What Is Sc Cents?

6THE cost of carrying the small amount
of bonds necessary to provide ap-
u proaches to the capitol is Sc cents
per $1,000 of valuation. Probably the av-
erage home owner in Boise pays taxes on
less than $4,000, but at that figure his addi-
tional expense for interest on these bonds
would be u cents year!
There can be no objection to the bonds
on account Of the extra cost, when many
dollars will come to every taxpayer as the
result Of the work they will accomplish.
The capitol will be completed if these
bonds carry.
If they do not carry the capitol will not
be completed.
Completion of the capitol means mil
lion more in building here that will not be
expended if the bonds are defeated and
the capitol wings shooed away.
It ought to be made unanimous.

''Successful Termination"

N recognizing that state of war ex-

II perial German government, congress,
on that memorable April 6, 1917, closed
it's resolution with the following solemn
pledge:
"And to bring the conflict to a successful termin-
ation all the resources of the country hereby
pledged by the congress of the United States"
Congress was pledging not only itself
to the successful prosecution Of the war;
it was dedicating every individual Amer
lean to a full share in the burden of the
war and in the honor and glory which
would be America s when the conflict end
ed in victory for the allied powers.
The war is over. It has been brought to
successful termination"
But certain obligations entailed in bring
ing it to a successful termination still re.
rnain.
Patriotic, national and civic duty de.
mands that these obligations be met at
once, and unanimously, by the American
people. Our armed sea and land forces
met their obligations fully, unanimously
and with good measure
One of the biggest obligations now con-
fronting Americans is the full subscription
