In Memorian1

In loving memory of my dear siste,
Emma c. Parks, who died two years
ago today, February %, 1919.
Often when the days are brightest
There's gloom steals in my heart
For it brings back saddest memories
Of the day God bid US part.
There is one who still will linger,
Near the spot where you are laid.
Who will go and scatter flowers,
On the grave that Christ has made.
Loved in life, in death remembered
By her sister
MRS. ADDIE F. BENSON.

A BITULITHIC CORRECTION

In Wednesdays issue of the paper
an article regarding the different
types of pavement entitled Further
Light on Paving Question" written
by George B. Stone, representing the
Portland Cement association, con-
tanned statements to which exception
is taken by Mr.. Hartong, represent
ing the bitulithic pavement. BY an
oversight this article went in as an
original article supplied by the Idaho
Republican and should have been
marked as a contribution by Mr..
Stone.
Mr.. Hartong states that the article
is misleading to the extent Of one
inch in the thickness of pavement
thereby discrediting the bitulithic
pavement and its relations with the
federal government and state gov
eminent to the fact that the state
and federal governments partici-
pated in the construction of the Fort
Hall macadam road last summer
which is only five inches in thickness,
but 1t is what is known as monolite
construction consisting of three
inches of mixed base made up Of
rock and bitumen and a two inch
bituminous wearing surface. The
paving connecting Snake river bridge
with West Bridge street is to be of
the same construction. The pave
ment laid in ,Blackfoot in 1917 was
six inches thick consisting of a four
inch rock base without bitumen and
a two inch bituminous wearing sur
face. The five inch paving laid on
the plan named with the three inch
bituminous base and two inch wear
ing surface, he says, is considered
equivalent to the four inch rock base
and two inch bituminous wearing
surface. Mr.. Hartong emphasizes
the fact that the state and federal
government recognized the five inch
monolite construction as being the
equivalent of the six inch of the
other construction.

was divided with the work Of the
Red Cross office, the Red Cross office
taking that part which had to do
with looking after the poor and their
needs. Originally the probation Of
ficer was looking after the school
children, the delinquent children, the
widows and the indigents to some
extent. Last April and May, this Of
flee made some investigations of the
expenses being incurred by the pro-
baton officer and believe there Is a
waste of money unless the services
being rendered we're more valuable
than they appeared to be on the sur
face. To test the value Of these SER
vices request was made of the pro-
baton officer for information regard
ing the case of a widow in the town
Of BlackfOot who was applying for
county aid. The probation officer
replied that she did not know any
thing about the case and had never
heard of it. 1t had been before the
county government for years in vari-
GUS forms, the family lived within
half mile of the court house and
the officer that had been charged
with doing that work had no infor-
nation whatever. He said it was
probably being handled by the Red
Cross department with headquarters
in the Standrod Bank building. When
we applied there for information !
about the case, the woman in charge
knew nothing about it; it had not
been brought to her attention. She
had known of the family and their
needs and wants in former years;

HISTORY REPEATS
QUICKLY

Two years ago soon after the
armistice was signed there was a
wave of cancellation of orders among
merchants expecting that goods
would soon be cheaper and that they
would be getting bargain sales. The
result was that many people in the
factory districts among manufacture
ers Of clothing especially. large num-
bers of people lost their jobs i'm
mediately in consequence of orders
blythe merchants. The stocks of
goods everywhere had been so de-
pleted and they were running on
such close margins of supply that the
people who were cancelling orders
soon went to the other extreme and
began ordering goods by wire and
asking to have them shipped by ex-
press. Prices on these goods de-
livered were necessarily a little
higher than they had been before by
that reason and because of the great
shortage buyers were bidding against
each other and paying unprecedented
prices for goods. That situation con-
tinued for another year and a half in
times of peace and the very desire
and expectation Of the merchants to
get bargain prices made them pay
higher than ever before.
At the present time that exper-
fence is being repeated. There have
been substantial reductions in the
retail price of goods; people have
bought what they had to have for
immediate use and are holding off,
waiting for another substantial re-
ductiOn. Manufacturers have laid
off their workers by the thousands
waiting for orders for goods and
people having wool, hides and other
produce to sell that enter into the
manufacture of wearing apparel find
no sale for them. The wage work.
ers find no sale for their services and
both classes are waiting for condi-
lions to improve. The woolmen and
the cattlemen are waiting for the
wage workers to be able to use their
wool and hides and meat. The wage
workers are waiting for the sheep
men and the cattle men to be able
to buy their manufactured goods.
Everybody who is waiting for bar
gain prices is simply making the
situation more acute and adding to
the certainty that they will have to
pay higher prices than at present.
People who are waiting to buy
cheaper clothing will probably pay q
higher prices in the few weeks and
the next few months. People who
are waiting to buy cheaper shoes
basing their idea on the fact that
hides cannot be sold, are pretty GER
tain to pay higher prices for shoes
between now and spring.

