EFFORTS AT DEFEATING POPU-

HALEY, Aug. 24.-Ever since it
became known that former Governor
Moses Alexander had consented TO
lead in the mighty task of driving out
the tax-eaters, little and big, all down
the line in the state of Idaho, the eff
forts of republicans of the spoils class
and all their assistants in other par
ties who are bound together in the
cause of the same voracious division
of citizens had been bent to accom-
plish his defeat for the democratic
nomination. Fortunately these com-
bined efforts met signal failure here
at the Haley convention, for AleXaf-

no other candidate even named on the

ONE OF WORST is
THIS CLOUDBURST

One of the worst of all the many
summer rains came down with the
copiousness of a cfoudburst last Sat
urday afternoon up the Salmon river
between the Schultz and Hellman
ranches. Great quantities of ploughed
ground were washed from the fields
and gullies into the river or across
the highway, which was rendered ip,-
passable until the accumu'ated mass
could be removed or leveled OF Tor The
pa. sage of vehicles, which was a rush
job for the forces of Bob Snyder, and
fifty cars passed that way on Sunday.
Mrs. Iona d. Schultz, on whose
ranch the worst damage was wrought
by the downpour with its rushing
floods, says the ominous cloud appear
ed shortly after the noon hour, per-
haps about 2 o'clock, when the rain
set in for an hour or longer. Prac-
tically one entire field set to alfalfa
was ruined by deposits of sand and
gravel and gullies cut through it.

ters were either torn away or covered
up. Portions of the outbuildings be-
longing to the ranch were damaged
or undermined. Mrs. Schultz is un-
able to estimate the loss sustained.
The breaking of the cloud was pre-
cedei by warm calm but the storm
broke with fury and lightning and
thunder claps in the midst of the rain.
The river ran as muddy as the
Missouri in the course of an hour OF
two and remained muddy all day Sun
day at Salmon.
The visitation was the most severe
of the kind that has occurred along
the Salmon river in many years
though cloudbursts are frequent in
mountain canyons.

Bear Disputes Right of Way.

Assistant District Forester Simpson
Of the Ogden headquarters has been
making the rounds of the Salmon for
ests for the past three weeks with Su-
pervisor Scribner. One day last week
they were over at the head of Clear
creek where they came upon a mother
bear with her family out for an airing
and stroll in the cleaning of a
thick forest where the visitors were
laying out the course of a new trail.
Mr.. Scribner was leading pack
train at the time, and the mother fol-
lowed to find out what it all meant.
AS for himself Mr.. Scribner deemed it
wise to set up no argument about
rights Of way or anything else just

FLOODS OF RAINS
FROM CLOUDBURSTS

Unprecedented summer rains have
wrought havoc with the hay crops in
Lemhi county. An even inch fell in
the month of July and approximately
an inch and half so far in August.
That is the record Of precipitation at
the Salmon forest office. Elsewhere
in the county, where the floods came
down from coudbursts, there is MOI
record, of course. In these localities
the rainfall was perhaps four of five
times rs great as at Salmon, which
is taken as about the average through
out all this region where there werel
no foods.
The wet season set in with an in-
yerted moon along about the time ofl
the first hay cutting season. Raneh-|
ers were fortunate who saved that1
crop without getting it soaked in thel
shock or beaten into the ground afters
having been cut. Roy Moore, who has

PRESIDENT sCHMITTs APPEAL


Elsewhere in this weeks issue of
the Press will be found an article
over the signature of President of
Trades Council, Peter Schmitt, which
it is to be hoped will be read by every
union man and woman in the city.
Have you read it? If not, turn to it
at once and read it carefully, read it
over the second time. The article
contains much food for thought: it is
full of meat. In it President Schmitt
appeals for a closer cooperation,
closer getting together of the union
men and women of Hamilton and
urges that this be done through the
channels of the central body-the
COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council.
President Schmitt calls attention to
the utter lack of cooperation on the
part of certain local unions in that
they have no delegates elected to
Trades Council or that their elected
delegates fail to attend the councils
sessions, whereby the members of the
organization which these delegates
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-12-08

are supposed to represent are kept
in total ignorance of the activities of
the parent body.
President Schmitt also warns
against the delegate who attends a
session or two of Trades Council, sits
all during the session like a bump on
a log, never raising his voice for or
against any proposition submitted,
and then goes back to his local and
reports that Trades Council is run by
a certain clique" that there is no
chance for any one who isn't just
in right with the gang" for getting
anything through and gives this as
an excuse for not attending subse
auent sessions. President Schmitt
asks in cases of that kind that the
members of the local attend the meet
ings of Trades Council themselves
and witness the proceedings. The
meetings are all open to all union
men and women who may come in and
be seated as visitors. In this manner
the union members can get a line on
what their delegates are doing and
whether or not Trades Council is be-
ing run by Clique"
There isn't any doubt about it
whatever, President Schmitt's letter
"To All Affiliated Local Unions" is
one of the strongest and most urgent
appeals fora closer getting together
on the part of the workers of the city
that was ever issued by any local la
bor executive and is deserving of
much credit and commentator.
Straight from the shoulder-right to
the point Let us have more of this
kind of stuff, President Schmitt.
The Press would suggest that the
secretary of every local union take a
copy of the Press with him before the
next meeting and read it to the
members, discuss the article and de-
bate it's merits. There is much to be
found in it to reflect over and, giver
a little consideration, it will do fol
much good.

in government. He ought not to re
main as attorney general. Perhaps
he may secure congressional vindi-
cation from lame duck congress.
Perhaps not.
In any event, the American people
have the power to express their senti-
ments in ways that are more power
full than congressional decisions.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. New
berry is no longer in the senate.

