ToNIGHT's THE NIGHT

Tonight's the night to meet and
discuss the policies that shall grow
ern the town for couple of years.
This paper is sorry that the Repub-
licans want to make It a Republican
affair and bar out the others. This
paper Is sorry thatsa notice is being
presistently published by one Of the
Democratic fellows seeking to keep
people away from all meetings an
nounced to come before the ninth
Of April, the last night that meet
ing could be held and make nomina-
tions.
Now that the mayor and council
have repudiated that notice by an
nouncing the caucuses earlier, it
looks like our Democratic friend
is trying to make a monkey out
of the mayor. OF course he may be
trying his best to get the printer to
kill the notice and not be able to
succeed.

Dear sir: 8 -
With the advent of good roads
the people of Bingham county will
| be able to meet their taxes easier
| because they will save enough mono,
on the repairing of their vehicles
the wear and tear on harness; ths
extra cost of feed for their horses
which is necessary to enable the
poor beasts to pull a load thru the
great depth of mud that now adorns
our highways. The money now ex.
pended for repairs will pay their
taxes and they will have money left
to spend for improvements on the
farm, or otherwise.
Good roads will be cheaper, be-
cause once graded and surfaced with
gravel, they will remain so, and
there will not be the continual ex-
pense of repairing and keeping
them passable. Good roads will les
sen our road tax. ~
Good roads will encourage tourists
t otravel thru our wonderful section
OF scenic Idaho, who in turn will
advertise our resources, which will
bring in more people, more settlers,
who will help reclaim our vast arid
plains. Much of this land yields no
tax to the county at present, because
1t is uninhabited, but if it were re-
claimed and was paying taxes, it
would make the tax burden less on
those now paying it,
Good roads will bring in more
capital from large concerns, which
will develop our county and place
the tax rate less on each individual.
People who live in remote parts
of the county often find it impera-
tive to go to the county seat or
other places on business, and are
often forced to take the train, re-
man over night at great loss Of
time and expense, when If the roads
were good they might go in their car,
attend to their business and return
the same day. Time is valuable to
a farmer in a busy time, and Is u.s.
ually valued in dollars and cents.
besides the financial expense con-
nected with the trip. Undoubtedly
good roads would prevent this.
Better roads would encourage
farmers to raise more crops as good
roads would facilitate the handling
and marketing of them.
Therefore: Good roads would be a
boon to Bingham county. They will
save time; they will save money;
they will decrease the tax per in
1ividual; and last but not least they
will soothe the temper Of the ones
travelling over the roads and cause
hem to be grateful and joyous, and
nave q sweeter appreciation of their
ease on life.
Very sincerely,
MRS. G.. L. ANDREWS.

Unique Plan for
Advertising Idaho
Boxing Bout Will Bring Scores Of
Tourists and Pleasure Seek.
ers to Our State
WORK FOR STATES INTEREST

"a The Pocatello Athletic club raised
$4,000 a minute for about sixteen
minutes last week, as guaranty
fund for financing the proposed Will
lard-Dempsey fist fight at Pocatello
on the Fourth of July. They are
now. gathering up committee of
supreme boosters and shrewd busi-
ness men to take trip to New York
to see If they can land the fight for
Idaho.
This committee will see to it that
Idaho gets great deal of advertis-
ing thru the press of the eastern
states in consequence Of their activ-
tiles, even tho they do not secure a
contract to bring the big bout west.
Those in charge of publicity for the
event have sent out telegram ask
ing the press of the state to get busy
publishing information concerning
Idaho's resources, and especially her
scenery, hunting and fishing and
chances to make homes and invest
ments. Readers of the papers are
requested to re-mail their papers to
frineds after reading them, so they
may fall into the hands of persons
desiring to go somewhere.
Within the hour that this office
received the telegram, we sent off
a score of the photographs of the
rarest Idaho scenery we have ever
seen, to have engravings made for
use in the newspapers. The engrav-
ing will probably cost $50 or $40,
and if our readers fail to mail the
papers out to people in other states,
the greatest opportunity for adver-
tising Idaho will be lost, for the
newspaper has no means of reaching
the homeseekers direct. We con-
slider that we have done our share
when we get the views into the
paper. Men experienced in attract
ing home seekers, tourists, and in
vestors, claim that such pictures are
the most effective advertisement that
can be sent out. They attract a
good class of people, and people of
means, and that Is what Idaho needs.
Bingham county is indebted to
Pocatello for taking the lead in this
great move of getting stream of
people into Idaho at the boxing,
match, and then scattering them out
over the state osee its attractions.
everybody will gather in some of
heir money and some will get hold
If it in hunks.

