A man in Waukegan, Illi., started a
dollar on it's way with tag attached
1t was to travel two weeks and bring
back the story of its trip. The re-
sulting record shows that it was
spent twenty-nine times. Tobacco, 10
spendings; labor hire, 5; candy, 8;
meals, 3 mems furnishing, 2, and
one each for collar buttons, automo-,
bile accesoeies, washing powder,
tooth paste, garters, and shave.
The dollar neither went to church
nor to the movies. 1t probably how
ever, travelled the course of more
than fifty per cent Of the dollars
which leave the pocket of the average
man. 1t is noticeable, too, that it
didn't fall into the hands of any
housewife in its travels.
DISCUSS TAX REDUCTION
The North Idaho Chamber of Com

meeting today at Standpoint. f
Taxation furnished the theme for
discussion. Much attention was given
by those who prepared their ,ad-
dresses to propose plans to reduce
the tax burdens, and every address.

Twenty years ago, when highways
were almost unknown, Kootenai
county consisted of what is now
Boundary, Bonner, Benewah and
Kootenai, but the wave demanding
large representation in the legisla-
ture caused the county to be divided
into four parts. The result was that
four sets of county officials were
necessary; four buildings occupied
as courtheuses, four sets of legislat
ors and yet we wonder why our taxes
have increased. Two and even the
four counties could again be consoli-
dated without injury and one set
of county officials, instead Of four,
could do the work. This will not meet
with the approval of the taxpayers
because of the local pride. which
would be trampled upon by the coun-
ties losing their county seats.
Massachusetts, with many times
the population Of Idaho, has Ia coun-
ties; while Idaho has A; Idaho pays
81 ,409, ,057 in salaries for county Of
ficials.
There are numerous ways to re-
duce taxes, but none without working |
a hardship on someone.

PROTECTING AMERICA

REPRESENTATIVE
house immigration committee has in
troduced a bill providing methods b.
which "all socially inadequate aliens
contemplating emigration to the
United States shall be weeded ou
at the source" and fixing immigrant
quotas at per cent of the various
nationals in the United States IN
1890. 1t is that kind of restrictive
measure that has been sought for an
extended period by those concerned
with a better quality of immigration
says an exchange.
America has the right to say what
kind of persons and how many shall
become resident here. The preserva-
ton of the country's institutions and
of high type of citizenship demands
a selective immigration. There ought
to be room here for all who are fit
and ready to become genuine part
of the nation, and no room whatever
for any other type. 1t is the aim
of the Johnson bill to meet that con-
dition, first by closer check on the
individual before he is allowed to
start for America and by shifting
of quotas to favor. the peoples of
Northwestern Europe, who have fur
nished good immigration material in
the past.
Every time a new method is sug-
gested for bringing relief to the
wheat grower, the cards are gum
med up just. that much more. The
matter has been threshed out re-
peadedly from all angles, and it is
time now, if any results are to be
obtained, for an agreement to be
reached and for the wheat growers
and others interested, to get back
of one plan. Almost any thinking
man can offer some suggestion, and
when it is given publicity, it attracts
the attention and support of a GER
tain number of people, and detracts
from the support given some previ-
ously announced plan. AS result,
nothing is done, and the issue be-
comes more befogged each day.

MAKES A BAD IMPRESSION

MAKES A BAD IMPRESSION
When the chief governing body OF
the greatest government in the
world finds itself almost helpless to
organize and get down to business at
the appointed time it makes very
bad impression. Explanations on the
part of the legislators do not really
explain. A businesslike nation natur-
ally regards congress as business
institution, and wants action. MOST
members of congress seem to regard
that body primarily as a political
institution. The two viewpoints do
not coincide. Perhaps they cannot ev-
er really coincide, but they can sure
ly come nearer to that ideal than
they do today.-Tacoma Ledger.

They have several large buses sta
toned at different points of the city.
About every block or two, men and
women are handing out cards to these
trips to all passersby who will take
them. The cards are presented to the
man at the office or in charge of the
bus stationed nearest to you. They
take your name and address, then
tag you for free lunch, after which
y on are given a seat in the bus. All

as the home of Mrs. Hancock, the oil

Then, there was a mystery home,

When the spirit stirs them they are

glass bottoms to a depth of 80 feet
in the water. Exclamations of sur
prise and delight were heard on all
sides as the beautiful sea weeds were
seen, growing tall and erect and
swaying to and fro with the rush of
water, as our trees and plants sway
with the wind. Different colored
fish fitted in and out among the gar
dens, or rested quietly on the smooth
sand at the bottom. The children on
board were so enthusiastic over the
big fish and the little ones, and kept
so much noise with their cries of de-
light that the man, who explained
things to US had to request them to
keep quiet. The big blue fish, he said,
were blue sharks, but not the man
eating kind.
In these wonderful gardens are
more than thirty species of kelp or
sea weed. Iodyne and potash are
made from the long wavy kelp. The
little bulbs or air cells on the leaves
support the kelp in an upright posi-
ton. The sea cucumber, part animal
and part plant, is the lowest known
form Of animal life.
Presently a world-famous diver ap-
peared. We were told that three
large abalone shells would be thrown
down into the water, and that the
diver would go down and recover
them. The water was SO clear and
transparent we could see the shells
on the sand at depth of about 80
feet. The diver jumped from the
deck of the boat, and, holding his
breath all the time, dived to the bot
tom, picked up the shells and return
ed to the boat with them. Under the
water he looked like corpse.
AS we went farther out into the
deep, we could no longer see the SUBJ
marine gardens, and our interest next
conferred in the seals, sporting on the
rocks in the morning sunshine and
barking like dogs. We were told old
Ben, the pet seal, which used to come
up on the board walk and make
friends with the people eating from
their hands, had not been seen for
two years, and it was believed that he
was dead.
After We had been given a good
view of the seal rocks, the Empress
started back on the return trip, and
we had another view of the submarine
gardens.
Another interesting trip Miss
Thompson and took during our va
cation was on one of the free motor
bus trips given daily by real estate
firms. I had visited all the beach
towns and nearly every other point
of interest from the Mexican border
to San Francisco, motoring either
with my brother and his family or
with the families of my two uncles
in Santa Clara and San Joaquin
counties. Willie. was over in Yuma
Ariz., and his wife had been called to
Illinois by the illness of her sister, so
there were no motor trips available
save these ever free ones.
Real estate firms, instead of adver-
Using in the newspapers, spend that
money in giving free trips to the
tracts of land they want to sell. Most
Of these tracts are near the beach
towns or in some interesting locality
just opened up.
