BUILD LARGE BRICK ADDITION
c. ID. Simonds To Build In Rear
of Present Store.

c. ID. Simonds has made definite
plans for the construction of a brick
addition to his drug store building
and the work of driving piling will
start probably tomorrow.
The addition will have go feet
frontage on Bonner street and will
be 25 feet wide and this will give
the Simonds Drug store building di-
mensions of % by $50 feet. The adj
dition will be built on the day labor
plan at an estimated cost of $6,500.
1t is also possible that Mr.. Simonds
will make a two story Structure of
the addition with the idea of using
the second floor for storing purposes.
He plans to remodel the building
now facing on Bonner street to pro-
vide for an entrance opposite the
postoffice. Many interior changes
will also be made for the convenience
of patrons and the clerks. Mr.. ST.
monds has been contemplating the
building of an addition to his build
ing for some months as his business
has been increasing rapidly and he
is finding that his present quarters
are not large enough for the stocks
he is carrying.
The frame residence on the site
of the new building, was sold to w.
w. Ferbrache and will be moved by
him to lot back of the International
hotel.

to the high standards of American
citizenship and to direct public
thought into channels of conserva-
tion and sane adjustment of the vari-
ETY. of problems that are before the
people today, the solution of which
is being urged by certain agitating
agencies along most dangerous lines.
The reception of American Day by
the people Of Idaho is only an added
bit of evidence of the fundamental
common sense and the unyielding
loyalty of the people of this state.
1t is regrettable that it is always
possible for the political demogogue
and professional trouble maker to Sc
cure some adherents, but when means
are taken to call attention to the
vital principles of government and of
our industrial and social life, all of
which are menaced by the vicious
doctrines that are proposed as sub
stitutes for intelligent disposition of
these questions, the vast majority
of the American people have always
responded on the side of orderly and
wise disposition of these issues and
have thus answered those who profit
by disorder and who would lead the
public away from safe paths. AS in
the nation so it is in Idaho

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
TOMORROW AT COEUR D'ALENE

o. G. Wilson left today for Occur
convention to be be held tomorrow
for the purpose Of electing delegates
to the national convention. Mr.. Will
son was elected delegate from this
county to the state convention and
G. w. Spoerry was elected alternate
delegate, at the county convention
held April 7th. G. w. King, county
chairman of the republican central
committee, will also attend the con-
vention and it is probable that other
republicans of the county will go to
Occur d'Alene.
1t is claimed that an effort will
be made to send an instructed dele
cation for Wood for president from
Idaho. 1t is true that there seems
to be a decided leaning toward Wood
in Northern Idaho but so far little
is known of the attitude of the dele
gates from the south end of the
state. The Wood supporters, how
ever, do not plan to insist upon an
instructed delegation.
Most of the republican leaders of
the state will be in Coeur d'Alene
tomorrow to attend the convention
and confer regarding political mat
ters. Men who plan to become can
didates for office in the coming fall
election, viii be on hand.
The candidacy of A. Fl. Conner,
of Standpoint, for nomination on the
republican ticket for U. s. senator,
has received the endorsement Of sew

SOLD LIQUOR TO AN INDIAN
Jumbo" Pleads Guilty To Charge
In Probate Court Thursday.

Sing Mon, a Chinaman who has
lived here for many years and bet
ter known as Jumbo" was fined
S100 and costs and given Jail SEN
tence of 80 days in Jail last Thurs
day in Probate Judge Henderson's
court when he plead guilty to the
charge of selling Intoxicating liquor
to an Indian.
Jumbo may be taken in charge by
federal authorities on the charge of
selling intoxicating liquor to Indians
after he has served out the probate
court sentence.
Jumbo was arrested by Sheriff
Dunning who had complaints from
the Indian Mission that the Indians
were receiving intoxicants, presum-
ably hard cider. Sheriff Dunning
and Deputy Sheriff Fry arranged
with one of the Indians to try to
buy some of the intoxicants being
sold and Jumbo was paid with
marked silver dollars. Immediately
after the transaction Sheriff Dunn
ing arrested Jumbo who acknowl-
edged his guilt and asked to be al
lowed to plead guilty.
When Jumbo was arraigned in pro-
bate court, Charlie, the Indian who
had purchased the whiskey, told of
how he bought the stuff and Martin
Fry acted as Interpreter.

