A SUSPICIOUS PRESS.

The British press is right suspicious
OF Germany's latest as to her sub
marine policy. 1t calls the communi-
cation an expression" by Won Bern
storff, intimates that the official note
will disclose a Joker directs atten-
ton TO the term liners used as leav-
ing open to further quibbling attacks
on vessels Of other sorts carrying pas
sengers. and one influential London
paper declares that If Pres't Wilson is
satisfied he must not expect to be
regarded by the world as a protector
of non-com batants and the champion
of international morals"
The words in quotation marks touch
point whereon a number of Ameri-
cans disagree with Pres't Wilson.
There are those who believe that the
president erred, if he went beyond
efforts TO protect American non-cOm-
batants travelling in other than ships
engaged in war business. 1t is not TO
be denied, at any rate. that the job
of protecting all the combatants
and morals of the world would be a
big one to assume, voluntarily.

You get very little for nothing in
government as well as in other things
If the government undertakes to edu
cate your children; protect your prop
erty; safeguard your life; and promote
your general welfare 1t will cost more
than If 1t simply undertakes to MAIN
tain order No fair computation can
be made that does not take into con-
sideration the services rendered, and
1t must be kept in mind that every
service no matter by whom performed,
must be paid for The increased activ-
ity of municipal, state and federal gov
eminent during the past twenty years
Is wholly responsible for the high cost
of government. The government. to-
day, Is doing hundreds of things for
the individual that 1t did not think of
doing 30 years ago. The people, in
stead of forever bearing the high taxes
to which they are subject, should con-
slider the service which they receive,
They should consider whether this
service can be better and more eco
nomically performed by the state than
by the Individual In this way, and in
this way only, car they decide whether
taxes are too high.
During the past ten years municipal
state and federal governments have
undertaken to safeguard the health
of the people of this country. The
municipalities try to prevent epidemics
of disease; they isolate cases: examine
people; fumigate houses; dispose of
refuse: and in other ways attempt to
promote the health of the community.

ANOTHER PROGRESSIVE
GETS A STATE JOB
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER PICKS
PRoGREsSlVES IN PREFER
ENcE LOYAL DEMOCRATS.

AS anticipated by the Statesman
the governor has appointed w. G
Scholtz, editor of the Western Farm.
ers' Review, the weekly edition of the
Evening Capital News, farm markets
director of the state of Idaho at a sal.
AIRY of $500 per year. The appoint
ment becomes effective on May 8, aft
err which date two of the editorial staff
of that paper will be drawing $490C
yearly from the state. while continuing
to perform their journalistic duties.
Both appointees were candidates o.
the progressive ticket during the last
state campaign. c. O. BrOxon, editor
of the Capital News, and private sec
rotary to the governor, was candidate
for state treasurer, while Scholtz as
pired to be a representative from Ada
county, says the Statesman.
Democrats Object.
Local democrats regard the appoint
ment Of these two progressives as an
effort on the governors part to build
up personal political machine and
they resent his action in going outside
the party organization for cogs. More
over they maintain that 1t is contrary
to democratic principles to employ
officials who are not in position to give
their entire attention to public duties.
The office of farm markets director
was created by the Thirteenth legis-
lature and is contrary to the COVER
nor's pet plank against the creation
of additional expensive state offices,
The charge is made that the governor
gave his sanction to the bill because it
gave him additional personal patron
age and that therefore he was insn-
cere in his plea for economy of admin
istration.
While the new official Is called a
director" it is a distinction without
a difference. so local democrats claim,
as commissioner by any other name
would be just as expensive.

Reduction of Cost of Government.

conduct Investigations: make expert

government does on a large scale that
which the state and municipality do on
small scale The activity of each
costs money. The question is. does
q this activity accomplish anything
for the health of the people? If 1t does
1t is worth while. The promotion OF
health Is worth a high tax rate in any
country.
The governments are active in behalf
of education, trade and commerce. ag-

Is trying to promote the welfare of the
people at every point.
Once in a while a siren, like Gov
ernor Alexander, comes along. He
points out that taxes are high; he d.
reefs attention to numerous boards and
many commissions he promises lower
taxes. without thought the taxpayers
commission him to reduce taxes. This
he proceeds to do In the only way in
which he can-by cutting off things
which the people have grown to want
and in many cases have grown to need
The result is that the people are still
unsatisfied. They imagined that by
some legerdemain Mr.. Alexander was
going to keep on pulling rabbits and
chickens and little pigs out of the hat
without putting anything into it like
the stage magician apparently does.
The people must learn that they will
get out of government no more than
they are willing to pay for and they
are lucky if they get all of that

GREAT POWER MERGER
IN SOUTHERN IDAHO
IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION BY
UTILITIES COMMISSION WILL
BE UNDERTAKEN.

! Investigation of the proposed mer-

panies by the public utilities commits
sion was authorized and directed Fri
day by Attorney General Peterson. He
was authorized to carry on such an in
vestigation, and in a letter to the
commission he designated that body to
make the investigation for him.
He prefaced his action by the state
ment that the rumor Is current to the
effect that the merger is to include
the Idaho Oregon Light & Power com
pany, Idaho Power & Light company.
Great Shoshone & Twin Falls Water
Power company, Idaho Railway, Light
& Power company, Southern idaho
Water Power company and Utah Pow
er & Light company.
Character Of Merger.
From the attorney general the COM
mission received authority to call be-
fore 1t such witnesses and examine
such books and records as may be nee
essary to determine:
whether such a combination or
merger had been formed or is in pro-
cess of formation and the exact nature
and effect thereof;
whether these various companies
named are subject to the laws of this
state to such extent as will give our
courts jurisdiction to restrain the for.
nation of such combination. or to dis
solve the same if it has actually been
Immed ate Report Desired.
The attorney general asked that the
commission give the matter its i'm
attention and submit as soon
as possible report to be used as q
basis for an action in court, should
such action be deemed necessary OF
advisable.
Making of such an investigation
will require the services of experts
)ut since appropriations for hiring |
such experts were vetoed by the gov
,rnor, the commission Is placed in tho |
position of being directed to make an
Investigation for which it has not suf-
icient funds.
