FOR A DISTRICT FAIR

t. j. Bennett of Shelley, Idaho
has sent the following letter to all
commercial clubs and a number OF
civic bodies of Eastern Idaho:
Shelley, Idaho, Oct. IA, 1924.
Dear Sir:-Your club or commun-
ity is requested to send five dele
gates to meet with others from the
eastern counties of Idaho at Black
foot at p. m. Wednesday, the 22nd
of October, 1924, to consider estab-
fishing district fair for Southeast
ern Idaho to be supported and gov
erned by the several counties.
Bingham county has the finest
fair grounds in the state, a property
developed at cost of about seventy
thousand dollars which that county
is willing to turn over as a gift to
the larger organization. Centrally
located in the heart of our agri-
cultural district, on the main lines
of travel it seems the logical use to
make of it. The county commits
sioners have control of it, and the
present board have consented to go
into such an arrangement.
At the request of a number of
prominent men outside of Bingham
county, this call is sent to you by
the undersigned. Please notify
Miss Grace Peck, secretary of the
Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce, of
the names of your delegates, and
she will arrange for the meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce.
Respectfully,
T. j. Bennett.

Office in the state, rejecting as II
will, the confidence of the people.
The endorsement of President
Coolidge cannot but be pleasing to
all people regardless of political be-
lief and affiliation, for 1t was the en-
dorsement of an honest, faithful and
conscientious man and executive,
who puts national welfare above
party or individual success and who
before he would commit one act
political or otherwise which would
not be for the good and betterment
of all of the people, would sacrifice
the great honor and office for which
he is the chosen candidate of mill
ions of people.
Senator Borah supports Coolidge
and Dawes, not alone because they
are the nominees of the Republican
party, his party, but for the reason
ests of the entire country are repre-
men and for their success he pleads
their cause.
Senator Borah is not afraid to
criticise those acts within his own
party which he believes are not for
the best interest of the country at
large, I'D does not hesitate to state
his case and his beliefs so plainly
that none can misunderstood.
1t is the idealism, the honesty,
the integrity of purpose and the
great principles of the party that he
represents which brings Borah SO
close to the hearts of the people and
establishes in their minds the great
confidence which they have in him.
When the Republican party, the
Democratic party, the Progressive
party or any political affiliation or
has more men of the
Borah type within their ranks the
safety of the people and the per-
petuity of the nation and the govern
ment for all ages to come are as
sured.
Borah dares to be right and in
that bravery and courage that sets
aside the mean and the petty, the
jealous and the inferior, he has won
and established himself so firmly in
the minds and hearts of the people
of Idaho and the nation that he has
but to give his consent to accept,
and there is no gift or honor in the
power or possession of the Ameri-
can people he may not claim.

Gasoline Tax Produces
Big Revenue For State

The state of Idaho has received
from the tax on gasoline since the
law went into effect April 1, 1923,
the sum of 753,169.25, according
to announcement made last week by
the state commissioner of law en-
forcement. This is an average of
$44,304.07 per month. The cost OF
collecting this tax amounts to $780,
03 per month and the total cost Of
collecting the tax since the law be-
came effective has been $12,240 or a
cost of " cents on the dollar.
Based upon the amount of tax
collected it is figured that gasoline
to the amount of 37,658,463 gallons
has been used since the tax has be-
come effective. On the basis of 6S,-
900 licensed cars in the state of Ida
no the consumption of this amount
of gasoline means that each car has
an average of $50 gallons
and has consequently paid tax of
$11.00. The tax as fixed by the
legislature of 1928 is two cents on
the gallon.

PRAISES BORAH's SPEECH

Commenting editorially upon the
speech Of Senator William E. Borah
recently delivered at Idaho Falls
Senator M. B. Yeaman in the Times
Register says:
The Colonial theatre, house with
the greatest seating capacity in
southeastern Idaho, was filled to
capacity, the aisles back of the seats
and the lobby damned with an i'm
patient mass of people who express
ed disappointment that they could
not gain entrance to the building.
The management states that al
most as many people were turned
away as were admitted to the build
ing, evidencing the great interest
that is manifest on the part of the
people generally in the present cam
paign.
The audience was characterized
by those best able to size up a situa-
ton OF the kind as the most repre-
sentative political audience ever
gathered in Idaho, as there were
men and women of every shade of
political complexion.
The expression of approval on the
part of the audience was general and
II there was a criticism it certainly
was not expressed.
Republican party leaders through
out the state who had gathered in
force to hear the address on the
part of the senior senator, voiced
their entire approval Of his stand
and the statements made.
A great New York newspaper sent
a special representative in order to
get the report direct, and two great
news agencies had special CORES
pondents in attendance, also big
newspapers from San Francisco to
New York sent telegraphic requests
for reports on the address to be de-
livered, realizing that it was filled
with import.
When speaker can hold an audi |
ence of nearly two thousand people, |
many of whom were obliged to |
stand for nearly two hours, and
keep their undivided attention, many
things are proven, among them be-
ing their faith and confidence in the |
speaker and his ability to interest
them
The confidence of the people of |
southeastern Idaho in Senator Bor-
ah was never better demonstrated |
than on his appearance here Tues
day evening.
His address was a classic. 1t |
provided food for thought. 1t was
an expounding of the doctrine of |
politics which it is good to have
heard it was party, though not a /
partisan, address, free from person
alities and the small weak tricks of
many political speakers who seek to
win their hearers through prejudice
and biased statements.
The address of Senator Borah was
an appeal to patriotism and it would
be a stolid and sordid individual
who could hear 1t and not be moved.
Senator Borah will be returned to
the United States senate by the
greatest vote ever cast for political

