Outlining the history Of the pr0pos-
ed bond issue recent Issue 81 the
highway bulletin consinues:
AT present the state receives about
100000 from the speciai two mill
tax. With the bond issue added, the
state will have 5000 900 FOR its share
of the highway work. Under the
present system Of cooperation the
counties and highway districts will
provide 100000. which sum they
have already voted in recent bond cleo
tons. The Federal government may
match large portion of this fund,
dollar for dollar, to build better high
ways all over the Gem state. In ad-
dition, both political conventions have
pledged their candidates to a more
equitable distribution Of federal funds
throughout the west. so Idaho may
expect, and will get. substantial APP
preparations for highways in the For

Profit From Roads.
Massachusetts was confronted with
the problem of the abandoned farm,
and a state farm bureau was organ
ized to get settlers on these idle
lands. The soil was fertile and there
were good markets for all produce,
but the roads were in such condition
that it was impossible to market the
crops at a profit. A few years after
the Massachusetts, state highway COM
mission started to improve the farm
roads the state farm bureau closed its
doors. The abandoned farm is only

Southern California has been ac-
cused of farming the tourist instead of
the land, but if so, it appears to yield
the scenic attractions, the climate and
a good dependable crop. Idaho has
the accommodations for travellers, but
# does not yet have the roads. The
tourist comes as far as Yellowstone
park, but is unable to go to other
beauty spots in the Gem state on ac-
count of lack of passable highways.
New Hampshire has built system
of good roads which have made the
White Mountains the playground of
the east. Idaho, with her mountains
that dwarf the monarehs of the east
ern ranges, will be the scenic resort
of the west. If anyone doubts that
scenery is big financial asset let him
look at Switzerland where the land
is farmed in side hill strips and the
tourist is farmed everywhere.
Open New Wonderlands.
The North and South highway,
which will be opened in a short time,
will open up wonderland to the
tourist, but many miles of lateral roads

Lofthus was a Socialist candidate

Leninisn

Mistor Lenin, over there in Russia
Is said to be uncommonly anxious tC
turn tho United States to Bolshevism
cur compliments to Mister Lenin, but
We have to say that he is entirely mis-
taken as to the nature of the folks
that inhabit these little old United
States.
Brother Lenin's whole theory is
based on humanity being divided into
classes, the proletariat and peasants,
the middle class and the upper class.
Now, in Europe, such exist In Eur
ope, once proletariat, always a pro-
letariat Once bourgeoise (middle
class) always a bourgeoise. Once an
aristocrat (upper class) always an
3ristocrat.
But in the United States we are all
middle class The proletariat gets in
the middle class as soon as possible,
whereas those of us who think we are
aristocrats are nursing an illusion;
We are really middle class people, no
matter how much money or leaning
we may have or how old our families
are.
In Europe the real workingman
who gets into the middle class has a
hard job of it. In America it's the
easiest thing N the world for Mr..
Proletariat to- raise himself to that
grade. All he has to do is to will it
himself and nobody and nothing can
stop him. AS to peasants, there are
none in the United States. If Broth
er Lenin hasa notion that the Yankee
farmer is apeasant. ever was peas
ant, or ever will be a peasant, we
think that it's about time for the said
brother to retire to an asylum for
the insane.
Bolshevism Is ,anti-middle classism.
All of us Americans being middle
classers. we are not going to revolute
against ourselves.
Somebody should tell Comrade
Lenin about it.

A quarter section Of land in North
Dakota is not a big holding. Indeed
a quarter section of irrigated land is
not considered overly large in an ir-

Mothers Pensions

When Judge Henry Neil, father of
mothers pensions. pushed his first
pension bill through the Illinois Leg
islature in 1911, nc state or nation in
the world was paying poor mothers a
cent for the highly important govern
ment work they were doing Of bring
ing up their children properly. so that
in few years they would be good
citizens.
This year-1s2O-Cook-co. Illinois
will pay half million dollars in pen
sions, order of court. to mothers of
little ones whose fathers are dead
incapacitated. or missing.
The other day, the police of Chic
ago. which is in Cook-co. found two
little boys, wandering the. street at
midnight. probably learning city. dew
iltry. Taking them home about 2 a.
mi. the widowed mother was found.
She had returned at midnight from
her work of scrubbing In big office
building and at 2 a. m. was starting
Eer own washing for her family of
five children. The court-Judge Ar
nold-gave her apension at once; he
decided that the responsibility and
public importance of rearing a, family
OF FIVE was enough for one woman to
undertake without having to earn a
living for them also.
Our rural towns and communities
probably have few extreme cases as
the foregoing. Yet, we do have oc-
casional poor widows with small
children and poor mothers with bad
husbands. Are we paying enough
attention to the few we have? Are
we seeing to 1t that they are able to
bring their children up properly, in
cluding good nourishment and suffic-
lent education to make them physi-
oully strong and mentally strong Am
