Photographs Borealis.

A Norwegian scientist, NJ. Stormer,
was able to have photographed, at sew
eral points In his country, the aurora
borealis seen last May, which upset
telegraph lines and cables. and provid-
ed n gorgeous display In many parts of
the world. Comparing these photo
graphs at the same time, he has calcu-
lated the height at which this aurora
borealis was spread forth-namely,
3l2M miles. Thus. since the aurora
borealis is by proof an electrical illuml-
nation of the rarefied air gases. the
earth's atmosphere extends at least
that distance above the earth's surface.

The POLITICAL SITUATION
Committee

to an end and, being unsupported,
meaningless.
AS for the state candidates, they
have stood head and shoulders above
their opponents, uninjured by the
oppostion's barking at their heels
Not one has been convicted by the
opposition of an unpleasant record,
not one has turned out to be weak
and vacillating, not one has shown
himself unfit for his place. They
remain in the minds of the people
what they were at the beginning,
fair, conservative, constructively
minded men and women.
Such opposition as these people
will have on party principles is an
honorable opposition; a fair-minded
Democrat is to be honored. But
aside from legitimate partisan op-
position, there will be only the op-
position of unreasoning prejudice
and personal pique and the antagon-
ism of un-American influences
against them.
There have been times in the
history Of America and Idaho when
these Influences have grown power
full enough to overcome reason. This
though God forbid-may be one
of the times. But if legitimate
partisan difference and reasonable
ness are still most influential, there
can be no doubt of the result Of this
years state election in Idaho.

NC CANNON LOSES
TO BLACFK0OT
Blackfoot Substitutes
Get Splendid
Workout

Friday the Blackfoot high school
football team met the McCammon
team at the fair grounds for the last
scheduled game to be played in
Blackfoot and defeated them by a
score Of 18 to g. Altho the local
boys played fairly good game they
did not show the fighting spirit that
they did in the game with Idaho
Falls.
The game started with Mccain
mon defending the east goal and
choosing to receive the kick. Black
foot kicked to the twenty-five yard
line and the ball went into play at
the thirty-five yard line. The Nc
Cannon boys were soon held for
downs and Blackfoot then started a
march down the field and the ball
went over for touchdown in the
hands Of Captain Stewart. Mccain
mon chose to receive again and the
ball went into playsvon the thirty
yard line. Blackfoot' soon recovered
the ball again and went to the ten
yard line, where the ball was fum-
bled and recovered by Chaplin, who
carried it over the line for another
touchdown. In the second quarter
the ball changed hands twice and
ended on McCammon's thirty yard
line. At this point the signal was
called for an end run, Chaplin fum-
bled the ball, which rolled for about
five yards, being picked again by
Chaplin while running fast. The
Blackfoot interference got every
man and the ball was carried over
the goal line for a touchdown maxi
ing the score 18 to Q at the end of
the first half.
In the second half Blackfoot sub
stituted Drew for Chaplin, quarter
back; M. Hammond for Cone, left
halfback, and Powell for Cutler,
right guard. Blackfoot's team was
weakened considerable by the sub
stitutions and the McCammon boys
were allowed to make a twenty-five
yard end run in the third quarter for
touchdown, but the sacrifice was
repaid in experience gained by the
substitutes which is a big item in
making a team. Neither team
scored in the fourth quarter making
the score 1S to in favor of Black
foot.
The lineup for Blackfoot was
practically the same as with Idaho
Falls. Substitutions were Martin
for Bell, Drew for Chaplin, M. Ham
mond for Cone, Powell for Cutler
and Cutler for Powell.
Coach Plastino, Of the Tech,
refereed the game and DR.. MacFar-
land Of Blackfoot acted as umpire.
Blackfoot goes to st. Anthony to
play this Friday.

A remarkable state campaign has
reached it's last week. One pauses
to take stock of the situation.
And, pausing, one sees the Repub-
lican party, which took the center of
the stage soon after the Wallace con-
vention, still holding it.
This is partly because the possibil-
ity of return to program Of de-
structive economy galvanized Re-
publicans into activity.
It is partly because there has
never been more constructive
party platform
partly because Republicans
never saw better al round ticket
partly because the other parties
have tried to center public attention
upon the Republicans
partly because Senator Borah,
the Great Irreconcilable, tried in
vain to stampede the party organiza-
ton in the direction of repudiating
it's platform pledges.
1t is remarkable that in the glare
of all this publicity, in the face Of all
the attacks, Republican strength has
grown. At the beginning, Idahoans,
like the people of most any other
state, felt dissatisfied with anybod
who happened to be in power and
the Republicans were in power. The
opposition tried to capitalize the un-
rest and dissatisfaction.
But what has come Of it? No one
has pointed out single pledge of
the Republicans which is unwork-
able. No one has held UP any other
program that offered as much hope
of relief. Even Senator Borah, dis
gruntled because the rank and file
Of the party did not agree with him
upon method Of nominating candi-
dates, could make nothing but gem
eral statements against it. He pre-
sented no proof Of any weakness in
it. His condemnation was means

