Board Made Trip To Capitol To Confer With
the State Officials to Make Arrange
ments for Filing Our
Application
APPROPRIATIONS NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Director Of State Highways From Bonneville
County Accused of Pigeon-holing
Application

done or attempted, The Idaho Re-
publican announced on the first of
as it should be done in this county
August, 1918, that it was going to
address its energies to the subject
of road construction and did not pro-
pose to quit the subject until the
roads became reality. In practic-
ally every issue of the paper from
that time until the twelfth of April,
1919, there was an article on road
construction as it should be done in
this county, or on road bond sales
to get the benefit of the federal ap-
preparations that had already been
made and which were being absorbed
by other applicants. 1t took The
Idaho Republican eight months and
twelve days working in conjunction
with the board of county commits
sioners who were in accord with our
agitation to put the bond election
across with a definite plan agreed
upon for road construction when we
got the money.
One of the things that stimulated
| interest in the whole proposition
from the first of August and even be-
fore that, was the thought that we
could get federal money and thereby
! get our roads at one-half of their
actual cost. It was our understand
ting that this federal money could be
! obtained and expended upon the
roads where there were rural mail
routes, and we had something like
! a hundred miles of them in the
county. With that condition con-
fronting us, the county commission
ers made their pledge not to expend
any of the money on the Yellowstone
highway.
When it came to making definite
arrangement for getting this money
it was found to be very deep prob.
lem. We had to make application
thru the highway department of the
state government of Idaho, and
have already told you something o1
what we considered the unreliabilitJ

League of Nations Was a Peace Conference
Whose Natural Effect to Work for
Peace Was Through the I'M
plement of War
CONFERENCE PROPOSES TO <DISARM
Nations of the Earth Can PARTY >Disarm Now
and Still Be In Position To Do
Great Deal of[Distruction

were when they went into the world
war. Borah raises the question as
to what then, is the advance toward
peace If we are merely scrapping a
part of the implements of war that
are now growing obsolete.
About month ago this paper gave
review of the statements made by
naval experts showing what could
be dene by airplanes carrying chemi-
cal bombs, toward destroying the
whole population or country
merely by flying over the country
and dropping gas bombs at intervals
on the windward side of the popula-
ton they proposed to destroy. The
poison gas travels with the wind,
sinks into all low places and would
destroy all forms of life that it
touched.
Senator Borah analyses the situa-
tion as it now exists and just about
the same as he analyzed the League
of Nations, regarding the four-pact
treaty that has just been signed at
Washington and says that the net
result of such treaty would be
to start a world war, because it pro-
poses to deal with all the islands Of
the Pacific ocean and to guarantee
what diplomats call the integrity Of
the boundary lines of the nations
concerned. BY this is meant that il
any one nation is concerned in pos
session of an island that 1t holds
title to or that it feels itself the
owner of, each of the four powers is
morally bound to help that nation
to maintain it's claim. The moment
that any disturbance arises, each ma
tion is sure to take notice of the
amount of military and naval force
which they can bring to assert their
rights and back up their claims. If
dispute started over any small or
remote island in the Pacific ocean
all the thousands of islands in the
Pacific would be involved, and all
the nations in the world would be
involved directly or indirectly, just
the same as the assassination of a
member of a royal family in Europe
started the war in 1914.
Senator Borah asks very vital
question, "If people or nations be-
lieve in disarmament, why disarm a
little and stop?" Senator Borah is
in favor of disarming all the nations
of the earth right down to the point
where they simply have enough mill
tary and naval force to act as a po-

Former Blackfoot
Man Says Conditions
AT Buhi Favorable

C. r. Estensen, one Of the owners
of the Racket stores at Blackfoot and
Buhl, spent Christmas at Blackfoot
at the home of his brother, j. r..
Estensen.
He says they have had very good
season at Buhl and things are look
ing hopeful The bank that failed
last spring has some prospect of be-
ing opened again and the country
around Buhl is as good as ever.
Mr.. Estensen says it is his under
standing that their neighboring town
of Burley with is four bank failures
in one year has really been pretty
hard hit. Everybody that banks his
money got into one or more of the
losses and some people used one
bank after another and got caught
in all of the failures, and it does not
help at all to get into that kind OF
a string of i'll winds.

Mr.. Jenkins said that in case they
had to hire any teams to pull them

and with that thought in mind he
invited Mr.. Montgomery to go along

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1921-12-29

Senator Borah made a speech re-
Gently in the United States senate
in which he explained the theories
of the peace conference, including
the one at Washington, the one at
Versailles regarding the League OF
Nations, the Vienna conference OF
1915 and all other peace conferences
that had ever been held.
Senator Borah says that the
League of Nations was peace con-
ference whose natural effect was to
work for peace thru the implements
of war. He says that as long as men
sit down together to consider the
terms of peace, with the idea that
they will use the implements of wal
to enforce the terms of peace, there
will be wars. He says the difference
between the peace conference now in
progress at Washington and the
other so called peace conferences
that have been held, is that the pres
ent conference proposes to disarm
a little. He also asserts that the
nations of the earth can partly dis
arm now and still be in position
to do greater DESTRUCTION in war than
they had usually been before this.
He says too that the implements OF
war are changing so rapidly that the
scrapping of thirty or forty Of the
battleships of the world, would in
terfere very little with waging an
other war. He thinks that the ma
tions now engaged in the peace con-
ference at Washington are not pro-
posing to scrap their best vessels
but are proposing to scrap those
they would not have much occasion
to use II they went to war at the
present time, and each year the wal
is deferred there would be less use
for vessels which they propose to
scrap. Senator Borah makes the
assertion that the means for waging
war are very rapidly changing from
that of battleships and armies tC
aircraft and poison gas. He asserts
that if all the navies of the world
were scrapped, if all the armies OF
the world were disbanded, and their
arms destroyed, all the rifles, all the
cannons, all the forms of artillery
and machine guns, and all the forts
of the world were dismantled, then
in thirty days all the nations that
have good chemical works and dye
works and airplanes or the ability tt
make them could be equipped to en-
gage in war on a more destructive
and effective plan than the nations
