TAXES INCREASE
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Local Man Gets Inside
Information From
MP. State

H. B. Weber returned Saturday
morning from a three weeks trip in
western Montana selling honey. They
have three yards at Felicia, south of
Billings and ten yards near Black
foot making about 1000 stands all
together.
When we asked Mr.. Weber about
political conditions in Montana he
said they were warm. He says they
are getting into the bitterest political
controversy he ever witnessed. The
Nonpartisans are trying to capture
the state and are painting very rosy
picture to the Montana folks.
Mr.. Weber said that he OCCASION
ally met somebody from North
Dakota and when he did he always
inquired into political and other
conditions there and invariably they
said that the Nonpartisans were
strong on making promises and very
short in their fulfillment, that they
deceived the people great deal. One
man he talked with had his tax
receipts in his pocket from 1907
down to the present time and he
produced them as an example Of how
the farmers taxes were running. He
said they had just about doubled in
the period. He said they had cut the
levy in two, but doubled the valua-
ton. They have taxed the land more
and the improvements less so that
the total raised among the farmers
was not altered in way to give them
any advantage; their taxes had
doubled. They sa4 the conditions
there are so mixed up and there Is
so much bunk and camoufage it is
indeed rather difficult matter to
follow thru their policies and their
management and arrive at definite
conclusions that are not open to
argument.
When Mr.. Weber learned about
the teachers institute engaged to be
here for October, 1921 and was told
of how it was proposed to feed them
on the fat of the land including
baked apples, pumpkin pies, baked
squash, chicken dinners, apples and
cider he said they would be glad t.
furnish honey on almost any plan
which the local committee might
elect.
1t is likely that the domestic
science department of the public
schools will map out the menu fol
the whole community to follow fol
the week in the preparation Of their
main dishes and it is likely that they
will make use Of and feature honey
in the honey comb. On baked apple
day they will have q chance tt
feature sugar from the sugar beeta
az we'll 90 cream from the bossy cow

FARMERS URGED
TO GO ON STRIKE
FOR HIGHER PRICE
Drastic Action to Bring
Relief to Critical
Situation

Observation-Disclosures q con-
ference of the National Board of
Farm Organizations by Charles S.
Barrett, president of the National
Farmers Union, issued a call for a
strike of farmers throughout the
country, whom he demanded shall
hold their products, particularly cot
ton and wheat for higher prices. In
his call Mr.. Barrett said:
1.-The time has come for action.
The government has failed us and
we now ask government officials to
stop talking price declines and give
us chance to help ourselves.
II have positive information that
the worlds wheat situation is such
that even a slight holding movement
among American farmers will lift
the price of wheat. l know that the
world cannot 60 much longer with
out southern cotton. Within few
months we will have them begging
us for cotton and wheat.
"The farmers Of the country have
been driven to this drastic step to
save themselves. The federal reserve
board would do nothing. The banks
would do nothing. The present price
of cotton and wheat is so far under
the cost of production that it would
bankrupt most southern farmers and
merchants for us to sell now. Those
who have loaned money on cotton
products can and must allow the far
mer time extension"
During the debate which preceded
the call, Secretary Houston of the
treasury department, was unsparingly
condemned by the farm representa-
tives, for what they termed his hos
tile attitude toward the farmer. John
Skeyton Williams, comptroller of the
currency, was praised for his attack
on New York banks for charging ex-
cessive rates of interest.
"A standing committee was ap-
pointed to prepare recommendation
to congress. Among these recommen-
dations will be that the federal re-
serve board be granted authority to
classify loans; that it be permitted
to issue and sell short time securities
based on warehouse receipts and
issue and sell short time securities
based on farm inventories as a sub
stitute for farm mortgages.

Attention Voters

The United States has now granted
equal suffrage and rights to its wom-
en- citizens. Idaho long ago recog-
nized the justice of such action and
amended it's constitution giving
equal rights to it's women citizens.
This is as it should be.
The Republican party has always
prided itself on being fair to the
fairer sex and recognizes the right
of women to hold office in the State
of Idaho.
Our county ticket is made up in
great majority from men candidates
but two women have signif1ed their
desire. to exercise their just rights
and serve in a public capacity. Grace
Falconer, the County Superintendent
and she has 70 opposition, and Mar
garet Ward the Republican candi-
date for County Treasurer. The
Democrats have no lady candidates
and it would seem only right that
the women should be given all con-
sideration and should be elected If
their fitness for the office is re-
quisite.
Margaret Ward, candidate for
County Treasurer, has resided in
Bingham county ever since 1901. She
lis thoroughly competent bookkeeper
and accountant, having served the
Idaho Lumber Company for five
years in that capacity. She is es-
pecially equipped, by education and
experience, for the duties of county
treasurer, having under various ad-
ministrations, for over three years
been a deputy and recording clerk
in the office of the County Clerk,
where she is at present employed,
and having had in addition actual
experience in the offices Of the as
SCISSOR and probate Judge of this
county. Her honesty and integrity,
and her varied experience in county
affairs recommend her as candi-
date we'll fitted for the position to
which she aspires, and there should
be no reason why she could not be
elected to the Office by the largest
majority ever given candidate in
Bingham county.
We ask you the question. Do you
really believe in women's rights? Do
you believe what both parties say
with respect to the uplifting in
fluence of women suffrage and wom-
en- officers? If so do not fail to cast
your vote for Margaret Ward for
County Treasurer and thus prove the
honesty Of yOur position by your
position by works as we'll as words.
Finally to the ladies of Bingham
county, you have the balance OF
power in the ballot, and you should
be interested in voting for one Of
your sex because in many instances
the men are too selfish to give you
what you are entitled to in the bal
lot. Remember the old adage: I'm
union there IL strength"

Must Not Disturb Swans.

Even the highest in the French Re
public must bow before the edicts Of
the French protocol, as Nine. Des-
chanel, wife of the president, learned
when she objected to the presence of
five white swans in the Elysee palace
ponds. The swans, Nine. Deschanel
admitted, were very beautiful, but
nearly every morning early they dis
turbed the rest of the presidents
household, and therefore she inquired
whether they could not be removed.
The chief of the protocol found that
sixty years ago clause was written
in the protocol which provided that
not less than FIVE swans must be kept
in the Elysee palace grounds, for the
feeding of which the keeper of TIE
presidential gardens was responsible