nounced that G. w. Beale of Wallace,
might also be a contender for the
nomination. The northern counties
Of Idaho, at each successive election,
have tried to secure a more equal
representation among the elective Of
fices and for many years the re-
publcans of the remainder of the
state have agreed to give the north
the field If the north would center
upon one candidate. The north has
not been able heretofore to center
upon a man and there has always
been a split of northern support. In
the reported condidacy of G. w.
Beale it seems the usual situation
will arise. This situation, however,
may be a political move of central
and southern Idaho republicans who
want the senatorial nomination them
selves, to split the northern support
for Conner. The friends of Conner
may be able to stem the proposed
Beale boom between now and the
time of the state nomination conven-
ton to be held several months hence.
There have been no more new de-
vlopments among the aspirants for
state offices. 1t seems likely now
that d. W. Davis will be the only
real contender for the nomination
for governor. John w. Eagleson,
state treasurer, and Speaker Kiger,
Of the last legislature, have an
nounced their candidacy. Eagleson
and Kiger will have their following
among the usual Tumker of incom-
petents who always look to each
new administration for a soft pohti-
cad lob and who We're disappointed

year will be observed as American
Day. This patriotic suggestion which
was taken up in Idaho by the Unit

Governor Davis issued a proclama-

MONEY SPENT
FOR FARMERS
AGRICULTURISTS BENEFIT FROM
HIGH TAXES IN THE
STATE OF IDAHO
OVER $l,365,O0O FOR BIENNIUM
Increase and Make Appropriations
For All Farm Projects.

Miles Cannon, commissioner of ag-
rlculture, recently made public some
interesting figures in which he shows
that the Idaho farmer receives ST.
lao, ,146.64 during the 1919-192O bien-
mum out of funds received in the
state from the county and state
taxes.
According to Mr.. Cannon's state
ment the total amount Of nnblic
money used in support of Idaho agri-
culture for the biennium is $780,
399. "a, declared the agricultural de-
partment head. 1t is itemized brief
ly as follows:
Appropriations by state S263, 1876 90
Predatory animal taxi. 129 1863 90
Fees re-appended ......,....... 50,S65.64
University extension appro-

County bureau work (di-
rect tax .......................... 215.339. 90
From federal government. 225, 5,243.0 90
Of this agricultural money Idaho
taxpayers alone furnish $1,14O.146.64,
in addition to their share in the
S225, 1858 given by the nation as
whole.
More surprising figures are un-
earthed in the discussion of the $685.
1875 appropriations for the 1919-1920
biennium. Commissioner Cannon as
serts that this represents an increase
of S164,000 over appropriations made
for farmers in the previous biennium
which appropriations totaled $99,105,
exclusive of the estimated predatory
animal tax" which is not considered
in either aggregate.
In tabular form these appropria-
tions speak for themselves, and are

To Be Chautauqua Superintendent

T. S. Kerr, superintendent of the
schools of Bonners Ferry, will leave
about June 1 for Salt Lake City,
Utah, to accept a position as chau-
tauqua superintendent, during the
summer months with the Ellison
White Chautauqua Co.
1t is probable that his territory
assignments will bring him north
through Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
into Canada and returning through
Montana and Wyoming, finishing his
work between August Is and Sep
tember 1.
AS one Of the chautauqua superin-
tendents of the Ellison-White Chau-
tauuua system Mr.. Kerr will visit
nearly all of the important towns
of western states, many of them
educational centers. and will remain
from three to seven days in each
one.

