STATE FINANCES.

| Governor Davis told northern
Idaho audience last week during the
course of his address made upon his
recent trip there to greet President
Wilson in speaking of the. condition
of state finances as they were in
herited by the present administration
| that:
1--WE were in much the same con-
dition when we went in as is farmer
who takes over farm after his tenant
has skinned it and has to start to put
back what has been taken from it,"
Which is exactly the situation which
confronted Idaho's chief executive
when he took over the reins OF state
government. Democratic and Nom
partisans publications charge Cover
nor Davis with exaggerating con-
ditions for political effect. 1t is need
less to say that there is no other
foundation for their assertions. Upon
that same basis came howls from the
same sources which greeted the an
nouncement that Idaho taxpayers
were to be called Upon for three times
their usual allotment to the state ex-i
chequer.
Idaho this year has undertaken the
most comprehensive program of i'm
provements ever accredited Gem
State administration. Most Of the ex-
pense incurred has to be met from
current tax levies. Taxes must be in
creased to meet those expenditures. &
No Idaho citizen who values the
standard set by his state doubts the
wisdom of any Of the constructive
work being done. II the program is
carried to successful conclusion, tax
payers will gladly pay the bill. Ten
years hence, it is safe to say, the pres
ent administration will stand out
boldly as one which accomplished
meritorious things VI
Those who cry most loudly at the
increase in state taxes will never
point out that the state tax burden is
but small fraction, after all, of the
total which people will be called upon
to pay. In Caldwell, that fraction is
less than one-seventh Increase in
city, county and school assessments
are matters of graver import.
No man objects to paying eighty
cents for each one hundred dollars of
taxable property he owns to support a
worth while commonwealth. Results
count And Governor Davis is get
ting results.

THE SALARIED MAN.

Asking ten million dollars from
Harvard alumni to properly provide
for salaries of professors and instruc-
tors at that educational institution,
persons conducting the drive made the
astonishing assertion that janitors in
Harvard's halls are receiving greater
recompense than many men who have
spent almost life time preparing
themselves to educate American youth.
We are informed that freight engi7
neers under federal administration
draw wages exceeding that of Texas
governor by fifty-nine dollars a
month. With that chief executive may
be included eleven other governors of
various states.
These are not exceptions. This
identical situation prevails wherever
one cares to conduct Investigations.
Salaried men and women, essentials in
the cogwheels of American business
and, whose training is a matter of
years, are the real sufferers in the
present nation wide struggle to make
ends meet. Like public utilities not
touched by government ownership,
with other things sky1arking in a
frenzied financial race, the profession
al class of America stands today on
virtually pre-war basis.
Thoughtful employers of salaried
employees are giving this problem
careful consideration. Overcoming
probably accounts primarily for the
present condition. More clerks, book
keepers, accountants, and office assist
ants should be in overalls. But just
as truly the. welfare of America de-
mands that acute discomfort be kept
from that class. Unless something is
done voluntarily to aid this class Of
American citizenry in
keeping pace with present reasonable
living demands, America will some
day see a group of organized salaried
men and women for self betterment.

LIVING COSTS.

Living costs, subjected to scrutiny,
investigation and other devious gov
ernmental probes, have not decreased
materially. Statistics on the results Of
nation wide agitation directed at
high prices vary. Wholesale QUOTA
tons undoubtedly have fallen some
what. But thus far, it is equally true,
has no effect been apparent to the
consumer.
Probably the greatest source of salts
faction and hope for the future lies 10
the undeniable fact that prices seem
to hive reached their peak. For six
weeks, no marked advance in the price
OF essentials has taken place. Opti-
mists see declining price scale ahead
Certainly the fundamental law of
supply and demand has not operated
10 stay the skyrocketing trend of
prices. Strikes, actual and threatened,
have not enhanced production. The
world continues to clamor for goods.
Such influence as the federal probe
OF the H. c. L. bugbear has so far
exercised has been entirely artificial.
1t will take more than the disposition
OF surplus stocks of army goods to
swing the pendulum in the direction
at an oversuppiy and resultant lower
prices
More tangible, perhaps, has been
the action Of the federal officials In
hssshly handling food hoarders.
Profiteers have been frightened for

