The stage from shoshone to Twin
Falls via Jerome has been able TO make
its regular schedule consisting Of two
cars each way daily. in spite Of the
muddy roads Of the past week. II

quite a record considering the fact that
the railroad trains have so frequently
been late.

AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE

The League OF Nations, the first
formal meeting Of which was held
last week. was the child Of the great
war no less than was the Russian Rev
olution. the republicanized Germany.
the wailing CRY for self-determfnin-
alton among the little peoples.
Men saw that the relations among
the nations which had persisted for
centuries bred war Just as roul and
stagnant water is a breeding place OF
vile disease. These relations must BE-
changed or civilization would perish
on its own sword. The cant and trick
cry. the secrecy and bribery and eter-
nal spying, Of the system Of diplomacy
in vogue must give way 10 somethins
nearer TO friendship and cooperation
or else the progress Of mankind would
be stayed by its own passion for zelf-
destruction. Many have claimed the
idea Of the League Of Nations. or it has
been claimed for them but it was
thing forced on the minds Of thousands
Of men who beheld what follies and
sins the outworn practices IF nations
had led them in1o.
TIE reason why America was NOT
represented at the first meeting OF the
Ieseus does not mean and never has
meant for moment. that the people OF
This country ara snam0red. Of the old
international relationships or look upon
the proposed Kew order cynically. The
reason lies in the attempt 70 force the
Covenant Of the League through our
congress without discussion or exami-
nation; in the attempt TO make this
same covenant replace parts Of the
Constitution without the formula Of
or repeal: in the attempt
10 use the League as a club over rival
in the designs planned
and hlueprintei for throwing the de
aision as TO entering the League into

judging from the spirit Of the crowd.
Rupert is blessed with an excellent

eustomed TO a dancing rink this was

ADMITTED SCHEME TO
 EVADE FEDERAL TAXATION

Newark, N. J., March 16.-Richard V. Lindabury counsel for the Fran cisco Sugar Company, New Jersey corporation, admitted in the court of chancery here today that tce company proposed to lease it's assets to a Cuban corporation to be known as the Com pania Azucarara Francisco in order to escape payment of federal income and excess profit taxes amounting an nually to approximately $1,000,000.
 The lawyer made this admission during hearing on a suit brought by William H. Allen of Philadelphia, a stockhoider, to prevent the company from takingt the proposed action. Al len, who declared he himself would lose $13,000 a year if he won his suit, set forth through his attorney that "it is a scheme against public policy"
 It is mere ruse under which the corporation attempts to escape for ten years from paying income and excess profit taxes to the federal gov trn1Hents declared Robert H. Mc- Garter, attorney for the complainant.
 we admit that's the purpose; there is no use arguing that point inter rupted MT. Lindabury.
 The defense asserted the action was lrgd od va "r.@ralv taking ad- vantage of the option accorded it by the rereiiuc 4tH.s tirt nted States which give resident taxpayer the op- portunity of earning profits in forengr countries through the medium oi fc-s.gn corporations and of paying 2 federal tax only upon so much of those taxes as the taxpayer takes from it: subsidiary into it's own treasury Thirty per cent. dividends are promis stockholders this year because Of tht proposed Gay saving, according to thu defense.

VALERA's ST. PATRIck,s
 DAY PROCLAMATION

New York, March 16.-Eamonn De Valera, president of the Irish Re- public tonight issued a "St. Patrick's s Day proclamation to the sons and daughtArs of the Gael" urging them to show the world the right of moral beauty and to teach mankind peace and happiness in keeping the law of love"
 Never before have the scattered children of Erin had such an oppor- tun1ty for noble service,s the proc lamation read. Today you can serve not only Ireland but the world. A cruel war and a more cruel peace have shattered the generous soul. Apathy mocks the high minded, and heartless cynicism points the way of selfish ness.
 We who have had the cup of the Tuition of hope dashed from our lips in every decade have not despaired whose temper has never soured, but who have always looked forward tc the good in tomorrow-the world needs what we can give it today.
 We "re the spear points of the hosts = political siavery-we can bt the shafts of dawn for the despairine and the wretched everywhere
 The world looks to the Irish ir America to help it." the proclamation declared, and added:
 What would not the people of tho old land give for the power which i: yours."
 May God and St. Patrick inspire you to use 1t and use it weil!"

It will be the first time that the entire battleship strength has visited the Pacific coast since the Atlantic fleet made it's mem- orial around the world in 19o7-o8.

PROGRESS IN VICE PROBE AT
 NEWPORT NAVAL STATION

Newport R. L. March 1s.-Reports which agents of the department of justice made to John J. Daly, formeriy Tn charge of the Newport office of the department, regarding alleged immoral practices here, were made part of the record today by the naval court of in- vuiry which is considering charges of improper methods on the part of a naval anti-vice squad.
 Included in reports submitted by Agent Thomas Howick of Providence was letter from George 2. Rowe in which the writer said he believed the findings of the investigators under Lieut.. E. NJ. Hudson. in charge of the squad, had been greatly exaggerated. There was no testimony to indicate identity.
 Daly was brought into the vice in quiry after the navy department had referred the Investigations to the de- partment of justice. The records read today covered investigations in the spring of 1919. Daly testified that be | had received the cooperation of New port city officials and thought condi- tions here were good.
Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-17

Washington, March 1S.-A general declaration of international policy, under which the United States would view with grave concern" any future upheaval threatening the peace and freedom of Europe, was agreed on by republican senate leaders today and presented as a new reservation to the peace treaty.
 Intended to replace the more defi- nlte pledges of Article Ten, the res erIatlon is to be pressed in the sen ate as the farthest step the repubu- can leaders are willing to go toward abandonment of American isolation and participation in European con- f1icts. Its text follows:
 It shall be the declared policy of this government that the freedom and peace of Europe being again threatened by any power or combina- ton of powers, the United States will regard such a situation with grave concern and will consider what, If any, action, it will take in the premises"
 Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin draIted the reservation in consulta- uon with other republican leaders and introduced it in the senate at tbe end of a day of debate on the Irish question which delayed action and blocked the plan to set day for a hnal vote on the treaty's ratification It generally was predicted tonight however, that discussion of the re. 1 mainlng issues of the treaty contro. versy soon would spend itself ant that the ratification roll call would come Friday or Saturday. Not many democrats had had ar opportunity tonight to study the new republican proposal and it was uncer. tam how much support it would com. mand from that side of the chamber i some senators predicted, however mat 1t might have the effect of soft ening the resentment of the admin. istration over the republican artjcI ten reservation and win over enougl more democratic votes to ratify th | treaty.
 A claim of further gains in break ing down administration resistarc was made on the republican side dur Ing the day and some of the republi can leaders were asserting tonieb that the roll call would show a tota very close 10 the two-thirds require to ratify with the republican reserya tions. It is understood to be the nur pose, if ratification fails. to reconsidc q and take a second vote in the hon
