WATER DELIVERED
 UNDER DIFFICULTY

The heavy snow storm of this week made most of the streets im- psssable for a short period, until scrapers and teams leveled the deep drifts. The water wagon tipped over three different times on Thurs day while attempting to reach town from the well on Snake river. Side streets, receiving little travel, still present deep drifts.

RAILROADS TOLD

Denver.-Governor Sweet calls up
on the railroads of this state to serve
the people. This followed the state
legislatures refusal to recognize that
the companies poor motive power

sengers or freight.
The representatives of the public
utilities commission have made re-
peated efforts to have the railroads
remedy the critical situation which
exists, without success" said the gov
ernor. "On the contrary, the motive
power of the railroads has become in
creasingly inefficient and at times al
most useless"
The governor orders the attorney
general to investigate the matter and
to act with the public utilities COM
mission. "The remedies of mandamus
and injunction are available to COM
pei obedience to their ORDERS" the
governor declares.
The railroads present plight is
caused by their anti-union attitude
toward shop employees who are asking
that they accept the Baltimore agree
ment, as have more than 100 railroads
throughout the country.

SCARCITY" SAY
LAW MAKERS

Washington.-"The prosperity of
the United States does not depend
upon additional unskilled immigrants
coming to this country" is the house
immigration committees challenge to
the national association of manufac-
turers, and other advocates of cheap
labor through immigration.
The committee thoroughly inyesti-
gated the immigration issue and made
its report to the house but few days
before adjournment.
"There are 100000 unemployed
now here" the committee said. quo
tas from northwestern Europe are not
exhausted. There are 100000 coal
miners who are unemployed regularly
due to overabundance of workers in
that occupation. Aliens who leave
this country temporarily may return
within six. months outside of quotas.
IF work was so plentiful, why did
more male immigrants go back to
their native lands than came here in
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922 ?"
The committee opposes the recon-
mendation of the national association
of manufacturers that "the United
States assert the right to register
distribute, educate and otherwise SUI
pervise the alien during the period OF
his alienage." This system can not be
sustained, the committee declared, be-
cause distribution" and Supervision
might develop a system of peonage
abhorrent to the institutions of the
United States.
The committee accepts the opinion
expressed by Walter Renton ingalls,
engineer and author, of Mt. Vernon
N. Y, that "the alleged labor shortage
and the effect of immigration curtail.
ments are being misunderstood anC
overrated."
Testifying before the committee
Mr.. ingalls, said, in part:
Although business activity in
the United States increased
greatly in 1922, in comparison
with the abyss of 1921, do not
find, from examination of the
| statistical evidence, that the rate
of production in the latter part
of 1922 was any higher than in
1913. The aggregate production
of raw materials was about the
same in 1922 as in 1913. Factory
employment in the state of New
York, which is considered to af-
ford fairly reliable sample for
the whole country, rose in the
latter part of 1922 about to the
level of the middle of 1914 when
this series of figures began.
Building construction in 1922,
while the greatest on record in
terms of dollars, appears from
my own studies of this subject to

have been less in terms of guam
tity in 1922 than in 1913.
"All this is offered with no in
tention of contradicting represen-
tations of shortage of labor of
some kinds and at some places.
That such SHORTAGE exists is evil
denced by the fact that employ
ers have had to increase wages to
get the labor they need, which
they would not do unless they had
to-"
Instead of permitting more NAL,
immigrants, the committee favor
changing the 3 per cent law to pc
cent, based on the census of 1890
This would admit 168,S37 immi
grants as against the present quot;
of 357 ,SO3 Exclusive of exemp

