its entirety IS considered impossl-
BILE, two Of It's provisions IN par
ticular seem 10 have especially
afflicted the Germans. These
are the cession Of upper Sllesia
to Poland and the demand for
the surrender Of the former kal-
ser. Upper Sile>ia contains VAIN
able coal fields, while the pro
posed trial Of the Kaiser, FOR
whom the Germans people have
been stepped in veneration, ton
ches the national pride to tie
Iquick.
The most scrious aspect Of the
situation j. that labor condltlons
in Germany are going from bad
to worse. There are strikes cv-
ervvhare. and it is believed that
III people n despair Of home con
ditions and the eNactlons Of the
treaty may burn their bridges be
hind them and turn to Lenine
and Bol>hevism.
An idea of the depression INTO
which the Germans have been
plunged by the treaty may be
gained from the following tele-
gram sent by the President Of thc
Imperial Ministry to the Govern
mcntS of the free states:
In deep distress and
weighed down by cares, the
German people have waited
through the months Of the
! armistice for the peace con
ditions. Their publication
has brought the bitterest
disappointment 4 unspeak-
| able grief to the entire peo-
pie. A public expression
ought to be given these feel
I ings by all Germans.

ment requests that the free

mentS suspended for week
and allow in the theatres on
~ such productions as cor
| respond to the seriousness Of
these grievous days. =

A. Any public road no part of

United States mails at the time the
application for federal aid is made,
provided it does not exceed ten miles
in length and connects the end Of
road with the beginning of another
road over both of which the United
States mails are being transported
at the time such application is made.
Under the law Of the state, federal
post road aid must be applied on a
state highway.
If Bingham county votes it's bond
issue, the county commissioners will
then be in a position to demand q
large amount of federal aid on such
portions of the state highway in
Bingham county as will come under
the above definition,b ut for the rea-
son indicated above, 1t is not within
our power at this time to make any
promise as to the approximate
amount. We can simply say that
the amount Of federal aid cannot ex-
ceed the total of the funds provided
by the county, plus the $4,000
available from the state.

Special Road Edition
Will be Mailed Soon
Full of Good Material on the Road
Question by Merchants From
all Over the County
TO ADVERTISE OUR VALLEY

The Special Road Bond edition
of the Idaho Republican will go to
the public Thursday evening, March
H. 1t, will be different from any
thing we have yet put out. A large
number of the leading, public
spirited men and firms of this county
and some from the outside, have
hired space in the paper to tell what
they think of the bond and road en-
terprise. Almost every advertise
ment is an editorial expression by
the author, and it will be rich and
original because it is written by the
live men and women of the country
and on live subject that most peo-
pie are anxious about.
The special will be enclosed within
the regular edition and sent to all
subscribers free. The special part
Of it will also be sent free to a large
number Of citizens of the county
who are interested in having the in
formation it contains.
1t takes over a ton of book paper
to print the edition. 1t will take
two-cent stamp to carry each of them
to the readers, who are not sub
scribers, and people are requested
to mail copies to their friends in
other states to advertise our valley,
for it contains much matter that is
valuable to the home seeker and in
yestor, and some Of 1t is said to
possess a charm for the eastern
reader. You can-be the judge of
that, and If 1t Is worth using to ad-
vertise your county, make good use
of it, for it represents an infinite
amount Of work and big expense
bill shared by all the. advertisers,
and most Of them did it for public
good rather than for their own
good. If you feel like showing your
appreciation and thanks for this gift
when it comes, you can do so by
patronizing the advertisers who
made 1t possible for us to send 1t
to you.

A FIFTY-D0LLAR
PRIZE LETTER
Tells of Ways Farmer
Can Easily Pay
Heavier Tax
WINNING LETTER

When the Idaho Republican COM
menced work on this special edition,
the Eccles Hotel of Blackfoot thru
the medium of the paper, offered
$4,000 for the best. short letter on
how the farmer can pay his tax
under the road bond more easily
than he has been paying the taxes
using the roads as they have been.
The following letter, written by Mrs.
L. E. Spalding drew the prize:
The object in making good roads
is primarily to benefit the farmer.
Good roads enable the farmer to
take advantage of the best markets
at the least possible hauling expense,
which fact alone, in this county,
would enable him to pay his road
tax under the bond system more
easily than he can now pay the pres
ent tax with impossible roads, or
with heavy roads which necessitate
the hauling of several loads instead
of one.
The greater the distance his farm
is removed from the market station
lllc 6IcdIeT U0HeuL liz Will receive
from road improvement. If he is
located distance of five miles he
can make but two trips a day over
bad roads, whereas if the roads were
in good condition he could make 3
or more trips, with less fatigue to
his team and less wear to his wagon.
No argument should be necessary to
convince the farmer that he is MAX
ing very material saving in his
expenses, proportionate to
the distance he is removed from
market, by having good roads.
Anything that would result in ma
terial saving would help him pay
his taxes more readily; therefore
the saving of his teams and vehicles
should be considered.
BY having the roads in condition
to admit of an occasional trip to
town in the off season when roads
under present conditions are at their
worst) to give the family and help
recreation, the farmer would keep up
the morale of the farm, thus in
creasing its earning capacity.

F. M. Fisher,
County Auditor,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear sir: .....
Replying in the absence of Mr..
Allen to your telegram Of today,
under the terms of House Bill No.
238, there are available state funds
for the construction and improve
ment of the Yellowstone Park State
Highway in Bingham county, in the
amount of $4,000. The availability
of this sum is contingent upon CO.
operative funds being supplied from
other sources.
If the county and state cooperate,
the law declares that the proportion
Of the total cost borne by the county
shall be two-thirds, and by the state,
one-third.
But when the federal aid is involved
the highway commission has inter-
preted the law to authorize it to
make the States proportion such an
amount as it deems best for the IN
terest of the state.
Under the terms of the amend
ment. to the federal aid road act
passed by congress since March l.,
a large sum Of federal aid is now
available to Idaho. The method Of
apportioning this to different Sec
tions of the state must be determined
by the commissioner of public work,
who will assume the duties of the
present highway commission on
March 81, under the provisions of
the new administration consolida-
tion bill which goes into effect upon
that date.
AS far as we are aware, the gov
ernor has not yet made this appoint
