. just carefully note
who is behind the opposition to-
the League, and keep asking
yourself, why?

casualties of the American army
in France as shown by revised
divisional records announced to,
day by General March totaled
240,197 These include killed IN

The second regular division
showed the greatest losses in the
revised list with 24,429. The first

Present estimates Of military
authorities put the number of
Americans disabled in the war at
100000. Of this number, it is
estimated that $4,000 will be able
to return to their old occupa-
tons, leaving 10000 who need
retraining for work suited to
their MANNED condition.
The federal. board of vocation
al education, appealing to the
country today for aid III the cam
paign to make disabled soldiers
Independent by making them
self-supporting, announced that
so far $4,000 men injured in
fighting the battle of democracy,
have registered for retraining.
The applications of 1900 have
been approved and 500 actually
nave started courses in reeduca-
ion. At least $4,000 disabled
men are expected to enroll for
vocational courses.
Tuition, books and living ex-
,enses are provided all disabled
men taking courses, which may
'ange from six months shop
raining to four year college
course. In no case does the al
owance fall below $65 a month.

NOW THE HOME BUILDERS.

NOW THE HOME BUILDERS.
Five hundred thousand new
houses needed at once within the
boundaries Of the United States
SO the Department of Labor
tells us, and if we study the con-
ditions at home and realize that
they are similar throughout the
country, We shall be inclined to
trust to the accuracy of it's state
ment.
Houses are not to be had. In
quiries for them either for pur-
chase or rent meet with disap-
pointment The restriction of
building during the war has of
course played great part in
producing this scarcity of homes.
A shortage Of houses is to be
regretted for several reasons. 1t
means congestion. Where two
families are living in quarters
which are by rights only suffi-
cient for one. there is inevitably
crowding enough to affect the
conditions of life more or less
Jmfavorably.
Also, if a small town has only
houses enough for it's present in
habitants there is no possibility
of further growth. New resi-
dents, however satisfactory they
might be as citizens, simply can
not be Accommodated.
Men who have capital or can
arrange for the use of it should
wake up to conditions and real
ize that the present is an excel
lent time for building.
In the first place, the greatest
necessity of the country just now
is work for the returned SOL
diers and sailors. Building will
furnish this.
In the second place, building
would be an act Of public spirit,
supplying the builders home
town with the houses required
for its progress and growth.
lastly, the demand for houses
shows that well-built homes will |
prove an excellent investment |
for the builder. Houses to rent
will be an assured source Of in
come. And the sale of houses
upon easy monthly payments is
a most satisfactory plan. A
town which has these to offer
can secure a fine class of thrifty,
prudent citizens, who as they are
property-holders, will be inter-
ested in their homes and sur
roundings.
1t is to be hoped that as the
season progresses, we shall see a
good class of homes going up in
Nezperce, such as will reflect
credit upon the town and bring
profit to the builders.

SOLDIERS GET $50.

The section of the revenue act
approved February "a 1919,
which authorizes the payment of
a sixty-dollar bonus to all sol
diers and sailors honorable dis
charged from the service, is a
piece Of fair and wise legisla-
ton.
The nation has taken these
men from positions where they
were earning living and has
employed them in it's defence at
a wage less than they were re-
ceiving. 1t is incumbent upon it
to protect them against the
chance of delay in finding en-
ployment. If a man goes direct
iy back to a position the bonus
will be useful to him. But if it
takes time for him to secure en-
Iployment the sixty dollars will
be a wonderful help in tiding
him over.
Those who are discharged
hereafter will receive the bonus
with their final pay. Soldiers
who have been discharged and
have not received it should COM
with the zone finance
officer. Lemon building, Wash
ington, d C., stating particulars
and enclosing their discharge
certificates. Sailors discharged
without the bonus should make
claim for payment upon the

counts at Washington.

OUR GREAT WAR CONGRESS

The Sixty-fifth Congress, just
expired, has been a body of re-
markable experiences. No con-
gress in our history has had as
many and important problems
with which to deal. We will all
agree that it did many wise and
beneficent things and many
things which it should not have
done. Also that it failed to do
many things which it should
have done.
This summary only shows that
body of men is human, and
therefore both as well-intention-
ed and as liable to err as the in
dividual man.
We remember that this con-
gress declared state of war be-
tween the United States and the
imperial German government,
and later, against the Austro-
Hungarian government.
We gasp when we learn that
in two years it appropriated
nearly SIS billion dollars!
1t passed the greatest tax laws
in parliamentary history, in two
years levying ten billion dollars
IN taxes upon the people. And in
the same time it authorized bond
issues aggregating twenty-five
billions.
1t passed law to make the
country dry after July LIST, 1919,
for the duration Of the war. And
then it passed a constitutional
amendment for national prohibit

STORY OF A MAXWELL
SCOOTING OVER ROCKIES

Twenty-Five miles to the gallon Of
gasoline over the hardest mountain
ranges of Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Ore
son and Washington.
That, approximately is the phenom-
inal mileage of a sturdy little Max
well owned by j. w. Brkhold, of En-
that, Wash.
The entire trip covered 1920 miles on
166 gallons Of gasoline and only three
gallons of oil. The Rockies and num-
erous mountain ranges of the states
mentioned, were crossed under adverse
conditions. In this whole trip the mo-
tor of the car was never touched once
The harder the pull the better the
Maxwell seemed TO respond. Grades of
q per cent and more were frequently
encountered and many automobiles
were pulled from mud holes.
After all this experience, Mr.. Birk-
hold adds, the car is running as pleas
ingly as the afternoon he left Rose
wood. Ohio.

