STREN0THENS THE
ARGUMENT.

The attention of The Tribune has
been called to the fact that there still
remain possibilities of financial loss
for Boise valley farmers because of
curtailment of the water supply this
week. Fruit, the third hay crop and
pastures, it is said, will suffer. Which,
after all. only adds emphasis to the
argument that the New York canal
should be enlarged to the extent that
it can keep Deer Flat full during the
normal run-off period of the Boise
rives.

cratic policy toward invading Next

ONE LIVE BUNCH.

In Caldwell there is an organixa-
ton of real estate men which seems
destined to become a considerable
factor in the future of Caldwell's
development. Small from the stand
point of membership, the local realty
board has punch and enthusiasm
that other organizations. operating
for identical ends, lack.
There must be starting point for
every civic undertaking. OF late, it
must be conceded that most of the
proposals looking to the advancement
of this community have originated
with this small but energentic group
of representative Caldwell business
men.

estate man is looked upon as virtual

culturally, of its history. Prices,
while perhaps not so high as had been
hoped, continue good for Boise val
iey's fruit, grain and potatoes. There
are few dark spots to mar the pros
poets for a bright future.
That confidence in continued bust
ness conditions prevails needs no bet
ter evidence than the prosecution of
building, in spite of frightened money
and prevailing high costs for both
material and labor, which promises
this year to actually exceed in Caid-
well, the high water mark set in 1919.
This is an agricultural country and,
a. such, 10 not influenced by adverse
economic and industrial conditions as
quickly as districts whose business
welfare depends on other sources of
wealth production. But business men
generally are firm in the belief that
good business conditions will con-
tinue. Typical of this sentiment is a
recent statement made by Governor
Harding of the federal reserve bank
ing system. Always conservative, Mr.
Harding is almost enthusiastic re-
garding the outlook. In part, he said !:
"As far as money and credit
for moving the crops is concern
/ ed, it is only fair to say the coun-
try has never been in so good a
position as it is now. Financial
preparations for crop movement
are much farther advanced than
they ever were. This is the gen.
eral opinion Of the banks in the
great agricultural centers. There

business conditions will continue
E. to operate for some time to come,
though all our advices show that
these distractions are easing off.
We must remember that there
has been an immense waste of
human energy and of the pro-
ducts of production. The people
at large are now awake to the
necessity of production. They
are saving more. With little
relief in the railroad car shortage,
we should witness general cas-
ing of credit conditions"

Houston added, how ever that the ultimate loss would be only s25. 100000, as much of the original loss would be regained through the sale of stocks and subsequent taxes on them. The secretary estimated that 35,000.000 collected irf 1918 would have to be refunded and s70.000, GOO would be lost on 1919 taxes.

 Aggregate losses for 1918 and 1919 under exemption to personal service corporations will approximate $2,000. 900. involving 2500 corporations, the secretary wrote, adding that the need for immediate legislation to meet this situation arises mot so much from the possible loss of revenue as from the obvious undesirability of permitting 2500 corporations and their stock

 wealth of the nation; and that started a long time ago.
 Now that we have got today is sim ply the result of the indifference and the blindness only of d group of people Tn this country who, not by divine right, but by human development, ought to be the real leaders and the dires:ors of affairs in the United States. In a monarchy or in an au- tocracy you have a leadership which may or may not be intelligent In a democracy you have got to have a leadership to save the democracy that must be intelligent. Sometimes that intelligence takes the form of supe- riority in statecraft or in politics; more often, in the present day, in in dustry and commerce. The leadership in the government of the United States ought to be vested in the men of affairs who are conducting and di- recting the industrial and commercial life of the nation. The reason that this is not already the rule is not be- cause of the inferior capacity of these men. but because of their indifference to the fact that they are living in a democracy.
 America's Curious Situation
 The United States presents the pe- culiar spectacle of having S3 3-5 per cent of the taxes of the country paid by men engaged in manufacture and barter, who have less to say about the conduct of the nation than any other particular class. The wealth of the United States is at present increasing at the rate of s25O.000 an hour, or SS7.70 every time the clock ticks. We are one sixteenth of the worlds popu- lation; we do a little more than one sixth of the worlds manufacture; we are the granary of the whole world, and we do three fifths of the worlds at the present time. Who do this? Who developed all this? It was men who had the genius for organiza- tion. and provision carried as to the result of a certain attempt or a cer- tain investment.
 'sWhile the business men of the United States were engaged in planting banks and building railroads and canals. and developing the territory and developing resources for which they were to be excoriated. they forgot that they were living in democracy, and democracy is simply a govern ment of you and me; and they left the of the rules and regula- lions of the game to the other fellow.
 lncompetsnts in Politics
 There grew up in this country. un- a group of incompetents who played the game of politics be- cause they could not play the game of business and succeed in it, and the result was when you went into the big zest engagement this country ever par .icipated in, the world war, you had the sixty-fifth congress of the United States conducting the great corpora ton of the United States through the world var, and in the lower house of that congress you had 27 men who never earned 5000 a year until they

 Borah Quotes Hoover and Bryan
 Herbert Hoovers memorandum to President Wilson opposing American representation on all of the commis- sions under the peace treaty was read into the congressional record by Sem ator Borah, who declared it is "indefi- nitely stronger indictment against this program than it has been able for an irreconcilable to make" At the re- quest of Senator Hitchcock, admins tration leader, statement given out today by MT. Hoover relative to the memorandum also was inserted into the record. In that statement, Mir Hoover saic he had modified his views as to American representation on the separations commissions.
