CASH SPARE TIME
Still Plenty of Room for
Ambitious People to
Reap Harvest

1t is time that some systematic
work should be done by the candi-
dates in The idaho Repubiican's q
Everybody Wins campaign IL they
wish to make sure of the splendid
prizes offered them. And right now
is the time to start in earnest.
Did you ever have an opportuni-
| ty offered you in which you were
PAID in CASH for the effort neces-
sary to secure such an award as q
five-passenger 1920 model 1895
Essex touring car. or a 1920 five
passenger $1840 Nash or even $500
in gold, or any one of the other big
prizes. You are PAID for whatever
time you put into this campaign by
The Idaho Republican, whether you
win or not.
Every active candidate is guaran-
teed cash prize. and If you get
started NOW and enter into the cam
paign in earnest, while you are as
suring yourself Of this cash prize,
you can secure one Of the new 1920
touring cars--and secure 1t without
the expenditure of one cent In the
next few weeks.
1t is almost inconceivable that cam
didates will hesitate in going after
such generous proposition and GO
ing after It strong. 1t is a positive
fact that some Of the friends OF the
candidates are taking more interest
tn and sending in more votes for
them than the candidates are them
selves. The majority of the candi-
dates seem to be content to send in
a few coupons and expect their
friends to do the rest for them with
out making any effort themselves.

more subscriptions turned into the
office by subscribers themselves who

FOR YOUR ATTENTION

The Idaho Republican wishes
to call the attention of its, read
ers to the opportunity that ex-
lists in the mammoth Everybody
Wins" voting election being an
nounced in its colums. without
one cent of cost some persons
will secure awards, the cash yal-
ue of which are about $4,000 each
in the short space of five weeks,
during the spare moments that
otherwise would be wasted. Many
wonderful prizes and hundreds OF
dollars in gold and silver await
those who wish to turn their
spare moments into cash. And
1t has been so planned that there
will be no losers-every active
candidate will be paid in cash for
his or her efforts. There never
has been such a prize list offered
by a newspaper in this section
and there probably never will be-
another of such magnitude. -
The Idaho Republican has been,
commended on every side for its.
liberality and generosity in dis
tributing such q vast amount Of
gold and prizes among its home
folks instead of spending this
money with outside solicitors and.
collectors. Although it undoubt-
edly means big temporary loss
on the part Of The Idaho Repub-
lican the management will feel
we'll repaid if through this sxperl-
diture the newspaper is better ad- 4
vertised throughout the city and; 4
country and more homes are I
made regular readers Of 1t. In
fact, the real purpose of the CAM
paign is the increasing Of the
subscription list, regardless Of ex-
pense.
The Idaho Republican invites
you to become a participant in
this tremendous gift distribution. /
1t doesn't cost you one cent to
enter or to win one of the big
gest prizes in the entire list. From
a good sound business standpoint |
it Is worthy Of your best efforts |
during your spare time.
Nominations are now open and |
it is advisable for those who wish |
to participate to send in their !
names Immediately.

France Will Not
Follow Americas
Price Slashing

PARIS. - The French press,
commenting on the nationwide
price slashing in America, is
unanimous in expressing the be-
lief that 1t will not bring about
q similar movement in France.
Today. in spite Of the improve
ment of the exchange situation,
prices in Paris jumped upward
again. LIE Petit Journal says:
If France returns to normal
conditions the. prices in Paris will
fall somewhat, but never to the
old pre-war level, because the con-
sumers have become accustomed
to the high"

LONDON.-Sir Edward Carson re-

American gold" is financing the
murder campaign" in Ireland and
anti-British movements elsewhere.
He said he had ample proofs that
the disturbances in Ireland, Egypt
and India are connected with an
anti-British conspiracy and added:
1T is my belief that the whole or
a great part of the murder campaign
in Ireland is directed from America.
l believe that funds from there, pos
sibly funds sent from Germany to
America and thence to Ireland, are
used in the campaign in that coun-
try"

WASHINGTON.-The Knox reso-

Germany and Austria will be taken
up Friday in the senate. Represen-

committee on foreign Affairs, gave
noaice today that he would call the
measure up for direct concurrence,

resolution sent to conference, the
report would have to be approved by
The senate, with resultant loss of

| WASHINGTON.-The opinion |.
fast growing here that the collapse
Of the transportation systems of the
country is a forerunner Of re.
sumption Of government operation
High officials are known to hold
the view that the appeal of the rail
roads to the interstate commerce
commission to exercise its emergen-
cy powers is an admission that they
can't function.
In view Of this, until these off
cials have said privately If condi-
tions do not improve there will be
no alternative to a resumption of
government operation.
The complete collapse Of the roads
SO soon after their return to their
private owners conclusively demon
strates the necessity for government
ownership and operation, in the
opinion of Representative Thetus w.
Sims of Tennessee. Mr.. Sims was
chairman of the house interstate
commerce commission during the
Democratic control of congress and
confidentially influential in framing
the legislation for federal operation
during the war. In q signed state
ment Mr.. Sims declares private own
ership and operation is absolutely
necessary If the public is to be as
sured of adequate transportation at
reasonable rates.
Some of the country's leading
bankers here to confer with the fed
eral reserve board on financial con-
ditions declared the hope of passing
safely through the present critical
period rests almost entirely upon
he ability of the railroads to func-
ion.
