ON FIRE PROTECTION.

During the year just closed Mountain Home has not
had serious fire. and there have been not more than five
or six alarms during that time This is far better record
than many towns can show there not having been town
Of orr size in the state without its fires during
the year This city has better fire protection than most
towns Also even though the carefulness of citizens
makes its use rare We have good fire truck, equipped
with ample hose to reach any building in town from one of
the fire hydrants water pressure ample to put water
anv building in town. and volunteer fire personnel well
drilled and efficient in their jobs on the fire equipment
The sixteen members of the department all employed
within few blocks of the fire house in the day time and at
night an efficient truckman sleeps at the fire house. ready
for duty at minute notice The truck inspected daily
and is kept in running order at all times constant fire
is maintained to keep it enough to start instantly
and fire alarm day or night the department NOV

department is estimated be less than fourth of the
amount insurance premiums were reduced on the install

equipment could be added which would bring still further
reductions in insurance premiums

ON RENTING COMMUNITY HALLS.

AT the meeting of the village board Tuesday night the
question brought up Of the that the American Lee
gon was making of the hail. which the village pays the
rent 1t seems that the hall rented for the Legion and
that they alleged to be subettng it for parties and
for dancing school, at profit to Themselves This is to
the derimen of the village library board which also has
hall to rent given them rent free by the late Laird of
Skib and the rentals of which go to purchase books
to fill his local monument The question resolves itself
into this whether were better for free hall to be rented
to buy books or to pay running expenses of the American
Legion? This writer is not able to settle it in his own
mind though believe that the Legion does rent their
hall there ought to be union agreement by which they
would maintain the rental charges that have been es-
tabGshed
On the other hand it would be bad precedent for the
village to give the Legion something and then demand the
profits on it, as might encourage other Inun givers
to demand Of the boys that they refund to them ths
cigarette money that the stay -athomes donated while
those boys were doing their fighting

Il am told by persons of unques-

ready to come here from a certain
country, as soon as peace is de-
clared, and the way is made clear.

people clamoring to come to Amer

transportation has been provided.
Armies of this nationality are ready
to come through Holland. Even Hal
land is losing thousands upon thous-
ands of what they are pleased to call
their best type of working people,
who are coming to this country to
get away from the spirit of unrest
and turmoil that has permeated the
whole European fabric.

j.. u,onld he a vital mistake to fill
tho country with a poor order of i'm
migratiou TO its lasting detriment.
The writer has never pinned much
faith in the literaey test as test
of the iltness of man TO enter
America. An illiterate man OIL good
hodv and clean mind may make a
first class citizen; a man WIN
little learning, his mind filled with
class hatred and the fantastic theor-
les Of the radicals may be n dan
gerous as dynamite in a crowded
street.
Our first duty is to America. We
owe no duty to the immigrants from
other lands. If they come here at
all it should be ON sufferance. They
should prove their right to ENJOY
the benefits of citizenship by their
conduct and their readiness TO SUD-
scribe to American standards. Ten
wears Is not too long probation.
In the meantime let the immigrant
know that he is on probation. Make
him register and report at regular
intervals. Deport him If he does
not walk in the straight and mar
row path, If he proves himself,
admit him finally to full partner
ship in the heritage off America on
equal terms with other American
citizens. But make him under
stand that citizenship is a boon
granted him-not something to
which he has an inherent right.
We must not forget that a man
first duty is to his own land. The
first duty of the millions in Europe
now clamoring for admission to
America is to their own countries,
Clean, straig citizens are
needed in every country in Europe.
If order is to be brought out of
chaos and orderly sane-thinking
governmental systems are to prevail
on that grief-burdened continent it
needs its best and strongest sons
at home. They ought not to run
away from the sinking ship. They
ought to turn to with energy and by
industry and patience and frugality
create better conditions in their
home lands.
If we accept immigrants at all
from Europe we don't want the
crooked-thinking and erooked-act-
ing fellows. We want the straight,
clean thinking men and women. And
the class that we want and would
accept is just the class that the
European countries can i'll afford to
lose And, furthermore, it is a class
that we can ill afford to have
Europe lose, because our future pros
perity and well-being is bound up
in universal world prosperity and

pen when the bars OF Russia are let
down can only be guessed. Thous-

Then we had in line so Norwegians,
great, sunny-faced men, with clear

for the lumber camps OF the north

from north central Europe, narrow
chested, bent and miserable in com
parison with the Norse-men ahead
of them, and while they were obvl-

they would never make construG-

THE DELUGE.
The Problem of Immigra
ton is Far From Simple.

