IDAHO NEEDS OUTSIDE MONEY

The old saying that its outside
money that keeps up the camp" is al
most as true in Idaho as in the days
of old. the days of gold" We car

off each other all the time. There
must be new investment and cOntin

The American way is the growing,
not the stand-still way. Being sta
tionary in this country, and especial
ly in partially developed territory,
means slipping the clutch if not go
ing into reverse.
Recent gatherings in this state have
italicized the desirability and the
positive necessity of securing added
investments. which would mean more
population; and. in passing, it should
be recalled that added population does
spell lower taxation. the sage sayings
Of theorists to the contrary notwith-

population produces more wealth.
One man owns 100 acres assessed

NORTH IDAHO CHAMBER AND
ITS GOOD WORK.

The meeting OF the North Idah,
Chamber Of Commerce in this city
last week demonstrated more effect.
ually than ever before that the or.
ganization has reached stage al
which its value is recognized by the
business, agricultural and Industrial
interests of the state. When one hun
dred or more representative citizens
from every county in Idaho north OF
the Salmon river voluntarily leav,
their business for the purpose o,
meeting and devoting days to the
consideration OF problems affecting
the welfare Of the state, it shows con
clusively that they are in earnest and
that the work they are doing is of vi
tai interest to all the people of Idaho.
The Wallace meeting was pronounc-
ed the most successful in the history
of the organization and everything
indicates that the meeting in Lewis
ton this fall will be even more sue
cessful, both in point of numbers in
attendance and in the Importance Of
the work accomplished.
Although representing only the
northern counties Of the state, the
chamber of commerce is not section
al in its purposes. and while its eff
forts are necessarily directed to the
solution of problems peculiar to the
north, they are being carried out
with spirit of cooperation with the
people Of the southern part of the
state with the view to advancing the
interests of the state as "a whole and
perpetuating it as one of the great
commemorative of the nation. This
attitude was particularly reflected in
the resolutions adopted by the Wal
lace meeting, one of which warmly
approved the Smith McNary reclaim
Ne'"H Dill anu protested against OppO-
sition to the measure by Mr.. Monden
This bill is primarily for the reclaim
alton of arid lands and is Of the
greatest importance to the southern
part of the state. In order to make
the attitude of the chamber even
more clear, special message was
approved and ordered sent to every
body in southern Idaho
expressing a desire to cooperate with
the south in all measures designed |
to effect greater solidarity, unity /
and concord throughout the entire /
state"

THOMAS SAYS NO NORTH AND
SOUTH IDAHO.

When John Thomas, prominent
banker of Gooding and who is also
chairman Of the republican state
committee, arrived in Moscow the
other day on his way to attend the
meeting of the bankers at Hayden
lake, he was evidently impressed with
the great possibilities of benefits to
be derived by the state through the
completion of the north and south
highway. Accompanied by Mrs
Thomas he had driven over the road
and pronounced it in very good con-
dition, although not yet completed.
Speaking of his trip and impressions,
Mr. Thomas said through the Moscow
star Mirror:
1.-THE north and south highway
will be of the greatest Importance
TO this state. 1t will enable peo-
pie to travel back and forth and
intermingle thus learning to
know each other and familiariz-
ing themselves with the various
sections of the state There
should be no north and south
Idaho We should be one state
and boost for the whole state"
The completion of this highway
will provide direct means of com
munication between the northern and /
southern sections Of the state, and /
thus overcome the mountain barrier
which has been used as a basis of ar
gument by those who would segregate
the state 1t will not only more close
ly unite the people of Idaho, but it
will make accessible a section Of
scenic wonders which will be con-
slant joy to our own people. prove {

 Sheriff Ed Harper and deputies returned here late yesterday after another trip into the troubled area and reported that everything was quiet and that no further disturb apces were feared. They declared that the vigilance committee which started out to "clean up" the oil fields had apparently completed what they statred and seemed satisfied.
 The fields have been cleared of gamblers, high jackers'' and boot ileggers, along with undesirable wom- en- This was effected by warnings from the vigilance committee that all these must leave town.

LITTLE GIRL IS KILLED WHEN STRUCK BY CAR
Marie Brown, at Play, Meets Tragic Death-Home
 For Thanksgiving.

Memphis, Dec. All the happi- ness of a joyful reunion and Thanks giving dinner with her mother was blighted yesterday morning when little Marie Brown, aged eight years, was run over and killed by an auto mobile in front Of Sheehans drug store, Claybrook and Madison.
 The tragedy occurred at 10 a. m., less than an hour from the time the little girl alighted from the train that brought her from Lambert, Miss, where she was attending school. She was living there with her aunt, Mrs. J. c. Johnson.
 Her mother, Mrs. E. B. Brown. 127S Union avenue, was prostrated with grief She is widow and Marie was the only child
 Marie, together with three of her little friends, Edith and Jack Mitch ell and Margaret Green, went out about 9:45 yesterday morning to Igo on an errand for her mother at Sheehan's drug store. Some pieces of broken ice in the street attracted the children. Little Marie darted from the sidewalk out in the street, apparently to get a piece of the ice. None of the other children followed her. She had to run past an auto- mobile that had stalled near the curb.
 Just as she passed this car anoth- ere automobile, driven by l.. G. Aymard, struck the child, the right headlight striking Ger head and throwing her to the ground. The front wheel passed over the chid's body. MT. Aymard promptly put on tn emergency brake and brought the car to sudden stop. e. w. Pleasant, who was riding with MT. Aymard, jumped from the car, wrap ped his coat around the little girl and took her immediately to the Baptist hospital. She died almost immediately after reaching the hos pftal.

