ELKS SHANGHI MYERS

Eight prominent Orofino resi-
dents went to Lewiston on Thurs
day to be initiated into the Elks'
lodge. The candidates were: John
Loseth, Warren Meyers. J. M. Bry-
ant. VIM. Walsh. E. ]. Phillips. w.
A. Shaw. Lester Aubrey and A. M.
Case. These men were accompan-
led by H. F. Ripley. C. D. McEach-
ron. who went along to show the
tenderfeet how to ride the goat"
AS a prelude to the coming cere-
mony, Warran Meyers was initiated
into the mystic realms OF Elkdom
by several local men who picked
him UP on the street and threw
him into a car without hat or coat
and transported somewhat uncere-
moniously to the lodge rooms al
Lewiston. Word has not been re-
ceived as to how Mr.. Myers stood
the ordeal. We are certain, how
ever, that he got his moneys worth
out of the transaction.

improvements amounting to many

Light and Power Co. The capac-

the company's lines will be increas-

These improvements are made

during the past year. This Is due

n. d. Farmer on
the N. P. League
TELLS ABOUT OBJECTIONABLE
LAWS THE LEAGUE CREATED !
AND THEIR OPERATION

Clearwater county farmers who
really want to know some of the
truths about the non partisan league
administration in the state of
North Dakota, should have met F.
S. Davis, who spent the past week
here visiting his cousin, Dell Pip
pinger Mr.. Davis is resident of
Belfield, N. D., and has resided in
that state for about 16 years. He
is successful farmer in every sense
of the word and is interested in
about 400 acres of farm land trib-
utary to the above named town.
Mr.. Davis is an ardent supporter of
the democratic party. possesses a
keen perception and is well posted
upon the political situation within
his own state. He is not an ad-
mirer of the non-partisan league
rule in North Dakota and is not
backward in saying So Like many
other farmers in his state. he did
not work himself into white heat
over the N. P. L., when the leaders
of that organization were preparing
TO carry the state, as he thought it
migth be for good and was willing
to try it,. however, he did not vote
the ticket.
After having been EARNED" by
the league since 1918, Mr. Davis
becomes intensely interested when
mention of that organization IS
made, and feels it his duty to
disseminate the truth about such
to his fellow tillers in Idaho. Some
of the things Mr.. Davis dwells upon
follow:
After the league got into pow
er one of the first things it did was
TO pass law creating an Office
higher than the Office of state
school superintendent The only
candidate elected who did not be-
long to the league ticket. woman
was chosen by a large majority of
the people to fill the Office of state
superintendent Under this law the
newly created Office was filled by
the non partisan league candidate
whom she had defeated, the govern
or making the appointment. Wide
spread objections arose from the
people to another law which vested

CONGRESS TO ADJOURN
BEFORE CONVENTIONS
EFFORTS BEING MADE To GIVE
MEMBERS CHANCE To AT
TEND TO POLITICS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
should be able to adjourn by June 1,
in time for the members to attend the
political conventions or take a long
recess. Every move is being made
in that direction. Tours are being ar
ranged. One contemplates trip
through the Panama canal, ending at
San Francisco in time for the demo-
cratic convention. Another is for
two months trip to the orient, in
Guiding the Philippines and Hawaii.
Both would be taken in government
transport.
Representative Randall of Califor-
wives had promised to go if con-
gress should adjourn. The war de-
partment, he said, had offered trans
portation In his opinion such a trip
MIA is behind the movement to take
the trip to the orient. He said on
Sunday that 116 members and their
would be of greatest benefit to mem
bers of congress called upon to con-
slider the freedom of the Philippines
and other questions.
The trip through the Panama canal
is be engineered by democratic
members, who plan to leave Washing
ton the latter part of May, inspect the
canal and proceed to San Francisco
in time for the democratic conven-
/ ton.
! Inasmuch as the trip is to be
house affair, the senate can not ia
boo the expenditures if it should de-
sire to do so.
| Despite the feeling that congress
will adjourn by June 1, there is be-
lief on the part of senate leaders that
congress ought not to be away from
Washington six months unless the
peace treaty is ratified by that time.

Barney Baruch Breaks
Price of COttOn-One
'Phase" of the Admins
tratiOn Which Senator
Smith Does Not APP
prove.

The Attorney General has offer
ed himself to you as candidate
that you may have an opportunity
of approving "every phase" of the
administration of President Wilson.
There are many splendid achieve
ments of his administration, but
there are things which he has done
which l hope he himself regrets,
ard you are asked to approve them
~ voting for Mr.. Palmer.
Let me call your attention to two
things which l disapprove and that
you can not approve.
During 1918 cotton had steadily
advanced in price until, about the
first of September, it reached thir-
ty-eight cents a pound. The Presi-
dent had a board, called the War
Industries Board, the Chairman OF
which was Mr.. Barney Baruch. On
September 4th Mr.. Baruch issued a
statement that, with the approval
of the President, the War Indus
tries Board would appoint COM
mittee to study cotton with a view
of stabilizing prices. He issued an
other statement September 9th, an
other September 18th, another Sep
TENDER 25th, another September
9th, and they kept on issuing
statements until they had broken
down the nrice of cotton more than
ten cents a pound. Among other
things, they stated in their bulle-
tins that the committee might re-
commend basic prices, and the Pres
ident appoint a single purchasing
agency for all cotton exported; they
would fix the prices this agency
would give; remove all competition
among buyers and force cotton
owners to sell at the prices they
named. This threat, of course,
broke the market.
The armistice came November
18th, and the war was over. Cotton
had been put by the President on
an embargo list, preventing any ex-
portation of cotton except under
rules that he might prescribe. he
appointed, what he called, a War
Trades Board to regulate licenses
for exporting cotton. This Board
continued to suppress exports after
the war was over.
All the Southern Senators except
one signed a petition urging the
President to take cotton off the en-
barge list, and give a chance to our
markets. / saw the President
number of times and called his at
tention, when cotton got down to
about twenty-six cents a pound, to
the danger of bringing ruin, not
onIv to the farmers, but upon the
merchants and bankers who had ad-
vanced upon cotton. Even in March,
1915, when he returned from
France, we plead with him to take
cotton off the embargo list, but he
refused. There was no justification
for his conduct. He and Mr.. Baruch
and Mr.. Vance Mccormack, with
their two committees, broke the
price of cotton in the fall and win
ter of 1918 and 1919 more than
fifty dollars bale, and they cost
the owners of cotton in the State
of Georgia a loss of over seventy
five millions of dollars.
This is one phase of the Presi-
dents administration that / do not
approve. Do you? And yet Mr..
Palmer asks you to vote for him
because he approves it.
