BUSINESS BOOMS
AT POST OFFICE
CHRISTMAS RUSH BRINGS IN VOL
UMES OF MAIL-BOX
RENT CHEAPER

| THE Christmas rush is on with a
| bang" said Postmaster Homer e.
| Estes today. There is no evidence
of hard times or financial embarras-
ments if the volume of business go
ing through the post office is an
indicator. Post office receipts this
month, and for several months past,
are far in excess of any other record
in connection with the Moscow post
office"
A parcel post window has been
opened at the south end of the lobby
and with well organized force in
charge, the business is being taken
care of promptly.
Mr. Estes called attention to the
fact that the inside mailing slots
nave been changed and labels have
been printed for .'Out-Going' and
s4Local Letters. If patrons will fol-
low these directions in mailing all
letters, quicker dispatch and better
service will result, as the outgoing
mail will be sorted and cased to
conform to train schedules, and the
local mail will be sorted and cased
to conform to the city carrier sched-
ules.
The south entrance door to the post
office has been closed by department
order and will remain closed during
the severe and stormy weather of the
winter. The west door to the bull
ding is the main entrance and is to be |
used as such. The south entrance |
was never provided with a storm |
door and when this entrance is open
the building is subjected to drafts |
and colds and makes the building
hard to heat. Employees, when the
south entrance is open, are also sub
jected to drafts and colds.
Box Rent Reduced
Rents for post office boxes will be
cheaper hereafter, beginning with the
next quarter on January /, accord
ing to a department order Just re
ceived by Postmaster Estes. The re-
1uction brings the box rentals back
% a pre-war basis. The new sched-
lie will be: small box, so cents a
quarter; medium sized box rs cents a
Iuarter; large box, 81 quarter;
extra large box, S150 quarter
The 1918 War Savings certificates,
maturing January /, 1928, are now
,eing sent in through the post office
md the banks for payment If the
are sent in before Janu-
Try 1 they will be paid promptly on .
late of maturity through the branch
# the federal reserve bank at Spo-
-ane. Mr.. Estes thinks that this will
nut a great deal of money in circu-
alton and will ease up any imagin-
ry money Stringency, as most every {
amily or person seems to have from {
5 or $40 to $4O0 or $500 of the GER I
lficates to cash in or exchange for S
ther savings. C

PROF. II. C. DALE RETURNS FROM
SPEAKING TOUR WITH MOVE
ABLE SCHOOLS

''On the whole conditions in south
ern Idaho are looking good, was the
statement made today by Prof H. c.
Dale, head of the department of eco
nomics at the University of Idaho
who has recently returned from a
two weeks tour of southern Idaho
as a speaker Of the moveable schools
conducted for farmers by the uni
versity extension division At the
same time he met with and address,
ed various chambers of commerce
and kindred organizations. Profess
sor Dale also conferred with any
number of prospective university
students.
The movable school itinerary in
cluded Malad, Preston, Downey, Oak
ley, Burley and Glenns Ferry.
Conditions are particularly good
with the beet growers who are now
receiving $3.50 ton for sugar beets
but in reality the price is $6.75 at
present under the contract held by
the growers with the sugar compan-
les, dependent upon the market price
for sugar There is large crop Of
sugar beets and the present price is
proving good combination.
Seed Growers Prosper
Potato growers are hard hit but
the growers Of seed crops are in good
condition. A Ford agent in the sec
tion told me that he had sold more
Ford cars in November of 1922 than
he had in any other November since
he had been in the country. This
would indicate a good condition.
"A good many people have left the
country but the people who have gone
were discontented and malcontents
who harped upon poor business. AS
a result their departure was well
coined in a number of instances and
it has proven a good thing.
"As a whole the outlook is good. I
A plan for the extension Of long time
credit to handle the debts incurred |
during the peak of high prices and
high lands would be Of great help if /
put into effect. People, who are not
in debt and who have been able to
pay as they go, are in good shape.

BORAH URGES AID
FOR FARMERS NOW
IDAHO SENATOR SAYS SHIP SUB
SIDY CAN WAIT, BUT FARMERS
CAN NOT.

