BEING A MAYOR OR
A LAMP POST

Bill Haywood wires that he /.
coming home from Russia and thai
he will surrender to the authorize,
on arrival.
This is delayed smartness on the
part of Bill. He has probably
reached the conclusion that he would
rather be federal prisoner at Fl
LevenwOrth than to be an honored
red" in Russia, If it is possible fol-
the reds to honor anyone. People
who heard the chautauqua lecture
by Tom Skeyhill regarding conditions
In Russia can easily understand how
much worse it must be to live in Rus
STA with the best things obtainable
there than it is to be III an American
prison. Haywood probably went to
Russia intending to remain there and
thus escape serving the twenty-year
prison sentence. but by the time he
got used to eating the kind of stun
that is obtainable at the Russian
tables he came to appreciate in some
measure the great privilege of being
an American citizen and the still not
able advantage Of being in America
at all.
His being fugitive from justice
has been another nail in the coffin
of the l. w. w. organization and has
intensified the resentment which so
many people feel for it. His coming
back and asking, as they will, for
the return of the $4,000 bail money
that was forfeited, coupled with the
Known fact that living conditions are
intolerable in Russia, will 60 long
way toward showing that it is not
from any desire to play square with
his native land that he returns to
face the prison sentence. We believe
he prefers the. good food Of Fl.
Levenworth with the chances of some
soft-headed president giving him an
unconditional pardon.
This incident brings to mind the
expression of Jerry Dineen of Idaho

Militant Speech is
Given at Meeting
of Women's Clubs

In speech before the :nterna.
tional and Pacific Coast States Fed.
GRAFTON of Women's clubs, Mrs. Bur
ton Morse of Twin Falls condemned
high heels and short dresses.
She states that the young women
should be taught that they are not
the playthings of mar, but their
companions.
Girls should be taught to appeal
to mans intellect and to accomplish
this" says Mrs. Morse, 1--WE must
change our mode of dress, and when
we see something webbing along the
street in tight skirts and high heels,
it's head full of henna or some other
dyestuff hair all fused out over her
ears, we will instantly recognize a
sex female and not a woman, for a
woman is Gods production and this
described something is the result of
mans handiwork. Mothers who per-
NIT their daughters to be so dressed
are preparing them for the preface of
marriage and not for the marriage
ceremony"
She declared that now women
were free, they could promise to
work, to play, to go hand in hand
with mankind, but not to concede
one bit of their birthright as equal
human beings. She said that women
has passed thru the schools of bond
age and were now in the university
of liberty, altho she condemned the
present day youth drunk with
liberty"
A plea for greater love among the
club women was made by Mrs.
Thomas Winter of Minneapolis,
president of the general federation,

Those people who did not attend

showed us the work they were doing
by putting the regular Sunday school
exercises. 1t was a most pathetic
sight which thrilled all those present.
Not wrong move, not a mistake,
everything worked like magic. It

lvinety-four Days
and Nothing Done,
BINGHAM COUNTY CASTS
THE DIE

-.lgham county men are setting {
mace for measuring their own astute
ness, which they may at no distant
day regret and censure themselves
for as thoroly as they have censured
themselves for some other omissions
Of the years gone by.
We refer to their absolute indif.
ference to the subject of reclama.
ton as 1t looms in its larger sense af-
fecting the development of the state
and some southern counties more
especially. When the Idaho Reclama-
ton association called convention
at PocatellO to decide the fate and
the activities of that body, only a
handful went from this whole county
and not one of them took the floor
when invitations were extended to
speak and set forth their wishes.
In private conversation, men of
supposed foresight in this county
has anything more to gain by push
ing reclamatiOn-its reclaimable
lands are already reclaimed.
Such talk as that is almost on a
par with the remark of the director
of the United States patent office in
the year 1926 when he said that so
many things had been invented and
patented there was surely little or
nothing more to be invented and
patented and he had decided to re-
sign and try for another position
while the opportunity was open.
The fate of the Idaho Reclama-
tion association hangs in the balance
depending upon the action Of the
several counties that have signified
their Indifference to the subject or
their determination not to aid in the
expense of maintaining the work and
office. A number of counties are
willing and anxious to pay their
share, but rich old counties like
Bingham with great fertile semi-arid
areas and water running to waste
thru or by them, need not blame any
body but herself If she lies down on
the job now and sees her first re-
source-the water, appropriated by
others and lead past her doors to
create rich empires, the trade and
commerce Of which will build up
other institutions than our own.

