Aside from the improvements and extensions
made TO the distribution and lighting systems OF
the cities, towns and villages in the companys
territory, material extensions have been made
into agricultural territory, providing farmers
with many Of the convenences enjoyed by their
city neighbors. Through these extensions hun
dreds Of new customers have been supplied with
service during the past year.
Electric range cooking has shown a big in
crease and domestic science departments Of vari-
Gus high schools and colleges in the territory
served by the company are taking up the subject
and instructing students in the art of cooking
by wire"
Another interesting feature of the Utah
Power and Light companv's work in educating
the public in the of electrically operated APP
planes, is the operation of an electric washer
by every seventh residence customer connected
with the company's lines. Practically three
fourths of all the company's customers are using
electric irons Ninety-six per cent of all the
residences within three hundred feet of the dis
tribution lines of the company are using electric
service and two hundred and fifty-one miles Of
interurban electric lines, together with three
hundred and twelve miles Of street railway lines
secure all their power from the Utah Light and
Power company.
Much new work is contemplated by the com
pany throughout its entire territory during
1916. and large sums of money will be expended
in improving the company's service TO all classes
of customers, under the policy the Utah Light
and Power company is pursuing of sparing no
expense or pains necessary TO bring its electric
service TO the highest possible plane of efficiency
and economy

The past three years in the Intermountain
West have been fraught with many achieve
ments. but ii is doubtful II any line Of develop
ment work stands out in holder relief than the
progress made during these years in Southeast
ern Idaho Northern and Central Utah and West
ern Colorado, in the utilization Of natural re-
sources for the generating of electrical energy
that in turn has meant an adequate, dependable
and univers,l service throughout a territory
where II was greatly needed.
The Utah Power and Light company, organ
lied some three years ago and differed by a
number of the most successful and prominent
business men of the Intermountan West, has
successfully perfected a system Of unified hydro
electric transmission and distribution lines so
that IL now serves three hundred mile stretch
Of territory in Idaho, Utah and Western Colo
RADIO, with an electric service Of high efficiency
and economy The unificaton of a score or
more Of individual electric companies that for
merly operated throughout this territory; the
introduction of scientific management; the cree
ton Of new power houses; the storing Of waste
waters: the construction of long transmission
lines; the erection of modern sub-stations and
the extending Of the company's electric service
TO many towns and rural communities, where
electricity has not been heretofore available, all
unite TO form important factors in the company's
work of utilizing natural resources and develop
ing the entire region in which IL operates.
The physical property operated by the Utah
Power and Light company in cludes electric sta
tons with combined installed generating capa-
city Of 10000 klowatts; the operation Of fif-
teen hundred and thirty eight miles Of high
voltage transmission power and polelines, and
over a thousand miles of electric distributing
lines.
The company serves more than a hundred
communities in Utah. Idaho and Colorado. Num-
bered among the directors of the Utah Power
and Light company are men whose success has
been intimately and prominently identified with
the upbuilding and growth of the Intermountain
West.

HISTORY HAS HABIT OF REPEATING 1T.
SELF EVERY NOW AND THEN.

II has been said that history repeats itself "
But does IL? Docs democratic history and the
outcome of free trade administration repeat IL
self, so that IL is always the same or virtually
soY Below Is a quotation The Sun would like 10
have everyone read without knowing whose
words they are or when they were uttered:
while in the situation of the country there
is no cause for congratulation, this is not the
time 10 employ terms Of disgust or aggrayation.
Times are bad enough and the voice of encour-
agement IL more proper than of alarm and exag-
geraton.
'The realities are quite ugly enough, and il Is
the duty OF each OF US by word and act, insofar
as II can be done. 10 improve the present condi-
ton. But above all, we must not discourage our
government. We must uphold IL, and uphold Il
ut all times and under all circumstances not
withstanding we may not be able 10 support the
measures and policies of the present administra-
ton.
"The present national administration has been
in power now two years. They have been long,
hard years. The administration has neither had
a wise foreign policy, nor a creditable domestic
policy. We have gained no laurels in diplomacy,
no triumps in trade or commerce. We have more
than once been Inundated in our eyes, and be-
fore the eyes of the civilized world.
Our foreign policy has been weak and vacil-
lating, and unworthy government which, since
the time OF Washington, has won the commenda-
ton of the world for its just and statesmanlike
treatment OF all the foreign complications which
have arisen.
THE policy of the administration at home has
been one of distrust and disappointment. II has
diminished the revenues If the government and
decreased the occupations of the people Under
the preteXt of reducing the tariff, that they
might reduce the cost of living, they have re-
duced the living itself and left us in situation
the like of which we have never experienced be-
fore.
They have made both government and people
poor. They have reversed the revenue policy of
the government which had existed from It's foun-
dation, so that today we are collecting more
money from internal taxes than we are collecting
from customs duties.
Sounds like some candidate for the republican
presidential nomination describing present con-
ditions doesn't il? But il is not Those are
paragraphs from speech delivered by William
Mckinley in Michigan on Washngton's birth
day, 1885 How far did he miss conditions as
they actually exist today?