/ WashingtOn.-Sena BOrah (Rep.,
Idaho) today in the senate attacked
! the argument of proponents of the
! administration ship bill that gov
ernment aided merchant marine is
necessary as defense measure. Such
an argument, he said, was sublime
absurdity,'' in ga time when there
is no prospect of war being made on
us, but the only signs of conflict are
between governments and peoples bur-
dened with excessive taxation"
He added that it was certainly
inexpedient to enact the shipping bill
before there can come into power
congress chosen at an election in
which this legislation was an issue"
submit to my republican friends
that we have trif1ed with our seven
million majority about AS long as we
Should" said Senator Borah. 6 1t is
not for me to advise those in charge
of the republican organization, but it
is easy for any one to see that en-
actment of this bill between now and
the fourth of March will not settle
the question think it is safe to
predict that if this bill is passed by
this dying congress, the first ses-
sion of the new congress will not be
"a hours old before there will be a /
l.
Farmer Can't Wait"
Addressing himself particularly to |
the Norris motion, Senator Borah de-
clared that if the ship bill was kept |
before the congress until passed and
rural credits and railroad legislation /
sighted, the republican party will {
not have enough votes to count"
Ship subsidy can wait" he shouted,
9 the American farmer can not watt
In his speech on the ship bill, Sen
ator Ransdel1 opposed continuation
Of government operation and cited
he experiences of Canada and Aus
;ralia as proof that government op-
sration in the shipping industry is a
allure
Turning to what he described as
foreign opposition" to the bill, he
declared it "was interesting to note
hat all international interests,
whether of labor or commerce is ar
aged against this measure and
dded.
Is it surprising that foreign-born
samuel Gompers and Andrew Furu- .
eth are against this bill? Are the I
International unions entitled to speak +.
or American workingmen? The
borough American labor organiza- !
ions are really supporting this leg

The senator read a number of edi-
orials from newspapers of the British +
sles attacking the bill and declared

Senator Ransdell gave what he :
armed concrete instances of British 7

Schools, Methodist Episcopal church.
The men rarely earn more than ten
cents a day yet they give one-tenth
of that to the church. One man had
no money so he drove his oxen to
the church and gave that. Another
man sold his farm and gave the
money. Many women and girls put
all their silver hairpins and rings on
the collection plate.

BANKING LAWS
NEED ! REVISION,
JOHNSON. SAYS
Attorney-G General Urges Law
Ie Broadeped to Include Of
tenders Not Now Specified
LICENSE LAW CHANGE
Wants Department Divorced
From His Office-strikes
At the /. w. w.

Banking laws Of the state ought to
be strengthened by the next legis-
lature, Attorney General Sveinbjorn
Johnson declares in the biennial re-
port of his office made today. The
grand jury which investigated the
Scandinavian-American Bank failure
in Fargo and members of the At
torney- staff are agreed on
this, he said.
Among the revisions of banking
laws urged are: The crime of making
false entries upon the books of il
banking corporation should be more
specifically defined and broadencd;
false representations to, the banking
board should be more specifically
defined and such reports brought
within the law whether made by the
full board of directors or a sub
committee; the statute regulating the
loans Of banking corporations to
their own officers or employees ought
to be strengthened and heavy penal
ties imposed for violation; direct
ors should be required to furnish
bonds, and the law strengthened SO
as not to make it possible by pre-
tense and subterfuge to evade the
laws as to excess loans. 49,.
Recommending the law regarding
false reoprts to the banking board
be made to apply equally to sub
committee of the board Of directors,
Mr.. Johnson said:
ITO illustrate, it is the duty Of the
board of directors to examine the
loans and discounts Of the bank
from time to time., 1t is the practice
of banks to refer this to a sub-com-
mittee Of perhaps two directors who
report directly to the Banking Board
in those cases. 1t is doubtful if such
a report, though utterly and entire
ly false, as we found in the case of
the Scandinavian-American Bank,
constitutes false report within the
penal laws of the state when made
by a subcommittee tot he Banking
Board instead of being made by the
board of directors themselves"
Recommendation
Among other recommendations are:
That the Attorney-General should
be removed as member of various
boards, except the state pardon
board, $50 that he may devote his
time and his energy to the legal du-
ties Of his office and to the pre-
paration of legal opinions for the
numerous departments and boards
for which he is responsible"
That the legislature provide a
fund for employment of special coun-
sci versed in utility practice, to re-
present the railroad commission in
the growing number Of cases involv-
ing utility problems. t
That in the interest Of economy
heads of all state departments, dis
continue use of individual names, to

