SPEAK NOW OR REMAIN
SILENT A YEAR

Blackfoot has civic duty to
meet next week and it Is time to be
studying the problem. We refer to
the selection OF three trustees for
the school district, and the candi-
dates have to be placed in nomina-
ton at least five days before the
election, which is Tuesday, Sept. 5.
Therefore nominations must be filed
on or before Wednesday, Aug. 20.
The school is one of the big
sources Of expense and taxation, and
in the effort to do justice to the
schools and save them from harm
and at the same time save the tax
payers and stop the process OF con-
ffscation of property thru taxation,
people should select competent per-
sons to administer the schools.
The school board is composed OF
six persns including the chairman,
and at present all Of them are men.
The terms Of Messrs. Nofear Davis,
E. M. Hubbell and Lon Cone expire
and the vacancies are to be filled by
men or women as the voters may de-
termine. There are a good many
patrons of the school who wish that
there might be two women members
of the board, and this is the time to
act if we are to make a change in
that respect.
Some of the things to be thought
of are that women may comprehend
some Of the school problems better
than men do. Schools are neces-
sarily constituted for the children,
and women are the natural custo-
dams of children and of children's
interests. This, of course, applies
more especially to the work of
teaching, where there is direct con-
tact, but the work of the board deals
not only with child problems, but
with problems of discipline and
government, and more still with
problems Of business, and these are
mems activities rather more than
women's.
When women are chosen to fill
places on school boards, people
usually select women who have been
teachers, and while this seems a
logical thing to do, there is re-
tiex in it that is discouraging. A
person who has been teacher
usually takes up school problems
with the idea that they know and
should be needed. A person who
teaches school very long usually de-
velopes the idea that obedience to
them is duty, and experience
teaches that this attitude is usually
carried into business when they en-
ter a business career, and that it
often enters into domestic relations
when they marry. 1t is hard for
them to train themselves bcak to alb
solute equality with others on the
board in the business.
In selecting women for the school
board it is desirable to choose those
who impress people with their
soundness and fairness in all things,
and who will not draw opposition at
the polls and in board meetings for
the lack of such characteristics.
At our sister city of Pocatello
there has been strife in school mat
ters and strife in the management
for a good while, and there are those
who think it is due to the dullness
or obstinacy of men, while there are
others who assert that women on

ton of 250,000 persons in the Finger
Lakes region.
Today a half dozen Of the lead
ing hotel men hold thes sreins of an
organization with 1000 contributing
members and a board of directors
including several Congressman, mil

direct the policies and expenditures

Of immense value to the motorist
and the hotel man.
They have focused the driving
power of the citizenry in twenty
three communities toward the
single object of attracting tourists,
simply because the hotel men at the
outset launched their exploitation
program on a civic rather than a
commercial basis.
All the hotel men had to start
withwas vision and half 4
dozen picturesque lakes in their
locality. Given some natural or his
toric attraction in their neighbor-
hood, and the idea conceived by the
Finger Lakes hotel proprietors, any
other group of hotel men could
double their business with equal
success.
But they must deal in terms OF
regional, rather than individual
community endeavor, If their efforts
arc to have sufficient punch to carry
far afield. The truth of the old
adage that 'in unity there is
strength" has been demons strated
in the Finger Lakes.
1t was in the spring of 1918 that
the Finger Lakes movement was
launched at a meeting of hotel men
at the Osborne House in Auburn.

commerce in sixteen towns of he

pointments will cover every phase
of the problem, not only of or

conclusion.
AT the monthly meeting of the
board held at Wardman Park Inn
the need for cooperation between
all civic organizations in properly

GETTING OUT OF EUROPE

After months of paiEstaking in vesugariOn ot European economic prospects the three biggest life iu- suraucs companies i1 this country, the New York Life. the Mutual and tAe Equitable. have determined ,o retire from that field of business For many yeGrs they nave been de- velgpjng the continental field until tlcy have built up a business esa- mated at SI.00O.U0O,OO0 at the start cc the world war. All that Is now be- ing turned ever to native concerns and the American companies VIII leave Europe with the exception ot the British Isles. The reasons for this reversal Of policy are the de- preciaJ.0n Of money, excessive taxes, constantly mounting salaries and wages. uufayorabIs legislation, uR- fair court decisions, and inability to forecast what is likely to happen in lae countries Of COutentlRentaI Eu- rope.
 Some ot ,he best business minds in the country direct the affairs of those great Lnsurause companies, and their Judgment Of Old World con- dtu0us must be accepted as sound. That IS the situation Into which some of our prominent citizens, more gifted with enthusiasm than with intelligence, have sought to in v0lve the United States. What is regarded as a menace to the treas ur.es Ot insurance companies would be even more of a danger to the United States Treasury. Certain loss To Us in money and men would fol- low such au entangIement. and we would gain no friendship but pro- yoke many jealousies.