men. Some time, we hope, and tina,
before long, some one will devise q
satisfactory means of handling dis
putes between labor and capital with
out costing the country Ne untold in
convenience, evaporation and actual
suffering which every walkout of this
magnitude involves. And this ignores
the cost in personal hardship to the
families of the men who are asking
their rights through such forcible
means.
Living costs are at an unprecedented
height. Economists agree that only
enormously increased production con-
tinued over considerable period can
fneasureably reduce them. Europe is
clamoring for steel American de-
mends are far above the capacity Of
our plants to provide. And now be-
cause labor and employer cannot
agree, these conditions promise to be-
come even more acute Both sides, we
are told, are adamantine. A long
bitter fight is promised.

Australia tried compulsory arbitra-

WHAT OF THE RAILROADS?

About thirty plans" have been sub
mitted to the federal government for
the disposition of the American rail-
road situation. So far, nothing tan
gible has come Of any of them. Some
have considerable merit; others, such
as the Plumb plan, have been bitterly
attacked. The latest suggestion and
the one most discussed now is the
Cummings proposal lraughted and
submitted for consideration by Sena-
tor Homer S. Cummings of Iowa.
Panalleling as it does, in the main,
the Plumb plan with the radical So
cialistic features eliminated, the Cum
mings proposal has at least two
inherent weaknesses. One is the fail
ure to provide for extensions of the
present railroad system. And this is
of vital interest to southern Idaho
whose future clearly. indicates the
necessity for additional transporta-
ton facilities. Snake river valley
shortly will require additional
tonnage; the Cummings proposal does
not provide for it.
In the second place, Senator Cum
Amings incorporates clause which
ne has persuaded himself will
eliminate strikes. Transportation tie
ups with labor the cause are to have
no place in the new order. LegisTa-
ton, he proposes, will make it illegal.
Violations result in heavy penalties.
Which is foolishness. Australia has
something of that system. Labor
difficulties there must be arbitrated
and both parties are legally bound to
comply with the settlement made by

THE HOUSING PROBLEM

Scarcely day passes that someone
does not call at The Tribune office to
inquire if we have knowledge of any
house in Caldwell that might be
rented. Sometimes they wish to lease
more frequently to rent for shorter
periods. And invariably they are
turned away with the information that
probably not house is available in
the entire city to meet their particular
demands. Of those looking for places
to i've. some buy. Others, who can
not afford to do so, leave.
One of the urgent needs Of Caldwell
today is more houses, more places for
people to live. In spite Of the rapid
growth of the residential district and
the completion during the past SUM
nler of many houses, the shortage re-
mains acute. Builders probably can
not be censured for feeling an unwill-
ingness to erect houses in lieu of the
present high cost Of labor and build
ing materials. particularly lumber,
with the end in view of leasing or
renting the newly completed prop
erty. Only exorbitant and prohibitive
rentals would compensate owners Of
such property for constructing the.
houses. Deterioration is particularly
high on property put to such use. Too
many more lucrative investments
without these inherent weaknesses.
are available to permit enticing capital
into the construction of residences to
lease or rent.
Persons who contemplate the cree
ton Of q residence for their own use
are somewhat hesitant about doing so.
Many others, in spite of the apparent
unfavorshie time for such work, have
proceeded without regard for the
heavy overhead involved in labor and
materials. So far, those persons have
nothing to regret for their action
Probably materials and labor viii not
reaeh old time levels again for many
years, If they ever do.
While people hesitate to spend
three thousand dollars for a house
that they could have erected for two
thousand not long ago, those who are
doing so have little fear for the fu-
ture. Contractors who are erecting
houses are experiencing no difficulty
y dlsposing Of them at prices which
should provide reasonable profit In
iact, the demand for Houses still far
exceeds the supply. Every new family,
every new Caldwell home, adds to the
voinme Of local business, makes Cald-
wen a more hospitabie city. While
those persons who are erecting houses
are not public benefactors" because,
q sourse, they are looking to their
own interests, they nevertheless de-
serve the commentator of the popu-
Iace at large for aiding the growth Of
Caldwell. And every resident who
erects new residence. thus liberating
an old one. serves m the same capac-
ity.
Caldwell needs more houses for
homes.