Congressman Smith I
Gets ! Broken Nose

N Last week whom Addison/T. Smith
was being taken from Soda Springs
to Bancroft, the car hit q high cul-
vert and tossed Mr.. Smith up against
a rafter Of the house on wheels and
broke his glasses and the bridge OF
his nose. s,-3t
He missed his engagement at the
next stop while getting his face
mended and bound together, and
after that he went on and met his
audiences as per schedule.
This accident happened down in
the enemy's country, that is, in the
home territory Of ex-mayor Whit.
aker Of Pocatello, who Is also seek
ing to 60 to congress. Mr.. Whitaker
Is the gentleman who declared that
when he arrives at Washington on
the fourth of next March he is going
to demand of congress an explarla-
tion Che pronounces 1t ex pla ma
shawn Of why that body has not
done more for reclamation (rec la
may shawn.) When he was a
candidate before, he did not carry
his own town nor his own precinct.
They had seen enough Of his man
agement and voted for the other
man.
To thoughtful men 1t is significant
that Addison +. Smith,. as chairman
Of the committee on irrigation and
arid lands and as one of the authors
of the Smith -McNary bill has OBJ
tanned SO much for reclamation,
Idaho would be counted insane or in
need of guardian If Smith were
now retired for bag of wind like

AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PEOPLE
Some Facts About the
Expenditure of
Your Taxes

To perpetuate and further their
peculneary interest a few powerful
brokerage and commission firms
dealing in farm products, aided and
abetted by considerable number OF
unscrupleous office seekers, are at
tempting to capitalize the farmers
distress and destory the agricultural
policy which has for the past four
years been in the course Of forma-
tiOn.
Concealing their real designs they
would have the people of Idaho be-
lieve that the state tax resulting
from a simplified and concentrated
form of government, is responsible
for our misfortunes. The fallacy of
their propaganda may be established
by an examination of your tax re-
ceipts. l have before me receipts
No. 1896 Washington county, cover
ing the 1921 tax on 200 acres OF
farm land situated in two school dis
tricts which shows as follows:

tional and state institu-
tiOnS --...--..-..--...-..-.--. 55.05
County and school ..:..--..-!.-. 1889
Total .... &C.. 1890
h, Please note that according to
these apostles Of discQntent the
estate House Machine" item ,of
$5.93 constitutes the burden under
which the farmer is staggering. AS
a matter Of fact the trouble with the
farmer, also the commercial inter-
est of Idaho, is tracable direct to
the door of outside buyers Of farm
products, who with the aid Of few
mountebank office seekers are now
endeavoring to destroy our right to
sci our crops +. o. b. as all other
commodities are sold, and force us
to consign them to these commercial
pirates who appropriate the pro-
ceeds and in thousands of cases they
do not return enough to pay the
freight charges.
The tax which is breaking the
farmers back lies in the loss which
he sustains by reason of an unfair
market, anu Iue TcluSdl VI tACoo
poachers to allow him decent pro-
fit on his own products. If Charles
G. Moore and Republican legisla-
ture is elected Idaho for period of
two more years at least, will be alb
solutely in the control of the agri-
cultural, and allied business interest
which are working shoulder to
shoulder to restore our state to its
former position in development and
prosperity.
The war clouds are now breaking
and the dawn Of a better day is ap-
parent. 1t would seem at this time
Highly indiscrete to allow ourselves
to be disuaded in our purpose to
force square deal, and lose all
that we have gained during the past
four years. More especially would
1 stress this position in view of the
fact that change is demanded pri-
marily by those actuated by the
spirit Of greed upon the one hand
and political preferment on the
other.

