WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE
EXPOSURE?

The editor OF the Moscow Post was
member of the last legislature. He
was in the senate. Toward the close
of the legislature the Post promised
its readers some very interesting
reading along the line of an exposure
of the ways of the Idaho legislature.
Since the adjournment of the legis-
lature the Post has been publishing a
series of articles on the legislature.
The data are supposed to be taken
from diary kept by the Latah coun-
ty senator. The Tribune has kept
close tab on the diary as published
but to date has not experienced a
single, solitary thrill let alone any
great excitement. We expected to see
graft and corruption exposed. We
thought that some new light was to
be shed upon the ways of the legsla-
ture. Not new thing came to light.
The Post fluked. 1t didn't have the
goods or is afraid to give them to
ZIG PuDilN. HC LII 81 dl llSlC SOHldlIl-
tanned the brilliant remarks Of a
southeastern member of the legisla-
ture who voted for the colored jani-
tor of the state house for United
States senator. These remarks had
already appeared in half the papers
of Idaho several weeks before they
were published in the Moscow paper.
The other articles were dribbling,
trifling affairs, the purport of which
was that support for one measure
was traded for support for another
and that Senator John w. Hart was
powerful man in the legislature. AS
the people of Idaho have known for
at least twenty years that measures
are traded upon in the legislature and
that the Latah county delegation was
already for barter; and further that
John w. Hart is some man wherever
he is; they cannot be expected to
get very excited over getting the
news" at this time.
AS matter of fact Senator Shields
came down to Boise with the idea of
raising the very dickens. He was 60
ing to set world on fire. The legisla-
ture did not care for any pyrotechnic
displays, having more serious bust
ness to attend to, and gracefully sat
down upon him. He was squelched
in the beginning and nursed a crouch
throughout the session. He imagin-
ed that he had something on some
body or other but when it came to
putting his finger either on the thing
or the person he could not do so.
After vain effort he abandoned the
the enterprise. He is now sensibly
devotng the space formerly utilized
tor the exposure in publishing the
laws enacted. He is again become the
sane, sensible man of affairs that he
usually is.

THE APPOINTMENTS MADE

The Tribune is not entirely pleased
with the personnel of the new public
utilities commission. Personally the
members are splendid men and there
are none TO gainsay their competen-
cy. The training, experience and as
sociations of the men are the things
that cause grave concern to arise
in the minds Of many persons. The
three men truly and distinctly repre-
sent big business interests, although
we admit in the better sense. There
is moi one cf them who has that SYM
pathy with the common people which
should be the characteristic Of them
all.
The public utilities commission was
created in response to a well defined
public sentiment While it is right
and proper that capital should be pro-
tected and no unnecessary burden or
inconvenience be placed upon public
corporations, the commission is sup
posed to represent the people. At
least that it what it should do. 1t is
not an impartial tribunal in the sense
that the courts are 1t will have to
take the initiative in correcting abus-
es and the law creating the commits
sion clearly authorizes it to do so.
In fact the law contempates, and the
people desire, that this commission
schall regulate public service corpor-
ations, that the rights and interests
OF the people may be protected. If
this be the correct view of the func-
tons of the commission then men
well known to sympathize with and
understand the viewpoint of the COM
mon people should have composed
the body. The public service corpor-
atoms still have left the means of Sc
curing their rights in case they were
violated. The regulations adopted,
the rules employed and the decisions
rendered will still be subject to re-
view by the courts.
The members OF the commission
are all business men and have been
for many years. Their sympathies are
with the business interests. The in
terests of bankers are always to
more or less extent involved in the
interests Of the large corporations.
Bankers finance corporations and fire.
quently own their stocks and bonds.
After many years of close associa-
tons with these corporations it is an
extraordinary man who can imme-
diately change his point of view. So
far as we are able to gather none of the
commissioners is extraordinary. Not
one of them has particularly distin-
guished himself They are simply
average business men
Notwithstanding our views in the
premises we trust that we are mis-
taken. We hope that the commits
sioners will justify the faith placed |
in them by Governor Haines. The
people mold no amnesty against the |
men and are vitality interested in the
success OF the law and the commits
sion. AS the success OF the Haines |
administration depends in large
measure upon the success of our first |
public utilities commissions he must
be credited with having exercised his
best judgment in making the appoint
ments.

PRESIDENT PREPARING
STATEMENT ON MEXICO
Wilson Will Inform the World of the
United States Policy in a
Short Time.

Washington, Nov. 13.--It was official
ly announced yesterday that President
Wilson viii issue a statement soon de.
timing the policy OF this government to-
ward Mexico. No definite time has been
set for the statement, but it is be-
lieved that it will come within a day
or two.
This statement probably will be a
full recital of what this government
has done in Mexico City and declara-
ton of the policy OF the United States
toward Huerta and his acts.
1t undoubtedly will serve notice on
the world that the United States will
not recognize the acts of the Mexican
dictator or of the Congress about to
convene, and that this government will
continue to insist that Huerta must 90.
The belief here is that the substance
of this message already has been com
municated to the principal European
powers.
The attitude of the president and the
state department is still one of wait
ing. Nothing will be done by the presi-
dent and his advisers toward Mexico UNI
til the European powers have had an
oPPoi tuhity W utcldTe lueIf attltuus W.
ward the policy of this government. Ii
the European governments voluntarily
offer their support, Huerta's hold. in the
opinion of the Washington officials, soon
will be broken through financial starva-
ton.
When the attitude of the European
governments is known definitely, the
president win decide upon an immediate
course of action.

TRYING TO DUST PACKERS.
Missouri Begins Arguments Before State
Supreme Court.

jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. l3.-Argu-
ments in the suits against five packing
companies, brought by the state under
the antitrust statutes was begun be-
fore the supreme court here yesterday.
These suits were instituted against the
Armour, Swift, Morris and Hammond
packing companies and the st. Louis
Dressed Beef g. Provision Co. The state
seeks to GUST the companies from Mis-
souri,. The suit was based on the as
sumption that the National Packing Co.
of Chicago was the holding company for
Armour, Swift, Morris and Hammond,
and that the st. Louis Dressed Beef &
Provision Co. was owned by the Ma
tional company. Since the information
was filed the National has dissolved and
it will be contended by the defense that
the changed conditions since the suit
was filed will answer any demand for
judgment against the companies.

yesterday.

grip since early Sunday abated late Tues
day and yesterday morning the snowfall
had ceased. Street ear traffic on most
lines had been restored. The streets,
however, are still in a bad condition,
blocked with snow and ice to depth of
from one to three feet. One third of the
city is still without telephone communi-
cation and one-third is also without
light. The suburbs, such as East Cleve-
land and Lakewood where thousands
live who work in the city, are still iso-
lated and street car officials say it will
probably be a day or two before they
can reach them. Wires throughout the
city are still down, lying in tangled
mass in the streets.

business conditions are reached. Fac
tories forced to shut down because work
men could not reach their work remain
closed because of a coal shortage.
