NEW CAR FOR STAGE.

The Spokesman Review Of
last Sunday contained a picture
of the newly constructed body
mounted on the International
speed truck chassis that will be
used between Grangeville and
Lewiston as a stage as soon as
weather conditions will permit.
The new stage resembles those
in use between Lewiston and
Spokane and is divided into COM
partments, there being a smok-
ing compartment and a ladies'
compartment. The compart-
ments are separated by plate
glass partitions. The new car
will accommodate about 16 pas
sengers. It is understood that
the No. Z Taxi and Transports
tion company Of Lewiston hopes
to place two of these stages in
operation between Crangcvillt
and Lewiston, one leaving
Grangeville every morning daily
and the other leaving Lewiston
daily at the same time.
The company has been operat-
ing a stage between these towns
for some time and at the present
time a daily service is being
maintained between Lewiston
and Craigmont, road conditions
making it impossible for them K
make the run into Grangeville
The towns served by the stage
are: Culdesac, Winchester
Craigmont. Ferdinand, Cotton
wood and Grangeville.

This was Mr.. Turner's third visit

opinion that the third time was

southern country he enjoyed the

Lloyd says that hundreds of

Friends of the Turner'S will be

RADIO DEMONSTRATION
A BIG SUCCESS.
Cottonwood Garage Will Install
A Radio Machine At Once.

More than 200 people listened
to the radio demonstration given
at the Cottonwood Garage last
night when G. w. Wilson, Of
Spokane, demonstrated his ma
chine.
The demonstration was sue
cess in every way and the oper-
ator was in touch with the broad
casting stations of Minneapolis,
Chicago, Calgary, Portland, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City from these stations
he received varied program
consisting of grand opera, musi-
cal numbers and police officers
instructing their lieutenants in
traffic rules.
1t was the first time that a
radio has been in operation in
Cottonwood and also the first
time many have had an opport-
unity to listen to the instrument
taking the music out of the air.
One peculiar incident with the
radio outfit occurred yesterday
afternoon when the machine was
given a test it picked up a tele-
phone conversation between
William Hussman and a man at
the Hussman saw mill. Mr.. Hus-
sman was talking from his office
in Cottonwood to a man at his
saw mill near Keuterville.
The Cottonwood Garage have
placed an order for a machine
similar to the one used last
night and expect to have it in
operation within a few days.
To our knowledge the first
radio in Idaho county was in
stalled by the sons of Francis
Nuxoll of Greencreek about d
year ago.

IDAHO STATE HAS
TOO MANY COUNTIES.
In Massachusetts 275,000 People
Per County and in Idaho
9,400 People Per County.

Now that the legislature is
considering the biennial state
budget, it is not inappropriate to
call attention to one phase of
government expenditure that
ought not to be overlooked, says
the economic bulletin issued by
the University of Idaho. That
is the cost Of county govern
ment.
The entire state of Idaho has
about the same population as
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin,
which includes the city of Mil
waukee. Massachusetts, with
3,S50,000 people has ID counties
Idaho, with 414,000, has Al. The
total amount raised in 1919 for
county purposes alone, not in
cluding city OF village taxes Oh
special school or highway dis
trict assessments Of any descrip-
ton, reached the total of $685.
900. This was for a single year
On a biennial basis it represents
a total of $12,770,000, for strict.
ly county purposes alone.
In the same year, 1919, tht
counties of Idaho paid out fol
salaries and wages alone ST, ,342,
1856. Just by way of illustra
ton, the administration of fl
nance in Milwaukee county, thai
is the salaries and expenses o.
the county treasurer, auditor
and assessor, amounts annually
to $4,000. In the "a countie!
of Idaho this same item, borne
by the same number Of people
amounts to $362,000. This wa
very nearly as much as the stat,
legislature in its last session ap
propriated out Of taxation t,
run the state university for tw'
years.
It need not be inferred tha
we pay our county fiscal official
too much. A comparison of ou
salary schedule with that o
neighboring states would disar
prove that notion. Rather, W
have too many counties. "Wh
paw more ?"

