That the report sent from Boise as
to the amount appropriated for the
University of Idaho ($1, ,123,992) is
misleading is the statement of Pres
| ident Lnidley and Dean Iddings, head
of the university and the agricultural
college, respectively and they ask that
the facts be given. This total, re-
ported from Boise as having been ap-
propriated by the legislature, includes
$406 900 that comes from the federal
government and with which the leg
islature has nothing to do. The mon
ey is paid direct to the university from
the Morrill,, Hatch and Adams funds;
from the agricultural college, uni
versity and school of science funds
derived from the lands given to the
university by the federal government
and from the incomes from these
funds which are invested in various
ways In addition to the $406,OOO
thus derived, $4,000 of the total
amount for which credit was given
the legislature, comes from the in
come from the five college farms in
this state.
''The report is misleading and gives
the impression that the university gets
81 1,123,000 from the state Of Idaho, and
the average person imagines this
comes by taxation and that the grand
total as reported from Boise is an
added burden to the taxes collected
from the people of the state" said
Dean Iddings "We wish the press
would correct this impression and let
the public know that the state is CIV
ing but little more than half of the
total reported from Boise and that al
large portion of this is not spent in
Moscow but in other parts of the
state."
Mr.. E. H. Lindley, president Of the
said:
"The board of education, through
the commissioner, asked $685., 900 from
The legislature. Of this sum $31S,000

STATION TELLS
RESULT OF ITS WHEAT TESTS

ASbulletin of more than ordinary in
terest to the farmers of northern Ida
no and adjacent country in Washing
ton, has been prepared by the ag-
ricultural experiment station of the
University of Idaho in its annual re-
port that is now being issued. The
bulletin deals with the work of ex-
perimentation on various grains and
Che results obtained despite one of
the most unfavorable seasons since
the experiment station was founded.
The report will be of value to farmers
in showing them what varieties of
crops do best in this soil and climate.
That part of the report dealing with
Grains is regarded as especially time
ly. Under the title of "Varietal tests
of small grains" the report says:
turkey Red wheat, as in several
previous years, demonstrated its high
Yielding ability. Kharkov, variety
similar to Turkey Red, and Red Rus
sian also gave satisfactory yields. A
plot of fall sown Marquis came
through the winter in fine condition
and produced a good yield of grain
Of excellent quality" (This informa-
ton will be of value to farmers as

grave doubt about it standing the win
ter. The writer had. very good
yield of fall sown Marquis wheat in
Oregon last year.
"Several strains of beardless Tur-
key Red gave good yields of high
quality grain" The greatest objec-
ton to Turkey Red among the farm
ers of the Inland Empire is because
of the boards and the station is well
pleased with the success in producing
Turkey Red wheat without this obi
jectionable feature In the spring
wheat tests good results were obtain
ed with jenkins Club, Palouse Blue
stem, Early Baart and Marquis, these
varieties seeming to give the best re-
suits. early Baart has performed
very well in this section" says the re-
port, producing grain of excellent,
quality, the chief objection to the va
riety among farmers being the pres
snce of the long stiff heards. The
four varieties mentioned seem the
most promising for northern Idaho
and ali can be recommended for this
section"

II Industrial conditions in all the

not restored-the consumption of cot
ton will be substantially less than pre-
war average requirements" said the
statement. "With practically complete
restoration, cotton consumption may
well be expected to equal the normal
of pre-war times, on account OF the
present shortage of cotton goods in va
rious countries. The economies which
the peoples of Europe must practice
for some years to come must be con-

AGREE ON FAMINE RELIEF
America-Senate Amendments
Accepted by House.

Washington.-An agreement on the
administration bill appropriating $780,.
100000 for European famine relief was
reached by the senate and house con-
ferenees. The conference report was
to be acted upon first by the house.
No material changes were made in
the bill by the conferees. All of the
senate amendments, with some minor
changes in phraseology, were adopted,
including that by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Republican, providing
that wheat donated should be bought
as far as practicable in America.
Prohibition, added by the senate,
against distribution of food to enemy
peoples also was approved by the con-
ferees, but the provision was redraft-
ed so as to insure that Armenia and
other friendly peoples in enemy terri
tory might become the subjects of re-
lief.

500 AGENTS READY TO WORK
United States Revenue Department
Plans Enforcement of Liquor Law
After July 1st.

Washington. Means of enforcing
prohibition after July l are under con-
sideration by officials of the Depart
ment of Justice and the internal reve-
nue. bureau, but steps to create spe-
cial enforcement agency will not be
taken until congress has had time to
act on pending legislation giving this
function to TIE revenue bureau.
This bureau now has about 800
agents who could be assigned to liq-
uor violation detection, including 300
now engaged partially in running down
illicit liquor distillers. Officials be-
lieve, however, that this force would
have to be enlarged by several times
to effectually enforce nationwide pro-
hibition. The department of justice
also stands ready to assign many of its
secret agents to prohibition enforce
ment, if this is deemed necessary.

