Evening Session
LABOR GETS $50 PER DAY

NEW YORK.-Prosperity, high
wages, renewed prosperity has hit
New York and the east with a bang
and from all intents and purposes
the people of the country are due
for a renewed season of activity
after the deflation and slump that
left things fiat.
AS an example in New York City
in the building trades which are at
the peak it is no unusual thing for
men to be paid SIS a day and even
as high as $50 a day has been paid
to skilled labor in some Of the build
ing trades. The fact is brought to
the attention that the railroads are
almost at the peak of their carrying
capacity and the car 1oadings are
bringing optimism into the minds
and hearts of the people. Loading
of cars with revenue freight is only
1000 carloads behind the highest
point in railroad history, that being
the month of October, 1920.
The buyers strike which was so
much in evidence a short time back,
has disappeared and there is gen.
eral rush to buy all over the east
with the result that mercantile in
which feared to lay in a
supply of stock find themselves
bought out. Their frantic demands
for more goods has speeded up the
plants.
Building is at high mark. Labor
is employed. Auto manufacturers
report operating their plants at full
capacity.
The farmer will realize a profit on
his labor and investment for the
people having money will buy foods
and turn for the better in farming
sections is noticeable. The purchas-
ing power of majority Of the peo-
pie has returned and the farming
will eventually get the
benefits.

regarding such appropriations. A
couple Of them said that man
claiming to be the secretary of the
Southeastern Idaho Fair had intro
duced himself to them at Spokane
and said he wanted to have a talk
with them and then left their pres
ence without stating what his bust
ness was.
When Secretary Mcknight was
questioned about the matter on
Wednesday, he said 1t was true that
he did not bring back any money
from Spokane, nor he did not bring
back any contract nor pledge, but
that he had made his applications
and that we would receive the ap-
preparations in due season, that is,
If we did our part to complete it. On
being asked what that was he said
it would be necessary for our fair
board or it's secretary to write to
these organizations and tell them
what we have at our fair, what
stock is exhibited, where the stock
men live who are expected to ex-
hibit at the 1923 fair, whether in
Bingham county, Lemhi county,
Caribou county etc., and lay all the
facts before them for consideration
in their annual meeting so they
could act upon it, and he had the
promise that If 1t was all right, they
would put it over.
When we expressed our regret
that he did not inform us in that
language at the former interview he
said he supposed he should have,
but that in another six weeks, If he
were left on the job to do the writ
ing, or If anyone else attended to it,
the business would be secured. If
the letters were not written, then
of course, we would fail to get the
appropriations and we should have
only such moneys as we had this
year and the tax payers would have
to put up the money to cover an
other deficit. It would be advisable
for the board to keep him or some
body on the job to look after these
and other things as they come up.
The active work of the fair seems
to have been finished about the first
OF October, and it does not seem to
be the intention Of the boards to
keep the secretary continuously en-
ployed, tho no definite action seems
to have been recorded on that sub
ject.
It is understood that the present
years special levy for fair purposes
will raise enough money to pay Off
the second and last instalment Of
the purchase price of the property.
so that in future years all we have
to do is to erect enough additional
buildings to keep pace with the
growth Of the fair and appropriate
enough money to cover the premium
list, and most Of that money remains
in the district that supports the fair.

All Of southern ID Do has become
aroused to the necedeity Of reduc-
tion in freight rates II the farming
and livestock industries Of the state
are to survive. This was brought out
at state meeting Of representatives
of nineteen OF the thirty-three
counties of southern Idaho, held in
Pocatello, Friday, Nov. II.
A state organization was per-
fected to be known as the Idaho
Freight Rate Reduction association.
with w. L. Shattuck of Idaho Falls,
president Of the Idaho Falls Cham
Der of Commerce, selected as presi-
dent OF the state association, and G.
]. Carlson Of Idaho Falls, president
Of the Bonneville County Potato
Growers association, as state secre-
tary. The state is divided into
three districts: The southeastern,
with Idaho Falls as the center;
south central, with Twin Falls as
center, and southwest. with Cald-
well as the center. There will be
board of fifteen directors. five from
each section.
A committee Of three was ap-
pointed to prepare data at once to
present to the railway ! executives
and the members of the State Pub
lie Utilities Commission at q meet
ing to be held in Boise, December
4. This is made up Of J. A. Harbour
Of Twin Falls, w. M. Copeland of
Caldwell. and l.. M. Earl of Idaho
Falls, who will gather data on
freight rates on potatoes, grain, hay,
livestock, fruits, dairy and poultry
products out OF the state and on
coal, lumber, farm machinery and
other commodities into the state.
j. A resolution was adopted to the
effect that 1t was the sense of the
meeting that demand be made on
the members of the State Public
Utilities Commission that the COM
mission should be required to prose-
cute the case of the people for the
state in securing freight rate reduc-
lions rather than the commission sit
oAAy do Juu6Oo VI tu0 COkupldluLS
brought before them and that if
necessary the state laws be amended
to that effect. The resolution is to
be presented to Governor-elect C. C.
Moore, with the request that he
take it upon himself as a personal
matter to see that the personnel of
the commission be made up Of men
who will act in the interest Of the
people as we'll as the Public Utilities
Commission or resign.
Petitions are being circulated
over the state generally asking the
people to lend their moral support
to the association in order to secure
a reduction in the freight rates.
The Pocatello meeting is the out
growth OF a meeting held at Idaho
Falls on November 8, addressed byI
Senator Gooding, at which time the
movement was started for freight
rate reductions thruout the state.

Correcting the Secretary
In recent issue of The Republi
can we published statement
authorized by Secretary Mcknight
of the fair, to the effect that he had
just returned from the Northwest
Livestock Show at Spokane, where
he went on the authority of the
county commissioners to see If he
could secure appropriations from
livestock companies for our 1928
fair, and he informed us that he
made the trip at an expense Of $1OO
of county money and secured bust
neses amounting to $1,000, and he
gave us a list of the names and
amounts, which we published in the
article. He said that he. was also
on track Of some more money from
manufacturers which he hoped to.
secure.
It has since developed that
representatives of some of the asso-
Citations named have disclaimed
making any contract or any pledge

Last Years Report

Last Years report
The report of the 1921 fair
showed deficit of about $4,000, of
which $4,000 was for premiums and
about $1,000 for miscellaneous
things. The report when issued,
showed a greater deficit, but it in
cluded buildings and grading ex-
penses, fence, sidewalk and things
Of a permanent character. In max
ing up the 1922 report, only
$4,000 was shown in permanent
improvements and this was made up
of small matters, which the fair
board had done. The improvements
supposedly made by the county COM
missioners, for which bills are on
file and which are not, included in
the above report, total $2555.59 and
this, and the pavement tax Of
$1395.14, added to the $6090.6
deficit shown in the Stufflebeam re-
port makes a total loss and invest
ment combined of $10,00S.33 for
the year 1922 for comparison with
the 1921 report as it appeared when
the deficit of operation was COM
bined with the cost of permanent
improvements.
Five copies of the 1921 report
were made, but none of them could
be found this week, tho one copy
has been in use lately and will prob
ably come to light and be returned
to the county clerks office.
