IDAHO LEGISLATORS MUST HOLD
DOWN EXPENSE.

According to Information received
through the press from Boise, mem
bers of the legislature generally are
thoroughly imbued with the idea tina
this session must eliminate all unne-
cessary expenses and reduce the cost
of government to the minimum as a
means of bringing relief to the tax
payers of the state. This, of course
does not mean that the ordinary ma
chinery of government shall be han
dicapped through want of funds, or
that the institution of the state shall
be deprived of necessary appropria-
tons to insure their maintenance and
provide for reasonable expansion. To
adopt policy of radical retrenchment
in these respects would be anything
but intelligent economy Ample pro-
vision must be made for the support
and growth of our educational inst-
tutions, and in this connection it is
suggested that this would be most
favorable time to consolidate the AL
bion normal school with the state
technical school at Pocatello. A care
ful survey of the state house should
be maze in order to reduce expenses
OF government by cutting out duplica-
ton and reducing clerical forces to
the lowest point consistent with eff
cient service Some boards and com
missions might be dispensed with al
together, but the suggestion that the
utilities commission and the indus
trial accident board be reduced to one
man is not good That would be go
ing to the other extreme. The work
of these two bodies viii steadily in
crease and the questions with which
they deal are of a character that de-
mand quick decision. The work can
now be divided among the members
and much time is saved as compared
to the condition that would prevail
with the membership reduced to one.
The legislature itself is an eNpen-
sve luxury and the members should |
dispose of the business as quickly as
possible and adjourn The fewer new /
laws enacted the better, and all bills
except in emergency cases making APP
for what might be term
I'd local public improvements should
pc rejected. Many OF these appropri-
,tions are no doubt desirable and
wen necessary, but they can wait I'M
il the people are in better position to
,ay the bills

Pa during the fore part of this month
is recommended as worthy to be

is also worthy to be brought to and
kept in the attention of many others
who are not bankers. manufacturers
and merchants. and who perhaps do
not even have offices With that idea
in mind, the News prints the state
ment herewith so that none whom it's
message may affect can plead ignor-
ance of it, and so that even he who
runs may read:
Let every individual do all he
can to help and encourage his
neighbor Let there be a com
plete mobilization of the financial
and spiritual assets OF every com
munity Neither God nor the gov
eminent ought to be asked to help
those who do not first make every
effort possible to help themselves.
There ought, however to be a
united effort in every community
to keep any good man from be-
ing destroyed because he can not
Immediately meet his obligations.
Under existing conditions it would
be the acme of inhumanity and of
unwisdom to force any debtor
into bankruptcy if by the most
liberal indulgence he would ulti-
mately be able to pay. Business
failures do more than wreck bust
ness; they ofttimes destroy men.
Liberal indulgences and renew
ais should be granted by the man
ufacturers to the jobbers, by the
iobbers to the merchants. by the
merchants to the individuals 1t

OUTSIDE SHOPPERS HAVE COM
PLANT AGAINST WALLACE.

Recently a group of women who
live mp the canyon were overheard
discussing conditions in this city with
respect to shopping facilities, the gist
of which was that while the stores
were well stocked and every attention
was given to customers. when the
trading was over and women and chill
dren found it necessary to wait for
trains to return home, the town was
wholly without accommodations for
their comfort and convenience. And
this is a fact, although nothing new to
the business men of the city, who
through the board of trade have re-
poatedly discussed the question of
providing "a womans rest room. but
never got further than a discussion
The time has come when provision
should be made for the women and
who daily visit this city, for
they are not only entitled to have
these facilities available. but it is also
a good business proposition. These
women from the canyon pointed out
that if arrangements were made to
keep the basement of the library
building open during the day for the
use of outside shoppers, it would be
,reatly appreciated and would doubt
ess result in increasing the number
IF shoppers and at least promote
uore kindly attitude toward the town
,mong those who do come. This is a
natter that should receive the imme-
Hate attention of the board of trade.
70 use the basement of the library
milding for this purpose would incur
no additional expense and it is not
likely that the council would have any
objection to the plan

THE CHEMISTS DREAM.
Chicago News)

Chicago News)
The straw stack on the farm may
prove the solution for the increasing
shortage of gasoline. In Kansas,
where straw stacks grow in greater
profusion than elsewhere in this land,
government chemists are conducting
experiments in the destructive distil-
lation of wheat straw into fuel suit
able for use in heating, lighting and
for driving internal combustion en-
gines The process hitherto used is
too expensive to make the fuel COM
mercially profitable, but it is hoped to
cheaper it so that it may be produced
as cheaply as the present price Of
gasoline. 1t has been demonstrated.
according to the reports given out,
that one ton of straw will produce 40
gallons of fuel On the basis of the
estimate of this years, crop of straw,
there is enough in Kansas alone to
produce 100000 gallons. and the
Sunflower state is but one in a galaxy
OF states that grow wheat in some
what lesser quantities.
II is the dream of the chemists that
the day will dawn when the Kansas
farmer will have his own still to turn
his straw. now valueless, into fuel to
drive his sedan, and that when he
drives to town he will be able to load
into his car a few gallons of the
home made product, gasoline. or its
equivalent. Of course to sell to some
of his friends who do not have their
own straw stacks

MOTOR FUEL.
CombustibIe Gas Made From Wheat
Straw Better Than Gasoline.

OtFaW better han Gasoline
According to a statement issued bv
j. c. Mohler secretary of the state
board of agriculture, Kansas now the
greatest wheat producing state in the
Union may become the greatest man
ufacturer of motor fuel from wheat
straw. thus adding to the farmers in
come and utilizing a product of the
soil which at present is virtually
wasted
Based on estimates of the United
States department of agriculture that
one ton of wheat straw will produce
the equivalent of 40 gallons of gaso-
line, Kansas in 1919-with an acreage
of 11,64O,OOO-could have produced
the equivalent of 45,S6O,OOO gallons
according to Mothers report.
Experiments made by the federal
department show that a combustibIe
gas can be obtained from the de-
structive distillation of wheat straw"
states the report This new product
has been used for operating an auto
mobile, for Illuminating purposes and
for cooking. and tests are in progress
to determine its exact value and cost
Of production
IF these experiments turn out sat
isfactorily, it may not be many years
before every farmer will throw the
straw from his threshfng machine in
to a still, from which he can draw all
the fuel he will require to operate his
farm machinery
Farm experts have estimated that
enough wheat straw is going to waste
west Of the Mississippi river alone to
produce in new fuel the equivalent
Of one-ffth the driving power of all
gasoline now manufactured Expert
nents so far have extended only TO
wheat straw. Corn stalks are said To
oe richer in carbon than wheat straw

Some biologists have predicted a

aged communities tax themselves and

To a Departed Friend
(Anonynous)

Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutly step by step with you
Your whole, long, dusty lifetime thru,
BE gone a while before
BE now a moment gone before
Yet doubt not soon the seasons shall
restore
Your friend to you.
He has but turned a corner-still
He pushes on with right good will
Thru mire and marsh by hough and
hill
That self-same arduous way
That self-same upward, hopeful way
That he and YOU thru many doubt
full day,
Attempted still
He is not dead, this friend-not dead,
But in the path we mortals tread
Cot some few trifling steps ahead
And nearer to the end.
SO that you. too once past the bend
Shall meet again. as face to face, this
friend
You fancy dead.
Push gayly on, strong heart; the while
You travel forward mile by mile,
He loiters with a backward smile,
Till you can overtake,
And strains his eyes to search this
wake
Or whistling as he sees you thru the
brake,
Waits on the stile.