TOO LATE FOR HERPICIDE'
The Kansas industrial court seems
doomed.
Jonathan M. Davis, governor-elect,
has announced definitely that there is
is "no need or place for it in Kan
sas" and that it will be his purpose
to have the court abolished.
1t is believed that if the governor
finds no other way of destroying the
court he will seek to do so by vetoing
all bills carrying appropriations for
the court.
In. a statement issued at Lawrence,
Kansas, outlining his purpose, the
governor-elect, who during the cam
paign was opposed by all the forces
that Governor Allen could muster.
made the following declaration:
"The Industrial court law has been
unfair and unjust and there is no need
or place for it in Kansas. There
have been only few cases before it
and none of them has been settled
satisfactorily
"The state needs officers who will
arrest the wealthy man as quickly as
the poor man, and then the public
will respect officers of the law and
laws will be obeyed.

AMERICANS NOT WANTED

Zone reason why the coal industry
of the country remains an unrelia-
able hand mouth affair is brought
home to New Workers. by the demand
of employment agencies for foreign
ers to work in the anthracite fields" :"
says the New York World. Continu-
ing the World says: Russians, Poles,
Lithuanians, Magyars and Scandi-
navians are listed as desirable. Even
Englishmen will do. But no Amer
leans need apply.
There is very simple reason why
the operators want foreigners in the
mines. A man from Poland or Lith-
uania has not acquired the American
standard of living and therefore can
get along contentedly on small wages.
But when he has joined a union or
learned his way about he begins to
ask for more, and at that point his
desirability as a miner begins to
wane. The operators look around for
other fresh and hopeful immigrants to
take his place"

THE OCCUPATIONAL TAX

Saturday, December 8, if we under
stand it correctly, is the last day Of
grace permitted for paying the occu-
pational tax. And if we understand it
further, there is to be a penalty at
tached for those who are liable for
taxation under the ordinance and who
failed or neglected to pay at the time
mentioned. Now we shall see what
we shall see. The Press is not an
advocate of additional taxes of any
kind but the Press does believe that
where one is asked to pay and given
to understand that he MUST pay and
does pay, all others subject to such
payment should be MADE to pay as
well. At the beginning of the year
the incoming mayor, Harry j. Koehler,
Jr., found that there was not suf-
| IlCleHI IulluS W oiiS oSisi\S
and safety departments as organized.
After comforting with citizens COM
mittees and individuals, it was de-
cided the only way to solve the prob
lem was by way of the occupational
tax adopted. Cincinnati was in the
same predicament and it had already
adopted the occupational tax plan
There the legality of the law was
questioned and carried into the
courts. All the courts sustained the
city authorities. So that the law will
have to stand for Hamilton. 1t is
now up to the local authorities to col
lect from the delinquents out of JUS
tice to those who willingly paid that
the city might have adequate fire and
police protection. This doesn't mean
that the Press favors taxing or goug
ing the public, but the Press firmly
believes that all should pay or none
should pay.

DOES DAUGHERTY REGAL

DOES DAUGHERTY RECALL?
Harry M. Daugherty, early in the
presidential campaign, was quoted as
having said that along about 2 o'clock
one morning in a little smoke-flled
room few men would nominate War
rem G. Harding for the presidency.
Daugherty was right. Following
the election of Warren G. Harding
Mr.. Daugherty was made attorney
general. Most people were surprised
at the appointment, not because they
didn't think Mr.. Harding owed Mr..
Daugherty some kind of an appoint
ment, but because they were aghast
that the office of attorney general
should be given to anyone not pos
sessed of the highest qualifications.
Now Mr.. Daugherty faces impeach-
ment proceedings This is not nearly
so surprising as his appointment.
Mr.. Daugherty's conduct of the
office of attorney general appears to
have been conducted just as a man
of Mr.. Daugherty's type would be ex-
pected to conduct such an office, or
any office.
1t has been run like the office of
political boss, or ward politician.
Call me Harry" said Mr.. Daugh-
erty to labor men who, came to see
him on public business soon after his
appointment.
This effort ! at cheap familiarity
didn't last long, however. The Chi
cago injunction was a shot from the
other barrel The railroads were in

erty hadn't seen that coming when he
said, "call me Harry

A CHANGE IN DEsPoTs.

What 1t enforces is obedience to order, net to law. and its contempt for law Is exempiiied in every way''
 From all the reports we have of con ditiens in Russia under the government of men who promised freedom and hap piness in an earthly paradise for all, this would seem to be a fair summing up of what these promises have amount ed to but the words quoted were not written of the government of Lenine and Trotzky They were put upon pa- per in 1902 and were intended to be a true picture of the life of the Russian under the Czar Nicholas II.
 Russia had one tyrant then. She has a set of tyrants now. The people have passed from one oppression to another Despotism seems to be the natural out cropping of the soil and has been con- tinuous all these years, except for 2 few heeting months when the weak mar Kerensky attempted to guide the rev olution towards real liberty.
