u. S. WAS FAR BEHIND
IN WAR EXPENDITURES
Enlightening information From Fig
ures Computed by War
Department.

Those who believe that the United
States has contributed far more to the
prosecution OF the war than any Of
the other allies, may CLEAN some en-
tightening information from figures re-
Gently compiled by the Treasury De-
partment.
These figures show that in compari-
son with Great Britain, for example,
this country was far behind in total
expended.
The latest available statistics show
that Great Britain's war bill totalled
$37, 100, 900, 900, in comparison with
$1S,4S1, 100000 for the United States.
Criticism has been heard that this
country loaned Great Britain, France
and others of the allies all the money
they spent. The Treasury figures also
disprove this statement. Our total
loans to the Allies we're $7,S75, 000, 900
and Great Britain lent IS, 500, 900, 900.
Even France, generally considered
a poor war spender. devoted more to
winning the war than did America
with a total of $27,0 600, 1000. Russia
was right behind us with SIS, 900, 000,-
900.
Germany was second only to Great
Britain in paying for the four years
OF war for the Berlin government
poured out $36, 500, 200, 900 in a vain at.
tempt to get her place in the sun. The
other Teutonic allies added $23, 900,
000, 900, giving the Central Empires a
total war bill OF $50, 500, 900, 900.

The Opening Gun.

Americas duty TO her soldiers who
suffered and bled and died for liberty
on the fields OF France was empha-
sized in a stirring speech by Carter
Glass, Secretary of the Treasury, in
the Minneapolis Auditorium the night
of March 20.
In his talk he pointed out the need
of raising money the government must
have ito finish the job" that the wear,
ers of the khaki started SO we'll on
the other side OF the Atlantic.
The speech was the opening gun in
the Victory Loan campaign that opens
April 81 and was followed closely by
a capacity house, made up Of county
chairmen from the Ninth District and
delegates to the Better business con
vention. He spoke in Part as follows:
When | am told of the difficulties
which will beset the Victory Loan i
refuse to lose faith in the enduring
patriotism of the American people; /
decline to believe that the fathers and
mothers who gave four million ons
to die, il need be, that liberty might
survive, will now haggle over the ma
terial cost of saving the very soul OF
civilization from the perdition of Prus-
sian tyranny.
but | am told that we must APP
proach the problem of future loans in
a distinctly cold-blooded mood. Some
men tell me it will be impossible again
to appeal to the patriotism of the
American people. Frankly, gentlemen,
! should despair Of my country If these
things were exactly true. / should
doubt our ability to cope with the
problems Of peace IL so quickly we
should forget the obligations of war.
/ wonder If those who talk in this
fashion speak considerably? They
tell about the sacrifices" the Ameri-
can people have made, and in their
voices there is a metallic tone and in
their mien unconscious austerity.
What is meant by the sacrifices of
war for America? Where are our
devastated fields and ruined cities?
Where our cathedrals destroyed and
homes profaned? Where our defled
women and starved children and
wrecked men? Where on this wide
continent does hunger stalk abroad or
pestilential disease claim it's thousands
OF victims? Is 1t, then, a serious sac
rifice to invest ones money in the
interest-bearing obligations of ones
government in order to make ever
lastingly secure the nations freedom
as well as the nations property?
Our allies fought for us nearly
three years before we began to fight
with them. For nearly that period OF
time the United States profited tre-
mendously, i'm a commercial and in
dustrial sense, by the European war.
immense fortunes we're made; pros
perity ~pervaied our land. France and
britain lost millions of men killed and
millions Of others wounded. Less than
sixty thousand American heroes sleep
beneath the sod Of France. Those men
made the supreme sacrifice. Should
we dishonor their memories or dimin-
ish the glory of their service by paus-
ing In the cheerful performance OF al
imperative duty?
When men undertake to compute
the sacrifices of a war for freedom in
terms OF m l would like them

Captain Arnold Cooley, center, was
an ideal leader, possessing pep" ind

scored almost one half of Bosses points
and was a big factof in the teams sue
cess.
William Lansden played one forward
and was a main stay of Bosses ma
chine. He was a good fighter. played
the floor well and had an eagle eye
for the basket. 'Bill'' will be back
next year.
Allen Brown, right guard, was the
best defensive man on the team. He
could play the floor well and when in
structed TO stick a forward, he did
so, as he proved against Jensen in the
second Weiser game. The terrible
"Rassler'' was the ideal guard, posses
sing weight speed, accuracy and a
good eye.
Gerald Black played left guard dur
ing three games and played very
creditable game, in spite of the fact
that he was invariably smaller than
his opponents.
Homer (Tuffy) Martin played guard
during one game and was a valuable
man to the squad, being able to play
center or guard. fluffy" was q strong

MOTOR TRUCK USEFUL
on EXPRESS ROUTES
Prove to Be Complete Success,
Both Financially to Owner
and as a Service to the Pub
licRurals Benefited.

Probably one Of the biggest fields
of usefulness for motor trucks is the
rural express route. Although this
work has only been started in the Uni
ted States, enough has been done to
prove that such routes are complete
success. both financially for the owner
and from standpoint of service to
the public" says j. ]. Golstein, of the
Bannock Motor Car company handling
Maxwell trucks.
With such assurance, it is safe to
predict that the rural motor express
will grow at a rate that will astonish
even those who are most confident of
its future. Prospective truck opera
tors should not make a mistake of
waiting for good roads to be built be-
fore starting local motor express
routes Good roads will follow the es-
tablishment of motor truck lines. ra-
ther than precede them. In other
words, the necessity for good roads
will be more than ever evident when
truck lines are once established, and
the public will find it SO convenient
and necessary to keep these lines in
continuous operation that they will be
willing to be taxed for road improve
ments.
PROBLEM is BIG.
Likewise-the big problem in mar
keting live stock is to get the cattle
to market in the quickest possible
time. in order to prevent loss of
weight, and insure delivery in the best
possible condition, to secure the high
est prices. If cattle are driven for
several hours, they will reach the mar
ket in an exhausted condition, losing
considerable in weight, and still more
in appearance.
For these reasons. many cattle rails
ers and ranch owners are adopting mo-
tor trucks for hauling cattle, and they
are finding that the saving in time
alone is more than paying for their
Investment. The saving in loss OF
weight and appearance of their cattle
Is remarkable.
The motor truck has proven of vital
Importance in helping the farmer raise
the bumper crops that have so clearly
demonstrated his patriotism and he
now realizes the truck is necessary

DUCK LAW SAME.
The open season on ducks remains

duck in the new law is increased from

There has been practically no change
in the big game law covering deer, elk
and goats, except that an open season
has been declared on elk in Celarwa-
ter county. conforming to the law that
has heretofore been open in Idaho, the
neighboring county.
The bounty has been taken off bear;
and otter, that was heretofore protect
ed, is put on the unprotected list of
fur bearing animals.
LICENSES HIGHER.
The new law also provides for Ii
cense for trappers ranging from SIS on
a resident license to $25 for non-resi-
dent trappers and $50 for aliens, with
a closed trapping season throughout
the year except from October / to
March 81, for all fur bearing animals.
The price of licenses for 1919 has
been increased for residents from 81
to $3.50 and the nonresident fishing
license has been reduced from SIS to 50
with a reciprocal clause for nom resi-
dent big game hunters from neighbor-
ing states providing that residents Of
these neighboring states pay the same
price for non resident big game IL
censes as charged for the non resident
license in the state in which the pur-
chaser resides.

no material or drastic alterations of
the old law affecting the man who goes
afield with rod or gun.
