NEW YORK, May S0.-The de-

Municipal bond dealers, who have
been dissatisfied with the number

complaint this week, during which
approximately $40,000.000 in new
municipal and State bonds are to be
awarded. The largest issue is that

Completion Of the details for the
Austrian loan, and the general as
surance of its success, has provided
stimulus for the listed foreign
government bonds, both in New

prices now prevail in the active

have been the leaders in this group

1t is believed that the bulk Of the
financing of industrial concerns for

therefore new loans will be for the
account Of the railroads, public util-

DRY GOODS MEN
FIND OUTLOOK
GOOD
Present Dizziness Of Market
Causes Little Worry Because
Cotton Was Bought Low.
By Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, May S0.-Despite
some dullness in the wholesale dry
goods markets, and especially in the
primary markets, dealers are not
worrying, statement issued today
by the National Wholesale Dry
Goods Association said.
The stocks of cotton goods, under.
wear, hosiery and other goods on
the shelves of perhaps a majority OF
dealers are priced on a basis of cot
ton at less than the market price at
present.
"It has been calculated that, Of all
the goods in the market, brown
sheetings and other goods Of similar
character have followed the advance
in raw cotton most quickly, and
therefore were priced on q basis of
81 or 90 cents, but that other goods,
such as ginghams, outings and mer-
chandise of this kind are said to
have been priced on a basis Of cot
ton under 25 cents, as were under
wear, hosiery and similar lines" the
statement said.
Much optimism is seen through
out the trade and there are very few
who take an adverse view Of condi-
tons. Those who have compared
conditions to 1920 quickly admit that
this is not fair, because prices today
are little more than half of what
they were in 1920, and that, not only
is labor well employed throughout
the country, but there is a. substan-
tial shortage. This is particularly
true of factory goods produced by
wholesale dry goods houses and is
causing contemplated erection of
new factories in small towns
near wholesale distributing centers.
Wholesalers feel considerable confi'
dence in their inventories. little hav-
ing been bought at the recent peak
prices. Up to the present time re-
placement of inventories at the
prices contracted in the last few
months of 1922 would have been diff
ficult."

Smith was fifty-two years old and
canle to the Capital from Washing
toH Court House, Ohio. For years
y successful banker. he had retired
from active business pursuits sew
eral years ago, and lived upon a
more than comfortable income.
When Daugherty accepted the Cabi-
net post he occupies, Smith came to
Washington. While holding no Of
fetal position in the Government,
he is said to have been invaluable
to Daugherty in consultation and
assistance. He had been intimate
with President Harding long before
taking up his residence here.
Neither financial nor marital trou.
bles played any part in the tragic
termination of the life of Daugh-
erty's "chum." His fortune was
beyond the possibility of damage by
market fluctuations. He had been
married, but was divorced several
years ago and leaves no children.

strangely mixed appearance of ordi-
nary life and grim tragedy this
morning, thronged by police and
perturbed friends, a still form in a
bloody sheet in one corner of Smiths
bedroom, and smiling out from the
wall pictures of the dead man taken
wit Daugherty, President Harding
and other notables. There were
golf bags galore, several closets
filled with finely-tailored clothing,
tasteful wall decorations, handsome
furnishings, to contrast with the
tragic disorder of the death chamber.

A BUYERS STRIKE

The Idaho Automotive Trades as
ISOLATION has given out the follow
ing statement relatives to car pur-
chases:
"a persistent effort is being made
and has been made, for some time,
to discourage the purchase of auto
mobiles, altho those who engage in it
are car owners and insist upon hav-
ing the latest models. Their attitude
is that the general public should buy
less cars, perhaps in order that they
may buy more of the DIRECTORS
goods.
"The auto has become a fixture in
this country. 1t is as much a neces-
sity as any other element entering
into the activities of go-ahead peo-
pie. 1t has increased the efficiency
of every class and has immensely
added to the pleasure and the health
of every owner and his family.
ITO argue against the purchase of
autos merely because they are autos
is to argue against the purchase Of
furniture, Of carpets and draperies,
of books and newspapers and
pictures. 1t is to argue for iauch
less purchasing of clothing and
groceries and meats, for less of the
products Of the farm and orchard.
When the public is taught to quit
buying or to severely curtail pur-
chases-look out.
when we start the Don't Buy"
movement we have put the skids

Low RATE ON SEED POTATOES

Half rates on seed potatoes ship
per from the Twin Falls country and
the territory north Of Pocatello. to
all Idaho points, effective January 1,
were announced Monday by Joel
Priest, general agent of the Oregon
Short Line. The Short Line is do
ing this, Mr.. Priest said, because the
seed potatoes raised in those sections
will produce crops SO per cent
heavier than seeds grown in other
localities.
Special rates will end with the
close of business April 1, These rates
will apply only to shipments within
Idaho on the Union Pacific system.
Seed potatoes grown near Twin
Falls and Pocatello are dug later be-
cause of the cooler climate, Mr..
Priest asserted, and for the same
reason lose less of their vitality. Ex-
perts say that potatoes kept almost
at the freezing point hold their
vitality best.

/ TWO-HUNDRED-CENT DOLLAR

A man came into The Republican
office and smiled and said, would
it be all right for me to pay q dollar
on subscription when 1 owe good
deal more than that?"
And the answer was, why we'd
be pleased to pieces. A dollar looks
as big as car wheel to US. For a
long time the dollar has been looking
as big as the moon and about as far
away, but they are looking closer
now. They come along now about
as often as the solid disc wheels on
automobiles, and they may come into
common use. We feel warm and
friendly toward the family that re-
members us with a dollar on sub
scription out of the first fruits of the
harvest A dollar paid under such
circumstances really has about two
dollar value because it gives us the
use of a dollar when 1t is badly
needed, and it builds up about dol
lars worth of confidence" tt.

and under every community-and, 1t
must be remembered that the auto
industry in Idaho has a payroll of
100000 year. Economical,
common-sense buying is, of course,
another matter which must be left
to the judgment of each individual.
In every community there is a small
percentage that will listen to no ad-
vice. To attempt to correct them is
a waste of time, and yet the Don't

sensible majority.

pleasures of the public on the argu-
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1923-11-08

ment that farmers should not buy
cars.
IF there is any class needing cars
it is the farming class-not only as
matter of business, but in order to
afford means of social intercom-
munication otherwise impossible for
the farmer and his family. Some
farmers may buy more expensive
cars than they can afford, but why
attempt to deprive all, and reduce
their operating advantages and mini
mize their recreational opportunities
in fruitless attempt to correct the
practices of the few who are unwise.
Any investigation will show that the
farmers, as rule, have bought the
cheapest cars that will answer their
purposes"