BILL MAY HIT EVERYONE
Over a Million People May Have
To Pay Tax On Incomes--Al
Must Make Returns.
Sworn Statement of Taxpayer Must
Include Every Character of In
Including Earnings of Chill
dren Under 18 Years

Washington. 1t is estimated that
the forthcoming income tax drive for
the raising of the necessary national
revenue will touch nearly every work
ing man and woman, merchant, shop
keeper and farmer.
The opinion prevails that more than
million people will have to pay in
come taxes during the current year
upon their 1918 earnings. Not only did
the traders-the little fellows-make
larger profits in 1918 than they ever
made before, but wage earners by the
hundreds of thousands put themselves
into. the income tax paying class.
"All signs indicate that the income
tax this year will reach nearly every
working man and woman and nearly
every merchant, shopkeeper and farm
er," said an official last week.
Not all will have to pay taxes, but
nearly all will be obliged to make a
sworn statement of the years income" "
Here are the things, according to
this official, each taxpayer must do:
Ascertain accurately his gross in
come from all sources-salary or
wages, including overtime pay and any
bonus received as additional compen-
sation. A married person having chill
dren under IS who are working should
include the earnings of such children.
"If he sold any property at profit
the gain must be computed and in
cluded in gross income. If he rented
any property to other persons the to-
tai rents received in the year must be
ascertained, and from that figure a
deduction may be taken for taxes paid
on rented property, the necessary mi
nor repairs, fire insurance, any inter
est he may have paid on mortgage
and a reasonable allowance for an
nual wear and tear of the rented prop
erty. The balance Is included in gross

Washington. Wounded American
soldiers remaining in hospitals num-
bers approximately 104 1000, Col. w. H.
Smith of the surgeon generals office
told the senate committee conducting
an inquiry of hospital facilities and
construction. Many of these wounded,
he said, will not be brought home until
they recover.
In the hospitals of this country, Col.
Smith said, there are now about 1900
vacant beds which can be placed in
use as additional wounded and sick are
returned.
Brig.-Gen. Marshall, chief of the con-
struction division of the quartermaster
corps, testifying in relation to the re-
lection of the plan to build a $3,250,-
600 hospital at Chicago, said the prof.
ect was disapproved by Assistant Sec
retary Of War Crowell over the recon-
mendation of the medical authorities.
Brig. g.-Gen. John w. Heavey, acting
chief Of the military bureau, recon-
mended to the house military affairs
committee that rider be included in
the army appropriation bill authorizing
the secretary of war to turn over to
the National Guard from the surplus
supplies Of the regular army, equip
ment valued at $135,0O0,000.
Gen. Heavey said the general staff
was in favor of transferring the sup
plies, but wars without authority. He
explained that if this equipment were
&lrned over the cost would be reduced
to S55,000,000.
Gen. Heavey urged that the National
Guard be maintained in the same form
as it was before the United States en-
tered the war and that the increases
in its strength authorized by the act Of
June 3, 1919, be carried out.
"The value to the country during the
war of the national guardsmen cannot
be overestimated," he said. "At the
time men were needed most the Ma
tional Guard provided force of 367,-
900 men and 1923 officers. They have
done magnificent work, comparing
most favorably with the forces of any
other nation. The efficiency of the of
ficers was proven by the fact that of
the entire number only 952 were dis
charged for inefficiency.
"The militia bureau strongly advo-
Gates universal military training, but
believes it should be carried out in
connection with the National Guard" ;"
The act of June 3. 1916, provided for
16 divisions of total strength of 400,-
S64 men, Gen. Harvey said, but be-
cause of the war the terms of the act
were not carried out.

"Made in Germany"

A correspondent just back from
The Hague tells me, says writer
in Westminster England Gazette,
that an exhibition has just been
held there of work done in Germany
by our men who have been trans
ferred to Holland. The prisoners have
evidently shown wonderful ingenuity
In gathering materials for their handi-
work. colonel, who exhibited Sc
ries of books tastefully bound in blue
and white, had obtained his binding
materials from cardboard packages In
his parcels. There was considerable
show of knitted goods, for which the
wool was secured by pulling down"
old socks. Another curious exhibit
was tiny model of motor chassis
made from meat tins. door hinges, and
such things, of which the rubber tires
were made from the handle of ten
mis- racket. Even German bread had
been pressed into service, as pair
of carved and painted sabots was pro-
duced from a loaf. 1t is to be hoped
that London will soon have an oppor-
tunity of seeing this evidence of the
resource and courage with which our
men have faced the terrible captivity
