A sidewalk should be laid to the
city park this spring, and the park
improved and beautified as much as
possible, and this will have our early
attention.
The city library will be main

Changes and improvement in the
police department are needed, and
this will be one of the first orders

CITIZENS TICKET
CANDIDATES SPEAK
Statement of Things
They Purpose Doing
if Elected
TO THE PUBLIC

Since the nominating convention,
which was held on April Z, we, the
undersigned, candidates on the Pro-
gressive Citizens Ticket, have met
together and discussed matters
which we deem to be of general in
terest to the people of Blackfoot, and
in order that our position on the
various matters may be clearly un-
derstood we make this public de-
claration.
An era of great prosperity is open
ing up for this whole valley, but
before Blackfoot can take on the
growth to which it is entitled by
season of it's favorable location, it
must be provided with larger and
better water system, and if the Pro-
gressive Citizens ticket is elected
nothing will be left undone to pro-
vide for this city water system
which will be in all respects adequate
not only for our present need, but
to meet the growth that is surely
coming.
We shall at the earliest possible
date make necessary extensions of
the sewer lines.
1t Is our desire that Blackfoot
have one of the best fire departments
in the state. The material is here
for that purpose, and we shall see
to it that the fire department is
placed at once in the highest state
of efficiency and kept that way.
The cheapest and best way Of
keeping the paved streets clean and
the dirt streets free of dust is to
use one, or if need be, two, motor
driven street flushers and sprinklers.
This would save the expense of hand
sweeping the pavement, and would
do away with the rickety wagons
now in use for sprinkling, and would
undoubtedly lessen the springling
tax.
Blackfoot's streets outside the
paved districts are all in need of
grading up and improving, and we
favor the employment of an expert
enced street commissioner who will
put the streets in all parts of the
city in good condition just as fast
as the funds on hand will permit,
hard-surfacing such Of the streets
as lead from the present paved dis
trict to the main county highways.
We shall strictly enforce all ordin-
ances against public nuisances of
different kinds, such as weeds, trash,
and unsanitaary conditions.
The city is in need of sidewalk ex-
tensions, and these will be made in
all parts of the city.
Work has already been started
looking to the opening of a direct
road to the cemetery on the east side
of the track, thru the railroad COM

NEW LOAN TO
Be $4,500,000,000
Terms of Victory Loan
Issue Announced by
Secretary Glass
WILL BE LAST LOAN

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Terms
of the Victory loan were announced
today by Secretary Glass They are:
Amount $4,000, 100000, over
subscriptions to be rejected.
Interest 4 ga per cent for par
TALLY tax-exempt notes, convertible
into 8 ga per cent notes wholly
tax-eXempt.
Maturity, four years, with the
treasury reserving the privilege Of
redeeming the notes in three years.
The 3 ga per cent notes, to be
issued later, also may be converted
subsequently back into ga per
cent notes.
The 4 ga per cent securities are
to be exempt from state and local
taxation, excepting estate and inheri-
tance taxes and from normal rates
of federal income taxes, the 3 3-4
per cent securities are exempt from
all federal, state and local taxes ex-
cept estate and inheritance taxes.
The size of the loan was much
smaller than had been anticipated by
most financial observers, who looked
for an issue of about $4,000, ,OOO,-
900, particularly in view Of Secretary
Glass's past statements that the
loan would be five or six billions.
This will be the last liberty loan
Secretary Glass explained, altho
there will be other issues of govern
mental securities to finance belated
war expenses. These will not be
foated by popular campaigns.
None of the past issues of libfrty
bonds are convertible into Victory
loan notes, and there are no specific
provisions in the terms of the VIC
tory issue serving directly to main
tain market prices on past issues.

TWIN FALLS WANTS
TO GO FIRST OVER TOP

BOISE, Idaho.-It develops that
there is keen rivalry between
counties as to which will be the first
to report it's quota of the Victory
loan raised. 1t is known that Twin
Falls county has ambitions to gain
the credit for being the first over
the top. Several other counties,
however, are determined that that
ambitious locality shall not beat
them and are laying plans accord
ingly. Twin Falls county boasts a
most active organization and it is
reported that it's quota will be sub
scribed voluntarily the first day Of
the campaign, April 81, if the plans
of the Twin Falls managers shall be
carried out.

