an electric engine amount to only about
cents per mile. A steam locomotive
must be overhauled at the end of
division for repairs, while an electric
locomotive may be run indefinitely
without being held up at division

portant advantage in favor Of electric
engines Is in what is called regenera-

subsequent use Of 81 per cent of the
electric energy required to move a train

REVOLUTION IN RAILROAD oPER.
ALTON

The adoption OF electric power by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road company, and its successful test
run on the division between Deer Lodge
and Three Forks, means that 1t is only
a question Of a short time when all
transcontinental roads will be utilizing
electricity on Rocky Mountain divi-
sions, and as time goes on It is safe
to predict that this mysterious unseen
power will supplant steam on practical
ly all the railroads of the country. That
the lead of the Milwaukee will be fol-
lowed by western roads operating in
the mountains is certain. The Denver
& Rio Grande has already begun cleo
trio installation and 1t was announced
several months ago that the Northern
Pacific was investigating the possibili-

LINCOLN DAY BANQUET

It has been suggested by republicans
various parts of the county that a
banquet be held on Lincoln's birthday,
and the idea meets with much favor
generally. The elements opposed to the
republican party in Shoshone county
are such that render II necessary to
enter the campaign with united
front, and nothing tends more strongly
TO draw the party together than to
meet at the banquet board on the an
niversary of the birth of greatest Of
ell republicans Shoshone county is
normally republican and a thorough
organization is the first step toward
Wrestling it from the control Of the
democracy. We concede that 1t will
be no easy task, but it can be done
if every republican will make the fight
his fight placing the success of the
party above all personal consideration
Throughout the nation and state the
stage is being set for the battle of
1916 and indications all point to the
triumph of republicanism. In every
county in Idaho republicans are look
ing forward with confidence to reclaim
ing the state and in most of them
preparations are being made to raise
the curtain on the political stage by
banquet on Lincoln's birthday. Ger
tainly the work to be done and the
certainty Of success with proper effort
is sufficient to inspire republicans
with enthusiasm. The basic principles
of the republican party are those for
which Lincoln stood, and his birthday
should not be permitted to pass with
out assembling to honor his memory
and renewing allegiance to the prin-
ciples to which he was devoted

mining WORLDLY

Pacific coast cities are destined to
become marketing centers for the lead
output of the western mines, owing to
the changed commercial conditions
brought about by the European war, in
the opinion Of some of the best posted
mining men in the country,
China, which consumes immense
quantities of lead annually, formerly
got the most of its supply from Aus
ralia, but since the war expectation
from the island has been prohibited
and shortage has resulted Ordinarily
small amounts of lead reach China
rom Japan, Great Britain and Russia,
but these sources are now cut off also
nd 1t Is said that the price in Hong
1ong has risen from sos to SIP gold

Il lead is used annually in China man

he pewter industry. 1t is said the
METAL shortage is becoming serious. An
immense amount of lead is produced
ach year in the intermountain regions
including the Occur d'Alene district,
which is cerdited with approximately
ne-third of the entire domestic out
put, and the most of this is marketed
in New York. st. Louis and other east
I'm points. But If China needs the
METAL there seems no logical reason
or making the shipments to Hongkong

probable that the consignments may
DON be routed to the Orient via San
Francisco and Seattle. With the North
port smelter operating and the propos-
ed Bunker Hill & Sullivan plant in
commission, either at Kellogg or some
'ther point in the northwest, practical
ly all the lead ores of the Occur
d'Alenes will be reduced at places
tributary to coast ports. 1t would then
seem probable that northern Idaho will
be in an exceptionally advantageous
position to supply the needs of the
orient.

