Pure Food Show
Week at Boise

Following a movement that is
growing in the, west toward fuller
appreciation of things produced and
marketed west of the Rockies this is
the season of education along that
line. The week of April will see 1T
Boise the greatest Western Products
and Household Efficiency exhibit.
Since the west is so much an agricul-
tural country the pure food show of
that week will be it's principal
feature.
Idaho is rich state, and it lending
encouragement to manufacturing in
dustries of the west in turning raw
material into finished product.
Tie most careful plans have been
laid for making April $40 a week
apart from all others and supreme
demonstration of Bosses exhibit eff
ficiency. The New West magazine,
the Boise chamber of commerce, the
Idaho state welfare and pure food de-
partment, and the extension depart
mentfof the University of Idaho are
the organizers Of this show, which is
intended to not only display the
growth and advancement of manu-
featuring in the west, but to educate
the people on pure food laws.

commodities continues. TO bring con-
ditions in this country somewhere
near back to normal it was the opin-
ion of the federal advisory council
at it's meeting in Washington Feb
ruary 16 that on returning to his
district each member should urge the
wholesalers and jobbers to cut down
their eastern orders and demand ear
ly deliveries. They should cease to
be frightened into buying far ahead
and in excess of their immediate
needs, for they will get the goods
they want and possibly at lower fig
ures than now are quoted.
p "Our present system Of taxation
needs radical revision. Excess pro-
fit taxes should be abolished. The
required revenue should be raised
in other ways, by increasing income
taxes if necessary. 1t is wrong in
principle; tax the consumers and en-
courage production.
THE Cummings-Es railroad bill
has passed, but the roads are in a de-
plorable condition to return to their
owners. They need at once two or
three thousand cars; they must bor-
row or obtain in some way $500, 00O,-
900 this year annd ,000,0O0,O00
next year if they are to keep up
their tracks, terminals. equipment
and be prepared to furnish tn epub-
lie what 1t needs in the way of trans
portation.
However, | am not naturally a
pessimist, and am inclined to be-
lieve that business in our section will
continue to be good for six months
or more. But our business men
should go slow, curtail their orders,
reduce their stocks, limit their in
debtedness and watch their credits"

SETTLING WATER PROBLEMS

John Bailey, one of 1daho's civil
engineers, came over from Boise last
week and spent couple of days in
the Presto country, going over the
situation with canal men to adjust
differences in water rights brought
about by lack of understanding of
how to preserve and protect their
rights.

Hearers Pay Compliment.

The highest compliment that could
have been paid to the speaker and
the deep interest in his words, was
that not single man left the room
during the address, probably the
longest ever heard at Rotary club
luncheon and which continued for 20
minutes beyond the usual closing
time. go on" Let 'er go!" cho-
rused the members when the banker
was about to close at two different
periods in the talk.
Advising the business men to pro-
coed with cave and caution, buy for
prompt delivery and refuse to be
stamreded by the continued bluff
of the manufacturer, conserve credit
and watch the credit of their custom
ers, the speaker held that the coun-
try may hope to- soon get back to
condition of lower prices, lower
costs and a more sensible level of liv-
ing, which may be good for ALL" Mr..
Mills said in part:
THE armistice was signed Novem-
Der II, 1918, now more than 10
months ago, but world conditions are
long, long way from satisfactory
readjustment. Economists, states
men and financiers are struggling in
sea of uncertainty, striving to reach
firm basis of readjustment that will
give equal justice to all nations but
unwarranted advantages to none.

trade and commerce? Few as yet
Individual suggestions there are

One intelligent attempt at cooper

world problems.

As yet this contere .ce has not
been called, but it is hoped the con-
ferees will meet within the next two
months.
National Debts First Problem.
What problems of finance and
trade are to be solved? First, a fair
and Just settlement of the enormous
national debts arising from the war
without driving weaker nations to
repudiating their obligations: second,
the restoration of norman trade rela-
lions between the nations of the
earth.
| Let us consider for moment eX-
isting conditions in England, France,
Belgium and Italy, our most promi-
nent allies; conditions in Germany
and Austria, our erstwhile enemies,
and lastly conditions in our own
country.
In spite of labor troubles, the
Irish problem, loss of man power,
high cost of living, reckless extrava-
gance on the part of many, a huge
war debt and the various other ills
that are the aftermath of great
war, England is regaining her stride
and is forging ahead rapidly.
Throughout the four years of war her
statesmen never forgot that the bulk
Of the worlds commerce had always
been carried in English ships.
Though the needs of the navy were
never neglected, England's commerce
was not forgotten AS fast as her
freight carriers were destroyed they
were replaced, so that today Eng
lands merchant marine is greater
than it was before the war, and it is
aiding most materially to Great Bri-
tain's revenues.
Dollar Exchange in Danger.
"England's economists recognize
that unless her exports exceed her
imports she cannot carry on and at
the same time meet her heavy obli-
cations. In consequence she is
speeding up her exports and cur
failing importations. AS a result
government receipts are now exceed
ing expenses, her old channels of
trade have been re-esta blished and
the worlds exchanges again are be-
ing made in pounds sterling. Unless
we in this country take prompt and
efficient action dollar exchange will
be but an American war dream.
France, saved almost by a mira
Gle from humiliation, has not yet
come to full realization of all that
she must do to re-establish her cred
it, and her commerce.
However, unless the people soon
awaken to full consciousness of &C
tually existing conditions France in
the near future will not regain the
position it formerly occupied in the
world of commerce and finance. To |
regain such place France must cease
to depend largely upon German in

war costs and losses and must adopt |

,ctories are closed
down. There is much idle labor.
POLITICAL feeling runs high and un-
rest is everywhere. Italy must have
long credits and soon in order that
it may obtain raw materials and fuel
for her factories.
What of Austria and Germany?
Austria, shattered, dismembered,
well-nigh destroyed, her people starv-
ing and utterly demoralized, is we'll

The joint ratification resolution
was introduced today in the Senate

There was much speculation tonight
as to when a vote on ratification

it was said, probably would arrange
a joint public hearing Thursday or
Friday night. The resolution might
be reported the following day and go
to a vote Immediately.
Speaker Walker announced today
that he would oppose ratification
and his detection from the ranks Of
the suffragists occasioned much dis

a staunch suffragist and it had been
planned that he would introduce the
ratification resolution in the Nouse.
