This is only a single instance.
Somewhere filed away in Washington
are the. complete records Of those who
went from Canyon county and every
other county in Idaho. There is no
duplicate record. Nothing is available
here to get figures or facts relating
to any Of the men sent from Caldwell
or anywhere else. With the American
Legion rapidly developing and assum :
ing more and more importance in
both national and local affairs il is
more than essential that these records
be available.
Government is an endless chain of
red tape. Of things done according to
regulation without regard to facts sur
rounding specific instances. There Is
more nonsense in one transaction Of
the federal government than would
characterize private enterprise in 10
years. Because of the inability to
care for little things and the bunRles
that have been made of which daily
come to light, It Is diff
cult to imagine that things OF more
moment have happened?

A GREAT. FIND.

The shipping boards announcement

which everyone had overlooked, turn
ed up unexpectedly the other day, is
the best news we have had from that
organization in good many months.
Il seems from the rather cryptic an
nouncement that the money had been
advanced on various contracts, and
when the books were balanced. q lit

strange manner. slipped onto the

was that instead of showing q neat
little credit the board discovered it.
self in debt.
OF course there was no occasion to
worry. The board promptly COM
municated with congress and asked
for $l2s, 100000 to keep things moving
along on schedule. Congress, it ap-
pears, was on the point Of fitting the
treasury with its usual generosity,
when the great discovery was made.
To the credit of the board let it be
said that the request was withdrawn
forthwith. What were the emotions
of the members OF the board. or of
those parsimonious Republicans at the
capitol, when the money turned up

of knowing; but We doubt not that ev-

BUNGLES.

Just at present one of the pleasur-
able vacations is throwing stones at
the various departments of the United
States government which were most
active in conducting the red tape of
war business. Secretary Daniels is
quite in the limelight and more than
frequently someone urges that lamp
should be turned squarely on the war
department. '0U
There can be no question that some
startling things would come to light
One doesn't have to 60 far from home
to find specific indications of iudivid-
uals who have become apparently in
extricably enmeshed in the endless
tangle of army red tape. And some
times grave injustices have been done.

The name Of the lsl6ky one who
made this great find has not been d.
vulged Il should Be. He should
have a medal. We ssa sure that Mr..
Baker or Mr. Daniels would be glad
to make the award, even though the
shipping board has no medals for gen.
'eral distribution. There are plenty
Of medals at the war and navy depart
ments. We doubt not that this bit Of
good luck will cause chairman PAYNE
to institute general search of his
officers; a. well ~ Of yards. in the
hope OF turning up more sums that
might have been mislaid by some
bookkeepcr or clerk.
This bit Of luck had barely reached
the press before the Attorney General
announced that some Of his sleuths
had uncovered great conspiracy to
pad the cost of ships built by the
board on the Pacific coast. Until the
cases reach the courts il will be i'm
possible to estimate the amount of
graft, or the probability of recovery.
Chairman Payne scoffed at the su9
gestion that it would run into BIZ
lions. We do not blame him. It could
not have been that much because that
would be greater than the aggregate
OF the contracts involved and we are
quite sure that the grafters did not
expect to get the entire sum. It ap-
pears, however. that some millions
may be involved, and we feel quite
satisfied that the country viii be de-
lighted to get them back.
Frankness prompts the statement
that we are not surprised at these I'm
pleasant revelations. There NAV be
more in store for rs.
Altogether. the shipping board han
died about 5000 900, 600 of the public
funds. The war department expcndi-
lures were many times as great. It
might be an excellent thing to detach
fro mthe shipping board the gentle
man who found the hundred million
and let him snoop around the CORR
doris Of the war department for week
or so.-Haryey's Weekly.

GOOD WORK.

Some time ago, Caldwell was turn
ed up side down when Christmas
stag" party was raided by couple
OF holdups. lnstantantly the town,
long smoldering, burst into flame with
q demand that the gambling vice,
which had admittedly been running al
most wide open, be squelched aud
other stringent regulations, on the
statutes apparently to be smiled at
and ignored, be rigidly enforced.
Nothing is to be served by failure
to admit the prevalence Of the prac-
ticc Of gambling. 1t had really be-
come serious situation and one that
might, with slight provocation, have
developed tragedy. Something I'm
expected and horrible 10 always the
outcome Of too great lenience and
prolonged ignoring OF some partic-
urafly rampant condition such a. that
which was rapidly eating its way into
the heart Of this citv.
Nor was gambling the only thing.
Responsibility tor cleaning UP the
town. perhaps the county, restcd
sQuarely upon the shoulders Of Curtis
Hayden, county attorney. While the
city council determined to act upon
the matter with vigor, It was easily
obvious that If anything was done, It
must Come from county officials.
To the credit Of Mr.. Hayden It must
be said, that without creating the US
ual nasty an dobjectionably aspects
that such clean up generally carries
with It. he has been able quietly and
without fuss to do the job just % ef-
fectively, just - thoroughly - Il he
had dragged the matter in ito deeper

Ten men work a piece of ground.
They have been working ten hours a
day. They decide to work eight hours
a day. There result two hours loss in
production for ten men, or a total of

pletcd the season there has been a
total loss Of 1870 hours. If the men
are to receive the same returns for

who pays the ten men in advanced
prices for their production what they
formerly received when working the

a producer. To enable himself to buy
the products of the ten men working
shorter hours, he in turn must charge
more for his services for an 8hour
day than he formerly did for lO-hour

THE REAL ISSUE.