COODINC BILL
FAILS TO PASS
SAYS HIS BILL DID NOT
RECEIVE SUPPORT
FROM FARMERS.

Among other bills which fail
ed with the adjournment of
congress were the several bills
fixing prices for agricultural
products or stabilizing prices or
regulating markets. Several
such bills were pending in the
house, and two were introduced
in the senate, one by Senator
Gooding and one by Senator
Norris.
None of these bills ever reach
ed the point of debate upon it's
passage, but Senator Gooding is
reported to have taken an un-
official poll of the senate to as
certain how the members stood
on the Gooding wheat bill, and
he is reported to have said that a
careful poll of the senate showed
a very large majority against it..
Advices disseminated locally
during the campaign for the en-
dorsement of the bill were to the
effect that it was assured OF
passage, but later investigation
by Senator Gooding seems to
have indicated clearly that the
assurance of the likelihood of
passage Of the bill were erron-
eOuS.
Senator Gooding is reported
to have said that the only relief
now available for the farmers is
to form lone big union" "1f
the farmers are going to get any
relief from congress, they must
get properly organized" Senator
Gooding said. "The trouble is
that they have too many or
ganizations. There are -four
national farmers organizations
in Washington that rarely ever
function together, and in my
fight for the stabilization of the
price of wheat | have had very
little if any support from any OF
them. The farmers greatest
need is one great parent organi-
zation, which ought to be re-
cognized and supported by al
the farmers organizations in the
country, for, after all, the inter.
est of all farmers is identical
No one branch can be prosperous
long while the others are in {
deplorable condition"
Senator Gooding evidently
failed to take into account tht
fact that the most representa-
tive organization of farmers il
the country, the farm bureau
did not support his bill.

AMPUTATE THUMB.

Steve Farthing, whose thumb
on his right hard was caught in
a sausage mill about four weeks
ago and badly smashed, had the
same amputated at the first
joint yesterday by DR.. Orr. The
injured thumb failed to properly
heal, due to an abcess having
formed on the bone. Since in
juring his hand Mr.. Farthing
has been unable to work. He

ton law.

LIMIT NOW $4,000.

Felix Martzen, secretary Of
the Cottonwood National Farm
Loan Association received word
yesterday from the Federal
Land Bank of Spokane advising
him that the loan limit that any
one member could borrow from
the government had been in
creased from $4,000 to $685.
600, and that the same took eff
feet, Monday of this week.
The new ruling will also effect
borrowers who have $4,000
loans at the present time and
wish the same increased.
The Cottonwood association
covers practically the entire
west side of the county and to
date this association, has loaned
many thousands of dollars tc
the farmers in this section.
The land bank at Spokane has
done the largest business of any
in the United States. indicating
the wide use for development
purposes made by the farmers oil
the northwest of the system
which will no doubt be furthe,
stimulated by the new change in
the law allowing of larger loans
Under the farm loan law, the
borrower pays 51a percent inter
est and one percent on the prin.
cipal yearly, giving him about
33 years for full payment if ht
prefers. The present yeal
promises to be one of great act
ivity in the work of the associa
ton.

HARD TIMES--WELL.

A surprising story Of the in
crease in automobile sales in the
state is told by a comparison of
statistics compiled by the auto
motive service bureau for 1922
and 1923.
Passenger cars sold in Janu-
ary, 1922, in Idaho numbered
LOG, while during the same
month of 1923 a gain of 213 is
revealed, 319 being sold.
Approximately 1852 brand
new cars furnished enjoyment to
the people of Idaho from way
down in the southern part Of the
state around Boise up to the
small northern towns bordering
British Columbia, for that was
the total number purchased dur
ing 1922. With the gain made
in January this year over sales
of the same month a year ago,
it is estimated that total sales
this year will greatly sulpass
those Of last year and dealers
are optimistic over the outlook
If the automobile business is in
any sense barometer Of busi-
ness conditions, it is felt, bust
ness generally will also show
distinct Improvement.
For the 1852 cars sold last
year, it is estimated that more
than S1,250,000 was paid out
for initial purchase price.
