ouI-IHIOdL COmpet1tlOn, special con-
tracts to favor customers, discrimina-
t1on between communities, juggling of
schedules to cover the real rates
charged for light and power, unrea-
sonable discounts to meet competition
in an indirect way-these and evils of
the power war" that has waged in
southern Idaho will be eliminated and
made impossible in the future, in the
opinion of the public utilities COM
m1ssloners, as the result of the uni
form schedule of rates established in
an order issued Saturday afternoon
These rates, given above in full ap-
ply to the Great Shoshone & Twin
Fails Water Power company, the
Southern Idaho Water Power com
pany, the Idaho Power & Light COM
pany, formerly the Beaver River
company, the Idaho-Oregon Light G
Power company and to the Idaho
Railway, Light & Power company.
The new rates take effect at once:
they apply to service for March and
will be found in the bills sent to con-
sumers at the close of the present
month.
Pocatello is given until the 10th of
the month instead of the 10th which
is fixed as the time limit in all other
places for the discounting of bills be-
cause the Oregon Short Line payday
is from the 18th to the 18TH
This action of the commission in
fixing these rates comes as the result
OF an order served on the hydro-elec-
trio companies some time ago to ap-
pear and show cause why a suggested
schedule should not be enforced. Rep
resentatives of the five companies
named appeared before the commits
sion and there was a lively exchange
OF ideas Friday and Saturday. Fin
ally the representatives of the COM
panies withdrew with the intention of
getting together in an effort to agree
upon schedule of rates.
The schedule given herewith is the
result of this conference of the rep
resentatives of the companies. When
they returned to the commission they
announced that they were willing to
submit to these rates temporarily in
order to assist the commission in ar
irving at fair basis and the work
Ing out of an equitable basis. Repre-
sentatives of all the companies insist
ed that the rates in the tentative |
schedule were enirely too low; that |
lHcy WOulu lose money under them
and that they would submit to them |
only in the hope of bringing about
better conditions through the work of |
the commission.
Under the terms Of the public utili-
ties act the commission has no discre-
ton IN the matter. Section No 1S of
the law makes 1t mandatory on the I
commission to establish and enforce
uniform rates for public service. This
law compelled them to act in the mat
ter, and the schedule established in the
order of Saturday may be looked upon
as the first definite move on the part
OF the commission in the CARRYING out
OF this provision of the law as it ap-
plies to light and power companies.
Judge Standrod is of the opinion
that this new schedule may mean an
increase in cost to some consumers.
He said it would be absolutely impos-
s1ble to establish any uniform sched-
ule without having this effect; but
ON the whole, he insists. 1t will mean a
material reduction In Boise the
change will be immaterial. In other

Roosevelt Breaks His Rule of
Silence and Makes a Po-
IiticaI Declaration.
HAS AN ATTACK OF CHILL
He Explains That 1t is Merely
An Expected Recurrence of
Jungle Fever Effects. i
nY .asoe,Arrr rassr, 7

SOUTHAMPTON, Eng, June 49,
"I' will make Just one reference to
politics. 1 will not run for governor
of New York" Colonel Roosevelt
today momentarily broke his rule OF
silence in regard to politics in order
to make this declaration while he
was proceeding on board the tender
to embark on the Imperator for New
York.
Colonel Roosevelt suffered from a
sharp attack of chill while on board
the tender. 1t was the first occa-
sion on which he had felt the chill
since he left New York aud he ex-
planned that it was merely a recur-
renee of the effects of the Jungle
fever, which was to be expected.
The colonel declined assistance and
crossed the gangway to the liner
unaided, but retired Immediately to
the imperial suite on the Imperator,
which had been assigned to him and
his cousin, Phillip ]. Roosevelt.
Emphasis was laid by Philip
Roosevelt on statement that the
colonel was not suffering from any
disease of the larnyx but from weak.
ness which would prevent him from
speaking from platforms of trains
and similar exposed places. He said
however, that the colonel expected
to fill an engagement in Pittaburg
on June 80. His great desire, how,
ever, in the meantime, was for q
period OF home life at Sycamore
Hill during which he could rest his
voice and forego politics.

AIDED BY STRIKE
Wherefore, oWnby Tells Presi.
dent, They Do Not Seek
Peace in Colorado.
tsY AsseelArEp sasss,

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 49,
]. A. ownby, representing independ-
emit coal operators in Colorado, told
President Wilson today that the
Rockefeller and other large interests
in the state were not attempting to
settle the strike because small con-
Germs were being driven out Of bust
ness. He told the president the fed
erals troops were being used to as
sist the large operators.
Ownby, who was brought to the
White House by Senator Owen, de-
clared that most Of the small mines
were forced to close at the beginning
of the strike riots and that federal
troops had prevented any mines from
being opened and kept new miners
from coming into the field. While
such measures were being used to
restore peace, he said. they were
working TO the detriment Of the
small operators.
