their stores of gas which will not only
kill the people in their homes, but
even the growing crops in the fields.
In that great and awful day men
will ask of the waters to hide them
and the earth to cover them, but there
will be no salvation. The Book Of
Revelation contains no forecast of
terrors so incomprehensible as those
which our new knowledge places at
the disposal of our new power-a
power unrestrained by righteousness.
The world is like a child given dyna-
mite and sulphuric acid for toys. 1t
yields the power of science, but only
for self-destruction-un
Unless what? Unless a terribly vivid
sense of this danger comes home to
the peoples. OF the politicians there
seems to be no hope. Out of the body
of the peoples must come salvation
from the body of this death, If 1t
comes before the world in which we
live is destroyed, as it is now almost
destroyed over much of Europe.
America is not outside the zone of
destruction. We are already entangled
in this web of destruction.
The governments of the western
world have only a few more years,
perhaps only a few more months, in
which to pa1ter with this thing. 1t
will be only a short time when there
will be no hope save by revolutions in
every civilized country-and nobody
can be sure that there is hope in revo-
lutiOnS.

1t depends on how the power is di-

Since that old lesson was written
we have gained knowledge of which
its writer never dreamed And we
find knowledge is power. The World
War was a contest of knowledge, not
primarily Of men or arms. 1t was
in the main power for evil The
world would be better off now if the
nations had been obliged to fight with
clubs and stones instead Of with high
explosives, poison gas, aircraft, sub
marines and tanks.
We have gained in power nightly.
We are gaining all the time We are
gaining through new knowledge. But
We have not gained in righteousness.
We are as mutually devoted to de-

less there is a revival and develop

the nations called civilized.
Only a few men are telling the world
OF the impending death of civilization
if new world war breaks out, as it
threatens. Among these are General
SHUTS and Sir Philip Gibbs. If we
were not calloused by horrors. we
should grow pale and weak with terror
at the vision OF what the next war
will surely bring.
1t will be war unlike the last. 1t
Will be waged, not against the soldiers
alone, but against the populations

peoples. Poison gas will kill the peO-

Evading Facts

The Free Press at Nampa take.
an unholy glee in quoting other Ida
no newspapers whose inclination i:
to rise and say something that can
not be proved, and has no basis OF
fact but that serves the useful purpose
OF keeping Idaho citizenship forever
irri,aied and dissatisfied Camas coun-
iy has come in for some OF that stun.
And II is interesting TO note that THE
New FREEDOM, Democratic organ,
brands the yarns lies. pure and simple.
Not a nice word. perhaps, but truth
cannot be evaded.
This is what The New Freedom
says;
Despite any personal opinion that
one might have about the present ad
m.nisiraton in Idaho, the cold fact
is that Camas County has had her ;aN
levy on all real and person al property
Tor State purposes reduced 5.j per
cent and instead OF paying % per cen
on every $1,000 OF assessed value as
she did in 1922 she was assessed only
IS cents on $4,000 in 1923.
But Camas County Cor rather her
EDITOR says she is paying more
STATE TAXES for 1923 than she
did for 1922 Why shouldn', she
Prosperity increased her assessed val
uation S3s. 5o0.7S in 1923 as compared
with 1922. In 1922 Camas County
reported to the state beard OF equaliz-
alton a total of S5243.735.22 on her
real and personal property assess
men, roll: In 1923 she reported a iotalI
OF S3.2S2, 5000 and she wouldn't want
to hide new property worth S3S.5o0
rs from tho Tx collector would she
II prosperity hadn't given Camas
County more property she would have
paid less State taxes in 1923 because
her levy for State purposes was re-
duced from 90 cents to So cents on
every $4,000 worth OF property she |
didn't hide from the assessor.
Now the gasoline tax has no more
to do with property taxes than has
the predatory animal tax or any other
tax paid by special olassos directly in
terested. II a newspaper man or
bootlegger wants to deliver his goods
by auto. why should a farmer with
only team be expected to pay for
the roads the auto burns up9
I'VE don't care a continental who
reduces taxes, SO long as they are re-
duced. It's not any particular credit
to the party in power in Idaho that
a reduction has bcvn made, because
it is no more than should have been
done and no more than was promised
when they got into Office. When you
go to a department store and buy an
all WOOL suit and afterwards discov-
er that il is really all wool. you don't
go crazy over the fact but you feel
that you got just wha, you paid for.
ou, if on the other hand the suit proves
to be shoddy. you raise quite some
dust and the store knows you no
more. The present administration did
make quite an effort to keep cam
paign promises OF economy. We think
that in many cases they wen, too far
in cheese-paring and did not hesitate
to say at the time and since"

Q. How has tn. ~ leased num-
Der of country churc,es affected
church attendance?
There are today approximately lnl--
700 rural churches in the United
States. When there were only 100
such churches, practically the entire
country population attended them.
When there were 1000 the average
attendance was still exceedingly high
but OF recent years the percentage o
rural church goers has almost SEEM
ed to be in an inverse ratio to the in
crease in churches.
