THE FARM BUREAU MAY CLOSE

1t is said that in March there were
only fourteen counties in Idaho that
had not given up the Farm Bureau,
and now Bingham county is holding
up the matter for early decision.
Men who visited Boise during the
legislative session declared that there
was much hostility to the Farm Bu-
reau, and that what might be spok-
en- of as the farm bloc" members
were in favor of most things that
affected the farmer favorably, and
consequently were for the Farm Bu-
reau.
These latter men fathered meas
ures to reduce the interest and pen
alties on delinquent taxes, and got
the bills enacted into law. One of
them was made retroactive, that is,
affecting transactions already closed
for three years back, and test case
has been brought to see if it is con-
stitutional. The commissioners OF
Bingham county have looked over
the situation and found that if the
law remains as it is, it will prevent
their having money to appropriate
for the Farm Bureau and many other
things that have heretofore been
readily taken care of.
1t seems that the farmer legisla-
tors and their sympathizers must
have been short sighted in some of
their work, and did not foresee what
results would come In Bingham
county there has been a substantial
number in favor of the Farm Bureau
and quite as many opposed to it,
but those favoring it have been ag-
gressive and those opposed have
been Indifferent and passive. Each
side has claimed that it's views were
he correct views, and now it looks |
ike we shall have an enforced sus-
pension of the bureau for a while |
md it will afford an opportunity to |
Zach side to prove their points. The !
nen who claim that the progress
IAN be made among themselves indie
pendent of the Farm Bureau will
lave a good chance to show what
hey can do. The unfortunate part
If it is that when the bureau is
losed, its books and records packed
md stored and its workers allowed
o engage in other pursuits, it takes
long time to reorganize and get
o operating again with present eff
ectiveness.

BACK FROM VACATION

L. B. Dustin and wife and H. B.
Curtis and wife returned Tuesday
evening from a two months vaca-
ton on the coast. They went to
Southern California via Salt Lake
and the auto route, and drove all
over the Land of Sunshine on their
paved roads and saw everything and
everybody and had a good rest.
They Travelled in Hupn obile and
did not have any car troubles at all.
They report that the road to Salt
Lake via Malad is very good except
ing few hundred yards near the
Malad summit. A single snowbank
in the road keeps a wet
strip, and Mr.. Dustin said that
little work shoveling the drift out
Of the way would remedy most of
that trouble. The road via Logan
is said to be worse than it was ear
lier, and cars have to be helped thru
many places.

FINE RADIO ENTERTAINER

Kenneth Jones has been studying
radio diligently for some months and
has constructed an outfit and in
stalled it in the kitchen at the e. ].
Jones home.
He gives some very fine entertain
ments to his friends, giving them
the various talks, lectures and mu-
steal programs flung into the air at
the sending stations between the
Mississippi River and the Pacific
coast. A song, violin, speaker
at Minneapolis, is heard simultan-
eously in Blackfoot, Minneapolis and
Los Angeles, and at the turn of a
dial, he can pick up the entertain
ment at Los Angeles and at the same
instant cut off the one at Mime
apolis. 1t is matter of wave
lengths that cuts off one and puts
the other on.

ELECTION ON MAY IL

81 Pocatello, Idaho, April 10.-The
fact that the directors of the Ameri-
3 can Falls reservoir district author
lied a vote on an issue of $2,700,000
of bonds on May 18th does not mean
that amount will be actually sold,
according to statement by Guy
Flenner, managing director of the
Idaho Reclamation association, which
carried on the long campaign to or
ganize the district and which is ex-
erting it's influence and lending it's
services to put over the bond issue.
'"The first reservoir unit will I'M
doubtedly be 100000 acre feet, I"
said this statement, ''but at this
time the contracting parties, includ-
ing the big district and the U. S.
government, have signed up for only
100000 acre-feet. Others to come
in, including, we expect, the Black
foot system, the Snake river valley
irrigation district, the Greater Fort
Hall, including the Bancroft or En-
pire district, will bring the total up
to the larger unit. This will re-
duce the acre-foot charge, and the
amount of bonds to be actually sold
for the big district will be proper
tiOnately reduced,
cit was necessary legally to state
in the contract with the U. S. gov
eminent only the amount of storage
actually signed up at this time and
to harmonic the amount of bonds
set up in the call for election with
that total of storage.
Situation at American Falls
cit is planned to secure options
on the balance of property at Amer
lean Falls, which will be submerged
if the dam is built. AS the big end
of the cost is represented by the
amount to be spent for the town
property, for removal of the build
ings and the railroad tracks, &C
QUESTION of power rights and of the |
$4,000 acres of land for reservoir |
site, or floor, it is necessary to Sc
cure the same at the lowest possible |
figure and to know in advance the
total cost. The directors of the big
district have employed two of their
number, w. E. Spence and H. X.
Wiley, to work on these matters, the
former as to town property and the
latter on reservoir site lands. 1t
will require a month or more to
clean up that job.
'The people of American Falls
are cooperating Loyalty in this
work and it is not believed any
proceedings will be
necessary unless with respect to
owned by outsiders. Such
COMBINATIONS as have already been
prosecuted have resulted in jury val
ues lower than the government offer
ings, expense of litigation consid-
cred"
