POCATELLO REAL ES.
TATE MEN HERE

Monday noon the members OF the
Pocatello Real Estate Board enter
tanned the Blackfoot Real Estate Men
at luncheon at the Eccles Hotel. The
Pocatello party motored to Blackfoot
and at the business meeting w. R.
Faris presided and five minute ad-
dresses were given. In these talks
the advantages Of the real estate board
were explained to the guests, the
good that could be accomplished by
establishing such board and weed
ing out the incompetent in that field,
lessening the danger of misrepresen-
tation and aiding the purchaser when
this has occurred. The organized ef-
fort not only helps the community to
build up more quickly but aids the
individual real estate men, as they
operate a sort of exchange. 1t will
build up harmony among the agents,
quicken sales and also give the pur-
chaser, a wider field from which to
choose In places where this board
has been organized 1t has been found
that it works to eliminate the tricky
real estate men or aids them to be-
come honest, as certain rules must be
followed and the one who breaks them
Is crowded out, for the board Is 80
successful that those who do not work
with it are soon crowded out Of the
game. The board can more easily
clear up a title than an individual
working alone. The property for
sale is listed with one agent, and
copies of it are listed with the others,
as they are all working in harmony,
and it means advancement for the
community, the purchaser and the
real estate man. Following this the
local men responded with short adj
dresses in which they heartily en-
dorsed the principles of the organi-
cation. Those who were present at
the meeting were, w. ]. Leaker, j.
Robb Brady, c. e. Evans, H. ]. Fox,
E. H. Clarke, r. s. Turner, H. r.

Use to pay in gold at some future
time, and the more of that there is
put into circulation the less it is
worth, and it also depreciates the
value OF all that has been issued in
years gone by.
An example of what they are in
f1icting on future days is shown by
an incident of the effort to educate
in Russia. Tolstoy sought to es-
tablish a university in his time, and
donated land for the site, and got
some simple buildings erected as
plain as a construction camp in
America. When the Soviets were
getting into operation in 1918 they
appropriated 100000 roubles for
the erection of the main building
of the university. They put out a
call to all the architects of the land
of offer plans from which to choose
for this edifice, and when plans were
presented, all of them called for
elaborate buildings with some pro-
vision for stateliness and beauty.
Tolstoys daughter looked them over
and objected to them all, on account
of their lack of simplicity. Her
father was always in favor of nee
essities but never in favor of any
thing ornamental or unnecessary,
however fashionable or beautiful 1t
might be. She said that If they
were going to carry out her fathers
ideas they should not violate them
in the main part-the design of the
building that should stand as an en-
blem of it all.
The soviet powers agreed with
her, and while all this was in pro-
cess, the roubles went down so
rapidly in value that nothing could
be done with 100000 paper
roubles, and they. decided to open
school in the old implanted shacks,
and as there were some broken win
dows, new panes were ordered to
be put in. AS they cost at that time
100000 roubles apiece, there was
only enough money to replace two
panes, so the visions of the new edi-
flee vanished. By the repairs made
in the old shack the Russian people
are bound to at some future date
to pay in gold the price of the fine
edif1ce for the two panes Of glass
for shack.

do some advertising in The Idaho
Republican is at hand, but l find no
order for advertising that is to be
paid for by anybody. Your assump-
ton that we shall interview post
masters and others and rush around
to write articles and give free space
in our paper to tell our readers how
they can invest in something that
does not pay them decent return
is a false alarm. Our locality has
already been too much hurt by OPP
erations that drain money out OF
Idaho at time when we need to
operate to bring money in. If
should give any editorial comment
on the matter it would be along the
same lines that / would employ if
were discussing the mail order ques-
toni should advise that it was a
damage to our country. We have
plenty of good banks where money
can be deposited and make it avail
able for loans Immediately among
our neighbors.
Your asking newspapers to dis
tribute the little brown folders is a
surprise to me. Why don't you ask
the hardware man to distribute
them or the lawyer or the doctor
or the school teachers. None Of
them have more to do than the pub
Usher or less stamps to put them
thru the mail with. You might
make an offer of franks for that use,
the same as you use to get this re-
quest for free advertising to me. IT
you want any advertising in my pa
r 81 - hut 1hnI
reserve the privilege of saying edi-
torially in the same issue that the
government is wrong in pushing this
plan the same as it has been and is
yet wrong in doing a lot of other
things presumably to help the people
and especially to help the farmers,
but which in practice only help to
sink their ship
The money that is invested in
these treasury certificates goes out
of Blackfoot to Boise, Idaho, then
to Salt Lake or Washington or San
Francisco, and if we get any of it
back again we have to pay for it.
We are a neighborly lot of folks here
who would rather deposit the money
in the banks without cent Of in
terest, for them to loan out among
our neighbors than to loan it to the
government for so nearly nothing
and have it go entirely out of the
country and possibly get some of it
back thru miles of red tape and on
payment of interest. If your plan
has any merit aside from the mat
ter of having the money kept where
it will be secure" l shall be obliged
to you if you will use another frank
ed envenope to send me an explain
alton of just where the merit lies.
Respectfully,
BYRD TREGO.
small advertisement was auth
orized by the department, and after
Mr. Hardee read the letter the pub
Usher received telegram cancelling
the order for the insertion of the
rest of the advertising, and divert
ing it to paper whose. editor ex
pressed no opinions.
Thus does the government uphold
free expression of opinions by sit
ting down on those who point out
the defects and plumbers in what the
government is doing.

STILL MAKING
HARD TIMES

The treasury of the United States
is being made the boarding place
these days for lot of the peoples
money thru investment in postal
savings certificates, and the money
so invested pays three percent or
four percent according to what terms
they invest it on. 1t drains the
money out of the country and ties 1t
up more or less permanently in the
larger cities.
A short time ago Blackfoot
editor received a circular letter from
a high official in the Federal Re
serve Bank asking for free publicity
in his paper to advertise the sale
of these certificates. Evidently the
editor was loaded" for that plan
of drawing money out of his local
ity, for he went back" at that
official with the following letter
which explains itself:

RUSSIAN EDUCATION

A good many people are paying
off debts now, that they contracted
in boom days, and it pinches pretty
hard, but nothing that we are doing

some of the things that are in pro-

and Russia they are trying to over
come hard times by operating bat
teries of printing presses turning
out wildcat money, which is prom
