A CIVIC LEAGUE NEEDED.

Mr.. Editor-Conditi0Rs in American.
Falls are perhaps no verse than Hey
are in the average western own En-
respects, l have no doubt, u
they are very much better but they
weald be much improved by the or
gapizatien of a Citizens Leagus. How
ever Jealous individuals may be sor the
moral betterment of the Town, they
can accomplish little without or&anl-
zatiou> A strong citizens league is a
never falling deterTant to the laWless.
/ Public sentiment may be healthty
| enough along moral lines, but it needs
ta be organized and wisely directed
The churches and the homes may Gre
ate and educate public sentiment, 5ut
they need some sympathetic and effec-
tive agency to bear upon wrong-doers,
both In office and out of it.
A citizens league of twelve or TWEEN
Nv earnest, intelligent men, would be
q strong leverage for good In our
| Town. The writer knows by 0ng and
\ rather intense experience that the aver
eBage public officer is intensely human.
He will not be apt to enforce laws that
may bring aim a Discharges or a reprI-
r1and from sis superiors. But Tey him
feed that he has the backing OK an or
ganized group of p~ublic-spartted and
Influential citizens and he would not
, hesitate to discharge his duty. /.
Aesin such a. League. could sfant
back of a movement for educating and
stimulating public sentiment by pub
lie gatherings, and inspirationaf ad-
dresses by competent speakers An
aroused and qudekened public senti-
Iment, with the fearless and. rorcsfui
backing of a w~ide-awake citizens Lea
que would promptly serve stern warn
: ing to bootleggers and deiinquenas' IN
i public office that American Falls
would hold its lawiesss citizens as well
e as its paid public servants toea prompt
and strict accountability.

UNIONS ARE ALERT
Watch Closely Developments of

Court Law Failure Declares
Secretary of Federation.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Frank Morri-
son. secretary of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor. today declared the
the failure of the idea on which the
Kansas industrial court is based.
approximately goo miners quit
work in Kansas in the face of an order
not to strike" Morrison declared.
This shows you cannot compel men
to work with the machinery of a
court or any other. form of compul-
sorry arbitration. The strike demon
strates conclusively the contention of
labor that constitutional means should
be resorted to for the abolition of this
court"
Leaders of labor are keeping in
close touch with the Pittsburg situa-
ton where the industrial court is con-
Quoting an investigation to determine
whether officials of the United Mine
Workers union issued written orders
directing the men to quit work This
would be a violat>on of the courts in
junction against conspiracy. If Off
Gals of the union are convicted of
having violated the injunction. they
will be open to punishment by the
court either thru Jail sentences or fines
or both.
Labor leaders here believe that
should Imprisonment of local union
leaders result from the investigation.
the situation will develop a national
significance which may lead to drastic
action by union men in all sections of
the United States.
In this connection, officials of the
American Federation Labor and the
big international unions. are interested
in the problem that confronts Presi-
dent-elect Harding in choosing a new
head of the labor department..
Appointment of James G. Davis,
head of a big fraternal organization,
as secretary of labor. would bring lit
tie applause from labor, it is indicated
here Labor regards Davis, banker
as having an outlook on industrial re-
lations akin to that of men of wealth.
The fact that Davis is reported to have
at one time been a member of union
would have little weight with the lead
ers here, altho none of them have
come out frankly against him.

WANT SODA TAX REPEAL
Prospects of Hot Summer Causes
New Demand on Congress.

Washington, Feb. sAGreundhos
promises of pleasant spring and
goosebone predictions OF d rather tor
rid summer have started a flood of
petitions to congress to repeal the
wartime tax on the poor mans drink.
One day, back in 1919. when the
temperature was hitting it up around
the hundred mark, the mouse voted to
remove the, one cent tax on soda wa
ter and ice cream but nothing ever
happened after that. The measure
was sent to the senate and apparently
put in cold storage.
Some of the petitions set forth in
asnluch as the only thing a man may
drink now is soft and lacking in pep,
he ought to be permitted to drink it
without being taxed.
