 Now fet'us turn to the situation. Il the candidate receiving merely the largest numb of'electorai votes.eould be chosen, then the entry of La Toilette into the field would be uhimportant, according to unbiased and astute polit. ical judges" But this is not the case, and there are many political observers Who regard,it as wholly unlikely that a majority of the electoral vote will be won by any of the candidates.

 If DO candidate has iOrity-26f votes-then the House of Representa-. tives must immediately convene'for the purpose of choosing d president. The choice being limitedato the three high, est candidates would mean that the House would have only the option ot choosing une-elther Davis Coolidg or La Toilette.
 Here is where.the election machinery takes on different color. There is nc voting by individuals in the House.

 Anyone familiar with the line up ir the House last year can see how likely it is that neither Davis nor Coolidge would be able to obtain ma iority vote in the House in February.

Protect the Water Sheds

This summer will probably do as
well or better than any other to begin
hight for conservation OF timber on
head waters OF all streams on the
Bose river drainage area. Right now
there is bill in congress to include
Boise basin lands in the forest re-
serve. On its face. tina, would seem
TO be wise way of starting a cam
paign for timber conservation.
But investigation seems to indicate
that !, is not Most of the proposed
reserve is logged off land. And the
owner OF this property, providing it
can be included in the reserve. can
trade the stump lands for virgin TIM
Der in the reserve.
Not so had yet. providing reasonable
logging methods are used. But i,
seems tina, every stick Of timber more
than eight inches in diameter is con-
sidered mercantile stuff and when the
reserve lands have been logged, they
are as barren as Nebraska praire
before the sres, trek westward.
Boise Valley has two interests
timber conservation and the pro,ec-
ton Of her water supply. Both ends
would seem to be defeated BY passage

Clear the Smoke Away

This drainage controversy on the
Boise project serves primarily to focus
attention upon one thing-the i'm
mediate necessity for some permanent
relief program for federal reclama-
ton project settlers. IL is this everlast-
ing bickring. this continual uncertain
ty which. perhaps more than any
other one thing. is keeping federal
projects on uneasy street. Progress
comes only with reasonable aSSur-
ance OF what the future may hold.
Facts as uncovered by the reclama-
ton fact finding commission have
been worked into permanent and
revised policy. This measure may not
afford ADEQUATE relief. Much depends
upon the application of the land
classification clause in the bill. But
certainly the measure will clear away
a lot OF dust. At least there will be
foundation for progress.
While congressman generally realize
that settlers demand some legislative
action. the necessity for early enact
men, of relief bill apparently has
not beep forced upon that body with
sufficient emphasis. Somewhere there
must be source OF means for con
vincing congress that action IS vital
The west cannot go ahead without
radically revised reclamation policy.

Mrs. Horwitz And Mrs. Rothstein Unable To Open Community Showhouse In Plain- vile After VandaPs Visit.
Say They Heard Rumors They Would Be Put Out Within Three Months State Police Called in on Case.
Especial to the Herald.)

Plainville, Oct. 23.-Patrons of the Community theater on Whiting street were unable to enjoy their usual show last night following the discovery that a vandal had broken into the booth housing the motion picture machine and smashed the machine beyond repair, The state police have been informed and an investigation is being made.
 Representative of Mrs. Ida Hor- witz and Mrs. Kettle Rothstein, own- CTS of the theater, stated today that he knew of no reason for the act. The women state that when they took over the theater last spring from William Wilber who was at that time lessee and manager, they had heard some caustic remarks about their having driven MT. Will Der out by breaking his lease. This, they say, has been considered clear ed up because of the fact that rec ords in the town hall in Plainville will show that they@paid MT. Wilber $1.500 for his lease and also $2S0 for the furnishings. The transaction was completed in the office of Judge Bernard F. Gaffney fn New Britain who was representing Mir. Wilber in the transaction, l. The ygbmen claim that they have heard Gareats that they wouli be put out of the place within three months after they had started. They are convinced that the vandalism was an act of spite but they do not known who is responsible for the crime.
 An investigation by the PlainYille police showed that window in the side of the building had been brokens and way was made to the balcony. Two iron bars which were found near the booth were evidently used to smash the lock on the door. The police have suspicious as to the guilty parties and they will be re- ported to the state police.
 Mrs Horwitz and Mrs. Rothstein say they will push the matter to the limit. All clues will be sifted down if they have to hire special detectives to discover the vandals. Residents in the neighborhood of the building heard nothing during Tuesday night or Wednesday morn- ing, but it is said that the police know of some persons in Plainville who saw men about the building early Wednesday morning and these will be questioned by the state po- lice.

RIVER PIRATES ACTIVE
Dozen Airmen Steal 10 Boxes of Copper, Thinking it Gold, Arrived in New York on Olympic.

New York, Oct. 23.-A dozen river pirates held up two watchmen and a roundsman on Pier 59, North Riv- CT, today, and removed 10 boxes of copper which they evidently thought was gold brought in on the liner Olympic. They escaped in a motor boat.
 Two robbers, with revolvers, forced Michael Maloy. watchman, into waiting room and stood guard over him. Charles Campbell, anoth- CT watchman, was then seized and bound. One of the pirates knocked him unconscious with the butt of a revolver. James Duffin, roundsman on the pier, becoming suspicuous of the disappearance of the other two men, set out, with his revolver drawn, to investigate. The bandits threw sack over his head and bound him.
