Economy No Argument

A MONG other things, the public
seems to be insistant that the
state constabulary must go. The pub.
lie regards it as simply another poll
tical appendage to the political ma
chinery of the party--any party-in
power But the public perhaps has
not considered that this department
has at least one decided point to fav-
or it. Perhaps its authority does
overlap the jurisdiction of county Of
fcers, perhaps the constabularly is
not a benefit to the state from the
peace maintaining standpoint But
the department does not pay its way
and it does pay considerable sums in
to the treasury over and above its
operating expenses. Hence the mat
ter of economy in state government
cannot enter the argument A money
making department is rather a novel
and desirable thing.

Borah's Hand.

LII that Republicans who wish tc
again give Idaho direct primar,
can hope ito accomplish is dissension
in the Idaho Republican organization
Today there is no demand for the re-
enactment of the direct primary in
Idaho among the mass of voters. Mr..
Gipson at Pocatello at the Republican
convention two years ago this sum-
mer, should have learned that. He
saw motion favoring the primary
approved by few whispered "ayes"
and downed with a breath taking
whoop when negative votes were ask
ed
Despite Senator Borah, that should
have settled it. But evidently Borah
wants primary. Thus Cavanaugh
and few more of the senior senator's
henchmen go after it.
The primary age is past. Taxpayers
will think long before they vote upon
themselves the additional cost of hold
ing primary elections in this day when
state government must be Debated in
accordance with economic readjust-
ment Primary laws were drafted to
cure fancied evils. They only served
to aggravate them, to insure more
completely the election of the man of
wealth, to fill public office with I'M
deserving and incompetent servants.
Like the referendum and the recall,
primary laws have only backhre.
Splendid reform theories, they failed
to operate as it was believed they
would.
Senator Borah is not elected by
Republican votes. His strength lies
with the mass of so-called "independ-
ent'' voters. And the present system
jeorpardizes Borah's position in the
senate. Borah cares nothing for the
Republican party. He thinks even
less of Idaho All Borah wants is
position in the sun. He will get it
even If it is necessary to sacrifice party
harmony in Idaho to do it.
The Tribune doubts if Borah can
stimulate interest in Idaho in an oh
solete idea that otherwise will never
enter the campaign this fall as ar is
sue Even reform grabbing CANYON
county, we surmise, doesn't want the
primary.

state government at alp" And &C
cording to investing in gilt-edged Sc
curities that have been especially ex-
emted from taxation in order to make
them desirable for people who have
surplus money that they want to put
to work with the least possible physi-
cal and mental exertion.
In order to carry on the railroads,
public utilities and telephone and tele-
graph business of the country it is
necessary to raise nearly $20O0,000,-
900 of new money year. Mr. Gads-
den points out that with rate of re-
turn limited on public utilities to 8
per cent in the majority of instances,
and with municipal bonds yielding
ass per cent, an investor subject to a
surtax of over 10 per cent cannot af-
ford to buy public utility securities.
He concludes that this means that all
new capital obtained by public utili-
ties from private investors under
these conditions must come from in
dividuals having a taxable income of
$4,000 or less per year. Such re-
striction makes it quite impossible for
the public utilities to interest the heavy
investors-hence the troubles that we
hear so much about whenever these
semi-public institutions and industries
are discussed.

Plugging Up Holes In
The Constitution.

liz SOIlSlllullOll
Nineteen times since the framing
and adopting of the constitution of
the United States the people have
been called upon to make amendments
to the original and basic document.
New holes show up constantly, and
they have to be plugged. A few
weeks ago President Harding advo-
Gated in his message, the twentieth
amendment to the constitution in or
der to check the increasing volume in
tax-exempt securities. There isn't the
same thrill about tax matters as was
found in other previous reasons for
changing the constitution, when
check was placed on the drinking of
booze, and when suffrage was granted
to women; or even when the. election
of United States senators was left to
the people to decide by direct vote
Nevertheless the new constitution
al amendment would remedy a perni-
cious and growing evil. Philip H.
Gadsden of Philadelphia one of the
country's clearest thinkers, argued
this proposed constitutional amend
ment at some length before the COM
mittee on ways and means of the
house of representatives. Suppose I
was in your State" he told the COM
mittee chairman of representatives,

Billions Of Tax-Exempt
Securities.

According to President Harding
nearly twenty billions of dollars in
tax-exempt securities are in existence
That means, clearly that this vast
sum of wealth is escaping taxation, and
that rich tax-dodgers are having things
made easy for them by system which
has grown and grown until it has be-
come a menace. 1t stands to reason
that if the very rich dodge twenty
billion dollars worth of taxes that the
rest of the people of the country are
paying it for them.
Congressman McFadden of Perusyl
vania, in commenting on the cofnS1
ton says that the time will come, unN
less the evil of issuing tax-exempt-
securities is checked, when half of
the people of the country will be pay
ing the entire burden of taxes of the
other class; that class best able to pay
will be relieved from the payment of
taxes"
Mr.. McFadden also points out the
seriousness of the situation when he
says that "the continuation of the
present tax exemption system will
ultimately lead to the complete tax
exemption of moneys and credits and
to the imposition of heavier taxes up
on farm and other lands"

The Home Printers
Competition.

