The hillsides must be reafforested.
The waterfalls must be harnessed.
The lands must be brought within the
science Of irrigation. The schools
must be bailt up. The great univer.
sity, the cornerstone Of which was
laid right in the midst Of the war, is
a pride to all Israel. And the He-
brew Technicum, with the most gen.
erous aid Of Mr.. Schiff, was complet-
ed just as the war began, the equip
ment of which has been taken away
by the Turks. That Technicum must
be re-equipped after, through Mr..
Schiff's generous aid, it will be ac-
quired, so the Jewish engineers may
be trained to do the Jewish work OF
the future in Palestine.

sustain in decency and in comfort five
to six million people at the most.
There are at present fourteen million
Jews in the world, and despite all the
pogroms and all the terrors Of life
Of our Eastern European Jews, the
Jews are not in any great danger Of
diminishing in number. A majority
Of the Jews will always remain out
side of Palestine.
Nobody dreams either that there is
today or that when Palestine is estab-
lished there will be, outside Of Pales-
tine a Jewish political nation. There
will be a Palestinian nation predom-
inately Jewish, but Christians and
Mohammedans will enjoy equal rights,
and will, of course, be citizens Of that
land, and that land will be Jewish
only in the sense that the Jews will
be numerically, hope, the predomi-
nant element. But the Jewish people
outside Of Palestine, kin to their
brethren in Palestine, proud Of their
common ancestry, and all Of the
achievements Of the race, proud Of the
bearers Of all of the fine fruits that
will there be developed for the benefit
of mankind, bearers Of this fruit to
the tables Of their own country, Amer
lea, and the countries Of Europe, will,
of course, have no political connec-
ton with the Jewish people or with
all the peoples Of Palestine.
A man can have but one political
nationality, a man can have but one
political loyalty, and that the loyalty
to the country of which he is cit
izen. The American Jew, the Amer
lean Jew of course is and will be ex-
clusively loyal politically to the
United States. But a man is not
merely living, breathing, human be-
ing. A man is not merely citizen Of
the country of his birth or adoption,
and particularly we IN America are
something else, something more than
that. Everyone Of US belongs to one
or the other or more o. the stocks Of
the old world, all Of which have con-
tributed Of their civilization, Of their
development, to the making up Of .
new people under the sun. And the
Jew, the Jew as the Anglo-Saxon, as
the Scot, Slav and Latin, and all Of
these other people, has given Of the
Jewish past to America, and the Jew
cannot cut himself of as no man can
cut himself off from the past. Each
man is heir Of all the ages, and we
Jews of the present day are the heirs
Of all inheritance Of the past five
thousand years, and it is in honor Of
that inheritance, in honor to our an
cestry, in just pride of all Of its
achievements in the belief that a peo-
pie that in the ancient days on their
own soil laid the foundations on which
modern civilization rests, people
that during two thousand years Of the
most horrible oppression Of the world
has ever known, has had the vitality
to live on, to carry on, to persist as q
people. We who belong to that stock
can we'll have faith that when q nu-
cleus Of that people shall have been
re-established on their ancient soil un-
der conditions Of freedom, under the
material conditions which give hope
Of a sound economic future, that that
people, a spiritual people, will again
develop good for the benefit Of all hu-
mainly.

Furniture Facts. Business is Good

Notwithstanding the diversified re-
ports relative to business conditions which
sweep the country, our experience leads
us to believe that people now days are
anxious to buy and are quite as anxious
to buy furniture as anything
Accustomed to the present prices, and
seeming to realize the present scarcity,
many people are agreeably surprised when
furniture prices are quoted. The words
oh, that isn't so bad, is often heard.
Too, there is vast amount of evidence
that plenty Of money is in circulation

