GOOD ROADS" A SLOGAN

"We Want Permanent Roads" il
the slogan practically adopted by thu
General Committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, Rotary and Kiwani'
clubs, and if the wants of the County
have any bearing, Permanent Roads
VII be all that the Committee will
approve, Chairman Fearnside sale
yesterday.
There seem no good arguments
against Roads that Last" High
increases in market value of the lanC
along the permanent highways is the
history of every Florida county
Rapid progress between various COM
munities over temporary roads is
impossible and no section can show
that there is economy in a cheap
road, when the cost of maintaining
it will pay the interest on bonds for
Good Roads. The Committee is get
ting together information, it is said,
to show the cost of maintaining the
present temporary roads in Putnam
county, the roads to Bostwick, Flora
home, Hawthorne, being taken as ex-
amples. Some INTERESTING figures
may be complied from the records
of expeditures in comparison with
the outlay, up to date, on the brick
highways on the east side of the riv-
err, the Rice creek road and the
Heights route. 1t will probably be
shown that the revenue for the up
keep of the roads has been required
entirely on temporary structures.
The cost of Permanent Roads is
far in excess of temporary roads on
ly at one time. The cost of Temporal
ry roads is low only at one time and
for ever after far in evcess of the
saving between the two types of
Putnam county must have oppor-
tunity to say whether it wants to
put DOWN" roads that LAST or
spend money to KEEP UP" those
that cannot last, even if kept up. The
question will be-Would you rather
PUT DOWN" once, and be out in
front of the State-or try to KEEP
UP" forever and always be behind? |
The highway system now is in the
after predicament. A Good Roads
engineer and real highways is the
answer, according to these active
men on the General Committee, who
laid that Temporary Roads mean
'ut up and shut up, while Permanent
Roads mean put down and keep 60

CHILD LABOR DAY.

In January another national Chile
Labor Day will be observed. 1t.
purpose, as explained by the nationa
child labor committee, is to keep the
big child labor problem before the
people; to make parents want to keep
their children in school; to help fac
tory inspectors and truant officers do
their duty; TO back up the efforts of
progressive school officials and teach
ers; to help clubs, churches, organi-
cations and citizens know the child
labor and school situation and to let
them help in the work.
The national committee realizes
that this is vital matter in every
community, no mater how small or
busy or isolaed. 1t also knows that
to send paid workers and literature
into every place where they are nee
ded would require vast sums of mon
ey which might better be spent di-
rectly for childhoods health and hap
piness.
AS thrift measure the national
committee is therefore asking its
henderson any interested friends
to do voluntarily one of the follow
ing things:
To take press story to local
newspapers.
2 To ask one or more clergymen
to preach sermon on child labor or
make mention of it in some way, on
or near January % or 90.
3 To ask the local school super
intendent or, one or more pricipals
to have an assembly period on the
subject on or near January 80.
4 To ask the local public library
to put up poster before or during
the week of January 80, calling spe-
cial attention to books on child labor.
S To ask one or more clubs or
other organizations to devote a NEE
ting to the subject.
6 To ask each group to make an
appeal for members to the national
child yabor committe, or to make |
contribution to it's funds.
1t is new way to put across a big
undertaking. The work is so big and
the committees confidence in public
interest is so strong that the CAM
paign is likely to prove a huge suc-4
cess.

Accomplishments OF

Since completing the Organization

Cambridge has something to Dc
proud of for so short time.
1t was believed that in ordef W

gressive town, which the Citizenship
has every reason to expect, IL Was
necessary to develop leader LOT 'ne

tered into with Mr.. Gould, the pres

Community Leadership conducted
bv the American City Bureau at tne
University of Wisconsin. During MI.
Gould's absence from the city LOT d

les from organizations desiring plant

them one from a manufacturer OF
barrels. Negotiations for this con-
Germ were carried on through MI.

ed at the present time at ia Race

direction of Mr. Hall, a MEMBER OF

Shortly after we made a request thaI
the freight rates between Baltlnlofe

the B. C. & a. Ry. Co., recognized
the Justice of the request, ana as
result the commodity rates were re-

