BORAH Sees MOVE TO
CANCEL ALLIED DEBT


Washington-(A P)-The most
powerful financial influences in the
United States and abroad intend that
the eleven billion dollars owed the
United States by the allied and associ-
lated nations, shall never be paid, Sen
ator W. E. Borah, republican, Of Ida
no, declared today in the senate Sen
ator Borah said that he was satisfied
that if the debt commission were given
authority to extend the time of pay
ment, no interest would be paid for
five or ten years. The result would
be, he added, that the United States
would be making additional loans to
debtor nations, at additional cost in
taxes to the American people.
Preparatory to a final vote on the
allied debt refunding bill, the senate
today rejected, by vote of ia to 80,
the amendment offered by Senator
Johnson, republican, of California,

RAISE CASH TO
REMODEL CHURCH
CHRISTIAN CONGREGATION PLANS
MODERN E-ESPECIALLY
ADAPTED FOR S. S. WORK

Preparatory to carrying out plans
which have been under consideration
for some time by the congregation
and the pastor, Rev w. S. Crockett
for the extensive remodeling of the
First Christian church building at the
corner of Fifth and Jefferson streets,
pledges toward a building fund were
called for by Evangelist Floyd A.
Ross, following the morning service
Sunday, with the result that $4,000 was
pledged, while at the evening service
pledges amounting to $1,360 addition
al were secured. Some months ago a
building campaign was started and
bonds were sold These bonds, with
the pledges secured yesterday, total
approximately $4,000.
Plans for a modern building, with
the old building as a nucleus, will be
drawn at once, and it is expected that
the building will be done during the
coming summer. 1t is believed that
a commodious and modern church
plant can be constructed for about
$14, 900, by using the old building. The
new building, according to those act
i've in the work, will be planned es-
pecial1y for Sunday school purposes,
The Sunday school having far out
grown the present building.
Large Attendance at Sunday Services
The attendance at both the morning
and evening services Sunday was
large, with the enrolment at Sunday
school totaling 263. The evangelistlc

Rev. Ross will go to Colfax after
completing his work here and will
hold a series of meetings at the
Christian church in that city.

CONGRESSMAN TELLS OF
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

Washington-(A P.)-An avalanche
of broken plaster, bricks, snow, splill-
tered wood and twisted steel beams
catapulting on the audience while the
orchestra played and comedy film
ground out, is the description of the
Knickerbocker theatre disaster given
today by Representative John H.
Smithwick of Pensacola, Fla. He was
in the balcony when the roof coliaps-
ed under it's weight of snow. He es-
capped unaided-just how, he cannot
recall with more or less serious
hurts.
"The orchestra was playing music
and a comic film was running he
said in his bed, bandaged and with his
face and hands covered with cuts.
"Sudden1y there was a sharp crack
I saw a great fissure running across
the ceiling, right over my head. The
plaster began to fall, all over the
theatre, it seemed to me. While | was
looking up a great piece right ever
my head started to fall. + d'cked,
crouching, invOluntarily, / suppose,
down between the seats. The piece
struck the seat where I had been sit
ting. The force was broken by the
seat, but it pinned me down.
"The noise was awful. It was
great roar. 1t was simply lndescrib-
able. I never can forget it.
sIn the midst of the roaring were
shrieks and cries of women and
children and a few shouts Of men.
There were cries for help, groans and
the worst of all, the means of those in
terrible pain. It was awful. / can't
describe it, I see it all the time, those
poor children and men and women
crying and groaning."

SHANTUNG PROBLEM is
NEARING SETTLEMENT

Peking-(A. P)-The government
is understood to hold the final Shan
tung proposal at Washington confer
ence, as framed by the British and
American delegates, should be accep-
ted While it is felt to be important
that Port Kiao Chow also should be
adjusted, it is realized that this could
not be done without settlement of the
railway question, therefore it was
unwise to refuse the proffercd ad-
justment

