When President Coolidge signed
the immigration bill containing Jap

recognize that the enactment of this
provision does not imply any change
in our sentiment of admiration and
cordial friendship for the Japanese
people, sentiment which has had

manifestation. The bill rather ex-
presses the determination of the
congress to exercise its prerogative
in defining by legislation the control
of immigration instead of leaving it

HARroNG SHIPS CHICKENS

In the past few weeks, j. M. Har-
tong has shipped six carloads of live
chickens out of Blackfoot, some of
them being assembled from adjoin-
ing counties Most of the people
who sold fowls aimed to Gull their
fiocks and get rid of the Improbable
ones or those getting too old to- be
safe investment any longer.
1t is said that quite large pro-
portion of those shipped out we're
chickens that were not paying for
their keep, and whatever the owners
received for them was velvet. A
certain percentage of flock will die
each year from old age, and where
culling has not been done to keep
down the age loss there has been a
net loss to the owner by neglecting
it. $50 ;r
Mr.. Hartong has organized buying
agencies at Shelley, Idaho Falls,
American Falls and Bancroft, and
last Sunday had a conference Of all
the buyers from those places assem-
bled at the Blackfoot office.

The New-Yorker was alive and full
OF questions. He walked out over
the farm and acted like boy in q
berry patch The potato field was
so perfect and promising. The
sugar beets looked fine. The alfal-
ia meadows were a treasure. and the
whole farm bore evidence of being a
gold mine. The Jap's statements as
to yield and sales the previous year
/ filled the New Yorker with interest
and he waxed warm. As he got in
to the car to go on he remarked that
that farm was worth the amount of
the loan on 1t and plenty to spare.
Were there any more such farms in
Idaho?
The Salt Laker drove to the beet
dump and they had long look from
the top of it. The farms spread out
all around like a checkerboard, with
water flowing on hundreds of acres
of it, beets, potatoes, grain and al
falfa. The New Yorker was silent
for while and then he said earnest

The Salt Laker drove out into
Bingham county and crossed over
some of the big canals running full,
and paralleled lot Of Others, He
stopped at few places in the Gosh
en- country and the New Yorker went
into some of the fields and talked
with the irrigators. He waxed up
with compliments and thank-yous
for being brought out into Idaho.
They drove up through Bonneville,
and Fremont counties, cir
cled the Egin Bench and made a
good many stops. On the way back
they stopped again at the Bannock
hotel, and there was telegram !

Credit of State Injured
By Calamity Howlers

| A couple of years ago in the
month of June Salt Lake City man
representing a New York loan COM
pany, received orders not to loan
any more money in Idaho. He en-
quired why this discrimination
against Idaho, and was told that the
bank had sent a man on circuit of
the northwest and while passing
through Idaho he made many stops
and inquiries, and wherever he went
the people he talked with told him
they were broke.
The New York bank afterwards
had occasion to send a man into
Utah to look over some property
they had loans on and property they
had applications for loans on. The
Salt Lake man took the New Yorker
wherever he wanted to go, and fin
ished his observations at Garland,
near the Idaho line. The Salt
Laker wanted to take the man into
Idaho, but he said he had no occa-
sion to go there. The Salt Lake
man asked him to be his guest for
just a little while and look at what
ever was presented, and the New
Yorker consented. The Salt Laker
started north, and at Malad he
phoned to the Bannock hotel at Po-
catello to book this New Yorker for
the best room in the house, and said
he would be there at about eight
O'Clock that evening, it being six
then. The New Yorker was indif-
ferent and did not show any more
than a polite interest in anything,
until he had been up in his room in
the Bannock long enough to shed
the dust of travel and return to the |
lobby. He came down smiling and
said, ''This is pretty good hotel.
have a fine room myself" From |
that time he was feeling fine and |
seemed glad he was alive. In the
they drove out to Tyhee and
stopped at large farm operated on
/ lease by a Jap. The New Yorker
vas informed that his firm had a
arge loan on that farm, and that
his Jap could show him around and
ell him whatever he wanted to know
bout the crops the year before.

