COMPETITION ELIMINATED
caldwell Tribuhel

caldwell Tribuhe)
The Idaho Public Utilities commits
sion is not without its friends among
the newspapers of the state, who see
in recent actions of the commission,
the elimination of wasteful compe-
tition in the electric power business.
These newspapers say that short-lived
competition is hurtful in the end to
users of power. Sooner or later one
of the competitive companies is
forced to the wall or is absorbed by
its rival and then the consuming pub
lie is called upon to pay the loss sus-
tanned. Theoretically this is true;
in practice it is all bosh. If the
Idaho Utilities commission does its
duty the public will not be compelled
to make good waste and loss caused
by competition.
The business of selling power is
just the same as the business of sell
ing anything else. 1t must be soil
at a profit or the business will be
discontinued. Suppose a grocer
should understake to sell groceries
at less than cost He would even
tually go broke but in the meantime
the consumer would receive cheap
groceries. Upon his failure in bust
ness his competitors would i'm
mediately raise the price in order to
secure to themselves the loss the
grocer sustained. Suppose they
should buy him out. This action
would not justify them in recovering
his loss by advancing prices beyond
cost plus fair profit.
This is still an age of competition
and upon this basis all business is
founded. The public utilities COM
mission of this state is attempting
to give power companies monopoly
of the business in their field. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that the state constitution prohibits
cities and towns from granting ex-
elusive franchises. The idea was to
prevent monopoly. The commission
authorizes monopoly. The courts de-
eide the constitutionality of the law
creating the commission. It is hard
to imagine what will happen to the
law once the question gets into the
court. The tax commission is a crea-
tion of the legislature in the same
manner as the public utilities COM
mission. The two are one. WEI
know what happened to the tax COM
mission when it undertook to over
ride the state board of equalization,
which was provided for by the state |
constitution.

APPROXIMATION
Home Industry Week, April 1918,
1914

A custom of somewhat recent orr
gin has sprung up in this state o.
observing a certain week in the spring
of each year as home industry week
| have been requested to issue pro.
clamation calling attention to the i'm.
portance of this movement to secure
better encouragement of our home
industries.
1t required no argument to demon
strate that in helping to build up the
business of our neighbor we do but
help develop the community and thus
help ourselves. We should I think,
aim in so far as possible, to patronize
first, those industris which are located
in our home communities; second,
those industries which are located in
the Pacific northwest. Because of the
great Importance which attaches to
this movement / am glad to comply
with the request that l call public
attention to the same in this formal
manner.
Now, therefore, I, John M. Haines,
governor of the state of Idaho, do
hereby proclaim and set aside the
week beginning Monday the 18th day
Of April and ending Saturday the
18th day of April, as home industry
week, and advise the careful obser-
vance of the same by all our citizens
to the end that the lessons which
it aims to inculcate, will be learned
by all and that this will result in
great development Of our home re
sources during the coming year.
In testimony where, have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the state to be affixed
this 18th day of March, 1914.
JOHN M. HAINES,
Governor.

ONE YEAR OF WILSON
Caldwell Tribune)

(CalQWell IrlDun0b
Woodrow Wilson has been presi-
dent of the United States one year.
Since the first of last March the dem
ocratic party has been in full control
of the government The new free
DOM" trade expansion, lower cost of
| living and the other blessings prom
ised have not arrived. Money is
! tighter than it has been since 1895;
there are more unemployed men in
the country than at any time since
the Cleveland panic; mills are run
ming at half capacity; reduced
government revenue is causing I'M
easiness to the administration. These
are the conditions at home. Abroad
the United States, to save itself from
becoming an outlaw among nations,
has found it necessary to surrender
to Europe on the question of Pana-
ma tolls; no, program has been
worked out in regard to Mexico; the
Japanese trouble is still unsettled.
Such is our status abroad, and we
have had only one year of Wilson.
What will the next three years bring
forth?
1t is the disposition of the Ameri-
can people to give President Wilson
and the democratic party full oppor
tunity to try out their theories. In
spite Of present conditions an cleo
tion tomorrow would result in a dem
ocratic victory; not because the ma
jority of the people believe in the
Wilson policy, but once having enter
ed on that policy they will give it
fair trial.
For months it was customary for
democratic newspapers and politicians
to deny that trade and manufacture
we're suffering; that mills were idl
and workmen unemployed; that
money was frightened. President
Wilson at one time was going to
hang any man who closed down his
factory. The armies of unemployed
in every city in the country, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, conclusively
indicate the state of trade in this
country. There is no use in deny
ing that times are hard in this
country, not only in the eastern
states, but right here in Idaho. If
you don't believe 1t go out with
ample security and try to borrow a |
little money.