FRANCES POLICY.
(By the Associated PresS)

Paris, Sept. 28.-France's policy in
the Near East az laid down in the
note she sent to Kemal Pasha joint
ly with the other Allies has not been
modified by the overturn in Greece,
it was announced >after- a cabinet
meeting today. .....
The French government is greatly
concerned over the reported deter
mination of the new Greek govern
ment to defend TArace. Such de-
cision it is believed, would be GER
tain to react unfavorably on the
Kemalists and the despatch of Greek
forces to Eastern Thrace would al
ma;t certainly be followed by bel
ligerent move on the part of Turks
in Asia Minot and disturbances in
Constantinople. The situation, it is
thought, will have the effect of de-
laying Kemal's reply to the Allied
note several more days.
81, To See Kemal.
NJ. Franklin Boullon, the French
emissary to the Nationalists, is ex-
pected to see Kemal at Smyrna to-
day Nor tomorrow. He will use the
entire influence II his government
to try and keep the Nationalists
leaders from taking any action with
regard to Thrace until the intentions
of the reek government are clearly
established.
After his interview with the
French diplomat Kemal, it is under
stood, will leave Immediately for An
CORA, where the Nationalists assem-"
bly will formally vote on the Allied
communications. The fear is eX-
pressed that if Greece meantime be-
CINE plans for the defense of Thrace
the assembly will refuse to accept
the Allied terms. There was said
today to be no intention Of modify
ing the Allied attitude toward Greece
in view of the abdication o Constan-
tine. The Allies will make the
strongest efforts to have the Greeks
retire from Eastern Thrace under
the terms communicated to Kemal.
Allied observers, however, admit that
a popular movement in Greece for
the defense of Thrace could not be

London, Sept. 28.-British govern
ment circles today took grave view
Of the situation in the Dardanelles,
which was regarded as so critical as
to overshadow the revolution de.
velopments in reece. The opinion
was expressed that there is great
er prospect Of fighting between the
British and Turkish Nationalists
than at any previous times.
The cabinet was convened this
morning to consider message from
Brigadier General Sir Charles Har-
rington, commanding the Allied
forces in Constantinople, summarize
ing Mustapha Kemal Pasha's reply
to General Harrtngton's warning
against violation of the neutral zone
along the straits. The reply was
considered to be evasive and ambigu-
Gus.
Two views may be taken of Mus
tapha Kemal's intentions it is stated.
One is that under the cover of his
cavalry he may be bringing up artil-
lery and material, and doing all he
can to compel the British to fire the
first shot, The less serious view il
that he is truthful in his statement
that he does not know where the
neutral zone extends.
Tremendous Possibility.
It is pointed out that General
Harrington is ilaboring under tre-
mendous responsibility. He has been
told to do all possible to avoid war
but to use his own judgment rega-!"
ing the necessity Of fighting to main
tain the British edicts. 1t is under
stood he has the full backing of the
government, which will support any
action he takes.
In his reply Mustapha Kemal says
the Angora government does not rec
ognize any neutral zone. He COM
plainl; about the reek warships whicn
have been anchored near CONSTANT
nople and also about the action Of
the British troops in the region
around Chanak on tho Southern
shore of the straits. Allegations are
made that the British have destroyed
Turkish roads and homes.
Claims Right.
Mustapha Kemal also claims the
right to cross the so-called neutral
zone and to enter Eastern Thrace
where he claims the Greeks are kill
ing the Turkish inhabitants. He
concludes by saying he hopes to
avoid any conflict with the British.
