College Classes
Set New Records
Registration is Already
Larger than Last
Year

College of Idaho registration has
already broken the high water mark
of last year and promises to greatly
exceed former registration records
Early Monday afternoon, 303 students
had enrolled for college work. Last
years total registration was 2S6.
OF this years registration, l40 are
members of the freshman class. This
number is slightly below that OF last
year. when for the entire year LA
freshmen enrolled. 1t is almost GER
tain. however, that the freshman en-
rollmcnt will considerably exceed tina,
OF last year.
Confusion. particularly among the
"frosh." as usual marked the opening
day OF actual school work Monday.
However. classes and class work are
rapidly rounding into the accustomed
channel and the entire college machine
is expected to be functioning smooth
ly shortly.

| can not refrain from writing and
giving the farmers side of the situa-
ton as it is in Idaho. 1t is true that
farm produce is slightly higher than
last year but it has not advanced suf-
fcicntly yet to net the farmers any
profit to speak of. After the farmer
pays his taxes interest, labor and Incl
dentals he has nothing left for him
self, and il he is badly in debt as most
of the farmers are, this years crop is
not a starter to remove the debt bur-
den. Very few farmers can exchange
help for all their crops, if they ex-
changed with each neighbor to put
up the hay and harvest the other vari-
Gus crops they would not be on their
own ranch sufficient time to properly
irrigatc it and take care OF it. Conse-
qucntly every farmer has to hire help
and at $500 day il counts up. The
cost OF labor on an average farm
where hay. wheat, potatoes and let
tucc are raised mot mentioning all the
stock TO be cared for and the rrigat-
ing) is no small item and by the time
the farmer pays il and all the other
expenses related TO running a ranch
he is about as bad of at thr end OF
the year as he was before he worked
fourteen hours day the whole spring
and summer. Let's hope something
will be done so the farmer can get an
honest price for his produce and at
least make enough out OF his labor 10
keep his family in decent living and
some comforts thrown in.

| Lettuce Bulletin
Outlook is Poor
Firms Too Far Away
to Get Good
Service

Prospects for obtaining a lettuce
bulletin this year to be mailed to Boise
Valley lettuce producers are not
bright. Last week when the federal
bureau of markets was requested to
continue the local Office through the
lettuce marketing period and to issue
daily bulletins for producers and deal
ers alike. information was obtained in
dicating that while the department
would gladly give such service, in-
ances prohibited.
Machinery was Immediately set in
motion to obtain the necessary money,
by private subscription from inter-
ested dealers. Those in Caldwell were
willing to assist financially to obtain
the bulletins for themselves and for
producers dealing with them. Those
out of town, however. have written to
the Commercial club that they do not
obtain such daily bulletins in time to
have them Of value. Three days, they
say, are necessary to obtain these bull
ctins in Boise from Caldwell.
Because Of the latcncss of the sea-
son. no other method OF financing such
a bulletin will be attempted. Plans
will be made at once. however, TO
have the lettuce bulletins issued here
next season just as the potato bule-
tins are now.

Don't Want Tariff
on Cattle Lowered
Governor Assists Cam
paig-n to keep Rates
High

Boise-Governor c. C. Moore and
Mark Means. commissioner of agri-
culture are making a determined
stand against the lowering OF tariff on
cattle from Canada. as advocated by
different organizations in the country.
This stand was made more clear in a
letter OF Governor Moore to Les Dill
lingham of Mackay. secretary of the
Idaho State Cattle and Horse Grow
ers' association, in which the governor
says in part:
Il know personally that there are
thousands OF cattle in Idaho which
are feeders and also that we have
thousands OF tons of hay in Idaho
which should be utilized to the end of
putting these cattle on the market
believe that the tariff on cattle and
hides should be as rigidly enforced as
the tariff on sheep and wool Ger
tainly the Idaho stockgrower has had
a hard enough time to keep going in
the last few years and the State OF
Idaho will do everything in its power
to help them back on their feet again
Commissioner Mark Means makes
a similar statement against this pro-
posal by the American Farm Bureau
organization. Commissioner Means
will no doubt attend the Denver rate
convention to give Idaho's official
views on the matter.

Three important causes OF action

graveled streets. the cost of these i'm

The location is slightly, overlooking
what will be largest artificial reser-

tains a few miles in the background.
Most towns. like Topsy. just growed.
Ii will not be so with the new Ameri-

unhampcred. Prevailing winds. great
est possible amount OF sunshine. ir-
rigation, drainage. and everything
suggested by experience has appar-

Careful Planned Features
There are winding streets conform
ing to topography: a ninc-acre park
abutting against the business district,
with reservations for public buildings
adjacent to it: well located churches;
building restrictions are written into
contracts and deeds SO that thought
lessness, ignorance or selhshncss can
not mar the plans.
Warehouses, elevators. mills, lum-
bcr and coal yards and all kinds OF
business requiring trackage are re-
stricted TO an industrial area; black
smith and machine shops and similar
business to one side of certain street:
garages and filling stations to one
side OF street two blocks long; BUSH
ness OF no kind can be established IN
residential districts.
Building restrictions are imposed.
Residences must be located given dis
tances from sidewalks so as to have
uniformity: not more than one resi-
dencc can be put on a lot. and build
ings must be so placed as not to in
terfere with adjacent property own
ers in any way. Residence lots range
in width from fifty to ninety feet.

New Plan to Lower

|. To reduce surtaxes on large in
comes from a maximum OF So per
cent to 25 per cent high limit. He
says il will increase revenue.
p To apply the surplus from this
increase and any other surplus to cut
income tax rates for salaried classes.
This years S5l0,0o0.0oO surplus
gave him the idea Representative Mad
den says. Such surpluses should be
reflected in lower taxes. How the
scale will be applied will not be reveal
ed until congress hears the plan. Mr..
Madden does not believe either the
bonus or decrease in internal revenue
last year will affect his plan. He
would provide for the bonus by spe-
cial tax. The plan will answer Secre-
tary OF Treasury MELONS desires, and
that OF business interests for redue-
ton in high surtax rates.,
