Leap Year Dance Big Success.

That the ladies Of this oommun-
ity can do things little bit bet,
ter was once more demonstrated
last Saturday night, when some
30 of our fairer citizens presided
as hostesses at what was unanl-
mously proclaimed to be the most
successful ball this community
has enjoyed during the current
season. The affair took place
at the Fraternal Hall and the mu-
sic was furnished by johnson s
orchestra. The floor was 1llled
at every dance and the entertain
ers saw to it that none OF their
mere men guests were left to Ian
g,lish as wall flowers while the
dance went on.

furnished refreshment during tne

How Taxless Regime Struck Tax
payers of Lewis County.

Commenting on the annual fl
nancial statement of this county
recently issued by County Audi
tor E. L. Schnell, the New Free
dom of Boise said in last week S
issue:
The table reproduced is taken
from the official report of Audi
tor E. L. Schnell of Lewis County.
The law does not compel the MAX
ing of such comparisons, but they
are highly useful and should be
made in all counties.
1t will be seen that although
Haines when a Republican candi-
date against Hawley, the Demo-
cratic governor, promised a tax
reduction, the total state taxes
paid in Lewis county increased
suddenly over twenty-five per
cent as soon as he got control with
republican Legislature. There
was a tremendous slump under
Alexander the first year and a
still greater reduction the next.
During Alexander's second term,
the expense growing out of state
activities during the war result
ed in an increase, though the to-
tai amount paid during the last
year of the war did not equal the
amount collected during the first
years of the Haines Republican
administration. Under Davis the
total amount collected for the
general fund was almost twice as
great as under the last year of the
Alexander administration In time
of war, while the total amount of
all state taxes increased from
$22,870.03 to $65,9S1.92, the in
crease over the eight year aver
age was for the first Davis year
nearly e52 per cent.
A comparison Of the totals for
all county and school taxes has
been invited by Attorney General
Black in his defense of the admin
istration. In the table from Lewis
county it will be seen that while
the state taxes were going up over
PSI per cent, county taxes increas-
ed by 1921 per cent; the county
roads increasing AS per cent and
the current expense fund 1861
per cent. Schools increased but
52.3 per cent In the meantime.
Amount Of taxes paid to the
state of Idaho by Lewis county
for various wears.

has organized and issued the fol
lowing statement;
I'VE are solidly behind the As
soclation and intend to see it per
fected. We believe the time has
come when every energy and the
production of farms should be
pooled IN order to safeguard the
markets so as to guarantee or
maintain the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit to the
farmers Of this country. We be-
lieve that we should have a water
tight organization that neither the
farmers through their indiffer-
ence, nor the speculator, through
his aggression or unfair methods,
can break up and we desire to say
that we believe that we have The
plan through the Idaho ching
ton Wheat Growers Association
that will do this and more.
"The Association is not going
to hurt or hinder any farmer S
local elevator or warehouse com
pany, but will rather dovetail
with them, and we want to urge
upon every farmer to join the As
sociation, and do it now. Your
association will have TO make its
market and warehouse connec-
tiods and employ it's sales manag-
er, and we have no time tO lose.
Some have criticized the contracts
under which the wheat Is to be
pooled. The committee believes
the contracts which we are put
ting out to be the safest and fair
est that could be put out at this
time.''

County's Big Lumber Plant Elk
panding.

Beginning with next Monday
the Craig Mountain Lumber COM
pany will add night crew to the
mill force, which will practically
double the production of the big
plant. Employment for about SO
additional men will be provided
and will bring the total payroll
up to about 400 men. The pro-
duction of the Winchester mill
will be about 100000 feet, says
special in yesterdays Lewiston
Tribune.
The company has recently COM
pleted the construction of a mod
ern 20-room hotel for the exclus-
i've use Of the unmarried employ
es. The camps are provided with
good sleeping quarters, comfort
able dining halls and provisions
for shower baths.
During the past few months
there has been extensive building
of cottages to provide homes for
the families Of mill employees and
the prospects are very favorable
for much building here during the
coming summer.
The Craig Mountain Lumber
company has recently made exten-
sive purchases of timber lands
and at the present time has more
than 10000 acres Of the best tim
Der on the mountain. The COM
pany has also taken up the matter
of marketing the logged-off lands
on a most reasonable payment
plan, so that ne wfamilies will be
brought in to make their homes
on the land after the timber has
been removed and Winchester
will enjoy steady growth in bus
mess because Of the settling up
Of the surrounding country.
The continuous operation OF the
milling plant is assured for many
years and the development OF the
logged-off lands will have created
a business to make Winchester a
| very important trade center long
before the milling operations are
terminated.

SENTIMENT
GREW, HANNA Says
Democrats at Frisco Not
Enthusiastic at First,
He Asserts

Loyalty to ones government was
presented as prime consideration in
the cports Of four different national
conventions given before the session
OF the albuquerque Rotary club this
noon. Judge Richard II. Hanna OUT
lined the features Of the democratic
conN entlon It san Francisco, Charles
NJ. Barber gave a few sidelights on
the republican gathering at Chicago,
while J. r.. Goodell and DIR. NJ. X.
Wylder respectively discussed the
Rotary and Kiwanls conventions.
That President Wilson and tho
league OF nations covenant were not
favorably looked upon by the great
mass OF democratic delegates when
the convention opened was the dec
laration OF Judge Hanna. who attend
cd as a spectator. Possibly duo to
republican propaganda, both the
president aud the league were looked
upon with disfavor," he asserted. II
consider It notable that as the con-
vcntion progressed. this sentiment
shifted aud when tho resolution COM
mittec reported, the convention was
ready to endorse both the president
and the league, though some roserva-
lions were made on the latter.
"rrOhibitiOn Settled
I'm the NUN, the convention was
entirely normal. There were sectional
N fnctional fights, but the onven
ton was united on the big issues rela-
tive to the safety of the country. on
the prohibition question. the demo-
Gratis decided the republicans were
right In treating II as a settled mat
ter and that II should be kept out of
the platform I'm order that II mlght
always be considered as buried" 3
President Barber OF the Rotary
CLUB declared that the remarkable
thing about the republican V
tion was the way the convention
weighed I'M measured candidates
and selected a cool. conservative man.
Loyalty Stressed.
Mir. GoodelI, making the American
izatlon report Of the international
Rotary convention. quoted from vari-
ous addresses before the convention
in which the need for constant dill
gence ON matters OF national loyalty
wa stressed. He commended the
Rotarlans from foreign lands who
appeared at Atlantic City with the
flags Of their respective lands. He
instanced the Rotary visit to Niagara
Falls where the Canadian flags were
'ilberaHy displayed on the Canadian
side of the fails with only y single
American flag In sigh. on the Amer
lean side.
Dr. WNlder briefly discussed the
Kiwanis meeting, dwelling partlcu-
larry on tho loyalty question. He old
OF the gradual expansion OF Kiwanis
ana voiced the hope that some day
the Roiarians and Kiwensans OF

nations OF the world into giant or