the work. We saw danger of heavy
loss in such a move, and we opposed
it. We, opposed it on the broad
ground that it was breaking faith
with the officials. We opposed the
interruption of the work because we
had in some measure Influenced peo-
pie to 60 into the bond road engage
ments on the understanding amount
ing almost to pledge, that the Of
ficers were to plan and RUE IN. the
matter and that the people should
keep their hands off. We investi-
gated the cry of alarm, told the pub
lie 1t was not well founded and we
appealed to the public to stand by
the original understanding that peo-
pie should mind their own business
and let the officers make the roads.
This counsel was acted upon, and
thru seven months of construction it
has prevailed.
With an Open Hand
All the business of road construc-
ton has been conducted with an
open hand, and, the public have been
kept well informed as to what was
doing. This was done both by Of
fetal publications and by special
study and work on the part of the
press. Press representatives were cal
ways given every opportunity to see
and. to know what was being done,
who was doing it and what it was
costing. In most cases there was
a frank admission of whatever diff
ficulties there were confronting the
officers, and nothing was concealed
by the press unless temporarily, for
perfectly proper reasons such as I'M
negotiations for rights of
way, cost of materials or service or
something of that nature where pub
licity right at the time would hinder
the completion of satisfactory ar
and in all these matters |
the press kept faith with the persons
the deals. AS fast as such |
matters were settled, they were made
public. A
Made Some Mistakes
Some mistakes were made in 1919
and some were to be expected. Some
hat have not yet been spoken Of in
his paper are that grades were built
Up with deep barrow-pits by the side
If them in some stretches, where it
either had to be done that way or
Earth had to be hauled in from dis
ance to get the grade to conform
o the plans. These deep pits along
he road are looked upon with more
n less regret because of the danger
hey suggest.

Helped Enforce a Pledge

Early in the period Of construction
there was a cry Of alarm, and an eff
fort was made to tie the hands Of the
officers on the statements of men
who protested to know more about
how to build roads than the officers
did, and more than the men who had
been sought out and employed by
the officers, to plan and superintend

yet we knew that public money had
been wasted and it had been stolen.
We proposed in the face of all these
past experiences, to go ahead, to
leave everything to the officers
elected, and to keep the public as
well informed as we could regarding
what was being done, what the plans
were, and what was being obtained
for the money. The large questions
OF doing the work by force account
)r by contract or doing the hauling
in the winter by means of farmers
teams, these were things we could
not advise people about nor give any
assurance on, but we were emphatic
about one thing stated as follows:
What We Proposed
We proposed that we, the people,
should recognize the fact that we did
not know how to build roads, and
that so long as we all tried to settle
the question it would never be set
ed intelligent1y nor at reasonable
cost. We proposed that the county
commissioners, county engineer and
county clerk should do some travel
ing to study road-building as it had
been done in other places, and es-
pecially where they had similar ma
terials and similar climatic condi-
tons to deal with, and after they had
seen all they wanted to, and con-
suited with everybody they wanted
to consult with, that they should
come back home and decide what
materials should be used in the diff
ferent parts of the county and what
methods should be used for construc-
ton. t .....
Mind Own Business
We proposed that we, the people,
should keep our hands off, that we
should leave it all to the officers,
and that we should go on about our
tasks and busy ourselves
making the money to pay, for the
roads which the officers built. We
proposed that we, the people, should
accept the plans and methods
adopted by the officials, and back
them up in the execution whether
we believed they were the best plans
or not, and never to forget that we,
the people, do not know how to build |
roads and probably never will learn |
until we see roads built. We pro-
posed that we should be modest |
about making claims that our roads |
In Bingham county should be made
Just like some other successful roads
had been built in Indiana or Iowa or
Nebraska or Utah, where they had
different conditions and different ma
terials and different freight rates,
different labor conditions and diff
ferent periods of invention and de-
of road machinery to
draw upon. We advocated leaving
Ill of these problems to the officers
and minding our own business
severely.

Officers Surprised Us

In this matter the officers sur
prised us. They expended a little
less than $500 in travel and study,
and then sent few kilograms and
began to get action on what they
believed to be the right line of pro-
ceedure. They offended few home
fellows by not employing them till
plans were matured, they brought
in some outside talent that had had
experience in road-building, they
spent more money for machinery
than most people had expected, and
they organized a working force on a
scale that had not been contemplated
by most Of the people.

Gave Them a Limit

This paper promised to keep it's
hands off, and to make no protest
if the officers did not expend more
than $4,000 in travel and study of
how to build roads. We said we did
not believe they. needed to spend
that much money for study and in
vestigation, but we promised not to
make a fuss about it till they had
spent that much in that, way. We
said they might not expend more
than $1,000 for that purpose, but we
felt sure they should use some.