The home paper is eternally preach
ing Trade at Home" sermons.
The home merchants feel keenly the
competition of the mail order houses
and would be the first to enter a loud
complaint if the home paper failed
to stand tor home trade. But did YOU
ever stop to think that the local print
shop is up against competition from
the outside job shops. that is more I'M
Just than the mail order house. The
job department of the country shop is
necessary to its existance. The civ
newspaper cannot compete with the
country paper on local news or local
advertising, but the city shop is al
ways alert to put crimp into tn.
country shop. The city job shop, as
rule manufactures big leather bound
blank books which are beyond the
capacity of the country shop to pro-
duce but which are used in every COM
munity. On these books it places a
price sufficiently high that it NAV
easily use such sales in a way to crip-
pie the home printer.
1t is very common custom to quote
prices on such printing as the local
printer can not do at figures so low
as to often be less than the cost of
stock. This discredits the local
printer among his home folks and the
city job man easily adds the loss on
such work to the cost of the blank
book, which the local man can't make.

TIME TO sow SWEET CLOVER
Best Plan ls to Plant It in Winter or
Spring With Nurse Crop or Dur
ing Midsummer.

1t is not generally recommended
that sweet clover be sown in corn in
the fall A better way is to sow it
either in the winter or spring with a
nurse crop or during midsummer on a
firm seed bed free of other crops. By
having compact seed bed and giving
a heavy application Of seed, it Is
possible that a good stand can be
secured in standing corn but much
depends upon the weather. An added
advantage results from cutting the
corn off for silage, since this gives
the small plants more sunlight. There
is great risk, however, in sowing any
kind of seed in corn after the last cul'
tivation because of the usual dry
weather period that follows. Some
farmers make a success Of this sort of
seeding but ordinarily 1t is a better
policy to seed in another way II that IL
possible.

also make 1t possible to utilize crops
grown primarily in a rotation for re-
storing the fertility of worn-out lands.
The comparative value Of number
Of different silage crops for steer feed
ing was recently worked out by the
department in cooperation with the
Louisiana experiment station. In one
instance similar lots of cattle were
fed a ration of cottonseed meal and
blackstrap molasses in combination
with corn silage, corn and Biloxi soy
bean silage, sorghum silage, sorghum
and Biloxi soy-bean silage.
The best gain was made by the
steers fed the straight corn silage, but
1t was shown that the capacity of a
farm for fattening or wintering cattle
may be greatly increased by the use
of heavy-yielding silage crops such as
sorghum and japanese cane. Imma-
ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with corn
or sorghum were not so satisfactory,
but with late-maturing crops like Japa-
nese cane these soys gave very good
results. Sorghum silage and japanese
cane and Biloxi soy-bean silage are
practically equal in feeding value for
steers when supplemented by cotton
seed meal and mOlasses.

POST TREATMENT
is MONEY Saver
Experiments at Iowa College
With Water Gas Tar in Con-
junction With Creosote.
BY-PRODUCT OF GAS PLANTS
Creosoting viii Lengthen Life Of
Posts Of Any Kind Of Wood-Is
Especially Valuable With Cot
tonwood or Willow.

A new economy in the preservative
treatment of fence posts is in sight, If
experiments with the use of water gas
tar in conjunction with creOsote,
which are being conducted by forest
ers of the Iowa agricultural expert
ment station, justify the belief that
the tar can be utilized.
Water gas tar, by-product Of arti'
fetal gas plants, is much cheaper than
creosote. The purpose Of the expert
ments is to determine whether or not
the tar can be successfully used in a
mixture with the creosote and in what
proportions to give the best results
The economic value Of the preserva-
tive treatment Of posts has been dem
onstrated in many cases, says G. B..
Macdonald, head Of the forestry de-
partment at the college. Creosoting
will lengthen the life of posts Of any
kind of wood, but 1t is especially valu-
able with soft woods.
Tests have shown that such soft
woods as willow and cottonwood,
which last only three or four years If
untreated, will serve as posts for from
20 to Is years when treated. This
fact makes possible the utilization by
the farmer Of woods Of this kind on
che farm which would otherwise be
practically useless.
1t is practicable, Mr.. Macdonald
points out, for a farmer to set out a
small plantation Of quick-growing
trees, such as the cottonwood, and in
five or six years have the start of a
permanent supply Of posts. 1t Is esti-
mated that post per acre Is needed
every year. A considerable saving can
be made by the farmer who grows
and treats his own posts.
Two methods of creOsoting posts are
recommended by Mr.. Macdonald, one
In which one tank is used and another
which requires two tanks. In the first
method posts are put into the creosote
tank with the creosote at high tenn
perature, and are allowed to cool in
the same tank. When two tanks are
used the posts are transferred, after
their bath in the hot creosote, to the
other tank, which contains cold creo-
sote.
On medium-sized farms, where 100
or more posts are needed annually, a
satisfactory treating tank, made of
galvanized iron, about 36 inches in di-
ameter and AS inches high, can be pur
chased for about SO. t..

In the single tank treatment the

200 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
creosote is put into the tank to sub

One-h6f feet Of the posts. The tenn
perature is maintained at about 220
degrees for from two to six hours, de-
pending upon the kind Of wood being
treated. The harder the wood the
longer II should be immersed. The
Gre is allowed to die down and the
posts are left in the cold creosote for
from four to fourteen hours.
II two tanks are used the work can
be speeded up. since the cold bath is
applied in the second tank. The Gre
osote should penetrate the posts to a
depth Of from one-quarter to one inch.
Tests should be made to see that this
penetration is secured.
