A PLAIN STATEMENT
AND A PROMISE

An honest man doesn't
need laws to make him honest
OF to keep him so.
An honest corporation
does not require laws to make
OF keep it so.
Just what constitutes an
honest man or an honest cor
porstion is more OF less a
matter Of varying opinion.
but it is generally conceded
that a man who treats his
neishbor fairly. taking no I'M
due advantage. asking no eI-
cess Of profit nor misrepre-
sentisg the goods he has to
cling the best goods
he can produce with a fair
margain OF PROFIT to himself
is honest.
Now a corporation is no
more and no less than a man
doing business on a large
scale; and il a corporation
can answer that definition.
then we ought to coneede
that it is an honest corpora.
ton. Such a corporation
doesn't need laws OF coercion
to make il honest OF to keep
it so. And with all due
regard to skeptils. thati, the
kind Of a corporation The
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company
tries to be-claims to be.
1t is now giving the best
service it can produce at a
fair margin Of profit. asking
no excess Of interest on the
money actually invested. (lt
has no bonds and no watered
stock.)
Now. without coercion
and without demand OF law
il makes this promise-that
its rates shall always be as
low as possible consistent
with good service. II the
rates shall at any time pro
duce an excess Of pto6tthey
will be reduced to such a
figure as to return only a lair
rate Of interest on the money
actually invested. Keep this
in mind; it is true, and a
promise from an honest cor
poration.
Did you know that the
Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company has
actually invested in property
$l.l5 for every $l.00 capital
on which it pays INTEREST,"
Your rates pay interest on
the $l,00. not the Sl.l5.

MACKAY BRANCH

Editor L. E. Dillingham; of the
Mackay Miner, and Attorney Chase
Clark came down the last of the
week and spent Sunday in P~ocatello
and Boise.
George Hooper, formerly of Lost
River, is now working for Wayne
Darlington at st. Helens, Oregon. Mr..
Darlington has discovered @ way to
make powder for blasting purposes
that is very powerful and can, only
be exploded in one way. The writer
is not informed just what it is that
sets it off, but like the celebrated
flaminglight match, it has to come
in contact with that certain thing or
tn re is nothing doing. 1t is claimed
for the powder that it is absolutely
safe to handle, as safe as handling
candles, and is one of the high ex-
plosives of the age.
Miss Ruth Baker passed through
Blackfoot Monday on her way from
Salt Lake City to Mackay for a visit.
Arthur Ferris has been back in
Wisconsin for the past month, and
returned to his home at Arco Mon
day.

TAX B DEBATED

On Tuesday evening at the second
ward meeting house there was a de-
bate ON the question, Resolved that
the cash value method is the true way
of making assessment" The affirm
alive was presented by L. R. Thomas
and G. L. Braley, and the negative
by Jas. Duckworth and Jos. H. Cut
Ter.
The affirmative won, the negative
being unable to make a very strong
showing except as it applies to Idaho
under the peculiar conditions made
by the last legislature and the gov
ernor together, passing some special
legislation conforming to existing
customs that were themselves in Vi
olation of the law. Now the gov
ernor refuses to have anything done
that is not in accordance with the
old law even though it Is against the
custom and the new laws he helped
make.
The whole thing was a castigation
of the governor, no matter which
horn of the dilemma they connected
him with.

CASH BASIS FOR BIG FIRM

The Brown-Hart company of Black.
foot hassgone to the cash basis. This
was announced by circular letter to
all their customers on January 80.
This is the largest and one of the
Oldest firms in Blackfoot, and this
move is the result Of a careful study
of the question for a long period.
The principal reason for the
change is that the amount carried
at all times on their books is as
great as the amount invested in goods
on the shelves and in the store rooms,
thereby compelling them to keep
twice as much money invested as
they should have in the business.
They did not organize to do a bank
ing business nor to loan money to
their patrons free of charge. A bank
could not do business that way and
a mercantile company cannot. The
customer who is worthy of credit at
a store can get credit at a bank,
and when we borrow money at a
bank we know just what it is costing
us for interest. When the merchant
borrows money at the bank to carry
a customer, the customer seldom or
never knows, and too often does not
care how long the interest accumu-
lates. Somebody else is bearing the
burden and he lets him bear it..
Interest, bookkeeping, bad debts
collected through attorneys or lost
entirely, constant annoyance of look
ing after collections and providing Sc
curity where needed, the impossible
ity of making close prices and sue
ceeding on small profits, these are
the reasons why a merchant goes to
the cash basis.
When such a change Is made peo-
pie who are in the habit of having
goods charged, will have some little
difficulty to train themselves out of
packages done up when they
have not the money with them. And
offense should be taken If the
salesman does just what they do at
the post office or the express office
Or the railroad depot, keep the goods
until settlement is made. He has his
orders, and the system provides for
nothing else.

NEW SWEET CORN DEVELOPED

Each year brings something new
and one of the most valuable gifts
to humanity in the line of plants is
the development of Burpee's Early
Bantam sweet corn within the past
few years. Besides being an early
sweet corn, it is generally conceded
to be far better than any other kind
yet offered in the markets.
A few families in Blackfoot raised
1t last summer, and found it quick
to grow and develop, very sweet and
rich, and very thin skinned, each
kernel being cased in such a thin
tender covering that it can scarcely be
noticed.
People who raised the corn had
fun with their neighbors about it, for
it has a slight yellow color, and at
sight one is apt to think it is only
a species of field corn such as is
used for the hogs in corn countries,
and it would only be out of polite
ISL or extreme liking for green corn
that they would accept and use it,
but after one meal with it on the ia
BILE, the neighbors would invariably
return to see If they could beg, buy
or steal some. If it was hog corn"
the whole family wanted to be classed
as hogs while it lasted, and it called
to mind the old darkey's saying, "Give
a pig slop onct and he will come back
to de troft."
Most of the seed houses have it
now, and this is a good time to be
ordering for spring planting. Get the
ground ready and begin planting as
early as you think it will do, and
plant a few hills every day, and then
as the corn develops, follow the same
way along the rows and you will have
a few hills just right for use each
day. In this way you can have corn
several weeks, and it will be a lux
ury worth a hundred times the trou-
BILE. 1874
