The boy was but 16 years old when

BUILDING SECTIONAL STRIFE

Here is statement that was given
70 the Associated Press a few days
igo by Congressman Madden Of Illi-
nois. The statement follows:
For the first time in history
tho territory which pays :he bulk
OF Federal taxes will have full
working control OF the House Of
Reprl sentatives after March 4.
Checking up the new list yes
to-day. Representative Madden,
Republican, Of Illinois, found that
with tn opening Of the new ses-
sion the section east Of the Miss
s.pp and ncrth OF the Ohio
rivers would have a solid Re
publican voting strength Of 92s.
The House majority is 2lS. Mr.
Iadden's figures indicated this
ection pays Slis per cent Of all
taxes, with the South and West,
now able TO control the House by
Joint action, paying the balance.
"This wilr'>give the Rcpubli-
cans from the taN-paying belt n
clean majority hereafter over all
other combinations" Mr.. Madden
declared. "and | believe we will
soon begin to see change In
sectional or class legislation.
Under Democratic administra-
tions the South has been in tho
saddle. and the South paid only
per cent OF all taxes. Most
people have imagined that the
landslide put the West on top In
the House. but that is wrong
by their vote in November

We want to make one observation
ON the new tariff, however.

the people decree that the tail no
longer should wag the dog in
Congress-
Marvin Jones. the brilliant young
congressman who was raised at VAL
ley View, Texas, and who represents
the Amarillo district of Texas in con-
gross, has read the statement on the
floor of congress thereby getting it
in the Congressional Record and then
he very ably answers it proving con-
clusively that he is worthy of repre-.
senting a section of the great pro-
ducing area Of the country.
1t seems that every congress must
have some man of the calibre of Con-
gresham Madden to raise sectional
questions and to attempt to build up
sectional hatred in our country.
1t is remarkable that SO small a
portion of the country should pay
so large portion of the federal taxes
and does the ingenuity of that Sec
ton credit for being so progressive.
But as Mr.. Jones brings out in his
reply if the country west of the
Mississippi and south of thee Ohio
were to be detached from the nation
there would not be so much wealth in
the east.
The country complained of paying
so small sum Of the federal taxes
produces the wool to keep the woolen
mills busy, it produces the cotton to
clothe the nation and 1t produces the
oil to operate the factories and the
ship lines. The wealth from the
wool and to the cotton and the oil
finds its way to the east and the
federal taxes are paid there while
the great area of the west and south
have largely produced the wealth
The lines of railway that traverse
our section of the country have theii
headquarters in the east but mucf
Of their wealth is brought from this
portion of the country. Mr.. Nader
could have easily enough told o
the watering of the great railway
systems and of their having beer
MIXED dry by the men who arr
called the financial wizards Of th'
world and show how the wealth de
rived from the milking process fount
its way TO the east. He could hav'
told the Associated Press that tn
wealth upon which the large packing
companies pay taxes originated in III
section he complains Of.
If Mr.. Madden glories in the though
that the east shall own and contro
the nation he ought also be willin
l for the east to fight the wars. Blu

when an army is to be raised. Wit

GLOOM ON ''U' CAMPUS
OVER GRID PROSPECTS
IDAHO ELEVEN MAY HAVE 1MEDI.
OGRE" SEASON PROSPECTS
NONE TOO GOOD.

Using Coach Kelley's continued
pessimism as criterion, the Idaho
eleven is embarking on what may de-
velop into nothing more than a med. :
ocre" season. Although this predic-
t0n is not final it is the general i'm
preston which hOvers over the silver
md gold camp. Felix Plastino, last
years captain and center, and Pat
Perrine, tackle, are badly missed at
Idaho this year. Coach Kelley is
quite free in his assertions that con
adorable difficulty is being expert
ehced, citing the loss OF Plastino and
Perr1ne, in building up a line with
strength eQualling that of last years
eleven.
At best Idaho will do nothing more
than hobble into information against
the Ninth Army Corps Area team of
Camp Lewis here Saturday. In case
the squad doesn't hobble in, most of
the sub-position men will be given
chances, for the varsity is badly
crippled, much more so than is good
for an opening game. especially with
such a strong aggregation as the one
coming from Camp Lewis The
'1Frosh" have been banging the var
sity around numerically during the
opening weeks OF pTdCtlc0 ana dS q
result several Of the first-string
mainstays are temporarily, if not
permanently, on the shelf.
Captain Grover Evans, right end,
is suffering from a rib bruise so seri-
GUS that he has been unable to par
ticipate in scrimmages for more than
a week. Abe Goff center, fell victim
to a painful muscle bruise in recent
fracas with the "Frosh." Huck Bre-
shers, fullback, is out of action with
I sprained ankle, Dale Vohs, guard,
and Babe Brown, fullback, are out
with injured shoulders Other In
turies, alone sufficient to reduce the
of Kelley's machine, are
also reported. A valient effort is being
made to nurse the crippled back into
shape for the opening game.
Idaho is also handicapped by not
having any early season games sche-
1uled, but in view of the present con-
iition of certain members of the
squad it would be to our disadvant-
age to run them against any very
strong aggregation, said Coach Kel-
ey.