WANTS SURVEY
Of SNAKE RIVER
Cooding Will Introduce
Bill at Present
Session

Westinghouse Senator Gooding will
introduce in the Senate bill author
izing the Army Engineers to make a
survey OF Snake River from Lewiston
to Shoshone Falls. to determine
whether or not it is feasible. by can
alization and other improvements. TO
open this stretch OF river to naviga-
ton. so that the products OF the farms
OF Southern Idaho may be shipped to
the seaboard by water. and thus es-
cape the payment of high freight rates
on low price farm products. Congress
never makes appropriations for river
improvements until surveys and esti-
mates have been made by the Engin-
GERS and through his bill Senator
Gooding hopes to have the survey
made next season, in order that the
subject OF the improvement can be
considered by Congress on its merits
at the next regular session. Senator
Gooding has taken the matter up with
all members OF the Idaho delegation
and finds them in full accord with him
on the development, and they will
assist him in seeing that proper ap-
preparation is made for this work.
While Congress is considering plans
for opening up the St Lawrence river,
primarily to afford cheap rates for
farm products grown in the northern
states. and is working to bring about
the manufacture OF nitrate at Muscle
Shoals for the benefit OF farmers gen
orally, the Idaho Senator wants the
Snake River improvement considered,
as being an equally meritorious
scheme for giving the farmers of this
state the benefit OF low water rates
to the seaboard.

FARMER RELIEF
BEFORE SO[ONS
Cooding Finds Washing.
ton Sentiment is
Right

Washington-From numerous con-
ferences he has held since arriving in
Washington Senator +. r. Gooding
makes the prediction that legislation
to aid the farmers is going to receive
early and very serious consideration
at the National Capital this winter.
The Senator first discussed the agri-
cultural situation with President Cool
idge and has since talked with many
senators, congressman and members OF
the cabinet, and his conferences have
convinced him that there is a very
strong desire on the part OF many men
here to grant much needed relief to
the farmers in general, and to the
wheat growers in particular.
In laying before the President the
situation OF the farmers OF Idaho, Sen
ator Gooding declared the govern
ment is largely responsible for the
embarrassing situation in which the
farmers, especially the wheat growers
find themselves today. During the
war the government fixed the price
of wheat, and it developed that the
price fixed was below the cost OF pro.
duction. Then the government made
horizontal increase in freight rate:
which proved to be an undue discrim

GO0DING takes
Up PROBLEM Of
FARMER RELIEF
Lays Reclamation Pro-
ject Conditions Before
Washington, Present
Law must be Amended

Washington - On two occasions
since he reached Washington. Senator
Frank Gooding has discussed with the
Secretary OF the Interior and with the
Fact Finding Commission the condl-
ton OF the farmers on the govern
ment irrigation projects in Idaho. He
stated cmphatically that some amend
ment of the present law must be made.
because the settlers. owing to low
prices now prevailing. and the high
cost OF reclamation. cannot meet their
obligations TO the government as they
fall due He said the farmers have
no wish to evade their payments, but
owing to existing conditions they ac-
tually cannot make their payments
under the present plan. The success
OF the Idaho projects. agriculturally.
he said. has been thoroughly establish
ed. and they should not be wrecked
now by rigid enforcement OF terms
that cannot be met The Idaho pro-
jects. like other projects. he said,
have cost more than was anticipated
when they were begun; more than the
settlers had any idea would be ex-
acted of them. and because OF this
fact and because OF low returns, an
extension of time must be granted.
The Senator does not advocate a fiat
40 year extension; on some projects
that would be more time than condi-
tions justify; on other projects it
would not be time enough. Each
project. in his opinion, must be con-
sidered individually, and a plan OF
extension fixed that will meet the ac-
tual situation The Idaho projects,
Senator Gooding has found, are in
much better shape than some others.
where costs OF construction have gone
much higher than on the Boise, Mini
doka, and King Hill and where the
returns have been less. He pointed to
one project in Wyoming estimated to
cost $500 an acre. that has actually
cost $1,000. while a Nevada project,
estimated to cost $500 an acre, has
cost $1,000, on an average. and on
one unit has reached Sll0.00. The
Idaho projects have not been embar-
rassed with such excessive increases
over original estimates, but even so,
the increase has been hoavy-so
heavy, in fact. that equity demands
the government shall now be lenient
and reasonable in making its collec-
tions. Speaking to the Fact Finding
Commission, Senator Gooding said he
did not believe there was settler in
the west who was advocating repudia-
tion. All they are asking for is some
reasonable relief to meet a condition
that has been brought about without
any fault of their own. Later on SEN
ator Gooding will present detailed
facts and figures showing conditions
on the various Idaho projects.
