Condition Pupils.
There have been recorded against
a number Of high school pupils and
elementary grade pupils conditions
in one or more studies for the two
terms Of the session. After delibera-
ton and thought it has been decided
to permit such conditioned pupils an
opportunity Of making up the work
on which they failed during vacation
and examinations for all such high
school pupils as care to try to pass
off the conditions will be given on
Friday, August 26 in the high school
building. No other opportunity will
be given to take second examinations
except in cases where illness prevents
pupils from attending August 26. r
Home Study Required.
That more home study is not: re-
quired of pupils in the higher grades
is lamented all during the session by
the teachers and just now by the pu-
pills as we'll. It is impossible for pu-
pills in the high school to find time
in school sufficient to prepare and
learn all their lessons and we cannot
afford t. lower the Standard o. the
school to accommodate: those pupils
who will not study sufficiently at
home and whose parents do not re-
quire sae1n to do So. No pupil will BE-
admitted to a higher grade who has
failed en- one subje:s or more. No
exceptions will-be made as it is the
sale aim of the faculty to make the
diploma from yo-lr schools worth
something more Ia IL tie paper it is
engraved upon and a certain amount
of honest hard work is requisite for
obtaining a high school diploma.

THE ELDERS CALL

:, Several Of the venerable men Of
the city this morning called to pay
their respects TO Judge Benet. He
greatly enjoyed seeing them, but
found them greatly changed by the
ravages of old age: The old men
were Col. Thos. P. Thomson, Judge
Hollingsworth, Capt. Perrin and Col.
Billy Morrison, of Long Cane, who
came to hear his young friend
speak.
Col. Pat Roche went along with
the old men to assist them in getting
over the high places, as well as to
make a few suggestions to Judge
Benet about what he should say in
his spseeh in the Opera House.

FOR FREIGHT REDUCTIONS

Boise, Idaho, March 14.-The stron-
~ expressed desire of Idaho shippers
for freight reductions, has verged to
large measure of coperation in soly.
ing the problems upon which rate re.
auctions rest, notably the wage sit
uation. The advance in rates was
based on an advance in wages, the
two going together Not only were
railroad wages materially increased
representing over $6OO,OOO,OOO in the
macon, but the railroad administra-
ton during war time federal control
put into effect agreements of uni
form nature that have proven i'm
mensely expensive.
The national labor board has been
holding hearings on these questions
and serious study Of the evidence is
being given by Idaho shippers and
others interested in this vital SUBJ
ject.
With both shippers and railroads
agreed that rate reductions that would
not prove ruinous to the carriers are
desirable in the interest Of tonnage
movements and general development
and prosperity, the mutual consider
talon being given the elements enter
ing into any ultimate decision, it is
the conviction of leading authorities
that nothing will be permitted to
stand in the way of fair official ad-
justment
Reading the Evidence.
The evidence adduced at the labor
board hearings is being carefully read
in Idaho and various bodies are ex-
pected to express themselves so soon
as a proper analysis is possible.
One of the interesting developments
at the hearings show that the war
time agreements operate adversely be-
cause of their lack Of uniformity and
elasticity, not being adaptable to the
widely variant conditions existing in
different parts of the country. The

DOING YOUR JURY DUTY.

One reason that juries disagree. or

cases where the latter are aligned with
disloyal organizations, is that thei-

duce practical efficiency.
Rules That Prove Costly.
The rules themselves were present
ed as showing unnecessary costs that
initiate against rate reductions. For
example, under one rule covering con-
tinuous and called service, there was
cited an award to machinist for
1917 hours pay for work performed
during spread of eight hours Such
cases. IL was pointed out. were numer-

and II minutes, which at 81 cents an

a difference of $62.S4.
One car repairer was paid $1,000
under one Of these rules for service
never performed and the same amount
of overtime was pal dhis force.
With storm in sight, an engineer
insisted on repairs being made to a
window light in his cab. Under
another rule, it cost five hours for
what could have been done in 80 min
utes besides the train was delayed
an hour and half. This was due to
the restrictions as to who should per
form that particular work.
An Expensive Leak.
A leak in a boiler, trivial mat
Der, under one rule. called out three
skilled men and three helpers where
as 1t is claimed one man and helper
could do the work in the same time
The mere matter of adjusting a head
light called similar large service into
play under this rule.
Many hundreds of such cases were
cited in detail.
There are 1872 of these rules, as re-
ported by Idaho shippers who have
gone over them.
The enforcement of these rules has
not only resulted in inefficient service
to the public, as claimed, but is
known to have cost heavily.
For work not performed at all it
was brought out at the Chicago hear
ing the railroads paid $65OO,OOO in
six months under the punitive payment
rule.
The interest of shippers, as stated,
is to aid in securing such equitable
changes as will affect rates downward.

United Americans Outline Work For
Year Caution as to |. w. w.

Boise, Idaho, March IA bulletin
just issued by the United Americans
announces the appointment of DR..
Frederick Vining Fisher to succeed
Frank A. Chase as state manager, re-
cites the plans for 1921 and utters a
word OF caution to the public bear
ing on the l. w. w. situation. The
bulletin is in part as follows:
Idaho has many valuable organiza-
tons, but the United Americans move
ment is the one impartial co-opera-
tive movement Of all organizations and
all loyal citizens regardless Of party,
creed, class or race for the mainten-
ance Of constitutional government
and the inherited right Of all and for
the common welfare of all the people
of Idaho.
Campaign Efforts.
Organized in the fall of 1919 by
some Of the loyal outstanding men Of
the state, during 1920 leading men Of
all walks of life from over two-thirds
of the counties OF Idaho subscribed
to Its principles, entered its ranks as
active workers and gave freely to its
work. During the last year practical
ly every important state and local
body has officially indorsed the Uni.
ed American movement in Idaho.
The intensive outdoor speaking
campaign carried on during the sum-
mer and fall of 1920 was remarkably
successful despite the handicap Of sick
ness The staff visited over 80 towns

spoke to over $4,000 and indirectly
reached half the population Of the
state, held over 100 meetings and or
ganized AZ important centers for
work.
This campaign had far reaching
influence in counteracting the cam
paign Of discomfort and unrest and
hatred and in clearing the atmosphere
and rallying the people to constructive
Americanism. Its effect is still felt
over the state.
I w. w. Activities
The state headquarters is in touch
with the acute, dangerous situation
caused by the renewal of the activities
OF the l. w. w. in Idaho In cooper
alton with the state constabulary, it
has carefully kept its eye on this field.
Practically every man sworn to over
throw the government who is i'm and
about Idaho is known and registered.
This is extremely important The
state chairman, o. o. Haga, Of the
well known legal firm of Richards &
Haga Of Boise, have offered their SER
vices freely to the county and state at
torneys In the trial of. W. w. cases.
The growing gravity Of the situation
Is revealed in the fact that there are

minds of others, particularly laboring
men. who are fundamentally sound as
to loyalty but who are being worked
on craftily.
The need of United American work
in Idaho is extremely important and
the scope of its work is measured By
available funds and voluntary cooper
