A CHAT WITH THE
4.

The editor has lately been talking
a great deal, perhaps too much, about
taking the public into ones confin-
dence in matters of business. This
of course is a policy Numerically OPP
posed to the ordinary Interpretation
Of business ethics. II occurs to us
that perhaps we should practice what
we preach before we are severely cal
led onto the carpet for not doing as
we would be done by.
The frs. consideration in the ews
paper business. like any other, Is the
earning OF a living.
This is done by first producing a
newspaper that the public wants and
is willing to pay for and secondly by
providing a local advertising medium
that VIII appeal to merchandiserB no
matter what the line of goods they sell.
A third means, and a common M In
shops like that OF the Press, Is COM
mercial printing, sold at a reasonable
profit to make up in some degree for
the amount of money that may be lost
In the publication of the newspaper,
or add to the revenue of the publisher,
sufficiently 10 make his endeavor
worth while.
IL is comparatively easy TO publish
an eight page weekly paper. A paste
pot, lengthy shears, plenty of ex-
changes, a serial plate story, tobacco
advertisements and a few galleys of
type are all that Is needed. And the
cost In this event might be kept down
TO fifty dollars q week. The paper
would be expressionless, would not
have carefully written home editorial
features and news. would have no
standing among fellow publishers.
Would not have the respect of the
community where IL lived, would be
rendering no service to it's county or
town and would be dead In fact as
well as spirit, from cover to cover.
IL would not deserve the confidence
of It's readers or advertisers and its
editor would be disposed and pitied.
His credit would be poor, his family
would be In want, and his town would
be ashamed of him and his paper.
or course the paper wouldn't cost
much for a year, advertising could be
purchased at 10 cent an inch. accounts
could run 80 days instead Of 30 and
merchants would donate" advertising
space just to help out the home town
paper"
Again, from another standpoint It
Is a difficult matter to consistently
publish week after week a home town
newspaper that Is bright, interesting.
educational, authoritative, honest, fair,
thorough In covering the news, and,
last but not least, successful %financi-
ally. Every editor must choose his
own course In publication work. He
can either slide along and "get by"
with an easy publication or he must
buckle down TO hard exacting work
and demand his just dues for a quality
product. More to follow next week.

WITH BEST.

News ONE this week that the
American Falls High School has been
placed on the accredited list by the
North Central as well as the North
western Association OF Higher and
Secondary Schools. This recognition 81
c~ommendable and speaks we'll for the
efforts of the local school board and
the staff of capable instructors that
has been employed.
Time was only a few years ago when
a graduate OF the local high school
went to college considerably handi-
capped. The best OF the higher insti-
tutions of learning required certain
credits that II was difficult to give In
American Falls. The student, rather
than spend his first year In prepare
tory work, II he could get into the col
lege or University at all, chose n les
ser institution and made q certain
sacrifice In ambition that was not de-
served on his own account.
II should be gratifying to the pat
rons of Power County and taxpayers
In general. to know that American
Falls offers as good as the best there
Is In school facilities.

for the farmers, this can be done with
out tax exemption. The objection is
10 making the general taxpayer carry
the burden of any special class OF citi-
zens through any form OF tax exemp-
ton.
There is no logical reason why the
line should be drawn between one
class of borrowers enjoying the privi-
lege Of cheap money, and another now
deprived Of It.
The indefinite extension of tax ex-
emption and complete specialization of
the economic life of the country go
hand in hand, and yet they seem in
evitable unless the line is drawn
against all exemptions.
Tax exemption Of securities virtually
amounts to transferring the entire bur-
den OF taxation to real property and
earned incomes.

This wonderful rat virus. which is known
as Alexander Rat-Killer. is merely mixed
with bread or meat scraps and placed where
rats, mice or gophers can get to it. Within
q few hours after rat has eaten Alexander
Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and suffers
q terrible thirst. He leaves the barns and
nesting holes and goes to the open fields in
search of pure air and running water. Rats
and mice affected always die away from
the barns and houses, so there is no odor.
1t is a scientific fact that one rat affects
others and soon the whole colony leaves the
buildings and dies. And though this virus
is absolutely deadly to rats-chickens, hogs,
cattle or any farm animal can eat it and
not be affected at all.
