HOW THE SUIT
DOLLAR IS DIVIDED.

Presumably the American Woolen
Company will not send a vote of
thanks to c. ]. Fawcett, director of
the wool marketing department of
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton for his disclosures regarding
the travels of the suit buyers dollarl
It appears that on suit of clothes
which retails at $40 the wool grow
ers share IS $1.98. Hence the wool
growers part of the suit buyers dol
lar is 40 cents. Also few other
fallacies are exploded as for example
the statement that domestic wool is
not suited to the manufacture Of the
better grades of mems wear. There
is no better wool in the world than
American wool. The injection of
cotton and shoddy into fabrics has
swelled the Golfers of manufacturers
who in addition have offered as an
excuse for inferiority the poor quail
ity Of domestic wool. AS the situa-
tion stands the wool growers get but
small share of the money and for
their product condemnation instead
of praise.

1t is worth while to note that the
past week or ten days has witness
Eed an appreciable increase in the
price of grain and live stock, thus
helping the farmers to pay off their
debts and unload some Of the sur
plus grain that has been held for
higher prices. A number of factor
les in the Eastern woolen and cotton
districts, have either opened or are
preparing to at an early date. The
stock and bond market has been
fairly active for the first time in a
year or more. Money is again fair
ly plentiful with tendency to low
er interest rates. Commercial fail
ures throughout the country have
decreased ten per cent, while bank
clearings on the whole show an in
crease of S2,OOO,00O. To the writ
er, the symptoms indicate the near
approach of better times to which
people of all shades of political and
religious conviction should say
Amen!

Of Agriculture, or the School Of Prac-
teal Agriculture, Of the University Of
Idaho. and will be worth $500, plus

of the date Of award, except where the
boy Is in regular attendance at some
school. In this case it may be used at
the next session of the University Of
Idaho following the time the boy fin

The action of the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company is due to the fact
that its president, Mr.. G. r. Gray,
formerly member of the governing
board of the Maryland Agricultural
College, was attracted by the work of
boys and girls clubs as factor in in
teresting the coming generation in
farming: and he believes that the COM
pany he heads should further this
work by Offering scholarships, thereby
in scientific agriculture.

PEOPLE NOT
POLITICAL HUCKSTERS

Representative Thomas S. Will
liams OF Illinois chose a poor form
Of attack wsen he assailed Will II.
Hays because the newly retired Post
master General did not go through
the Post Office department with a
political broom and sweep from Of
fee every man who could not exhibit
the party tag.
when the Democratic party came
into power in 1913" said Williams
every Republican postmaster and
CT isl was kicked out and a good
rat put in his place. The peo-
proved that. 1t was the nat
and proper thing to do
!. Williams assumes much when
/ speaks the voice of the American
y pie. The American people are
q ed of the spoils system. What
they want in the Post Office is eff
ciancy in the delivery of mail, not
es'i iency in the delivery of the vote.
The Williams conception of the Post
Office department-the largest busi-
ness in the wHrld-may lbe that of a
political hUo2ster but he needs a
pair o. linos1lar to visualize the
heart of tte Ameri an people.

years, and they plan to correct the
evil through legislation now pend
ing. In brief, they propose to es-
tablish the licensing system in vog-
ue generally during the war and un-
der which the Secretary of Agricul-
ture would be able to govern to a
large extent the practices and func-
tions of those who handle farm pro-
ducts.
The bills--there are two of them
would not only give to the Sec
retary Of Agriculture the authority
to Investigate the operations of
dealers, lout upon complaint of any
person the Secretary would make
report Of the transaction record or
business of any dealer or handler.
The Secretary might also provide
for Board of Arbitration for ad-
justments and disputes in which
any approved handler or dealer has
financial interest involving the
grade, quality, condition, value, de-
terioration, handling or distribution
Of farm products. The important
punt III tiC al OlII dlIOu UldH lc a
provision that the finding of such a
board would be prima facie evidence
in the courts.
Senator McNary is a practical
man. Perhaps no Senator has
more fundamental knowledge of the
difficulties of the farmer or a deep
err appreciation of the injustice un-
der which he has suffered at the
hands Of the middleman, and it is
hoped the legislation he has prepar-
ed will not be emasculated in COM
mittee by theorists and political
economists who left unchecked are
likely to sink the ship before it gets
under way. The outrageous ex-
ploitation of the farmer at the hands
of the middleman must come to an
end, and McNary will bring a good
deal of it to an end if given a free
hand.

UNCLE JOHNS POEM
THE LAVISH HAND.

The Lord admires a cheerful Civ
er-the one that never stops-that
don't aspire to own a flivver, but
gives an gives-until he drops. The
scripter, too, advises lendin' or a
mighty generous scale-she hints
that I should keep a-spendin' till
I'm minus all my kale. The Good
Book seq, the chronic jinx that lost
because he's always square. may
stack up like Wall Street snOozer
treasures golden over there. And
when you see a feller, one that ain't
got any coat-you want to be a
cheerful giver and let him have yer
nanny scat. You recollect the laws
of travel, with some poor but or
merry scamp-jest grab his arm, an
hit the gravel, tow him quick right
into camp. If you should find a
hungry brother, rattlin' in his star
vim hide, pass yer roll-you'u find
another, way off on the other side.
The cheerful giyer. eheenful loser,
or the cheerful lendin' gent. will
never face no grim accuser in the
heaven where he's went. The world
is full of admonitions, fer the cheer
full folks to do-but them that fol-
lers the conditions, I find out is
mighty few.

THE GENTLE ART
OF "SLICKERING."

