HOW TO REWARD THE BoYs?z

The editor of the st. Cloud Journal
Press states that he told Congress months
ago how oreward the boys and not bank
rupt the country while doing it, but that
congress paid no attention to- him. ID =. j.,
,, Now he takes rap at congress for pass
ing the bonus bill and tells why. e
president Harding used $500 words
in telling congress that he vetoed the bon
us bill because it had not provided any
means of meeting the 81 GOO, 000, 900 neces-
sary to pay the bonus, and that neither the
treasury nor the taxpayer could stand any
such burden at this time. He might have
used less words, but perhaps congress had
the zinfliction coming. He has repeatedly
stated that he would veto the bill unless
congress found way'to pay the service
men. The passing of the bill was largely
q political bluff. The members knew the
president would veto it., and they reasoned
they would have the credit of voting for.
it and thus proving their friendship to the
service men. The Jorunal- Press told Con-
gress months ago how to reward the boys
: and not bankrupt the country while doing
it, but with its usual stupidity it went off
on it's own trail to fall. The president,
in spite of the attempt of congress to make
him the goat, will receive more credit for
courage and sincerity than will congress
even from the service men, :: .-.r H.
y Never mind brother Eastman, sooner or
later some of these congressman will learn
to sit up and take notice when one of Min
nsota's best informed editors speaks. IF
Knutson wasn't such good congressman
the people would send Eastman down to
Washington, where congressman would be
compelled to listen. 49, r. ,.ss~-.~- = ~.

faithfully since the Inauguration of the lines here and
to further the public has asked and obtained
authority from the Public Utilities Commission to

If there is something wrong with street car service

KEEPING UP THE CAMP
(By Guy Flenner.)

The old saying that tits outside
money that keeps up the camp" is
almost as true today in Idaho as in
the days of old the days Of gold-' We
cannot eat our surplus. We cannot
eat of each other all the time. There
must be new investment and contir-
ued outlets and added population.
The American way Is the growing
not the stand still way. Being sta
tionary in this country, and especi-
ally in partially developed territory
means slippiny the clutch not yoing
into reverse
Recent gatherings in this state have
italicized the desirability and the pos
tive necessity OF securing added in
vestments. which would mean more
population;; and. in passinss it should
be recalled that added population does
spell lower taxation. the sage sayings
of theorists to the contrary notwitht-
standing, for the reason that added
population produces more wealth.
One man owns 100 acres, assessed
valuation $50 per acre. at per cent.
taxes equals $500. Put three more on
that tract, or 40 acres, for each OF the
four, and value il at 800 per acre or
$4,000 for each. at per cent taxes
equals 5000 for each. The 100 acres
tract is worth twice as much as to the
public as a matter of tax value, each
40 produces proportionately consider
ably more wealth. There are four
families to one fefore and each doing
bitter than one with the larger tract.