REPUBLICANS

Filibuster on Dyer Bill and Democrats Are Confi- dent of Ultimate
 Victory.
(By The United Press.)

Washington, Dec. 1.-Efforts to smash the filibuster over the Dyer anti-lynehing bill, which stopped all legislative action in the Senate since last Mon- day, proved fruitless today and the Democrats swept their day of battle confident of ultimate victory.
 Senator Harrison of Missis- sippi opened with new attack as soon as the session convened. He made a motion to amend the journal of Thursday and was launching into a lengthy address when Republican leaders asked adjournment of the Senate out of respect for the late Repre- sentative Mann of Illinois.
 The journals of last Tuesday and Wednesday have not been approved and there remains only enc legislative day-Saturday- of the special session.

VETS SEEING HOPE
 IN NEXT CONGRESS
Also Rejoice at Promised Rigid Enforcement-Ap-
 prove Harding Stand.


 Washington, Dec. 1.-Predicting wine and beer legislation by the next Congress, the Association against the Prohibition Amendment yesterday proclaimed it's unquali- fled endorsement of President Hard ing's announced determination to go the limit in enforcement of the Vol stead act.
 The organization, while upholdlng strict compliance with the law, so long as it is the law, takes the po- sition that the president had under taken the impossible, that the con sumption of beverages of more than one-half of one per cent alcoholic content cannot be suppressed and that the only alternative is the sub stitution for the Volstead act of a more liberal statute which can be enforced.
 The reported decision of the pres ident to recommend no alternative of prohibition legislation also was commended by the association.
 Although the presidents stand leaves the forces or the government committed to a losing struggle, a way out will be found through the initiative of Congress itself in amend- ing the Volstead act" says the or ganiZation in commenting upon MT, Harding's enforcement order.
 Purpose of Organization.
 The anti-prohibition organization, which took an active part in the recent congressional election, trying conclusions with the AntiSaloon League in many states, has set out to compass the repeal of the Eigh- teenth amendment eventually, and in the meantime to bring about the restoration of beer and light wines as beverages on-intoxicating in fact"
 President Harding's position is thoroughly logical, and in complete weeping with his recognition of the responsibility as well as the limita-
 
 tions of his high office," said Capt. w. H. Stayton, national executive head of the association.
 '"There should be no occasion for on our hearty and unquali- fled endorsement of his stand, for it represents most definitely the pre- else position our entire membership has taken; namely, respect for, and to ali the laws of the country, so log as they remain on the statute books.
 Tt is for Congress itself, acting in response to the will of the people, to effect the necessary changes in legislation that Will enable the presi- dent to maint tain his position and yet rescue him and the whole exec utiye machinery of the government from the intolerable condition in which they are now hopelessly en-

of an inch.
 During the past week there has been a revival of interest in the contest for the Speakership of the next House of Representatives. Friends of Howard Reed of Cleburne county, who has been returned for the third time, are claiming for him that he has almost enough votes to insure his election. These claims, however, are not conceded by the friends of Neill Bohlinger of Little Rock and w. L. Lee of Yell coun- ty, while Henry Stevens of Column bia, Ben Morris of Lonoke, l.. E. Harrelson of St. Francis and B. w. Clancy of Woodruff continue to be factors in the situation.
 Unless automobile owners through out the state present strenuous protest the automobile license fee will be materially increased by the 1923 General Assembly. Two bills are now being drawn, one by the State Highway Department, and the other by the Honorary Highway Commission Both bills will in- crease the license on trucks o1 more than three ton capacity several hundred per cent. On automobiles the proposed increase will be from fifty to about 150 per cent. Until the Honorary Highway Commission meets on December Il, little will be known about the bill to be pre- sented by it. It is known that this commission hopes to increase the automobile truck and gasoline tax so that it will yield about 900 annually, of which $1,5O05O0O will be annually applied for maintenance The commission expects to- assist ill the construction of highways and to apportiOn considerable sum to aid in the payment of bonds issued by existing road districts. This commission would also place automo- bile and gasoline receipts in the hands of the state instead of divid- ing with the counties. There are some irregularities in the present license schedule and automobile agencies are said to favor their cor rections, as well as the centralizing of the license fees.

 Little Rock, Dec. 1.-Reports be- ing compiled by the State Bank Commissioner indicate a most pros porous condition in Arkansas. The bank deposits of Little Rock az grcgate the stupendOus total of $42,759,S14, which exceeds the larg- est amount ever before recorded in the history of the Little Rock clearing house. A similar report comes from Pine Bluff where it's banks had on deposit a total ol $11, ,G77,888, breaking all records Newport also set new mark in de posits with total of $2,737,8 SIT These conditions are interpreted by economists to mean that Arkansas is rapidly paying it's debts and ac- cumulating a reserve after the orgy of spending which was engendereC
 by the war. Once more the state is getting upon sound financial basis which is being reflected in commer- cial, industrial and individual ac- counts.
 That Troy Lewis, Municipal Judge of Little Rock, has been doing eff fective service is proven by the fact that police officers report q great reduction in the number oi
 misdemcanors. It is also significant that during the first 30 days of his service on the bench, Judge Lewis turned into the city treasury more than enough money from fines tC pay his salary for the next two years

An official state explains, according to dispatch from Athens, that the defendants knowingly concealed from the people the danger involved in King Constantnes re- turn the throne, and that, although Greece was breaking away from her alliances, they did their ut consolidate Consantine's throne in order to enjoy office under him.
 Largely true, doubt. Yet they any more responsible than the Greek nation tse in whose name they killed?
