'LUDENDORFF'S TRIAL
 IS OPENED TODAY
Hitler Also Slated for Hearing-
 Testimony in Secret
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated fress.
 Munich, Bavaria, Feb. 26. - The sanguinary events of last November became again topic of intense public interest today with the opening of the trial of former Field Marshal Luden- dorff and his nine assistants for their part in the attempt to overthrow the government
 While provisions for the press have been made in the military academy where the trial is being held. the most important of the testimony will be taken behind closed doors and the public sittings arc not expected to de- velop much in addition to the facts already published. The proceedings are expected to consume but a few days.
 The prisoners each have separate rooms in the military academy. which is used as temporary courthouse, and the authorities are said to have taken strenuous measures in an en- deavor 10 break the strike and keep the prisoners in good condition for appearance in court. They were Of fered pretzels, cheese sauer kraut rye bread. wienerwurst. book beer an@ other things for which Bavaria is fla nous. but drank the beer only and declined to partake of the food.
 The proceedings today were expect ed to be. devoted chiefly to the pre- liminaries of the trial and hearing Hitler give testimony in his own be- half.
 General Ludendorff appeared in court attired in civilian suit of dark material and wearing the iron cross of the first class. He was perhaps the coolest and most collected among the defendants The only one of the ac- cused who appeared in uniform was Lieutenant Wagner. who is an active officer in the reichswehr
 General Ludendorff, who has been at liberty, shook hands with Hitler when they met in the defendants dock before the opening of court and held brief conversation, Hitler showed plainly the strain Of the eN- citement he was laboring under, while General Ludendorff apparently was not rnffed in the least.
 No excitement is apparent in the

 After General Ludcndorff's arrival the president Of the court read the extremely lengthy indictment, the reading lasting an hour and half. All the defendants with the exception ot one are charged with high trea- son, The exception is Lieutenant pur- net. accused of aiding the others.

To summarize. the proposed amend
ment is Objectionable because the age
OF Is is impractical; it is revolution
airy in its disturbance of the relations
between state and federal govern
mcnt and between parents and govern
ment in the primary control over
the training and occupation of the
young; it is not needed, as the
states are giving effective protection
to child life from exploitation; it
leads to more bureaucratic govern

community conditions and substitute
for respect of local law distrust

reason that the Gem district hasn't

REFORM MUST PREVAIL

An upstate paper finds fault with
the speeches of Con Thueson made
in his recent swing around the circle.
Well. Canyon county is only paying
him $3.50 per month and you can
not expect whirlwind speeches for
that modest wage. These outsiders
who want better speeches should
petition our county commissioners
to make his salary as road ovcrseer
$500. With that salary he would
not have to sell life instance and
would have the time to think up more
plausible arguments.
OF course, it's a little irregular to
pay man even $3.50 per month as
a political boss and organizer I'M
der the guise of road supervisor,
but reform and progress must be
at all costs.-Nampa Leader

Current Comment
BE TRUTHFUL

We wonder if the farmers who
read La Foliette's Labor Day speech
were analytical enough to dig out
from its high sounding phrases, manu-
featured for the purpose of corralling
votes, the fact that he made a plain
misstatement OF facts, which his init
mate knowledge of the law referred
to and its provision, made so plain
| falsehood.
Let u quote the Wisconsin man.
Under the infamous Fornew-Mc Cum
Der tariff act (the present tariff law
passed by a Republican congress),
the price of everything the farmer
buys, including every piece of ma
chinery on his farm, every utensil in
his house. and the clothing worn by
himself and family. has been greatly
increased"
Well informed farmers know this
to be false. They know that the
plows they use, the cultivators. cream
separators. harrows. drills. the bind
ing Irvine. barbed wire. threshing
machines, boots and shoes, and in
truth such long list as would almost
cover the items of their biggest
expenditures, is exempt from duty,
while the duty on most of the things
they raise is such to keep farm pro-
ducts from collapse.
Mr.. La Toilette knows this and
he is again exemplifying the unfor-
tunate habit of people running for
Office. exaggerating situations in order
to ride themselves into Office, through
to the prejudices OF the
1t is difficult to understand how
farmers or stockgrowers in the state
Of Idaho could support any policy
other than the protective tariff. They
nave no other chance for prosperous
conditions except the profit that they
would make out of excess prices in
var time. On the other hand rail-
Dad men working for the Oregon
Short Line only have an assurance
II their pobs when agriculture and
is prosperous. Yet hun
reds of both occupations are listening
o the trite phrases, the alluring
peeches, of this political necromancer.

Get the Facts

Many things in connection with
the shooting of George Harris at
Nampa recently have left an unsavory
taste in the mouths OF Canyon county
citizens. One is inclined to the be-
lief that with such conduct on the
part OF a specially deputized officer
so easily overlooked that any citizen
is in actual danger of his life, not
at the hands of the hardened crimi-
nails, but from officers sworn to
uphold the law.
Judge Bryan has always felt that
the normal processes of law were
sufficient in Canyon county to pro-
tect life and property and that a
grand jury is not necessary here. But
this Harris case is new one And
the public generally inclines to the
belief that sworn testimony may help
in clearing the murky atmosphere.
Harris may be a bootleggcr He
may have been selling moonshine at
Nampa But he has not been proven
guilty OF such things and Until he
has, Harris must be regarded just as
any other citizen so far as the law
is concerned. In addition. he is a
Canyon county man. Even the
threat OF arrest was not likely to
skip the country"
Canyon county has had altogether
too much experience recently with
special officers. Besides costing the
public some cash. these operators
seem to have smcared things up
rather capably. And their net &C
complishment SO Ear as preserving
the peace is concerned has so far
been nil.
Caa grand jury and get to the
bottom Of this affair. The Tribune
is far from satisfied with things as
they stand

