Gov. D. w. Davis addressed an au-
dience of approximately 125 persons
Monday night in Odd Fellows hall,
in Grangeville, on state and national
political issues. The goveror opened his
address with a brief discussion of
responsibilities of the American peO-
pie, followed with a discussion of
the cabinet form of government, and
concluded with an appeal for the ma
tional and state Republican tickets.
"'The American people are neglect
ing their responsibilities, said the
governor, after expressing to the au-
dience his delight at being in Grange
Vile. He told of the pleasure seeking
trend of the people today, and con-
tinued: 'fIt is bordering on serious
ness.
The governor referred to the in
crease in number of inmates in the
state s charitable institutions, and
commented upon the youth of prisoners
at the state penitentiary.
''The average age of the prisoners
is 27 years." said the governor, "and
in the penitentiary are eighty boys
between the ages of IA and 81 years.
A great deal of the crime that has
led them to the penitentiary is di-
rectlv traeeable to the home. Where
youths have been allowed too much
latitude before they reach the age of
sound judgment, they get beyond their
own control.

and take whet he says for 100 cents

The governor then entered into a
discussion of the cabinet form Of
government. He said forty-odd boards
and bureaus in the state had been
consolidated into nine departments. He
declared the cabinet form of govern
ment makes for efficiency in handling
the state s affairs. Governor Davis
praised the state game department and
the state constabulary.
The governor asserted that the cab
met form of government had "not
increased taxes one cent. He took
frequent occasion to laud the present
state administration, and urged the
election of Republican candidates
both on the national and state tick
cts He quoted from Governor Cox's
speech in Boise, and told of alleged
inefficieney by the national administra-
ton in the conduct of the war.
The governor was introduced by
John P. Eimers, chairman Of the Re
publican county organization, who,
with the Hon. Seth D. Jones occupied
places on the stage during the COVER

HARD CIDER
AND GET IN JAIL,
WARNING OF LAW
Apple Jack Must Not Contain
More Than Half Per
cent Alcohol

Persons who sell what is generally
known as "hard CIDER are subject
to prosecution under the Volstcad act
That is, if the cider contains more
than one-half of l percent of alcohol,
it is, under the law, deemed to
possess sufficient 'fkickN as to rem
der it Intoxicating, and the person
who sells such cider lays himself open
to prosecution.
Sweet cider is taxable under certain
conditions The term soft drinks -
include apple juice, loganberry juice
and other fruit juices. sold as bever-
ages by the manufacturer in bottles
or closed containers, and is on bever-
ages which contain less than one-half
of l percent of alcohol.
A special ruling states that eff
person manufactures sweet, I'M
fermented cider and and peddles it
from house to house, selling it by the
gallon or in any other amount as
may be desired, from milk cans or
barrels, the purchasers furnishing
their own receptacles therefor, the
sales are not taxable. - AS to what
would be done with the party who
peddled the cider in a keg or jug, is
not explained.
The regulations governing the en-
forcement of the Volstead act, say
that "all persons desiring to man
ufacture cider or other Intoxicating
liquors specified in this article for
conversion into vinegar, or to use
such cider or intoxicating liquors in
the manufacture of vinegar, should
file application on form 1404, pre-
scribed in article III, setting forth in
such application the exact acts for
which they desire authorization.
After approval, a permit will be
issued authorizing the acts stipu-
lated
"Cider, manufactured by persons
holding permits as above, may be
used bv them in the manufacture of
vinegar or may be sold or furnished
by them in quantities of five wine
gallons or mode to other persons
holding permits to use cider in the
manufacture of vinegar, upon receipt
of permits to purchase form 141O,
and may not otherwise be disposed of.
"Sweet cider containing less than
one-half of l percent of alcohol
by volume may be manufactured and
sold without the necessity of obtain
ing permit, provided such product is
up put and marketed in sterile closed
containers or is treated by the addi-
ton of benzoate Of soda, or other sub
stance which will prevent fermenta-
ton, in such proportion as to insure
the alcoholic contents remain be-
low one-half of one percent of alco-
hol by volume. The responsibility Of
keeping the alcoholic content below
such percentage rests upon the man
ufacturer, and in any case where
cider is found upon the market con-
tanning alcohol in excess of the al
lowed percentage the manufacturer
will be presumed to have manufac-
tured and sold an intoxicating liquor.
"Cider containing less than one
half of / percent of alcohol by
volume may be sold by the producer
to persons holding permits to manu-
facture vinegar. If such cider, how
ever contains one-half of ! per
cent or more of alcohol by volume
when removed for conversion into
it will be necessary that the
persons producing came hold permits
TO manufacture cider"

