the commercial rates are cut out en-
tirely. This will simplify the situa-
ton and make it much easier for
any consumer to know just what he
is paying and just why he is pay
ing it.
This schedule does not apply to the
Utah Power and Light company that
operates extensively in the extreme
southeastern section of the state.
Just why this is not SO was not made
clear, One explanation is that the
Utah concern is operating in non-com-
peting territory. Another Is that 1t
supplies such small communities and
that the expense of reaching these
small communities is so great that
the rate applied to the other COM
panies might not be fair for this con-
Germ.
Great good to the public and to
the power companies is expected to
flow from this action of the utilities
commission. In brief it is expected
to end the ruinous power war" and
it is expected to protect many con-
sumers against extortion-Boise

Progressiives
Held Meeting

A. E. Gipson. of the progressive
party of Idaho, was at Blackfoot, Sat
urday, and held a meeting in the
evening at the court house. William
A. Lee presided and there was a
mixed audience of all political par
ties.
A resolution was adopted, endors-
ing the Chicago platform of 1912,
and indicating that candidates of this
party in Idaho should stand for
substantial reduction of taxes and for
clean government generally.
Mr.. Gipson gave a short address in
which he outlined the condition of
the party in southern Idaho in the
various localities he had visited, and
cracked a good joke when talking
about the greatness of the Chicago
platform. He said the progressiyes
are very plentiful in Ada county and
that they have formed the habit OF
reading the Chicago platform every
Thursday evening instead of going
to prayer meeting. He referred to
Governor Haines' slogan of taking
the tax receipts to the polls when
going to vote, and the same slogan
held up against him now by the dem
ocrats for the next election and said
that in most of the counties where
he had been, the people had been TN
able to get possession of any tax re-
ceipts, and that is principally what is
building up the progressive party.
He blamed the press of the country
for publishing the party out of exist
ence while it is still alive and work.
ing.
Mr.. Gipson says the chances for
the progressive party are made bet
ter by the fact that democrats are
always fighting among themselves,
and this year both the old parties APP
pear to be hopelessly split, and some
body will win on mere plurality
that is very much less than a ma
jority.

OF IDAHO TABLET
IN THE MONUMENT

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Next
month on the occasion of the 125th
anniversary of the inauguration of
George Washington as the first presi-
dent of the United States, interesting
exercises will be held here to mark
the event. The most notable feature
of the program will be the formal
dedication of the memorial blocks
provided by the states of Colorado,
Idaho and Washington for the Wash
ington monument. The placing of
these blocks in the monument will
leave but three states that are not
thus represented by memorial stones.
The dedication exercises will be
conducted under the auspices of the
Washington National Monument So
ciety. This society dates back to
1888, in which year it was organized
to erect in the federal capital a monu-
ment, national in character, to the
memory of Washington. John Mar
shall, the great chief justic, was the
first president of the society. On
the death of Justice Marshall former
President James Madison was elected
president. On the death of Mr.. Madi-
son it was provided that the president
Of the United States should be ex-
officio president, and such has been
the case ever since.
February %, 1859, the society was
chartered by congress after having as
a voluntary association, raised by
popular subscription the money to
lay the foundation of the monument
and to carry the shaft to 1876 feet
in height. During the period of the
civil war and reconstruction days the
society continued it's efforts to raise
funds to continue the work to COM
plete the shaft, but the condition of
the times and country were not such
as to give encouraging results. 1t
was not until many years later that
the shaft was finally completed
through the aid Of congress.
Many years ago the society issued
an invitation to the various states, to
the leading cities and to lodges and
other organizations to contribute me-
mortal stones to the monument. The
responses were numerous, as is evil
denced by the many carved stones
that adorn the interior of the shaft.
For the most part the blocks contri-
buted by the states and cities bear
their respective coats of arms.