Unite For Reduction of
Freight Rates or
Farm For Nothing

100000 bushel crop of wheat for Power
County a bumper yield to be sure, the maximum
price for wheat 70 cents a bushel-yet when the
farmer balances his books the railroad freight
charges will have taken all the profit and more That
means years work under extraordinarily favorable
conditions all for less than nothing in the way of
better credit better homes and increased prosperity
Figures prove. beyond a doubt that the present
price of something over 60c bushel for wheat means
an actual loss to the producer. The last wartime
increase in freight rates precuded any possibility of
profit IN the wheat industry
When wheat was selling at So the bushel with
everyone holding out for three daors freight rates
were boosted 80 1-3 per cent to eastern points and
70 per cent to western coast points The railroads
now announces a $400,000000 cut in wages and sal
aries. The government just announces $500 100000
gift to the railroads Surely this must have absorbed
all railroad losses, whether for depreciation freight
losses or labor troubles The railroads then are back
to normalcy as far as operating conditions go The
farmer is also nearly back to normal in his operating
costs.
Then why not get back TO normalcy with freight
rates? reduction of onethird the rate to eastern
points and onefourth the rate to coast points will
put the rates back where they were before the last
the bargain, enough to make his years effort worth
while w. -
Let all interested organizations make a Joint an
peal to the railroads. Time will not permit any other
sort of appeal the relief must come within the next
thirty days. State Farm Bureaus, Wheatgrowers
Associations, Milling Companies, Chambers of Com
merce and State Markets Departments should unite
IN securing special rate over the wheat shipping
period that will give the Industrious Idaho and Utah
farmer an opportunity to make at least living from
his farm. We will have prosperous farmers or soon
we will not have farmers at ALL He will soon become
too wise to work for nothing while exhorbitant
freight rates eat the profit right before his eyes,

POSTOFF|CE IS
NOW WTH|RDCLASS
Paul Bulfinch Announces Revision
That Means Loss OF Valuable Ser
vice To Patrons OF American Falls
And Vicinity.

Reversion of the American Falls
postoftice to an office of the third
class, is announced by postmaster
Bulfinch, the announcement being
dated July first. The change from
the second othe third class means a
reduction in the salary of the post
master and the reduction of clerk hire
in the amount of $500. 1t means
that the office will have to do the
same amount of work as was done last
year with half the clerks.
Postoftice regulations require that
the office must do $4,000 in business
in order to maintain its classification.
The business reported by the former
postmaster for the fiscal year ending
1920 was $3.50, or twenty dollars
short the necessary amount
Mr.. >Bulfinch states that at the pres
ent rate of business flow, there will be
no doubt but that the office next year
will again be raised to second class.

FREIGHT RATES
CONSUME PROFITS
Idaho Producers Claim They Must Go
Out OF Business Iii Present Carry
ing Charges Continue With Present
Market Prices.

Twin Falls, July 11.-Cultivation of
several of the chief crops in southern
Idaho will be prohibitive because of
high freight rates, according to evil
dence submitted by leading business
men and farmers at the afternoon ses-
sion of the rail tariff hearing held in
Parish hall yesterday under the super
vision of H. E. Power, county agricul-
tural agent, and c. Z. Munson, before
Leonard Way. chief of the traffic de-
partment of the state public utilities
commission.
Among the several statements read
into the records, the one credited as
most important was a letter from the
Albert ]. Brown Seed Company to the
Southern Idaho Bean Growers associ-
alton declaring the freight rates from
Twin Falls to middle western and
eastern marketing points made the
contracting for beans in the Twin
Falls tract prohibitive by that com
pany expressed himself as pleased be-
cause of the small acreage contracted
in southern Idaho, adding that judging
by all appearances the purchase and
shipment of the 1921 crop would in
volve material loss. Further con-
tract of seeds, especially beans, is not
contemplated by the company, accord
ing to the communication, unless rail
tariffs are considerably lowered.
Present Rates Spell Loss
w. f. Alworth, Twin Falls, former
president of the farm bureau feder-
alton, introduced evidence showing
that he shipped four carloads of al
falfa hay at loss, at the same time
showing that the rates on commodities
were the same for shipment from
the loading point to an eastern desti-
nation. Alfalfa hay, he said, could
not be grown and marketed without
involving loss unless more equitable
rates are arranged.
There will be no market for south
ern Idaho potatoes if rail tariffs re-
main where they are now, according to
the opinion of II. j. Weaver, Twin
Falls district potato grower, who
showed discrepancy in compara-
tive rates and production costs during
the morning session. Mr.. Weaver
produced figures showing the costs of
production, the market prices and the
rail rates on potatoes for the seven
years, pointing out n difference of IS
per acre in the cost and selling price
ratio. From 1919 to 1921, he said
there was a change from $45 to $53 in
the cost per acre as compared with
the return