STEEL STUDDED TIRE
COVERS TO Be USED
IN THE GEM STATE

9. +. Laughlin is here visiting his
parents and also establishing a state
agency for the Risse Tire corporation,
makers of the steel-studded tire.
MIR. Laughlin had his attention at
tracted to this make of tire while he
was on duty in Europe during the war.
Practically all the autos used there
We're so equipped. The process is to
volcanic steel studded leather on the
casing, thereby at least doubling the
life of the tire.
The European steel-studded tire,
however only covered the tread while
the American make covers the casing
from bead to bead
Mr.. Laughlin says his company
guarantees 5000 additional miles on the
average tire, but expects to increase
the guarantee, SO soon as harder steel
can be procured, to 5000 or 1000 miles.
I'VE know of cases." he said, where
tires run better than 5000 miles have
been equipped with the steel-studded
leather and used from $4,000 to $4,000
miles more
The cost of the leather covering, with
the steel suds, which renders the tire
puncture proof and non -skidding, as
claimed. and also detracts nothing
from its resiliency, is about one half
the original cost of the tire.

have taken the state agency for Idaho.

important is the grade percentage.
Hill country demands u different gear
ratio than for machines that run over
level ground-the engine of hill

lever with which to work.
For suburban delivery, where speed
is an essential item In the service,
light trucks are advisable when fire.
quent stops are made. Where fixed
loads over a given route are to be
hauled, a truck of medium speed and
large hauling capacity Is wise selec-
ton. But, for the owner having heavy
haulage In congested districts, speed
is sacrificed for heavy carrying power.
Regulated speed allows the owner to
plan his delivery system and check
up his drivers.

POINTERS ON TRUCKS
Making Wrong Selection of
Units in Fleet Means Elk.
pense and Waste Of Time.

Choosing the right truck for tho
job.
This Is the question Confronting
hundreds OF business men who have
decided to discard the horse md
wagon for motor truck haulage.
The prospective buyer of a motor
truck should carefully analyze his
hauling needs and get all the qualities
and requirements a truck must pos
sess to measure up to his demands.
Making the wrong selection in buying
either one or fleet of trucks would
mean serious waste of time and
money.
Merchant, manufacturer or farmer
must first analyze his hauling prob
lens by consideration OF the following
Observation-Disclosures importance rank
ing In the order named: Size of aver
age load, power. governing speed, size
of body wheelbase, type of truck.
The size of the average load Is the
factor which determines CARRYING ca :
pacity of the truck selected. The oper-
ator hauling small units has a differ
ent problem from the owner who hauls
heavy machinery. The former may Sc
lect any capacity truck he desires,
while the latter must select a machine
capable of carrying maximum load,
In order to avoid the evils of overload
ing.
And the carrying capacity feature
has still another angle-the man who
has haul over a prescribed distance
each day which necessitates employ
ing one particular truck for the work.
He should be cautioned to select a
truck which will serve his maximum
capacity load, in order that he may not
overload or cause second trip. Routes,
schedules and the character of the
merchandise hauled have direct
bearing on the choice of truck.
The power of the truck selected
should be determined only after care

carried, the character of the service
and the percentage of grade in the zone

CHALMERS MAKES 4
RECORD ON MILEAGE

Stirred by the claims Of rival mo-
torist, Gordon b. Grove. manager OF
the Cudahy Ranch company at Ord
way, Colo, has furnished some very
convincing figures on the performances
of his Chalmers.
The mileage and gasoline consump-
ton of this rival car had been given
considerable attention in one of the
trade magazines that came. to Mr..
Groves notice. His Chalmers having
just finished a very rough trip, with
even better results, he sent the follow
ing information to the factory:
81 am sending these figures" writes
Grove, because this other fellow
seems pretty well satisfied over his
record and the facts are that my Chal-
mers got more miles both on gas and
oil.
MY car was the first seven passen-
ger shipped to Denver in the summer
of 1916. 1t had been driven 1900
miles when we started on our recent
trip east. We went as far as st. Joe,
Mich, and covered 1895 miles Of which
.609 miles were driven in 10 days. Bad
roads and storms were encountered
and we pulled through mud holes on
our own power, where lighter cars
were being pulled out by horses. That
| veteran Chalmers forded creeks, where
bridges were out ferried rivers, pull
ed through miles of mud, running

BIG PNEUMATIC TIRES
EASIEST ON THE ROADS

Making money by establishing motor
lines for the transportation of passen-
gers and freight presents today one of
the best fields of opportunity for the
man with little capital at his dis
posal.
The development of lines of this
sort between towns and cities has only
just begun, and is certain to grow tres.
mendously in the next few years The
opportunities are especially good in
sections where railroad service is not
good. But even in parts of the count i.
try where the railroad schedules, are
the best, auto lines are doing a gooo
business hauling freight.
Big vehicles are necessary to carry
loads of passengers or freight, and the
big pneumatics make it possible for
trucks and large buses to travel be-
tween towns at n speed and with a
comfort unobtainable on solid tires.
Passengers can be carried over long
distances with as little jar as in a
limousine, while fragile commodities,
such as eggs, can be carried to market
with little danger of damage. Incl
dentally, the cars can be operated at
much less expense on pneumatics than
on solids.
One of the facts about which farmers
comment is the lack of damage to road dis
by heavy vehicles travelling on the big
pneumatics. The tax paying farmers
view with dissatisfaction any convey
ance which tears up their roads, but
their comments on motor cars equip
ped with large pneumatics are en-
tirely commendatory.
