VOTERS P0UNCE
ON FIVE MILLS

Proposal Gets Bare Ma
jority at Mass Meeting
Friday Night; Vote Is
liz to 1O8.

| Caldwell voters pounced all over the
proposal to increase the city general
tax levy from the 10 mills allowed by
statute to Is mills at a mass meeting
Friday evening where authority was
vested in the public to authorize such
an increase Requiring two thirds ma
jority, the city councils program
nosed through by the barest OF ma
jorities. III votes being recorded in
favor OF the FIVE mills additional levy
while i0s of the qualified voters pres
ent thought that ten mills was enough
for general city purposes. Last year
this levy was 2l.2 mills.
OF the go votes cast. l47 were re-
quircd to pass the motion. introduced
by DIR. J. w. Cue. which favored
granting the council the right to sup
plement the 10 mills provided by law
with five additional mills levied for
general purposes. Thus the motion
failed OF the two-thirds majority re-
quired by IS votes.
There was little debate on the sub
ject. Convening regularly as coun-

president of the council. in the chair.

questions were asked to establish the
| fact that even should the FIVE mill
levy requested be authorized, the gen
eral purpose city levy would neverthe-
less be 6.2 mills lower than last year.
Other queries brought forth the in
formation that il was not possible for
the city to conduct its affairs on a 10
mill levy and that. in the event ex-
pcnses exceeded income, deficiency
warrants might be issued and later
taken up with a special warrant re-
demption levy as required by the same
law which provides for 10 mill levy.

hall when the meeting was convened
shortly after s o'clock. Consequently

wish to vote and get away as quickly
as possible.
About the only fireworks provided

who~made a remarkable plea for the
farmer. asserting that he could not
pay his taxes and that to vote the FIVE
mills was nothing short of crime.
Merchants, he said, are not worried by
high taxes because they simply IN
crease prices of goods they sell to
make up the difference. Quite rail

Practically all of the few speakers
who dared the heat to exercise their
vocal chords were opposed to the fve
mill proposition. Upon motion OF J.

for. Ballots had been provided and
the actual balloting was quickly COM
pleted.

GEM POWER IS
ONLY QUESTION
Of EMERGENCY
Rest Assurance of Arrow
Rock Development Is
Sore Need of Relief,
French Says.

II the Gem district gets Arrowrock
mower through reclamation assistance
il will be because a grave emergency
faces farmers on that fertile tract.
Congressman Burton L. French told
Caldwell and Nampa business men at
luncheon rendered him here Friday
following his survey of the Gem dis
nict.
Two things stand in the way of i'm
mediate relief for the Gem, Mr.. French
said. The first is the fact that Idaho
has always obtained the lions share of
reclamation funds invested in the west
and that other states, jealous of this
alleged favoritism, want that money
expended elsewhere. The second is
the inevitably slow process which
must be gone through before this pro-
gram can be enacted into law.
That the opposition OF other states
to further large expenditures in Idaho |
is not warranted is the opinion of Mr.. |
French, who said that congress and
the reclamation service favors build
ing projects whose feasibility is great
est. regardless of where they may be
located 1t is folly, Mr.. French be-
lieves. to reclaim lands at a cost of
$50 per acre when other lands are
awaiting water which can be developed
at much smaller cost
Mr. French did not discuss the $l4.-
10000 oil royalty contribution made
to the reclamation fund last Wednes-
day except in the course OF conversa-
ton. He said, that it had long been
known that a surplus had been accu-
pulating but expressed surprise at the
amount

French said that this instrument OF }
business in government had saved the
nation a billion dollars already and
old of some of the work that had been
accomplished in the direction of econ

rom Alaska, Mr.. French talked of his

y We Stand for Pure Life 4

Il 4 x 4 K 4 K X X X
There has never been recorded in
history the story of perfectly
clean, pure life except the life Of
Jesus of Nazareth. He was sent by
his father to set an example to all
mankind. True, 1t would be impos-
sible for us to be as pure and sinless
as he, for he is the son of God. but
it is required of us to try to come
DIS near this ideal as we can.
He was scourged, tempted and f.
nally put to death by wicked men,
yet he kept himself free from sin.
1t is easy for us mortals to step
down, but it is very hard for us to
climb back, and we never reach the
place we might have gained had we
not stepped down.
1t would be sincere satisfaction
near the end of life to know we had
lived a pure, clean life, morally.
physically and intellectually. Our
church itself is an aid to a pure life.
Through strict adherence to the
gospel We might live an almost per-
feet life. The ribald story or un-
clean Jest has no place in the life
OF a church member, and these
things INDUCED in are hard to over
come and may become a habit.
The spirit of God never dwells in
an unclean tabernacle. nor can II |
penetrate tobacco smoke and liquor
fumes. There is altogether a diff
ferent feeling when associating with
person who has lived a pure life
and with one who has lived an i'm
pure life. II is danger to come in
contact with sin unnecessarily, for
'Sin is a monste orr such frightful
mien AS to be feared needs only to
be seen; but seen too oft, familiar
with its face, we first endure, then
pity, then embrace"
II Is hard for our friends to for
get our mistake. A group of young
people were once gathered at al
