WOMEN PRAISE HAYS WORK

The two thousand women recently attending the meeting of the League of Women Voters in Chicago voiced their approval of the attitude of Chairman Will H. Hays of the republican na- tional committee upon the question of woman suffrage in the following resolution which was supported by members of both the republican and democratic parties
 Whereas, The leaders of the little group of women known as anti-suffragists who for dec ade have hoped to defeat woman suffrage by dis credting all who advocate it, are now directing their familiar islanders against MT. Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, because they say he has influenced ratification in several states by appealing to the younger ele- ment in the republican party for the support of suffrage; therefore be it
 Resolved, That the National American Wom- an Suffrage association, with two and one-half million organized women, congratulate the re- publican party upon having a chairman who is astute enough to recognize the trend of public affairs and to attempt to lead his party in step with the inevitable march of human progress.
 "We extend to Mr. Hays our since gratitude for any and all help he may have rendered on be- half of ratification and assure him that our mem- bers being progressive women, hope to align themselves with the younger element of the par ties of their choice.'

HAYDEN DOES GOOD WORK

The Congressional Record of February 9th, gives full account of the splendid fight put up by Congressman Hayden against the attempt of the agricultural committee to double the grazing fees on national forests. Three different at tempts were made to double the present fees, but Hayden succeeded in blocking their efforts by heated arguments against the injustice to the stockmen of the west. Back east it is considered very good form always to hang it onto the west and make them pay the freight as well as all other eXcesses possible to load onto them. Graz ing fees have been double during the past few years, but it was the intention of the patriotic congressman east of the Mississippi to double the rates again. The evident intention in this case was to make the stockmen pay all the running expenses of the forests including experimental stations and overhead charges for handling lum- Der. It is doubtful how long it will be before eastern congressman finally make it impossible for stockmen to live and maintain homes in the west.

ALTOGETHER TOO DRY

country who are ardently in sympathy with the wet platform of Governor Edwards, of New Jer- sey, who have not the nerve to openly say so We do not believe that either national convention this year will go on record as opposing the national constitutional prohibition amendment, but just the same there will be large sentiment in both conventions of the major parties who would be mighty glad if a modification of the prohibition law could be brought about.-Douglas Interna- tional.

The Jerome News is complaining because a good system of water works and fire protection for that town has not tended to lessen the ex- horbitant insurance rates. Jerome should be very careful for complaints of that kind result in the rates being raised fifty per cent. The tend ency of fire insurance companies is to insure only such buildings as are guaranteed absolutely fire proof and then at such rates as the officials may deem adequate profit, after adding to it any pos sible overhead expenses such as airplane acci- dents etc.

MT. Lane, until lately secretary of the inter- for, complains that in Washington official life there is no initiative and "the creative sense atrophies." Yes, but look what happened to Lansing when he took little initiative. The president proceeded to fire him out of the cabinet. If there is no initiative, no creative spirit, among government officials, it is because MT. Wilson wants none about him but men of the willingly go along" type.

Federal dry enforcement officers are con- paining bitterly of the lack of help in enforcing the prohibition law. It does begin to look as though it would take about every other man to enforce it strictly and the cost will make the war debt look like mere small change.

The Ebert government of Germany has blown up and the old line government fellows under von Kapp have taken over Berlin with one govern ment, while Ebert is doing his governing at Dres- den for the time being. The allies are looking on and keeping hands off with view of making whatever government that obtains control pay for war amusement on the old terms. It looks like case of "dog eat dog" to the allies.

CROP PROSPECTS

EARLY INDICATIONS POINT TO

FALL.

Boise Valley should experience that
best year of its history SO far as crop
production is concerned, according to
T. M. Nichol, local real estate man,
who last week made extensive trips
over the entire project.
Farmers are using enormous guam
titles of water. said Mr.. Nichol Sat
urday. 81 do not recall that have
ever seen the bitches everywhere on
the project carrying the amount OF
water that was running through them
last week. Everywhere farmers are
busy with the work of irrigation.
Boise Valley farmers have never
enjoyed better prospects for bumper
wheat and hay crops" Mr.. Nichol
continued. The fields everywhere are
in exceptional condition for this time
of year and the stands everywhere
lare extraordinarily good"
Asked regarding the fruit situation
Mr.. Nichol said that difference Of
opinion prevailed as to the severity
of frost injury. In some sections, fruit
growers held that all tender fruits
were destroyed while in other places
lit is believed that fair crop Of
peaches and apricots will yet be ma
tured. Apples are now in full bloom
and, together with the remainder oil
the harder fruits, give every indica-
ton of producing bumper crop
1t is rather too early as yet te

meeting here Saturday afternoon, dc
termined to exercise every possible
precaution to insure this district its
Just quota of cars when the potato
crop is ready to move this summer.
Last year, conservative figures
place the potato loss of Canyon coun-
ty at rs cars or about $4,000, all Of

growers to obtain transportation fac

According to w. H. McCluskey, a
member of the executive committee,
Canyon county has potato acreage
