RAILROADS ARE FORCED TO HELP DEVELOP

The Oregon Short Line railroad has always been ready
and has always lent its assistance every look
ing to the settlement and development of the state Re-
newed activity upon the part Of this and other
railroads is looked forward to direct result Of the
construction of the Panama canal thoughtful local
observer has called The Tribunes attention the fact
that the Panama canal has forced down railroad freight
rates 1t is stated that the railroads compete with
the canal freight cities In consequence the
railroads will henceforth have depend upon the interior
Tor most OF their business and all their profits This
means that the railroads will start to settle and
develop the interior scale they have before
tempted. The construction of the Panama canal has
forced them to this effort
we all know what it means when the great railroad
companies get busy settlement and development work
lhey VIII spends hundreds of thousands of dollars in adj
Vertlsing More than that they will be forced to interest
capitalists who will do development work In this way
irrigation projects may be financed that are now anguish

THE REDUCTION OF THE COST OF GOVERN

You get very little for nothing in government as well
as in other things If the undertakes to

life and promote your general welfare it will
than if it simply undertakes maintain order No fair
computation be made that does take into consdera
ton the services rendered. and it must be kept in mind
that every service, matter by whom performed must
be paid for The increased activity of municipal and
I'federal government during the past twenty years is
wholly responsible for the high of government The
government to-day is doing hundreds of things for
individual that it did think of doing 20 years ago. The
people, instead of forever beratng the high which
they subject should consider the service which they
receive They should consider whether this service
be better and more economically performed by the
than by the individual In this and in this way alone
can they decide whether taxes too high
During the past ten years municipal, state and federal
governments have undertaken safeguard the health of

A THEORY SOME PEOPLE HOLD.

During the past few months the people Of Idaho nave
closely attended the activities of Senator Borah Some
time ago they ceased to accept his evaluation of his
services They asking themselves this question: what
has Senator Borah really accomplished for Idaho" The
is that he has really accomplished very little He
has been member of the United States eight
years and the results small indeed He has fdded
away his time wavering in his allegiance undecided in
his and distusul of his convictions He is
political attracted first by this and then by that
passing object He have started from nowhere
and is now homeward bound.

Here in Idaho he is about accomplish something but it

who has visited Washington says that Congress ready
to act in accordance with needs but action

show that Congress willing to go a long way with
MT Borah and Congress did long way That nothing

took Congress with him.

MEASLES PREVALENT
IN IDAHO
New Rules of Quarantine Must Be
Observed Throughout State.

The person who knows, looks upon
measles with fear in his heart. and
we'll he may.
Persons who don't know, and their
name is legion, go laundering on in
their careless, unthinking. Indifferent
way and daily our children are paying
the. price in precious lives.
To the health officer alive to the
facts and awake to his responsibilities
there is nothing more perplexing and
little that appears to be more in need
OF correction than the present day al
most universal Indifference to meas
les.
As destroyer of child life measles
holds a position very close to the top
OF the LIST. In Idaho in 1913 upwards
OF ten times as many little graves
were dug on account of that disease,
rs were dug on account Of that ter
ribly dreaded disease, smallpox, and
smallpox was quite prevalent through
OUT the state, too. some SS4 cases be-
ing reported, 1t is very doubtful
whether these reported deaths repre-
ent even small percentage of those
actually due to measles as many of
these deaths arc reputed to be due to
pntunl Onld.
In Idaho at the present time there
are thousands of cases of measles and
numbers of deaths are occurring.
The widespread prevalence of the
disease is in largest measure due to
improper handling of cases, to the
loosencsS OF quarantine, and is in di
rect proportion to the ignorance, care
iesSneSs, indifference or lawlessness
of parents and attendants.
Measles is wholly unnecessary dis
ease and no one should have it. To
wlltully expose a child to it is moth
ing short of criminal and to permit
child to go about spreading the in
lection among other children is. in
deed, quite as serious an otfense,
The suppression OF measles is a
matter of strict isolation of the in
fected bearer.
The State Board of Health, be-
EeVing that the time has arrived to
clamp down the lid on measles. has
recently formulated and promulgated
rules OF quarantine for measles which
must be observed throughout the en-
tire state of Idaho.
The new state rules governing
measles, briefly stated, are as follows:

The Tribune is greatly impressed with the hallaba

CAESAR ON THE AISNE.

1t has repeatedly been pointed out
that 1900 years ago Julius Caesar
fought on the backgrounds of the
ASlne, which are now the location of
the fierce lighting between the Ger
mans and the French. 1t is probably
less known. however, that in this pres
ent war Caesars "Commentari de
Bello Calico" are used by French Of
hcerS as a practical text book on
strategy. The war correspondent of
the Corriere deal Sierra reports this
somewhat astonishing fact.
A few weeks ago he visited his
friend, commander colonel of a
French regiment, in his trench. which
was furnished with bare necessities
only, In corner on a small table law
the open volume of "Commentarii
Caesars, which the visitor took into
ms hand out of curiosity in order to
see what passage the colonel had just
Deen reading. There he found the de-
scription OF the fight against the Re-
mer, who, at that time, lived in the
neighborhood of the present city of
Rheims. Principally with the aid of
ms Numidian troops, Caesar at that
time had prevented the Remer from
crossing the River AXona, today call
ed the Aisne.
Caesar camp was only few kilo-
meters from Berry-au- Bac. in the
vicinity of Pontavert, the headquart-
ers OF the division to which the repi-
ment Of the colonel belonged. This
colonel had received the order to
cross the River Aisne with Moroccan
and Spanish troops. and for this pur-
pose he had studied the description