Comparisons Are Made with
Figures for 1910 and 1900;
Reason for Large Losses

Preliminary announcement of popu-
latiOn, by precincts, of Idaho county,
as disclosed by the fourteenth census,
has just been announced by the cen
sus bureau. Comparisons are made with
1910 and 1900 populations. A number
of precincts are shown to have lost
materially in population, and in many
instances this is due to division of
the precincts and the creation of new
precincts from a part of the old.

I otal Population
of United States
Is IO5,683,
REPORT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE
OUTLYING POSSESSIONS
MANY QUIT FARMS

The 1920 population of continental
Omitted States is announced by the
census bureau as l05,6SS, los. This is
an increase of 13,7lO,S42, or 14.9 per-
cent since 1910.
The total does not include the
population of outlying possessions
which will be announced as soon as
the figures for Alaska and the mill
tary and naval forces abroad are
tabulated. 1t is estimated, however,
that these possessions have 12,250,00O
inhabitants. so the total number of
people living under the American flag
is in round numbers l1S,000,0 600.
The figures for continental United
States compare with 81 1872, 266 ten
years ago and 75,994, 575 twenty years
ago. The increase for the last decade
however fell 2,266,S49, or 81 per
cent, below that Of the preceding
decade
Director Rogers of the census bu-
reau, in a formal statement, attribu-
ted this reduction to the almost com
plete stoppage of immigration DURING
the war, an increase in emigration
during the same period, deaths from
the influenza epidemic of 1917 and
1918, and war casualties. The state
ment noted that the trend of popu-
lation from the country to the city
had been accentuated greatly since
1910. This situation was clearly
in the figures as to farms
in the country, also made public
recent These placed the total of
farms at 6,459,99S, an increase of only
as against an increase of 624,130, or
90 ,496, or is percent in ten year,
as against an increase of 624,130, or
1919 percent, during the decade end
ed i'm 1910.

MORE PRESTIGE FOR WEST

Examination of the final census
figures of the country indicates
that the west and the south proper
tionately will gain more in pOliti-
cal way than the east or middle west
through increased membership in the
house of re; resentatives, more votes
in the electoral college and in larger
delegations to the national political
conventions.
This result will btain whatever
basis of apportionment is adopted by
congress next winter, fixing the size
of the next house, which in turn is
reflected in the electoral college and
the conventions Of the big political
parties.
As a result of the increase of 49,
71O,S42 in population during the past
ten years fifty new seats could be add
ed to the house. Should the present
membership of 435 be left unchanged
by increasing the basis of approtion-
ment there viii have to be a transfer
of thirteen seats, now held by twelve
states, to nine other states.
For the past half century the pre-
cedent has been to increase the size
of the house so as to prevent loss of
existing representations by any state.
If this precedent is followed this
year five additional representatives
seats must be given to California, four
each to New York, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and Michigan; three to Illinois
and Texas, two to Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and North Carolina and one
each to Alabama, Arizona, Connecti-
cut Georgia, Montana, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Washington, West Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin, Virginia, Arkansas

DETAILED REPORT

Herewith is the report in detail:

OPPOSE ENLARGING HOUSE

Congressional leaders are strongly
opposed to any large increase in the
house as they regard the present
membership of 435 as too unwieldy.
When the house census committee
headed by Representative Siegel of
New York, begins consideration Of
the problem, effort will be made to
hold down the increase, but pressure
for the increase is expected to come
from the states which would benefit
from a larger house. The present
apportionment basis is 211, S77 inhabi-
tants or its major fraction to the
congressional district
BY holding the house membership
to 435, gains would be distributed with
three to California, two to Michigan
and Ohio, and one each to Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Texas and Washington.
To offset these gains, Missouri would
be forced to lose two congressman
while Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi,
Nebraska. Rhode Island, Vermont
and Virginia would lose one each. All
other states would retain their present
numerical delegations in congress.
At the last session of congress some
Republican leaders expressed oppo-
sition to any change in the house that
would be of profit TO the south.
However, the new census does not in
dictate that the south can be affected
without corresponding effect on
states where the Republicans might
not be inclined to reduce the delega-
