the commission would restore the old
rates and, we believe, in many cases
lower them. There is no sense in the
people calmly accepting whatever pub
lie service corporation care to give
them. A strong, concerted protest
often gets relief. If the state had a
commission to investigate and finally
regulate the relief would result as the
right of the people rather than from
the charity of the corporations.
In considering the creation of the
commission the legislature should
bear in mind at all times that the right
to do business has been given by the
people; the value of the property of
the corporations results from the peo-
pie; and finally that there is no legal,
moral or political reason why the
people should not protect themselves.

A MAGAZINE INNOVATION.

With the December number Of the
American Magazine the publishers
break away from convention and offer
the magazine in size larger than THE
regular monthly, and smaller than the
home magazines. The margins are
narrow and the illustrations in color
show great thought and effort.
The chief innovation is in mixing
advertising and reading matter. Here
tofore the reader would run through
the reading matter and delve into the
pages and pages of ads in the back;
now he finds pictures of wonderful
hose and lingerie, autos and toys,
cameras, razors. and pens--Aowing in
endless stream along side articles of
interest and stories that hold the at
tention.
It's all up to the people If they
like, it, The American Magazine will
reap big reward, The people are
the rulers absolute.

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS ouT.oF-
aesa DOORS,

December and January. are not pop
ular months. Their penetrating winds
are called sour and churlish by q
steam heated generation.
The man who lives close to nature
knows better. There are suggestions
both of power and of peace in the
landscape and the silence Of late
autumn twilight.
The spring-time with its bird songs,
its voices of labor, conveys its restless
ideas of frolic, of motion. of struggle.
and of toll The stiffness of an autumn
twilight is the peace Of warfare ac-
complished, of achievement conclud-
ed. The old earth has gathered to-
gether its forces. and waits in supreme
confidence the onslaughts of the
North wind.
The leafless tree lacks the flicker
beauty OF spring. But its firm. articu-
lation against glowing sky suggests
well ordered power. Seen in a ma a.
from a distance, under the dull grey
brown. suggestive Of reserve strength.
Silent peace fills the heart Of the
traveller as he draws homeward
through the crisp landscape. There
IS wine in the air, there is spring in
the foot-step. and silence of nature is
not that of decay, but of fruition and
preparation for future re-birth.

EASY TO STOP THE coBBI1Nc

ABOUT every six or seven mo,.h.
the people become greatly frightened
lest the power trust gobble up all the
available power sites in the country
When Mr.. Clifford Pinchot was chief
forester bulletin was issued about
every ten days from the department Of
agriculture deploring past encroach-
menfs and warning the people
OF future dangers. A great
many people are afraid that
SPECTATORS will get these power
sites and by turning them over to the
so-called power trust create monon-
oily from which there will be NO re-
lief. 1t seems to us that there is a
very simple method of handling the
SPECTATOR in power sites. Why not
tax him to death? Let the state en-
gineer make an accurate estimate of
the horse power capacity of being
developed at the different sites upon
which it proposed to erect power
plants. Then let the state tax on the
basis of the power available without
regard to whether or not it is utilized.
This would do away with makeshift
plants erected solely for the purpose
of holding title. Property owners Of
the Pioneer Irrigation District will
remember that the board of directors
did very much the same thing with
very beneficial results. The landowner
who did not use water for irrigation
purposes was taxed the same as though
he did. This encouraged the people
to cultivate their holdings or sell
them to persons who would. The
company owning power site would |
either have to develop the maximum
horse power or sell to somebody
who would.
We believ the people Of Idaho want |
ali the power developed that the
streams and rivers can furnish. Wei
want no trust and neither do we want |
SPECTATORS. Taxation will easily stop
the gobbling up of power sites or anyI
other natural resource.

COUNTY DIVISION MErHoDs

There should be a change in the
methods by which the counties of the
state are divided when division be-
comes necessary, DESTROYS or even
wanted. As with all other kinds of
legislation few county divisions are
effected by the legislature nine-tenths
of the membership being uninterested
and uniformed as to the reasons for
the division or the desires of the tax
payers of the county which is to be
cut in twain. The legislature has full
power to create new counties. How
ever, when it is proposed to take .
portion of one county and add it to
another a vote of the county is neces-
sary. This should be the case where a
division of q county in order to create
anotheKr county is proposed. The tax
payers Of the county should decide
whether the county should be divided
or not. They are the interested par
ties. They are called upon to meet
the extra taxes and the additional ex-
penses. At present county division
schemes are the results of the ambi-
tons of enterprising towns. A town
thinks it would prosper If it were the
seat of county government. If by
hook or crook this town is able to
convince the legislature which at best
is indifferent the new county is cree
ated in order to accommodate the en-
terprising community. The welfare
of the other towns in the
county and of the farmers in the
county is very seldom considered. II
the matter could be left to a vote the
true sentiment Of the people Of the
county would be ascertained at once.
This method would also relieve the
legislature of lot of work. We be-
lieve it would also clarity the atmos-
phere in and around Boise during the
session of the legislature.
The people of the county to be d.
vided are deeply interested. They
must pay the cost. To them should
De left the ultimate decision. They
know the conditions. They also
know the motives for the creation Of,
the new county. y s.
Canyon county will have a county
division fight on during the session Of
the legislature. Without entering into
the merits of the fight one way or the
other we believe that it is safe to saw
that the people of Canyon county are
better qualified to decide as to what
IS to their interests than the member.
OF the legislature. At any rate thew
know what they want and are willing
to pay for il. The realization of their
wants may or may not be the best
thing tor them, but as they are willing
to pay the bill why not let them make
the decision. The same thing is equal
~ true OF every county in Idaho. The
people living in any county know
what is best to their interests.