heavy, those for December being the
largest reported during the past three
years. They were greater by 415
! percent in number and 13 percent il
total liability than failures III Decem-
ber 1920.
Bank clearings of the 20 principal
cities during December of 1927 1885,
900 were only Al percent less than
the clearings of December 1920 This
is the smallest percentage of decrease
for any month of 1921, when COM
pared with the corresponding month
of 1920, and a considerably smaller
percentage of decrease than occur
red in wholesale and retail prices
during the period. 1t would appear
that the physical volume of business
is now greater than it was a year ago
Notwithstanding exceptions in Sc
attic and Spokane, savings deposits
generally throughout the district do
not show the decline which might
have been anticipated, but, instead,
an increase of As percent in amount
during the year ending December
18th.
December sales of 2S reporting re-
tail stores were "a precent less in
dollar value than they were in Decem-
ber 1920. 1t is apparent that the holi-
day trade this year was appreciably
larger in physical volume than it was
last year.
Figures are now available cover
ing sales during the years 1920 and
1921 of the reporting firms in ten
lines of wholesale trade These fig
ures are based upon a comparison of
dollar value of net sales and show
a decrease in all reporting lines, vary
ing from Ill percent for drugs to 52.6
for agricultural implements. Exclud-
ing the latter, the average discount
for all lines would not be far from 20
percent. If corrections of dollar
values were made to compensate for
the price declines which have occur
red in all lines during the past two
years is probable that the physical
volume of merchandise moved at
wholesale would show approximately
the same as that moved in 1920. In
November three wholesale lines, dry
goods, furniture and automobile tires,
larger dollar values of sales
than in November 1920, and in De-
eember two more lines, drugs and
shoes, were added to the list"

had had relatives in the ruins. The
clang of fire apparatus brought other
hundreds and until the marines came
painting up, police were powerless

Firemen plunged into the wreckage
with lanterns. Men with electric
torches came from all sides. On the

LABOR ON FARMS
CHEAPER in 1921
REPORT OF IDAHO STATISTICIAN
SHOWS 40 PER CENT LESS IN
1921 THAN IN 1920.

Wages for farm labor in Idaho in
1921 were about 40 per cent lower
than in 1920 and about half way be-
tween those paid in 1916 and 1917,
according to a tabulation just COM
pleted by Julius H. Jacobson, agricul-
tural statistician of the Idaho crop
reporting service and published in the
Idaho Statesman.
The average wage, with board, in
Idaho last year was SAT month, and
in 1920 the farm hand received $7S
and his board for a months work In
1921 the farm hand who boarded him
self was paid an average of S67 a
month in Idaho, while in the previous
year he received $105. The average
price of farm labor in Idaho in 1921,
with board was higher than the aver
age of the United States without
board.
Substantial Reductions Made
"TheSe were substantial reduc-
tions,'' Mr.. jacobson says, "and aided
materially in reducing the cost of
productienv=Alat still 1921 farm wages
were 81 per cent higher than those
paid in 1914, while the prices the
farmer received for many of his 1921
crops equaled, or were lower than,
those received in the pre-war days of
1914
''As in previous years, 1921 farm
wages in the IL far western states
were again considerably higher than
in the other groups of states. The
average of $47.29 per month, with
board, was nearly double that paid in
southern states, and about a third
higher than the scale of northern and
central states OF the far western
states, Idaho ranked fourth, it's wage
scale being exceeded by California,
Washington and Nevada"

and monthly wages paid in the United
States and Idaho for the years 1914,

Coach David McMillan's Idaho Van
dals advanced one more step on their
irresistible advance to the Pacific
Coast and Northwest conference
/ basketball championships by defeat
! ing Is to 3, the Washington State
Cougars on their own floor at Pull
man Saturday night. The game was
rough and fast and Al Fox's phe-
nominal free throw shooting saved the
day for Idaho. Close defenses by both
teams was the feature of the game
and kept down the scor.
Lead From Start
Idaho led from the first tip-off and
was never passed on the score by
Coach Doc" Boilers men. The score
at the end of the first half was to
z in favor Of Idaho. In the first
part of the second half the Vandals
jumped into a comfortable lead and
salted the game away. In the closing
minutes the Vandals. on the long end
of the score and content with their
count of Is, passed the ball around
to each other until the timers gun
sounded the end of the contest. In the
closing minutes of the game, however
the Cougars staged a game rally and
by the making of two field baskets
added up their score to IS.
The game was rough with numerous
technical and personal fouls called by
Referee Sam Meyer of Spokane. Al
Fox was poison for Washington
State college with his foul basket
shooting, converting nine baskets in
IL attempts, while Captain Friel of
Washington State made good on only
five of his IS chances. More fouls
might have been called by Referee
Meyer on Washington State.
