TO FIGHT UNJUST RATES
Boise Traffic BureauWill assist Neigh
bors in Adjusting r. r. Rates.

The Boise Traffic Bureau, organized
through the efforts of the Boise AS
ISOLATION of Credit Men for the pur-
pose of taking care of Boise
in matters relating to railroad
rates and service, will also extend its
services in adjusting unjust rates to
all parts of southern Idaho, where
their assistance is sought. To the
Capital News Leonard Way, secretary
Of the organization, recently stated
the objects of the bureau to be:
eve are prepared to handle all traf-
fic matters now in the shortest posi-
BILE time, and we are anxious to be of
all the assistance we can, not only to
our own people at home, but to any
one in the state who needs our help.
One of the first matters we took up
was the high freight rate on hay from
Long valley points to Portland and
Seattle. The Oregon Short Line is
charging 81 ton more to haul hay
from Long valley points than from
Twin Falls to Portland and the dis
lance is much less. There is 100000
tons of hay in that section waiting
for market and as we failed to OBJ
tain a reduction by request we have
filed a complaint with the commission.
It is almost as much to our interest
as it is TO theirs to see that these
people find a market for their pro-
iucts. We have on file in the office
/ complete set of tariffs of all the rail
'oads in the United States and we can
luote the correct rate on any ship
nent at once, if it is to be found in
he tariffs. We will be glad to quote
ates whenever requested, and we will /
axe particular pleasure in seeing that 6
eople who are moving into this coun-
ry are not overcharged on their
ousehold goods and other effects. If
lch newcomers will just send us or v
ave at our office in the Idaho build \
lg their paid freight bills or see me
efore they pay the freight bill we n
i'll check the rates over carefully n
nd see that they are amply protected z
'cording to the rates in effect" t

Quick Action Pleases All Emmett.

Everybody in Emmett who has tried
it for bowel and stomach trouble, is
more than pleased with the QUICK
action of simple buckthorn bark, gly-
eerine, etc, as mixed in Adler-i-ka.
JUST A SINGLE DOSE usually re-
lieves sour stomach, gas on the stom-
aeh and constipation QUICKLY. Those
who have been using the remedies
say that Adler-i-ka is big surprise.

WOULD STOP DIVORCE
IN U. S.
Amendment Proposed to Give
Congress Power to Pre-
vent Remarriage.

Divorce with the right to remarr!
would be prohibited forever in tn,
United States and in all places under
the nations jurisdiction by an amend
ment to the federal constitution pro.
posed in the senate by Senator Rams
dell of Louisiana. Enactment of uni
form marriage laws for all states and
territories, with provision for separa-
ton without permission to remarry,
would be directed by the amendment.
With the states of the Union grant
ing more than twice rs many divorces
as all the rest of christendom COM
bined, Senator Ransdell told his col
leagues that the time had come for
the nation itself to put down this
menace to the "chief bulwark of soci-
ETY., the home-the maker of good
citizens and the model on which every
wise government is founded"
"The remedy by constitutional pro-
hibition is drastic" said the senator,
"but the malady is so fatal that moth
ing short of it will prove efficacious.
In the United States divorce is spread |
ing with alarming rapidity. 1t has
permeated every walk of life and is
prevalent among every class of peo-
pie. The total number of divorces
granted in 1867 was 9,937, or 81 per
100000 population. Forty years later,
n 1906, there were 1902 divorces, or
IS per 100000; thus in actual numbers
here were more than seven times as
many divorces granted in 1906 as in
867, or, allowing for the increased
divorce had increased 319
er cent.
eff divorces multiply at the same
ate in the future as in the past-and
here is every indication that they
ill increase faster-then before the
liddle of this century we will have
in the United States 275 di-
orces per 100000 population, or one :
ivorce for every five marriages. 7

(By the Chairman of the Iowa State.
Wide Publicity Commission.)
How many years has 1t been since
the average travelling man left the
gates Of his own city with maledic-
ton on his lips?
How long has it been since we be-
gan developing in this country what
we call community spirit-pride in
our own neighborhood and in the
things Of our neighborhOOd?
Perhaps the idea was born in the
little country school neighborhood
meeting, but it has been fostered and
capitalized by the business men OF
every city, town and hamlet in the
country until it has become a real
force in community development.
We have it in every town in Iowa,
but we do not have as yet that state
wide pride and patriotism that will
eventually mean the development of
the whole state Just as the more ag-
gressive towns are being developed.
Communities are in very large
measure made by what people say
about them. The wordof-mouth tes-
timonial counts for more than do
reams of expensive lithograplling and
printing.
If all the people of Iowa will speak
well OF the STATE everywhere and all
the time, the state will respond with
growth and development. States with
resources and advantages far inferior
to ours are forging ahead because
their people are patriotic.

this state gives us our opportunity to