investment should be protected and
these roads preserved by the proper
maintenance, said maintenance to be
provided for by q gasoline tax. and
that the same be applied for the
maintenance and construction OF
state highways.
8. Whereas. in certain parts OF
our state auto trucks used for log
ging and other commercial purposes
necessitate heavy expenditures by
the county to keep the roads used
pasable, therefore we favor tax on
said trucks to be collected and ex-
pended in the said county or high
way district where such trucks op-
perate. @,
8. In certain counties of our
state there are Indian reservations
upon which the Indian is farming or
leasing these lands. He receives the
benefits Of the government that tax
payers receive, as we'll as the use OF
the roads. Therefore we believe
that he, having received these bene-
fits, should be compelled to bear his
share of the expenses, and especially
for the building and maintenance of
highways that enable him to get his
products to market.
We therefore would ask our next
legislature to memorabilia the con-
gress to carry out the above sug-
gestion.
County Commissioners Terms
10. We feel that the present plan
of county commissioners terms of
office expiring every two years, and
in many instances, entirely new
boards assuming charge of county
government without any previous
experience or training, is detri-
mental to the best interests of the
state.
We therefore favor the holding
over of two of the old commissioners
and the election of new one every
two years.
Reclamation 4s
IL. Be it further resolved that we
encourage reclamation Of both over
flow and arid lands to increase the
taxable wealth of the state. &
IL. We extend our hearty thanks
to the Pocatello Chamber of Com
merce and the commissioners of
Bannock county, who have done so
much to make our visit pleasant
one.
We also wish to thank Charles B.
Frazier, president of the Idaho
Tech and the faculty for the SPLEEN
did cafeteria luncheon and enter
tainment.
We further extend our thanks to
Col. D. F. Olson, director >of high
ways, for the splendid, instructive
address on the building and main
tenance of state highways; to John
D. Robertson for his able address
and practical suggestions on the
solution Of our tax problem; aso to
Judge William A. Hyde for his In
teresting. and instructive address on
the question of county charities.
We should also express our most
earnest appreciation to Miss Ethelyn
Glasser for her valuable assistance
and service in keeping our minutes
and her aid, in the preparation of
these resolutions.
Finally, we extend our hearty
thanks and appreciation to the sP.

and entertainment. s

CONVENTION OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE

We realize that the tax burdens In
Idaho are becoming unbearable ana
In many instances amount. to con-
fiscation, proving a serious check TO
the industry and development OF
our state,
/ Therefore we recommend the fol-
lowing suggestions, as tending to re-
duce the present burden:
/. The first consideration and one
never to be lost sight of is the
ability of the tax payer to pay the
bill, and under the present system
he Is the last to be considered.
Legislatures meet and legislate
for the wants and needs Of the state,
county boards Of commissioner
meet and levy for the needs Of the
county, then come the city boards
levying for their wants and needs,
schools boards doing the same, and
in many instances highway boards
Of commissioners making levies,
each levying for their wants and
needs without regard to what the
the other taxing bodies have done,
and when the sum total is added to-
gether it becomes unbearable. This
condition has been carried on in our
state until, at the present time, the
property tax has reached the break
ing point.
Therefore, we are in favor of the
creation of board that shall have
the powers of the present state
board of equalization, and shall also
supervise and control local taxing
boards in the matter Of tax levies
and expenditure of public moneys.
2. We believe that there are too
many exemptions of property from
taxation, and in our opinion some of
the present exemptions should be
wiped out, and we are unalterably
opposed to any further exemptions
being allowed.
We are opposed to widows and
orphans pensions or other perman
ent aid to the, INDECENT being al
lowed until the same has been
passed upon by the county commits
sioners and deemed worthy Of
county aid.
3. We are opposed to any further
levies at this time, either for state
or county, or school purposes.
We are opposed to anyone voting
for tax or bond issue who is not
tax payer.
Z 4. We are not opposed to the
teachers institute, but we. are OPP
posed to it being held after the
opening Of the school year..
5. Our experience as county COM
missioners shows us that a large
part of our county expense is caused
by needless and uncalled for litiga-
tion. and court procedure. We find
that even with the two additional
supreme judges they have been
unable to make much headway in
reducing their calendar, due to the
fact that in the past two years there
has been a great increase in cases,
going up to the supreme court.
We. feel that bootlegging cases
and cases OF minor Importance,
where the amount involved is Oft
times less than 800 should not go
beyond the district court. We
further believe that the tax payer
should not be punished by litigants
who take, cases into our courts In
volving small amounts, and then de-
mand jury trial at the tax payers
expense. f. ,ssss -sa-c
6. We are opposed to any legisla-
tion that will remove the present tax
on personal property, where the
same is a lien on real estate. #% II
