lege will be reconstructed and a
new basis established for repre-

THE NUB or IT.

when the Rocky Mountain States
Telephone & Telegraph Company
bought the Bell and Independent
telephone companies business, II
also acquired the obligations of
those two companies. The fran
chinses granted TO the Bell COM
pany and the Independent company
are identical in meaning and
phraseology, One of the condi-
tions in each franchise is that in
no case shall the rates charged
for telephone service be higher than
those charged in neighboring towns,
specifying particularly Nampa, Cald-
we'll Payette and Weiser The
r.. NJ. T. & T. co, seeks to avoid |
compliance with that provision by
declaring that It does not need a
franchise 20 do bushcss In En- |
nett. We are not lawyer enough to
know whether or not the companys
contention is true If It is true,
then the law needs fixing. There
is neither justice, or equity in a
statute that permits a corporation
to do that which a private indiyi-
dual Is forbidden TO do-make use of
the streets and alleys as its own
sweet viii dictates
But whether the telephone com
pany needs a franchise to do bust
ness in Emmett or not, the fact
stands out that the Bell. as well
as the Independent. franchise was a
contract pure and simple. In con
sideration OF the city granting to
these companies the use of the
streets and alleys In which to place I
their poles and affording them
police protection, they agreed to
charge no higher rates than those
charged TO neighboring towns. That q
contract has never been ,abrogated Q
lit is as much contract today as
il was when written and agreed to
by the city and the companies. "
The company does not deny that Is
the rates for telephone service at +

Wilson's Message.

"There should be an immediate
revision, and it should be down
ward, unhesitatingly and steadily
downward"
"Our domestic markets no longer
suffice. We need foreign markets
The tariff was once bulwark; now
it is q dam"
These paragraphs are from Wood
row Wilson's speech of acceptance
and our inquiring protectionisi
friends who read 1T will know how
he stands--on the tariff and on other
public questions, His declaration Of
principles is a splendid one, and Of
particular interest to opposing mindf
as coming from the man who will
probably be the next president OF
the United States
Now that the country has again
passed safely through another crisis
in anticipation of what the Demo
cratic candidate might say on the
subject of the tariff, the drums Of
the opposition may be silent for
awhile. The country tires of the
perpetual cry, " free trade and
ruin" which follows the merest sug-
gestion of change in the tariff by
other than it's exclusive beneficiaries
and no one-not even the heaters ID
the observation-disclosures the nonsense.
I'VE stand in the presence of an
awakened nation, impatient of par
tisan make-believe," says Governor
Wilson, and there are reasons fol-
his abundant faith.
