powerful element is sometimes over

blood into the machine.
| There are men in every commercial
club who have worked for the interests
of the community and have been a
mainstay of the club for years. Men
who have given their time, money en-
ergy to make the commonwealth what
it is, and who are still active in the
efforts to maintain the high standard
achieved, and to still better condi-
4 tions We can look back at some of
their victories and realize that we are
now reaping the harvest of their
achievement Far be it from me to
say anything that detract from their
credit, or minimize their powers for
good. We are far too unappreciative
of free services. Let us remember,
however, that these laborers will al
ways be with us.
Lest there be a lull in the good
work at hand, let us keep our reserv-
lists in training to fill the gaps that
will come all too soon. Yes, not only
to fill the gaps in the ranks, but to

to perform the duties now being done
but to specialize in new fields Of ac-

Haine's Utilities Commission Gives Long
Delayed But Anticipated Decision
Compelling Companies Are Barred From Territory Covered by
Great Shoshone Power Company Leaves no Loop
hole Of Escape from Decision

it was buildingsunder the provision of
the law which provides that a public
utility under certain conditions may
complete any work under any per-
nit or franchise already granted.
Such contention was ruled against
by the commission and later, upon
appeal by the supreme court which,
in handing down it's opinion in the
case, upheld the constitutionality Of
the utilities act. This court decision
is made the basis for much of the
commissions holdings in the order.
Finds Supply Adequate.
In answering the propositions in
vOlved in study of any field in such
a case the commission has before
it, the commission finds that the pres
ent supply of electrical energy fur
nished by the Great Shoshone COM
pany is sufficient for the needs of the
territory which it controls; in con-
structing it's works, it has planned for
| the future and is able to care for the
| needs of the territory when further
| demands of the country are made.
| AS to whether the company has dis
charged it's duties toward the public
by giving efficient serveice, the com
mission finds that many of the COM
plants are unjust in that they apply
to the failure of the company to fur
niAh current for heating buildings al
| the beginning OF the season of 1913.
Complaints Unreasonable.
This service, the commission finds
is not legitimate or justifiable us,
of electricity and should not be blamed
to the company for the further reaso1
that because of the Kuhn failure, i
was unable at the time to acquire th'
machinery necessary for furnishing
this current, The commission alst
finds that many of the complaints ar
unreasonable and that the service
asked is disproportionate to the rev
enue which would be obtained.
A cOmmendable effort has beel
made to serve the community, tn
commission finds, by the extension b.
the Great Shoshone company of it
lines into small villages and communi
ties, expensive to reach.
That the Idaho Power & Light com
pany can furnish power to the terri
tory in controversy at cheaper rat
than can the present company, tn
commission doubts. 1t seems no ad
vantage of position and finds no relic
from the figures that have been pre-
sented.
AS a further reason for denying tn
rights of the petitioning companie
to enter the field the commission say
it can see no way to prevent the in
vading companies from taking tn
cream and leaving the milk for tn
old company That is, it explains. ths
the new company could easily tax
the patronage away from the NOR
profitable communities, where tn
larger company depends for it's prof
and leave only the smaller ones whic
are less profitable.
7 Finding then, no point where tn
: Great Shoshone company has faile
. TO supply its territory satisfactoril
: the commission refuses to let eiths

t or the Clear Lake Power & Improv
e ment company invade it's field

No rival concern can supply electric
power and light in the counties OF
Twin Falls, Gooding and Lincoln as
long as the Great ShoshOne 4 Twin
Falls Water Power company main
tains it's present standard of efficiency
and appears able to supply the fleld.
This was in substance the decision OF
the public utilities commission in the
matter of the applications OF the Ida
no Power & Light company and the
Clear Lake Power & Improvement
company to be allowed to enter the
field in competition with the present
company. The decision was handed
down Saturday.
Territory which is the goal of the
two petitioning companies is that OF
The cities of Buhl and Twin Falls and
the villages of Wendell and Filer and
the country Immediately contiguous.
Franchises in these towns and villages
were secured by the Idaho Light &
Power company between the time the
public utilities act went into effect
and the time it was enacted.
Asks Larger Field.
This company sets forth in its COM
plant that it has power site on the
Malad river which is most favorable
| for the development of electric power;
| that it has fulfilled the terms OF Its
contract up to the present time, and
! that it now wishes to complete It's ar
rangement with the state by complet-
| ing the power plant at the Malac
river 1t AYERS that it is unable to dc
this with only the territory which Il
serves at the present time, but that il
must have that in Twin Falls, Good
ing and Lincoln counties.
| 1t claims that the present rates ant
service of the Great Shoshone com
pany in that field are not such as car
be furnished by the Idaho Power &
Light company and that they are no
approved by the sentiment of the ter
ritory served.
Third Company In.
These same allegations are made b.
the Clear Lake company, which mas
power site short distance from
Gooding and Twin Falls. For thi
reason both petitions are taken up to
gether.
More than 80 pages of manuscript
are used in explaining the reasons TO
the decision against the two applican
companies. In addition to summar
izing the applications OF the two com
panies, one of which, that OF the Ida
no Power & Light company, relate
the whole history of the company, tn
order comments on a part OF the ora
testimony offered and makes
lengthy defense of its uefulness an
of the advantages of regulation owe
competition Not only does the com
mission go into all these matters thor
oughly, but it recites the circumstan
ces of the previous troubles OF tn
Great Shoshone and the Idaho Powe
& Light company.