gram to make it as difficult as pos
sible to remain single After legis-
lating at great length in matters
cannot discuss, they began agitating
for additional taxes on bachelors In
the effort to drive them into mar
riage with all the handicaps append
ed to it.
In the simplicity of the ways OF
primitive people. selection in mar
riage depended on the love element
their likes for each other, the at

charm they felt In each others
presence. the touch. the kiss. the
caress. But as civilization develop
ed, people grew farther away from
nature in courtship and selection IN
marriage. The. chief Of the tribe
sought to marry his daughter to the
son of another chief. Sons and
daughters of mere warriors were
taught to aspire to marriage only
within their class, and as classes
multiplied in number with advanc-
ing civilization, the opportunity for
love matches narrowed down. Young
people were taught to restrain love
and consider matters of wealth, oc-
cupation and station in life, even to
the point of crushing love altogether
and marrying where love does not
exist. Young people are even taught
to disregard the promptings of love
as something questionable, treacher-
GUS and to be avoided and smother

should be their relation and attitude

NATIONAL WASTE
LARGER THAN DEBT.

In his recent annual report to con
gress and the president, Secretary o.
Commerce Hoover says that the ma
tional waste in industry alone in this
country is $25, 900, 100000 every
year This is more than the entire
national debt.
| He says that the United States has
the highest ingenuity and efficiency
of any country, yet "our economic
machine is far from perfect. Wastes
are legion. There are wastes in un-
employment, wastes in over-produc-
ton, wastes in strikes, wastes due to
inadequate transportation facilities,
wastes caused by variation in prod
ucts, wastes by fire and wastes in
human life
His remedies are: Better control
of credit by the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn and individual bankers; more
adequate information to prevent dis
asters arising from the approach of
dangerous periods; the deferment of
public construction when private de-
mands enlist all available labor; the
restoration of real competitive con-
ditions.
This is an ambitious program, and
promises much good, If it can be
carried out. So long as this remains
the richest and most prosperous
country on earth, where wages are
high and luxuries are within the
means of all, there will be waste of
wealth and energy. 1t is just as
difficult to restrain the men and
women of ordinary means in their
expenses as it is the men and women
Of large means. No law can compel |
people to economic, no matter
they are rich or of ordinary |
means. 1t is a matter of habit and
personal desire.

EDUCATING THE
INDIANS.

There are SO,906 Indian children
of school age in the United States
and 67,125 now actually attending
school. There are 1000 more in
school than year ago.
Some people think that the gov
eminent is treating the Indians bad
ly because such a small proportion
of the children are in school. More
than 500 of the Indian children are
attending school; while only about
7096 of the white children of school
age are attending school, according
to the commissioner of education.
There are 312,702 Indians in the
United States; $4,000 in Oklahoma,
1O1 sos in the Five Civilized Tribes,
43,840 in Arizona; 20,S94 in New
Mexico; 1883 in Oklahoma; 49,
920 in Minnesota; 1902 in Califor
MIA; Washington 1879, and the
balance scattered over 13 other
states. New York has 4,272 Indians
the only eastern state having any
considerable number.
The United States spent last year
and will spend this year little over
$6,194 900 each year for the educa-
tion of the Indians.

A REAL EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM.

Whatever may be necessary tC
further improve Idaho's educational
system will undoubtedly be provided
by the legislature. Meantime, the
public may want to know more
about the system as it stands today,
not only as a matter of information
but in order that it may be in posi-
ton to more accurately pass judg-
ment upon any proposed changes.
The larger educational institu-
lions of Idaho are the state univer-
sity at Moscow, the Lewiston and
Albion normal schools, the technical
institute at Pocatello, the state
school for the deaf and blind and
the industrial training school at St.
Anthony. The great business of
these institutions is administered by
a state board of education, COM
posed of citizens of high standing in
the business and educational affairs
of the state, who serve without pay.
Not only do they give this splen-
did service to the major institutions
but to general supervision of the
public schools of the state, which
are directly controlled and managed
by non-salaried district boards.
This immense labor and great
state and local, are
given without cost to the people OF
idaho To compute it's value In
dollars and cents would produce
figures if the earning

