THE INSURANCE RATES.

The figures furnished from the state insurance depart
ment showing the premiums and losses of the fire nsur
companies in this state, do not justify the increase
in rates demanded by the companies.
These figures show that the losses paid some GIG
per cent of the premium receipts leaving the companies
margin of than 80 per cent profit not counting the
cost OF securing the business Experience it is claimed
has demonstrated that companies cannot long continue in
the business where the losses exceed 10 per cent If that
be true Idaho companies to be the safe side with
losses not quite 81 per cent.
While these figures might be considered justfying
the maintenance of the present rates. they certainly do not
justify an increase in those rates.
So far the attorney generals letter to the governor
is concerned it shows greater eageess to play to the
galleries than does to the public interests Every
school boy must know that insurance rates fixed by
board comprised Of members representing leading insr
companies There would Of course be denial that
the rates charged in Idaho the rates fixed by this board
and put into effect by agreement between the companies.
The attorney general cannot be assumed to be ignorant
not to know what is generally known, the inquiry
of the governor became clear inquiry to whether
not these WellknOWn facts constitute violation Of the
antitrust law OF this state and if has the state any
remedy 1t ought cost the state one-cent piece to find
this ouuness it should be necessary to hire assistant
attorney general to advise the attorney general whether
known condition of facts constitutes violation of law.

Junk.
The waste in every household is
considerable. Part is unavoidable waste
and part is necessary waste. Alto
gether too much food goes into the
garbage can. Clothes are not taken
care of, are not pressed or mended, or
hung up when not in use and so be-
come shabby long before their useful
ness is ended. Shoes that with a lit
tie mending would go many a mile are
thrown out, and throughout the house
there is waste. The attic bears tes-
timony to this fact.
Waste that is waste should not be
boarded, but turned into profit. Old
rubbers, rags, iron, can be turned into
many an honest penny, and clothing
that has served it's day may be sold
to second hand dealers glad to get
such articles.

GENERAL, ToWNsHEND,s SURRENDER.

After enduring a siege of 143 days, and with relief
column only twenty miles away General Townshend last
week surrendered the town of kut E Aara and the gar
Of 10000 defending 1t. He forced to this
action by the lack Of supplies. The Turks in suf
cent force only to invest the town closely but also
hold off two armies marching to its relief The whole
Mesopotama campaign has, therefore, up the present
time been failure, from the British point of view. The
immediate object the capture Of Bagdad. The Brit
sh got within eighteen miles Of that city, but de-
feated by largely reinforced Turkish army and forced
fall back to Ku Ell Amara which they reached last
December.
1t is believed that at every stage of the campaign the
British have been heavily outnumbered. When General
Tovnshend began his march from the head of the
gulf in November, 1914, it is said that he did not have
than 10000 men at the outside These enough
to carry him. after much hard fighting and perhaps harder
marching, to within eighteen miles of his goal Then he
compelled to fight army said to have been six times
large as his He not, and probably could not
be- reinforced The Turks the other hand rushed
troops to the 'front.' and at the end had enough to hold
General Townshends army under siege and to beat back
the relief columns.
Whether this is another of British bungling not
yet known There to be doubt that Townshend
and his soldiers did all that could be asked OF them The
held for 143 days and thus the siege point of
duration compares favoraby with the most famous
in history The siege of Londonderry in 1859 lasted 103
days Lucknow held out from July to September but it
had to submit to second siege that lasted till November
Ladysmh in the Boer war; relieved the end of 122
days, and Kimberley in 123 days. The German siege of
Paris IN the FrancoPussian lasted 131 days The
Russians held Port Arthur against the Japanese for 153
days. During the Crimean Kars held 165 days.
In civil the siege of Petersburg lasted 265 days
One Of the objects of this Bagdad movement was to
draw Turks from Gallpol It certainly drew them from
somewhere Only two conclusions to be possible,
either that the English sent too few roopsthough per-
haps they sent all that avaabeor else that they
underestimate the power OF the Turks. The only
cesses won SO far for the entente allies in the east
those of the Russians What effect the surrender of Kut
Ell Anara may have the brilliant campaign of the
Grand Duke Nicholasswe have yet to see.

origin of the fire was not ascertained.
The Indiana has been out OF COM

been tied up here.
The Indiana was sister ship OF

The present marriage rate was the
highest on record, he said. Nearly
all these unions were confined to
young, strong, vigorous soldiers and
there were numerous instances of
sound and healthy girls mating with
the men of their choice even though
they had been, disfigured or disabled.
From a purely eugenic point of
view the lecturer favored war engage
ments and war marriages. "
1T has been proposed" the lee
turer went on, "to found a league for
the marrying of wounded heroes.
Perhaps II would not be easy to make
such a scheme a practical one, but
the principle is a sound one. The
economic question is the moot point,
but how many women there are in

deformities were hereditary, assuring
any skeptical hearers that there were
no records of acquired deformities,
mutilations, wooden legs or other
disablements being transmitted to
offspring.
