TEACH THE CONSTITUTION IN

The club women Of the state of
Idaho have to their credit the passage
of bill during the last session Of the
legislature which requires all schools

United States and the state of Idaho.
also the elements of good citizenship
and devotion to American institutions
and ideals. This law is in line with
that advocated by the American Bar
association. There was perhaps
never a time when the necessity for
such instruction was more apparent
than it is today. The country is be-
ing deluged with propaganda of vari-
GUS forms, most of it designed to
bring about radical changes in our
system of government and all of it
opposed to those principles upon
which our country has grown great.

MEANING OF BLOC CONTROL.
washington Post)

Senator Brookharts bloc program
labeled for the common people, raises
question of class at the outset. He
proposes to form a farmer labor, vet
eran mother group that would DOM
mate the government and dictate its
action and is a challenge which, to
the extent that it is to be taken seri-
ously, should be accepted by the ma
ton at large as a call to the colors or
representative government. The four
elements which the Iowa senator
would organize in bloc are large and
powerful classes. But they do not
constitute the whole nation or repre-
were organized, the counter move
would be organization of other ele-
ments to oppose it. The result would
depend on the relative strength of
the two groups and would spell class 1
ism in large letters. Being represen-
tative of all the people and of all in
terests, the American government
could not function properly if it were
subjected to bloc control-fOr that /
would convert it into an agency rep !

who view it as offering

UNION DUES TAX EXEMPT.
brooklyn Eagle)

NDIOOhign EdBlCJ
We suppose the internal revenue
collector for the Manhattan district
correctly summarizes the views OF
the treasury department in this ex-
PLANTATION, interesting alike to union
and non-union laborers:
Members of labor union may de-
duct as a business expense dues paid
to such organizations during the year
1922. Such dues are held by the bur
eau to be necessary expenses incident
to the earning of their wages"
Are they necessary expenses? Is a
union card essential to earning liv-
ing in the United States? Surely the
question is debatable. Non-union men
in most of the trades do live, in one
way or another. Their equal right to
live and work has been sustained by
the supreme court of the United
States and so far as we know, by
every court, state or national that
has passed on the quetsion.
The non-union man pays an income
on his whole earnings. The union
man is exempt on the part of his wage
that he uses through an organization
to keep the non-union man from
Is this discrimination or is
it not? Some questions are a lot
easier for the philosopher to ask than
for the politicians to answer.

MRS. HARDING AND HER OWN
FLOWER GARDEN.

There is a wholesome simplicity
about the White House under the
Harding administration that seems to
bring that famous home of the pres
idents in closer touch with the peo-
pie. Possibly it is Mrs. Harding
more than the president who is re-
sponsible for the home atmosphere
the absence of pomp and ceremony
An incident occurred the other day
that gives quite an interesting in
sight to the attitude of the first lady
of the land and her desire to make
the White House a real American
home. The incident is told in the
following paragraph by the Washing
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger:
There is to be a real old-fash-
toned garden in the White House
grounds this year. Workmen are
busy now laying out a small plot
in the south lawn, which is to be
the special delight of Mrs. Hard
ing The wife of the president is
a great lover of flowers, but she
has always regretted the formal
ity of the White House beds and
wanted something that had a
more home-like touch. It will be
full of such things as forget-me-
nots, asters. snapdragon, fox
gloves and hyacinths. Two small
er beds of hollyhocks and lilies of
the valley of which Mrs. Hard
ing is especially fond, will be ar
ranged on each side of the old
fashioned garden proper"

Mew Gods

martha Haskell Clark in Scribner's)
Youth will be served; the gods we
reared
In faith upon our altar-stone
Now keep their vigil unrevered
In dusty corners, all unknown.
New idols rise at new demands
Above our crumbling overthrow,
They pick and choose with ruthless
hands
AS we did. in the long ago.
Youth will be served; we live to see
Our dearest deeds another's boast,
A butt for laughtered ribaldry
The dreams for which we suffered
most.
They see no print of bleeding feet,
The heights we won on footsteps slow
They mount unwilling of defeat
AS we did in the long ago.
Youth must be served; one harvest's
gain
The seed from which new harvest
springs,
The fuller yield of golden grain
From our forgotten borrowings.
Their hands shall turn fresh furrow-
soil,
The bread we eat, they too shall
know,
May they find gods to sweeten toll
AS we did. in the long ago

THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY.
(New York Herald)

The first returns on the 1922 in

ury department is led to think that
the receipts for the year may exceed
even those of 1921. In most states the
checks have come in fatter by mil
lions than the collectors received in
March of last year.
All this is bad news for the prophets
of gloom. They declared. when con-
gress eliminated the excess profits

They had the same opinion when the
surtax was removed from incomes I'M
der $4,000. And now. to the destruc-
tion of their forecasts, the stream of
revenue comes in apparently wider
and deeper than ever before
Perhaps the withdrawal of the ex-
cess profit tax had something to do
with the increase in revenue. That
was a tax on business ambition. Once

More business means more employees

TO turn up" Following the close Of
the war and up TO the middle of last
year conditions were unfavorable for
mining development by assessment.
Metal prices were low while mining
costs were excessively high. Since
that time conditions have radically
changed. and if development compan-
les ever expect to become active, they
can hardly hope for conditions more
favorable than prevail today. In fact,
the Occur d'Alene district now pre-
5ents the most inviting field in the

SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO lNVEs-

The special committee created il
the closing hours of the senate to in

uation with the view to securing
wider use of the metal as money and
to stabilizing the price at a figure
that will insure a fair profit to The
producer will doubtless be delayed to
some extent in taking up it's work on
account of the death of Senator
Nicholson, of Colorado, who was the
chairman of the committee Other
members of the committee are Sena-
tor Gooding of Idaho; Senator Walsh,
of Montana, and Senators eddie and
pittman, of Nevada. These senators
represent three of the important sill
reproducing states, and their work
will include an exhaustive study of
the cost of producing silver the ne
cessity for maintaining a price that
will encourage production, and the
possibility Of reaching an agreement
with other nations that will stabilize
the price The silver people are not
asking the government to arbitrarily
fix IT, price of the metal, nor are they
looking forward to the establishment
0l a double monetary standard with
the value of silver at fixed ratio with
gold They do contend that silver is
a highly desirable money metal and /
that its wider use, particularly by the
countries of Europe. would have
influence in solving the
financial difficulties of Europe and in
restoring normal commercial condi-
tions.
According to the director of the
mint purchases of silver at 81 per
ounce under the terms of the Pitt
man act will be completed about the
first of July. This is considerably in
advance of the time contemplated by

within three months the domestic

for mining in the Occur d'Alene dis

1886 MOTHERS And
CHILDREN TO ENJOY
SEASIDE VACATION

The local Salvation Army corps is
now completing plans for a 10 days
outing for 125 mothers and children of
this city and vicinity. This will be one
of the finest things ever undertaken in
this city and will give large number
of worthy mothers and children a
chance for a 10 days vacation by the
salt water.
The Salvation Army has recently
been decided a fine property at Christ
mas Cove and this place is to be util-
lied for the outing. At different times
the groups of mothers and children
from different places will be taken to
the camp, and then 10 days from July
IS to July % have been assigned to
the Augusta people. No child under
the age of five years will be taken
without it's mother and no boy over IL
or girl over 13 will be taken.
Arrangements are being made for an
Augusta organization to transport the
mothers and children to Christmas
Cove by auto and then bring them to
this city at the end of the vacation.
The local Salvation Army corps is now
busy investigating various applicants
for this vacation so that only worthy
ones may be selected.
