try to do it by depending on an ad-
,,.itional fifty cents q ton for beets
which the sugar company refused to
pay and declared they could not al
ford to pay. T. R. Cutler visited
Blackfoot and told us personally
they would have to close down the
factory if we would not raise beets
for $3.50 a ton, but that in another
year or two they might give us SAFE.
He and sat in room at the Cottage
hotel at Blackfoot and went all over
the subject and he assured me that
it was absolutely true that $3.50 a
ION. was all they could afford to pay.
Then he got r1eber austin and my
self closeted together and Heber
gave me his solemn (foxey) assur-
ances of how the matter must be
worked out by manuring the fields
and raising more tons per acre, feed
ing stock on the farm, building up
the soil, working very hard and
never spending cent, SO to speak,
that we must expect to work out to
success. When a man gazes into
your eyes and talks on and on till
he goes over a whole subject thoroly
and you. have respect for his per-
sonality, you are apt to become i'm
bued with his sincerity. 1t was SO

Austin. / fell for it and advocated
it in my paper and perhaps helped
them to put their plans across.

CATION have been telling you about,
written by this same Mr.. Cutler to
Mr.. Havemeyer, not far from the
time he gave me such long earnest
talk in that room at the Cottage
hotel, and he assured Mr.. Havemeyer
that when W. D. Hoover and his
partner, Mr.. Boutelle, from Elton,
Colorado, had been writing beet con-
tracts with farmers around Payette,
agreeing to pay SIS ton, that he,
Cutler, had with extreme difficulty
overcome them and forced them out
of their operations. They had gone
to Nampa and started to promote

Will Teach
Garage Methods
at Free School

1t is surprising what a business
within business" has developed in
the repairing of automobile tires.
Registration figures show that more
than 100000 cars are now in SER
vice. And when you stop to con-
slider that each one of these cars is
engaged in wearing out four tires,
with fifth doing service as a spare
you begin to realize that $4,000, 900
tires offer opportunities for the re-
pairman and his art.
There never has been a greater
need for competent repairmen than
exists right now, So the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber company of Cali
fornia, with the idea of contributing
to the cause a share Of the exper-
fence which has been assimilated by
its tire experts, is announcing the
opening Of school of tire repairing
at Los Angeles, in which free in
struction will be given to persons
contemplating an entrance into the
business and to those already in it.
The school will open on August
20 at the new Goodyear plant, in
charge of ]. R. Wells, manager re-
pair materials department and G. H.
Irwin, chief instructor, and is open
to vulcanizers turnout the entire
west.
A complete practical course, con-
sisting Of three weeks of shop work
and lectures, will be furnished. Be-
ginning with fundamentals every
step in scientific tire repairing will
be demonstrated by an expert.
Not only will the theory OF tire
repairing be presented, but each
member of the class will be given
the opportunity to putt into actual
practice the latest approved methods,
so that when the course is completed
tire student will be qualified to un-
dertake any kind of repair job from
a puncture to a retread.
Working conditions and equip
ment used will not be those of big
factory, but will approach those Of
the average tire repair shop. No
methods will he taught that cannot
be emploved by any rerairman with
a m dest capital. Instruction will

Nonpartisans
Will Not Enter
National Politics

FARGO, N. D.-The Nonpartisan
league will not participate in nation
al politics in the thirteen states
where it is operating. A statement
to that effect was issued by A. G.
Townley, William Lemke and Frank
B. Wood, members Of the league
executive committee. The statement
follows:
I'm accordance with the policy of
the league to date no organization
will take part in the presidential
campaign this year, but, as hereto
fore;s the various state branches Of
the league will make state cam
paigns, endorsing candidates who
support the farmers program The
regular state conventions OF the
league will decide or have decided
what candidates, whether party can
didates, or independents, shall be
supported in the various states for
state office, congress and the legis-
lature.
Under the Nonpartisan league
plan of action the national executive
committee would have to summon a
national delegate convention or call
a meeting Of the national committee
with all states represented before
the league, as national organiZa-
ton, could enter the presidential
campaign. The league has never
taken part in a national campaign
and the time is not 1ire to break
its precedent.
Real, substantial political victor
les for the people can and will be
won by the league in several states
this year. The league program at
this time is solely matter of state,
not national, action, but when the
growth of the organization among
farmers and it's increasing popularity
among all classes of people who want
good honest, peoples government,
the time is not far off when the
league as national organization can
enter politics effectively, but that
time is not this year" #

In the last chapter gave my space
to a reprint of what Will R. Holmes
said to the Utah-Idaho Sugar CON-
pany last week in his open letter
to Mr.. Nibley, and as l think over
the long list of plausible explana-
lions made by Mr.. Nibley, for taking
the higher prices for sugar last
spring, his talk about freight rates,
the desire of the sugar company to
protect the people Of the intermoun-
tain country, their desire to be alb
solutely fair with the beetgrowers
and consumers, and to give the peo-
pie of the mountain states every ad-
vantage they could in competition
with the black labor of Cuba and the
yellow labor of the Pacific, | have
recalled so many plausible things
they have said before, that did not
harmonic with what they say now
or which they have at different times
coitradicted when trying to prove
some passing falsehood, l wish ]
might call attention to all of them.
If l did that you would say was
long winded, and that ! was uncov-
ering too many Of the acts of men
whom the rising generation have
been taught to revere. Some of it
would be recital of personal recol-
lections Of things said and done long
ago when ! did not know the con-
Meeting links as ! know them now
when it is too late to use them to

p.cting sincerity and honesty Of pur-
pose from men who, fifteen year ago
were dcuble-crossing us, and doing,
fine lip service all the while to keep
us fooled. s

Corporations
i'm Idaho Claim !:
Undue Taxation

Representatives of the railroad
and electric power companies at
Tuesdays meeting of the state board
of equalization offered figures from
county assessment valuation reports
for 1919 showing that all taxable
property for 1920 showing that all
property in the state except
property of banks and public utili-
ties was assessed at from 20 to so
per cent of the actual value and that
public utility property assessments
were materially higher.
Each representative quoted from
Judge Frank S. Dietrich's decision
in the federal court in the case of
the Washington Water Power COM
pany versus Kootenai county. The
decision showed assessment of utility
and bank property at from rs to 100
per cent of the valuation which all
other property was assessed not to
exceed SO per cent.
John P. Gray, appearing for the
Washington Water Power company,
quoted the advertisement for the
sale of state bonds published Deem
Der II, 1916, by the state treasurer.
The advertisement showed that the
property of Idaho was assessed at
four hundred forty-six million dol
lars but the actual value was one
billion two hundred and fifty million
dollars. - t
= In fifteen counties federal farm
loans amounted to six hundred TWEEN
ty-two thousand dollars while on
the same farms the total assessed
valuation. was four hundred seventy
seven thousand dollars, according to
figures presented Utility corpora
ton agents showed that no federal
loan is permitted in excess of so
per cent of the actual value and that
the actual value amounted. to one
million two hundred forty-four thou
sand dollars while the assessed val
uation was four hundred seventy,
six thousand dollars or one-third of
the actual value. a.
Similar conditions were shown by
figures from Twin Falls, Minidoka,
Fremont and Latah counties, and
from the Bull and Hepburn park
highway districts.
Mr.. Gray showed that the Wash
ington Water Power company had
returned as revenue between and
Az per cent and that Is per cent
Of the gross income was paid in
school and highway districts, coun-
ty, city and state taxes in Idaho.
The Idaho Power company paid in
taxes 14.9 per cent of it's total in
come and that other electric proper
ties were assessed in other states at
