her salary is paid out Of the proceeds Of a second

women of the community This shop is patronzed
by the poorer people of Jamaica and has proved

One day shabbily dressed woman walked into
the shop and looked around. She saw two Holland
shades on the counter and paid three cents apiece
for them The woman who waited her was
very interested and could not imagine what she
wanted the shades for, when she was evidently in

THE PACKER INVESTIGATION

Probably never in the history Of the
United States has the general public
and the press united upon considera-
fion of strictly domestic policy as
they have in applauding the action OF
the Federal Trade Commission in re
porting the activities of the five pack
ers who are charged with almost
despotically controlling the prices OF
American food stuffs.
To the credit OF the packers it must
be said that they have offered to place
before the investigating commission
all information regarding the extent
and profits OF their business that may
be desired. But the charge which MIR.
Swift made last week that the Federal
Trade Commissions report was made
in such form as to constitute an I'M
called for persecution of them will not
popularize their cause in the eyes of
the American public.
A cursory examination OF the
charges made against them would in
dictate that the American public is vir-
tually eating from the hand of the
packers. Their contention that meats
are maintained at the lowest possible
cost to the consuming public takes no
account of the evident fact that the
packing industries have come to con-
troll almost as extensively the market
ing quotations on butter, eggs and
other commodities which the public
might utilize as cheaper substitutes for
meat.
The question in the minds OF the in
curing American consumers is that
relating to an explanation to the con-
tinued skyward climb OF the cost OF all
articles of food, clothing and conven-
fence. There is no food shortage in
the United States. Practically every
ordinary commodity is present in
abundance. Why then should living
continually increase in direct contra.
diction of these facts which are or
dinarly supposed to exercise some in
fluence upon cost?
If the packers are in any wise re
sponsible the public wants to know it
Certainly their business will never b.
free from faint or question until every
means has been exhausted to provld,
the public with information settm:
aside the popular belief that they con
stitute food trust and as such arc
real menace TO American livelihood.

CLEAN HOUSE FIRST

Probably no single thing that the
present congress is endeavoring to &C
complish comes so near every Ameri-
can citizen as the present probe OF the
factors involved in determining the
present high cost of living. But ex-
actly what will be accomplished is not
clear. Investigation may inform the
general public of some of the under
lying causes of the APPARENTLY unwar-
ranted continual increase in essential
commodities but it is somewhat ques-
tionable whether it will relieve the
situation.
Those of the American public who
are most vitality interested in the probe
oftimes feel that congressional COM
mittee IS scarcely the organization to
attack the problem. And there can
be little question that total inability
of the railroad administration under
congressional direction to cope with
the financial phase of that business has
materially increased skepticism OF the
American public to place confidence in
government proposals to foster econo-
| mics. The fact that in one breath
congress deplores rapidly increasing
living costs and in the next talks
glibly of the necessity OF increasing
wages to railroad shop employees
$S0O,000,0O0, scarcely seem compatible,
Government operating expenses
continue at an unheard of level. While
material reductions have occurred and
Republican congressman are busily en-
gagged endeavoring to convince the tax
payer that really enormous sums have
been saved, it would still appear that
there is plenty of opportunity for con-
gress if it seriously contemplates MAX
ing inroads into the high cost of living
to begin operations by setting an ex-
ample az Washington. Certainly there
is no better place to begin cleaning
house than at home Just as truly
TOO, the public will watch the investiga
tons 10 discover, if possible, exactly
what can be accomplished and com
pare it with what is accomplished.

of the things he undertook. When the
armistice was signed, Pershing was
prepared for the quick reception of adj
ditional millions of men from America
and war continued unremittingly for
years. Railroads, highways, docks,
immense ordnance and storage dcpots
and motor transport facilities were
provided for a war of years duration.
Dominating this activity, dictator
of the destinies of the A. E. F., was
John Pershing. 1t took Pershing a
year in France to get ready, it took
American troops four months to win
the war after he was ready. And
American soldiers who can overlook
trivial personal grievances and incon-
veniences from which no military Or
CARNATIONS could possibly be exempt
recognize that Pershing is worthy the
American heritage of being able to
produce the man for any job.

OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBOR.

While we are thinking of our recent
ly acquired European diplomatic en-
tanglements, it must not be forgotten
that the most important single foreign
problem confronting the United States
today is that of our next door neigh
Dor, Mexico just how long the
United States proposes to permit the
murder of American citizens and con-
tinued threats of the confiscation of
American owned property in that
revolution torn country is problemati-
cal. Indications now point unmistak-
ably to an exhaustion of even our Job
like patience. From policy of in
effectual "watchful waiting" we
passed to one of "watchful prepared
ness" and it is now no secret that the
early possibility exists for military oc-
cupation Of Mexico.
The United States is reluctant to
occupy Mexico, to compel obedience
and behavior from that refractory ma
ton and temporarily remove her from
the list of strictly self governed ma
tons. But sooner or later it must be
done If the United States doesn't
England will And if we value the
Monroe doctrine, we must.
We don't need additional provoca
ton. Recently compiled reports o
American citizens murdered during
the past eight years is surely enough
No other nation Of respectable,
would have exhibited the tolerance
that the United States has done. Blu
we have waited long enough to know
that action is imperative.

