GERMANY CANNOT
ASSURE SAFETY

Can't Guarantee Safety to

IN ALL THE MINED WATERS

BERLIN (via LondOn), Feb. 12.-
Disappointment thar neutral powers
have not asked specific guarantees
from England that she drsist from the
misuse of neutral flags is expressed
by the kreuz Zeitung, which says
such guarantees are improbable now
since the most powerful neutral" has
not even protested de cidedly.
The paper asserts that sales of
arms and ammunition, "nCt to men
ton ampler support of our enemies
now tolerated." cannot be rcconciled
with President Wilson's unc biection-
able Interpretation of true neutrality
at the beginning of the war. The
kreuz Zeitung declares that, al! h0ugh
England's reply to the United States
complaint concerning the detention of
merchant ships was almost wholly
negative, it was accepted quietly in
America, as is the present misuse of
the flag. The paper then asks:
rs 1t any wonder that England now
shows not the slightest consideration
for the United States, as is illustrated
already by the seizure of the Wilhel-
nina? Let nobody say America proves
its neutrality by accepting Germany's
declaration of submarine warfare in
the same spirit as England's abuse of
neutral flags"
The text of the American note has
not been given out here and comment
up to the present has been based en-
tirely on Washington news dispatches
giving brief synopsis of the com
munication.
Count Won Reventlow, the naval
critic, in newspaper article, refers
to the report that the Washington
government intended TO ask how Ger
many proposed to make neutral ship
ping safe and says.
This marine war zone was an
nounced by the German government
for the very reason that safety of
navigation therein cannot be guaran-
teed. The vessels of neutrals enter
upon this war zone only at their own
risks. This condition of arrais can
not be changed or influenced by any
representations or demands from
Washington. 1t is equally out of the
question that the identity of every
ship with a neutral flag be ascer-
tained. A submarine mine cannot
learn this identity and such a course
is equally impossible for submarine
boat
THE German declaration in itself
must furnish proof to Americans that
the possible destruction of American
ships after Feb. 18 cannot afford the
Washington government any ground
for complaint of any nature against
the German government, but that the
American government and the ship
pers themselves must bear the re-
sponsibility if they permit their YES
sells to enter this war zone.
1--WE gather the impression from
expressions reaching Germany from
ylcross the water that if the American
people believe they can handle the
German government as they desire by
pressure and threats. they will fool
themselves"

Investments are Heavy and PayrOlls
Help to Keep Local Money In Con-
slant Circulation.

The Twin Falls country is exceed
ingly fortunate in having two very
thriving flour mills operating in it's
territory. These mills located at Kim
berly and Twin Falls, are doing a
great deal toward the growth of the
community outside of the investment
of large capital and the payment Of
taxes, in that they put into circula-
ton a large sum for wheat purchased.
BY reason of the saving on freight the
mills are able to pay higher price
than the market and for this reason
one or two cents additional price
have made money for many ranchers
A careful estimate of the money paid
out in 1914 for wheat by the two mills
is $4,000 for wheat alone. On top
of this each is distributing hand
some payroll to its employees which
goes into the pockets of the business

Many Automobiles Boosting
Selling of Accessories
INVEST THOUSANDS In HAND
SOMELY EQUIPPED GARAGES
Business Increasing in Twin Falls Be-
yond Expectation OF Local Garage
Owners.

Like all industries connected with
the sale and manufacture of automo-
biles the growth of the firms in this
city handling auto accessories and do
ing repairing has been phenominal.
Beginning with little equipment in
frame building, unable to accommo-
date more than one or two cars, six
years has found the leading firms of
this city well established in commodi-
GUS fireproof structures, which will
care for the growth of the city for
many years to come. The repair equip
ment capable of erecting any of the
modern cars has grown in the same
proportion until the garages of Twin
Falls are prepared to furnish first aid
to the injured auto in record time and
in most cases the parts are also ready
for the owner right in the city at some
one of the many agencies.
The first automobile in the city of
Twin Falls attracted as much atten-
tion as the first passenger train and
that is going some. Strange to say
| Hank Ford landed one of his cars in
among the first, a little runabout
| which ran until there was nothing left
to runabout Since then Twin Falls
and Twin Falls tract residents have
taken to autos like ducks to the wa
| ter until at the present time there are
| tn1
in this county and the number is
growing.
| Good Roads on the Increase.
| One of the prime factors in the
growth of the automobile industry In
this section has been the constant en-
deavor on the part of the citizens to
improve the roads. In five years the
transformation has been most wonder
full until in every direction from the
county seat, can be found finely built
turnpikes, roads which will bear COM
parison with those of the east. These
roads are being added to each year
until the Twin Falls county will soon
have a place with many older counties
in older states for the progressive road
building. With the advent of the au
tomobile on the ranch, and Twin Falls
county has many farmer auto fanatics,
!, there has been even greater attention
to the care and upkeep of the road
until very few cases of road flooding
, are recorded each year in an irri-
, gated country where water can get
away mighty easy Where the natural
desert roads once wound around
through the sagebrush, the whole
country today is mapped out into or
4 derly sections which are passable al
p any season of the year due to the ex
pert road work which has marked the
coming of the motor car.

DARIUS

The neigh Of a horse made Darius
King Of Persia, the six c~ontendlng
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom. This ancient method OF
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
II our partisan factions and petty pol-
iticisns could only settle their dis
putes BY the neigh Of a horse, the
bark OF a dog or the bray Of a donkey,
1t would be a great blessing and would
give our citizens a better opportunity
to pursue the vocations Of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political pluma

Through the Press Service of Agri-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation win be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk. and men
who talk seldom achieve, There is
no such thing as a noisy thinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
Of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar Of civilization a few
centuries away.
TOO often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him" Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
Of its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross, progress with

FREE PORTS
BUILDERS OF
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo.
PRlATlONs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era Of marine development, The
wreckage of European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the weird but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our dag
is seldom seen in foreign ports, If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce Of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion Of u ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over $51,OOO,.
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $50. 100000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress, It takes
out the unnecessary Link in the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and et.
fectively secured.

moved on two-wheeled carts driven,
and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while
her artists were painting divine
dreams on canvas, the streets of
proud Athens were lighted by fire
brands dipped in tallow.
The genius of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds of today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving 1t. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach in creative genius or mas
terful skill in organization, the mar
velous achievements of the tremend-
GUS men of the present day. Edison
can press a button and turn a light
on multiplied millions Of homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions Of people; Nc
Cormick's reaper can harvest the
worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en-
CINE moves the commerce of land
and sea.
The greatest thing a human being
car do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did it; Kings decree it, and
wise men teach it. 1t is the glory of
this practical age that Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
the j~anitor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind; Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for its servants.

On Two-C Gent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad were sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost Of
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used In
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes Of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost Of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated, This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court, Its decision responds
to the judgment Of the fair.minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that. even though
a railroad earns a surplus on a par.
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling 1t to haul another's
person OF property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com.
pany. II the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not ever up by requiring the railroad
to carry other trafic for nothing or
for less than cost.
The decision is a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies, The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for com
Polling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. It would not satisfy the
a who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reafirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"
