DOING THINGS.

Sometimes in reflective moments,
we stand amazed at the foresight and
wisdom of those pioneers in democ-
racy who drafted the American con-
stitution. Time adds halo to the
figures of those instrumental in en-
volving that epochal work. We are
wont to glorifv personages of the
past, magnify the things they did I'M
til today sometimes we find ourselves
almost suspecting our statesmen lack
the ability to have ever devised an in
strument Of government from the
chaos which confronted the constitu-
tional assembly lao years ago.
Today. with almost analogous con-
ditions, peace treaty and a league
of nations covenant. after months OF
wrangling, are almost exactly where
they were when President Wilson pre-
scented them to the senate for ratifi-
cation.
Can It be possible that the brains
of America TODAY are less qualified to
untangle difficulty of this nature
than were those who gave us the fin
est instrument of republican govern
ment devised until that time?

wailing at high taxes as something OF

not evade. The state is spending

comes in, you cry and fret. You are

Ten years from now You will recall
the times when Idaho put $1,000. 200
into her highways. when Snake river
bridges were built. when Caldwell
paved 30 blocks of her streets. To

SUGAR PRICES SOAR

Characteristic of the blunders OF
President Wilson was his failure last
summer to grasp the opportunity to
purchase the entire Cuban cane sugar
crop for 6. IL cents a pound. He re-
manned undecided until the offer was
Withdrawn. Today without a sugar
policy, the price has gone skylarking
until predictions of % cent sugar for
next canning season apparently have
every chance of being realized.
The New York price on Cuban sug
ar today is IA "a cents per pound.
That means Is cents sugar for the
merchant east of St. Louis and not less
than Is IA cent sugar for the con-
sumner.
The San Francisco price today on
Hawaiian cane sugar from which Ida
no gets its supply is Is cents per
pound to the WHOLESALERS which means
practically l8 IA cent sugar to Cald-
well consumers with grocery men TAX
ing minimum profit.
Because local merchants have been
following policy of I cent per pound
profit on the sugar sold, Caldwell con-
sumers have been able to buy beet SUI
gar at IS cents. Luther Mitchell, To-
cal merchant, who has been following
the situation closely said Thursday
that he fully expected an increase of
2 cents per pound in the cost of beet
sugar and that cane sugar would be re-
duced in price to meet that competi-
ton. Efforts are already being made
by wholesalers through congressional
means to bring about this reconcilia-
ton in the two prices.
One other amazing thing relative
to the present situation develops from
the contention by beet sugar manufac-
turers that IS per cent of their supply
is already in the hands of the dealers
and consumers. Allowing a 10 day
supply to the dealers on an average,
il will not be long until that supply
is exhausted. Cuba viii virtually have
corner on the market at that time
and can set the price artifically at any
figure they chose. II women have any
desire to put up fruit next summer,
the present would seem to be the best
time to buy their sugar supply.

last summer would have entirely
changed the situation and saved Am
