CONTEM MPT CHARGED
IN INSURANCE QUIZ
Refusal to Produce Companies
Stock Lists Up to District
Attorney for Action.

The refusal of r. W. Power, GUS
todian of the stock lists of the Com
mercial and First National Fire In
surance Companies, to furnish the
House insurance investigating COM
mittee with these lists, today is up to
District Attorney Wilson for action.
Congressman Prouty, representing the
Committee which recently closed the
Insurance investigation. called the al
legged contempt of Mr.. Power to the at
tention of the House late yesterday az
ternoon. Following the custom in such
cases. the House referred the matter
to the District Attorney for such ac-
ton as he may deem proper.
Acted On Advice.
Mr.. Power declined to furnish the
stock lists of the insurance companies
on advice Of counsel. Attorneys for the
company held that 1t was beyond the
jurisdiction of Congressional commit
tee to PRIV into the private affairs of
stockholders OF corporations of this
character and that the request was not
pertinent to the insurance inquiry ar
fecting the two companies and the office
of the Superintendent Of Insurance OF
the District.
When he appeared before the commit
tee Mr.. Power said he understood fully
and attorneys fo- the companies indf-
Gated the case would be carried to the
highest court in the event action Is
taken against Mr.. Power for contempt.
The House adopted without debate
Mr.. Prouty's motion to cite Mr.. Power
for contempt, Congressman Prouty
said:
Stand of Prouty.
MIR. Speaker, rise to make a privil-
eyed report from the subcommitte ap-
pointed under House resolution 756, for
the investigation of the affairs Of the
Commercial Fire Insurance Company,

many, ct al, said resolution having been
passed by the House on the 18th day OF
December, 1912.
This report shows that r. w. Power
was called as a witness, duly sworn,
and refused to testify to matters that
the committe deems pertinent TO the In
quiry. A full and complete copy Of
the record is set out in this report. I
therefore move that the Speaker Of the
House be instructed to certify this mat
ter to the district attorney of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, pursuant to sections
102, 103, and 104 of the Revised Statutes
of the United States. for action thereon
by the District Attorney as by statute
provided. and ask that this report and
the Endorsement Of the Speaker be

AUTOS IN PARK THIS SEASON
Prospect That Part of Roads i'm yell
lOwstOne Will Open to Autos.

Idaho Falls, Bonneville county and
all other interested sections in the
valley will have to take a renewed
interest in the proposed national
highway through this section to the
Yellowstone National park, as the lat
est word Is that in all probability a
part OF the park will open to auto
mobiles this season, as favorable re-
port from the engineers in charge has
been received by the Idaho delegation
In congress.
There is little question about the
ultimate result and it may be only a
matter of until next season until ar
rangements will be completed for the
opening of all the roads in the park
to the popular mode of travel
In that case the highway to the park
through this section of the country
would be the most travelled road in
the country and the traffic will grow
greater as the number of automobiles
increase and the roads get better.
Idaho Falls will become the great re-
lay or final resting place for cars en-
tering the park by the highway, and
the first stop this side of the park for
overnight travellers. Garages, hotels
and all business will be improved as a
consequence and hundreds of people
Will have an opportunity of seeing the
valley at its very best, from the mid
die Of June to the first of October

ABOLISH TAXES IN IDAHO
Unique Plan Proposed by a Banker at
State Convention,

Senator D. w. Davis, president of
the First National Bank of American
Falls, astonished his hearers at the
state bankers association being held
at Weiser this week when he proposed
plan which IL worked out would
make Idaho nO-tax state.
He advocated in his paper a distri-
button of the states resources in the
way he outlined that fund could be
created sufficiently large that the in
terest from its investment would pay
all the taxes of the state and that all
public expense of every kind would be
cared for by the proposed fund.
In discussing his plan the banker
stated that the state owned and con-
trolled millions of acres of land, which
If put under the control Of cOmpe-
tent commission could be so handled
that the fund created would care for
the public expenses.
Mr.. Davis told of what has been ac-
complished by the cultivation of sew
eral hundred thousand acres of dry
farm land around American Falls and
cited that as an example of what can
be done on a much larger scale and
said that he hoped that the plan would
be put in shape by the meeting of the
next legislature.-Idaho Falls Regis

Editor Times,
Dear Sir:-Manifest destiny has

ing are some of the symptoms.
still long to go back to dear Idaho,
unexcelled for it's grain and hay;
don't like it here, where so much of
the. year l can't earn a dollar a day.
To south Idaho, where the big rivers
flow, the land of red apples galore
where climate, water and good soil
combine to produce each year more
and more. Maybe l am crazy, nv
ideas hazy, yet one thing quite GER
tain | know, that water down here is
both scarce and dear since their riy-
ers don't rise in the snow.
Then why should we folks of Twin
Falls repine, though our lives at most
are but brief; though robbed by the
"Slow Line" for many a year, there
must come day of relief. Yes, come
1t shall, day decreed by fate. How
my heart rejoices as anticipate day
when that imperious o. s. L. shall
bend its stiff-necked tyrants prone in
dust, their robbery at an end.
Should 0. G.. Zuck, J. A. Walters or
any other members of the farmers
union or the Commercial club desire
to render the above lines at public
functions, they should remember that
the words have been set to the air
(cyclone) that recently made such a
decided hit in Omaha.

CALLS IRRIGATION COMMISSION
Governor Summons Securities Board
to Meet Wednesday.

Governor Haines has issued a call
for meeting of the recently ap-
pointed state irrigation securities
commission, to be held in his office
on June 1S~at 10 o'clock, Wednesday
morning. The commission is COM
posed of ]. E. Clinton and o. o. Haga
of Boise, ]. M Thompson of Caldwell
and Fred w. Hastings of Wendell, and
Paul S. A. Bickel of Twin Falls.
The meeting at this time is for the
purpose of organization. 1t is not eX-
pected that much will be done at
present. The law under which the
commission was created is for the
purpose of declaring what changes are
necessary in order to give the best
possible credit and standing to irri-
cation bonds based on projects in Ida
no, and for the general purpose of
devising ways and means to better
promote the development of irriga-
tion resources and cognate public en-
terprises. To do this it Is suggested
in the law that the commission shall
ascertain whether 1t is possible to de-
wise a form of contract which will
result in making irrigation bonds
more valuable and more secure, while
at the same time preserving and pro-
tecting the rights of the settlers and
the home builders. The law also pro-
vides that the commission shall re-
port its findings and conclusions to
the next legislature, with recomMen-
dations as to proper legislation jsta
meet the needs of the occasion. Y.
1t is not expected that the commits
sion will make any immediate report,
although there has been feeling ex-
pressed that If that body should reach
speedy conclusion as to an adequate
remedy for the difficulties under
which the state is now suffering, that
an effort would be made to have the
governor call special session of the
legislature for the enactment of the
proposed laws.-Statesman.
