DOLLAR DAYDREW
RECORD THRONCS
Distant Towns Sent Many Representa-
tives To American Falls Saturday.
Merchants Advocate Making Event
Annual Affair.

Dollar Day probably brought the
largest crowd to American Falls that
has been in the city in years. Nearly
every merchant expressed satisfaction
at the results obtained The day was
not record breaker as far as sale
of merchandise was concerned. In
fact some stores report decrease in
their normal business. Others say
their business was stimulated 200 and
300 per cent
The greatest satisfaction is felt
over the cooperation shown on the
part of the merchants and their ex-
pressed desire to make Dollar Day.
at least an annual occurrence.
The crowds began to arrive at 1880
A. M. The early bargain seekers were
not disappointed for many excellent
bargains were put out in the early
morning hours. The parade at 10
a. m. was all and more than was ex-
pected. The merchants loyalty sup
ported the parade and it amused and
entertained the large crowd every
minute of the time. The free show at
1890 a. nm. was a paradise for the
children who were accompanied by
several hundred grown-ups. Few
seats were vacant.
The afternoon was spent in touring
the stores and picking up the many
bargains offered. AS rule the pub
lie seemed well satisfied with the
numerous dollar day offerings The
free show and dance in the evening
were in every way successful. Both
places entertained the largest crowd
they have had in montha
People were attracted from many
miles by Dollar Day" at American
Falls. Many came from Holbrook,
upper Arbon Valley Hegler and 9TH
er distant points.

NOSE ALEXANDER
PAYS RESPECTS
Former Democratic Governor AdyO-
lates Return TO State Wide Pri-
mary. Abolition OF Cabinet Form
And COnstabulary.

Moses Alexander, former democratic
governor of Idaho attracted $50 peo-
pie to the Auditorium Theatre Tues
day evening where he spoke in oppo-
sitlon TO the present state republican
administration and advocated a return
TO democratic control. He was pre-
ceded by Attorney Tyler of Pocatello
who declared an open season on Bank
ers and the state highway department
all OF which, he said, had proved very
detrimental to the state and her
people.
Alexander provided real entertain
ment for those present with his timely
stories and quaint references to var
ious phases of state government. Il
am here on my own expense" he said
because there is no use of my try
ing to sell clothing at my stores in
Boise where we pay so high taxes
that we have to sell our clothing so
high that people will not buy them
But there is larger payroll in Boise
than in any other city in the state,
because the big capitol building is
filled with state employees whose pay
never stops. You farmers who earn
your living by the sweat of your brow
are doing we merchants a great favor
by sending all your money to Boise
to maintain this big payroll for us. -
In referring to Power County's re-
preventative at Boise, the speaker
said Il don't know what you people
think of your representatives at
Boise, but we don't think much OF
them. When the democratic ticket is
elected next fall want it to oust
every single republican out of the
state house, including clerks, steno-
graphers and commissioners of all
kinds"
The speaker advocated a return to
the direct state wide primary, aboli-
ton of the state constabulary, aboli-
tion of the cabinet form of govern
ment, enactment of a bank guaran-
tee law, and efficiency in the highway
department, A democratic caucus
for the selection of democratic slatt
in the primaries, was held immediate
lily following the meeting.

Who Gums the
Presso

Once every three months the Press
publishes a statement of ownership
setting forth the principal stockholders
in the Press Publishing Company, Ltd,
the Officers, etc. 1t is not always read
by the public because of the legal form
in which it is presented.
Many good people have i'll founded
ideas regarding a paper. 1t is often
presumed to be the tool of particular
party, or the weapon of an INSIDE
ring or the plaything of a banker,
lawyer, or wealthy business man.
There are instances in which the ac-
cusation may hold. Papers are often
purchased to yield influence for parti-
cular issues or for particular men or a
particular party.
Whenever a paper makes an attack
on a person or party or an issue,
the old alibi is that it is in the hands
of the ring" or some one is back of
a political plot. The Press at this time
wishes to make a clear statement of
ownership, management, and finance
upon which any future Indictment of
policy can be made regarding news,
editorial, business or politics. No one
in Power County need have any
doubts as to who is responsible or who
is to blame for anything that appears
in the news or editorial columns of
the American Falls Press.
The Press Publishing Company is
capitalized for $4,000 of which $4,000
is paid in. Sixty-five hundred dollars
worth of the stock is owned in person
by o. H Barber, now commissioner of
immigration, Labor and Statistics at
Boise Fifteen hundred dollars of the
stock is owned by K E1 Torrance, pre-
sent editor and manager.
Additional equities in the business
are owned as follows: E. P. Jones,
$400 through the consolidation be-
| tween the Press and the Rockland
Times. o. H. Barber $500 through the
same consolidation X. e. Torrance
$1,000 through the consolidation be-
tween the Press and the Power CouR-
ty News.
The Press Publishing Company has
no liabilities or assets in the way OF
notes, mortgages, or other securities.
| 1t has quick assets amounting to
| $500 and current bills payable
amounting to $3.50.
1t is not dependent upon any party
person or institution for success in
business news or editorial. 1t is re-
sponsible to no one except it's 1927

