Electricity is indestructible. 1t can
not be used up or destroyed. 1t is a
mistake to think that electricity is
consumed and burned up in the cleo
trio light bulb like kerosene in an oil
lamp. Electricity is not burned and
consumed in an electric range like
coal in the kitchen stove. The cleo
tricity which returns to its original
source after its work is done is no
different than it was when it left. It
is the working energy of electricity
which is consumed, just as it is the
energy of falling water which is util
lied to turn a water wheel, and not
the water itself. Just as much water
escapes from the tailrace of water
power plant as enters the headgates.
Just as much electricity flows back
to the battery or dynamo as started
over the circuit.

TO HELP THE SMALL FARMER.

(From the indianapolis News.
Through the grace of one bright
checked Kansas peach President Rip
ley of the Santa Fe system has been
converted to cooperation between the
railroad and the small farmer. 1t is
related that Mr.. Ripley one morning
paid 8 cents each for peaches on the
Kansas City market. That afternoon
at siding in central Kansas he saw
an old woman driving by with load
of peaches better looking than those
on sale at Kansas City The woman
explained that the peaches were des-
tined for the hogs; that nobody would
buy the peaches in small quantities
such as her orchard produced-so
them to the pigs. Now Mr.. Ripley
is causing to be scattered throughout
the IL states in which the Santa Fe
operates circulars explaining to the
farmers that the railroad wishes to
cooperate with them in gathering
and marketing odd lots of vegetables
and fruits.
The plan is to obtain from the
farmers an idea as 10 the proposed
truck and orchard yield, then send
refrigerator cars through the districts
collecting quantities at the various
stations and then speeding the loaded
cars to the most desirable market
Mr.. Ripley has found that the farm
ers in the Santa Fe territory long
ago gave up in disgust all thought of ,
raising vegetables or fruits for profit.
Unless they raised them in quantities
of great size and unless they were
humble enough TO attract the con-
descension of the commission buyers, |
their by-products Of fruit and vege- !
tables went to waste. So they desid-
ed to play the whole game with wheat
or corn or oats; better run chances
of defeat at the elevator than have t
the bother of getting rid of small J
stuff. a
Whether the Santa Fe's scheme will ,
work remains TO be seen. 1t is a ?
hopeful sign, certainly. The Santa |
Fe should not only be able to promote d
a big fruit and vegetable industry in
its - states, but it should also make
more money itself This latter prob {
ability may appeal to other railroads. Y
Why could not the attempt be made S
in Indiana and illinois and Ohio h
What is good for Kansas should be q
good for US; what is business for the a
Santa Fe should appeal as business to y
the many roads that operate in this
and other excellent farming territory.

A rancher near Middleton, term
ing himself a sagebrusher, asks some
very pertinent questions in regard
to taxes in communication in the
Middleton Herald. He says: "If you
can't pay your taxes what are you
going to do? Pay the 20 per cent
interest as suggested in the notice
sent out by the tax collector? Why
not let them go delinquent, because it
does not make any difference whether
we pay the running expenses of the
county in the way of an interest
charge or by direct tax assessment.
1t all goes into the same hole. There
are no more tax sales of property in
this state under the present law, in
which event the county secures the
property when we let it go delinquent.
Now, why not have the governor call
special session of the legislature
and have the interest rate raised from
29 per cent to 100 per cent, refund
ali Iie taxes anu MAKE Ine running |
expenses of the county out of the
interest. We could then discharge
the assessor and the deputies and in
stall a slot machine where taxpayers
could come and deposit their interest
money when they could get it, and
get receipt by the automatic device.
We can then boast of state without
a tax collector and no taxes"

NOT GUILTY.

Just now an effort is being made to
have the Canyon county commission
ers take the county fair off of Cald-
wells hands and run it at county e1.
pense One Of the arguments adj
vanced is that the "Payette valley is
elamoring for it,"
If there is any pronounced senti-
ment in the Payette valley in favor
Of such scheme, we have been UNI
able 10 locate it up to the hour of
going 10 press. There is no question
but that the county fair is a valuable
and worthy institution. 1t has become
such big affair that it is more than
Caldwell is able to handle. From a
financial standpoint it has been a
failure, although it has had as man
ayers the very best executive and
business ability the county seat af-
fords. What the result would be if
the county were to take charge of it
is something awful to contemplate,
One thing is sure, county management
would be no Improvement
Those jealous ones who are agitat-
ing county ownership and manage
ment have been misled if they think
the Payette valley is in favor of sad
ding the expense of maintaining the
fair upon the county. Especially is
this true at this time when the burden
of taxation is exceedingly heavy.
We don't believe the county COM
missioners will be so foolish as to
even consider such proposition.
