Defense Cloaks Aggression

"A a orgy OF militarism is, enveloping
: our country ever more and more
Maneuvers by the navy, maneuvers
by the air fleet, mobilization of the
youth in the training camps, a ire
mendous budget for the war and navy
departments, and finally bellicose
speeches by number of generals on
independence and Defense Day-this
is but an incomplete list of the most
outstanding facts which took place dur
ing the last three months, and which
clearly prove that the United States
IS rapidly advancing on the path of
mllitarism saturated with the blood
OF millions of workers and farmers.
In the first years following the world
war France, measured by the
growth of militarism, took the place
OF pre-war Germany among tn eimSer-
ialist powers. At present this role is
passing more and more to our coun-
try. The U. S. is becoming a new
Germany, North American Germany.

area and Rear Admiral Bradley A.
Fiske, and you will be convinced that
they have in mind nothing else save
preparation for an offensive war. for
war of plumber and annexation, and
not for a defensive war.
They contemplate not the defense
of the independence of our country,
but an attack on the independence of
other countries.

State Court Wipes
Out Reduction in
Utility Co.'S Rates

One hundred cases where the state
utilities commission has ordered pub
lie utilities to reduce their rates from
war levels were invalidated by the
ruling of the state supreme court that
all cases involving utilities or rates
concerning one county must be heard
in that county.
They must be heard only by the
commissioners, assistant commission
ers, or the secretary Of the commits
sion, the court ruled. Heretofore,
practically all hearings have been at
Springfield or Chicago, and experts
connected with the commission have
been allowed to preside.
1t is impossible for seven commits
sioners to hear all cases, the mem
bers point out.

ENGLAND once had the reputation
- for being a land of freedom.
When other European countries had
obnoxious passport systems anybody
could come into England without
much bother. Revolutionists pointed
out that British capitalists would
show its teeth when things began to
look dark; that it would throw off the
mask of democracy and talk abroad in
all its bourgeois nakedness when its
power began to wane and it's wage

shows to what extent the prevailing
capitalist terror of radicalism has hit
Britain. With fascism growing in
England and the police raiding the
homes of British workers, the old
traditional freedom of "Merrie Eng

NEW DIRECTORS
ARE ELECTED

At a meeting of the stockholders
of the First National Bank of Noun
tain Home held in this city the fore
part of the week practically every
member of the old directorate were
reelected. Worth S. Lee rendered his
resignation to his position owing to
the press of other business affairs.
The new board of directors is COM
posed of John F. Gaines, president; /;
o. E. Cannon, vice president and
cashier; Geo. w. Hammond, Ed
Weaver, ]. A. Mccoy of Hammett,
rFaustino Alsola and H, J. Dick, di-
rectors. Mr., Dick was also elected
as assistant cashier
With many of the old timers of
the board of directors reelected it
is certainty that the affairs of the
bank will be conducted along the
same conservative lines of the past
and that an even greater growth
may be expected during the coming
year than has been accomplished in
the past.

LOCAL BANK SHOWS
STEADY GROWTH
Efforts of Those In Charge
of Local Institution Place

Elsewhere in this issue Of the Re-
publican appears a Condensed Com
parative Statement of the condition
of the First National Bank of Noun
tain Home. This statement compares
the condition Of the bank at the close
of business on December 81, 1924.
with the condition of the same insti-
tuition at the opening of the bank
on April l., 1922, after a re-organ-
ization of the. bank which failed
shortly before that time.
In going over the figures in the
comparative report 1t must be taken
into consideration also that the inn
proyement was made during per-
iod of the greatest depression ever
suffered by this particular section
and too much credit cannot be Civ

Of the bank over this dark period

a decrease OF $27S,S26.SO in loans

sets: OF s12,062.57 in real estate and
fixtures; of S4O0 in redemption; and
$37,S09.40 in cash due from other
banks and bankers. In the item of
accrued interest there was a decrease
Of from $4,000 to nothing.

last year over the amount carried in
the first statement in April in 1922.
Bills payable were reduced from

the item OF profit and loss there was
reduction of $12,030.7S.
The fact that this institution has
weathered the storm so well and is
at present in such an excellent inan-
cial basis reflects much credit on the
part OF the present board of direc-
tors and officials and Mountain Home
may well be proud OF this institution
and as a word OF encouragement give
1t all of the local business possible
with the idea that in the next few
years similar increase may be pub

VILLAGE COUNCIL
HOLD MEETING
Resignation of j. A. Whit

man Is Presented and
Accepted

A regular meeting of the Village
Council was held at their headquar-
ters last Tuesday evening. The resig-
nation of J. A. Whitaker as a mem
Der of the board was presented and
accepted. Mr.. Whitaker left this
city some time ago for Glenns Ferry
TO take up his permanent residence
and this move necessitated his re-
tirement from this position. No ap-
pointment was made at Tuesday
evenings meeting to fill the vacancy.
Mrs. Adamek and Mrs. E. W. Lati-
more appeared before the board and
officially presented to the city in
behalf of the Mountain Home Civic
Club, the new gates to the local
cemetery. A vote of thanks was
extended to the ladies organization
for this gift as well as for many
other favors extended to the city dur
ing the past.
The resignation of Mrs. w. B.
Brown as a member Of the Library
Committee was also presented and
accepted. No appointment has as
yet been made to FIJI this vacancy.