Weak Stuff

The Nampa Free Press is doing
its best to make Idaho citizens believe
that President Coolidge is a "weal
man" because he cannot contro
congress.
The Tribune respectfully calls at
tcntion OF The Free Press to the
undeniable fact that, except when a
national emergency demanded con-
certed action. no recent president has
dominated congress. The Free Press
knows that If La Toilette should by
some unfortunate accident become the
next president OF the United States.
he. more than any other president
this nation has ever had, will find
contrary congress.
The Free Press knows, too, that
the very things La Toilette stands
for-this socalled Progressivism and
this continual tampering with repre-
sentative government as the authors
OF the constitution conceived it's
doing more to destroy unity between
the three government departments
legislative, judicial and executive
than any other single thing. Not the
least of these troubles has been the
direct primary, now generally dis
credited over the country.
The Free Press knows that Coolidge
vas not weak when he vetoed the
bonus bill. that he was not weak
when he vetoed the postal pay
Measure and it is becoming increas-
ngly evident that he was right in
lis sturdy. strong advocacy of the
Mellon tax bill.
We credit The Free Press with one
hing. More twaddle can come from
Is pages and be presented in a more
lIuring light than from the pages
Il any other western publication
oming to our desk. For a weak"
nan. Coolidge polled pretty respect

Legal Help

Two hundred and fifty dollars has
been expended from county current
expense funds TO retain William Nor
gan. Boise attorney. to assist Logan
Hyslop in certain tax cases now
pending before the district court.
Further compensation shall be fixed
by agreement with the board of county
commissioners when the nature and
extent OF the work to be done is
better understood, according to the
official county commissioners pro-
ceedigs.
Here is fine kettle OF fish. How
much is this service going to cost
Canyon county taxpayers? Why
should il be necessary to supplement
the legal service which the county
attorney is regularly paid to give the
county with liberal retainer and prob
ably more liberal fees to buy the serv-
ice OF a Boise attorney? And why
a Boise attorney? Especially a north
Idaho trained man?
Why? Ask a man who has been
on a jury in a case that Logan Hyslop
has tried. He will tell you that
handling has thrown
many case out of court. Sheriff
Mason makes no secret of his opinion
that case which cannot be convicted
from the sheriff's office will never be
convicted.
A check OF the records seems to
Justify that opinion. Hyslop has tried
81 cases in the district court. Nine
have resulted in convictions and in
at least two OF these cases, the prose-
cutting attorney has been assisted by
other attorneys. Seven cases are on
he calendar to be tried.
Perhaps the commissioners were
wise in employing attorneys to help
Hyslop in these rather important tax
,ases. But it is rough, indeed, on
he taxpayers.

The Ways of Bryan

Bryan must be source OF great
satisfaction to the Democrats. He
threatens to get off the reservation
once in a while But. like a good
Indian and a good Democrat, when
the shooting begins. Bryan is always
back on the firing line, going great
guns. He swallows the mean things
he has thought and said and goes
TO bat like Babe Ruth for the Yam
KEGS. to score a home run in the
ninth for the Democratic party.
Inasmuch as Bryan has again
visited Idaho and cast his spell upon
one more audience, it is opportune
to turn the pages of history to those
momentous days in July when the
Democratic convention was the focal
point Of the eyes and ears of America.
1t was on July 9, when the Davis
strength began to assume such pro-
portions that his nomination was
likely. that Bryan shouted to the
world:
Davis is impossiblel
And the next day, July 10, when
Davis and a certain near relative Of
the redoubtable w. J. had been
nominated, Bryan had reversed him
self. This is the message he sent
to Candidate Davis:

PLIGHT Of FARMER
UNDERW0OD'S THEME
BEFORE KY. SOLONS
America Called Essentially An
Agricultural Country BY
Democratic Candidate

WASHINGTON, March ID
Speeches made recently in South
Carolina, Kentucky and Mississippi
by Senator Oscar w. Underwood,
of Alabama, without doubt have
added materially to his strength us
la Presidential candidate. These adj
dresses, delivered in each instance
before joint session of the stare
Legislature, dwelt upon the neces-
slty for tax reduction, the re-es-
tabIlshment Of world markets Tor
the surplus agricultural products OF
America, tariff revision and other
vital questions
Speaking Of the plight of the
farmer, Senator Underwood, before
the Kentucky legislature at Frank
fort, declared that an European
market to absorb Americas sur
plus agricultural products is essen
tial to prosperity in this country.
The United States must buy fronl
Europe in order that Europe can
buy from the United States. Rpeal
the Fordney tariff rates and open
up the channels Of export trade to
agriculture, he declared and the
difficulty gradually will disappear.
"The United States essentially is
an agricultural country; yet to an
enormous extent it also is a manu-
featuring country. Comparatively
little of Americas manufactured
goods are shipped abroad. They
are consumed at home. And when
the farmer is prosperous, when he
is able to sell the products of his
fields at a good price, then the man.
ufacturing communities are also
prosperous"
Mr.. Underwood, in each of his
addresses, touched on the subject
of tax reduction. Noting that %
day the United States is the most
heavily taxed nation in the world
except Great Britain, its people pay
ing in taxes one dollar in every six
hey earn, he, Of course, welcome
whatever relief may be afforded by
the present efforts in Congress to
reduce the income tax. But he
pointed out that relief from that
quarter must be slight in compar-
icon with the relief that would bd
afforded hv Dmocratic reduction
# the tariff.
