The high cost of living continues

The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1921-06-20

some woman there is reported to
have said that perhaps the newspaper
was an honest institution and worthy
OF patronage anyway. That OF
course, would be strange thing to
d0-to let newspaper get hold of
money for public service and 1t
has not been done yet. One of the
trustees is quoted as saying that it
would cost $500 to publish the
itemized statement of school ex-
penses for the year, but that seems
to have been only guess, and as
one persons guess is as good as an
other, somebody on the side of the
agitation made the guess that 1t
would not cost that much and the
trustee could not prove that the
second guess was not correct.
But now comes the meanest part
of it all, for there are taxpayers in
Pocatello, who say that the school
board treats them just as If the
board were close corporation and
nobody else was entitled to know
where they get their money or how
they spend it. OF course it must be
a pretty mean man who will accuse
the school board OF such things as
that, for the most Of the taxpayers
know good and well where the tax
money comes from. The only thing
they are especially anxious about is
to know where it goes and what 1t
goes for. The board tells them that
1t goes for school purposes, and that
ought to end the matter and probably
would end it, but for the fact that
people have to. walk into the court
house and push some more money
across the counter for school pur-
poses without knowing any of the
particulars. The only thing the tax
payer knows as to particulars is that
he has to be particular to get it paid
on time.
All the time that the taxpayer Is
fussing and tuning about the mat
ter, the board is expanding more
money and the time is getting nearer
when the man who pays must pay
again. The people can have the &C
counts audited and pay for the audit
and then they will know as much
about the system as the people Of
Bingham county knew about the sys-
tenn of assessing and collecting in
this county. One member of the
Bingham county tax commission be-
gan his work by saying that there
could be nothing wrong with the as
SCISSORS department because there
had been two audits Of the county
accounts in three years and If there
was anything wrong the auditors |
would have discovered it. Yet after
thirty days work and study of the
charges against the assessors depart
ment the same man said 1t was be-
ing done in an illegal and extrava-
CANT manner and that bills were be-
ing .paded. '
There might be merit in the con-
tention Of Pocatello folks that they
are entitled to know more about
school expenditures. We doubt
they ought to be sat upon
FOR asking for an accounting. i The
very fact that they have been re-
fused the Information probably
makes them the more anxious about

Seventy-nine Days
and Nothing Done
POCATELLO SCHOOL BOARD
BEING QUESTIONED

There is turmoil in school matters
in our sister city of Pocatello. There
are said to be discontinued spirits
paying their taxes right along who
have the .temerity (guess that's the
right word) to ask questions Of the
school board with a view Of getting
information about what the board
has spent the money for and what
1t is intending to do about indebted
ness.
Gossip has it that the school board
takes the view that since the school
trustees are elected to attend to
school business they will attend to
it and other people ought to keep
their hands off and not bother them.
People who have sought information
of the board have come away with
the feeling that they had been told it
was none Of their affair, altho it had
not been put into words.
That would be very naughty At
titude for school board to take and
a very naughty thing for them to say,
but it Is not charged that they say
it at all-they merely act 1t in such
. way that 1t gives out the impress
sion and people 60 away regreting
that they have not the desired infor-
nation and the acknowledged right
to receive 1t.
Ia you lived in Pocatello and asked
for information thru the board and
they told you 1t was published last
June and you could look 1t up in the
newspaper, and IL you hunted thru
the files of the paper and found that
1t was published in such brief form
that it did not convey anything on
the particular things you wanted to
know, about, then of course you
would 60 home and keep quiet or go
again to the board and ask for the
items. If there were few thousand
items that you wanted to know
about, you would of course, get
weary of making thousand requests
and you might go home wishing that
you knew or wishing that you were
on the school board so you could
know, and II you we're on the board
you might wish that people would
not come around asking questions.
You might even get to thinking that
it was good plan to hold the board
meetings behind closed doors or in
quiet and secluded rooms when mo-
body but the board knew about 1t
and then not tell the reporters much
If anything about it If they inquired
what was done.
When people have asked the Poca-
tello school board why they did not
publish in full the statement of the |
finances and show in detail what they
do with the money, they have said |
could not afford it. 1t costs money
to publish long columns of figures in
a newspaper and if they did that and
paid the publisher his bill they
would have even less money than be-
fore, just the same as the county
commissioners have less money than
before when they have published the
commissioners proceedings and paid
for it.
But some Of the taxpayers at Po-
catello have been cheeky about It
and said that it ought to be pub
lished even If it did cost some money