Gently addressed the house of representatives in
condemnation of the changes the democratic adj
ministration has made in the rural mail service.
He said: There is great dissatisfaction because
of this delayed delivery of mails and again
"Of all the changes made under any administra.
ton in any department Of the government, this
change in the rural route service has created
more discomfort, dissatisfaction and antagon-
ism" When criticisms such as this were voiced
by republicans from Northern States the an
swer of the democratic press was that II was
mere partisan carpng This expression from a
part of the country that has been especially ia
vored by the postoffice department and by a
member of the party in power, ought TO be ac-
cepted as conclusive evidence of the bad man
sagement under which our postal service has fall

there are more automobiles than buggies, which
used TO be the standby of rural folk. Consider
the reverse of the picture also must be viewed
A large number of buggy and horse drawn We
hicle factories have been driven TO the wall
Many of these factories were in towns depending
upon them for good bit of their prosperity in
the wages they distributed Ten on fifteen years
ago the buggy industry was scattered through
out the country in many scores of prosperous
towns Today big dent has been put in that
industry and what has taken its place-the auto
mobile industry-is largely concentrated in
few large cities The enormity of the automo-
bile industry is something wonderful TO behold
and with it the good oldfashioned buggy has
about the way of clipper ships and the wooden
sailing Elmer" of a bygone day.

A Summary of Profit Sharing

A writer in an eastern contempo-
rary gives an interesting summary of
what labor and capital received from
the United States Steel Corporation
for the year 1915. You may have
one guess as to who received the big
gest profits. It's a cinch that labor
did not. The writer says:
"The United States Steel Corpora
tion drew total earnings of $7266S3,-
$50 last year, $168.268,656 more than
the previous year, This was gain
of 30 per cent.
"Of these millions. labor, including
all the high-priced salaried employees,
received $176S00,864. Labor's gain
over the previous year was only LBS
per cent, although labor produced a
30 per cent increase in earnings.
"The average wage of all employees
was $30l day. The average wage,
excluding the administrative and sell
ing departments. was $2o2 These
figures do not show what the rank
and file of the 1o1.126 employees of
the steel trust received, except to in
dicate that they got less than $2.92
a day.
No Surplus to Labor

ARE UNITED BETTER
Allied Printing Trades Of Northwest Organize
at Walla Walla

Representatives from five interna-
tional unions, representing eight diff
ferent divisions of the printing trades,
met in conference at Walla Walla,
Tuesday of last week and perfected
temporary organization that presages
the amalgamation of the printing
trades into one effective union in the
not far distant future.
Prominent among the delegates
present at the conference was A. L.
Koehler of this city, who was made
sergeant-at-arms.
The conference was the outgrowth
of the organization of Northwestern
conferences of the typographical and
pressman's unions, which have done
such effective work in organizing and
maintaining conditions in the smaller
cities and towns in Washington, Ore
gon and in the province of British
Columbia 1t was decided at the con-
ference that in all future Labor Day
parades where Allied Printing Trades
councils exist all trades march under
the allied trades banner and thus do
away with individual identity. Where
there is no allied trades council the
banner of the larger organization will
be used. A proposition to interchange
working card was not adopted, but
it was practically agreed that in Of
fices where the major portion OF the
work was of one character there
would be no objection to the worker
regularly employed doing work OF

If this course is pursued a great in
gathering will be the result of our
efforts. Will you not help the good
work along in the hope of reaching
the desired goal for which we have
for so long a time been striving viz:
A most thorough organization of the
Journeyman BARRIERS and for the pro-
lection of their own interests? Think
it over, Brothers, and you will find
our purpose very essential for the
barber of today.
May we suggest the holding of sew
eral meetings during the campaign
up until June 20? Let each local
union put forth every effort to have
all non-union BARRIERS in attendance at
these meetings. Have said meetings

Keep Printing at Home

The following report taken from
an Eastern Washington paper will be
of interest to Boise readers:
Recommendations that officials Of
typographical unions OF the North
west draft bills during the coming
year for presentation 10 legislative
bodies, providing for keeping city,
county and state printing at home,
were contained in a resolution that
as unanimously adopted at a recent
session of the Joint Printing Trades
Conference. Il was pointed out that
in some localities county, city and
even state printing is sent to eastern
establishments, thus depriying the
home employer as well as the employe
Of the benefit that would accrue to
them were the work done at home,
and the recommendations we're ac-
corded the support Of the 50 delegates
present"
The recommendations are to be
commended. Home industries shoulS
be patronized-and everything shoulc
bear the union label.
