Citizens of United
States Will Not
Need Passports

American citizens entering or leav-
ing the United States no longer will
be required to obtain passports or
permits, the state department an
nounced, after receiving an opinion
by Attorney General Daugherty.
Aliens leaving the country may also
do SO without permits, but passport
control remains in effect in the cases
of aliens entering the United States.
The opinion was called for to
clarity the situation resulting from
the inadvertent action of the last
congress in terminating the passport
control act Of 1913.
The state department. however,
was said to consider 1t advisable for
Americans planning to go abroad to
inquire of foreign diplomatic and
consular officers what documents, If
any, would be accepted by their
countries in lieu of regular pass
ports.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Boise Valley Fruit
Only Slightly Dam
aged By Late Snow

Altho frigid temperatures have
been registered since Sunday morn
ing, when q snow storm swept down
ON Boise valley, fruit was not far
enough along to be seriously in
jured, according to the opinion ex-
pressed by several fruitgrowers Mon
day.
Early ,apricots, already in bloom,
and some peaches have probably been
killed, but the majority of the fruit
is safe for the time being it is
thought. Had the storm come two
or three weeks later serious losses
would have been felt, fruit men say.
Sheepmen, who have started their
flocks toward the summer range in
the mountains have undoubtedly lost
a number Of lambs due to the sudden
drop in temperature, altho no reports
of big losses have been reported.

Member of County
Central Committee
Expresses Opinion

w. E. Jordan Of the Republican
county central committee and men,
ber of the tax commission was not
present at the meeting of the Repub-
lican central committee when the re-
port of the tax commission was pre-
sented. 1t was an error on our part
in listing him as one who was
present.
Mr.. Jordan, in discussing the re-
suits, said that he considered that
the tax commission had fulfilled his
instructions when 1t investigated and
reported to the central committee.
He did not think it was the function
of the central committee to demand
the assessors resignation at that
time, since they were merely the
servants of the public and the public
had not yet received the report nor
passed their judgment upon it.
Mr.. Jordan thinks that when the
public has received the report and
thought it over and have had
chance to instruct the representa-
tives in the county central committee
as to what their wishes are in the
matter it will be time enough for
the central committe to hold a meet
ing and consider whether or not they
shall ask for the assessors resigna-
tion. He thinks it might then be
their place to communicate their
wishes to the board of commission
ers and ask them to ask for the
resignation of the assessor if they
decided that that was what the peo-
PIE wanted and if they were justified
in removing the officer Mr.. Jordan
did not think our attitude on the
matter was the correct attitude in
expecting that the central committee
should receive the report and reach
decisions Immediately and act upon
them.

BACK FROM SALT LAKE

w. H. Scott and wife returned
Monday evening from a visit to Salt
Lake City.
Mr.. Scott says he has observed
that business is Stacking up consider
able and thinks much Of 1t Is due to
the adjustment of wages among
working men. He pointed out that
the closing Of the smelters Is laying
of great many men at the smelters
but 1t Is stopping the shipments of
coal that supplied the smelters and
stopping the mining Of that much
coal is responsible for laying of Of
the rairload men handling the coal
and this in turn affects some shop
men and it all has an effect on the
consumption of goods produced by
people who raise food and who oper-
ate in the factories. He says that
every dollars worth of business that
is suspended reacts in such way
that 1t suspends several other dol
lars worth Of business and the
pyramiding of those things is having
a very SOLDERING effect.

Normal School Moved

The state normal school now To-
Gated at Albion is to be moved to
Burley. Considerable trouble has
been experienced in securing suit
able location for the school at Bur-
ley. The people at Burley seem to
think the school will be an additional
expense on them. However, they are
very anxious to have the transfer
made. This is very good thing for
Burley and will be very good thing
for the students attending the school.
Albion is located about twenty miles
off the railroad and the road leading
to the village is very unfavorable,
due to the steep incline the last five
miles. The school will be far more
popular now that it is in a suitable
location.
The state normal school is con-
sidered one of the best institutions
of it's kind in the west.

provided for this purpose. He then
rifled the cash drawer in which all of
the banking funds were kept. This
he also added to the pile in the pill

was able to free his hands and feet
and Immediately made q dash for
