NATIONAL EDUCATOR
OFFERS TRIBUTE TO
COLLEGE OF IDAHO
DR.. Louis E. Holden in Talk to
University Club Praises
President Boone and Urges
Increase of Endowment.

A history of what colleges have done
toward education and citizenship in
America, coupled with a plea to citi-
zens of Idaho TO give liberal support
to their Christian colleges, was given to
members of the University club at
their fortnightly meeting in the Com
mercial club rooms saturday night.
The speaker was DR. Louis f. Holden
of New York City, chairman of the
General education board of the Pres
byterian church.
Doctor Holden is visiting Idaho to
assist the College of Idaho in building
its endowment fund up to the 100000
mark He paid high tribute to the vet
eran president of the Caldwell institu
ton, and thanked the people of Boise
for their appreciation of Doctor
Boones work
COLLEGE MANS TYPE.
Boise is to be congratulated" said
he. in that nearly every member of the
learned professions in the city has sub
scribed toward the College of Idaho
endowment fund. There is now a fine
opportunity for the rest to join"
Allen Is. Eaton, chairman of the
clubs program committee, presided at
the meeting and introduced the speak
err Doctor Holden was a member of
the faculty of Beloit college, Beloit,
Wis. Later he was president of the
university of Wooster in Ohio, and in
the 10 years of his incumoency he was
instrumental in increasing that schools
endowment from $l56,000 to more than
! 81, 500 900.
COLLEGES AS TAX SAVERS
| In the course of his informal talk
last night on the topic, "The Problem
of the American College," Doctor Hol-
den said in part:
! 1T is only good judgment on the part
! of citizens of Idaho to support and
maintain every Christian college in
| the state. from a financial standpoint,
aside from the great value they have
as builders of character. The high
| type of instructors, of men who give
their life work self sacrificingly to the
state, means more than can be told in
the uplifting of the lives of its men
and women
But IN addition to that the privately
! endowed colleges are the greatest tax
saving educational institutions there
are. If in Ohio all the students were
in the state university, the man worth
a million dollars would pay So, 600 more
every year in taxes for education than
he does now 1t would be very unwise
for the Christian colleges to surrender
their tasks to the state as some urge
A large majority of the men and wo-
men In higher education are in the
privately endowed colleges"
IDAHO SCHOOLS NEEDS
Returning to the subject of the Col
lege of Idaho, Doctor Holden congrat
ulated the college and university men
of Boise that President William j
Boone is just the kind Of man they
would have elected to head the school
if they had chosen him. Ills 80 years
at the college Is sufficient warrant" he
declared, for every college man in the
state to back him with every bit OF
enthusiasm he has and every cent In
his purse"

first ones of value ever made OF the
city's wagon scales, it is claimed. The
6000-pound weight permits of a closer
adjustment than the 50-pound testing
weight sometimes used, 1t is said.
It IS over the wagon scales that
farmers sell much of their products and
city dwellers buy their coal and other
weight commodities The corrections
made will more than pay for the time
of the experts in the savings that viii
result to users of the scales, the weight
losses of which aggregate in the course
of a year huge sum.
WORK is HAMPERED.
The testing work is considerably
hampered in the state by lack of appro-
priation. II. A. Lyon, director of the
farm markets bureau, said yesterday
afternoon. The deputy sealer is being
paid out of the farm markets appro-
priation. Six men could be used all the
time If funds were available. Mr.. Lyons
said.
The Boise wagon scales condemned
were: Citizens Coal & Seed company,
one of three owned by Boise Cold Stor-
! age company, one at fairgrounds owned
4 by Union Seed 81 Fuel conf any, and
one owned by Central Coal q Seed
company.

GERMANS POVERTY
PLEA DISPROVED
Easily Pay 5000, 900, 900 a
Year, Banker Says.

LONDON, Feb. 2l.-Herbert Gibbs,
banker. in an address here to-day de-
clared that having made a special study
of the subject he was able to say that
the savings OF Germany were very great.
Germany could easily pay $4,000, 600, 900
yearly, the burden Of which, he asserted,
would fall not only on the wage earners
OF Germany but on the people who had
made the war. He believed that an al
lied commission should sit at Berlin to
receive the money in marks at the gold
rate OF exchange.
1t was quite possible, Mr.. Gibbs said,
that for tire first three or four years Ger
many would find great difficulty In pay
ing. owing to her economic and political
condition. and he suggested that these
yearly amounts should at first be re.
ceived in merchant ships to the value
of Se,5oo. 100000 and from the earnings
. OF the railways
