ENGLAND GOING US
ONE BETTER

There is very gratifying note in
the way the English diplomats have
accepted Secretary Hughes proposal
for disarmament when presented to
the peace commission. Secretary
Hughes proposes that there should
be no further naval construction for
a period of ten years, then allparties
to the agreement would be privileged
to build a few ships for replacement
purposes. The English propose that
instead of giving the privilege OF
building ships at the end of ten years
and keeping up the ship yards all
the time in anticipation Of the future
needs that they should dismantle the
ship yards down to a capacity for
building one ship at time, and let
these ships be under construction so
there would be an economic saving
as compared with Secretary Hughes
proposal, and the limitation OF the
ability to make battleships should be
cut down on this other plan and a far
greater economic saving made than
on Secretary Hughes plan.
The English diplomats have sur
prised us again by proposing that the
amount of U-boats should be cut
down to less than what Secretary
Hughes proposes. They propose that
1t shall be cut down to very much
less than 10000 tonnage for each
nation.
The press reports from the foreign
countries indicate that they are
greatly pleased with Hughes pro-
posa1. They had not expected any
thing SO good as that. They had ex-

he was asked II he was willing that
the press Of this county should pass
out the statement that for q long
term of years In the future with
cheap grain available. pulp would
not be in demand and might be dfs-
carded for use as stock food, said
that would hardly be fair to the
sugar industry to make such an an
nouncement, but that nevertheless
pulp is not SO much in demand this
year because OF the low pxice Of
grain. He says that when grain is
worth 3 cents, pound of pulp is
more desirable than it is when
grain is worth one cent pound.
He does not seem to want people to
forget that beet pulp is good for
feeding stock, but he wants the peo-
pie Of this county to forget for the
present year that beet pulp is desir-
able at the present time. He says
that their estimates. made on the
first Of September, 1921, Indicated
that there would be 100000 tons of
sugar beets in Snake river valley,
above Blackfoot. The unusually cool
weather the fore part of September
and the unusually dry weather thru,
September and October he said, had
greatly reduced the tonnage that was
expected He said it had reduced it
probably Is or 20 per cent, and that
that had changed the situation so
that it made It necessary or at least
advisable to ship some Of the beets
out of the Blackfoot district into
the upper valley. We reminded him
that for sixteen years that they had
always had some perfectly plausible
excuse for taking our beets away
from us and placing them in some
other locality, and in the spring of
the year they had always come back
at us with the request for greater
acreage and in the fall of the year
they had forgotten us and shipped
away our beets and left the pulp and
the employment in other localities.
Mr.. Austin said that it was
pretty deep subject, that the sugar
company was having the fight OF
their life for existence; one had to
have quite a comprehensive knowl-3'
edge Of the whole field of the opera
tion in order to judge correctly about
these matters. He was at the train
and it was pulling out so that our
discussion of the subject was inter-
rupted. Among other things he said
that we had only raised $4,000 tons
of beets here anyway, and that was
not sufficient. and when we re-
minded him that with the continual
tion of the present treatment we
would not raise more than $4,000
next year, he said that would not
severely affect their operations since
they could not stay in existence un-
less there was an increase of acre
age produced for their various fact
cries anyhow, and that the whole |
country is threatened with the loss |
of one of the best industries, II it |

mater of shipping sugar beets out of
this county to the factories at
Lincoln and Sugar City. This activity
has been carried on more or less
thru all the years from 1904 down to
the present time, and always over
the protest Of the people of this To-
cality. The sugar company have al
ways put forth more or less plaus-
ible excuse for it, saying that there
were more beets here than they could

A THANKSGIVING
XMAS STORY

Twenty-three years ago this fall,
the Idaho regiment was in the Philip
pines, helping to uphold the author
ity of the United States, after 800
years Of Spanish oppression, in those
benighted islands. Col. ]. w. Jones
of Blackfoot was in command of the
regiment; P. G. Fjeldsted Of Thomas
was in command of company in the
interior bringing some of the petty
chiefs to time, and making them
behave themselves. Burrell Neider
OF Blackfoot was among them, and
by the way was contracting disease
from which he finally died many
years afterwards, and Clarence
Young, a brother to our present city
engineer, was drinking their bad
water and contracting intestional
trouble, from which he died the fol-
lowing spring.
In September, 1898, some of the
leading citizens of Idaho began to
propose that Xmas packages should
be assembled and sent to the boys in
the Philippines and all Idaho went
to work on this project. Plans were
arranged by which the Xmas boxes
and packages were to be assembled
IN the various county seats, and
from there forwarded to Boise to be
boxed for final shipment. Experts
went to work first to- inform the
public as to what could be shipped
that would not perish or spoil in the
hold Of the vessel on the four weeks
voyage across the sea, instructions
we're given as to how to pack things
and the month Of October saw con-
siderable activity in getting things
packed and shipped.
People writing letters to the boys
in the Philippines, Invariably men
toned that these Xmas boxes and
packages were being prepared to be
forwarded to them. At Thanksgiv-
ing time the boys were receiving lots
OF letters with profuse descriptions
OF the Xmas cheer that was to be
expected a month later. There was
great reviving of spirit among the
Idaho boys, and there was a very
thankful Thanksgiving time In
anticipation Of what kind of a Christ
mas they were to have. A vessel
that was to leave San Francisco at
about Thanksgiving time was to-
carry the Christmas shipments and
that was to arrive at Manila in time
for Christmas, and distribution
would have to be hurried from there
to get 1t out to- the various places
where the men were in camp. About
the first of November the packages
that were in Boise were packed in
boxes, ready for shipment to San
Francisco, and it made tremendous
amount Of stuff. OF course, 1t was
shipped by freight and 1t took the
eighteen days from Boise
to San Francisco. When the goods
arrived there, the vessel had already
departed for the Philippines, and
there was gloomy Xmas among the
Idaho men in those benighted
islands. Xmas came on Sunday that
year and the Idahoans we've the

COMMON SENSE IN POLITICS

The difference between politician and statesman is that statesmans is based upon principle. and a mere politician upon eXpediency.
 statesman thinks in terms of a nation. people, and a period; mere politician m terms of locality. a class and moment.
 X statesman steers by the compass and the fixed stars: politician steers by the weathervane and follows after comets.
 statesman studies the past and thinks of the fn- ulr; he looks both backward and forward: mere poi thinks of public problems only in terms of votes at the particular when he is called upon to make dcc siOnS.
 Statesmen build and politicians destroy. States men the people: the politician flatcrs and swindes them.
 Statcsnanship is the nobc>t of callings; politics which represents only selfish personal amh"n Is the most cOntemptible of occupations.
 Ability does not of itself make public leader tatesan if his motives do not rise above the level of self. ability only makes him the dangerous p"it elan.
