NORTH iDAHo's POLITICAL COM
PLANT

The lRepublicans of north Idaho are
becoming very much disturbed because
they are mot receiving their due share
of political represen :ation The time
was when north Idaho was always all
Ioted one United States senator, con-
gressman, sometimes a governor. and
always a fair share Of other officers.
Today, north Idaho is without her Unit
ed States senator as well as her con-
greesman, and has only one state Of
ficiai at Boise in the executive branch.
The trouble with north Idaho Is two
foud--the direct primary and lack Of
harmony, Under the convention plan it
was possible to give each section of
the state Its just share OF political hon
ors. This rs impossible under the d.
rect PRIMARY. 1t is not likely that
north Idaho WAL ever again secure the
representation it had under the conven-
tion system at beast not until our
present election law is materially
modified Fine spun theories about the
direct primary win not change the
condd tions, and 1t is conditions and not
theories that disturb our north Idaho
friends at this time.
But there is another factor as detri-
mental to the political interests OF the
north ais the direct primary and that
Is lack Of harmony. There has not beer

ANoTHER ADMlNIsrRATloN FIzzLI

ANOTHER ADMINISTRATION FiZzLE.
Again the word failure has been writ
ten In bold type across the text Of a
Democratic Jaw.
No hess person than Secretary of Conn
merce Redfiead has admitted the nee
essity for legislation TO provide that
'unfair composition from abroad at
the close of the war "shan not be per
mitted TO injuTe American industry
The secretary has announced that an
his next annual report to congress he
win recommend the enactment OF laws
to prevent he dumping Of foreign prod
ucts into the American market.
CONSIDERED In connection with Secre-
tary Redf,eld's statement, the action of
the Democratic congress in elimlna ting
the ..anti-dumping'' clause from the I'm
derwood tariff law assumes the proper
tions OF a colossal blunder.
That the enactment Of the Underwood
bill would render imperative at least
a small measure of protection TO Amer
ican indust ries was conceded By the
ways and means commi tee when II re-
ported the tariff blk. To provide II
the committee recommended an anti
dumping clause. declaring in it's report
that 1t was to guard the producers OF
the United States against the demoral-
izatdon OF American markets caused by
low priced foreign appropriations"
The clause provided in substance that
upon exported foreign ARTICLES not ON
the free list ALSO manufactured in the
United States, a special duty OF not to
exceed fifteen per cent should be lew
led whenever the foreign price was less
than the fair market value at home.
The house passed this provision. The
Republicans unsuccessfully tried to
amend Il and then to a man voted for
1t. The senate finance committee strucl
it from the bin. and in spite of united
Republican efforts to amend to restore
AZ, the tariff bin passed the senate
without the anti dumping clause, even
kually becoming q law I'm that FORM
The anti-dumping clause thus thrown
into the discard ny the Democrats was
very evidently a necessity. the demand
for which was acuteay emphasized BY
the passage OF the law from which II
was finally eliminated.
In recommending anti dumping legisla
tion now, Secretary Redfied has mo-
merely turned the hmelight upon beg
islative blunder of his party He has
justified the position of the Republicans
and virtually championed their cause

MORE RAILROAD REcEivERsHIPs
THAN EVER.

The United States today has more
miles OF railroad In a receivers hands
than ever before In the history Of the
country, says the Boise Statesman. On
the first day OF October There were
eighty two railways, operating 41.98s
miles Of line, under receivership. These
roads present a total capitalization of
two billions two hundred and sixty -four
million dollars. These figures represent
more than one-stCth OF the railway
mileage In the United States and ex-
coed the total railway mileage OF any
other country In the world. EXCEPT Euro
pean and Asiafic Russia combined.
The outstanding securities of these
railroads represent substantially is per
cent Of the total capitalization OF the
railways OF the United States. which is
a record of Insolvency unparalleled In
fiscal history anywhere
The nearest approach to 1t previous
ly recorded was in 1ss4--anothar year
OF Democratic administration--when &C.
cording to the Interstate commerce com
MISSIONS report, 192 roads, operating
forty Thousand eight hundred and eigh-
teen miles of line and with capital
ization of about two billion five hum
cent of the total capitalization at that
time, were being operated under the
direction of the courts. 1t will be no
ted that with a greater mileage the
capitalization of the roads now in ne
ceiverships Is less than that Of the
roads bankrupt in 1894.
1t is interesting to note that almost
one-hah of the railroad mileage now
insolvent became so since January /,
1915, there being twenty Thousand nine
hundred and forty miles of road to go
into receivers hands In that period.
Railroads. as has been so often point
ed out. reflect the general business con-
ditions Of the country. When times
are good the people travel; they buy,
sen and ship goods; and the railroad
revenues are sweiled accordingly. When
times are bad, people conomize; they
stay quietly at home; they buy little