GETTING INTO A
PROFITABLE GAME

An Alaskan gold mining company
is engaged in remodeling its plant
for the purpose of manufacturing
wood pulp for paper. Profits in gold
| production are too meagre.
/, On ore the possible profit is less
than 81 the ton. Profits in paper
have risen to as high as $50 ton.
Takes a pretty smart gold mine to
beat that! ~
Times change. The paper industry
was developed to supply the printing
and publishing industry. Along with
| it grew the modest wrapping paper
industry, an admitted necessity.
Wrapping paper was largely made
from waste and reuse materials,
straw etc. The use of paper in other
lines has increased until now it is
said there are 1900 distinct articles
manufactured in this country from
Taper. Of this great output three
fourths of the raw material must
come from the same source as that
of the newspapers. Box and carton
manufacturers use three times the
material required for the news
papers.
Some genius few years ago dis
covered that there was enough
Indian left in the majority of us to
pay three prices for our food, drugs,
etc. if they were packed in gaudy,
extensive looking packages.
So the paper situation has come to
be controlled by this big demand,
which cares little about the price.
While the newspapers struggle for
their very lives, under present prices,
the consumer continues to buy waste
full packages and growl about the
high cost Of living.
Cheap paper built this well known
epublic-nothing else could have
done it. 1t is dangerous to tamper
with the only raw material possible
for the printing and publishing in
terests.
AAnd when we are both numbering
the press and paying needlessly high
prices for the foolish decoration, it
would seem that the fool-killer is
overdue. -COntributed.

rested BY French Police 40 a Spy
During the War.

The French aviation world, govern.
mental and private, is deeply absorbed
at the present time in the rapid devel.
opment Of the recently invented hell
copter, the airplane which is designed
to rise straight up from the ground.
The French government after a
careful investigation by a commission
Of experts, has officially accepted the
machine and has set aside substan-
tial sum Of money for the immediate
improvement of the invention.
The Marquis r. Pateras Pescara Of
Argentina is credited by some air
plane experts with having actually
proved its practicability. but several
Frenchmen, among whom is M. L.
Filippi, have since constructed hell
copters with as much success as Pes
cara. Experimental work now Is 60
ing on near Paris at an army avia-
ton field.
Reality In Two Years.
At the Aero club Of France, where
the helicopter is the chief topic of
conversation, experts predict that with
In two years the new airplane will be
practical reality.
Considerable surprise was expressed
BY these same experts that the United
States government had apparently not
taken up the new machine, inasmuch
as 1t may materially affect sea war
fare. t,IE t-Ha
The helic0pter, described simply
without attempt at technicalities, is
a machine constructed of series of
horizontal planes revolving in oppo-
site directions. On the Pescara ma
chine, a base similar to that Of low
slung automobile is used.
On this is built two series of hori-
zontal planes, each series composed of
ten planes. The usual airplane motor
starts the planes and the effect is to
make the machine rise straight from
the ground.
In the experimental work small
gas bag has been used for safety pur-
poses, but the work is so far along
that these bags are being abandoned.
Arrested as Spy.
Pescara is conducting experiments
In Barcelona, Spain, where the French
army commission has spent several
weeks In observation. His career has
been romantic. Employed in expert
mental laboratories Of the Italian gov
eminent before the war, Pescara came
to Paris soon after the beginning of the
war and continued his work under
army supervision. He was credited
with hundreds of inventions, among
them dirigible which flew over the
enemy lines and dropped bombs at
stated intervals. #
Suddenly, at the height Of Pescara's
success, the French police arrested
him as spy, and he was kept in pris-
on for several months. The French
ministry Of war protested his limo
cence and obtained his release on con-
dition that he be deported. He left
For Spain and soon began his helicop-
ter experiments.

GEORGIA AVIATOR
KILLED IN CRASH

HAMPTON, Va, June Styling
Cadets Noel r. Thompson and C. A.
Bowen were killed instantly at Lang
ley field yesterday afternoon when
a de Haviland 4-B plane in which
they were making a bombing flight
struck a tree top and became ignited
Three of four bombs being carried
in the carriage were detonated and
blew the machine to bits, burning
and terribly mutilatlng the bodies
of the two aviators.
Pieces Of the plane were thrown
long distances by the first eXplo-
sion, which occurred about a minute
after the machine took a straight
drive into an oak tree which stands
on the edge of the flying field. Eff
forts had been made by Cadet
machine from the tree even after
flames had broken out by the en-
CINE: Ambulances were hurried to
the scene, which arrived after both
cadets were dead.
Cadet Thompson, whose home is in
Jacksonville, III, and Cadet Bowen,
of Quitman, Ga, had come to Lang
ley field only a few weeks ago from
Kelly field, Texas. They were con-
sidered safe pilots and had been
participating since their arrival in
preparations for army, navy bomb
ing experiments to be conducted
later this month. Neither of the
cadets had been in charge of any
of the larger bombing types of
planes, and on the flight which re-
suited in their deaths they carried

