i BRIGHT FUTURE
FOR MOSCOW SEEN
THE WRITER POINTS OUT MANY
THINGS MOSCOW CAN DO TO
IMPROVE CONDITIONS

This column is edited by p L. Or
quit, Secretary of the Moscow Cham
her of Commerce.
If Moscow will, as we think, live up
to its opportunities, the slogan "City
Beautiful" will have a pulling power
that will attract the most desirable
sort of people. But it will not do to
have visitors feel they have been
handed gold brick. Aside from the
advertising value of such a slogan,
honestly fulfilled, is the hygenic value
to all the people who live in a spot
lessly clean town. Think what it would
mean to Moscow to have reputation
like Eugene, Oregon. And why not I?
No people on earth are more loyal to
their home industries than Moscow
In no town are the citizens more will
ing to cooperate, or more anxious to
see their city forge ahead. 1t is to
little advantage to any of us to send
our business out of Moscow, if we can
get what we need from Moscow con-
Germs, employing home labor, that
lives in Moscow, spends it's earnings
in Moscow, and upon which Moscow
IS dependent for its growth. Before
you give your next printing order to
travelling man, call up your local
printers and talk it over with them.
The Chamber of Commerce is, or
may be, most valuable asset to
city. Why? Because it is simply or
ganized effort. It is intelligent team
work. 1t stops lost motion. 1t brings
together the best thought of city,
and directs the energies of a people
into proper and helpful channels. It
gives live, worth while man some
thing to do that is worth doing, and
brings results that cannot be had by
double the labor and time through in
dividual and .criss-cross effort. How
far do you get when you divide your
team, hitching horse to each end of |
the wagon and pull in oppisite direc-
lions? Only through cooperation can
community attain 100 per cent eff
ficiency. No matter what your place /
in the community may be, to say you
are not interested in a Chamber of
Commerce is foolishness. You are
saying there is no benefit from unity
of purpose; that disorganization is
better than organization; that the way
to move a load is to tie the horses tails
together and stand back and kick be-
cause span of 1900 pound animals,
both true and sound, cannot get any
where. Without cooperation no com
munIty can prosper, and the first man
to suffer is the wage Garner. He must
have employment to- eat, and a dead
town is poor place for him.
Every mail brings requests to the
Moscow Chamber of Commerce for in
formation about Moscow and the Pa
bouse country. These people want to
know about Latah county. They ask
about our crops, about the climate,
yields of grain and grass, our schools,
churches, and the value of land. And
there is positively not thing in the

PERCENTAGE PLAN
PAY RAISE OPPOSED
Unsuitable to D.. c. SaIa-
ries, DR.. BoWerman
Maintains.

Futility of the percentage increase
plan as applied to the salaries of
employees of the District government
Is pointed out by DIR. George F. Bow
erman of the Public Library, in an
article in the Reclassifcationist, is
sued today. Dr. Bowerman deals es-
pecially with the effect such a plan
would have on the library service.
He says. in part:
Peculiarly Unsuited.
1t Is believed that a percentage
increase plan is peculiarly unsuited
to the District government salaries,
since they are, it is claimed, at least
20 per cent under the salaries of
the older federal departments. which
n,..lI later salaries are admittedly too low.
Dlstrlct government salaries are
therefore shockingly low. Even a
fa1rly large percentage increase add
ed to small base results in a small
Total Consequently, to secure any
thing like good results something
the necessities of the case, is re-
quired. That something is to be
round in the schedules of the re-
classification report. 1t is not a per-
feet plan. but if applied to the Dis
trict service-particularly to the low
paid rank and file of that service
1t offers greater relief than is to be
found in any percentage plan.
THE futility of the percentage plan
is shown by it's application to the
Public Library service, probably the
worst paid in the scientific, technical
and professional or in the clerical
group of the federal or District gov
ernment. 1t has been suggested that
the District proposals should call for
an increase of 33 1-3 per cent over
present salaries. Such a plan has been
worked out experimentally for the
Public Library salary schedules with
results that show the entire made
quacy of such percentage proposal.
Nolan Minimum BILL
'Inasmuch as the Nolan minimum
wage bill, fixing $1,0S0 as a minimum
wage for decency. has twice passed
the House of Representatives by
overwhelming majorities and only now
fails of being law by reason of a fili-
buster in the Senate at the close of
the last session, it is reasonable to
predict that the salary legislation to
be enacted next winter for the Dis
trict government will not carry salary
schedules less than the Nolan mini
mum wage standards. But what does

YOUTHFUL PRISONER
PLEADS NOT GUILTY

This morning, at a session OF the
district court. Attorney l.. G. Wilson,
representing Norman Willis, appeared
in court and moved that the order
committing Willis to serve one year
in the Industrial School, at Elko. be
vacated. The motion was sustained
by Judge Callahan, as was another
motion that the defendant be allowed
to withdraw his former plea of guilty
to the information. to that of not
guilty.
Willis. who is but eighteen years
old, is the son of former Constable
Willis. of National, who arrived in
winnemucca yesterday from Payette,
Idaho, where he now resides.
Young Willis claims the reason
for his being led astray is the fact that
H. P. Layton, his accomplice in the
crime of stealing an automobile from
Quinn River Crossing, exerted not
only great influence over him, but
did threaten him bodily harm If he
refused to plead guilty to the first
information. Layton has been COM
mitted to the state penitentiary. at
Carson. having been taken there yes
terday by Sheriff Springer, to serve
an intermediate sentence of from two
to fourteen years.
Bail, in the case of Willis, was fixed
at $500 and was furnished and ap-
proved by the court. The trial has
been set for October 5, before a jury.
