VESTS FINANCES IN BETTER
SHAPE STATES REPORT

SAN Frandisco-Financsal condi-
lions in principal cities and agricul-
ural areas of twelfth federal reserve
district June 80, 1928, were good
according to the result of survey
by John l.. Perrin, chairman of the
board Of federal reserve bank of San
Francisco, published here today.
Material Improvements In some
sections Of Oregon, Idaho and Utah,
but little change in other parts Of
the district, occurred during the fis-
cal year preceding that date, the
statement said.
Credit conditions in California,
western Oregon, western Washington
and Nevada are generally good; in
only a few sections of eastern
Washington, northern oregon, Idaho
and Utah are still poor, the survey
revealed. according to Perrin.
Figures for Arizona were not
available and were not used in ar
irving at the conclusion that on that
date 70 per cent of the area revealed
conditions good" 25.8 per cent
FAIR" and AZ per cent "poor," COM
pared respectively with 66.1, 27.2
and CT per cent year ago.

Frank Kinnison of Payette, who Is
entering his second season as half
back of the University of Idaho foot
ball squad, is one of those players
whose work at times verges on the
spectacular. Kinnison played one
year on the Payette high school be-
fore the World War and again in
the fall of 1920, during which season
he was captain of the Payette team.
He made his freshman numerals in
the season of 1921 and his showing
at that time forecast a successful
varsity career Last year he made
regular halfback berth and this year
has started out as one of Coach
Mathews prize backs. Kinnison
weighs 10 pounds and is 5 feet,
8 inches tall. He has worlds of speed
and lodges through a broken field
with great skill.

STATE IRRIGATION FINANCES

Here is an interesting example of
state irrigation administration in one
of the western states.
Silver Lake irrigation project in
Oregon includes $500 acres of land
on which $275,OO0 bonds were is
sued under state approval.
Before any of the money could be
expended $13,290 accrued interest
had to be met out of the principle,
and $S,975.57 for administration.
Then out of the bond insue there
had to be paid attorney fees, S13,-
ESQ; engineering fees, $23,283,3S;
discount on sale of bonds, $50, 800
additional fee to bond house, $4,000.
This left only $158,601.05 to apply
on the project itself, or s24.31 per
acre for overhead before dollar
went for irrigation.
II privately-owned public utility
corporation made any such record of
wasteful expenditure, there would be
good cause to demand public owner
ship.
1t is matter of record that politi-
cal administration costs twice as
much as privately managed business.

UNITED STATES
VETERANS BUREAU

Ten permanent partial awards of
government compensation have been
made in the Seattle district since a
recent order eliminating periodical
physical examinations in certain cases
went into effect, l.. c. Joseph, Pa
cific Northwest manager of the Unit
ed States Veterans Bureau, an
nounced today. These are cases
where it has been definitely de-
termined by special medical board
that the war disabilities will be per-
manent throughout the lifetime of
the claimant.
; Mr.. Jesseph stated that All cases
in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
have been recommended for special
medical examination to determine
whether or not they come under the
new order relative to permanent in
juries such as amputations, gun
shot wounds and certain forms of
bone and nerve troubles. This is
more than 10 per cent of the run
ming compensation awards. The
purpose of the new order is to elm
mate constant handling of these
cases and examinations in connec
ton with them, thereby saving the
government money and giving the
veteran the advantage of definite
income. The ex-service man, re-
tains the. privilege of seeking an in
crease in compensation in case the
war injury, becomes aggravated, Mr..
Jesseph stated.

Boise, Idaho-Governor G. G.
Moore, busy man that he is, re-
NAMED at Boise and worked on the
Pardon Board and turned down the
invitation to speak at the Western
Tariff Congress at Denvber. He sent
Commissioner of Agriculture Marcus
A. Means to represent the farming
interests and showed his endorsement
of a sensible tariff with the follow
ing message:
Gentlemen, there Is no question
as to the attitude of the people of
Idaho on the tariff matter. 1t has
ceased to be campaign issue with
the great majority of the citizens of
this Commonwealth. It's very COM
mercial existence is bound up with
the tariff schedule. AS far as 1 can
ascertain there seems to be little
argument against a protective tariff
except by small group of manufact-
ureres who wish to buy cheaper raw
material and make a much greater
profit. This group is found in the
east, not in the west
Fortunes have been made, mil
lionaires have been produced almost
over night by the protective tariff
on pig iron and steel and number
of other items dear to the heart of
the eastern protectionist. But have
the agricultural people of the nation
been as we'll protected? Not in any
sense. You knew what happened to
the wheat man, the beet grower, the
sheep man and the cattle producer
during the debacle of 1920 and 1921.
Such a condition Is to the everlasting
disgrace and shame of a country
which had asked for over production
to feed and clothe the heroic boys at
the front and the very world itself.
That condition must be possible
again, gentlemen, or the very spectre
of Anarchy will reel across our fair
land.
''The principle OF protective tariff
is necessary not only to Idaho but
to the nation at large. 1t is the only
remedy for the commercial conditions
which followed the great war Again
say that the very existence of the
country depends upon guaranteeing
the producer of food and clothing a
just compensation for his labor and
his sacrifice. This is fundamental
and the protective tariff is the means
to this end Without satisfied pro-
ducers the nation cannot exist
Commissioner Means will present
the figures which impress the i'm
perative need of protective tariff for
the state of Idaho. From my own
experience l have made contact with
tariff on wheat, cattle, sheep and
sugar and as producer OF these |
Items I can speak with first-hand In !
Idaho agricultural pro-
ducts demand a sensible tariff. II
trust that you can perfect such an I
organization that the tariff may not
be endangered"

AS TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

It appears that in the current in- quiry into the conduct of federal en- forcement officers in the Birmingham district several suspensions have oc- cured and further specific investiga- tion of these cases will follow. It is believed that some suspicion has been cast also in quarters where it does not belong. It is probable that there are law officers who are not doing their duty, and who make use of their strategic position for personal gain, but it is equally as probable that other officers are sincere, honest and con- scientious in the performance of their duty. The ideal solution would be de- lection and punishment of the un- faithful and exoneration of those who have been found faithful.
 Law infractions, especially of pro- hibition, are hard to prevent. The diff ficulty grows according to the num- Der of ordinarily respectable people who connive at violations and even join in the traffic to the extent to be- ing regular or sporadic customers of those who flout the law for profit. There needs to be a revision of pub lie sentiment on this subject. The number who openly express ridicule or contempt for the prohibition laws is greater than the number of those who openly defend the law. There are many who secretly believe that the laws should be respected but ap- parently lack the courage to say so. A little back-fire of open support of the law would go far to help those officials who now have reason to be- lieve that their efforts are not up- held by public opinion. Yet those who favor enforcement of respect for the law are surely in the great ma jority. To test it, why do they not let themselves be heard from?
