Movement OF Timothy Light

The movement of timothy hay to
market, however. has not been as hea-
w to date as for the corresponding
period last year, the survey shows.
1t is estimated that about 36 per cent.
OF the marketable surplus had been
marketed TO December 10, compared
with 3S per cent. on December Is.
1921. Fifty per cent. OF the prairie
surplus has been marketed, accord
ing to these estimates. compared with
80 per cent for the corresponding
period last year.
Drouth in the Southwest is report
ed to have curtailed production of al
falfa and also to have created an un-

heavy movement of alfalfa from the
Western producing territories into
the drouth area.
Price Reflects Alfalfa Demand
The increased demand for alfalfa
has been reflected in the price trend.
On September Is, No. l alfalfa was
quoted at the principal markets at an
average price of $21.50 per ton. On
December Is. the average price of al

SENATOR PIKE ON
Reconsideration
OF THIS COUNTY
Bill for Change Observation-Disclosures
lions Are Being Circulated
Among Taxpayers.

State Senator W. #. Pike has in
troduced a bill In the senate de-
signed to bring about change In
classification OF this county and Pc
titions were passed here last week
calling on the legislature to approve
such a measure.
In statement to The Record Doc
tor pike has the following TO say
regarding the matter:
You will note that I have intro
duced a bill which would place Twin
Falls county in the list OF flrst-class
counties. whore Il was. I believe. un-
I'll the session two years ago.
II did this In direct response TO a
ruling that was made by the county
attorney of Twin Falls county, which
ruling had previously been made by
the former attorney 20 the effect
that Il is OF doubtful legality for the
county commissioners OF any other
than a first-class county 10 pay sal
aries or other bills oftener than quar-
terly II is a fact that many conn
ties ofthe state are doing H. but II
Is also fact that they are probably
in jeopardy and might receive tho
same treatment at the hands OF the
law for 30 doing as was melted out
to our school turstees and our high
way board. The savings I'm discounts
by paying bills every 80 days In
stead OF every 80 days is very CON
siderable. The present county board
has evidenced its entire willingness
TO go onto a full-time basis and has
announced its intention OF so doing
whether the county Is put In the
first class or not, but the things we
have mentioned they cannot do un-
der the legal statutes or second class |
counties. BY giving full time they |
ire able TO dispense with at least two |
paid employees. which action they |
already have taken.
Under the constitutional proyi- |
lion that salaries raised during n
ERIN OF office cannot apply To that
ERIN, the commissioners are forbid
len TO receive any increase during
his biennium, despite the factthat
~ rt-'ian1 '0tHtt'n tafi1 hikbfl SAL
Iries 10 the commissioners. In Jus
ice TO the present board, / will say
hat they unanimously request that
he change be made regardless OF
he fact that raise OF salary does
lot 20 with IL. as they believe II
est for the county.
The Twin Falls delegation is anx-
GUS 10 receive the ideas of the pub

FATHER AND SON
BANQUET HERE
NEXT WEDNESDAY,

The third annual Father and Son
banquet will be held at the Methodist
church Wednesday evening, Febru-
airy 81, at o'clock sharp. These
banquets have proved among the
most profitable and pleasant social
gatherings of the year. They are
banquets with a purpose. No father
can afford not to be a pal TO his
son. No son can afford not 10 be a
pal to his father. These banquets
are intended to help the father and
his boys get closer together.
OF course II won't help a father
who does not care enough about his
boy to bring him TO the banquet, un-
less the boy can find some other IA
Their enough Interested in him TO
bring him.
The tickets are placed at only the
price OF a meal. so that all may
come. Every man Is expected 20

Interesting Statistics

Public schools, school taxes ana
education are at all times topics OF
interest in a democracy. In our own
state of Idaho, these are foremost
questions. Idaho is setting an ex-
ample that the rest OF the Union is
watching with keen interest. Idaho's
legislation, defining the qualifica-
tions necessary for a person to have
before becoming an Idaho teacher,
is among the most advanced in the
United States. II is said that IL all
the teachers in the nation were COM
PEELED TO present the qualifications
required of Idaho teachers there
would be a very small per centage OF
the present teachers holding their
positions.
Idaho, with its progressive scheme
OF education throughout all its in
stitutions, together with the scale OF
wages paid as compared with living
expenses places Idaho among the
most desirable states in which TO
teach or raise family. This educa-
tional plan as followed by our state
does not pass without some criticism
and interference. But glorious is
the fact that no opposition rises but
the actual limitations of finances. II
would not be reasonable to expect
that any state could undertake the
educational program that has been
adopted by Idaho and not call on the
taxpayers for large sums of money.
During the past few years there were
scarcely any districts that did not
in some way add to their expenses,
costs of improvement or new build
ings Everywhere there seemed TO
be more pupils than school space
would hold. To provide ample room
and instruction for these young per-
sons districts everywhere bonded
and constructed the necessary addi-
lions. Many of these new buildings
were very costly in plans and styles.
Quoting from the educational direc-
tory of the state of Idaho for the
year 1929. figures show that the
total bonded Indebtedness OF the
school districts in the state is SILL

COMMISSIONERS
PLEDGED not TO
INCREASE SALARY
Late Ruling OF Attorney General Says
BILLS Can Only BE Paid
Quarterly.

In lengthy resolution passed by
the board OF county commissioners
at It's sessionTuesday the members
so on record In regard to the matter
OF salary payment should this coun-
" be placed in the first class. as is
proposed in bill now before the
state legislature.
The resolutions recife that should
the county be made n first-class unit.
instead OF second class, as is now the
case. the salaries OF the commits
sioners would thereby be increased
from 5000 TO $500 yearly.
AS the commissioners In their pre-
election campaign pledged strict
economy. and we're elected upon that
issue, they state in unmistakable
language that:
I'm the event OF the adoption OF
said bill, or the adoption of any 9th
er law, carrying with Il an increase

In an opinion rendered by County
Attorney J. w. Taylor and sustained
Tuesdayby A. II. Conner. attorney
general of tho state. county boards
cannot lawfully pay bills and issue
warrants other than quarterly, even
though this or any other county
should be made a county OF the first
class One OF the principal reasons
urged by those favoring the making
OF this first-class county was that
the commissioners could pay bills
instead OF quarterly.
Since the attorney general has
ruled adversely It appears that only

From the educational directory Il
is interesting to note the way the
different counties vary In educational
costs. The county school tax levy
is lowest in Lincoln county. where
the levy is only 2.1 mills; while in
Clark county the levy rises to 81
mills. The average county levy over
the state is Sc mills on the dollar
For Twin Falls county the levy is
4.3 mills. In the respect of special
levies made by the districts in Twin
Falls county II is remarkable TO find
that even here the taxpayers are not
paying more than the average tax
payer over the state. This, I'm view
of the>million and more OF outstand-
ing bonds would indicate very con-
sentative management OF school at
fairs in Twin Falls county at the
present time. The range OF county
levies from almost mills TO 81 mills
would I'm itself recommend larger
share OF the state educational ex-
pense being cared for by statewide
tax.
Taking up the special levles OF
the 1896 districts in Idaho the
same wide range of levies is noticed. |

is the amount asked for In eight dis

Der OF copies printed will also be
increased, according TO the staff.
Although especially attractive bids
were received from two outside

shop. There have been three an
nuals issued nthe history of the
local high school. but this, the
fourth, will be the first annual to
