TO RUN OR NOT TO RUN
THAT is THE QUESTION.

The office holders and the office
seekers are throwing up the straws to
see which way the wind blows. This is
a good practice if it is given a fair
test. 1t is possible however that some
politicians are waiting for the right
kind of breeze to come along before
they toss their straw. The primaries
make it possible for most anybody to
receive the nomination. BY that is
meant that any good talker with time
and money TO spare may be able to
influence enough votes to obtain his
party nomination even though he or
she may be untitled for the office.
Some people are naturally good can
didates but poor servants of the peO-
pie. Others are poor candidates but
hold the demands of the public far
superior to their W personal desires.
Between the two the public, the voters,
have to choose.
If there r any weak spots in the
county administration they should be
strengthened. If the party in power
has not fulfilled its obligations to the
tax payers it should be replaced. Real
issues, not party grievances, should de-
termine the success or failure of either
individual office holders or parties. 1t
Will not be many weeks before an
nouncements will be forthcoming and
before candidates will be advertising
their records for future endorsement.

CASTING IN ON
ALFALFA.

The Power County Grimm Growers
Association will mean a good many
dollars to Power County producers
who turn to the seed crop as a means
of beating the high freight rates and
making good land yield a higher di-
vidend.
There will probably be a strong de-
mand for Grimm alfalfa seed for
many years to ONE The going price
now is said to be forty five cents a
pound which permits a handsome pro-
fit to be realized from a fairly good
crop of seed. The organization will
permit of the certification of the pro-
duct which adds several cents a pound
to its value.
No better policy in agriculture can
h. promoted than one which turns 'he
farmer toward seed production and
diversification. The freight rates will
lot double the price of tie product be-
ore it reaches the hands of the 1ss-,
neither will they eat up all the profit
that should go 10 the producer.

vested, in these tax exempt bonds as
to deprive business of the mean
necessary for revival and the coun-
try from as prompt return to genuine
prosperity as would be noted under
other circumstances.
It is, of course, fruitless to repine.
What has gone over the wheel will not
furnish power Z o the old mill again.
Nevertheless, there is a distinct value
in contemplation OF experience, and
while many of these improvements
have been most desirable, though
some might have been deferred, the
lesson pointed out to us by Judge
stract Nominations on the tax pro-
blem.
For the time being the public will
not consider Improvement bonds as
they have in the past, Notwithstanding
the market therefor. But they will
draw a distinction between these
bonds, sometimes called luxury"
bonds, and investment bonds-bonds
that mean new and necessary capital
for construction demanded in the in
terest of pressing Developments.
Such is the case with the great
American Falls reservoir project, for
example, which can only be construct
ed through cooperation with the gov
eminent on the part of farming need
ing a supplemental water supply to.
avoid costly shortages.
Bonds for such necessary develop
ment stands In a far different cate
CORY than the others. They release
frozen credits that could not be utf-
LIKED in any other way and they pay
for themselves. When one considers
the fact that an extra bushel of wheat
per arce a year would care for prfn-
cipal and interest, the correctness of
that statement is made manifest
These American Falls bonds, too, en-
joy the same status as to being free
from taxation and are, therefore, in
demand on favorable terms. Whether
one believes in tax free bonds or not,
so long as the exemption stands, which
will not be long, it is certainly wise,
in case of these investment bonds,
like the American Falls, to take the
fullest advantage of the opportunity.

THE CHURCH CHEAT.

Church support is an obligation.
Church attendance is a duty. Wor-
ship is absolutely essential. And ev-
cry honest man and woman dis
charges these duties and obligations
every week. Contributions of time,
talent, thought, and interest are de-
manded. 1t is an honor to give. It
is an honor, privilege, and duty to
give. We are Gods stewards. All
we have has been entrusted to us. It
is III duty to support the church.
The Christian church has created and
added fifty cents of every dollars
worth of property in America.
Every time one goes to church he
should make an honest, conscientious
contribution to the great work of the
church. When the collection plate
reaches one his honor, sincerity, inte-
gritty, and character are Immediately
tested and when he, because he inn
AGNES nc eye sees him, puts upon the
plate pennies when he ought to put
pounds brands himself before God and
the Bar of God as a thief. He is per-
fectly willing to pay any extravagant
sum to go to a filthy theatre, ques-
tionable show, or suggestive screen
production, and then go into the

CAPPER TEARS OFF
THE MASK.

Senator Capper is making a gallant
fight for the farmers in connection
with tariff legislation, tearing off the
mask of the American valuation plan,
which he describes as a cloak to hide
the enormous tariff imposed in the in
terest of certain manufacturers. These
manufacturers, Mr.. Capper explains,
want still higher duties and the only
way they expect to get them is to have
them appear in the guise of higher vail
ues.
Thus in one fell swoop, the Kansas
Senator has punctured the spurious
patriotic cry for an "aIl American
tariff" The cheap appeal, he says,
must not influence the decision of the
lawmakers. There have been too
many blunders made as a result of
popular clamor aroused by some catch
phrase. American valuation by in
creasing the height of the tariff wall,
would limit the expectation of Ameri-
can agricultural porducts in exchange
for the manufactured goods bought In
foreign countries.
1t is the old battle-the manufactur-
er against the farmer-the battle that
has been won by the manufacturer for
years, because the farmers were unor-
ganized. Conditions, however, seem
to be changing. Senator Capper APP
pears as a new Richmond in the field
and unless all signs fail, he will win a
victory for the men who produce the
wealth of the nation. If American val
uation is TO he used as a method OF
c~oncealing increases in protective tar
iff rates, then it is clearly inimical to
the farmer and should have no place
in our government system.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1922-06-01

the railroad magnates fatty declined
the proposals of President Harding,
and on the heels of the decision,
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
order, lowering freight rates an
age of ten per cent. The roads may
now test the order in the courts, and
so another long wrangle will begin.
The reductions ordered will not affect
farm products, and passenger tariffs
remain as they are, so old High Cost
of Living wins again.
The great wall of poverty from the
railroad men, backed by figures to
show that lower freight rates will be
ruinous, was expected. 1t Is always
possible to make out a case of this
kind. The packers, with millions on
hand, plead poverty and fractional
profits so tiny that they actually turn
into losses at times. It is amazing
where they get their millions out of
their losses.
Railroad bookkeeping systems, are
intricate and possibly misleading. If
the railroads cannot stand a reduction
below their present rates, which spell
death to the farmer and high living
prices to the public, then they must be
very badly managed. We r prone
to boast of our railroad systems when
those of other nations are discussed,
but the truth is, the cost of travel in
this country is so outrageously high,
that it is a serious handicap to bust
ness. So far as the freight rates III
concerned, they are hardly open to
discussion. They are a milestone
around the neck Of the producer.
1t is true the stockholders ARE n
titled to a fair return on their invest
ment, but summed up, either railroad
management is incompetent, the valu-
alton of the roads is excessive, or the
roads are looting the public. The lat
ter does not seem to be the fact if.
figures are to be accepted ON their
face appearance. The chief trouble
seems to be that it is impossible to
reach a fair valuation of the railroad
systems because by the time the com
pilation is completed, the values have
changed. And SO the merry whirl goes
on. The railroads are riding with a
high hand again and unless they come
forward with some much clearer x
PLANTATION than they have to date, they
are riding for a fall, and most likely
will drop into the NAV of the govern
ment.

the town that fails to have a baseball
team. Certainly there are always
enough good players around to make
the game interesting. And there
should be enough support forthcom-

their own expenses. 31
Baseball is good advertising. 1t ia

itself c~reditably and it is to be hoped
that it will not be allowed to languish
and finally disband through lack of in
