The last legislature passed a law
requiring business houses to certify
the individual members composing
partnerships which have trade names.
Fer instance, the Pioneer Furniture
Store must file certificate with the
county recorder stating who compose
the company and the postoffice ad-
dress of each member financially or
otherwise interested. Certificates
must be filed on or before June 5 to
avoid prosecution. It's fool law, but
it is law nevertheless and must be
obeyed.

PROTECTION OF FOR
ESTS FROM FIRE
Forest Officials and Rangers
Hold Conference on Meth
thods of Handling Fires.

The rangers of the Payette national
forest are here this week attending q
1 meeting called by Supervisor Mains
for the purpose of planning and dis
cussing the proposed organization for
the summer in order that the whole
force may be prepared to handle the
fire situation as soon as the fires
start to break out during June and
July. Each ranger in district must
have his own organization planned
and in such shape that he can cali
upon his men in an emergency and
have them start FOR a discovered fre
within q few minutes notice. In or
der to do this everything must be
planned before hand and in readiness.
AL the roads and trails must be clear
q for traffic n soon as the snow
leaves the mountains. Not only Is it
necessary that the trials be opened,
but approximately 800 miles Of tele-
phone lines must also be gone over
for repairs in the spring and testej
each morning and evening for any
breaks in the line.
The fire protection and suppression
is the most important activity on the
forest and must, of course, be taken
care of first. During the coming sea-
son special supervision will be given
to the prevention of fires caused by
campers and tourists and others trav-
cling through the forests and the for
est officers are determined to elimi-
nate the forst fires resulting from
this source. The state and federal
fire laws carry heavy penalty for
leaving unextinguished camp fires on
the forests and these laws are to be
rigidly enforced by all state and for
est officers.
The forest officers also have. other
varied work to do in connection with
the shove before md 9fter the fire
season and that is supervising the
grazing of 1880 head of cattle and
horses and LIZ, 300 head Of sheep and
at the same time take care Of the
timber sales, and other work. Each
ranger is also q fsh and game war
den.
Besides the local officers the fol-
lowing were present: R. H. Rut-
lodge, district forester, and Charles
D. Simpson, assistant district forester,
from Ogden; John Raphael, forest
Andrew Casner, deputy
and Bill Mccormick, fire
,hief of the Idaho forest at Mccall. |

farmers OF every country are always
the last to be swept away by passion,
revolution or mob hysteria. A farmer
is self efficient if he makes living;
the majority of townsmen are de-
pendent for their daily bread and
breath, their heat, their light, and
their transportation, on some cor
poration, some servant. some caterer.
The farmer is his own butcher, bak-
er, doctor, blacksmith and street
car; also he is his own policeman.
and usually his own magistrate and
grand jury. Consider how few civil
and criminal cases come from the
country; the countryside needs few
laws and few officers, for every man
dwells in his own kingdom, and as
he gives justice to his neighbor so
it is meted to him again as matter
of course.

THE NEwBERRY CASE

About six months ago We stated
our belief in these columns that
Truman II. Newberry, convicted iii
federal court in Michigan for vio-
latipg the corrupt election practice
act, would be given thorough
white washing by the supreme court,
that the case would be dismissed
on technicality; that Newberry
would never serve one day in Jail Or
prison and that he would be permit
ted to retain his seat in the senate
of the United States.
On May End the supreme court Of
these United States handed down its
opinion on the Newberry case. BE
it remembered that Newberry had
been indicted, tried, found guilty and
sentenced to serve two years in the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth.
The court ruled that there were ann
Pile errors in the trial of the case in
the lower court; that conviction was
secured thru misinterpretation of
statutes, and THAT THE LAW WAS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL anyway! The
judgment of the trial court was set
aside and Newberry is free.
Newberry is free! Newberry
whose corruption of the Michigan
state primary of 1918 constituted q
national scandal Newberry, who
entered a conspiracy to violate tho
law, who spent over 100000 to Sc
cure the primary nomination. New
berry whose political record smells
to high heaven-Newberry the re-
publican!
When Victor Berger, socialist, was
legally elected to represent his con-
gressional district in Washington,
he was denied his seat in Congress
because he was under Indictment for
violation of a federal statute. 1t is
peculiar fact that after several
years of delay in court Mr.. Berger
was finally acquitted of the charges
preferred against him. But, because
he was indicted and convicted, Vie
tor Berger was denied his seat in
Congress. Another election was
held. Again Victor Berger was nom
mated and finally elected. For 8
second time he was denied his seat
in Congress. He had been indicted
and was under sentence. It did not
matter that his case was pending