Automobile Etiquette.

Authorities on etiquette agree that
when man and woman are riding to-
gether in carriage or automobile the
woman should be seated on the right.
If the vehicle is not so placed that the
woman, in stepping in, can easily move
over to the right side, good form per
mits her to take her seat and allow the
man to step across to his seat. Some
authorities regard it as extreme for Il
man to walk to The left si,le OF the
car to enter. In case there is no door
man in attendance the man San close

PROBATE JUDGES WORK

Proabte Judge ]. E. Good reports
that his office has become self-sup-
porting during his administration
there having been more than six
thousand dollars in fees earned by
the office during the year and turn
ed into the county treasury. The
expense of salary and office expenses
has not been definitely totaled but
it is much less than that Chairman
Dickinson of the Republican central
committee says it has been his OBJ
servation that Judge Good is careful
to protect the estates that are set
tied under his direction, and there
are getting to be a good many of
them. In the earlier days when set
tiers were new and most of them
were young there was not much of
that to do.

coming of human jealousies and
prejudices and not the engineering
problems. The splendid results
which have been obtained during
this dry year, which might SO we'll
have ended in disaster on many pro-
jects, gives hope that it will be pos
sible to work out better projects and
better conditions. No better proof
could be asked of the fact that re-
suits can be gained by working to-
gether which never could be achiev-
ed by each individual, man or pro-
ject, working for himself.

Overhauling Irrigation
bitches Now Is Advised

The time has come for the over.
hauling of many of the irrigation
systems of Idaho. Very great saw
ings in water and cost of mainten.
ance may be made by the complete
Encouragement of the canal and
lateral systems in those valleys OF
Idaho where irrigation is carried on
by a large number of separate units
Such economies may come by the
uniting of two or more bitches in a
common organization, the absorb
ton Of smaller canals by larger sys-
TENS, or by the organization of COM
paratively large areas into irriga-
ton districts.
The earliest irrigation in the west
ern states was by means of small
bitches dug by individuals or by
small groups of farmers working to-
gether These bitches were taken
out Of those streams which furnish
ed plentiful supply of water
throughout the season. These
early bitches were enlarged as time
went on and larger or higher ditch
es were built After a time the
area of land irrigated became so
large that it became necessary to
store flood waters for use late in the
summer. Each separate ditch and
reservoir has ordinarily been plan
ned with little or no thought Of it's
relation to the rest of the system.
AS result there have grown up
haphazard collections of canals and
reservoirs each having it's own diver
sion from the river. In many cases
these canals run side by side for
miles. AS each of these canals must
be maintained and operated there is
an unnecessary duplication of ex-
pense. Perhaps a more serious re-
suit is the very great increase in
seepage losses and other waste of
water due to the number of canals
and laterals which might be done
away with. The loss of water from
two canals running side by side will
nearly always be greater than would
he loss from single larger canal
carrying the same amount of water
Is the two smaller ones.
Often great savings in expense of
operation and in water supply can
)e made by means of reorganiza- |
ion of the management of two irri- /
cation systems which parallel each |
'ther. This also might be done
With the expenditure of very small
mounts of money for new con-
tructiOn or enlargement. Under
Their conditions it will be found
hat the expenditure of considerable
ums in enlarging one canal or lat
raj of a group or the construction
f new laterals in place of old canals
ill be very worth while.
In many cases a single well-con-
tructed diversion dam and head
ate will take the place of several
ock and br sh dams and wooden
eadgates. The new dam will cost
money to construct but
will not require rebuilding after
very flood. Moreover, with such
the canals may be kept
full and annual periods of
portage will not occur while 1.-The
am is being put in.
In other cases economies in the
Sc of water will result from the
of duplicate canals
Id laterals with their unnecessary
,epage and evaporation losses.
In striving for such reorganiza- ]
on and betterments the chief diff
llties will be found to be the over