THEY HAVE THE
HOT END

| 1t appears that our neighborin
city of Idaho Falls has felt tn
ground tremors regarding taxes suf
ficiently to take some notice of 1t
and committee was appointed t,
sit as tax commission for a periot
during which people were payinl
their June installment of taxes, will
the understanding that all persons
having something to say on the ia,
/; question should feel free to walk il
and address the commission with any
expression they care to give out OF
the subject.
| By the time that commission hat
heard all that was rendered on the
subject and closed it's doors with the
closing Of tax payment last Monday
they were emphatically of the opin.
ion that something has to be done
and done quickly to afford relief
from the crushing tax burden. What
people said to the commission is
said to be in general way printable
but so full of truth and carrying SO
much Of conviction with it, that
there Is no longer any doubt in their
minds as to whether or not school
boards should cnt off teaching the
nOn-essentials such as art and music
and expression, especially expression,
for they have concluded that the
public is already able to express itself
well enough. There is said to be NO
doubt in the minds of the members
of the tax commission that the cost
of administering public affairs
should be cut to the quick in many
respects and no more idealism in
dulged in about supplying the public
with lot Of stuff and service which
they don't know what to do with
when they have it.
Dry farmers have been debating
whether to pay the taxes on patented
land and this year the question
seems to be solving itself thru abso-
Lutte inability to pay. The same con-
dition is overtaking a good many
owners of city lots where so many
kinds of taxes are leved against
them that two or three payments Of
taxes equals the value of the lots
and all there is on them.
The tax commission at Idaho Falls
reports that something has got to be
done and the longer they put it off
the worse things will be. We are say
ing in the funeral box at the head
of our editorial column that it is now
ninety-four days and nothing DONE"
which carries with it, just what the
Idaho Falls tax commission says, that
there is no getting away from it,
and the longer they delay action, the
harder it will be. In this county it is
being put up to the people and the
officials jointly, and in this county
the responsibility rests with the Re-
publican party because it is a Re-
publican administration, the Repub-
lican newspaper exposed an intoler-
able situation, the Republican
central committee acting for the
party in power investigated the
charges and found them true, there
by acknowledging the responsibility
of the party, and then they sat back
and waited, fearing to cut into the
abcess lest it blow up.
In both counties the conditions
will grow steadily worse until the
knife Is applied and in both counties
the responsibility for delays will rest
with the Republican party-the
party in power.

"HAULIN' WATER"

An earnest statistician has dis
covered that the American people
transport from the producer to the
consumer, in the process of distribu-
ton Of foodstuffs 1000, 10000 tons
of water annually.
Aside from the fact that this item
constitutes waste at so much per
pound paid for the food, there is a
considerable freight bill to be added.
From behind the smoke scream of
sanitary" advertisers of small
sealed packages of food at drug
prices, be 1t known that modern
methods of dehydration could save
this country the interest on it's war
debt, and add immeasurably to the
harassed consumers ability to nay
his income tax.
Most fruits and vegetables may be
dehydrated, packed in lined barrels
in bulk, retaining all the flavor and
food value, and sold at fraction of
the cost of fancy dressed-up pack
ages.
Dehydrated foods keep indefinitely.
They may be stored in small space,
ana their use would enable the aver
age consumer to take advantage of
favorable price.
The custom of canning these prod
ucts with the water has enabled the
ambitious sugar operators to lay the
annual tribute of from a few cents
to 100 per cent on the price of sugar
with the approach of the canning
season.
Nature dehydrates her bounty at
the close Of the growing season, for
winter consumption.
1t would seem to be a wise move
to get Uncle Sans latest advice on
the dehydration of foods. We are
all fairly well fed up on H2O.

The following is a statement from
the Pocatello Tribune and it shows

The rating of the various organiza-

difficult matter, due to the fact that
they were all excellent. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that troop B Of Black