ARRANGE FOR SPECIAL
TRAIN TO PULLMAN GAME

Keyed to the highest pitch and
ready for the crucial battle of the
entire gridiron season the Idaho"
student body, fortified by the greater
part Of the citizens of Moscow, will
move in on Pullman for the annual

nounced that 12-car rooters special
would leave Moscow at 1:35 o'clock
Friday afternoon for Pullman. Twelve
cars have a capacity of more than
200 persons. Mr.. Klippel said the
special would be side-tracked near
the w. s. C. campus, where it will
stand to pick up the delegation after
the game.
In view of the low fare to be

afternoon at Lewiston when they
walked away with the first game Of
the season from the Lewiston high
school eleven by the lop-sided score
of 35 to 0. Every gamester on Coach
Buffers team played stellar football.
MOscow's goal line was never in
substantial danger during the whole
game and the Moscow backfield
smashed through almost at will for
substantial gains.

iston Morning Tribune said:

sity town went into the scrimmage
with fighting spirit and determina-
tion that was not to be denied"

SEPTEMBER FILINGS
IN DISTRICT COURT
SEVENTEEN ACTIONS INSTITUTED
DURING MONTH ABOVE
GENERAL AVERAGE

Homer E. Estes, clerk of the dis
trict court, reports civil cases filed
in his office during the month o
September, which is considerably
above the average number for any
one month. This calls for a fee OF
$40 for each suit filed, or total fee
of $170, from this one source alone.
Of this amount $119, or 81 from
each suit, goes to the current eX-
pense fund of the county, and $51, or
So on each suit filed, goes to the
state as stenographer's fee. Six OF
the IL suits filed were for quieting
titles, four were for divorces, two
were suits to collect insurance, one a
suit for rental, one suit for serv-
ices rendered, one a repleyin suit,
one a suit on promisSory note, and
one a mortgage foreclosure suit
At the office of county auditor, Mr..
Estes has received the monthly report
Of the county assessor showing the
collection of s15667 in motor vehicle
licenses for the month OF September,
which collections come largely from
the sale of new cars, as the license
on all old cars has been due and pay
able since January /. This brings
the total motor vehicle licenses col
lected for 1921 up to the sum of $32.-
667.11, one-fourth Of which amount
goes to the road fund of the state
of Idaho, and three-fourths Of said
amount goes to the county road fund,
and highway district road funds of
the county, said amount being appor-
toned back to the highway, or road
district from whence collected
The total amount of motor vehicle
license collected for the year of 1921
is still $700.37 behind the total col
lected from this source for the year
of 1920, and it would seem from estl-
mates that there is little chance for
this year to catch up, as for the re-
naming three months last year only
s114.25 was collected. This shrink
age will be unusual as for several
years this license fund has been
growing by several thousand dollars
over the amount of the previous years
collections

VARSITY PLAYERS TO
STAGE POPULAR COMEDY

Moscow people will have an appor.
tunity next Friday night to see ths
university show which this summer
advertised the university over Idaho
Oregon, Washington and Montana
when the Varsity Players, the dra
matists who staged the show, will
present their arce-comedy, Hell
husbands Wife," at the university
auditorium, starting at o'clock.
The play was given before good
house last spring and the return
homecoming night was encouraged
by townspeople who failed to see 1t
last fall and by many who desire to
see it again.
The players will also give their
production at Occur dAlene and Spo-
kane and probably other towns close
to Moscow.
While on the road this summer,
newspaper criticism was unusually
favorable and without exception,
theatre managers expressed strong
desire to book similar show next
year. At Boise, where the show was
Given before 1900 people, the play
was unusually we'll received and
alumni there are particularly anxious
to have another show next year.
Special scenery and ornate costumes
will be featured
Every humorous incident, every
opportunity for a good laugh, is
brought out with true dramatic skill
and the usual finish given to the
pIay enabled it to get a cordial re-
ception in towns where the univer-
sfty Is scarcely known.
Members of the cast are: Prof.
John H. Cushman, director of uni
versity dramatics who directed the
show and played a leading part, M.
A. Thometz, the star of Clarence,
Dona Eggan and Camille Mcdaniel,
each Of whom has featured many
MOSCOW and university productions,
Rex Kimmel and Virgil Bedwell.
The university has placed the show
on the official calendar SO that there
will be no conflicting engagement
next Friday night. The reserve seat
sale will be held at Sherfey's book
store, commencing Wednesday, Oc-
