earlier photoplay successes. Now
the same director, William D. Taylor
has taken the beloved vagabond
Huck Finn, and made him the hero
of a film that is said to be even more
enjoyable than its predecessors.
Lewis Sargent, boy-actor, red
haired and freckle-faced and an ex-
perienced pantomimist appears as
Huck Finn. Gordon Griffith is Tom
Sawyer and the rest Of the cast
maintains the same high standard.
Julia Crawford Ivers, one OF the
cleverest of scenarists, adapted
"Huckleberry Finn" to the screen
and thruout has maintained the true
Mark Twain flavor. 1t is a Para

matter as to how they should take
care of transportation for the county
officers. They wanted to decide
whether they would have each officer
and county farm bureau man who
travelled the road use his own car
and be responsible for the upkeep
and expenses and receive mileage to
cover it or whether they would go
on the way they have been doing.
Assessor Malcolm and Sheriff Sim
mons were anxious to get the matter
settled, especially Mr.. Malcolm, who
wants to plan his campaign of assess
ment. When they were about to act
upon the matter, Editor Trego asked
If they had made any Investigations
as to what commercial companies
pay to their road men where they
have men on the road with cars all
the time. They replied that they
had not. Mr.. Trego stated that some
information had been offered him
on that line and if the board cared
to hear it, he would present the in
formation to them the way it had
been presented to him.

that 80 per cent Of the repair work
done on cars is due to carelessness

prevent the greater part Of the wear

pressed interest and promised to con-
slider it.

E. FORREST TAYLOR
IN "CAPPY KICKS"

The E. Forrest Taylor company
will present the delightful and whole
some play "Cappy Kicks" at the
Orpheum theatre in the near future
Mr.. Taylor needs no introduction to
the playgoers of Blackfoot as he has
established an enviable reputation
thru his splendid acting and versatile
ity.
"Cappy Kicks" is the old sea-far-
ing dog gruff, clustering, head
strong, but never vindictive, who has
been immortalized by Peter B. Kyne.
Cecil Pericles Bernard, young
waster from New York, whose father
has tired of his pursuit Of the chorus
girl of Broadway, is sent out to his
fathers old friend "Cappy" in an
effort to make man of him and in
cidentally with weather eye to bust
ness, for the father hopes that Cecil
will become attached to Florence
Kicks, the pretty daughter and heir
ess of "Cappy."
Betsy Grimsby, the stenographer
In the office of Alden P. Kicks, later
proves to be the chorus girl friend
who Cecil so presistentlys pursues.
Matt Peasley, the handsome and
pertinent first mate, is in love with
Florence Kicks and the double love
affair starts and runs thru the play
with Matt being the choice of
Florence and Cecil getting the girl
his father sent him to escape from.
The play Is comedy-drama with
delightful love story and a vein, Of
pathos running turnout.

prevail by the governor, provided 1t
gains the required two-thirds ma
jority in each house.
Declared Necessary
R. E. Davis, chairman of the state
board CT land commissioners, yester-
day explained that some such legit-
lative action Is necessary in the
present stringent money market 1t
the state Is not to be compelled to
declare forfeited large number of
sales of state lands now in progress.
Farmers and stockmen, he said. who
have purchased state lands on the
ten-year installment plan and have
made one or two payments down,
find themselves unable to meet pay
ments now due, even tho they have
already obtained an extension Of
time on the first payment for one
year. This means that, unless the
law Is changed, the sale will be can
celled and the money already paid to
the state vii be forfeited, the law
giving the land board no discretion
in the matter Of foreftures.
Sold at Good Prices
Some of these sales" said Mr..
Davis, were made at good prices to
the state ranging as high as $37 an
acre in one case, for grazing lands.
1t is doubtful if the lands could be
sold again for anything like the
prices the state has sold them at.
The purchasers may be able to meet
payments for one-half the amount,
and it would be good business policy
for the land board, in some in
stances, to permit the reduction of
the payments and to grant extensions
of time for longer periods. The
money is simply not to be had by
the purchasers, in considerable
number of instances, at present"
Mr.. Davis pointed out that there
are many localities in the state,
where the land is suitable only for
grazing, and where, even as grazing
land, it is necessary for the woner to
have large areas under his control
If he is to engage in ranching with
any chances of success. The cover
head he pointed out, is as large
with band of $50 sheep as it is
with one of $50. Conditions shuch
as these may have prompted stock
men to endeavor to pudchase larger
amounts of land than their finances,
under present market conditions,
would justify.

