COMMISSION
CUT HIGH RATES
Continued from First Page)

new rates that the new schedule pro-
vides can be- gained from the follow
ing schedule of rates, which is in ef
feet in another state and which are
much higher than the new rates Or
dered to go into effect by the Idaho
commission:
First $50 kilowatts, 10 cents
Next $50 kilowatts, 9 cents.
Next 800 kilowatts, s cents.
Next 600 kilowatts, Z cents.
The new schedule will, it is be.
lieved, be found to be slightly higher
for the small commercial consumer,
but his case will be the exception
rather than the rule. The larger con-
sumeT of commercial electricity Will
gain considerably through the new
rates, for after using over the 40 kilo-
watts in which the rate may be founh
to be slightly increased, he will imme-
diately b-gin to receive the benefit Of
the reduction afforded by the larger
consumption The lighting rate of the
new schedule gradually develop, d in
proportion to the amount Of electriciv
used into the commercial rate.
Applies Only to Five companies
The commissions order only applies
to the five public service corporations
named which have several millions of
dollars invested in electric power
plants and lines in the southern part
of this state. 1t does not apply to
the Utah Power & Light company,
which operates extensively in the east
ern Idaho territory, but in uon-com.
petitive towns ard cities 1t may be
that later the commission may ap-
ply a uniform schedule of rates ia
that section.
The commission found as a result
if its investigation into the rates
charged by these five power com.
panies that thsy varied in many in
stances and as the public utilities act
provides that uniform rate must be
put into effect and klpt in effect, the
matter Of adjusting the rates, al
though a difficult problem to solve
was taken up. The net result is a
big gain for the consumer and a sub.
stantial loss to the power companies
Future slashing of rates detrimental
to the consumers as we'll as to the
companies will. it is claimed. be pre-
vented by the new schedule.

Down at American Falls it is said
that the favorite ode at this time Is
"How Dry l Am," as the injunction
seems to be fairly operative
Aside from any prejudice, one way
or another, the law as it stands in
the case should prevail, and every
body should feel satisfied.
After which there will, perhaps, be
q resumption Of that old theme,

ATTORNEY LEE NOT
DIOATE

Blackfoot, March 3O-What is pro-
nounced by State Chairman Gipscn as
the most successful MEETING of the
Progressives Of the southeast wac
held here SATURDAY night at the court
house. Every section Ct the county
was represented at the meeting of
the county committee.
Resolutions were adopted. d eclariny
in favor of statewide prohibition, a
reduction in taxation through more
efficient administration and govern
mont aid in securing cheap leans to
farmers. A resolution was also adopt
ed to place a full county ticket in
the field in this, Bingham County.
There is a very live bunch of Pro-
gressives in this county and it is gem
orally conceded that the Progressive
vote at next falls election will be at
least three times what it was two
years ago and many careful judges
of local political conditions say that
the Bull Moose will carry the county.
w. A. Lee, one Of the most promi-
nent attorneys of the southeast, who
has been leading the Progressive
movement in Bingham. county, au-
thorized the announcement of his
candidacy for attorney general on the
Progp- ssive state ticket, and he prom
ises a red hot canvass and campaign
if elected at the primaries. Mr.. Lee
is an eloquent and force-ul public
speaker and it is acknowledged hero
that he will lend great strength to
the state ticket.-Capital News.
Although Attorney Lee is an ar
dent Progressive, and honestly be-
lieves that that party, if victorious,
would be inclined to fulfil it's pro-
misses and plans for better conditions
politically, but he has no desire forthe
office of attorney general, and denies
that he ever volunteered or author.
lied his name to be used as an as
pirant for that or any other office.
AS the future encouragement
should be- lawyer of experience and
unQuestioned ability and integrity.
no doubt the Bull Moose party lead
ers would hail the candidacy of Mr..
Leg for this important office, which
he so honorably and creditably filled
for four years in the state OF Utah.
What he told Mr.. G.pson was that
if the Progressive party leaders be-
lieved that a candidate for attorney.
general from this section Of the state
would strengthen the personol of the
ticket, and no other suitable candi-
date could be had, he would con-
sent to accept the candidacy, but
positively under no other condition, as
he had no office-see king ambition
whatavery being actuated only by a
desire to assist the cause he be-
lievas needs assistance.

CUT WORMS

Please inform me the best way if there is any, to prevent cut worms from destroying corn, planted on new bottom land. Last year we had several acres planted several times, which hardly made anything. l have some of the same kind of land to plant this spring.
 You could have done something by late fall blowing, turning up the pupae to the frost. Now the best thing to do is to mix one pound of Paris green in 50 pounds of wheat bran. Dampen the bran slightly with water sweetened with molasses, so that the Paris green will stick to it. Mix very completely and get some of the poison on all the bran. Then when the corn is just above the ground scatter a little of this along the corn rows and you will get most of the cut worms.

corn and oats should make a splendid ration for horses and mules doing farm work and we doubt if cottonseed will material ly improve the ration. The pea vine hay and oats should supply all the protein needed without any cottonseed meal, but small quantity of cottonseed meal, say a pound or pound and a half
 ttwo-third of a quart) a day will add little more variety and will probably make as good a ration, although, as stated. 1t is doubt ful if the ration will be material ly improved. And from the standpoint of a balanced ration. according to the standard, it will not be as good as the peavine hay corn and oats, without the cot tonseed meal. But from the standpoint of the horse there is no denying that a little cotton seed meal added to a ration ire quently accomplishes wonders in the improved condition of the ani- mals.