extension and experiment station
work in support of agriculture, the
various counties of the state, through
appropriations made by county COM
missioners in support of county bu-
reaus, show $90,915 for 1919 and
$124,780 ((estimated) for 1920.
Thus the total for university exten-
sion and experimental work from
state and county taxes is $696,777,
With federal aid of $225,253, this
branch will spend 1922 ,030 on Idaho
farmers in the beinnium.
Commissioner Cannon figures the
total increase in appropriations for
the extension service this biennium
to be 319,983. This is based upon in
formation from the extension division
itself and from other sources, and has
been carefully itemized by the COM
missioner. The items are not includ-
ed here.
Adding the extension increases to
the department Of agriculture in
creases, one finds that the Idaho far
mer is receiving during the 1920
biennium S4S4,013 more than he re-
ceived in the two years previous.
Thus his total of S1,140,146.64 is
made up largely of money for addi-
tional service demanded bv the farm
er this year in addition to his former
demands. Commissioner Cannon
thinks this fact is a large contribut-
ing factor to whatever increase there
may have been in taxes.

Sunday evening next, May 2, at s
p. m. at X. p. hall, Bonners Ferry,

IN observance of American Day.
Governor Davis recently designated
May ! as American Day and request
ed that fitting recognition of the de-,
be observed. The meeting on Sunday
evening at X. p. hall is in the carry
ing out of the governors suggestion
but it is thought that a more general
participation by our citizens can be
had by holding the meeting on Sun
day evening than on SATURDAY.. A
number of short addresses appropri-
ate to the occasion will be delivered
and an attractive musical program
has been arranged. There will be
no charge for admission nor will any
subscription or collection be taken
The loyal men and women of Bon
ners Ferry are most earnestly in
vited to turn out and take part by
their presence in this expression of
their Americanism. We have shown
in days of stress that we are able
and willing to meet the enemy who
seeks to overthrow our institutions;
let us show at this meeting that our
belief in those institutions is not
merely a sentiment of the moment,
but is an abiding faith. To use
Governors Davis words, let this
meeting be an enthusiastic demon
stration of our good-citizenship.

Unionism vs.. Art
The Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After reading "Unionism VS.
Art" by Harold A. Caparn, in your is
sue of May 4, I think his letter
should be given wide publication in all
the architectural and engineering
periodicals of the country. l also hope
he will find enough of those who, as
he states, desire to create and not
destroy, to fight and stop this attempt
to form draftsmen's union, at least
the architectural craftsmen.
I, for one, do not believe it pos
sible successfully to work out pro-
gram of unionism that can be of any
benefit to the profession. Mr.. Caparn
gives very clear, concise description
Of the two types Of craftsmen in the
profession to-day, and as one who has
been approached to join the movement,
may / add the following?
do not believe it possible to grade
a mans worth in dollars, which is one
of the main issues of the union. Archi-
lecture, as Mr.. Caparn states, is per-
sonal and cannot be standardized-so
is the part therein taken by the drafts
man who desires to create One must
realize that he has to work. and take
a personal interest in that work, so tn at
it will not only be credit to his en-
ployer but to himself as we'll. It is no
credit to him to have his position as
sured and protected by the union as
long as he pays his dues and does the
limited amount of work required by his
union.
One must always keep his eyes open
IN this or any other business to sue
coed, and the majority of drafts
men who want to unionize have not
the personal interest to take advantage
OF what they do see, but simply want
to be graded up to a position without
any additional effort on their part be-
yond their worth. firmly indorse Mr
Caparn's plan that those of US who
nave our eyes open should get to-
gether and fight.
II this contemplated union had for
us main factor quality-which it clear
~ shows it has not when it affl;atos
itself with the American Federation Of
Labor-lt probably would be received
with more favorable consideration bv
the architects.
AS it looks to-day, if the building
unions continue on their present ram
page II may not be long before the
craftsmen will be able to Join the
union without opposition-but on tho
"outside."