MANY CONTESTANTS COMPETE FOR PRIZES
WITH LETTERS ABOUT BINGHAM'S ROADS
Each Paragraph Contains Good Thought or
Suggestion From Some Citizen in Bingham !.
County About Improving the Roads
OFFER MANY PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS

r.. Blackfoot, Ida, March 20, 1919
Dear sirs:
Good roads are a great benefit to
all. They enable the farmer to mar
ket his produce at maximum prices
at minimum of expense. Also buy
where his needs are cheaper; save
health and patience producing time
spent in long cold rides over bad
roads in severe weather,
These facts alone should induce
people to vote the bond. But con-
sidering many Others no argument
should be necessary to convince him
they are great benefit.
Such as enabling himself and
family to take outings" visit parks
and health resorts affording them the
recreation needed to make them 100
per cent efficient in their work and
keep the children on the farm by
allowing them the companionship of
town friends and social gatherings.
- Get daily mail on rural routes in
morning instead of afternoon, and in
case of accident or sickness to get
medical help Immediately when de-
lay from bad roads may prove fatal.
With good roads the farmer will
be able to study better farming
methods by attending farm bureau
demonstrations and meetings, raise
larger crops, make improvements, in
crease the value of his land and de-
crease cost of upkeep on cars or
vehicles in itself is great saving.
Good roads are a safety, luxury
and convenience for the travelling
public in a word, they have every
with no inconvenience
for hauling heavy loads as we'll as
Joy riding and will be a lasting
memorial of the people who built
them.
Good roads" should be our
slogan.

Home Seekers Coming
To Our Fertile Valley
Former Blackfoot Man Makes FIRE.
quent Trips e BlsckfootT Bring
Ing Land Buyers Along
STEADY INCREASE m VALUE

Joseph H. Cutler comes up from
Salt Lake about once aSweek or two
with some homeseekers, who want
to buy land. He says the interest
in farm lands in this county, iss keen,
and he has difficulty in finding lands
for all who want to buy. He brought
100000 of investors money the
last two trips in March. :
He sold the Duckworth farm of
140 acres at Wapello earlier in the
winter, and after sixty days he sold
1t again at SO advance over the
first sale. The second buyer con-
sidered that he had made good
buy and when he was at the depot
to take the train back to Salt Lake,
he had an offer of $40 an acre above
what he had paid for it and declined
it. = e E&& f$ 80
Conditions look very much the
same as they did in 1903 when the
sugar factory was located here. The
men who had the nerve to come in
and buy before the factory was as
sured, sold for heavy advances, as
much as 100 per cent in some cases,
and many buyers cleaned up snug
little fortunes in few weeks Some
OF them made as much in three
months that way as the homestead
ers had made in ten or fifteen years
taking up the land and improving it.
Men who have seen good roads
built in their own counties in Utah,
and then saw their lands double in
value in consequence of the good
roads, have sold out and are jump
ing in to take advantage of the rise
that will come swiftly when the bond
election carries and the good roads
are built. They consider that they
are absolutely safe because, if the
bonds carry, the land will be worth
money for the reason that it will
yield greater profit to the man who
farms it. If the bonds should fail to
carry, it will lonly be matter of
few months or. a year or two until |
people will appreciate their mistake |
and they will call another election |
and do all they can to catch up with |
those that take the step now. The |
price of lands will not decline any
while waiting, and the rise will fol- |
low the good roads whenever they |
are built. The man who does not |
believe this theory is true in practice
has good chance to sell out now
and see the purchaser get stung.

Blackfoot, Idaho, Mar. 26, 1919
Editor Idaho Republican,:
Here are a few of my ideas on
good roads.
Good roads are an absolute neces-
sity in this day and age of the world
when the times are improving and
things are done 'on faster scale
than years ago.
Not only to the farmer, but to
everybody else.
If we had paved roads a man
could pay higher taxes because Of
less wear on both automobile and
other vehicles.
A farmer with car could pay
500 year more taxes on repair
bills he would save on tires besides
prolonging the life of his car.
1t is a waste OF money to keep
grading and dragging. t
The road between BlackfOot and
the river bridge has already had
money enough spent on 1t to have
paved it and is in no better condi-
tion now than it was ten years ago.
A farmer would save one half his
hauling expenses If we had good
roads. And the up-keep Of good