(From The Improvement Bulletin)
The increase in population of the
United States in the twenty-yearl
period from 1900 to 1920 was APP
proximately 33 percent. Much of
this increase was due to immigra-
ton. 1t is quite apparent that II
we continue to grow with such
rapidity in the years to come we will
not only experience extreme Difficult
ty in assimilating these diverse ele-
ments, but we will in very few
decades reach the point of satura-
ton, where the nation will have all
of the population it can support
without reducing its living stand
ards.
We ought to "go slow" in this
matter of filling up the country
with all sorts and conditions of peo
Pile. While to a good many it may
seem harsh to deny the boon of
freedom and free institutions to the
oppressed peoples, we must remem-
Der that the first duty off the Ameri-
can people is to themselves and to
the generations to come after us.
We must build for the future.
Benefits lightly won are lightly
regarded. Tens of thousands of
aliens have been ready and are ready
to tear down our free institutions.
So far from feeling gratitude they
regard with envious eyes and NAL
ignant thoughts those who preceded
them and have won success by hard
work. prudence and frugality. That
is not true Of all immigrants or even
the major number. Countless thous-
ands are hardworking, frugal citi-
zens, with loyal hearts and love for
the country of their adoption.
We need workers. The industries
of the country cry out for them. Yet

FRUIT GROWERS

Opera tive Marketing
Equal in Importance to
Freight Tariff.

Cooperative marketing as OF
equal Importance with freight rate
adjustments was advocated Wednes-
day night before the Idaho Hortl-
cultural association by Leonard
Way of the public utilities commits
sion.
1t seems to me that one of the
matters OF great Importance to the
fruit growers of the state at this
time Is the formation OF a compre-
hensive sales organization, such as
the citrus fruit and prune growers
of California have; an organization
that will handle every car of south
ern Idaho fruit" said Mr.. Way at
the close OF a thorough examination
of the freight rate problem as 1t af-
fects the grower.
1.-THE rate on hay was reduced and
the market price fell an equal
amount. Still the farmer could not
move his hay by reason OF the fact
that 1t left him no margin. 1t is
my Judgment that the Idaho pro-
Queer can not expect to be in a bet
ter position until he has put him
self In the position where he can
first place the price ON his COM
modities. In other words, he is the
one that knows the cost OF produc-
ton and is the one to say what will
be the selling price. These are all
matters of equal Importance with
the freight rate"
Lowering OF rates on hay to Mis-
souri, river points from $27 to $40
moved practically none Of idaho's
million tons of hay, said Mr.. Way,
because following the rate reduc-
tion the price on hay at Kansas City
shrunk from $25 to SIT.

agriculture, discussed freight rates
and the fruit business from grow
er's standpoint, taking up the COM

Spoil the Child and Spare the Rod.

The spoiled child cannot possibly
be resourceful and resourcefulness
Is absolutely necessary to success.
Accustomed to looking TO others for
whatever he wants, without a
thought to what it may cost them,
the faculty Of taking care OF himself
soon atrophies. Hire man to
carry YOU wherever you go, and in a
comparatively short time you will
not be able to walk alone. The
person whose parents who think
for him, slave for him, provide for
him, soon becomes unable to do
anything for himself He will rea-
lie this when he gets out in the
world, but the realization will only
make him unhappy, 1t will be too
late to do him any good, for youth
forms habits.
OF course he will be manhandled
by his fellows as soon as he is out
of his home. His very selfishness
will make that necessary. For the
people with whom he comes In con-
tact will have no natural affection
for him, they wiH Judge him only
by the qualities he shows, and If
these are purely selfish he win have
very hard work going in world
composed pretty largely of more or
less selfish people.
Count up the failures of your ac-
quaintance and you wwiil find that
most Of them are failures because
their parents tried ESQ hard to make
successes of them, thereby remov-
ing from them the necessity of ever
doing anything to make successes
OF themselves.

was brought forth by campaign con-
Quoted against him by newspapers,
Willard declared in an address here
tonight.
Il do not blame the men who made
the attack" Willard said. Il spoke in
Cincinnati two weeks ago and every
thing was quiet. Ten days ago the
newspapers took up campaign
against me. They painted me as an
opposer of the draft. traitor and
many other things. which if true,
proved that l ought to be in Jail.
What followed Saturday was the
direct result of their attacks"
Willard asserted that one Cincinnati
newspaper sent a man to him Saturday

movements were to be and then
tipped tle American Legion off where
he could be found.
In other addresses today Willard dis
cussed the race question in the south.