They cay, wisely, OF politician that
he must have publicity. II he cannot
get favorable press notices, bad il
better than nothing. Perhaps that Is
something Of the reason that Is act.
uating Henry Ford In seeking the
lime light again through the prosccu-
ton Of Senator Newberry OF Mich
igan.
1t Is quite obvious that enormous
sums were spent in obtaining that
solonV election. II Is also apparent
that Henry Ford's we'll known aver
sion TO war Of any kind, based upon
any cause, was one of the prime rea-
sons for expanding those sums IN de-
feating the Detroit manufacturer
And Il Is quite probable that The low.
al people Of Michigan voted largely
for Newberry because they were told
Ford would be drag upon Americas
war prosecution campaign.
But these are not the basic reasons
for dragging disagreeable election
campaign into the limelight. II ID
freely admitted by Mr.. Newberry's
attorneys that large sums were spent
in defraying the cost Of the election.
i seems that remarkably efficient
political machinery was developed to
carry his propaganda before Michi-
gan voter and that money was lavish
ly spent in doing It. But it is con-
tended that Mr.. Newbcrry did NOT
contribute one cent to this campaign
fund that thus he is absolved from re-
sponsibility under the law which was
wisely devised to prevent wealthy
man buying his way to coveted pol
itical position.
This trial hinges on whether It is
legal Under the terms of that law for
ones friends to do the things denied
the political aspirant. II Il should
50 be determined, that law which has
done much ii place men Of merit in
stead of wealthy men in responsible
positions Of public trust may as well
be repealed But If that is so, moth
ing will suffice but additional and
more stringent legislation to prevent
possible abuse resulting from possess
ion Of wealth to further political am
bition.

WISE MOVEMENT.

The action OF the Caldwell Com
mercial club at its Tuesday night
meeting in authorizing a concerted cf-
fort Of the business men to obtain
once more Mountain time is com
mendable one. Residents Of southern
Maho have har sufficient experience
with Pacific time this winter to real
ire that il has many serious shortcom-
ings. An attempt to have 1t changed
to the old and much more satisfactory
time should receive undivided sup
port and be prosecuted until that re-
suit is obtained.
The one slaring objection to Pa
cific time In this section Is its utter
lack of harmony with that time the
sun keeps. There is nothing natural
in having the sun set at p. m. Eff
forts Of various municipalities to alter
their time has never been proven eff
fective even under the most pressing
demands and the most favorable cir
cumstances.
People are creatures of habit and
they will continue to live by the clock
that has regulated their day even
with the knowledge that they are I'M
dergoing considerable Inconvenience,
Pacific time is unpopular with farm
ers. It means that their afternoons
arc materially shortened or they must
regulate their lives At least an hour
ahead of the remainder Of the COM
mercial world. For various inductrics
the present method OF time keeping in
southern Idaho is a serious handicap
to production. Particularly in this
true of the numbering industry where
this winter crews have been unable
to work much later than 4 p. m. In
other localities where train schedules
are not a matter to be dealt with,
clocks have never been changed.
Two hours later than the war time
daylight saving plan and an hour later
than even the most radical lie-abed
cares to patronize the feathers is al
together more than southern Idaho
residents care for in the nation
wide frenzy to decker with the time.
Next summer. Idaho will be almost
devoid OF all the customary afternoon
pleasures. Long evenings will be a
thing of the past unless results are
obtained from the evidentally wide
spread desire to revert to mountain
time. Just what significance this new
venture will have on the summer hab-
its of Idahoans can only be surmised
but the prospect is far from pleasur-
able,
All southern Idaho should unite in
aiding this movement.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1920-02-06

Production and production only will
reduce prices and put back old eco
nomic conditions. And that produc-
ton must o fnecessity be the produc-
ton of the one person now working
shorter hours than he did, for the
economic loss made By one individual
cannot be made up BY another.
No doubt the 8hour day i here
to stay and it i right it should. Eight
hours are enough for men to work.
But it is going to take . long time
before the vicious circle ceases to
expand. The 8-hour day disturbed the
economic factors and it will take a
long time for them to be adjusted hon.
estly and uprightly on the new levels.
Meanwhile, people are going to suffer
from high prices and the workingman
will consciously or unconscious1y be
a victim of those changed economic
relations no matter what his wages
may be. The 8-hour day must be made
through travel An dsuffering-and it
is worth it:-but don't "holler" on the
way to it.-Dend D'Oreille Review.