THE "WIckEDNEss" OF Mr.
CANNON.
(st. Louis Globe Democracy


A Chicago dispatch quotes Uncle
Joe Cannon, on his way to begin his
twentieth term in congress, as being
bent on living down his undeserved
stated that he will eliminate all ex-
pletives from his conversation and that
he will occasionally appear without the
cigar that has made life one glad, sweet
song for eartoonists. There is no in
timation that he has been moved to
this decision by evangelists. Neither
Billy Sunday nor Mr.. Scoville of JEFF
lferson City has wrestled with him. The
greatest living congressional debater
and one of the Wisest men of his gem
Grafton has concluded that the youth
of the land should be disabused of
misconceptions that he has allowed to
persist merely out of kindness to re-
porters. Uncle Joe's reputation for
profanity has been almost as great a
boon to reporters as the splendor of
Hamilton Lewis effulgent waistcoats
and radiant whiskers.
Mr. Cannon may also have in mind
the respect due the memory of his
Quaker ancestry. While his utterances
can never become drab and his innate
pugnacity can never be quite overcome,
Mr.. Cannon may succeed in proving
to part of the world what his acquaint-
Iances already know, that he has no
irreverence for his Maker and that he
needs no Fictitious aid of expletive to
be picturesque. 1t is doubtful If Mr.
Cannon ever used the name of the
Deity in light way. Some of his old
est friends, at least, never heard him.
He has, In moments of great stress
used an appellative and an adjective
which might be misunderstood by the
vulgar But Mr.. Cannon's friends have
understood. There was never any con-
domination in his heart Uncle Joe is
an odd kind of hypocrte, who tries
to conceal tender heart with ferocious
expressions. He could not be really
wicked If he wanted to; it is not in
him. Furthermore, he seldom uses an
expletiye, his reputation to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. His profanity
is mostly myth But it may endure
in popular fancy. for myths have a
longevity, in spite of what
the poets and moralists say.

INJURY TO MINE TIMBERMEN

The Michigan Supreme court was
lately called upon to determine the
liability of mining company for in
jury to timberman, caused by fall
Of rock, where he entered the place
without looking and in advance of the
usual announcement of the timber boss
that 1t was safe to enter. (Vrelenich VS..
Calumet & Hecla Mining Co, 154
Northwestern Reporter, 39). The court
holds that there can be no recovery
under such circumstances; that the
rule of law that requires an employer
to use reasonable care to provide a
safe place of work for his employees
does not extend to the occupation Of
timbermen, for the very nature of their
work is to make places safe for the
miners to follow them. The employers
full duty to timbermen is discharged.
the court declares, when reasonable
rules are promulgated, the workmen
are properly instructed, and when
suitable tools and materials are fur
nlshed for the work, with competent
men to perform 1t.
The fellow-servant rule was applied
In a similar case by the same court

IDAHO TAX PROBLEMS

LEADING CITIZENS OF STATE
CALL MEETING TO ORGANIZE
A TAX ASSOCIATION

Acting upon a suggestion c Gazing
rom the department of economics of

purpose Of organizing state tax asso-
citation. The call is signed by M.

son and Howard T. Lewis. All persons
who are sufficiently interested are
urged to attend. A tentative program
has been prepared consisting of papers
on various subjects bearing on the
question of taxation, the sessions oc-
cupying two days beginning on Mon
day, December q. The necessity for
such an organization is set forth in
letter, from which the following is
an extract:
Many Questions to Be Solved.
1t is felt that in Idaho, where the
tax problem is so serious, some OPP
portunity should be given for frank,
candid and open discussion of an alb
solutely nonpartisan character of these
mooted questions. The idea is not to
add planks to anybody's platform but
to criticise in constructive way in
order that the state may the sooner
find a solution Of her difficulties. The
idea is not to present a panacea for
the situation. There are no pet doc
trines to exploit. 1t will recognize the
ramification of the problem and the
existence of controversial questions. 1t
viii take no sides. Its program Is mu-
tual study, cooperation and discus
sion. It's object is to make tax laws
simpler, saner more just and more eff
fective, but 1t aims to do this only
after careful consideration by all who
will bring to the inquiry honest. I'M
selfish, sympathetic and patriotic eff
fort.
Provide for Exchange of Ideas
AS the situation is at present there
Is an inevitable tendency for serious
OF our tax problems to pro-
seed blindly and without semblance of /
harmony or cohesion. No clearing
house for the open exchange Of argu-
nent exists. This is most unfortunate
particularly since other states have
ound common meeting place in their
ak associations. These are organiza-
ions, usually affiliated with the Ma
ional tax association. created not to
'dvance any propaganda or pet hobby |
'ut to give an opportunity for serious
hinkers to meet In calm deliberation
With thought only for the truth and
or the facts.

on the ground that the members of the
two crews were fellow servants. The
court expressly decides that it is not

force In Michigan, generating an en-
ployer from liability for their neg
ligence toward one another, that they
be engaged in the common work at the
same time. 1t is sufficient that they
be engaged in the same work designed
to effect the same general purpose.
