COUNTY HAS PURE BRED STOCK


A pominent business man called
our attention to the fact that in Bear
Lake county there are a lot of pure
bred cattle, and estimated the num-
Der of thoroughbred bulls at between
forty to fifty head. Cattlemen de-
string this class of stock do not need
to send away for blooded stock, be-
cause the local stock is acclimateo,
and are as good as any to be found
anywhere.
While there is room for more
thoroughbred stock in Bear Lake
county, at the same time when puro
bred stock is available right here at
home there is no need of sending
large sums east for stock that is not
any better, in the opinion of this
business man.
If Bear Lakeds will patronize each
other whenever the opportunity arts
es, conditions will improve. Money
spent at home remains to do much
valuable work but If sent away is lost
to the community for ever. Patron
ize home industry in every branch
and the benefits thus derived viii
revert to the benefit of all.

tween price OF farm and other pri-
mary products, on the enc hand, ans
price OF manufactures goods and
transportation service on the other,
is the chief reason for the business
depression, says the Pacific Manu-
facturer.

600 100000 less than in 1919 and
$1,000 100000 below 1920. The
quantity produced has peen about the

With the price decline for other
products and services not in proper
ton to this drop in farm prices, far
mers are forced to buy less and all in
dustries suffer in consequence.
Prosperity will return when the
present great desperity of compen-
sation between producers and distri.
butora is finally equalized.
Tho argument that stocks on

is no longer an excuse.
Merchants who are interested in

SHOULD MERCHANTS
PAY LICENlSE9

The question has often been dis
cussed whether a license ordinance
should bo adopted by the city or
Montpelier as protection to home
business institutions Many will ar
quo that we are taxed for enough
things now without adding a merch-
ants license one that will cover
every line of business. But If you
will stop to figure the license propo-
sition you will find that it would be
big thing for the city, and every
city OF any Importance collects an
annual license form business institu-
tions in order to force outsiders to
pay for selling goods in the city.
As 1t is now, anyone can ship fruit
vegetables. meat, etc, into Montpe-
lier and peddle the same either
wholesale or retail, without paying
one cent for license, while the local
institutions are taxed for the upkeep
of the city.
An ordinance should be passed pro-
viding minimum license tax for
local institutions and heavy license
for transients. The revenue from
such law would return, for instance
enough to care for street flushing
and maybe, yield enough over to pay
for the expensive flushing equipment
which the city must purchase sooner
OF later.
Such an ordinance, of course, could
be drafted to strike at the outsiders
who have no other interest in the city
than to sell their wares and carry
away the profits. It would be a pro
lection to the business men and citi
zens of Montpelier against invasion
by vendors of inferior goods. TIL,
proposition should at least be consid
cred thoroughly from every angle.

VALIANT
SERVICE

Too much praise cannot be extend
ed to the peace officers of Montpelier
for the clever and clean job they ac-
complished in the shooting of the
two bandits in a local cafe last Fri
day. The affair was absolutely one
of self defense. AS it PANIED out
it was either the lives of two peace
officers or those of two dangerous
criminals that were at stake, and
thanks for the thoughtfuIness and
thoroughness with which Officers
Hitler and Heggie went after the
suspected murderers of a man and
woman IN Wyoming earlier in the
week.
The nerve displayed by the Off
GERS will have a far-reaching effect
in making Montpelier non-stopping
point for the class of men they dealt
with. This is not the first incident
OF the kind in the history of the city.
Mr. Heggie has been face to face with
similar situations upon other occa>
sfons, and the vigilance of the Off
GERS has had much to do with keeping

$15,OOO,OOO For
Forest Highways
Caribou Forest Service Notes.

The secretary of agriculture has
recently approved the definite appor-
tionment of the 100000 appro-
priation for National Forest roads
and trails made by the act of Nov
ember 8, 1921. Tho appropriation
is separated in two parts, each for
a dintinct purpose. There is set
aside $9,5OO.0OO designated the For
est Highway fund, which must be
used on forest roads OF primary i'm
portance to the state, counties or
communities within, adjoining or ad-
jacent to the National Forests" The
balance of $5,50O,OOO, called the
Forest Development fund, is segre-
gated for roads primarily beneficial
in the utilization and development of
the forests themselves.
The act stipulates certain factors
to control the distribution between
states and after thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON and calculation by the for
est service during the past two
months as to the application of these
factors the following apportionment
has been worked out and approved
by the secretary:

is HENRY A
BILIIONAIRE?

In a recently published interview,
Henry Ford declared that he had
cash balances in banks of $125, 000,-
600 to $140, OOO,0O0; he did not
know within $15,O0O,00O how much
he had. He said that his balances
were worth 5000, 900 900, his inVen-
tories as much more, and he thought
the whole works could be capitalized
for a billion. The suggestion that
Ford is a Millionaire is not accepted
by some financial writer's, and many
think Rockefeller still is the richer
man. John ID. is not so much in
clined to tell the public what he has
but he has given away hundreds or
millions. Ford seems to have learn
ed the secret of remaining popular
with the proletariat while acquiring
great riches. Is he really our first
Millionaire?

IN TEN YEARS,
WHAT?

Daniel Webster said: THE power
to tax is the power to destroy"
Every American citizen should
commit this motto to memory and it
should be placed in plain lettering
above the entrance of every legisla-
tive hall, tax commissioners office,
county commissioners and every
other taxing body in the country.
Our present system of increasing
the number of boards and commits
sions that attempt to control and In
terfere with every line of human ac-
tivity is the ban of our modern sys-
tenn of government in this country.
It is contrary to the form of gov
eminent established by our FORE
fathers.
1t would be hard to show where
the present system has served any
purpose other than to load the coun-
try with staggering tax burdens.
This applies to federal as well as
state governments.
If government overhead continues
to increase at the present rate for
the next ten years, the cost of living
and the burden of taxation will be
unbearable. Manufacturer

OFFICERS
SALARIES

Are officers of the law paid in
to the risk they are TAX
ing daily in the performance of THEN
duty? This is a question that haa
received no little discussion since the
dastardly attempt made upon the
lives OF two police officers here lasN
week. 1t was not the fault of thu
two low-lived criminals who officers
Jack Hitler and Jack Heggie tried
to arrest peaceably in the cafe last
Friday, that the two officers were not
killed in cold blood. It was the
quick and thoughtful work Of the OF,
ficera that prevented tragedy. Il
was matter of getting them first or
die-and they got them.
The affair is simply an illustra-
ton OF what the peace officers might
have to face at any time, and usually
with greater odds against them than
in the affair last week. But the
question of whether the officers are
paid enough is one that deserves con
sideration. Officers are usually un.
derpaid everywhere, and 1t doesn't
seem right. An officer should be
paid according to the hazard he is
up against. AS it is officers salaries
are usually lower than wages pait
for common labor, and no considera
tion is given for the risks taken
Montpelier Is no exception to thu
rule, and while the officers here have
made no complaint to our knowledge
the fact remains that their servict
to the community is worth more thar
they are being paid.
