AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

A special meeting of the Ameri-
can Legion was called last Monday
evening, for the purpose of making
arrangements for an Armistice Day
program, November IL. Owing 10
the vast amount of labor and effort
required to stage parade, and the
usual lack of local interest shown in
such an affair, it was decided to omit
this feature, and hold appropriate
services for the occasion. A good
speaker will be procured, and a good
time provided. The great pictorial
drama, 'The Whipping Bcs7." will
be shown throughout the day and
evening, and afterward, big o,ree.
Full details are not as yet worked
out, but will be published later. Pla-
to spend Armistice Day in Payette.
Payette people will rejoice at the
good fortune of Joseph D. Caylor, a
former resident of this city. Mr..
Caylor was an ex-service man and
one of the victims of the terrible flu.
which left him in a run down condi-
tion, bordering on tuberculosis. The
government is anxious to help all
such cases, where actual proof is
furnished, but this requires a lot of
effort and much red tape. But re-
Gently, through the combined efforts
of the local Legion and the Idaho
State Department, belated compensa-
ton has been secured for Mr.. Cay
lor to the amount of approximately
$500, together with full allowance
OF $50 per month, as long as this
manently cured. In the future, cases
OF this nature will not be so difficult.
as the passage of the Reed-J ohnson
Dill, provides compensation and hos
pitallzation for ex-service men OF
this sort, whether their condition is
directly traceable to the war or not

ID. w. AINEY APPEALS FOR HELP

Editor Enterprise:
l am appealing to you for help.
am impressed with the statement
that it is the indispensable duty OF
every qualified voter in this country
to go to the polls and cast his bollot
for the men and principles which
must govern in this land of ours foI
a period of at least two years. Bu'
how may a voter become reliably in
formed, so that he can intelligently
and safely perform his duty? / read
the Enterprise faithfully, but l find
some things there that are of suspic-
ious origin and bear earmarks of the
propaganda factory The article
published on October 9Th under the
caption. "a Sane Readjustment On
Business Lines" is case in evidence,
which the author begins by stating
that much has been ignorantly said
about the violent deflatation of
farming" He then proceeds to
sIucidatn the subject n crnningfJ
devised article composed of half
truth, well calculated TO deceive and
misinform the public. Now if the
public is ignorant" or misinformed
is not the election likely to result in
confusion worse confounded? As a
matter OF fact is not the man who
attempts to teach the public and mis-
states facts or states facts in a way
to mislead, a real danger to good
government? IN the article above
referred to the author speaks Of
plain corn land up TO $500 an
acre" whereas you will likely find
that if corn land has sold up to $500
an acre, a considerable of the price
was for improvements on the land
Houses, barnes. wells, windmills,
fences, etc, go in with the price of
the land, and they cost considerable
in these days of high priced material
and labor.
He also says if there was deflata-
tion of farm values it was only de
flatation of the speculative" value.
Well, we are told that in Washing
ton county, Idaho, 10000 acres of
improved farm land have been aban-
doned. Some of that land was high
ly improved. Was the entire value
of that land speculative? Another
statement of the same author is the
worn-thread-bare statement that the
great slump" in the value of agri-
cultural products was caused by the
loss of our export trade; whereas the
facts seem to be that we have ex-
ported more agricultural products
since the war than We did before So
one might go on and enumerate mis-
statements and misleading state
ments from platform and press by
T% ,..
rlorable? Are the high offices of
this great government to be attain
ed by trickery? God forbid. Let's
get back to the principles of the
Fathers, justice, honesty and fair
play.
