Statistics issued by the department,
Of commerce, respecting our foreign
lhde, go far toward confirming what
has frequently been said in these col
umns. While the past year, as well as
several preceding years, shows an I'M

country, large portion of 1t is covered
by credit extensions. II IL the eontem-

Figures on Imports Indicate that for
elgn productive energies are again bee
ginning to function. Totals Of both ex-
rerts and imports last year were the
greatest In the country's history, but
imports gained rapidly on exports. Total
exports for the year ending June 80
were SS,1il 100000, an Increase OF $751;
1000 over the previous year. I'm
ports for the year just closed were
sS,239, 100000, an increase OF S2,1t3, 000,-
600 over the year before. This means
that the balance In our favor, for the
year ending June 30, Ia $1,264 900, 900

This, we believe, Is more or less &C

gcld and silver. Gold exports for the
last fiscal year amounted TO s467 1000, 900
while tho total imports for the same
period were only $751; ,000,O 900. leaving a
balance against US Of ss12 900. Silver
exports were $4,000 600 against i'm

The foregoing figures, in practical
English, mean that where we were buy

Anti-suffragists from Tennessee
base their case on two points. First,
the state constitution requires that
an election of the legislature shall
occur between the time an amend
ment to the national constitution is
submitted. and the legislature takes
vote; second, that upon reconsidera-
ton the Tennessee legislature voted
to reject the suffragist amendment.
The New Hampshire and Arkansas
cases are based on the allegation that
the bill passed by the lower house
differed from the bill passed in the
upper house. whereas the law re-
quires that the same bill be passed
by both houses.
The West Virginia anti-suffragists
allege that when suffrage passed that
legislature by . margin Of one vote,
one legislator was illegally debarred
from voting and another permitted
to vote in defiance Of state law
which provides that q legislator who
moves from one district to another
shall be barfed from HIS vote: @
The Missouri case is based on the
claim that fatincation Of federal sur
rage is contrary to provisions Of the

Straw Vote Shows
Harding Has Big
Lead Over Opponent

II straw vote has any value in
determining an election, Harding
has already defeated Cox in the
presidential race. The Rexall Stores
represented in Blackfoot by the
Palace Drug store, is conducting a
nationwide vote on the presidential
candidates with results that are
somewhat startling. Harding is poll
ing two to one over Cox in the north
ern, western and middle-western
states, and is not far behind his
Democratic opponent in the southern
states. The latest bulletin received
by the local store shows a total of
227,450 votes cast up until noon,
September ~. In the northern and
western division Harding received
1864, while 55,746 were cast for
Cox, with total electoral vote of
356 going to Harding. In the south
ern division Cox led with 34,839,
while Harding polled 20,181. Cox's
electoral vote is 167 and Harding's
eight. The total electoral vote of the
country shows Harding with 364 and
1877 for Cox. In Idaho the vote is
Harding 1921, Cox SAT.
Every part of the country is
represented in this voting, and re-
suits are sent daily by telegraph to
Boston, where it is compiled. In the
campaign four years ago. the Rexall
Stores accurately forecast the cleo
ton result, when they conducted
similar vote.

RESIDENTS PAY MAINTENANCE

Shilling avenue is wider than the
rest of the streets. 1t is sixty feet
from curb to curb and If it were
paved all the way across 1t would
place an unusual burden on the prop

the Yellowstone highway and now
becomes a part Of an interstate

a twenty foot strip of paving and
then pay the additional cost of the
parking and the maintenance Of the
parking they will have assumed a
burden greater than that imposed on
the property holders along any of the
other streets. 1t is considered that
the parking will be good ADVERTISE
