WILL PROBE QUESTION
OF PHEASANT DAMAGE


appointment of a committee tC
make an unprejudiced examination
and report on the matter of damage
to crops by pheasants, was decided
upon Thursday by r. F. Thomas,
state game warden.
Much has been written and spok-
en-, the warden said, about the dam
age or benefit to crops by these birds,
but in Idaho no actual investigations
have been made 1t is not the desire
of the state to propagate these birds
and liberate them in counties of the
state where sportsmen are anxious
to have them, if they are a pest and
menace to the farmer, he said.
Mr.. Thomas said that either the
latter part of this week or early next
week he will go to Nampa and select
a committee of farmers to make a
thorough investigation and report to
him. In order to determine the ac-
tual effect off pheasants on crops it
will be necessary to kill several and
open their crops to see what they
This will give accurate in
as to what the birds eat.

was built of boards, with fifty feet
enclosed, dark and filled with the
gases of an exploded mine. Each
team in turn equipped with gas
masks, streteher, lamps, and ban
dages enters the mine, seeks an in
jured man, gives first aid and brings
him out.
For the afternoon the ten teams
gave open exhibition Of first aid work,
all at the same time. To each of the
captains of the teams a sealed en-
yelope was given containing de-
scription OF the injuries of the man
to be restored. Two minutes were
given for the opening and reading
the contents of the letters. Then
with a PROSTATE man on a blanket
before each team they set themselves
to the first aid help as fast and as
skillfully as possible A judge to
each team took notes. The time was
limited. This kind of test was re-
peated three times with different
set of injuries with which the in
yalids were supposed to be suffer
ing. The winning team for skill
and timeliness is to be rewarded with
a free trip to Springfield, Illinois,
where a national contest will be held
The purpose is to promote first aid

Sage Rats of HatDaii
Become Coffee Addicts

Thousands and perhaps millions Of
sage rats in the Kona district of the
Hawaiian islands have become coffee
topers. They subslst wholly upon the
ripe coffee berries and cause big losses
to the growers annually, it is stated.
Although the rata make coffee their
sole diet the rodents do not seem to
be any the worse of by reason there
Of, so far as their physical condition
is concerned. They are sleek and fat
and scamper about with an undue
playfulness, their unusual activity be-
Ing due to the stimulating character
Of the food, II is supposed.
Coffee growers have so far been UNI
able TO cope with the rat pest. The
little animals swarm into the bushes
when the berries begin to turn and
eat and destroy enormous quantities
OF the product, 1t is asserted.
1t was not until some time after the
growing of coffee In the Kona district
was started that the sage rats learned
to like the taste OF the berries. Gradual
ly the addicts Increased until now prsc
ideally every rodent, young and old,
will not eat anything else. They even
store away large quantities of the ripe
berries, In the same manner as sQuir-
rails.

net banking income, with the result
not support as many banks as it dia>
in the past decade. Some income
previously enjoyed by the banking
industry has been curtailed, and in
many instances eliminated by legis-
lative action. Increased and multi
piled taxes, greatly increased cost of
stationery, supplies, wages, etc., with
an increasing proportion of deposits
on an interest bearing basis, and
with decline in the rate of inter-
est which may be collected on bank
loans, have in every way reduced the
earning capacity of banks.
G. A bank to be strong institu-
tion and to best serve the commun-
ity must be one with reasonable
earning capacity. All experience
shows that fewer and stronger banks
better serve the community.
Now, therefore, in view of the
foregoing facts,
1t is resolved by the Executive
Committee of the Idaho Bankers AS
sociatOn, in meeting assembled this
eth day of July, 1925, at Boise, Ida
no. that the issuance of bank chart
ers should be made only after the
most careful scrutiny has been Civ

eonclusively the economic conditions
of the community demand addition

ture from such a policy will tend to
recreate the distressing situation
from which Idaho has just emerged,

expressed at meeting of retailers,
manufacturers, and wholesalers,

was in favor of pushing Idaho goods,

has taken formal action in matter of
additional bank charters and passed
the following resolution:
Whereas the following facts APP
pear to exist:
1. OVer-banking contributed more
to the great number of bank failures
in Idaho than did the general depres-
sion. Bank failures in Idaho would
have been few n number, had ii not
been for over-competition leading to
speculative and unsound banking
practices. Idaho in recent years,
with its excessive number of banks,
found there was more banking over
head than banking income could sup
port, leaving no recuperative powers
to take care of losses. hTe deficits of
operation added to the losses of un-
sound banking practices and of the
general depression, in many COM
munities accelerated insolvency, re-
sulting in failures and attendant
community distress.
2 1t is a mistake idea that banks
create wealth. The banking struc-
ture is simply the distributing sys-
tenn for such mobile wealth as may
be created by the community. The
facilities of the banking structure
are limited by the ability of the COM
munity to produce wealth, and the
greater the number of agencies in
such distributing system, the greater
the overhead costs, which curtail to
that extent the net banking facilities
available to the community.
8. The experiences of the past
few years show that unsound bank
ing practices, which developed large
ly from over competition in banking,
have carried Idaho bank
ing far afield, and the utmost care
md diligence must be employed in
and perpetutating the
sound banking practices which have
enabled the banks now in operation
o survive. 1t is not within the
province of sound banking to lend it.
elf to the making of capital loans,
he financing of industries n the ma |
ure of advancing the capital there
or. Funds for the creation of in
ustries must be supplied by individ-
als, or other agencies employing
heir own funds (not the funds of
theirs which may be called for at
ny time on demand as is the case
18th bank deposits); agencies which
lay logically assume such specula- =
We and investment risks. The COM
ercial banking structure is not de-
gned for the making of such adj
lnces and it was never the inten-
on, nor is it in the best Interests of
he public, that it should so func-
on. This may not be the public
inception of banking but any de- 7.
lrture from this policy leads even
laIly 10 community distress.

On throughout the state shows that
ere are now banking facilities of a 4
pacity adequate for the present
e2lth of the community, and gem /
