Ambition and Roads

1t is not an easy thing to stop al
ambitious man. Here is Con Theusen
for instance. He bumped agains
Samuels and McKaig at Jerome with
SCATTERING effect to the ego of the
Canyon county political aspirant. He
lost his job as county Progressive
chairman here because Progressive
leaders knew he was wide open for
criticism.
But he continues onward, drawing
his $50 per from the county and
selling insurance on the side. De-
spite political reverses. he is still in
the game, forging forward. Last
week he spent a few days in Adams
county lining the boys" up there.
And his county pay went right on,
so far as we know.
Probably Mr.. Theuscn thinks build
ing Progressive fences in Adams
county is in line with his job as road
overseer of Canyon county. Ger
tainly Canyon county roads indicate
il.

Politics In; Profits Out ?
By Guy Flenner

Speaking politically. it's all over
but the clouting.
The tickets have been named, the
organizations are being perfected and
soon the campaigners will be strenu-
ously besieging the voters. Party,
administrative and individual merits
will be exploited an dextolled; and
parties, administrations and individu-
ais will be exposed" and condemned.
Every trick and device in the politi-
cal sack will be resorted to, as here
tofore and the public may be worked
into such fever as to forget prac-
tically all else in an adroitly manu-
featured zeal 1t can't be avoided
An investigator once attempted to
express in terms OF man power and
dollars the loss in energy and money
during political campaigns, when so
much is neglected and so much bit
terness engendcred He ran it up to
such astounding figures that he
abandoned the enterprise because his
statement would be unbelieved by the
average person. We all know, how
ever, the resistance exercised by
politics on all other forms Of
endeavor.
That is bad enough, but the final
results are often worse. If they are
of the character that fails to arouse
confidence. depression becomes wide
spread and the campaign damage be-
comes fixed for long period. Bust
ness cannot be injured without every
one feeling it. for everyone is en-
gagged in business in some form or
other. whether he sit behind the
counter, on scaffold, in the shop
or in the countryside
As important. therefore, as may be
the process OF getting some men into
Office and others out of Office, we
should not minimize the value OF
keeping ourselves reasonably in check
during political campaigns, of going
on with our respective jobs and of
analyzing parties and candidates with
the idea OF the effect their success may
have upon ours.
Especially in state IKE Idaho,
which is sorely in need of more
capital to energize our industries. to
stabilize our farm values and to
create additional home markets,
should we give studied consideration
to those matters. More capital will
not come these days into state OF
vascillating. harrassing, unfair ad-
and the capital such
state has will not materially extend
its operations.
Chambers OF commerce will no
longer feel the urge OF tireless and
costly efforts to secure more popula-
ton il only we can get more capital
invested in our state. With that,
new population will move in. un-

BUTTER PRICES
HERE ARE FAIR
Blunt Says Local Quo
tations Justify
Home Support

Mr.. Editor:
Will you permit me through the
columns OF your paper to make a few
comments?
AT the present time we have few
people interested in trying to organ
ize cooperative creamery in Cald-
well. In order to secure the CO.
operation OF the business men of
Caldwell and the signing up of the
dairymen of the valley They are
making comparison of prices paid by
the Caldwell creameries and the prices
paid by the creamery at Payette
These statements if true would in
dictate that the business men of CaId-
well would be justified in giving this
movement their support and the
dairymen would be lead to think his
returns would be greater enough to
justify him in taking stock to finance
the same. These statements are so
wrong that it seems to the writer
that the creameries at Caldwell are
placed at disadvantage and that
the business men OF Caldwell will be
indirectly injured.
Being somewhat interested in a
square deal to the crcameries here |
have made some investigations and
find things far different than reports
would show. | made a trip to New

found for February, March, and
April, the Caldwell Creamery company
paid higher price than Payette paid.
The average price paid BY all the
creameries for the past nine months
are as follows:
Payette paid an average OF 44Xcl
