new MOSCOW LIGHT RATE
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
ACTION OF IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMIS-
SION OF GREAT BENEFIT
MEANS SAVING TO PEOPLE
Washington Water Power Company Had Formerly
Offered to Stand Cut-Rates Reduced at
Genesee and Troy Also

According to the ruling made by the
Idaho public utilities commission al
Boise yesterday in the lighting rates
for domestic purposes in which ma
terial reductions were ordered, II was
TODAY learned that the new rates go
into effect Immediately in Moscow.
The. order of the commission also MADE
material reductions in the domestlc
rates at both Troy and Genesee.
The complaint against the Washing
ton Water Power company was filed
nv the commission of it's own vol1t1on
some time ago and recently hearing
was held at Boise in which both the
city of Moscow and the company were
represented. At that hearing argu-
ments were made on both sides. The
city was represented by Councilman
Francis Jenkins. The Washington Wa
fer Power company at that time offered
to fix an arbitrary rate of IL cents per
kilowat hour maximum If the COM
mission would accept it and dismiss
the complaint. The commission reIus-
cd to accept this tender, holding that
II would take the entire matter under
advisement. in the meantime secur-
ing engineering data, and be gulded III
IT'S decision after the further 1n1orma-
tion had been received.
The question of reduced hgnt anu
power rates has been before tne ci1y
council practically ever since tne
washington Water Power company
entered this territory. Some time ago
the company voluntarily reduced tne
domestic lighting rate, after a con
terence with the city council, from 10
tn 13 cents per kilowatt hour max
imum. making a monthly saving to the
domestic light users Of MOSCOW oI
about $40. An additional saving was
made in the power contract OF the CITY
with the company of about s2oo per
month.
Under the new rates just announces,
the maximum 81 charge has peen re-
duced from 6-kilowatt basis to o-Kllo,
watt basis. With better graouateu
scale on the increased consumptlon ana
the maximum reduced from l3 Genus
per kilowatt hour to II cents per Kllo-
watt hour, a further saving to MOSCOW
consumers of not less than Sl4o per
month is estimated.
At the hearing which will be helu
on, November 19 next, it Will pe ue-
termined whether the rate snail pe-
come permanent.

Responding enthusiastically to the
call of their president, Mrs. c. N. Lit

Club on Tuesday afternoon met at the
assembly room Of Ridenbaugh Hall
and acted favorably on the suggestion
of the president that the club engage
at once in the preparation of hospital
supplies for the national Red Cross or
ganization Through the voluntary
and personal contributions of members
a sum approximating fifty dollars was
at once raised for the purchase of ma
terials of which to make sponges.

skilful nurses and thoroughly exper-
fenced in all hospital matters, con-
sented to direct the work.
Work meetings were held on We'd
nesday and Thursday, the members on
the west side of town gathering at
Ridenbaugh Hall and those on the
east side at President Brannon's res

Mrs. Little has applied to the rail-
roads for free transportation OF the
sponges to Red Cross headquarters in
New York.
Next week the, recreation room in
Ridenbaugh Hall will during the
entire week be at the disposal of the
club in order that members may en-
ploy their leisure hours in complet-

VOTERS CAN AID
QUICK RETURNS
STUDY YOUR BALLOTS BEFORE
ELECTION DAY AND GET YOUR
CHOICE PLACED RIGHT
1t VIII Expedite Matters When You
Are in the Veting B0Oth-It Helps
And Saves Time s, -.

1t has been suggested by those who
have had experience in conducting
elections that voters will expedite
matters very greatly if, when they
enter the booth, their minds are made
up as to how they wish to vote.
Familiarity with the ticket can be
obtained by study of the complete
list of candidates on all tickets ap
pearing in this issue of the Star
Mirror. A careful scrutiny in ad
vance of these columns, it is sug
gested, will enable a voter to cast
his ballot with dispatch, and thus
make room quickly for the next wait
ing voter. If a voter knows just
where to find the name after which
he desires to place cross, he can
get through with his task in less than
five minutes.
A vote early in the day will be an
other great aid to quick returns.

the Germans planned to withdraw its

first line of defenses inside the Prus-

the Teutonic forces released would be

ALL CAN V0TE-HOW TO
REGISTER

There has been considerable
inquiry from many sources con-
cerning the right of persons of
legal age who are residents of
Idaho, who may or may not have
registered in another county.
The law specifies that any quail
flied voter who has resided in the
state one year and the county 30
days. whether registered in an
other county or not, may on the
day Of election be accompanied
by freeholder before the elec-
tion Judge of the precinct In
which he or she may reside and
swear in the vote. The law is
specific and says:
"Any electOr may be registered
in the county in which he re-
sides, on the day of election, be-
fore any Judge of election in the
precinct in which he is qualified
to vote, in the same manner as
before one Of the registration
officers hereinhefore mentioned,
but such applicant must be
identified and vOgched for by
some freeholder in such precinct,
who shall take and subscribe an
oath. ~

In his argument, Wycoff claims
that the clerks duties are simply min
isterial and that no discretion is re-
ouired. The clerk replies that his rea-
son for not signing the warrant was
that there is not sufficient money IN
the treasury to pay it. He calls at
tention to the fact that the Idaho laws
make taxes payable half on the first
day of January and half on the first
Of July and that the tax is not col
lected until the fiscal year has gone
by. He asks the court for a ruling on
the point and that if it is judged that
he must pay the amount, to say from
what fund it shall come.
