county commissioners at Paris Mon
day was the matter of an all-year
highway through Bear Lake county.
The suggestion was presented to the
board by one of the public spirited
men of the county that steps be TAX
en- at. once looking to the surfacing
of the state highway through the
county from Georgetown on the
north to Fish Haven on the south
with gravel.
The suggestion was we'll received
by the commissioners. The gentle
man pointed out the various ways by
which the undertaking could be fl
naneed. One Of these was to secure
state aid to the extent Of possibly
one-third of the cost Of the work, and
the other was the possibility Of Sc
curing aid from the government. The
balance would be borne by the coun-
ty, perhaps through bond issue.
If there is one thing Bear Lake
county needs it certainly is improv-
ed highways The state highway
from Georgetown to Fish Haven is
a well built and ideal road in the dry
season, but the formation of the soil
in this county is such that the roads
become cut up and slippery after the
slightest rain. and in the spring and
fall even the best roads in the coun-
ty become, in many instances, inn
passable on account of mud. Such
condition Of the highways mean a
heavy loss to everybody. It prevents
the farmers from hauling their pro-
ducts to the markets and makes
business in the trading centers stag
nant. Last fall farmers were patient
" waiting for snow to come and
cover the roads so they might haul
their crops in sleighs.
The question of year-round high
ways in Bear Lake county is one OF
vital Importance to the farmer, and
no time should be lost in providing
them, Ifthe main trunk road through
the county was graveled this season
it would be an easy matter to grad
tally connect up tho various towns
of the county with a graveled road
by covering a few miles each year
with an aim Of ultimately connecting
up every town with an year-round
highway

A SENSIBLE MOVE

A number of educators of the state
are advocating a measure for the
consolidation of school districts with
in the various counties Of the state
into one unit. Supt. w. r. Siders of
the Pocatello city school system is
one of the hackers of the project, and
in all probability a measure will be
presented to the present session of
the legislature embodying the prin-
ciples of consolidation.
By the plan Of Supt. Siders and
others each county in the state would
be made an independent school dis
trict and one board of education
would have jurisdiction over all the
schools in the county. Under the pre-
sent system the counties are divid-
ed into numerous districts, each hav-
ing its own board of trustees, and
each district employing it's own
teaching staff. The inefficiency of
the present system can easily be seen,
with it's numerous Implications of eff
forts. Through the consolidation
plan all the school districts in each
county would be made one, and one
board of education of three or five
members, elected from representa-
tive districts in each county would
constitute the governing body for
the entire county, and uniform sys-
tenn would result. Instead of q dozen
boards of trustees passing on the
merits of applicants for positions as
teachers, the one board of education
would employ teachers and certain
uniform qualifications would have
to be measured up to by the teacher
before employed to instruct the child
rem.
The county unit system works out
fine everywhere where the system
is in use, and has been the means of
placing all the schools of an entire
county on uniform basis and great
ly reducing the cost OF education and
increasing the efficiency of the sys-
tenn. Under the county unit system
schools are governed by one board OF
education along the same lines that
q county is governed by a board OF
commissioners.
Two years ago Dill pEoNlalng Tor
the county unit system was defeated
by q narrow margin In the senate.
The bill to be presented at the pre-
sent session is a broader measure
avoiding the compulsory feature,
and provide that each county may re-
fer the question of school consolida-
ton to the qualified voters Of the
county, and thereby decide whether
or not the unit system is wanted.
The bill is supported by the leading
educators of the state of Idaho.
The efforts of Mr. Siders and ]. q.
Turned of Payette, chair man of the
subcommittee Of the state teachers
association, is commendable and
should receive the support OF all the
school patrons OF the state OF Idaho.

REAPTNG THE
WHIRLWIND

North Dakota, which, under ire
sponsible leadership, permitted it.
self to become the testing ground
Of that political upstart movement
called the Non-Partisan league, is
now reaping the whirlwind OF its
sowing. Among it's experiments was
state-owned bank, and enthusiastic
leaguers rushed to deposit their dol
lars, discrediting in large measure
the national or regular state banks
Of the commonwealth. They are at
present experiencing that sensation
which arises from everything going
out and nothing coming in, as un-
fortunately for the depositors, they
are permitted to deposit all the mon
ey they can, but for the time being
at least, they are unable to make
Withdrawals.
There Is consolation in the thought
that there are forty-seven other
states in the Union and that they
are now given the opportunity to OBJ
serve closely and then draw infer
ences.
1t is rather rough on North Dakota
but Experience is always rough in
its methods.

To better the chances OF some

alton at the beginning Of the new
year.
The review declares that this CD.
timism is in spite Of the fact that the
Pacific northwest lumber industry
enters new year with the lightest
order files in its history, the heay-
lest inventories Of the past decade,
with financial conditions temporari-
ly retarding new construction, adj
verse exchange operating exports
and advanced freight rates restrict
ing the use of west coast lumber in
markets east Of the Mississippi river
Throughout the country the pre-
sent tax laws have had as much to dc
with the slowing down on building
as has the high cost Of materials and
labor.
Rail freight rates, while not fund
amental, will again become of pri
mary Importance as the financia
condition OF the country improves
and the demand for lumber SWING
back toward normal.

BANKS SHOULD
BE COMMENDED

Various agricultural organizations
and certain politicians who would
buy votes with vain promises, regard
less of consequences, have been ac-
cusing the banks of the nation of re-
fusing to finance the farmers in
holding their crops, and thereby fore
ing great loss on the agricultural in
terests
AS a matter of fact, the banks in
every locality have financed the
farmers long past the time when
many crops should have been sold.
Banks have crippled their own re-
sources in extending these loans
month after month, and in many To-
calities, refusal of farmers to sell
crops has caused serious condition
in banking circles.
The Federal Reserve Bank will not
re-discount wheat paper, and local
bank has no recourse open but to in
sist on payment. Any fair-minded
man can see that bank which is
the guardian OF thousands Of indi-
vldual deposits has no right to spec
ulate on any crop and extend loans
for an indefinite period while the
producer holds for high price which
may never come. The banks are not
to blame for present market condi-
lions, and they are to be commend
ed for carrying the load to the ex-
tent they have, while at the same
time protecting the interests of de-
positors.

THE REIMBURSEMENT
IN MINING

The Globe, Arizona, copper camp
has reduced wages $1.OO per day,
equivalent to decrease of approx
imately Is per cent. This brings the
wage scale of the district down in
the same proportion as at Lake su-
perior.
Utah, Ray Consolidated and New
ada Consolidated mines and mills
make reductions OF wages effective
January LIST to scale applying prior
to January /, 1919, which varies be-
tween $125 and 80 cents a day, ac-
cording to employment and pay.
Phelps-Dodge and Calumet & Ar
izona Copper company reduce wages
at both mines and smelters. All
mineworkers receiving more than
$685. day will have their wages re-
duced 81 day, and those receiving
less than $685. cut of 80 cents.
The Couer D'Alene district makes
reductions Of 800 per shift for all
skilled labor and Slips for unskilled
The above reductions were effective
January |, 1921.
Anaconda announces cuts in COM
parison to the above to take effect
January 20.
Mining wages have been maintain
ed at the war figure for many months
In spite Of the fact that metal prices
on which these wages were based
long since dropped below the level
that justified such wages.
Thus is the metal mining industry
readJusting TO normal basis in or
der to continue operation and encour-
age future buying.