Time and again Americas great
metropolis, New York, has laughed
at the Country rube'' who, visiting
the big town, has fallen in with the
city slicker and returned to his home
town with block of stock in the
Brooklyn Bridge, which has been
sold to him, or a brick of "gOld"
that has 'stood actual test in an as
say office" and is later found to have
been plugged. Now, however, the
laugh is on the city man himself
1t has remained for Irving T. Bush
guardian angel of struggling
business humanity and among the
most advanced of free publicity
seekers-to turn the trick on a
number of the most astute business
men in New York. The scheme it
appears has been pulled off in con-
nection with the Bush Terminal
Building that stands in the heart of
the worlds busiest business centre,
42nd Street and Broadway, 80 stor-
les high and almost piercing the
clouds. The result is the prepara-
tiOA VI q ldW Suil vi iO lllCdn pIO-
portion, but in the meantime the
philantrophic Mr.. BUSH sits, smiles
| and awaits a gold medal as the
champion slicker of America.
Big business men fiocked into the
Bush Terminal Building, paying for
office space as high as SIS or Sc a
square foot. The price was stagger-
ing, but to offset it Mr.. Bush dedi-
Gated two floors of the building for
/ the use of his tenants. He proyid-
ed wonderful restaurant on the
! ground floor, luxurious loungine
+ quarters for the Buyers Club, con-
sisting of the tenants and their busi-
ness visitors. Then there were rest
rooms, telephones, conference rooms
and all other surrounding of New
York luxury offered free to the rent
payers. The Bush Terminal was &
veritable business paradise and the
80 stories were soon filled. Now
comes the second reel. Havins
hooked the tenants up with long
leases at rents that would break the
avera"e business mann. Mr.. Busf
rolled up his philanthropic CLOAK
and put it away II camphor. With
out consulting the tenants, he clos.
ed the club, tore down the restaur.
ant, abolished the magnificent en-,
trance, and turned the space into
rentable quarters, from which it i.
expected to raf1e in another 100000
a year.
Visitors from out of town now
look i'm vain for the entrance to the
great Bush Terminal Building, bur
it is only about 8 feet wide ant
can't be found except by an explor
er. The only mark of Identification
is a little revolving barber pole sigr
on the building next door. The in
! Jury to the business of the tenant,
is said to run into the hundreds o.
thousands of dollars. Perhaps the
city man will now realize that Thu
country rulbe" is not the only fel
low who suffers from inability t.
match wits with the slicker
The Bingham County news., 1922-03-24

We had hoped that when the SEN
ate post office committee cut out the
appropriation for the transcontinen-
tai air mail it would stand pat. But
we regret to note that after Post
master General Hays had appeared
before them with a seductive appeal,
they reversed themselves and now
assert that the appropriation will be
reported in the post office bill. It
takes millions each year beside the
loss OF life to continue this expert
ment-and experiment it is, all
opinions to the contrary notwith-
standing. The post office depart
ment is threatened with the biggest
deficiency this year it has ever
known Public officials practically
admit it and are urging post masters
and employees to use the utmost
economy in expenditures. Salary
reductions are being applied wher
ever possible in order to make a
showing of economy, but the air
mail, virtually useless for 95 per
cent of the people of the country is
to be continued at an expense
mounting up in the millions. OF
course, a common ordinary citizen of
the cowboy west should not assume
to criticize the judgment of so re-
nOuned statesman as Bill Hays, but
with soldier bonus bill hanging
up in the air for want of funds and
a continuous skirmish under way all
the time for funds to continue the
ordinary business of the government
this saving at the spigot while the
funds flow out at the bung hole is
brand OF economy that the west
neither understands nor desires
Some statesmen are good deal like
grown up kids after all. In order
to be happy they must have some
thing to play with. The air mail is
q plaything, but a hi-glty expensive,
useless and dangerous thing for lit
tie fellows to play with at our ex-
penSe.

WHAT SHIPS MEAN
TO FARMERS.

What ships mean to country AM
erica is demonstrated in the move
ment Of American grain into the in
Commissioner of Agriculture OF
South Dakota and member of the
purchasing committee for Russian
Relief of the American Relief Asso-
citation, reports that the first two
steamers that sailed from Baltimore,
Nd, carrying approximately 500,-
900 bushels of mixed corn have ar
rived at Novorossisk. Four hum
dred cars were assembled at the port
to rush the grain to the interior in
an effort to save the children from
starvation.
Since the first of the year thirty
steamers have left for Russia bear
ing relief corn-in round figures
100000 bushels, in addition to L.
464,750 bushels Of wheat. The ships
have cleared from New York, Balti-
more, New Orleans. Philadelphia,
and Boston. In days of old when
partisans were bold the suggestion
OF government aid for American
shipping was regarded in the light
of iniquitous graft, but the people
are coming to see that American
ships mean the expansion of Amer
lean trade and that a merchant ma
rine is Of real import to the farmer
who may never have seer a ship.
Criticism Is offered of the present
subsidy plan as outlined by Presi-
dent Harding and Chairman Lasker
OF the Shipping Board, in that 1t will
mean on the basis of allotment the
giant ocean passenger liners will re-
ceive great favor while slow freight
vessels will not be aided materially.
This Is something the farm bloc
may be relied on to Investigate.
Ships mean increased agricultural
activity and agricultural activity
means increased prosperity for all
the people. Undoubtedly there
would be still a greater driving
force behind the development OF an
American merchant marine had
Chairman Lasker carried out his
programme of education instead Of
conflning 1t to the glittering gener-
alities that have characterized his
talks at banquets to advertise men.