PROBATION OFFICER
AND RED CROSS

The probation officer is under fire
just now and the system by which
we operate probation work. 1t would
be only fair to include the Red Cross
work under the same Investigation
and discussion. When any depart
ment of government is organized and
the need for action is great. the
people are apt to give considerable
authority and power to that depart
ment, supply plenty of funds with
which to do the work and put some
body in charge who is willing to take
it or who is SO little engaged in the
regular walks Of life or business that
they have nothing else to do and
can take such work, therefore the
incompetents stand better chance
OF being handed that kind of work
than the competent people. If the
lncompetents put in charge of the

work happen to be slackers besides
then the people get badly imposed
upon.
About ten years ago there was a
great wave Of reform in Idaho and a
great outburst of sentimental stuff
enacted into legislation. We we're
all at fault, but the fact that we were
all foolish for exercising poor judy
ment is no reason why We should
continue to be at fault and continue
to do a lot of foolish things. We
enacted the direct primary law, the
widows pension law, provided for
the probation officer and during the
war, we established Red Cross activ-
tiles that were needed at the time
and at the close of the war appointed
somebody to keep the Red Cross Of
fee open and to do whatever was
needed to be done.
In the earlier work of the proba-
ton officer, we had a person engaged
to do this work by the day whenever
there was anything to do. 1t was
under the direction of the probate
Judge and it lay between them to
make the work light or heavy or
rather it lay within their power to
arrange for many days work in a
month or few or to develop the job
into a steady one. Under the ad-
of a trusted and hon
pred officer it was developed into a
steady job and has since been recog-
nized as such. The people know very
little about what the probation Of
icer is doing and at about the close
Of the war, the work of the office

she underwent an operation for ap-

Mrs. Albert Fisher has Just re-
ceived the sad news of the death Of
her nephew but will be unable to
attend the funeral. Her mother
from Blackfoot and sister from Idaho

and extend their sympathy to the
bereaved family.

she supposed they had been taken
care Of: she saw the woman fire..
Quently, but she did not know they
were in need and did not know any
thing about their application for aid,
o..e said she would investigate the
case and report to The Republican
office what we're her findings. We
said that we thought 1t would be well
to investigate and see whether they
were making proper use of the aid
they had been receiving and of the
resources which they possessed. The
family had room to raise consider
able garden and it might be we'll to
investigate to see whether they were
raising weeds or vegetables on that
garden tract. The children in the
family were old enough to do con-
siderable for themselves if they
would and before making appropria-
tions of the county funds for them
to live on it would be desirable to
know whether they were making
such use as they could of the re-
sources at the disposal. She said
that she would report her findings
in the case She was taken i'll not
long afterwards and never reported.
Further along in the summer we re-
ported the case to her successor in
office who said that she knew moth
ing about the case as it had never
been brought to her attention. She
received our statements of the case
similar to what were made to the
other women when she was in
charge of the office, said she would
investigate it and would report to
The Republican office what she
found out as to whether they were
deserving or not and what use they
were making of the resources at
their command. Six months more
have passed away and that office has
never made any report upon the case
and the woman in question is draw
ing heavily on the county treasury
for support for herself and family. |
In the old days when we had no
probation officer and no Red Cross
department things were better cared |
for than that. With Doth of these
people drawing salaries and the fam
lily drawing support from the county,
the family living within half mile
Of the court house and the probation
officer charging hundreds of dollars
for driving out to distant places in
the county to look after children who
are alleged to be absent from school,
we feel no hesitation in saying that
there is something wrong about the
system and something wrong ahouf |
the way it is administered.

FIRTH

Once more the need of q fire bell
and well organized bucket bridage
was proved by the fire which occurred
here Wednesday morning. 1t origin
ated by the explosion of q kerosene
lamp which had been placed too near
hot stove in the store of Frank
Blecher. Mr.. Blecher had just built
the fire. He Immediately reported
the explosion to the night Waterman,
Ernest Mastin, who notified the
villagers. The men are due a great
deal Of credit for controlling the fire
as soon as they did considering that
they had nothing to work with ex-
cept garden hose and tin buckets.
The entire Belcher store and con-
tents were burned, the roof of the
First National Bank was demolished
and the scale house of Orion Andrus
was destroyed. The total loss is
estimated at $4,000 partly covered
by insurance.
An error occurred in last weeks
items concerning Jessie Firth. It
was stated that she had resumed her
school duties which was incorrect.
What she had done is get married
and her name is n ow Mrs. Carl SUIT
ton. 1t is reported that she and her
husband are spending their honey
moon in California.
