TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION
The time is fast approaching when

The time is fast approaching wheI
politics will occupy the center Of
the stage and we feel it to be a
very good time to state to our
readers just what the attitude oi
this paper is going to be with re.
gard to all matters of political
nature. The name OF the paper
would naturally Lead to the belied
that it is an organ of the Republican
party, but such is by no means the
case. The editor of the paper ia a
Republican and he expects TO exer-
else the right and privilege which is
accorded to all American citizens, as
citizen, but running a newspaper
is matter of business and there 10
NO more reason why a newspaper
man should use his business to boost
the interests OF political organiza-
tiOn than there is for the banker or
the merchant or the butcher of the
blacksmith or any other business
man to place his business exclusive
ly at the disposal of some political
party or some faction of political
party. We expect to print the
news, political as well as all other
classes, but when it comes to giving
away publicity not OF strictly news
character, or publishing a lot OF
stuff purely In the interest of some
political party or candidate, we shall
expect compensation in keeping with
the services rendered. We hope that
none of our readers will get the inn
preston that the editorial policy OF
the paper lis for sale. 1t is not. The
editorial columns will at all times ex-
press the views of the editor upon
public questions and the editor will
be wholly responsible for all that ap-
pears there. 1t Ia our purpose to
make the Republican represent this
community and county so far as we
are able to do 50, and all the people,
no matter what may be their politi-
cal faith, may come TO this office
and discuss any question without the
least fear of having their condolences
betrayed.

We see no cause for alarm in the
TACT that the trustee of the Mountain
Home Irrigated FarmG associat ton
has asked the Utilities Commission for
permission to raise the charges for
rental rights for water from $3.50
per acre to $14.10. We do not feel
that the commission will grant any
auch request, and 1t will give the
people a chance to present their side
OF the case and once and for all
time settle me question of what the
charge lis going to be for the use
OF this water. 1t will be we'll for
the company to know whether or not
they can afford to operate this plant,
and 1t will be Well for the people to
know just what they will be- expect
ed to pay for water rentals. The
thing to do at this time is to gather
all the available information on this
subject for presentation to the Utih-
ties Commission and to urge a hear
Ing at the earliest possible moment.

such an expression OF confidence and
