Honesty of Railroads.

About year ago, The Index
received a consignment of paper
from Portland. The shipment was
one bundle of print paper short
when it arrived in Emmett. A
claim for shortage, amounting to SO
wal filed with the Idaho Northern
but no settlement has ever been
made and the prospects are that
none ever will be. Of course,
suit could be brought against the
company, but what good would it
do? The Idaho Northern would
place the blame on the Short Line
and the Short Line would blame
the Idaho Northern. Nevertheless,
the Idaho Northern collected
freight on that lost bundle. Why
should not railroad corporations be
as honest in their dealings with
their patrons as business houses are?
Why should not they be bound
by the same rules of fairness that
private individuals are? 1t is
about time that Idaho passed laws
that will put stop to the extor-
tionate and dishonest practices Of
the railroads in this state.

Into the cage of this beast, at the

made for him, and then, with palms
cut and eyes fixed, he walked slowly