a year for the news of Power County
The present editor, alone, is re

Why Trade At
Hcnaeo

Why trade at home when goods can
be bought cheaper elsewhere you may
ask? In the first place, quality ser
vice, express, and satisfaction con-
sidered, it is very doubtful if goods
bought elsewhere are cheaper Be-
sides, remeber the following:
For every dollar that is sent out
of the county, someone has to pay
more taxes, because that dollar has
gone to do its work elsewhere. The
dollar spent with the local dealer pays
its share of the cost of local improve
ments. Support the town that sup
ports you.
Patronizing a mail order house is
like patronizing a grab box. You
don't know what you have bought until
you open the bag. Many times it will
not contain the bargain you thought
1t did When you buy at home you see
and feel what you buy before you pay
for it.
Haven't you received helpful advice
from your local merchant many times
regarding intended purchases. Can
you get the same helpful contact and
advice with the stranger that fills or
ders in the mail order house. Isn't
this worth something to you.
Patronize the local merchant first
Don't send away merely because you
think the local dealer does not carry
it. If anyone has to send away, let the
dealer send away for it. That is his
business and he'll be glad to serve
you.
In emergency, when you need medi-
cine, or a new suit, or a new hat, do
you send away for it? No you go to
your local drug store or merchant and
get what you want when you want It,
Stores cannot stay in business on the
things that they sell you in emergen-
cies. Show your appreciation of as
sistance in the emergencies by buy
ing from them all the time.
Do you figure in your money order
charges, your express, your stationery
and stamps when you send out Of
town for goods? Comparing your out
side purchase with similar quality
article your merchant could have sold
you and see if you really make a worth
while saving.
Your local dealer would not think
of demanding the full price before
showing you the goods, yet that is
what the Mail Order house does.
Which serves you most and best?
Your local dealer could sell you Just
as cheap goods as you can buy any
where, but if you saw the goods be-
fore you bought you would not pat
r0nize him. That Is why the local
merchant carries good merchandise
He has a reputation to maintain.
You get what you want when you
want 1t at your local dealers store He
doesn't send you something else or ask
you to wait two weeks until he can
get it to you. If he did you would not
patronize him. Yet, mail order houses
are patronized.
Stay in your own clover fields. Many
buyers are attracted to what they
think are better buying opportunities
by the alurements offered by outside
merchants. Very often they find that
the pasture was bit greenep at home,
but they were to close to it to realize
the truth. Give the home town mer-
chant half chance and he will be OF
more genuine service to you than any
number of strangers.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
HEARDON STREETS
Republicans Jockey For Position As
Day OF Race Nears-DemOcrat
Trying To Find Enough Candidates
To Fill Ticket.

The county will be richer by some
5000 by Saturday evening July first,
If each of the three parties alledged
to be in the political field, file COM
plete tickets. The republicans have
filed candidates for assessor, sheriff,
senator, prosecuting attorney. probate
judge and justice of the peace Meth
er the democrats nor the progressives
have filed They are waiting until
the last day.
Only during the last few DAYS has
politics become a real live issue, and
then only among the candidates and
men responsible for party success.
The public, as usual, seems wholly
Indifferent to what is transpiring.
The republicans have made several
attempt to obtain a representative
gathering of republicans from over
the county.
The democrats have brought two
outside speakers to American Falls
but have rallied the support of only
few democrats. The Progressives
have filed M. E. Walker and Frank
Boldt as officers of the county central
committee of that party and further
activities on their part have not
become generally known.
Practically all of the present office
holders will file again with possibly
one or two exceptions. The Repub-
licans regard their present lineup
strong enough with possibly two or
three changes. The democrats ac-
cording to their chairman will have
nothing but we'll qualified and truly
TRnFnCRnfpfiUn M m fhaf faly OF
The progressives are listed thus far
as the die hards among the former
non-partizans and are in a large de-
gree an unknown quantity.
The democrats have approached two
or three republicans as prospective
candidates for their ticket and the
republicans have not turned a deaf
ear Whether or not they will file
nomination papers will not be deter
mined until Saturday evening at 5
O'Clock, Their fight will be strongest
on candidates for assessor and audit
or according to their present dope.
Myers and Loofbourrow will prob
ably be in the race for the republican
nomination for county attorney with
a possibility that Cotant the present
incumbent will file the last day.
Myers was endorsed at the recent
republican caucus for state repre-
sentative. He doesn't feel like going
to Boise at the present time how
ever and has announced his inten-
tons of making the prosecuting at
torney race.
Andrew May, president of the
county farm bureau and t. G. Sparks
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1922-06-29

are both mentioned for the county
representative in the Republican pri-
maries. May was in Boise last year
and feels that he can help his party
more this year than he did last Sew
eral leading republicans are only
luke warm toward his candidacy while
Sparks seems to have many enthusi-
astic supporters. Sparks was urged
for the slate at the Republican eau
Gus but at that time stated that he
could not run. The refusal of Myers
however puts different complexion
on the deal, and it is believed that
Mr. Sparks will be a candidate with
Senator Fisher on the republican
ticket. Both meI, are independent
thinkers and are unusually we'll in
formed in state politics and political
economy.
Crowley, Hanson, Judge Jones, Nc
Cullough and Travis have filed. French
expects to file Friday or Saturday, as
does Mrs. Hauschildt. Commissioner
Earring has expressed his reluctance
at entering the primaries several
times but his many personal and poll
teal friends have thus far refused
to listen to him. r. W. Peterson of
Rockland and e. G. England of Paul
inc, both present incumbents, will no
doubt file unless other preference is
given expression before Saturday.
That the democrats would have a
complete ticket in the primaries was
the opinion of O. w Pollard, demo-
cratic chairman yesterday 1t will be
the best ticket we have ever had he
said
