STATE LAND LEASES

BOISE, April 20.-Assistance tC
holders of state land leases and those
purchasing lands is seen in legisla-
ton enacted by the Seventeenth SEES
sion of the Idaho Legislature. This is
a part of Gvernor Moore's program
for doing everything within his power
to aid the producers of the state and
also carries out the pledges in the Re-
publican platform upon which the
Moore administration was eledted.
During the past three years the
State of Idaho has been going through
financial crisis, many holders Of
state leases being unable to meet the
Bill No. So, by the Committee on Pub
lie lands was passed for the purpose
of assisting them in meeting their OBJ
| legations.
| In this bill the State Board Of Land
Commissioners it given authority, in
it's discretion, to extend the time Of
payments of lease rentals due for the
years 1923 and 1924 to November list,
of the respective year, making the
payments due in the fall of the year
after the harvesting of. crops, rather
than January LIST, before any returns
are received for the lands.
Senate Bill No. So, by the Commit
tee on Public Lands, is also relief
measure, which will be greatly ap-
preciated by many purchasers Of state
lands. During the financial depres-
sion of the past few years, it has been
very difficult for many holders OF
Certificates of Sale to meet the pay
ments due the State, the State Board
of Land Commissioners having done
everything in their power to relieve
the situation. By virtue of Bill No.
SO, holders of State Sale Certificates
payments during the past two or
three years will have the privilege of
entering into a supplemental agree |
ment, by which all payments of prin-
cipal and interest due the State on |
Certificates of Sale, to and including |
January /, 1923, may be added to the |
original purchase price named in the |
Sale Certificate, said amount being
considered the same as principal or
purchase price, and deferred beyond |
the end of the present term of the
Sale Certificate number of years
equal to the period of the delinquen-
cy, but not to exceed three years.
Senate Bill No. 81, by the Commit
zee on Public Lands, is measure en-
acted with view CT protecting the
and the small owner of l;
livestock against the monopoly of the ID
anger interests and transient graze:s. II
This bill gives the State Land Com
missioner discretionary power to give Y
preference right to old lessees; those
having expiring leases, or owning
ands adjacent to or in close vicinity
# said state lands, providing that in
he case of a grazer lease the lessee
hall own stock Of his own to Craze
pom the leased land.

Of trade. It indicates trustworthiness
and responsibility. It measures the
vast confidence which millions Of 'citi-
Gems repose in institutions that can
be trusted.
It Is well, occasionally, to ask our
selves what life implies, what our per-
sonal and corporate life implies. 1t Is
wholesome, at such a time as this in
human affairs, when the world hears
many expressions of lack of conf
dsnce, when distrust and sorrow are
speaking loudly in economic, social
and political life, to rem ember that
there are some men and some institu-
tons that are and can be trusted.
The note Of trust cannot be too loudly
sounded in tho entire world today.
America is the worlds Trust Com
pany at present. She is the worlds
largest creditor, and that imposes an
outstanding responsibility. Our cred.
itor position is still new to US, but
after several years Of It we are able
to perceive that having changed from
a great international debtor to the
greatest international creditor calls
for something more than complacent
reliance on our new position.
What Is most needed at this mo-
ment is a general conviction. such as
tho individual banker must always
keep in mind in his dealings as cred
itor, that it is a creditors duty to
keep his credit sound, to keep his
debtors solvent, to help maintain bus
mess as "a going concern"
Europe is of value to US only as
Europe is q going concern. The only
way Europe's debt can be hQuidated
is through continuance in business.
This involves political and social re-
Mobilization as well as economic. To
this rehabilitation 1T is AMERICAS duty
a. creditor to contribute.

