Indebtedness Is $109,801,

Claiming the amount Of it's indebt-

Of the gas company, called at the col
lector's office with catchel contain

The difference in the amount claim
ed by the District and offered by the
gas light company Is the assessment
on raw materials used in connection
with the manufacture of gas.
Unless 1t Is paid within a specified
time, the probable course of the col.
lector will be to follow the procedure
of last year, which was to threaten
the company with the distraint of its
property.
Payment Of S31,321.62 was then
made by the company under protest
following which suit WAS instituted
against the District to recover this
amount. A demurrer was filed by the

GERMANY WILL NOT YIELD

President Wilson and his advisers
believe that Germany will yield when
the text of the American note is made
known to them. Those who know the
real situation in the Fatherland, are
not 30 optimistic and feel that under
on the point of submarine warfare,
when it is the best weapon with which
to fight his enemies. There is little
in the past actions of Germany upon
which the optimists can base their
reasoning Germany did not hesitate
to break faith with little Belgium in
order to strike France. Germany has
not hesitated to use every means pos
sible to successfully wage war. The
German people believe that the sub
marine war is justified because they
are fighting for their existance, as
they fully believe. They also believe
that the United States should shut off
the sale of war munitions to England
and the Allies and right or wrong will
not be adverse to showing their disap-
prevail to America even at the cost of
war. Just as long as the German peo-
pie can be fooled and made subservient
to the German war machine, just so
long will they earnestly fight as d.
rected by the war lords. Sentiment in
Germany like that of any country, is
long as the German press, rightly or
wrongly, advocates the practices of
savagery in warfare, Just so long will
the German people figure that such
practices are justified by the condi-
tons which confront them. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that President Will
son is right and that Germany will re-
cede from her position, but it does not
not look possible.

AMERICA FEEDS THE NATIONS


Scarcely day passes but what the
big dailies of this country note the
populations in the war zone and with
the crying need an intimation that
America is expected to give aid. Amer
lea has given aid generously and well
and still expects to give aid, where alb
solutely necessary. But it looks as
though rich countries like Russia, Ger
many, France and England should
care for their own poor out of the war
budgets. If the warning nations have
to care for the people left destitute by
reason of the war it will appreciably
cut down the duration of the war and
bring peace. On the other hand every
bit of aid given from this country in
creases the grip of the war on all peo-
pie. 1t may seem heartless to advocate
such measure, yet for America to re-
fuse any aid, except for the money
which comes for such foods, will ter
inmate the war and is therefore the
wisest and best course to pursue. With
the war ended the restitution of the
poor people will pass away and the
wheels OF industry set going. America
is not being generous to the poor
of Europe in helping the prolonging
of the war.

THE AMERICAN RULE

All Americans will abide by the
rule now being established for the
press to criticise the bench. The
modern and better view is that courts
are mans invention, the result of a
slow evolution. They are merely hui
man institutions, have human limita-
tons and frailties, hence are subject
to err and stand to have their errors
hammered out on the anvil of public
discussion and cured by popular ex-
posture. 1t is vain to contend that
they are immune from a Just scrutiny
and criticism to keep them up to a
high efficiency of service.
If it is not lawful to criticise the
courts, then Mr.. Lincoln was guilty
when he attacked the bred Scott de-
cision, and also was it wrong to offer
any criticism of the legal tender de-
cision, the income tax decision, the
rule-of-reason doctrine in the rate
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1915-05-18

