The time has passed for the contemplation of the debt that
Germany owes to civilization. Germany has offended grievously.
Colonies lost, territory taken away, navies abandoned and armies
disbanded, humiliating defeat, disorder and revolution, loss Of
man power, death and desoation, are Germanys reward. But all
these things will not make amends for the needless and useless
sacrifice OF life caused by a war for which there was no provo
cation and but slight excuse, There are losses that cannot be
replaced or paid for. The greatest minds of the world seeking
redress from every possible avenue could find no balm for aching
hearts. 1t S a part of the tragedy Of war that the most precious
possessions are forever gone, We can turn now, however reluc-
family, only to the consideration Of the practical and tangible
issues.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-05-08

The close of the war and formal presentation OF the terms OF
peace find the world involved in a stupendous debt
Prior to the wal the debt Of the United States amounted in
round figures to 81, 0000000. Since the beginning of the war
the debt has increased in the sum of about S23,W0O0OO00, so
that the debt today is about "a times the amount at which it stood
before we began to take an active part in the war about two years
ago. We may assume, when adjustments and settlements have
been made, that the maximum debt for the present war may reach
about $30OO0O0O0. Against this should be placed an asset OF
about $l0OO0W00W Of Understanding obligations OF foreign
overnments. We have a per capita debt OF VA, a per capita
wealth Of 81 1903 and a per capita income OF $500,
The national debt of Great Britain now amounts to over $50
000OO0OO0, of which approximately $33O0O00M has been in
Cured since the beginning of the war on Aug. a, 1914, Great
Britain has a per capita debt of 1872, a per capita wealth Of
$2y60S and a per capita income of 1897,
France has a gross debt of about $36OOOOOO0O, or a per
capita debt of 5000, a per capita wealth of $3.50 and a per capita
income OF $500.
The war cost Germany l6l billion marks, or about $3o!OOO,-
100000. No part Of the expense has been met by taxation, not
even the tax upon her debt. Germany has a per capita debt of
5000, a per capita wealth OF $l,23l and a per capita income of $154,
Thus we find ourselves today almost without the consequent
burden Of war as Compared with other nations.
We went into the war asking only the respect one nation
has the right to require OF another, seeking no territorial con
quest and requiring only that the world shall be made secure
against another such outbreak, and that nations, no matter how
small, shall have the right to live and work out their own dies

IDAHO STATE LANDS
! TO Be SOLD IN JULY
STATE WILL DISPOSE OF $4,000
ACRES OF LAND AT AUCTION
DURING THIS MONTH

Ben Bush, state timber cruiser for
Idaho, announces sales of state lands
aggregating $4,000 acres, in Butte
Bingham and Bonneville counties, be-
ginning July IA and ending July 25.
The state land department has is
sued maps and detailed information
in regard to these lands and this in
formation can be obtained from Mr..
Bush. The lands are located in the
southeastern part of the state in the
upper Snake river valley. The cir
cular describing these lands says in
part:
''The upper Snake river valley, in
which the bulk of the lands offered
for sale are located, is often referred
to as the grain bin of Idaho 1t
might also be called the potato bin,
the sugar bin and the seed pea bin"
Mr.. Bush will be glad to give any
desired about these lands
which are appraised at from $40 to
$50 per acre and will be sold on long
time and easy payments, at low in
.erest. Mr.. Bush's home is in Mos
.ow and he can be communicated with
n regard to this land by addressing
1im here. 1t is likely some excellent
bargains in cheap lands may be OBJ
aimed at these sales. Moscow citi-
sens who bought cheap lands in
southern Idaho a few years ago have
sold for as high as $3.50 per acre and.
made the land pay interest on the in
vestment all the time.

CAVALRY WILL GUARD
THE MEXICAN BORDER

BISBEE, Ariz., Two troops of the
First cavalry arrived here early to-
day from Douglas to assist military
authorities here and the Bisbee police
in preventing recurrence of last
nights riots, in which negro soldiers
and white persons were wounded.
The shooting occurred during an
attempt of white officers of the regi-
ment to disarm the soldiers after a
rough and tumble fight near negro
club late last night.
The trouble started when George
Sullivan, military policeman for the
10Th cavalry, advised group Of
noisy negro soldiers to go home.
Civilians and negroes clashed and
later shots were fired when the police
and military officers sought to disarm
the negro soldiers.

Moscow. The best grain he has seen
in the whole country, Mr.. Albright
says, is on Fix ridge where the crops
are looking good and with rain in
the near future will fill in fine shape
and the Fix 'ridgers will get good
yield. In his opinion, the best yield
of grain in this part of the country
this year will come from Fix ridge.

London, Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-The House Of
Commons has rejected by vote OF
317 to 72 proposal made by the Lib
eral party and endorsed by the Labor
party for levy on capital as means
of discharging part of England's
enormous war debt
Sir Donald Mclean, one of the Lib
eral leaders, in the debate proceed
ing the vote, deprecated making the
question one of party, as a capital
levy, he said, was "an emergency pro-
posal to meet an emergency situa-
tion." The government, he. said, had
to choose between levy on capital
or a continuance of the present heavy
income taxation for 80 or 30 years.
Austen Chamberlain, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, refused to consider
the idea of such levy. He said he

CROP CONDITIONS
IN LATAH COUNTY
JULIAETTA MAN TELLS OF CON-
DITIONS IN VARIOUS SEC
TIONS OF THE COUNTRY

W. F. Albright, who resides on the
Potlatch creek, five miles below town,
reports that the tomato and corn crop
down the creek are looking fine and
are not hurting for rain yet. Mr..
Albright is gardner and raises
vegetables for the market. His sweet
corn is now tasseling and the pros
poets are fine he says for an excel
lent crop. ]. J. Groseclose who lives
near him has an exceptionally fine
field of corn and will get splendid
yield The tomatoes are much
earlier than usual and he thinks he
will have ripe tomatoes in July this
year. There is a fine crop and he
says there are tomatoes on the vines
now large enough for table use if
they were ripe. Melons, however,
will be scarce The cut worms
damaged the crop badly and the
stand of melons is very poor. But
what there will be of them will be
of good quality.
Mr. Albrighe is out over the
country every week on his vegetable
routes and has a chance to see the
grain crops and observe their condi-
tion. The hay crop he says, will be
the shortest in years The timothy
around Bovill and Deary where good
crops are usually harvested will not
yield a half ton to the acre and like
conditions prevail in other sections.
He perdicts hay will be worth $50
per ton before winter is over. Spring
grain is also damaged by the con-
tinued dry weather. In the Lapwai
section some fields are so dry that
they will not be benefited even if |
rain should come now. He made a
trip through the Moscow section
about week ago and finds that the
spring grain there looks bad for the /
lack of moisture. In many places the
grain is backward and has not yet
covered the ground. Field peas, he
