HITCHING OUR WAGON TO
THE WESTERN STAR

The West, as we mean it, compris-
es that part of the United States
from the Rocky mountains to the
Pacific ocean. We who get our liv-
ing here depend entirely upon how
much wealth our part of the country
produces. If more wealth poured in
to the West than poured out in any
given year it would be harder to
bring money in the next year. If that
condition continued the price of land
would go down and living would be
scant. Every region in the world
lives on what it produces that the
world will buy.
Just as America woke up during
the war to the fact that as nation it
stood against the world in open COM
petition, willy-nilly, so has the West
come to the realization of the fact
that as region it stands against the
world to earn what it can for what
it produces.
Every dollar earned by a Western
industry at this time means anoth-
er dollar or two will be invested to
bring out other resources.
The women of the West seem more
alive to the possibilities of unified
local attitude toward Western prod
ucts and industries than the men.

FATHER MUST BE
CONVINCED

The question is: Has father HIM
self been sold on the inestimable val
ue of education? Sometimes he is
just a bit proud of the fact that he
made good without much education.
No boy will normally value educa-
ton more highly than his dad does.
And if dad doesn't think much of
schooling he might as well say so;
he can't conceal it very long from
observing young eyes and ears.
Perhaps father has been think
ing all along that he was strong for
education, and yet has never stepped
inside the school house door. There
is no doubt he has oftentimes held
the school tax down to minimum
without knowing much about his in
vestment in the matter of schools.
If he's farmer and has invest
ed a thousand dollars in good
COW he isn't going to turn her out
on the range to take care of her
self. No,-he'll provide good barn
and the best of feed. If he's bust
ness man he will pay the highest
market price for skilled workers
that his investment shall not suffer
thru Indifferent handling.
And yet these men have their
very lives invested in their children.
Would it not be consistent for them
to be rather deeply interested in the
schools where these same children
spend half their young lives, and
also in the persons whose duty it is
to cultivate the mental powers of
their children?
If they had this deep interest it
would do more than provide tax
money for efficient schools; it would
stimulate the early understanding
of young persons and set up in them
a better attitude towards school.
A good many youngsters never
know their fathers have any con-
nection with their schools whatever.
It is really to parents best in
terests to know what kind of school
the children are in and what kind of
teachers are filling their young
minds with presumably valuable
instruction. F. C. K.

Berlin. Conditions in Germany are
described by the minister of defense
rs extremely serious.
"You cannot paint the situation
throughout Germany too black" an
official at the ministry declared.
The situation in Berlin itself was
characterized as bad" In one case

overpowered by Spartacan forces, its
officers killed and their bodies mu-

person who has recently been in.
touch with the German situation. The
elements of law and order are suf-
ficiently weak now without having to
undergo the strain of a division in
their own ranks, between those who
would preserve the existing regime
and those who would prefer to re-
store the leaders and methods of 1914
In invoking the general strike, Ebert
took step almost as desperate as
that of Kerensky when he turned to
Lenine to- obtain the support neces-
sary to meet the incoming Korniloff
forces. Therefore, the men who were
seeking to transfer Russia into a pro-
gressive Democracy, preserving its
patriotism, but abolshing it's tyrants,
lost control completely. There was
nothing left to meet the next push,
which came from the bolshevists.
1t is not simple thing-this new
German problem The defeat of the
counter-revolution and the restoration
of the Ebert government, desirable
as it seems to the western world, may
not prove solution, but mere pre-
lude to the final collapse Of Germany,
a descent to the final abyss of chaos
totally reminiscent of what for three
years has been Russia's plight.

