The uncertainty regarding the con-
stitutionality of the state automobile
license tax will make collections next
year out of the question until all
points have been cleared up. This year
ninety per cent of the automobile own
ers have paid their taxes. The other
ten have refused or neglected to do
so and have had the same use of the
highways as the ninety per cent and
have likewise escaped any county tax
for their cars. If that ten per cent
can evade payment year after year
with no attempt on the part of the
state to make collections or inflict
punishment, it is very certain that the
ten per cent will increase to ninety
next year. The auto tax is good
thing II made to work equally for all
owners and all parts of the state and
would be of great benefit in improved
highways. But the whole system de-
ponds solely upon the enforcement Of
the law, IL unconstitutional, the
state should find it out before thu
money is expended upon the highways
for it must be refunded dollar for dol
lar to those who have paid it.

WHY IT is READ.

One of the foundation principles of
successful newspaper work is that the
closer anything comes home to the
personal affairs of the reader, the
more interest it excites. An item about
business interests of neighbor is
likely to be read with more attention
than report of some fateful disaster
many miles away, affecting commune
ties end people of which no one knows
anything.
This gives one an idea why it is that
advertisements are always read with
such attentive interest. They relate
directly to the personal affairs of the
public.
! People are deeply concerned nova
days about the cost of living. They
lie awake nights worrying about it.
The club formed to discuss the poetry
of Tennyson may spend much of its
time talking over the cost of beef or
the wages paid servants,
| So anything relating directly to liv-
ing costs appeals as keenly as any
thing there is in the newspaper. The
account of the battle over in Belgium
is thrilling, but it is many miles away
and without immediate effect on the
reader.
But when one learns from some
wide awake merchants advertising
that he has acquired lot of potatoes
or flour or overcoats at special bar
gain and is prepared to close them out
at low price, the thing hits us where
we live.
Everyone that wants to reduce his
cost of living, is affected by such an
advertisement
Advertising is often the best news
in the paper.-Pocatello Tribune.

TELEPHONE COMPANY'S VIEW
Contention Of the Power Companies
Met With Sound Argument.

Denver, Colo, December 5, 1914.
To the Honorable Mayor:
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners:
The Idaho Power and Light Mems
association has forwarded letter to
the mayors of each city and town, and
to each newspaper editor in the state
of Idaho, evidently conducting a cam
paign aaginst the adoption by the Ida
no public utilities commission of Ger
tain rules and regulations covering
overhead and parallel construction of
telegraph, telephone and power lines
1nasmuch as this letter contains the
statement that our company is seeking
to influence the adoption of unfair
rules at the expense of the power
companies, we submit that the sug-
gestions Offered on our part to the
Idaho commission were drawn up after
thorough and careful Investigations by
bodies of recognized authorities on
these subjects. Other interested COM
panies have also submitted sugges-
lions to the commission. AS far as
The Mountain State Telephone and
Telegraph company is concerned, they
represent an earnest desire to reach
an equitable and harmonious settle
ment Of very important question.
Similar rules to those suggested
have been generally adopted through
out the country by railroad, light and
telegraph associations and have prov

en- their value in the safe operation OF
overhead lines.

overhead lines.
The suggestions offered by us do not
compel any particular type OF con-
struction or class of material to be
used, but they do contain all the es-
sential features to insure the pro-
lection to life and property.
With our large number of employees
daily working on the poles and wires
of our system, it would be little short
of criminal on our part If we did not
insist, to the limit of our power, on
absolute protection to lives which OF
necessity are dependent upon us for
their safety,
We are Interested in the protection
of property, but this interest is en-
tirely secondary to the safeguarding of
life, both of our employees and of the
general public
Our network Of telephone lines is
absolutely harmless so far as any
current they transmit is concerned,
but the breaking down of power line
may result in the loss of life miles
away from where the contact between
the power and telephone lines takes
place.
There is no advantage in our conf
pany imposing on the power companies
any restrictions which they should not
be willing to adopt themselves. The
| power companies rely partially on
| the fact that people generally consider
| the power line dangerous and keep
clear of it. We have to fight for
| protection because the people gen
orally believe that the telephone lines
do not endanger life with the current
they transmit
| If the rules suggested by us were
adopted by the Idaho utilities commits
sion their enforcement means much
! larger permanent investment of money
ON the part of the telephone COM
panies than by either the power or
the electric light companies.
We have been in conference with
the power companies interested with
us in the question, hoping for a mutual
understanding before the commission
holds its hearing, these conferences
are still in progress.
With the gradual development of
| the state of Idaho, to which develop
ment it's utilities are contributing now
! is the time to adopt proper methods
| of construction practice, step by step,
| rather than at future time to call for
wholesale and complete changes with
| the attendant expense to all compan-
les involved and ultimately to the gen
eral public.
Our sole object in writing this let
| ter is to correct any impression that
| the presentation of our suggestions
| to the Commission is for selfish
benefit to the telephone company, OF
that their adoption will work any
real hardship on the light and pow
| er companies.
Yours truly,

First Vice President

GET ACQUAINTED.

North Americans must get better
acquainted with South Americans, and
the time has now come for doing SO,
as a new era of mutual interest and
knowledge of one another has dawned
upon the people of both North and
worlds struggle having thrown the
people of these countries and our
selves closer to each other, we should
take the opportunity to favor the occa-
sion to become better acquainted.
There should be every effort made to-
wards the cultivation of a spirit of
PAn-Americanism
The men in Brazil who sell US cof-
fee and rubber and the men who buy
our machinery might profitably come
and look us over, see what kind Of
people we are, what we can buy and
what we can sell, what our schools,
our courts, our policies, our art and
literature are like. Our citizens who
buy meat and hides in the Argentine
and our manufacturers who sell hard
ware and machinery might profitably
go to the Argentine and become fami
liar with the people and the conditions
there And our tourists and foreign
travellers who do not take this oppor-
tunity to see the United States can
very profitably see at least something
of the great republics on the South
American continent
Like ourselves, each southern ma
ton has its own history and tradi-
tons, peculiar institutions, its identity.
Each is an individual in the commun-
ity of nations If our relations are
now to be built up on stronger founda-
tons than words we must deal with
each nation separately and for the
sake of it's own special reciprocity for
us. We must have the same discrim-
ination, in trade and in international
politics, in our dealings with Argen-
tine, Brazil, Chile, and the other indie

FARMERS FREQUENTLY FAIL,

Listed among the business who
frequently fail is the farmer, the
greatest producer of all. He fails for
the same reason as do some business
men, because of ignorance. Many Of
these men have been born and reared
farmers, and imagine that that is all
the qualification necessary to follow
that vocation. 1t is not. Technical
education, constant study Of conditions
elsewhere and full realization of the
necessity of fertilization of their farms
constitute the first principles Of the
successful farmer.
When farmer fails, the whole COM
munity suffers, and the man who must
bear the brunt of the burden is the
local merchant His capital is invest
ed and his hope rests with the farm
ers ability to produce; if blight, a
drought, cyclone or pest bugs des-
troy the crops, the merchant must
make the best of it and carry" the
farmer for another season, or until he
has good crop
We know that the average consumer
does not feel that his local merchant
is robber or a cheat, but like all hui
man kind, catalogues and prices Of
mail order houses appeal to him and