MONTICELLO, Ga, June S.--Po'
liceman e. c. Price shot and killed
Frank Wilson, negro, in the council
room of the courthouse about ~
o'clock Tuesday evening. The Negro
had been arrested several days age
for gambling and vegrancy, but was
dismissed on condition that he would
go to work. Failing to do this, hd
was rearrested Tuesday night and
brought to the cell in the council
room. Policemen Price and Swain
in searching the negro, failed to
find a pistol which he had concealed
in the leg Of his trousers. While
Policeman Swain was at the tele'
phone, the negro, who was in charge
of officer Price, suddenly drew his
pistol and fired at Mr.. Price, shooting
off the middle finger of his left hand
The officer attempted to catch the
pistol, but could not. He then shot
at the negro, the first ball taking
effectin the cylinder of the negro'spis'
toll, locking the same. Mr.. Price fired
again, when the negro fell to the
floor, still trying to shoot.
Mr.. Price almost certainly would
have been killed but for, the locking

covered until the affair was all over.

ed of completely, went to trial in a
carefully guarded court room.

HUGHES PROPOSES TREATY
BETWEEN u. s. AND MEXICO

WASHINGTON, June S.-A treaty
Of 'amity and commerce" between
the United States and Mexico was
proposed yesterday by Secretary of
State Hughes. From Mexico City 1t
is reported that President Obregon
will strive to obtain American rec
ognition before any actual signing
of a treaty is considered.
To this end, it was predicted that
Obregon may state in his next COM
munication to the Washington gov
eminent that he is willing to nego-
tiate a treaty with the United States
along the lines suggested by Hughes.
provided recognition De extended his
government.
Whether Hughes would agree to
such a plan probably would depend
on the circumstances. Whenever an
agreement is reached between Obre-
gon and the United States for a
treaty, an American ambassador, it
is expected, will, be appointed to
Mexico City to sign and conclude the
pact. Negotiations are now going on
in Mexico City between Obregon and
George T. Summerlin, charge of the
American embassy, to reach such an
agreement. So far as known, only
two communications have passed be-
tween Mexico and the United States
the American memorandum pro-
posing the treaty and preliminary
reply from Obregon.
Hughes announcement had made
these salient points:
"The fundamental question which
confronts the government of the
United States in considering its re-
lations with Mexico is the safe
guarding of property rights against
confiscation.
This question should not be con-
fused with any matter Of personali-
ties or of the recognition of any
particular administration.
Accordingly, this government has
proposed a treaty of amity and COM
MERGE with Mexico, which would
safeguard property rights and pro-
vide for a commission to pass on
American claims for revolutionary
losses.

Camden, will be established, and it
is being discussed with prospects IA
vorable for action at the next session
of the state general assembly, con-
vening this month. Brunswick being
in the center of the new circuit, and
within easy reach of the county
seats of the three other counties,
would probably be the headquarters
of the court officials. 1t is pro-
posed to have a meeting of the bar
associates of the four counties in
Brunswick soon, and it is said that
fully 90 per cent Of the merlhers
of the members of the bar are Nined

PLANS Of c. ]. P. IN
SOUTH DISCUSSED

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Repub-
lican reorganization in the south was
discussed today by a subcommittee
of the Republican national commit
tee. Methods of taking southern
Republican organizations from the
negroes and giving them into control
of the whites were understood to be
in the making.
The full national committee, meet
ing here tomorrow, will consider the
recommendations of the subcommit-
tee and also is expected to elect John
T. Adams, of Iowa, to succeed POST
master General Hays as national
chairman.
The plans under discussion by the
subcommittee contemplate reducing
the. number Of southern delegates to
the national convention in proportion
to the actual number of Republican
voters. In the same way the repre-
sentation from the northern states
would be increased.
Republican leaders hope that by
putting whites in control of southern
Republican organizations they can
maintain the foothold they gained
in the solid south last fall. Florida,
Texas, Louisiana and other parts of
the south have been colonized by
northern Republicans, who, accord
ing to party leaders, are ready to
stay with the party if the race ques-
+io,, wern eliminated
