from both the Idaho and Washington
legislatures. and since south Idaho has
majority in the Idaho legislature
and western Washington a majority
in the Washington legislature, it
appears ridiculous to expect these
majorities to appeal to congress to
take away parts Of their respective
states. But suppose they did pass the
memorials, what would congress do
with them? Most likely they would
be pigeonholed by the committee to
which they were referred and never
be acted upon. Already jealous Of
the growing power of the west the
east would not deliberately give the
west two more senators and possibly
an additional congressman. Thus the
promoters Of the new state may graf
fly their desire to start something
but they will never get anywhere
with it so long as these insurmount-
able barriers are in the way.

INCOME TAX FACTS you SHOULD
KNOW.

Births. deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially in
come tax returns for that year
Millions of babies were added tc
family circles, each of whom brings
an exemption of 5000 in the parents
income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the in
come tax law and are granted only
an exemption of $1,000, unless the
head of a family
Persons who were divorced or sep
aiated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider them
selves as single persons.
The status of the taxpayer on De-
cember 81. 1920 determines the
amount Of the exemptions. If on that
day the taxpayer was married and
living with wife or husband, claim
may be made for the $1,000 exemption.
If single or married and not living
with wife or husband on December 81. !
the exemption is only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority dur

this bill through with the view to
securing control of the streams in the
timbered section of the state, thus
securing advantage over competitors
and enable them to levy an unjust
tribute upon all who use the streams
for floating timber for any purpose
The present law empowers the coun-
ty commissioners to authorize the
use of the streams by individuals or
companies and to fix the rate of toll
they may charge. This law seems to
meet all the requirements by main
tanning the tolls at reasonable rates,
and at the same time protects the
rivers and streams of the state from
the grasp of monopoly.

SECONDARY BOYCOTT ILLEGAL
lsan Franeisco Chronielel

(San Francisco ChrOnicle)
The United Sttaes supreme court
has decided that under the Clayton
antitrust act labor unions may be
organized and conducted for all legit-
innate purposes. but that injurious
acts intended to be coercive against
firms and individuals not directly
concerned in a pending controversy
are not legitimate purposes within
the meaning of the act: that an in
junction prohibiting such injurious
acts was proper and must stand and
that the unions opposing the injunc-

american EconomisD

NAIneilCdn EcOnOmlSl)
The country is now paying the pric,
of free trade foolishness. There nevel
was and never will be a free trade
policy that has any thought for home
industry and production.
Economic law is a cold business
proposition. 1t must operate accord
ing to certain fixed standards Self
preservation and determination are
its most important precepts.
No one will deny the fact that
money is tight. business is at a low
ehb factories are closing, men are
being laid off. production is being
curtailed. Yet in spite of all this.
there are still some foolishly optimis-
tic persons, who by some mistake or
misfortune, found their way into con-
81 essional berths, and who persist
emily insist that free trade is the pan
acea for commercial ills.
If the United States is to play the
role of doctor to Europe's broken
down industries, in preference to
maintaining the stability of our own
industries. then by all means free
trade is the prescription needed.
We have come to a pretty state of
affairs when the adoption of meas
ures for the welfare of the United
States is contingent upon the acqui-
oscence of foreign countries
What can we think Of a congress
man or senator chosen to represent
the people of America, who when
confronted with a policy that has for
its purpose the preservation of Am
erican industry and labor, exclaims:
What will Canada say to that?" or
What will Europe do?" Do we elect
to congress to look
out for the welfare of foreign coun-
tries. or do we send them there to
guard our own American institutions?
One would think from reading the ar
of some of these free trad
rs in Washington that they were
members of parliament or foreign |
,ankors. or the like, instead of mem /
,ers of an American congress. They (

1t is obvious that those who are

ton Why need we fear retaliation?
That is the result of coercive meas
ures only. The protective tariff pol

opean and oriental countries are en-
jcying the benefits of selling here.
While America should be enjoying
those benefits. Something is radical
ly wrong. when American producers
can not find a market for their pro
ducts. and at the same time foreign
countries are selling the same kind of
products here
The cheapness of labor in Europe
and the orient is the chief factor in
making this condition possible. For
American labor to compete with them
is impossible The only remedy is to
equalize the opportunity for competi-
ton. Protection does not aim to stifle
competition 1t wants competition.

competitors stand on an equal foot /

\ Chinese or a Japanese can live
on a few cents a day. Is it fair to
ask an American workman to COM

An importer of commodities which
can be produced here. is a drone on
the industrial progress of the nation.
He is not aiding production here.
When goods are imported, the foreign
country gets the money. our country
gets the products, the foreign laborer
gets a market for his product while
our American workman gets a layoff
because of lack of demand for his
PRODUCTS.
We need more 100 per cent Ameri-

many internationalists there for the

COOLING AFTER LOWER RAIL
ROAD RATES.

Senator Gooding is engaged in an
effort to get the question of reducing
railroad rates in the west before the
interstate commerce commission. In
an interview with Mr. McChord, one
Of the commissioners, he stated that
the west is now staggering under I'M
bearable conditions due to the hori-
zontal increase authorized by the
commission, and he stated that he
wanted to find the quickest means to
get the question of relief before that
body Senator Gooding gave much
attention to the freight rate question
before going to Washington, and he
has all necessary data TO show the
hardship that is imposed upon the
people of Idaho. a situation that is
practically duplicated in all other
western states, and he expects to get
the question up to the commission at
any early date. However, it is evi-
dent from the senator's discussion of
the railroad question that he expects
1t viii be necessary to go higher than
the commission in order to accom-
plish general and permanent relief.
Senator Gooding expressed the opin-
ion that it would be necessary to re-
peal that section of the Cummins act
guaranteeing per cent to the rail-
roads, for as long as that law stands
he sees no chance to secure lower
railroad rates in the west. He also
contends that it will be necessary to /
mt Ike sweeping reductions in operat
ms expenses and this will include /
reduction in wages of employees. and
also the salaries of the highly paid
the cut in the latter to be
relatively much greater than that of
The men working for daily wages.
Evidently the sound practical sense
'oi which Senator Gooding has long
been noted is still in good working
rider.

DAWES AND HIS INDECENT Lam
GUAGE.

Imagine a plain, ordinary citizen,
without bank connections. military
career or influential friends, sum
moned before a committee of congress
emphasizing his testimony by the use
of profanity such as most self-re-
specting men refrain from using even
in private conversation. How long
would this plain citizen last before the
committee? How many oaths would
he utter before he was quietly but
firmly informed that he would have
to refrain from the use of such Ian
erage while testifying before the
committee?
Yet man from Chicago. q banker
general in the world war; and one
who has been frequently mentioned
as a possible member of President
Hardings cabinet. Charles G. Dawes,
was permitted to pace the floor be-
fore a congressional committee and
pvnctuate his remarks with profanity
without a word of protest from the
chairman OF the committee or any of
its members. Perhaps many people
will agree with his opinion that these
Investigations of the
conduct of the war accomplish little
and should he discontinued, but few
will sanction the almost insulting
manner in which he expressed the
opinion nor win they approve the
passive action of the committee in
the indecent exhibition.
