~ALEXANDER'S STORY is
TOO OLD.

Moses Alexander began his 1922
campaign by saying that W will not
only save the people of Idaho a million
dollars, but we will save them mill
lions" If that should be the case, the
Lord help poor old Idaho, for the last
time Moses saved a million, he did it
at the expense of the inmates of tn in
sane asylum, the old soldiers of the
soldiers home, the normal schools, the
university of Idaho and the state PEN
itentiary. 1t required a two and a half
mill state levy in 1919, just to pay up
the indebtedness and interest incurred
by Nose while in office.
Intelligent people will not listen to
such claptrap, from any candidate,
particularly one who seeks the gov
errors chair. The governor of the
state and his entire administrative or
garization cannot in the slightest de-
gree, influence county taxes, high
way district taxes or Independent or
common school district taxes. Yet he
would save the people millions Of dol
lars The governor Will have control
over only rs percent Of the state
expenses, yet he told his audience in
American Falls not many weeks ago
lndL UG WOulU T6uuC6 ldA66 20 per
cent. Nose would have to eliminate
every state office and state employee
in order to reduce the taxes Of the
people of the state n teneth of seven
ty five percent-and then we would
have no state. If in addition to coils
ing every state office, he should close
all state universities and colleges, due
away with state highways, close the
penitentiarys and reform schools, the
insane asylums and homes for the old
soldiers,-if he should do all this, he
would only reduce the taxes, Is per
cent. And yet Nose would reduce
them rs percent regardless of the
figures.
In the state of Idaho, about one mil
lion of state taxes goes for highways,
$800,000 goes for schools, and of the
total of about $3,0OO,0OO for pur-
poses, the governor directly controls
only about $50, OOO-yet Nose would
save millions.
When taxpayers are confronted with
this sort of talk they should dig down
for the little old tax statement. 1t
will show the following, that, as
far as Power County is concerned,
Is percent of all taxes are levied by
county commissioners.
81 percent Of all taxes are levied by
school boards.
10 percent Of all taxes are levied by
Highway District Boards.
s percent Of all taxes are levied by
city and village councils.
s percent Of all taxes are levied for
state schools,
BIZ percent of all taxes are levied
for state highways, bond isues, penal
institutions, etc.
tx percent Of ali taxes are levied
for the support Of State Departments
Making a total of 100 percent for al
taxes paid-and yet Alexander would
save the people of the state millions
of dollars and reduce their taxes n
percent.

Did you ever hear of Doolittle?
If some fellow had told your grand
father when he was a boy that n the
time of his grandchildren a man would
take dinner one evening on the cooi
summer veranda overlooking the
broad Atlantic and at ten o'clock bid
his friends good night saying, 81 am

have looked upon the predictor as

Well-Doolittle did 1T. And not
many people noticed it.. The whole
world accepted it as a little news item
of passing interest. Few even noted
the item and most of those who did as
quickly forgot it.
Lieutenant James H. Doolittle, U. S.
Army aviator, hoped off in his aero
plane from the broad Atlantic at Fable

take breakfast with his wife and

from sea to sea in twenty-one hours

ALAS THE ANGLE
WORM.

And now We have a device by which
the angle worm is hunted in his lair,
brought to the surface to be devoured
for the sustenance of the great Amer
lean hen. Peter ]. O'Keefe, of Green
witch, Connecticut, is the inventor.
The device is an electrical one and
literally shocks the worms out of the
ground. 1t consists of two brass rods
that are pushed into the earth several
feet apart. A wire is attached to each
rod and each wire connects with an
ordinary telephone magnetic.
BY twisting the handle of the mag
neto the angle worm feels it is time tc
take the air. Rapidly he moves to es-
cape, but, alas the chicken is waiting

the blood OF Christ IS the only
fact that rs constructive, redemp-
tive, and recreative.
THIRD-The stubborn fact of

great entity known as sinful man
cannot be improved by external
processes; he cannot be redeemed
by education or evolution, or any
other of the decisions. He can be
saved only by the -regenerating act
of the Holy Ghost.
1t is the duty of the church and
of every minister of the gospel to
preach the awfulness of sin, the
absolute certainty and power of
salvation, the Judgment that awaits
the nrepentant, and to .denounce
with all the power possible the

"A man who a see only the posi-
Bile mistakes of government officials
and blinds his eyes to unquestionable
and notorious crimes committed by
the enemies of law and order, is at
heart an anarchist, whatever may be
his pretensions in his public utter
ances. His sympathies are with the
idler, not with the worker. His con-
cern is for the welfare of the rioter.
not for the welfare of the ~law-abiding
citizen. He glories in the success OF
crime and bewails the supremacy OF
law. He exalts tyranny by intimida-
ton and destroys respect for courts
In his zeal for protection of the right
of some men to quit, he has no thought
for the right of other men to work. Hs
justifies himself by quoting constitu-
tional guarantees of free speech, but
he is in league with men who defy the
constitutional guarantee of freedom to
live. He is against this government OF
any other government that proposes u
protect the rights of all from the brute
force of a few. He is an undesirable
citizen in any country at any time"

and as 0 as the worm imagines he
is safe from danger his troubles come
to an end.
Thus does the world move on. If
the mentality of the angle worm were
properly developed, he would sense the
greater danger of leaving his natural
environment.
AS time goes on and the standard
of angle worm intelligence advances,
things may improve for him; but in the
meantime, he will have to look for
temporary protection to the American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Angle Worms, an organization
which undoubtedly will come into be-
ing as soon as the cruelty of tine

records broken.
Yale, Princeton, Wellesley, Union,
Pennsylvania, VassaF and Dartmouth
reached the pinnacle of their prosper
ity. 1t is also true of many western
colleges.
Fact is that this prosperity for COL
leges is due largely to the change in
the viewpoint of our educational in
situations. Many cobwebs have been
swept away.
Today the college means more than
the accepted understanding of acade-
mic teaching. 1t means a broader vi
sion of life and a greater understand
ing of the necessity for the thing worth
while.
The college man today is to be found
everywhere. He is at the head of a
great banking institution, he is a
chauffeur he drives an ice wagon, he
and ornaments the plumbing estab-
lishment.
Sometimes the unthinking criticize
the college because its graduates may
be found driving a milk wagon and the
like The answer, of course, is that
if all milk wagon drivers were college
men milk would be delivered more or
derby and even our babyhood would
be helped. e
The greatness of the college does not
lie in it's being the gangway down
which one may walk to the professions.
Its worth is in giving to the country
men who can thoroughly perform the
duty of the hour.
The college is not the panacea for
empty skulls. The best it can do is
to equip the man who has something
under his hat.

Farms


The successful farm is as closely allied
with a bank as with the stock or seed it pro-
posed to increase to a profit.
AS an example, take sheep. 1t has been
many years since the British learned from the
Romans the art Of spinning wool.
1t was in 1909 that the first sheep into the
u. S.. were landed at jamestown, Va, and al
most two centuries later, 1892, that the first
carding machine was invented.
Progress has been fast since then. Today
-one of the biggest wooden manufacturers
produces 100000 yards of fabric each year.
and it's assets are $13O, 100000. When that
much money is Notwithstanding is a part of
it.
In our humble way, this bank is vital in
the industrial and agricultural progress of the
woodland you-Mr. Stockman or Farmer
have a hand, no matter what commodity you
cultivate or produce.
To keep wheels turning, we should work
together, whether it be savings, checking,
loans or investments.
