TO PREVENT DISCRIMINATION
In SALE OF MILK AND CREAM

A bill was introduced IN the houke
on the End by Alfred and Nielsen
of this county, to prevent unlawful
discrimination in the sale of milk
cream and butter fat. 1t reads as
follows:
"Ihat any person, firm, co-part-
nership or corporation engaged in
the business of buying milk, cream
or butter fat for the purpose OF
manufacture who shall with the in
tention of creating a monopoly OF
destroying the business of a compe-
tltor, discriminate between different
sections, localities, communities OF
cities of this state by purchasing
such commodity at higher price Oh
rate in one locality than is paid fol
the same commodity by said person
firm, co partnership or corporation
in another locality after making dn'
allowance for the difference, if any
in the actual cost of transportation
from the locality of purchase TO th
locality of manufacture, shall b
deemed guilty of unfair discrimina
ton and upon conviction thereo
shall be punished by a fine not ex
ceeding $500, or by Imprisonment
IN the county Jail not to exceed 81
months.

A souvenir In the form of a small
bell, cut from blue card board, was
presented TO each gentleman upon
entering the hall.
The southeast corner of the hall
was converted into IA cozy corner u
with sofa, pillows, chairs and table
and telephone receiver.
Over two hundred couples were In
attendance, and from the time the
grand march was called at $3.50 until
d last strains OF the sHome Waltz

GRAZING EXAMINERS
FOR NATL FORESTS

I Washington, Feb. 3.-A new
government position is disclosed by
the announcement by the u. $.
civil service commission of an ex-
animation which will be held Feb
ruary 23 and "a to find three graz
ing examiners for the forest service.
The positions will pay a salary of
81 200 a year at entrance.
The announcement specifics that
the applicants must be men, at
least twenty years old, and possess
cd of at least one seasons expert
ence in handling range stock, to-
gether with at leaet one year of
technical training in specified bot
anical studies.
Ever since the forest service took
over the management of the nation.
al forests, it has been studying the
range problem along with its regu-
latlon of grazing. In the begin
nlng it was confronted with the fact
that very large part of the range
had been badly abused and depleted
through the competition of rival
owners before any restrictions had
been put upon them, and by over
crowding and bad methods of hand
ling stock. Its supporting power
had IN consequence been greatly
3 reduced, and was steadily declining
To enable overgrazed areas TO re
cuperate, and to prevent the exten
sion of overgrazed conditions to new
areas, The amount of stock to be al
lowed on the forests was everywheft
carefully prescribed. The result
were then observed, and if it ap
peared that there was still oyer-us.

ted were cut down sill futher. Oh

at will be necessary for the coun-
ttll to get busy within the next two
weeks and set the machinery in mo-
tion for the coming city election,
which will be held this year on
Tuesday, April 4th, by appointing
registrar for each of the three
wards, and other election officers.
The law requires separate regis
tration of all voters for each city
election, and requires that "the reg
istrars shall be at their respective
places of registration on the four
Saturdays next preceding the day of
election.
This means that the registration
books must open on Saturday,
March 4th and close on Saturday
night, March %.
As the Office of city clerk is an
important one, and the business of
this city has grown TO such proper
tions that it requires great deal Of
the clerks time to properly attend
TO it, the Examiner suggests that the
offices Of clerk and police judge be
combined, and the salary be fixed
at such figure as will make it an
inducement for thoroughly COM
petent man to seek the Office of clerk
and give it proper attention.
The city clerk now receives $500
. year and the police jdudge $loo.
We believe that it would be econo-
my for the city to combine these
two offices and make the salary of
the clerk at least 5000 year. If
this is done it will be necessary for
the present council to pass an ordi-
nance combining the Offices and fix
ing the salary, before the may or
issues his election proclamation.

SOME SUGGESTIONS
ON CITY GOVERNMENT
Offices of City Clerk and Police Judge Should be
Consoldated-Registration for City Election
will Begin March 4.

| \ 1t has also been suggested that
the positions of road overseer and
superintendent of water works be
combined and a reasonable salary
allowed one man to attend to this
work. From now OH the duties Of
superintendent of writer works will
not be so arduous but what one man
can easily discharge those duties in
connection with those of road over
seer, and this officer should be al
lowed a salary whish will warrant
him giving his entire time to the
work. However, as these are both
appointive offices, this is matter
for the new administration to CT n.
slider.
Another question which the new
administration should take up is
that of purchasing suitable safe in
which to keep the city records. The
safe could be placed in the building
used for fire station, as all council
meetings are now held there, and
the records kept there.
The records are now scattered
about the town. Some are in City
clerk Ryan's office, some in City
Attorney Glenn's Office some, in the
fire station and some-well, we
guess nobody knows where they
are.
1t often happens that at meet
ing of the council it becomes neces-
sary to refer to the old records and
as it is now when some book or
paper 10 wanted, it is necessary to
hunt them up.
It is also essential that the city
records should be kept in a safe, as
protection against loss IN the case
of fire.

Texan Automobile Railroad.

Texas used to claim the distinction
of having the first automobile rafl-
road. Five cars used to make regu.
lar trips on a three-hour schedule oyeT
the 45 miles between Lubbock and
Hale counties. The line had q pri-
Vate right of way fenced on as for a
railway, and Its roadbed was worked
by settion hands to this extent-it
was kept scooped free Of sand. The
drivers this In the sense in which
the English use the word) were cow
boys in blue overalls and large felt
hats. They were required to make
the 45 miles In three hours because
the line carried United States mail
and was under contract to keep a
schedule. Often the cars would clip
an hour of that for good measure
The round trip fare for so miles Was
$40.

The railroad commission bill,
which was introduced in the house
last week, 10 one of the most vol.
luminous measures ever submitted
in an Idaho legislature, filing over
80 closely typewriter pages. The
bill 10 fathered by Grow of Ada and
Smith Of Lincoln county.
The bill is copied largely from
the Washington state law and is
said to be too drastic in some feA-
tures toipuit even Frank r. Good
ing, who has made the railroad
commission his hobby for the past
Six years or more.
The bill provides for the ap-
pointment of three members by the
governor and this commission will

press, telegraph and telephone CON-
panies, win regulate the conduct,
management, rates, tolls, equip.
ment, facilities and operation Of
these companies so that among
otter things discrimination and
extortiOn in charges may be pre-.
vanted and raaaonable and inst
freight and passenger rates may be
established. The commission will
have the power 10 regulate the sale
Of railroad tickets, to correct and
provide charges for hauling loaded
or empty cars, proper traCkage,
proper train service and aufEicien,
freight and passenger rooms.
Not only docs this commission
have absolute power to do al Of th'
things above mentioned, but it will
be able 70 arrange for just and rea
sonable joint rates rand demurrag'
charges, provide for proper equip
ment, safety devices and appliances
for railroad, telephone and tels
graph confpanies and for the In
spection Of all these. The bill als'
will give to the commission th'
power 20 provide for the prope

throughout the state. The com
mission will alsO provide proPe
