Profit from Others

Ptople clarorc6 for legislation that
worid prevent high taxes. They got
il. And in Nampa Wednesday even
ing. mere handful turned out to de-
tc-m;ne whether or not the city should
vote an extra FIVE mill levy above the
ten mills authorized by law for general
city expenses. OF the 81 who voted,
IL opposed the added levy and it
failed lacking the necessary two
thirds.
OF course Nampa cannot conduct
its government on ten mill levy. And
OF course the 81 persons who presum-
ably represented the sentiment OF the
city could not hope to do so.
jus. what Nampa will do is prob
lcmatical Perhaps technicaIitics may
be invoked to permit another meeting.
another consideration of this question.
Otherwise Nampa must get along
without added street improvements
for two years, probably will have to
dispense with several departments en-
tircly. cut fire protection to the bone
and then see itself run daily into debt
Caldwell faces similar proposition.
Even the added five mills will not
raise enough money to meet the needs
OF the city and will be far, far short
of the amount ordinarily expended.
Let us right now consider this matter
prepare to act intelligently
and then decline to make the mistake
that Nampa made.

The generous response OF Caldwell
business men TO the Fourth OF July
fund not only insures the most notable
celebration that Caldwell has staged
for many a year but shows clearly
enough that despite hard times the
city feels its responsibility to its ci,i-
zens and TO the community in general.
Caldwell offers only two affairs each
year. The first has become also ira
dition, the observance of Independence
Day. The second is the annual poul-
try show that promises to rival Cald-
wells fourth OF July celebration.
This year in particular Caldwell is
fortunate in that no other cities OF the
immediate territory are also putting on
a formal celebration. Adequate funds
insure Caldwell visitors this Fourth
the best parade, the best fireworks dis
PLAY that has ever been shown here
Caldwell will this year offer real
celebration. Money has been pro-
vided. thu fun will be here. All that is
rccdcd is a crowd And that, too. will
b. on the job.

A. F. B. Tariff Critics

The so-called Farm Bureau, which
has been circulating some purely ira-
aginary statistics with respect to the
tariff law. most OF them gathered be-
fore the law went into effect, declare;
that its investigations were conducted
without any relation to party poll
tics The statements given on, were
sponsored by the head of the Farm
Bureau, who is careful to call attention
in Who's Who to the fact that he is a
Democrat. A gentleman who thus Ia
bells himself is hardly liable TO oonduct
any investigation without relation 10

No real American needs to be told
to reverence and respect his flag. No
real American ever fails in showing re-
spcct to the Stars and Stripes.
But sometimes a real American may
fail in respectful treatment of his flag
from lack of knowledge that what he
does is not respectful There is occas-

Back to Earth

The city band occupies something
of the same position as do the schools
Every person. every municipality. is
proud of its band, believes it the best
and hesitates to lift the finger of criti-
cism against it. But in Caldwell a
rising tide or resentment finds verbal
expression everywhere and forecasts
a time when musicians. like everyone
else, must get back to earth.
There was a time when any band
took pride enough in its community to
get out, to parade. to play and to share
the community's affairs just as every
other person does. Perhaps the prac-
tice led to abuse. At any rate the
time has passed. Today the band, not
IN Caldwell alone. but everywhere,
holds itself apart. Men may labor from
dawn Until dark, neglect business, con-
tribute generously OF money that is
hard TO ge,, ard then as a reward find

else thinks OF pay. Service is gladly
rendered. But the bali members look

towns the size OF Caldwell will finally
get tired OF paying. For even band
is not indispensable.
