II was pointed out that the levy tor
road construction could not be IN
cluded in making comparisons as this
is the first real road effort the state
has made and the levy was necessary
in order to- procure government
money providing Idaho wanted inn
proved highways. The sentiment over
the state appeared to be almost unani-
nous for highway building and i'm
provements, as reflected by the state
ments and actions of members OF all
political parties. :.
Bonds, payment of which is dis
tributed over a number of years, are
not. of course, considered as appro-
priations.
The public, according to these leg
slators, do not oppose proper care OF
state institutions nor road improve
mcnts, but they do object to the hold
over bill from the Alexander admins
tration. 1t had to be paid, however, or
Idaho would stand in the light of
|repudiator.
Senator Adams, chairman of the
finance committee, said: When we
consider the hold-over, the war bur
den, the necessity for reconstruction
work and the making of state levies
for political purposes far below the
requirements Of normal times we feel
confident the public will understand
the reason for the extra appropria-
tons and will justify them"
Representative Cecil Weeks, chair
man of the appropriation committee.
said: Probably no session of the leg
islature in years has been confronted
with heavier responsibilities. We had
to take care of growing institutions,
of necessary highway improvements
to the state abreast of the times and
to arrange for deficits Of the two pre-
ceding administrations Now, the tax
payers will have to pay not only the
bill necessary for the next two years
but the shortage of the past four years
occasioned by an effort to fool the
people into the belief that the Alexan-
der administrations were saving them
money. The Alexanders chickens
have come home to roost."

WELL KNOWN NOTUS
WOMAN IN WRECK
Mrs. c. E. Spalding Still in Hospital
Injuries More Serious Than
at First Appeared.

C. E. Spalding, well known resi-
dent of Notus, was in Caldwell Mon
day. Mr.. Spalding stated that the in
juries Mrs. Spalding had sustained in
railroad wreck at Rockford, Illinois
February Path were proving more
serious than at first appeared. Mrs
Spalding is still in Rockford hos
pital and in a serious condition.
February Path, a Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul train left the rails one
mile southwest of Latham Park
Two persons were killed, possibly a
score or more suffered injuries more
or less serious. About 135 persons
were on the train.
Back Injured
Mrs. Spalding was en- route to Kan
sas City. At the time it was reported
that her back was hurt, head badly cut
and body bruised. Later develop
ments indicate that the injuries were
very serious. Her shoulder bone was
broken. Monday she was to have un-
dergone an operation and Mr.. Spald-
ing stated she would be in the hos
pital for two or three weeks.
Mrs. Spalding went east some time
ago to visit daughter at Kansas City
While at Kansas City sister living in
Wisconsin became sick and she went
to her bedside, 1t was when returning
to Kansas City that the railroad wreck
occurred

THE ALEXANDER FINANCIAL
CHICKS HOME TO ROOST
Immense Balance Used up and Deficit
in Every Fund Now-Hold Over
Bill Must Be Paid.

The Alexander administration was
handed a balance of 100000 to COM
mence 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 in
surance money in paying bills for cur
rent purposes. 1t left behind unpaid
warrants amounting to more than
$4,000 and deficiency warrants
amounting to more than $l45,0OO. For
political reasons it made the tax lew
tor the past two years so low there
was a shortage of $4,000 to cover
the needs of the state as known when
the levy was made. Here, altogether.
is more than 100000 of financial
deficit in four years of Alexander ad-
ministration. 1t should have turned
IN as much as it received. 1t should
not have spent through the general
fund these special funds. 1t Should
not have created any such warrant and
deficiency Indebtedness as a legacy for
its successor. On the other hand. in
stead OF creating this enormous deficit
1t should have saved the state millions
according to the promises.
1t it had not been for the deficit
lett by the Alexander administration
the session OF the legislature lust
closed would not have been compelled
to appropriate more for current ex-
penses than usual excepting enough
to care for the growth of institutions
in harmony with the development of
the state. This was shown from the
Official records as carefully examined
during the session.

The extent of cultivation of the valley lands all the way up to Solomonville and the evident prosperity of the ranchman was a continual surprise. The fertility of the soil and the prospects for the future are not confined to the Salt River valley.
 'The new road from Stafford over the mountains to Clifford, Morenci, and Metcalf is certainly wonder. and the views, l believe, are not surpassed in this or any other country. So thought some friends who accompanied me and who have been in the habit of spending a portion Of each year in Europe or other foreign parts of the world. A part of the distance from Stafford south to Bowie (say 30 miles) the road is positively bad, something that cannot be said of any other part of the route we followed. The least interesting part of the trip was from the latter town te Douglas through the partially developed dry farming section of Sulphur Springs valley. And yet on account of the va riety 1t gave to the outing it had ar interesting quality.

WH|PPET TANKS ID
 AID IN THE COMING
 VICTORY JOAN DRIVE

The two whippet tanks which the government has assigned for the com ing Victory Liberty loan campaign in the southwest, have been especially "dolled up" for the occasion. Along with 10 others which are to serve in the west, these tanks have been camou- flaged according to lines provided by the government. Four distinct designs have been used.
 The tanks look very much alike on first inspection, but careful scrutiny shows a difference in pattern and that what appears like a careless use of colors is in reality a scientific place ment of the four dull hues which aid making the tanks inconspicuous.
 The Victory Liberty loan tanks are not toys. Though small compared with such giants as the famous "Brittania," :" they are none the less real and are capable of giving a full account of themselves in combat It was with tanks like these that the government expected to break the German Gefe,tces. Postwar statements show that had the war continued many months longer there would have been a whippet ready for every 70 feet of the western front.
 Each whippet is manned by two ex- perts. Both driver and machine gun man are experienced in both branches of the tank service, in order that in case of accident the gunner may drive or the drive man the gun. The gun on these particular tanks are the fa- nous Browning rapid fire rifle.
 The interior of the tank is small. The driver sits in the extreme front with an elevation off the floor of but a few inches and the gunner stands immediately back of him surrounded by his reels of cartridges. The engine is in a separate compartment in the rear. It can be cranked from the in side but in case of serious trouble can only be reached through trap doors in the roof.
 The schedules on which these tanks will tour ,the west are practically com plete. The people of this section will have an opportunity to see one of these tanks in action when their city is wis tied by the trophy train.