BOOTLEGGER HAS
MANY TROUBLES
Serving Time On A Charge
And Is Taken Home To
Be Tried On An
other

The life of bootlegger is not all
serene, according to R. e. Kelly who
had been serving time under gov
ernment charge in the Elmore Coun-
ty Jail, when he was taken back to
Cascade last week end by Sheriff
Diggs.
Kelly, it seems, was the center of
legal battle that was taken up be-
fore the state Supreme Court before
it ended. He was first charged with
bootlegging, and found guilty. His
case attracted state wide attention
as it was taken to the Supreme Court
on the technicality of whether or net
a lady was qualified as a Juror. The
state court ruled that women were
not qualified jurors, consequently the
case would have to be retired.
In the meantime, while the mat
ter was before the judges for rul-
ing, Kelly again resumed his prac-
tice of evading the law and was
found guilty and was serving time
on this charge when he was taken
back to- Cascade to face the original
charge.

Drilling operations at the local
municipal well are forging ahead
rapidly at the present time. It is
reported by the driller that they
have gone through about two hum
dred feet of the lake bed formation.
AS yet artesian water has not been
encountered but it is predicted by
those fostering the enterprise that as
soon as the lake bed formation has
been penetrated the flow will be
struck. The city will be provided
with an excellent source of water
supply in case artesian water is not
found az il is stated that there is
now plenty of water in the well for
municipal use but owing to the fact
that it would have to be pumped
would make It more or less an ex-
pensive proposition.

DEFEATS FERRY
NJ. H. Fl. S. Defeats Glenns
Ferry High School BY a
Slight Margin In Ex-
ira Time

One of the closest games ever
played between Glenns Ferry High
School and Mountain Home High
School was won by the local high at
Glenns Ferry last Friday evening.
The score at the end of the allotted
time for the game stood PAPA and
according to the rules and regula-
tions of basketball five minutes were
added to the game and Mountain
Home won by a score of 28 to 25.
Glenns Ferry played good game
and at the end of the first half the
score stood 1913 in their favor. Their
players had little difficulty in max
ing baskets while Mountain Home
missed try after try in which the
ball would hit the basket but would
roll out.
Mr.. Caldwell of King Hill referred
the game and was fair to both sides
in his decisions.
The line-ups were as follows:
Glenns Ferry High School-for-
wards, Gibbs, Schwartz; center, Or
mum; guards, Dice, Tudor.
Mountain Home High School-for
wards, Monasterio, Davis; center,
Evans; guards, Harley, harrington.
A preliminary was played between
girls teams from Hammett and
Glenns Ferry in which the Glenns
Ferry girls outplayed their oppon-
ents and took the long end of the
score.

EAGLES BOOST
old Age PENSION
Active Interest Taken BY
Fraternal Organization
In the Promotion Of
Legislation in Idaho

For a number of years the Frater-
nau Order of Eagles of this coun-
try have been circulating literature
and sending paid speakers to the
different parts of its jurisdiction in
an effort to educate the people of
this country to the prevailing neces-
sity for an Old Age Pension pro-
vision in our laws.
Education is necessary in order
to get favorable public opinion back
of the legislation when proposing
new legislation, while this district
has not been reached with any no
ticeable active campaign, still in a
modest way an old age pension COM
mittee composed of five members OF
the Order and known as the State
Old Age Pension committee have
done some work the past few months
and at the present time several
members of this committee are in
terviewing members of the legisla-
ture and have met with considerable
encouragement.
The committee is at present franz
ing a duplicate of the bill now in
force in Montana and will have it
introduced in the near future. This.
is really an economy measure as is
shown by the operation of the law
in Montana in the past two years.
A similar law is also in operation in
Pennsylvania, Nevada and Califor-
MIA and is demonstrating that the
people of this country are several
years behind most of the foreign
countries in matters pertaining to
aged people.

TAYLOR CASE
NEXT WEEK
v. L. Taylor To Be Tried In
Probate Court on Insan-
ity Charge-Possi-
bly, Monday

v. L. Taylor, who was arrested
last week on an insanity charge will
very likely be given a hearing in
Judge Manion's Probate Court next
Monday. His trial was to have been
held last Friday but owing to the
inability of his counsel, Attorney
Stafford, of Gooding, to be here at
that time, it was postponed.
This examination into the men
tai condition will be simplified con-
siderably in the Probate Court as
the Probate Judge will have it with
in his power to commit the man to
the insane asylum on the testimony
of expert witnesses, corroborated by
local citizens.
aTaylor's father has been engaged
the greater part of the past week in
packing up the belongings of his son
in his law office here, apparently
getting everythin gready for ship
ment and all indications are now to
the effect that Taylor would leave
this city should he possibly be ac-
Quilted in his next hearing and this
attitude will be received with pub
lie approval should such an unfor-
tunate turn of affairs take place.
