STATE COMMANDER
AMERICAN LEGION
DELIVERS ADDRESS

Thursday evening Robert D.
Leeper state post commander of the
American Legion and Lester f. Al
bert, department adjutant addressed
a crowd at the railroad park. Mr..
Albert was the first speaker and
gave message to the people con-
sisting mostly of the work of the
Legion and contemplated work In
the sta !. and emphasized particu-
larly the duty of the members Of
Legion to each other.
Robert d, Leeper, gave a de-
scription in brief Of the condition
that the boys found while overseas,
and the condition Of business as
found upon their return in which
they were counted out, Of their old
positions in civil life. He brought
this out in particular and the APP
parent antagonism toward the mem
bers of the Legion by those who
had been appointed to the places
that the Legion boys had filled be-
fore going to the war
He told several stories of person
al experiences, one about big
company of American boys who
went to Canada to show them their
friendship. At Montreal they We're
given an Official banquet with sew
en- courses and at each plate set Il
wine set with seven glasses filed
with various kinds OF liquor. The
speaker not being accustomed to
banquets elf this character and not
understanding that they were sup
posed to drink one glass at each
course, proceeded to drink all .-eyen
before the first course was begun,
and the walters tried their best to
keep the glasses filed. The speak
er finally found himself with one
arm around member Of the par
llment and the othef arm around
his wife, he noticed a digni6ed per-
son standing in one croner with a
red cap en- his head and found out
that he was the Cardinal Of Cam
ada He was filled with a desire
to shake hands with this person,
and offered his hand and said Hell
10 Cardinal, I'm mighty glad to meet
you" The Cardinal drew back a
few steps, but finally accepted hts
hand and said to the soldier, my
son | am glad to meet YOU"
Thus would the American frank
ness interpret the English customs
the same freedom and spirit
nat exists in our country here, and
the speaker believed that if the Le-
gion boys would use that same
spirit with the people they would
be grasped by the hand and as
cured Of confidence and respect.

At meeting held Monday night
IT was decided to call off the fourth

their money after II was stated that
the Glenns Ferry bali team refused
to play in this city on that date,

Those in charge evidently be-
lieved that no other attraction could
take the place of bali game, and

cure team from any other place.

DEMOCRATS ARE
ORGANIZED FOR
1922 CAMPAIGN
Club w t h More Than
Twenty Members w i'll
Arouse Interest in Issues
to be Voted on at Novem-
ber Election.

A democratic club was formed
at a meeting last Saturday night,
held in the probate court room in
the court house. Lewis Williams
formerly collector Of internal rev
enue, under the Wilson administra-
tion, made the principal address OF
the evening. He was introduced by
w. w. Fountain, chairman Of the
democratic central committee.
Mr.. Williams announced at the
beginning of his address that he
would devote his address to state
taxes ond would show that state
taxes had increased from 900 to
400 per cent. BY way OF making
the comparison CLOSE to home" he
read from a tabulation of taxes in
the various counties and stated
that Elmore county had sent to
Boise in 1921 just slightly less than
three times the amount required to
pay the state taxes in 1917 ut
will be my purpose to convince this
audience" said Mr.. Williams" that
it is not the county commissioners
and the school and village au-
thorities that are to blame for the
exorbitant taxes we are now forced
to pay. But on the contrary our
troubles are to be placed at the
door of our state government, which
has increased the number Of en-
ployes until at present one person
out of every 10 men, women and
children is tax eater.
THE state cabinet form of gov
ernment in all its beauty and mag
nificence must be removed, togeth-
er with the useless state constabu-
larry; we must return to the simple
and inexpensive, yet efficient form
of government given us by the fa-
theirs of our state and its constitu-
tion.
''The very fact that we have
saddled upon us the cabinet form
of government without our consent
or without its being an issue in the
campaign is sufficient reason for its
removal But when we take into
consideration that it is violation of
our state constitution, both in let
ter and spirit to have forced upon
us this useless, unwieldly form of
government, every citizen without
regard to politics viii raise up in
the f/nity of his or her citizen
ship and demand that it be abo-
pisbed,"
Besides the enormous taxes col
lected directly, Mr.. Williams charged
that an endless number OF indirect
taxes had been heaped upon us by
the present administration and cal
led attention to the following as an
illustration: He said the tobacco
law was intended to prevent chill
.dren from smoking, but had failed
ntterly to do so, but instead had
collected from the people $4,000
for license fees. A great many
more have taken the license this
year than last, he maintained, con-
sequently the tax in 1922 will
amount TO $115,000 or more, and
said that the only way to make
clean people was not to legislate
their normals, but to teach them in
the homes the schools and the
churches that smoking, chewing and
drinking were wrong.
The fish and game department of
the state came In for some very un-
complimentary remarks by the
