he said most of the road would be on
the old roadway or on solid rock.
Where there is no suitable base, ma
cadam will be provided. Money has
been appropriated for that purpose.
All depends upon the base, Mr. Tay-
Tor said, and the ground will be thor
oughly tested and no paving will be
laid where the base is not right. If
satisfactory base can not be secured,
gaps will be left to be paved later.
In response to a question by NJ. J.
Flohr, Mr.. Ross defined macadam and
said that old road beds were practic-
ally as good as a base for paving. J.
]. Murphy wanted to know hoe long
paving would last, and Mr..
Ross said he could not give a direct
answer, but cited the paving Of this
class at Nampa which had been in
use IA years with practically no main
tenance expense.

If every civilized nation would adopt
that plan the peace of the world would
be assured. The plan is so simple it
seems strange that it was not sub

3ibly it was and got lost along with

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE TAKES
PROMPT ACTION.
TAKES

In his characteristic way President
Coolidge kept in close touch with the
developments in the oil lease investi-
cations being conducted by the senate
committee, and when these had pro-
crossed to the point that indicated
that highly valuable naval re-
serve oil lands had been dis
posed Of without authority Of law and
through collision between high gov
eminent officials and the heads of
powerful oil companies, he promptly
announced the employment Of counsel
independent Of the department Of JUS
tice to prosecute those charged with
wrongdoing in the courts so that if
there is any guilt it Will be punished;
il there is any civil liability it viii be
enforced; if there is any fraud it viii
be revealed, and if there are any con-
tracts which are illegal they viii be
cancelled. Every law will be enforc-
ed, and every right of the epople and
the government viii be protected"
The president knows no politics in
the prosecution Of these cases. and
will leave nothing undone that viii
aid in giving the fullest publicity to
every phase OF the infamous transac-
tions ana in melting out punishment
to the guilty.
Almost coincident with the an
nouncement of his purpose by the
president the eastern manager OF 4
Hiram Johnsons campaign for the \
nomination issued a pub {
lie statement in New York in which {
he all but accuses President Coolidge
lf being u party to these oil deals, or
1t least that he had knowledge OF
hem and shielded the conspirators 10y
ais silence. The dastardly nature of
his charge is on par with the acts
IF those who prohted by the oil deals,
md instead of weakening the conhd-
nee of the people in the president, it :
will react with telling effect upon the
of Hiram Johnson, which
was designed to help.

MORE THAN WORDS NEEDED TO
BEAT BooTLEeeER.

A Massachusetts gentleman, not to
be outdone by Mr. Box, also offered a
prize for a contribution to general
peace and happiness. But all he
wanted was a word that would LAGER
ate the conscience of the liquor law
violator. and cause him TO desist from
his evil practices. "Skofflaw'' was
the prize winning addition to our vo-
cabulary. Irreverent people say it
sounds more like a sneeze than an
epithet However commendable were
the intentions of its author. it will
take more than the coming of objur-
gatory phrases to put the bootieggers
to flight. Calling names never won
fight. Vigorous enforcement of the
law is the only effective method of
routing the enemies of prohibition.
What is taking place in Philadelphia
shows what can be accomplished
when public officials are animated by
and determination. Where
the courts are ready to back up that
sort of municipal administration with
stiff jail sentences, there is no doubt
n the mind of anybody as to whether
he liquor law is effective.

RAILROAD TRAIN SERVICE is A
REAL NECESSITY.

We are still hopeful that passenger
service will be restored between Wal
lace and Burke for reasons which this
paper has repeatedly stated and re-
stated. But the fact stands out clear
ly that if the service is secured. it
Will not last long unless it receives
the support of those who profit by it,
which means the people Of Wallace
and those employers and employees in
the canyon who desire a dependable
means of transportation. One COM
pany the Northern Pacific. has al
ready exceeded the limit in maintain
ing that train service and it is alb
surd to expect service to be restored
and maintained unless there is sufi-
Client business to at least approach
payment of actual operating costs.
The situation here is not materially
different from that of other towns
where train service has been or will
be curtailed ON branch lines
A case in point is the Pullman Cen
esee branch of the Northern Pacific. /

irawal of trains. the Uniontown,

TWO STATE CONVENTIONS TO BE
HELD THIS YEAR.

This being a presidential year. there
will be two republican state conven-
tions, the first being to select delegates
to the national convention at Cleve-
land which will nominate candidates
for president and vice president and
the second to nominate candidate
for senator, two candidates for repre-
sentatives in congress. and candidates
for all state offices. A meeting Of the
republican state central committee
has been called at Boise on February
u. Lincoln's birthday, foI the purpose
of designating the place for holding
the first convention and to apportion
the representation from each county
Two cities are already in the field to
capture this convention, Lewiston and
Caldwell, representing the northern
and southern sections of the state. 1t
may be assumed that if the first con-
vention goes north the second one /
will go south, and vice versa. Lewis
ton has every facility for taking care
of a large convention, and at the /
time the first convention is held, prob
ably in May, the weather viii be de-

are ample and excellent and the city
has excellent railroad connections, as
well as being accessible by good au-
,omobie roads from both north and I
south. Besides these essential fea-

that eight men are employed driving
a crosscut which will cut the vein at
a depth of 200 feet below the old work
ings. This crOsscut has now been adj
vanced S75 feet, and the total distance
to the vein is 1870 feet In the upper
tunnel the vein is 40 feet wide. In
fact there are two veins which rapid
ly converge as they go down, and the
crosscut is expected to cut one great
vein below the union of the two In
the upper tunnel the vein is heavily
carrying considerable
lead-silver ore, and much confidence
is felt that the crosscut will find
body of commercial ore when the vein
is reached. Perhaps the most inter
esting and significant feature of the
First National is that it lies directly
east of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan

that great vein. The First National

UNIVERSAL CoNSCRiPTiON HAIR
DING's PEACE PLAN.

