Wouldn't it be great if our county

money to build playhouse" as an
old man termed it? We would by far
rather have a school for our primary
pupils to attend than to have an in
door court to play basketball in.
What plan will be found next to use
the school money? If this county is
so deep in debt that we can't have
schools outside the corporation of
Lexington, the officials shouldn't pay
interest on money to build indoor
courts for basketball.
1--WE believe from the above that our
correspondent at Alberton has been
misinformed as to how the indoor
court on the grounds of the High
School was built. The building was
built by the Lexington Athletic Asso-
citation for the furtherance of GYM
nastics and physiculture work in our
school and has not cost the county
of Henderson one cent, the money
having been contributed by live, wide
awake citizens of our town and a few
contributors outside Of the corpora

John Jones says ~ can not agree
with you on waiting to April 18th to
plant corn but | do believe in a firm
seed bed" Now we knew some one
would tell us this. 1t has been our OBJ
servation that early paintings of corn
-March-makes good crops but the
extra labor required does not pay. If
there has ever been a time for the
farmer to use his labor to the best ad-
vantage we say it is NOW. The APP
parent prices for farm crops behooves
us to keep the idea of saving on every
thing possible, before US at all times.
Get firm seed bed. Plant corn at a
date that we are sure that there will
be little chance of failure. However,
one might plant South sandy hill
side to corn a few days earlier than
April 18th, in order to have corn for
early feeding. Farm practice in Hen
derson county is the basis for the
above recommendations --

BORAH FOR PRIMARY.

The following telegram from
Senator Borah was received by
Representative Scott Hall:
ut would seem the fair and
honorable way to dispose of the
primary bill is for all to agree
that it should come to a vote in
both houses, so that each men,
ber may record his conviction by
his vote. We should not quar-
rel with our friends who are sin
cerely opposed to primary, but
we who favor it and the people
have n right to ask that the vote
be taken and each man record
his position upon this important
question. | feel it will be a
great mistake not to pass the
bill, hut if the vote is taken and
a majority is against it we mus:
return again to the people for
further instructions.

SENATOR JONES EXPLAINS.

In our issue of February 4th,
the Chronicle printed under a
Boise date line a story, captioned
Senate Repeats Highway Levy"
The story as printed in the
Chronicle was also published in a
number of other papers. Senator
Jones writes that the article as
written was incorrect. In a let
ter 70 the Chronicle he sets forth
the facts in the case. The letter
received reads verbatim as fol-
lows:
Boise, February 8, 1921.
Editor Cottonwood Chronicle,
Cottonwood, Idaho.
Dear Sir:
| see letter in the Cotton
wood Chronicle of February 4th
supposed to be the facts in re-
gard to Senate Bill No. 66 and
in regard to same wish to say
that as the article is written it is
incorrect, in as much as there
never was any contention over
the repeal of the Two Mill Levy
but we asked that this measure
be recommitted to the Road,
Bridges & Ferries Committee
feeling that it was a road bill and
that they had right to have
this bill as it was in reference to
the road program, and introduce
all of these bills at one time, so
that the road program could be
made up in accordance with the
repeating of such part of this
bill that thev saw fit. Also other
provisions that were in this bill
that we would not desire to have
repealed as to the North &
South road, which was declared
neutral zone in Idaho County
and was to be built wholly by
the State and Federal aid. For
this purpose we asked that this
bill be recommitted to the Roads
Bridges and Ferries committee
and the vote stood 19 to "a in
stead of 38 to 5. In the House
since they have recommitted this
bill to the Roads, Bridges and
Ferries Committee, where it be-
longs. We intend to have a
Joint caucus of the two commit
tees which will take care of this
bill if they do not endeavor to
hasten it over.
| feel that the people of Idaho
County have a right to know as
to my action on this bill. This
is an explanation which / con-
slider is due to my constituents
What reason they had in putting
this measure over preceding the
action of the Road Committee
| have not been able to learn.
Yours truly,
SETH d. JONES.

HOUSE PASSED
PRIMARY LAW
HOUSE PASSES PRIMARY
BILL-SENATE VOTE
is IN DOUBT.

Boise. Feb. 14.-The direc,
primary bill, house bill 173, was
passed by the lower house today
by a vote of SO to 10. No de
bate was had. Three roll calls
were taken the first one a mo-
tion to postpone action today,
the second on final passage and
the third to reconsider all three
The insurgents" banded toget-
her as sponsors of the bill were
victorious over the factor that
wished to uphold the republican
state central committees protest
against the bill, and the adverse
minority report of the privileges
and elections committees.
The only clash came on the
floor after Halls motion TO,
immediate reconsideration after
the bill had carried. Callahan,
ON a point of personal privilege
protested against the tactics en-
ployed to force the bill through
without discussion. Hall and
Young protested that Callahan
had no right to speak after the
roll call had commenced. With
the second of Shook, Callahan
then moved to suspend the roll
call, but this was lost by viva
voce vote. There was an air OF
expectancy in the house when
the session opened as the re-
publican state central committee
had gone on record as saying
that the republican convention
held at Pocatello last August
favored retention of the conven-
tion system, resolution to that
effect having been accepted.
There is even this early wide
spread speculation as to what
action the senate will take on
this bill. The primary and
anti-primary forces are said to
be evenly divided there and
while the measure is expected to
meet with bitter opposition the
claim is being made that it has
a strong chance of passage.
1t is rumored an effort will be
made in the senate to bring
about a compromise and SC
amend the bill as to provide the
direct primary for the nomina-
tion of candidates for United
States senators and congressman
as well as all legislative and
county candidates, but to elimin,
ate the primary for state elec.
tive offices permitting then