With Novalux Units.
GUS illumination of the road, and have
been considered a factor in making
night travel safer wherever they have
been installed.
Where They Arc In Use
Early installations were made ON
the Paradise road, at Swampscott,
Mass, and in the village Of Colonie,
N. Y, on the highway between AL.
bany and Schenectady.
Detroit has installed them upon
many of the highways leading into
the city through the suburbs and the
surrounding country. The Lincoln
Highway Association has adopted
them for lighting the ideal section OF
the famous national turnpike, this Sec
ton now being built In Lake County
Indiana, and South American me-
tropolis, Santiago, capital Of Chile,
has placed an order for $50 Of the
units for lighting the suburban roads
approaching a park.
In Florida, a much-traveled pleas
ure highway, the causeway between
Miami and Miami Beach, is to be
lighted with a large number Of these
units.
Most interesting of any installations
yet made, however, Is the plan of the
town Of Amherst, N. Y. near Buffalo,
to light every mile Of roadway within
its limits with .Novalux highway units.
This will require between 1000 and
1 1900 of the units, and the work will
not be completed for year or two.
A total of 100 miles Of roadway will
be Illuminated. This will make Am
herst undoubtedly the best lighted
township in the United States. Two
hundred of the units are already be-
ing put in, along the main motor turn
pike that runs through the town, and
the rest will be supplied as called
for.

subscribed to guarantee fund of $40
After three years Of operation, dur
ing which time there has been oppor
tunity to give the plan thorough
test, the Exchange has been found to
be an actual and distinct help to
farmers, and, incidentally, to the
banks of farming communities.
How the Exchange Works
The idea is worked out as follows:
Any farmer in the state who has
any grade or pure-bred livestock for
sale, can step into the bank where he
does his banking business, and, on
blanks furnished to the bank, can list
what he has to offer, giving the num-
Der, age, color, records, price, ETC.
Any farmer, on the other hand, who
wishes to purchase horse or a COW,
or even carload of stock, can notify
his banker Of the kind and number
Of stock he wishes. These Hstings are
sent to a central Office, where the
prospective purchaser is put in touch
with the listings Of stock for sale that
come nearest to meeting his require
ments, and which are situated as close
as possible to his locality.
With the development Of the work
OF the Exchange, we found that there
was large number Of inquiries COM
ing In for carload lots Of improved
dairy cattle. In order to handle these
buyers efficiently, 1t was necessary to
secure reliable field men. This was
done by getting in touch with local
banks and having the banker recon-
mend reliable man who was a good
Judge Of stock, who was well acquaint-
cd with the farmers and commanded
their respect, and who was in a posi-
ton to meet buyers with his automo-
bile and take them from farm to farm,
show them the stock that was for
sale, and, when found satisfactory by
the buyer, help In assembling, testing
and shipping.
Tho Services Of Field Men
These field men are expected to |
keep posted on the livestock for sale |
In their respective communities. They |
are to steer the buyers away from
herds that are known to be affected

for 1922 is about four times that Of
1910, namely 5000 against $3.50.
Schedule ID" shows total Co. Of

1921. and 1922. Due to ths fact that
previous to 1920 the cost OF police
department lost its identity in "sala-
ries and fees" disbursements Of Jul
city, we have thought it not expedi-
ent to unravel the cost back Of the
above mentioned period. Note should
be made, however, that the cost Of
the department increased 62.4 per
cent in the WI years from 1920 to
1922.

record of the police ordinances from

Following a careful study OF all
the facts herewith mentioned, your
committee is OF the unanimous
opinion that a reduction In n per-
sonnet Of the police department to
a chief, six policemen and two jan
itors or jailors is Immediately az
usable. BY means Of this resolu-
ton the annual saving to the city
will be $500, and we would ret