Utah S Greeting
To Idaho

Our neighboring state of Utah has
given official recognition to Idahc's
Home Industry week through the
columns of the Payroll Builder, the
official publication of the manufac-
turers' association of Utah. The
March number gives a detailed ac-
count of the plans for the week, and
has this to say about it:
Idaho is to have Home Indus
try week, April Is to Is, and it will
be observed throughout the state.
This is pleasing news to the people
of Utah, for the Gem State and the
Beehive State are twin sisters, and
anything that concerns either gen.
orally affects the other in greater. de-
gree, perhaps, than is usual in the
relations Of the sisterhood of states.
Idaho is not the equal of Utah in
manufacturing, though the former
state has made rapid strides in this
line and is destined to play a prom
inent part in industrial affairs of the
intermountain country. The people
of Idaho have always been very loyal
to the factories of Utah, actuated by
bonds of kinsh'p and friendship, and
also from spirit of reciprocity.
Idaho finds a good market in Utah
for much of the products of it's farms,
orchards, ranges and diaries.
That home industry week in Idaho
will be enthusiastically carried out
goes without saying. Idaho always
does things enthusiastically and we'll.

others threats and Dubois with his
big tent and Mormon attraction to
accompany the two principals; Haines
with his political cart loaded with
tax receipts and Nose Alexander
carrying his clothing sign, this alone
would guarantee your moneys worth.
Then top it all off, we have state
wide" which will be the overshadOw-
ing influence of the whole campa gn
and will add zest and flavor to the
regular program. Better secure your
ticket early and avoid the rush.

STRICKEN JURIST TAKEN TO
BOISE

COUER d'ALENE, March 3d.
Justice George F. Stewart, of tho
Idaho supreme court, who was strick-
en- with partial paralytic stroke last
week, left for his home at Boise,
sunday evening, accompanied by his
son, Charles, who has been with him
for several days. His affection
seems to have affected his power of
speech, and little if any improvement
in the use of his voice, has been
noticeable. DR.. Dryer who has at
tended him professionally believes the
patient is strong enough to stand the
journey home without injury.

GOT THE WRONG CAN

S. l.. Reece is jolly good fellow
starts all the fires at his house. He
primes the kindling with oil, but last
Saturday morning he got the wrong
can and primed it with gasoline
which is quicker. 1T was SO quick
that when Mr.. Reece applied the
match it snapped at him, lifted pieces
of the stove into the air, blew out
all the stops in the chimney and shot
SCOT into all the rooms.
Mr.. Recess hand was somewhat
injured, but he was able to be at
his post. in the bank that day and
able to lend Mrs. Reece some aid and
lots of regrets and sympathy in the
housekeeping that followed the &C
cident.
1t is a good plan to label the cans.

This action of the commission in
fixing these rates comes as the result
of an order served on the hydro
electric companies some time ago to
appear and show cause why sug-
gested schedule should not be en-
forced. Representatives of the five
companies named appeared before the
commission and there was lively
exchange of ideas on Friday and Sat
urday. Finally the representatives
of the companies withdrew with the
intention of getting together in an
effort to agree upon schedule of
rates.
Submit but do not Agree
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. Rrepre-
sentatives of all the companies in
sisted that the rates in the tentative
schedule were entirely too low; that
they would 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 number
IS of the law makes it mandatory
on the commission to establish and
enforce uniform rates for public SER
vice. This law compelled them to
act in the matter, and the schedule
established in the order of Saturday
may be looked upon as the first de-
finite move on the part of the com
mission in the carrying out of this
provision of the law as it applies 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-
sible to establish any uniform sched-
ule without having this effect; but
on the whole, he insists, it will mean
a material reduction. In Boise the
change will be immaterial. In other
communities in the south and south
east the saving will be marked. The
rates established are said to be lower
than those in any adjoining state
and considerably lower than the rates
prevailing in the east.
Fewer Chances to Jugle
1t will be noted, too, as significant
that from this time forward there
will be but the one set of figures

petition 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 pub
lie utilities commissioners, as the re-
suit of the uniform schedule of rates
established in an order issued Sat-
urday afternoon.
These rates, given above in full,
apply to the Great Shoshone and
Twin Falls Water Power company,
the Southern Idaho Water Power
company, the Idaho Power and Light
company, formerly the Beaver
River company, the Idaho-oregon
Light and Power company and to the
Idaho Railway, Light and Power COM
pany. The new rates take effect at
once; they apply to service for March
and will be found in the bills sent
to consumers at the close of the pres
ent month.
Pocatello is given until the 18th
OF the month instead of the 10th,
which is fixed as the time limit in all
other places for the discounting of
bills because the Oregon Short Line
payday is from the 18th to the 18th.
