Governor Davis, the people
want to know why some eight
miles was added to the length of
the North and South State High
way in order to accommodate the
demands Of Idaho county, and
why such Highway was located
at a higher altitude than neces-
sary through Idaho and Lewis
counties. No matter whether
this road is built with national,
state Or county money, the peO-
pie pay it and they have a right
to know why these and other very
extraordinary conditions are per-
mitted in this location? The
apology of the old state highway
board and highway engineer for
this mislocation comes far short
of setting the matter right with
the men who pay the taxes. While
Investigations are in order, here
is something sure-enough to in

STOP THE INFLOW.

Among the bills which failed
to pass in the closing hours of the
Sixty-Fifth Congress was a bill
restricting immigration for the
next four years.
The failure to pass this bill
was an unfortunate circumstance.
immigration into this country has
almost ceased since the Great
War began. If it is desirable to
limit immigration the present is
the time to do so. 1t will oc-
casion less inconvenience and
create less feeling than at a per-
iod when the immigration tide
might be at full flow
After a war there is always a
time when manufacturing and
commerce refit themselves to the
conditions of peace. AT such a
time capital is timid. and it is
only step by step that established
enterprises broaden their scope
or new ones advance. Over a
million young men are now re-
turning from France to such con-
ditions as we have just described
We cannot tell whether an thrush
of immigration from Europe
might be probable, or what eff
feet it might have upon this
country. But we do know that
it is our clear duty to protect
our young men against any bad
results which such a possible in |
flux of European labor might
cause.
The United States has always
been known as the refuge of the
oppressed Of all nations. !" BY re-
stricting immigration for a time
it will not abandon its principles.
It is in the position of man who
has always been truly hosptable
and has opened his house for the
shelter and comfort of many peo-
pie. The time comes when he
wishes to repair and refit his
nome, and to study the possibili-
les of achieving a broader use
fulness in the future. To bring
his about he must close the
house for the time being. i,

Sixth Congress convenes it will II

When spring comes we all feel
the influence of the mild air and
sunshine and general renewal OF
the year. Our winter garments
and furnishings seem worn and
heavy and dim, and we long for
the fresh spring dress or coat, and
trim new pumps or oxfords, and
the new hat that BELTS the sea-
son. And when we look the house
over we see the need Of fresh
curtains in this room, a new rug
in that, a piece of new furniture
elsewhere. Remember that our
local dealers have fresh and sea-
sonable stocks to show you. You
will be able to thoroughly exam
inc your goods before purchasing,
and will have the attendance of
people whom you know, who I'M
derstand your needs and tastes
and will give you pleasant and
courteous service.

THE FARMS CALL THEM.

81" Returning soldiers can't get
jobs. = Some of them can't Ger
tainly.
And there are some jobs that
can't get soldiers. These jobs
are on the farms.
Twelve months ago the farmers
were wondering how to get thru
the year after losing the boys
And, by achieving the impossible,
they did.
They say they can't do it twice.
They must have the boys back
And it seems only reasonable to
release skilled farm help from
the army and keep those who
have no jobs waiting for them.
No one could call it favoritism,
for a farmland s job is not easy
money. And there would be no
difficulty in picking the men out,
as they were classified according
to vocations when the draft took
them away.