COUNTY CAR EXPENSES

The board is a good deal troubled
over what to do with the qeustion of
the farm bureau. 1t is asking for
an appropriation of $500 for 1921.
They expended $9337.61 in 1920;
$S699 in 1919; $3453 in 1918. In
addition to this the federal govern
ment and the state give a gread deal
some Of 1t in cash and some by lend
ing us helpers or sending helpers to
help carry out the plans. Then the
members all paid 81 apiece and when
the farm bureau was publishing it's
monthly newspaper the business men
were assessed for advertising and
many Of them responded generously
just because it was for the farm
bureau. 1t was big popular insti-
tuition and everybody was expected
to boost for it. If anybody uttered
words of criticism he was counted
as a knocker and invited to become a
member and stop knocking. For a
long period it was fashionable for
every business man to throw a dollar
into the farm bureau treasury, be-
come member, get a big yellow sign
and put it up in their front windows
saying, Farm Bureau Member" It
was cheap way of advertising.
Every time the question of the
farm bureau appropriation comes up
the commissioners think of the car
expense once more. They asked
Clerk Fisher for more Information
about what it cost to operate the
farm bureau cars and ne gives them
total, finally, showing that the
second hand Ford car for 1920 cost
$954.95 for oil, gas and operating
expense including all repairs. That
does not include the original cost of
the car. They bought a new Dodge

The house of representatives. by
adopting the senate's concurrent
resolution, Joined with the upper
house in inviting former Governor
James H. Hawley and others to adj
dress a joint session of the legisla-
ture on the subject of preserving
1daho's historic relics and tradi-
tions. The date of the meeting pro-
vided for in the resolution is Mon.
day, Jan. "a.
Seven bills were introduced in the
hOnse. Four we're brief measures
of the committee on state affairs, in
continuation of it's program for
eliminating all continuing appropria-
tions in variouc state departments so
that their expenses mat be definitely
estimated and met by specific appro-
priation at each session of the leg
islature.
Other bills introduced at Friday
mornings session in the lower house
were as follows:
by Welker-To insert the mime of
che American Legion in the statute
forbiding improper use of the en-
blem of certain patriotic and frater-
nal societies.

Now the natural impulse OF the
American people is to send food OF

other clothing into Mrs. ice by mail.

Attempt VIII be
Made to Stop
Appropriations

House bills No. Is to No. % in.
elusive, introduced In the lower body
at the Thursday morning session by
the committee on state affairs, mark
the beginning of what Is predicted to
be an avalanche of measures emanat-
ing from the joint sessions of the
house and senate state affairs COM
mittees. All the measures have for
their purpose the disseminating OF
appropriations and If passed, will
cause the department effected to
come to the legislature each session
and ask for an appropriation instead
of having 1t provided automatically.
Three of the measures are amen
datory, the other five are repeating
previous statutes, substituting the
newer one.
Practically all Of the measures are
in accord with recommendation of
the audit commission, which were re-
Gently published. Senator Yeaman
of Bonneville county, president of
the commission, is also chairman of
the senate committee on state affairs.
viii Stop Appropriations
The appropriations which these
bills seek to cancel are the follow
ing:
The appropriation to the state
land board for the payment of un-
earned interest of land sale certifl-
Gates
The appropriation for the trans
portation of inmates of the Industrial
Training school to the children'e
home.
The appropriation xpr the main
tenance of the state militia.
The appropriation to offset fed
eral funds under the Smith-Hughes
act of 1917.
The appropriation for the state
prison library.
The appropriation to meet the ex-
penses incurred by the state expert
mental station in the enforcement
of the pure seed law.
The appropriation for the state
law library at Boise.
The appropriation for the travel
ing expenses of the attorney general
when attending federal court.
This block of bills is probably the
forerunner Of a group of measures,
based on the recommendations of the
audit commission, which have for
their main purpose the curtailment
of expense of the state. BY repeal
ing and amending the old statutes
referred to in the bills it becomes
necessary for the various depart
ments effected to make out budget.