LEGION FINALLY STANDS
FOR BONUS

- At first the American Legion was
modest. The Minneapolis conven-
ton did not feel that it could with
propriety ask the national congress
for rewards at time of strenuous
reconstruction when so many vital
issues were before that venerable
body.
The convention merely indicated
a receptiveness towards any act of
generosity the congress might deem
proper to award ex-service men.
Congress did nothing about it, and
what is more, did very little about
the crowding issues of reconstruc-
tion which seemed to burden it. Con-
gress has worn that burden lightly
enough all these months Every we'll.
them" says the American Legion,
I'VE shall be more explicit"
A committee was called together,
representing all parts of the nation,
comprised of leading men from va
rious posts of the Legion, to tell
congress at Washington just what
was right for the nation to give it's
fighters. Then things began to hap
pen. A bill was introduced
which would make compensation to
the army or navy man in four ways,
according to individual choice: he
might receive help in buying a farm,
or city property, or receive course
of schooling in his chosen profess
sion, or receive cash bonus.
Last Friday the Blackfoot post
passed resolution favoring this bill,
and instructing it's delegates to the
state convention at Twin Falls to
vote for it.
From the service mans standpoint
it was not strange that no demands
were made for reward at the COM
pletion of the war. The men came
home amidst rousing plaudits of the
people. Nothing was too good to be
said of them. Their work as soldiers
and sailors had been magnificent"
etc. That was enough for awhile.
Surely, it seemed, grateful nation,
so very grateful at having its dear
est traditions upheld, would do some
thing to repay. 1t might make it
easier to get jobs, or cancel some tax
annoyances, or give some land for
settlement, or in time pay a cash
bonus.
AS it turned out the government
even fell down in it's duty towards
wounded men, for whom hospital
service is even today inadequate.
Were there any excuse the Legion
might yet have hesitated to ask. But
every man in America has been
aware of the huge revenue pouring
into the public treasury and has also
become aware of gross extravaganza
in it's expenditure.
And so the Legion stood no longer
ON sentiment, but plunged in, with
the result that prospects look bright
for some congressional action be-
fore the fall elections. IF. C. K.

ANNOUNCE OWNERS
OF SUGAR COMPANY
Further Evidence Given
in Hearing Before
Trade Commission

Evidence purporting to show that
President Heber ]. Grant, as trustee
in trust of the L. D. s. church, and
as a special stakeholder, Nibley &
Co., the H. l.. Havemeyer estate, w.
s. Mccormick, Bishop c. w. Nibley,
Merrill Nibley and other members of
the Nibley family own the control
ling interest in the issued stock of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company, was in
troduced Monday, when the hearing
of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company,
the Amalgamated Sugar company,
Ernest R. Woolley, E. F. Cullen and
A. P. Cooper was resumed before
Judge Joseph ]. Durham, examiner
for the federal trade commission at
Salt Lake. The respondents are
charged with Illegally hampering in
dependent competitors engaged in in
terstate business in sugar.
The testimony was brought out
during the examination of w. T.
Piper. assistant secretary and treas
urer of the Utah-Idaho Sugar COM
pany, who has been on the stand
since the hearing opened last Thurs
day. Mr.. Piper declared that the is
sued stock of the company amounted
to between 100000 and 100000
shares. A list of the principal stock
holders of the company was then
produced by Henry Ward Beer,
special attorney for the commission,
who is conducting the case for the
government. The list revealed that
President Grant as trustee in trust
holds 364,919 shares and is credited
on the books Of the company with a
special holding Of $4,000 shares. The
Havemeyer estate holds 57,975
shares; Nibley & Co. 1856, 225 shares;
Merrill Nibley, $50 shares; w. S.
Mccormick 5000 shares; c. w. Nib
ley as presiding bishop 1475 shares,
and other members of the Nibley
family small amounts. The grand
total is 1,251,5S0 shares.
At the resumption of the examina-
tion, Mr.. Beer questioned Mr.. Piper
as to the location of the various
sugar factories which are not owned
by the Utah-Idaho or the Amalag-
mated companies.
The activities of the United States
Beet Seed company we're also gone
into. Mr.. Piper declared that he is
secretary and treasury of the COM
pany and that the Utah-Idaho and
the Amalgamated companies are
members. He said that the company
has grown sugar beet seeds in large
quantities but that the activities of
the company will cease this year be-
cause Of unfavorable climatic condi-
lions for seed culture. A letter from
the Utah-Idaho company's files, writ
ten by Mark Austin, was read In
which the fixing of the price Of beet
seeds to the farmers was discussed.
Mr.. Piper was asked if to his knowl-
edge there were other instances in
which steps had been taken to fix the
price of seeds and he said that he did
not know.
Advertisements alleged to have
been run by the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company in one Salt Lake newspaper /
and in the Idaho Daily Post were Of
fered as evidence by Mr.. Beer. These
advertisements cautioned farmers
engaged in beet culture to exercise
care in the selection of the company
to which they sold their beets.
