Though they were reelected, the
vote cast for Commissioners Woody
and Lyon shows decided weakening
of the ring that has dominated Latah
county politics for number of years,
and insures its breaking up at the
next election.
The most vigorous campaign that
has been made in many years was
Mr.. Lyon and Mr. Oyersmith. AS has
happened before, the remainder of the
ticket was neglected and the organ
izatien's management concentrated up
on these three men in an effort to save
the machine. The aim of the man
agement was evident from its cam
paign two years ago. from it's activ-
tiles in the campaign just closed, and
in the remark of Joe Collins, who said
that they would rather lose all the
rest Of the ticket than to lose the COM
missioners.
The democrats had practically no
chance of electing a commissioner, al
ter the republican organization fear
ing the defeat of Mr.. Woody, threw
its support to John Cone, whom il orr |
ginalIy intended to defeat. Mr.. Green
made no campaign at all, sickness in |
his family and business responsible |
tiles not permitting him to leave Troy. |
Mr.. Reilly is not widely known i'll the |
county, and sickness prevented him |
from making a campaign.
After all, the reelection of Mr.. |
Lyon and Mr.. Woody is perhaps the be-
ginning of the best solution of the |
muddle into which they have put tne
oounty's affairs. Court proceedings to
prevent their paying debts incurred |
for general road work out of taxes
levied as special road taxes, and suits [
to enjoin the collection of the special
taxes levied on petitions not signed
by majority of the resident taxpayers
will have the effect of enlightening the
Latah county people on the road tax
matter as no amount of explaining
will do in campaign time.

.ADAMSON LAW To
Be IGNORED TILL
COURTS DECIDE

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Railroads
throughout the entire country are busy
notifying their employees that the
Adamson law, recently enacted at the
behest of the Wilson administration, is
to be ignored in making up payrolls
after January 1st. 1917, and that such
procedure will be followed until the
final issue involved is determined be-
fore the supreme court.
Whether such action on the part of
the railroads will precipitate nation
wide strike, such as was threatened
when the law was enacted is unknown,
though in view of the recent statement
of A. D. Garrettson, head of the Order
OF Railway Conductors, and spokes.
n an sor representatives of the four
great rairos0 brotherhoods, such an
eventuaiity may occur. In his state
m ant, given OFT nearly a month ago,
('arrettson declared the railroad broth
erhocds had Lot declared the threaten
ed strike abandoned. but had merely
delayed putting it into effect following
enactment of the Adamson law, and
that unless the railroads abided by the
provisions of the act, in letter and
spi:;t. the strike would be made eff
fective Immediately.
Subsequent conferences between
Samuel Gonpers, president of the
American Federation of Labor; Frank
Morrison, secretary of the federation;
Mr. Garrettson, representatives of the
four railroad brotherhoods and otfic-
ials of the department of justice lend
color to the statement that no strike
will be called. 1t is known hat as the
instance of President Wilson, and ad-
ministration officials, that the Adam
son law is to be hurried to final hear
ing before the Supreme court, and
that the railroad brotherhoods will
be burdened with the expense of
resisting railroad suits instituted to
break down the law, and because Of
these facts it is believed here that
no strike will be called, but that the
labor leaders, without formally reced-
ing from their position, will delay
ordering a general strike until the
supreme court has passed upon the
merits of the law. The leading rail-
roads, it is also known. have agreed
not to pursue diliatory tactics in op-
posing the law. and the test case al
ready instituted in the federal district
courts and decided favorable to the
railroads, will be advanced rapidly Oh
the supreme court calendar.

PUBLIC SERVICE
COMPANY GETS A
RATE INCREASE

The Railroad Commission of Georgia
has granted the request of the Ameri-
Gus Public Service Co.'s request fol-
an increase in rates on electricity and
gas. The formal authority for max
ing the increase to begin on January
lst, was received this morning, it be-
ing addressed to Frank Lanier, secre-
tary of the Americas Public Service
Co.; Mayor l.. G. Council, of Americas
and Attorney w. A. Dodson.
The maximum rate for commercial
and residence lighting service is 10c
per XVIII. and shows a scale down to
SC per XVIII. The minimum charge for
month is $1.00.
The maximum rate for commercial
power service is &c per XVIII, going
down to | 1-2c per XVIII.
The fat gas rate for illuminating
and fuel purposes is placed at $1.40 per
cubic feet. The minimum charge for
Q month of $100.
The complete scale of rates appears
in today's Times Recorder, as publish
ed by the Americus Public Service Co,
giving notice of the increase to be al
lowed, beginning January 1st.
A penalty of 10 per cent. of the bill
is allowed. If not paid by the tenth OF
the following month and service will
be discontinued. If not paid by the fif-
teenth of the month Fifty cents is the
Charge of re-instating.
The opinion which allowed the in
crease in rates was written by Chair
man C. Murphy Gambler. It is a dis
cussion of the matter, and shows why
the first petition was declined and the
second was allowed. Manager Joe
Johnson states that the new rates are
in keeping with the rates of neighbor-
irg cities.

SHIPPERS To MEET
IN MACON ON 18TH

MACON, Ca, Dec. 27.-For the pur-
pose of unionizing their strength
against Georgia railroads i,R their cam
paign for bigger money, shippers of
Georgia will hold meeting in Macon
on January 18th, and permanently or
ganize the Georgia Shippers associa-
ton.
The famous rate case will be re-
sumed before the railroad commission
within few weeks, and the shippers
are hopeful of winning the fight
against freight rate increases, propos-
ed by railroads of the state. The ship
pers, therefore, must get together in
order to protect their own interests rs
well as others.
An increase in freight rates would
affect every individual and class in
Georgia. To every live shipper, this
fact is thoroughly understood. But
forces must be combined if good re-
suits are expected.
Sec'y. B. Gilham, of the Shippers
association, is going to broadcast nj
tees of the meeting all over the state,
ard it behooyes every shipper and bus
mess firm to give the association their
financial as well as moral support.
Rate experts to gather more evidence
must be set to work and correspond
ence must be carried on. Some money
is necessary to defray this expense.
President w. C. Vereen and other
officers urge the shippers to come for
ward and help. lest freight rates on
every class of freight shipped from one
point to another in the state will be
raised