power of these men and women
were taken into consideration. To
compute it in terms OF loyal public
service piles up an obligation that
can only be, and is being, paid in
gratitude.
1t is of interest ito know that the
| five members of this governing board
dispIace 80 board members who
formerly handled the affairs of the
same institutions. In addition they
act as co-ordinating body with
reference to our public schools and
also have. large responsibilities in
connection with vocational training
and the extension of state university
activities to every nook and corner
of the state, notably to the farming
industry In all its branches.
Because Of this splendid unifica
ton, because duplication has been
removed, the standard Of education
in Idaho has been materially raised
and the cost reduced compared with
the identical efforts in adjoining
states. While the total expense of
education has increased, the service
and the benefits have also increased
nightly, as would be the case with
any expanding business-but the re-
suits are manifest; the profit is sure
ly large. F,it ~ ~
In this connection it may be noted
that comparatively recent official
figures reveal that there was differ
ence of 25 per cent as between the
cost of education in Oregon and
figured on per capita |
basis, and the cost in Idaho-and |
that in Idaho's favor. 5,.,
Conducted by representative citi-
zens who are specially qualified,

port manifested by it's citizenry

as Japanese exclusion. 1t is report

are fathering what they call the

SAFEGUARDING OUR
INSTITUTIONS.

While the state administration
has indicated it's purpose to continue
policy of rigid economy in matters
/ of public expenditures, there is evil
! dence that the coming legislature
! will be confronted with many prob
lens that will call for the exercise of
| considerable wisdom in their right
determination. Economy when car
ried to the point of injury to existing
| institutions or that unnecessarily
halts growth and progressive -devel-
| opments may at times prove false
economy.
The University of Idaho is asking
for increased appropriations from
the legislature and in support of it's
request attention is called to the fact
that within the last four years en-
rollment at the institution has in
creased more than S3 per cent while
during that period the appropria-
lions from the state for the univer-
sity has increased less than five per
cent, and that while the state had
appropriated 100000 for university
buildings in that time private funds
totaling $75O,O00 have been raised
for building purposes principally for
dormitories and residence halls for
students, paid for through rentals
over twenty-year periods.
A total appropriation of 1884,
900 for the coming biennium will be
asked of the legislature by the Uni
versity of Idaho, President A. H. Up

| Civilization in it's present complex
condition is attempting to follow
codes for courtship, selection and
marriage that were formulated a
very. long time ago when conditions
were simpler. Through all the
years society has been trying to
amend and patch up its laws, rules
and customs relating to the rela-
ton of the two halves of society to-
Ward each other, with the result
that it has become so complicated
and so difficult to conform to, that it
is gradually prohibiting or prevent
ing the natural and desirable rela-.
lions altogether. A person can very
easily drive car on an open prairie
without violating any traffic rules,
but as he gets into areas with
fences and crossroads he begins to
violate some of the traffic rules in
trying to observe others. AS he
gets into the towns and cities where
there is greater congestion and the
traffic rules are more complicated he
violates more of them while trying
to observe the others. When he is
held to strict accounting for his
mistakes he resolves that 1t would
be better to go afoot or by any other
means than in his car. Matrimony
is like that. People who have tried |
it and been pinched and embarrassed |
while doing the best they could with |
a complex situation, are apt to
resolve that it were better to go |
afoot so to speak, and others looking
on decide not to venture. Many a
driver, if left to go as he pleases on
the open prairie where there are no
rules and no interference, would
make fine trip, but goaded and
lindered as in the city, makes a
allure. If driver gets into jam
Ind makes mistake and we fine
lin and revoke his license for six
months, he gets so out of practice in
tx months it is harder for him to
ucceed. If a person makes a mat
imonial mistake and has his license
evoked, he can't get it renewed for
tx months and in that time many
Kings may happen to make it more
ifficult or less desirable to again
inter- the matrimonial estate. He
nay, though, evade the law by going
nto another state to be married and
Jhen married he may return the

urry or determined to marry, are
lerely put to some unnecessary ex-
ense and lose respect for the law

ide such law, do it with good in