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE 400
900 Boy Scouts in America are be-
ginning the celebration of their four
teenth birthday, this week, with the
addition of another 100000 to their
membership.
This is the elimination Of an In
tensiye anniversary roundup.
which started last November and
had the object of raising the mem
bership of this famous boys organ
ization to the half million mark.
Thirteen years ago, the Boy Scouts
OF America was merely an idea In
the minds of men who are still its
guiding spirits. It followed the
formation of a similar organization
in England, in 1908, by Sir Robert
S. S. Baden-Powell.
In the United States at this time
there were two boys organizations.
One, founded by Ernest Thompson
seton. was called Woodcraft Indians.
The other, called the Sons of Daniel
Boone, was led by Dan c. Beard.
These two organizations were COM
bined and, February 8, 1910, were
chartered as the Boy Scouts OIL
America. Since then, the Boy
scouts have had some 100000 boys
in it's membership, and at the begin
ming of this year had a standing
membership of 400,601. This week,
the leaders Of the movement hope to
count half a million boy scouts.
At the head OF the organization to-
day are men like Colin H. Living
stone of Washington, D. c., the only
president the organization ever had;
James e. West. chief scout executive
since January L. 1911: Mortimer L.
Schiff, New York banker. vice presi-
dent of the national council of the
Boy Scouts of America; George D..
Pratt of New York, treasurer;
Clarence H. Howard of st. Louis,
and Walter W. Head OF Omaha, vice
president Of the National Bankers
Association.
Although 1t is IS years old. the
Bow Scout movement Is still in its
infancy, say its officials. They point
to the fact that there are some 81
900, 900 boys of scouting age in this
country and only half a million in
the movement.
The aim of the Boy Scout move
ment is generally to supplement the
various existing educational organi-

Recommend Reduction
I'm o AmbOy Police
To Chief and Six Men

SOUTH AMBOY, Feb. THE re-
port Of the mayors committee on
police which have for the past
morth been engaged in much pre-
llmlnary work. was presented to the
council last night. Mayor Chase IN
his letter to the council, srated that
in view Of u unprecedented tax
rate and unbearable burden on the
part of the majority of our people.
Il appointed committees to devise
as far as practical a means Of pre-
venting the tax rate soaring higher
and with a faint hope of reducing
the burden"
The mayor went on to state that
the report of the committee on in
v~estigation of the police department
was SO comprehensive that it need
ed no comment from him. He sug-
gestef that the recommendations Of
the committee be compiled with by
an ordinance drawn up by the city
solicitor and ADOPTED by the coun-
Gil.
"I do not deem it a hardship to
the last four men named on the Do
lice force there being such demand
for men in other work where they
should be able to secur positio- &
at higher rates Of pay and T believe
that u j~anitors are eminentiy
competent to adequately attend to
any necessary telegraphing and
other work in the city hall" said
the mayor in reference to the cur
tailment of the present force OF
men meaning that four Officers
would be laid off If the recommer-
datfons of the committee were adj
hered to-"
The report is as follows:
Complying with your request OF
January s that this committee con-
slider the South Amboy police depart
ment in all of its aspects and report
to you how. and to what extent the
operating expenses Of that depart
ment can be reduced. we herewith
append our report and make such
recommendations as, we believe, will
be along the line of retrenchment &C

urgently needed in the operating cost
Of u city.
Inasmuch as practically the entire
cost of the police department is rep
resented by salary cost there an
pears to your committee but two
plans to reduce the cost Of operating
the department. First, by a reason
able reduction in the size Of T. e
force and second, by reducing the
salaries paid. Your committee is not
favorable to a reduction in the sala-
ries at this time, but we 90 recon-
mend that the first plan be adopted,
namely, a reduction in the number
of men in the department.
We are guided to that conclusion
by the facts which we append here
with relative to population, assessed
valuations, local rate of taxation,
cost and size of police department,
of u neighboring cities compared
with those same figures of our own
city. When 1t is borne in mind that
the corporate limits of the city Of
South Amboy W. an area of ap-
proximately one and one-quarter
square miles. and that our neighber-
ing cities used in our comparative
analyses are both greater in area,
we see another eason why 1t should
be possible with due regard to pro-
lection of property and persons) to
make a reduction in the size of the
department.
By referring to Schedule "a" of
this report 1t is noted that the cost
of the police department in 1922 was
~$23,579.13 o. $50 per cent greater
than that OF South River.
Schedule "B" shows a 1922 cost
per inhabitaLt for police protection
in Keyport of one-thir6 of that of
our city. While in South River the
same protection is furnished to the
taxpayers at 40 per cent Of the local
cost.
Schedule &c" shows plainly why
we recommend a reduction in size of
the police department. A tax rate,
for local purposes alone, of $500 per
100000 of valuation in 1910 has
been pyramided to a rate of $500
in 1e22-over six times the rate of
