BULLS EYE
I tee where some o f the Foreign
Nations say they are going to
FCJND their debt to America,
and all the Papers are all excited
about it. But the B U L L 'S E Y E
is a Paper that never misleads
our readers (either one of them).
I'T N D IN G a debt means about
the same thing as having a fellow
that has owed you for years, como
to you and say “ I am going to
make arrangements to take up
that loan I owe you just as soon
as I can collect it from some fel­
lows u h o owe m e.” So don’ t
by any means get F U N D IN G
mixed up with P A Y IN G . T h e
two have nothing in common.
These Nations are just stalling
until another W ar comes along
and the first thing you know our
debt will be four W ars behind.
W e have enough saved up to
fight again, but they are using it
now to enforce Prohibition.
O h ,yes, " B U L L ” D U R H A M .
I like to forgot to mention that.

N a tio n s are p a y in g us in.

It would mean much to this
section and to the entire Snake
vJley should Snake ri.er be
canalized from its mouth at
Pasco, Wash., to Shoshone Falls,
a< is proposed by the govern
ment This would mean greatly
reduced freight rates and more
accessibility to markets. And
that is all the Snake valley
need: to make ,t ths wr at' t
little producing sedioli in i! s
country. We have got the fertile
soil, the tquabte climate and the
men who know how to produce
the stuff. With freight rates
cut in half, or even lower, thus
insuring the farmer a fair re­
turn for his labor and invest
ment, ti e amount of produce
that could be raised here is
almost incalculable. At the
present time there is little
incentive to raise big crops, for
in most cases the h'gh freight
rates eat up the differ» nee be­
tween the cost of production and
the price received by the pro
ducer.
With a river freight
rate to tidewater this situation
would be materially changed.
