CORPORATION WARS
WITH CONSUMERS
City Of Pocatello Resorts to
Courts and Company Shoots
at Officer Serving Papers

POCATELLO, Aug. 21.-Defance
OF, the courts order and an attempt
to shoot the officer commissioned to
serve 1t, brought a climax today to
the feeling that has been running
high throughout the summer over the
alleged high handed methods Of the
Pocatello Water company against the
consum ers
While attempting to serve an in
junction at the reservoir today,
Deputy Sheriff James Francis was
fired on by Superintendent Winter
This so incensed the citizens that they
organized an armed posse, $50 strong,
and marched to the company's plant.
There they arrested the defenders of
the company's plant and were offered
but feeble resistance.
Todays conflict followed the is
suance Of restraining order made
by Judge Bulge, following repre-
sentation to him that the city was
practically without fire protection
Owing to the water company's hav-
ing shut off the supply of water. The
injunction restraints the company
from further interference with the
city's water supply. In asking for
the order, the city set forth tho fact
that Superintendent Winter was
mentally irresponsible.

The Triumph OF Graft

Morally, and in a physical sense,
too, one of the most tragic chapters
in the rectn political history of this
country suddenly closed in San Fran
cisco when the notorious graft cases
were dropped.
II the big crooks who were accused
of bribing public officials during the
Schmitz and Reuf regime are to &c
free, then the work of Heney and
Burns and the men who aided them
is to count for nothing, and the
quicker the curtain is rung down on
this infamous chapter in California S
history the better it will be.
1t is an ugly record. The courts
have allowed shrewd lawyers to play
hide and seek with the law. Men
have committed suicide out of sheer
shame. Some of them are fugitives
from justice. Witnesses have been
speeded away Efforts have been
made to assassinate Heney because
of his fight against wholesale and or
ganized corruption.
And after all these things have
shamed California the state must be
further shamed by the confession tina,
1t is not able to convict men known
to be guilty because evil spirits In
San Francisco have spirited away the
witness upon whom the state de-
pended for conviction. After all per-
haps 1t is a fit. ending for a char ter
which reeks with so much that is
criminal and unclean. 1t is great
triumph for graft and grafters.-

CAMPAIGN FOR ECONOMIC EN-
PENDITURE

The question of what issues are
to he vital in the municipal campaign
is rapidly asserting itself and the
candidates are responding to the de-
mands of the people to know just
what they may expect in the way of
administration after the campaign
has determined who will conduct the
business affairs Of the city. The
problem of economic expenditure is
one of the chief of these and the
Herald is pleased to find it is having
wide discussion in the publicity of
the candidates are giving to their
views.
II is well, too, to remember that
economic expenditure does not mean
retrogression. There is 10 be no

RELIGION AND POLITICS

municipal campaign of much vi
tai interest TO the citizens Of North
Yakima is now in progress and the
earlier stages of the canvass have
developed a controversy to how far
the church may go in giving aid to the
cause of good government. In other
words can religion and politics mix
without fear of contamination and
work for the social uplift of the
community Unquestionably they
can and the politics that cannot
mix with religion for the purposes
named is the kind of politics that
the commission form of government
Is designed to eliminate.
There is the politics of graft and
freed; the politics of evasion of duty
md the shifting Of responsibility;
he politics that aims at control for
sel1sh ends and personal preferment,
and politics such as this has moth
ing in common with religion and has
no lessons it cares to learn from the
pulpit On the other hand there is
the politics of good government, the
greatest good for the greatest num-
her, the politics of law enforcement
and the square deal; politics that
calls for and encourages the awak-
ening of the public conscience, all
objects and ends in common with the
best things in religion measured from
its humanitarian standpoint.
The church as a factor in the social
uplift cannot escape its opportunities
and responsibilities for working for
the civic bctterment Of the commune
ity. Christian citizenship is the
backbone Of civic righteousness. and
the church can he and should he an
important factor in building mp the
community through every point Of
contact that makes for public inn
provement

view taken by Dr Boardman and
other writer's in the forum who hold

Recall Petition is Short

SEATTLE, Aug. 21.--A check of
the petition for recall of Mayor Dill
ing was completed today with the re-
suit of the 1929 names on petition
when it was filed only 1851 were
found valid. This is 2S18 names short
of the Necessary number. This diff
terence will probably be lessened by
the ruling made by the corporation
counsel today that a liberal interpre-
tation must be placed on the law re-
gording the checking of signatures

must not be thrown out for minor
mistakes. The recall leaders express
the belief that they will be able to
make up the deficit In the ten days

ton of the affairs of the city, but
with the thought in mind that there
shall be progress without extrava-
gance and expenditure without
waste. This can be done under a
business administration and the cit
liens materially benefited. Such an
as conservatively progressive and
such a course will marke the line of
true progress for the city as it will
avoid the pitfall and inevitable reac-
ton which has always marked the
history of boom towns and wildly
speculative tendencies.
In the light of this the utterances
apt and suggest that they have care

are prepared to act along the lines of
their settder convictions. A. ].
Splawn, who is a candidate for may

IAN honest administration in which
needed improvements shall be secured
as economically as possible, and
where the peoples money as well as
their interests shall be guarded Eff
ficient helpers at reasonable wages are
to be employed but without graft or
waste of the public money"
Along the same lines William Red
man, candidate for commissioner,
says: II shall stand solidly against the
almost riotous expenditure of the peo-
pies money which has been going on
for a number of years. This does not
mean that all improvements shall
cease, but means that the improve
ments will continue as most need ed
and within the financial ability of the
citizens to pay them and not the prac-
teal confiscation of property in dis
den"
The same phase of the matter is
touched upon by Wilbur Croker,
who says: II believe in pressing for
ward in these matters as rapidly as
possible consistent with the resources
at our command for every improve
ment made raises the standard of our
city both morally and materially
These expressions fully set out the
idea of progression along conservative
and well defined lines, a progression
that still progresses and leaves no
pitfalls beca use it is based upon lines
of material and substantial progress
