Charlie says he wrote it. Probably
he did. A news bureau sent q type
written copy Of the article to US
from Boise. as it probably sent it to
. number of other papers in the
state requesting publication. It did
not show who was the author so we
followed newspaper ethics and
marked it Contributed"
It isn't the mark of a big, able
mind for Charlie to rear up and shout
nine different kinds Of naughty
names just because we didn't know
who he was. Hereafter If Charlie
writes anything worth while, any
thing with the bunk omitted, we will
copy it and print Charles picture
with it, so people may know that he
is the one that is great, and bullying
with ideas.
In Mondays paper we reprinted
three paragraphs about George
Washington. that was written by
Bancroft, the historian, and we over
looked giving Mr.. Bancroft credit

printed. We are awfully worried
now, for fear Mr.. Bancroft will feel
the loss and turn in his grave.

1T WAS VERY
WELL SAID

Over at the Blackfoot high school
few days ago, Miss Countryman was
addressing the student body on
hygiene and she remarked about as
follows: Some of our girls seem to
forget the season and wear their
summer clothes in the winter time.
AS | look over this room | see that
most of the girls are dressing them
selves according to the season. Those
that are wearing the very thin ma
terials, the georgette waist, the gar
ments with low cut about the neck,
are dressing for the summer time.
There is snow and ice outside folks
and the winds are cold. Don't wear
out your summer clothes in the win
ter time; you might not have any
thing suitable to put on when the
hot weather comes. This room is
kept at about the right temperature
and you should dress so that you will
be comfortable in this room without
keeping your coats or sweaters on.
Allow me to say that not all of the
girls are wearing a sensible shoe; the
very high heel and especially the
French heel is not suitable shoe
for you to wear every day. 1t is all
right girls, If you want to put on
those very beautiful high heel shoes
to go out for social event for few
hours; that will not do you any par
ticular harm, but to make a practice
of wearing them is not a sensible or
healthful thing to do. Did you ever
notice how the girl walks, who has
that kind Of heel? Here is the way
she walks" and Miss Countryman
went stubbing awkwardly across the
stage to illustrate. Continuing, she
said, 1T does not make for ease nor
grace nor beauty nor good health to
wear that kind of shoes"
We get some idea of the love of
ornament that occupies the thoughts
of girls and women when we observe
to what extent they suffer distress
and ill health for the purpose of car
rying out such ideas of ornamental
ton. One hot day last summer, the
editor of The Republican met a girl
friend on the street, wearing a fur
cape. 1t was hung on a slant across
her back and one shoulder to get as |
much ventilation as she could while |
yet wearing it. We asked the ques-
ton, "Why the fur on this hot day."
and she replied, well, wanted to
wear something to show off and the
,ur was the only thing had so wore
that"

The Tax Forum
Everybody's Comments

Some Of the professional men who
were written up In the last tax article
would like to make it clear that those
who own real estate have been as
sessed for the real estate. They
don't want people to get the idea that
just because they have not been as.
sessed on their business that they
have not paid on their homes. Our
discussion Of the situation applied
only to their business
Percy Jones said he had heard
about exemptions and thought per.
haps his printing office was exempt
the same as q carpenters tools or
. dentists tools. He hadn't looked
the matter up, but had paid the as
sessment on his house and had re-
ceived no bill from the present asses
sor on his printing office DR.. Bern
hisel says he has had a home since
1915 and has always paid the taxes
on 1t, but received no bill for any,
thing else.
The Bingham County News seems
sensitive about their office tax and
said they had not only paid what was
due on it of the 1920 tax, but had
paid the June installment as WE'LL
When the court was making a deed
transferring it from the receivership
to the present owner they required
that the June installment of the taxes
be paid making the title absolutely
clear In that respect. This will be
glad news to the public to know that
the receivers paid something that
was not otherwise required until
June.
The barber shop of Arthur and
Robbins ask for a correction to in
form the public that the assessment
for the shop was included in the as
sessment of Mr.. Arthur's home: it
was taken care Of thru that source
to the extent of $3.50, this being all
the assessor required.
Lewis Robbins of Moreland says
the people of his community have
studied the tax matter and were very
pronounced in the opinion that
remedies must be applied so that
everybody must bear his part of the
tax burden as nearly as it is humanity
possible to adjust it. He says he
thinks the Republican central COM
mittee shall no longer look on i n
silence upon the mal-administration
of public office by the Republican
He thinks it is up to the
committee to see that remedy is ap-
piled and that the office is admin
lstered properly from now on.

Firef1ies Make Pretty / toht.

Myriads Of fireflies lowering over a
gentle river Sc swarm and cling to-
gether that they appear at one time
like luminous cloud, again like q
great ball Of sparks. Cloud or ball..
the wonder soon breaks and thousands
OF the fallen insects drift with the
stream while new swarms form. re-

that a Japanese poet wrote: do I see
only fredies drifting with the current,
or Is the night itself drifting, with all
Its swarming stars?" ..

SOME BINGHAM COUNTY
HISTORY

In the good old days before thu
direct primary, political part wa
sort of a father or Santa Claus t
the government or jurisdiction
When either political party was IL
power it was responsible for the con
sequences. A party is represented by
what is called a central committee
In our county affairs, the party Is
known as the county central com.
mittee. II the county government
should be good then the county GEN.
trail committee would have nothing to
be anxious about. If the county gov
eminent were lame or corrupt they
would be held responsible for 1t and
when they found these things were
not going right the responsibility
would attach to them and in the
natural exercise of their duty they
would seek to apply a remedy and
get things right as soon as possible.
Bingham county is a Republican
county, most of the time and has had
Republican officials more than Demo-
cratic officials. It came near max
ing change in these matters few
years ago and 1t was only by COIN
cident that it continued to be Re-
publican county. At the last cleo
ton was elected full Republican
ticket, the at the present time the
party is treading on very thin ice be-
cause not all of the departments in
the county government are in good
hands and being well administered.
A review Of the politics of the county
might be interesting at this time and
certainly would be profita BILE to peo-
pie who are concerned about the DO
litical complexion of the county.
About fifteen years ago a political
ring was somewhat developed in
Bingham county and when there was
any liability of a change Of admins
tration or substantial change in the
personnel of the officers, representa-
tives of the clique would put up that
old plea that the county is in debt. !,
that there were bonds and warrants
and that those who are
with the situation should be |
kept in office to look after those mat
tiers and see that they are handled |
about right. That used to scare some !
of US comomn folks: we did not un- |
derstand very thoroly this matter of /
bonds and warrants; it sounded /
rather mysterious to talk about retir- !
Ing bonds and to redeem warrants
it looked like a big
question to us and naturally we hest
lated about making any changes in
officialdom.
About ten years ago the clique be-
gan to get more prosperous and de-
felop more rapidly and with more
cheek, doing things for each other
ind for their friends that were not
light and which the people paid for.
During all that period the judiciary
vas the most corrupting influence in
he county and the district and the /
'otteness worked from the top down,