If a declaration of war meant that
the services Of every person in the
nation would be conscripted, called to
the colors. so to speak. and be re-
quired to perform whatever service
he was best adapted to help the gov
eminent win the war; and at wages
fixed by the government, an effective
step would be taken not only in
providing national defense but also
an even more effective step toward
preventing war This would mean
that not only every individual would
be subject to war service. but that
every business establishment, factory,
industrial plants of all kinds, rail-
roads, mines, farms, herds and all
means of production would be at the
service Of the government There
would be no profteering, no wage
holdup. If it could be known in adj
vance that under this plan of unlver-
sal CONSUMPTION, every resource of the
government would be called into ser
vice in the event of war; there would .
be a sudden slump in belicose talk in /
connection with international dis
putes and means would generally be
found to reach an agreement without
to war This idea was de-
veloped by the late President Har-
ding in his speech at Helena while on
his fatal western trip He said in
part:
Il have said before and
choose to repeat it very deliber- Il
ately now that If war must come. I
and God grant that it shall not, G
then we must draft all of the ma [
ton to carry it on. 1t is not S
enough to draft the young man G

meeting.
Questions Raised.
NJ. II. Sullivan, of Kellogg. express
ed disappointment that Mr.. Ross was
not more specific in giving the detail
of asphaltic paving. What the people
want is paving that will stand the
traffic, and there seemed some doubt
that bitulithic could be laid on parts
of the road in this county.
Mr.. Ross explained that there
should be a solid base, macadam or
old road bed upon which would be
placed two inches Of black base and
upon that two inches of Warrenite or
oitulithic.
Taylor Makes It Clear.
After considerable discussion be-
.ween Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. Ross

HENRY FORD'S FINE BUSINESS
FORESIGHT.

Doubtless Henry Ford would be
pleased if he We're in the White
House, but he has the good sense to
recognize ability and integrity in
others. President Coolidge means to
do right" says he, and when a man
means to do right he will find a way
to do it," Mr.. Ford puts the question,
why changer" Why indeed? There
are other men of high character who
would doubtless make satisfactory
Presidents, but Mr.. Coolidge has al
ready demenstrsteS the s.ue ho IS
made of and the policies he proposes
to follow. The country is satisfied.
Why change?

TAXPAYERS "HARD-8oILED."
Portland Oregonian.


There are now about 100000
people who yearly pay income tax to
the government directly out of their
pockets. 1t is estimated that about
100000 of these people pay tax on
incomes not exceeding $4,000 and
would save an average of $50 each if
the Mellon plan should be adopted,
and an additional $50 through the
fall in the cost of living that would
result from tax reduction. Those tax
payers compose a larger bloc than any
of those which call for new schemes
that involve spending.
When they come to consider plans
which mean saving money to them
as the alternative to schemes that
mean spending more money, these
taxpayers are non-partisan and are
liable to be hard boiled." In the
aggregate they represent about three
tenths of the entire population and
they are generally heads of families,
therefore each represents two votes.
On a question which concerns saw
ing money for the family a man and
his wife will vote together, though
they may disagree on other questions.
These taxpayers will not be easy to
fool. If told that a soldiers bonus
would cost only about SS0.000,000 for
the first few years and that they can
pay it. yet pay less taxes, they will
want to know the total cost. Esti-
mates of the total cost of the bonus
range from $3,5OO,0OO.0OO up to So
O0O.OOO.OO the larger sum being more
probable. w. G. McAdoo, leader of
the democratic spenders, would issue
50-year bonds for that sum, which at
4 per cent interest would cost $780, |
900 900 a year, plus a sinking fund /
which would absorb the remainder of |
what Mr.. Mellon would cut from tax |
alton.
Emphatic approval of the Mellon
plan has come from all parts of the
country. from people of both parties.
Both parties in Congress would do
we'll to give heed to that fact They
would better combine forces for de-
eat of the spenders in organization
If Congress for defeat of national
schemes of progressive spending and
or the program of national economy
o which President Coolidge is COM
nitted.
Congress has long thought of sur {
ilus as more money to spend. IT
would better reverse its thinking APP I
aratus and think of a surplus as
money taken from the people in ex-
ess of the real needs of the govern
lent therefore to be refunded to those t
rom whom 1t was taken. This is the I
emand of the greatest OF all blocs- \
he taxpayers. p

IMPORTANT WORK OF THE u. S.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The extent and diversity of the work
of the United States geological sur
vey is indicated by a recent memoir
andum for the press We in the min
ing sections of the west have long
Leen in close touch with the work
Of the survey and know its great
value through having prohted by it,,
hut even we have hardly realized the
wide field the survey covers outside
of its strictly mineral geological in
designations, mappings and reports
As CLEANED from the annual report Of
the director for the year 1923, the work
of the geological survey embraced
geologic and topographic surveys the
study of mineral deposits, the collec-
ton of statistics OF mineral produc-
ton, the measurement OF the flow of
streams to determine the quantities
of water available for use and to pro-
vide information needed for projects
designed to prevent floods, the study
of available ground water. and the
classification of the public lands pre-
liminary to the issue of patents or
leases.
More than 10 per cent OF the United
states has now been accurately map
ped geographically large knowledge
of its geologic features and mineral
resources has been gained, and widely
extended studies have been made to
discovered geologic processes. espec-
tally those that determine the accum-
S',,tio.i u mineral deposits.
During the year the survey dis
tributed nearly q million and quar-
ter publications, of which nearly Co.,
900 were sold, and performed about
100000 worth Of photographic work I
for other branches Of the Government. /