Percentage SS.7.
1t is said that some people who
did not read the instructions on the
ballot voted against the bonds with
out knowing it. Rose precinct
thought all day that it was voting
100 per cent pure, but when the
votes were counted, it was found that
they had two in OPPOSITION to it..
Shelley voted 100 per cent pure
all day and thought they were clos
ing as winners of the whole string
of prizes for being the biggest and
best, but just at closing time, three
people opposed to bonds, arrived and
voted. That killed all their pros
poets for prizes and threw them to
Riverside.
Early in the campaign it was
rather expected that Taber, being out
to itself might not support the
bonds, but Taber voted 100 per cent
for bonds, and said that if they did
not get any of the good roads this
time, their turn would come sooner
or later. An effort will be made to
get gang of convicts some time in
the summer, to clear out most of the
rocks on the Taber-Arco road from
end to end.
The county commissioners are
making the official count of votes,
and will leave soon for tour of in
spection in Western Idaho and in
Oregon, to learn all they can about
making roads with gravel crown.
They want to let some contracts as
soon as possible, for putting sections

MAYOR PR0CLAIMS
A HALF HOLIDAY
Wagons to Haul Piled
Rubbish From Streets
and Alley Ways
BOYS ARE TO HELP

Wednesday afternoon, April 16
will be observed as Blackfoot's civic
housecleaning time, and Mayor
Stephens has issued a proclamation
declaring a half holiday on that oc.
casiOn.
Clean up day means the removal
of all unsightly accumulations. tin
cans, etc., from streets and alleys
in both the business and residence
sections, and the burning of weeds,
tumble weeds and leaves and the
picking up of rocks and stones from
the streets adjacent to your own
premises.
All the rubbish must be placed in
it can be quickly removed to the
wagons. Please don't place your
/ trash loosely in pile expecting the
teamsters to handle it in that shape.
This would consume too much valu-
able time and each property owner
certainly will be sufficiently inter-
ested in Blackfoots welfare to cheer
fully cooperate with us to that ex-
tent. Better still, hire a dray and
send your rubbish to the city dump
at your own expense. Don't wait
until Wednesday to clean up, do it
today.
Superintendent Vincent is heartily
cooperating with the civic club and
city council in creating enthusiasm
among the school children in clean
up day. Essays and compositions
will be written in the English classes
in all grades on civic improvement,
beautifying home premises, and
practical suggestions as to cleaning
streets and alleys etc. AS scout
master, Mr.. Vincent will organize
the boy scouts into squads and as
sign certain number to each ward
to locate trash piles and help load
the wagons so that no valuable time
will be lost.
One half day of concentrated ef-
fort will accomplish wonders and
from the cordial support and Co
operation offered the movement by
all the progressive citizens Of our
town, its success Is assured. In
spectors will thoroly inspect each
ward during the afternoon and any
ton will be reported to the police
department who have powers to
enforce the law with penalty at
tached.
Why should we have clean up
day? Principally because civic pride
demands sanitary streets and alleys.
Second. The health of a community
is largely dependant upon sanitation.
Third. A clean town with we'll kept
lawns and beautiful gardens is the
best advertisement place can have
and proves an alluring inducement
to prospective home seekers and in
vestors. And speaking of investors
do you realize that if Pocatello Sc

tion that thousands upon thousands

Ninety Per Cent of Votes Cast Were for Good
Roads With Hard, Lasting Surface to be
Constructed in Bingham County


BY vote of SO or 90 per cent
Bingham county has elected to build
hard-surfaced roads. The senti-
ment in favor of road improvement
was practically unanimous, but some
votes were cast in opposition to the
bonds because those people doubted
whether the money would be ex-
pended without waste or grating.
