A Good Settlement

The reclamation department. IT IS
quite apparent, wanted the Boise pro-
ject organized as an irrigation district
rather badly. For it was trading stock
undoubtedly hat made possible the
most favorable agreement for basis OF
a new contract. But it must be said
in justice to Mr.. Cannon that he came
to Idaho with full appreciation Of the
plight OF project farmers and a de
sire to effect an arrangement with
them that would result in relief.
The diplomacy OF Mr.. Magec is
worthy OF note. Mr.. Magee knew
what project settlers want and what
they need. To that end he was in a
position to obtain from the reclama-
ton representatives the most favor
bic contract.
Ii is useless at this time to COM
ment on the terms of the agreemnt.
Certain it is. however. that if they can
be approved by the secretary of the
interior. real relief is in sight for the
Boise project. With the 40 year bill
a remote possibility so far as en-
actment into law by the coming SEES
sion OF congress is concerned. it is
doubly well that the Boise project
has been afforded another and equally
desirable avenuc for escape from a
situation that had become impossible

less so. For example the local Pro-
sressive paper used to now and then
get a job OF printing from the Repub-
lican administration. but if any Re-
publican paper has had any business
from the Progressive administration,
the Leader Herald has not heard OF
1t. This is not by the way of COM
plant. We believe the papers which
help win victories are entitled to the
business growing out of party sue
cess, other things being equal. 1t is
merely mentioned as a fact, without
criticism.
As to taxes, the tax notices do not
show any material decrease. On the
contrary, owing TO the increase in
valuations. many men find their tax
es increased aside from the ten mills.
1t is only claimed that the statement
to be put out the first of the year
will show a saving Of a few thou
sands Of dollars. Even il it does. il
no more than should be expected.
Everybody has been economizing the
past year. Had Republicans been In
power, they would have made some
too. At best. the present ad-
ministration car show no superiority
the former one. Why, then, was
one a greedy gang with its feet in
IN public trough and the other do

pense. a band of simon pure pa

OF course, the truth is that party
do not enter into county adj

~ and integrity Of the individuals
making up the personnel OF a given

Climbing the Wall

The so-called Chinese Wall" which
the Democrats charged the Republi-
cans with erecting in the form of pro-
tective tariff was not so high as to
prevent an invasion by 10000 wooden
and tin soldiers made in Germany and
sent to the United States in one ship
ment. And this shipment whl be
many times duplicated. This must be
bitter reading for the Democrats who
were so blatant in their talk about a

ASKED AND
ANSWERED

Q. What is the Gorgas plant that
sold at Muscle Shoals? How does
this affect the Ford offer?
The Corgas plant ut Muscle Shoals
IS a steam power plant built as an
auxiliary unit to supplement water
power. IL was finished before the wat
er power units. in order that it might
be utilized for war purposes. Wilson
dam and the water power units are
still being built. Hery Ford offered
SS,OOO.O00 for the entire Muscle
plant, including the Gorges steam
plant. The steam plant was bough,
by the Alabama Power company. in
September, and the company paid the
government S3.472,4S7.25. Thus it will
be seen that for the Gorgas plant the
government received within a little
more than a million and a half dollars
as much as Mr.. Ford offered for the
whole works.

The Afternoon Dress No Longer
Drags its Tail Behind it

The mandates from Paris lack
much of their accustomed ferocity
this year. There are roughly
sketched rules of conduct and cos
tune, but no stern ''thou shalt" and
thou shalt mott Your frock may
be a plain sheath, or it may rise
from the ground in tiers. 1t may
be as sharp in outline as one of
those German black paper silhou-
cites or it may fall in twenty tag
ends of drapery. The material
may be a reproduction of an
Oriental riot, or, like the accom-
panying drawing, resemble pep
permitted American candy.
The foulard-like pattern of this
dress looks like nothing as much
as the little white aromatic drops
on old-fashioned brown chocolate
circles, for the crepe de chine it
self is the new rich brown so ia
vored this spring. Henri Creange,
the designer, who originated the
the patterr, has added a few blue
dots to the white, which complete
the gay charm of the material.
The frock itself is made with an
oblong neck from which falls a
capelike panel in back, long
enough to reach the bottom of tn,
belt and wide enough to form a
piquant covering for the arms
a modest sleeve in back and a.
mere strap in front. The lining
of the panel and the voluminous
sash, except for its ends, are made
of plain brown crepe de chine.
This could be varied to contrast
ing color if desired.
The blouse is long and loose,
caught in few gathers at the
shoulder. The skirt is compara-
lively short, an indication that
semi-dress frocks will drag their
tails less and less.

JOB WAITS FOR EDISON, JR.
Wizards Son to Enter Plant Without

said there is job waiting at the Edi-

mental test usually insisted on for cam
didates.

off in the Einstein direction he will be

Thomas Miller Edison said he would
accept the job and attempt to show his
father something about college men.
