"A SHAMED IDAHO

GRAIN PRICES Of
MUCH AID To
FARMERS

WashingtOn.-The agricultural sit
uation promises farmers some in
creased economic leverage this year
the department of agriculture stated
that the index of purchasing power
of farm products is slowly rising.
At the beginning of July the index
of purchasing power of farm prod
ucts was 40 as compared with the
year of 1913, representing 100. That
is 10 percent higher than ever at
that time in abe last four years.
In its monthly review the depart
ment takes issue with those who have
estimated at $1,O00OOO,OOO increase
III the value of the wheat crops
over last years crop. at is possible
ahat American wheat growers will
get from $10000O,0OO to $20O,OOO,OOO
more for their wheat this year than
last, assuming that they sell some
thing over 500,000,000 bushels" the
department states. "This is consid-
erably less than the $1,000, 100000 in
crease estimaaed in some quarters
but bespeaks in increased ability to
pay off debts and a general improve

ABUSING WIDOWS PENSION
LAW

American Falls Press: Every de
serving widow and there are many OF
them in the country, should receive
benefits under the widows pension
law of the state. Many there are who
are struggling to raise a family, send
the boys and girls to school and exc
out living. Their struggles and sue
cesses against overwhelming odds put
the rest of us to shame. We marvel
at their endurance, their optimism
and their faith.
Widows pensions and INDECENT aid
given where it is deserved now cost
the county close to $4,000 year.
And it can rightfully be said that it
is the best spent money we spend
But the other day it developed that
dear old lady was about to deed
her property over to her son in or
der that she might be entitled to a
widows pension and have a large
amount of her property exempted
from taxation. Another widow re-
Gently endeavored to obtain widows
tax exemption in two counties thus
benefiting twice from the laws of
benevolent state.
Quite frequently we see widows
with husky sons and capable daugh-
ters who permit their mother to be
supported by the county, not only
permit it, but insist that she receive
county support.
Such abuse of the pension law will
ultimately react on the very class of
people it was intended to serve.
When widows scheme to put them
selves on the county, and when sons
and daughters court county aid for
their parent it is time for the coun-
ty commissioners to draw the line
and time for the state solons to safe
guard the law in such a manner that
only the deserving shall receive aid.
II the widows pension law is to full
fill its purpose it Should not be
abused.

IDAHO TOURIST TRAVEL

BOise.-A statement given out by
the Idaho State Automobile associa
ton shows that at least 10000 tour
ing cars have entered the state al
ready this season with the outlooB
for the number being doubled during
the remainder of the season.
''That figure does not give the real
total" the associations bulletin
states, "but only those of which an
actual record has been obtainable
through touring bureaus established
by the association, plus reasonable
estimates ON travel before the bu-
total is 71346.
Tourists coming into the state
from directions not in contact with
our touring bureaus will easily total
5000 cars, making the total to date
more than 10000 cars"
The bulletin states that diversions
at Green River bureau of cars whose
drivers did not intend to come into
Idaho number more than 700. More
than 250 cars have been diverted over
the North and South highway, it is
stated, whose drivers had not intend
ed to take that route In Yellow

been diverted into Idaho that had
not intended to be driven this way.