cases which were all attacked and de-
Tended by publishers, on the platform
and in the press.
The abstract right to inspect and
criticise the acts and doctrines of the
courts is the rule in America, and to
oppose that right is futile. We do not
believe that great courts and judges
are opposed to the general rule or
seek its modification.
To quote President Wilson, the press
deals in the raw material out of
regulations of the bar, the clergy, the
statesmen, the author, that men are
made and unmade by public opinion
and in that way the press has a giants
strength for veal or ill. You hold us
in the hollow of your hand" 1t is
rule that the court or judge is not al
the newspapers or on the platform.
The unwritten law is that the court or
Judge criticised by being misquoted
misunderstood, aspersed. ridiculed,
must suffer in silence. Therefore, if
the soundness of the reasoning of
judgment is doubted or assailed by a
newspaper, then a fair synopsis of
those reasons should be CLEANED from
the original source, the opinion itself,
and printed by the newspaper, and the
unsoundness pointed out. You cannot
logically maintain that you have the
right in augmentation, when your
reader will never hear anything ex-
cept what they are told, to assign false
reasons to the court or garble them
or assign none at all, and yet de-
nounce the courts reasoning as in
valid is wrong. If the point is obtuse
you can let it alone or inform your
self by investigation. If the court is
enforcing a statute and you don't like
it, your grievance is against the sta
tute, the lawmaker, and not against
the court, and you should frankly say
so. The excuse of necessary haste,
or striking while the iron is hot, can
never be allowed, for misstatement
or slovenly statement, it may in fact
excuse none at all, so states ex-Jus-
tice Lamm in his recent talk on a
"free press" Criticism is the privilege
of the press and of the people of the
courts in this country, beyond all ques-
ton. But, it should at all times be
| just and after careful consideration of
both sides of the case that it may be
just and based upon facts.-Idaho

nrday, should plan at an early date
TO make a trip to the camp and thus
express the good will which this city

SECRETARY DANIELS DEFENSE

II constitutional pessimists found
reading to their taste in the recent
jeremiads on the decadence and de-
of the United States navy
quoted in our issue of April "a, the
optimists may now console themselves
with a picture of the naval situation
from the pen of Secretary Josephus
Daniels. While the facts set forth by
Mr.. Daniels are received with gratula-
ton by the press in general, not every
paper goes as far as the New York
World (Dem), which declares that
every charge lodged against the navy
by it's critics is thus disproved." Yet
even the Republican Baltimore Ameri-
can remarks that "Mr. Daniels is to be
congratulated upon making a state
ment that gives information and that
affords relief and the independent
Washington Post predicts that the
Secretearys "dignified reply" to his
critics will go far toward combining
criticism to legitimate differences of
opinion as to policies" This reply,
thinks the Philadelphia Record Dem.)
disposes of the almost reasonable in
situations from Republican sources
that the navy has suffered diminu-
ton of efficiency during the past two
years. And the Springfield Republic
can Und), while conceding that Sec
rotary Daniels letter may not tell the
whole story" finds it refreshing and
comforting to have something said
about the navy that does not picture it
as mere floating scrap-heap."
Statistics of the recent growth of the
navy, remarks the New York Times
(Ind. Dem.), have not hitherto been
presented in a form so ineligible to
the plain citizen" These statistics are
made public by Secretary Daniels at
the request of President Harry A.
Garfield, of Williams college, who ex-
pressed a wish "to be in position to
meet the statements made by Repre-
sentative Gardner of Massachusetts,
alleging that the United States is at
present unprepared for military emer-
gencies." According to this official
statement the navy is larger and better
equipped with guns, torpedoes, subma-
rines, mines, and aircraft than ever be-
| fore, with a personnel for the first
! time in wears uD to the maximum eS-
tablished by law Secretary Daniels
points out that under the Wilson adj
ministration SO new naval vessels have
been placed in commission, while ar
rangements have been made for the
construction of II more; the naval per-
sonnet has increased nearly 5000;
| $70,000,000 has been appropriated for
naval construction, as compared with
$26,000,000 appropriated in the two
preceding years; millions have been
saved on naval contracts through the
development of competitive bidding
and the ordnance department has
developed 14-inch gun that will
shoot farther, shoot straighter, and hit
harder than any other gun now in use
or known to be designed by a foreign
country" To quote more at length:
There are now in active service
fully commissioned, 225 vessels of al
J character, which is 36 more than were