\. c. |. TO GET JOLT
FROM IDAHO SOURCES
STATE AUTHORITIES WILL
ASSIST IN FORCING
PRICES DOWNWARD.

BOISE-Old H. c. L. is due for a
jolt in Idaho, if anything can be done.
The trouble seems to be that the
old fellow does not come especially
under Idaho Jurisdiction. He is more
of national character and evidently
will have to be handled by national
authorities.
Meantime, there is little question
that everything possible will be done
by the Idaho authorities to cooperate
with the big policeman in rounding
up the villain.
Shortly after the news came from
Washington of a belated movement
to give the people relief announce
ment was made from the office of
Governor Davis that this state would
be in the hunt. No details were given
but it goes without saying that the
Idaho governor will do everything in
his power to assist in forcing prices
down.
The situation presents a two-edged
sword, however for the present
prices are to a degree based on the
, cost of production, and it is recog-
nized that care must be exercised not
to go SO far in jealous action as to
interfere with legitimately conducted
business, farming and labor. Illigiti-
mate-the rang profiteering--that is
the target that may alone be safely
shot at.
Let's Have More Constructiveness.
! Promise of constructive official &C
! ton is always fullsome during a po-
litical campaign but often forgotten
in the routine of office transactions
Idaho presents opportunity for gen
uine constructiveness. There is a
necessity for road building material
There are loads of it in this state
1t is pointed out that Idaho ought tc
own it or control it, in any event
having a finger in the pie, to secure
material in abundance and cheaply
The manufacture of cement is moi
without the range of possibilities.
The coal situation is another ave-
nue. for official constructive thought
and action. The demand for coal will
increase and the price will hardly &c
down. The suggestion does not seen
to be out of places that Idaho, OF
some part of it, take over coal field:
in the interest of the public.
These are worth while problems foi
all classes. Apparently, however, they
versies over things that are already
cheap and which are not universally
used, especially in farming commune
ties. such as electric power.

CALDWELL BAND WILL
GIVE ANOTHER DANCE
Second Function of Series to Be at
Armory Hall August 81; First
Event Pleases.

The second of a series of dances
given by the Caldwell municipal band
for the purpose of putting that organi-
cation upon its feet financially will be
given at the loyal Armory hall August
u. AS at the dance given there the
last Wednesday in July, the band will
provide music for the affair.
General satisfaction was expressed
by the large crowd who attended the
first of the series with the music which
was provided Only late popular dance
music was used. That the Caldwell
band, in addition to being able to
pleace large crowds with concerts, is
| equally able to supply music for
| lighter occasions was evidenced by the
! fact that the demands were made upon
the organization for five and sixe en-
cores before dancers were satisfied.
| Considerable money was realized
from the function which will be USED
by the band to pay its share for the
services of Director Joseph Smith anG
for other incidental expenses. The
determination was reached after Con-
siderable discussion that dances would
be more preferable method of raising
| funds than by asking local business
men to subscribe to the support Of the
organization. Dances will be giver
every month until further notice

PEDESTRIAN ROAD HOGS

Since the automobile and trucks are
with us to stay and especially since
they are now with us in such great
numbers it should be the duty of all
people on foot to extend the same
courtesy to vehicle drivers as they
expect in return, not only for the
benefit of the public but for tneir own
welfare. People on foot are too reck-
less in crossing the streets. believe
the greater number OF people N cross
ing our streets do so without ever
looking to see if vehicle is APP: oach-
ing. This is unfair to the driver OF
the approaching vehicle as well as an
Injustice to the pedestrian.
There is one other thing THAI should
be spoken OF, that is what | would
term the pedestrian road hog. BY this
street or alley and defiantly looks up
at the vehicle driver and says run
into me if you dare" This scents &c
be a disease among certain classes oil
people and contagious to a certaia
extent. In larger cities where traffic
is heavier the pedestrian must observe
and it would seen. thai thi,
law should be obserscI in Caldwell
In conclusion it might be said
that the driver of vehicle does moi
want to run into or harm pedestrian
any more than the one on foot woulc
like to be run over. A little more at.
| tention should be paid to our traits
rules. Fewer accidents would happen
1t would also help to eliminate a lot
of hard feeling between the vehicl:
driver and the pedestrian.

JOHN PERSHING, PIONEER

General John ]. Pershing is leaving
France where he virtually reigned for
two years dictator of the lives and
dsstinies of the finest of American
citizenship. Men who shared some
portion, however small, of the work of
the A. E. F. and who have the happy
faculty of formulating their own opin-
ion, believe that Pershing did we'll.
Something of a craze to expose
every weak department of the army
work in France seems the latest d.
version of the American press. Some
of the criticism is undoubtedly whole
some and the American public is cn-
titled not only to know the facts bur
they should demand that responsibility
be fixed where il belongs and justice
melted out to those discovered TO be
criminal offenders.
But in the maze OF investigation,
charge and counter charge, it is we'll
TO think of the enormous problems OF
transportation. organization, railroad
construction and allied military trou-
bles which were quietly and efficiently
disposed of without so much as a
passing comment through American
newspapers and magazines. Back OF
all this work was General Pershing
Perhaps nowhere in this history of the
world has single military leader been
confronted with the magnitude OF
devious problems as was General Per
shing. And there was nothing hasty,
nothing flimsy or half done among all
