~. r. u. EXTENSION SERVICE

Leading farmers of Idaho would
not be without the university extern
sion service, is the belief expressed
by j. w. Littooy in letter to Gov
ernor C. G. Moore Friday, published
in The Statesman. Mr.. Littooy rose
to the defense of the extension SER
vice because of letter recently writ
tn to the governor by c. l.. Mccarthy
Qposing proposed increases in salary
TOR the service workers.
Salaries of these people are very
meager when their service performed
Is considered" he writes. The great
trouble is that, too often, our special
lists are enticed away from us be-
cause of better pay offered elsewhere
They should be worth as much to
Idaho in their present positions, if
not more SO, than to others in the
new field of work.
q can appreciate with Mr.. McCar-
thy that taxes should be as low as
feasibIy consistent with needed re-
Quirements but Mr.. McCarthy's objec-
1Oa to slight increase in salary to
few of the specialists, if such in
crease has been deemed advisable by
the education board and which | hope
viii obtain, is an objection to which
L, Tor one, cannot agree, for it is mi
tlating a reduction in taxes on the
wrong end of the line

paid out by the taxpayer each year

able to the farmer that every tax

Two-thirds of the boys reared in
London enter casual trades as I'M
skilled labor and shopmen, and only
13 per cent of them enter the skilled

These figures, which have been pre-
pared in the interests of a campaign to
furnish greater technical education for

in unskilled and lower in skilled trades
than any other large city in western

This is the result of insufficient

hut n well and since the operator
waa not obligated to drill more than
one well that, therefore. the work
that had been performed upon the
land was only intended to benefit the
one claim, instead of the IL claims
embraced in the lease.
The placer mining claimants have
filed a petition to review this con-
struction on the grounds that II is
erroneous; that the operating agree.
ment conforms to usual and custom
airy contracts existing throughout the
west ana is a binding obligation on
the part of the operator to drill the
first well and IL oil or gas is discover
ed to continue with the work until
the entire tract is fully developed.
The Gebo structure is wildcat acre
age and no oil or gas has ever been
discovered thereon. The camps that
have been constructed. together with
the roads. and water system are so
located as to be most useful in the
fun development of the entire prem
ises; if oil is discovered. said premises
may be quickly and economically de-
veloped; II no oil is discovered. no
further work viii be. required.
According to the construction
placed upon the operating agreement
by the secretary, the operator would
have been required to have made a
contract calling for the unconditional
drilling OF ~ wells. This would have
been a most unusual contract because
II the well first drilled should prove
a failure, the drilling of additional
wells would be ridiculous, while on
the other hand If the test well should
be a success. the operator is definite
ly obligated to continue. The oil and
gas business is very hazardous, but If
development should be undertaken in
the manner suggested by the score
tary's decision. 1t would soo become
prohibitive. Not many would be will