cultural sections, and which is used
extensively as germicide in clean
ing wheat before sowing, was dis
cussed, and it was agreed that this
could be sold providing a label was
placed on the package giving the
names of two readily obtained anti
dotes in case of danger. This prod
uct is destructive to adult human life
in quantities of 60 grains or less, and
therefore is included in the law. The
labels required will be furnished the
dealers by the wholesale druggists.

house as lovely as millionarie's sub
urban residence. Vines and flowers
have just as much place on the farm
as in the most formal landscape gar
dening, and will be much more ap-
preciated and enjoyed, for the farmer
loves his home as no man who has
half dozen residences ever can.
One of the most beautiful vines to
be planted over the farm porch is the
fragrant white Towering clematis-
the Clematis paniculata in the florists
books. The seeds of this vine can be
bought for the small price of 10 cents
packet; or, If one is in hurry,
strong one-year plants can be pur-
chased from any reliable scotsman
for the modest price of Is cents or
$3.50 dozen. The wire is hardy,
vigorous grower, insect proof, its
foliage is thick and heavy, giving ex-
cellent shade, and it flowers in such
fragrance and profusion in the fall
that it is one of the loveliest sights
of September and October.
The vine, moreover, is suited to
many uses besides that of clambering
over the porch; 1t may be planted
about summerhouse, over the well,
along a stone wall, or to conceal and
make beautiful an old stump Of a
tree. 1t is especially effective az an
ornament for the gatepost, giving
charm and invitation to the plainest
entrance.
But anything SO lovely needs no
words Of praise. The farmers wife
once seeing this vine in blossom will
realize instantly its possibilities and
begin to plan what she can do with
it about her own home, for she
knows, as other busy women know,
the rest and satisfaction to be found
in few well chosen and lovingly
cared for flowers. And none can give
more pleasure than this lovely elena
tbs vine.
Note by Mrs. Trego
We have chematis paniculata
growing on the west side of Sage
hurst that is proving all above article
claims. It was almost completely
covered with bloom during the fair
last fall and continued so for nearly
a month after. It is a fine grower
for this climate.

IN LINE WITA PARTY
Proofs That @Prooresslves" Arc
Listening to Reason


The progressive state Of Minnesota
has furnished the most impressive
proof yet given Of the virtual disap
pearance OF the Progressive party. II
10 perfectly clear that In . stats which
Roosevelt carried two years ago tho
Progressive sentiment Of the people
has ceased to manifest itself In . third
party movement. The Progressives al
1919 are Progressive Republicans n
1914.
Two years ago the vote Of Mime
sofa was 1856 for Roosevelt, 1867
426 for Wilson and 34.324 for Taft
The total vote for all parties. includ-
Ing the Socialists and Prohibitionists.
was 33l.21s.
With one small county which did
not cast more than 400 votes missing
from the Official returns. the total vote
of Minnesota In the primary election
held two weeks ago was more than
100000. It was remarkably large for
an election held only TO nominate state
candidates.
The Republican vote was 1s5. 900.
The Democratic candidates for gov.
ernor made very hot race, but their
total was little less than $4,000. The
Progressive candidates polled total
of 1854 votes. 1t will be seen that the
Republican vote was more than four
times as great as that of the Demo
Gratis and the Progressives combined.
Comparing the primary election this
year with the presidential election of
1912. the Republican vote il multiplied
by three and the Democratic vote d.
vided by two and a fraction. The Pro
gressive vote Is divided by nifty.
In percentages, the Republican
strength is over 800 per cent of the
total for Taft. The Democratic vote
IL about 40 per cent of the vote for
Wilson. The Progressive vote 10 .
little more than two per cent Of the
vote cast for Roosevelt In 1912.
Such facts cannot mean anything
less than a complete political revolu-
ton. They show that in one Of the
states carried by Theodore Roosevelt
in the presidential election two years
ago the whole Progressive party. si-
cept few struggling votes. here and
there. has gone into the Republican
camp.
But Minnesota Is certainly as pro-
gressive as ever. The beliefs and SEN
timent of its people have not changed.
What has happened is that the logic
of events has convinced the great body
Of Progressive voters that they can
most surely accomplish the reforms
they seek by working In the Republi-
can party, as Republicans.
1t is also plain that the people of
Minnesota have decided, by an over
whelming majority. to make an end
of the present Democratic administra-
ton at Washington. at the earliest
possible date. In that determination
they stand with the other states Of the
North, from ocean to ocean.
