SOME of the neutral countries bor-
dering on Germany are rushing COM
missions to this country in the hope
of convincing the government that
they are almost on the verge of star
walton and if the United States shaves
down it's exports to them they will
face hard winter indeed. 1t is un-
fortunate that the rigors of war
should injure neutrals, but so long as
the war continues, neutrals will SUI
fer. The fact is, however, that four
nations-Norway, Sweden, Denamrk
and Holland-have been rationing
the German army for more than two
years. They have sold their own pro-
ducts to Germany and lived off the
fat of Uncle Sans land. The time
has come to stop this practice and
our government would be recreant
in its first duty if it failed to do so.

BIG TROOP SHIP

AN ATLANTIC PORT, Aug. TO-
The American transport Saratoga, al

rammed by the inbound American
steamship Panama here today. The
ship headed toward the beach in a
sinking condition and later was run
on the beach.
Meanwhile those on board were
safely taken off in life boats or by
tugs and other craft in the harbor
which responded to distress signals.
So far as is known no one was in

A deep hole in the transports port
quarter extending from below the

the collision. The captain of the Pa
mama held the bow of his ship tight
against he-tFaHspnrt.- effectively

SUGAR PRICES JUMP

in price twice in the last twenty-four
hours. Yesterday 1t went up rs cents

day. Had England made its purchases
in Java instead of Cuba, as was first
proposed the American market would

FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1917
UNITED OR DIVIDED

At this particular time, when the
strike agitation is at its zenith and
when the spirit of unrest appears to
pervade the country, it is not unpro-
fitable to remind ourselves that we
have merely taken the first step in
the war, and that the sacrifices that
we shall be called upon to make i'm
pei the necessity of unity, harmony
and cooperation. We must win the
war, not as divided people, but as
nation firmly united.
These considerations are emphas.
lied from the financial angle by the
report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury that the first year of the war will
cost America $10,735,S07,000, ex-
elusive of great loans to our allies,
making necessary the raising of more
than 6.50O,OO0,OOO in additional
revenue. 1t is expected that the war
tax bill, as it has been drawn, will
bring in $1,5OO,O0O,000, leaving a
discrepancy Of $5.0O0,0O0,O0o, which
must be met by increasing tax levies
or another bond issue.
Each succeeding estimate of the
cost of war Is higher than the pre-
ceeding one. Staggering as the Ameri-
can budget is, the probability is that
actual cost for the fiscal year will be
even greater than the secretary's es-
innate, for the estimates are based
en- what is foreseen, not on what can
not be anticipated. The history of the
war in England-which has financed
a larger share of the struggle than
any other nation-shows that the
cost of the war in that country has
practically doubled in the past three
years, and probably the expense in all
the other countries has increased in
about equa ratio.
1t is evident that even the United
States must bear a share of the bur-
den commensurate with it's tremen-
dous wealth. Our wealth, great as 1t
is not inexhaustable. Taxes and
bond issues will pile higher as the
war continues, and in spite of the
prosperity, which is compensating
factor. every person will feel the eff
feet of this drain upon the country's
financial resources.
1t behooves us to suspend some of
our grievances and to make common
cause in the struggle. Construction
and production are needed to win the
war, not disorganization and tur-
mOil.

Ideal Cast Of Aida" to Sing
the Opera Here Saturday Night

The famous Boston National Grand
Opera company, numbering so princi-
pal artists, chorus of 60 voices and
symphony orchestra OF SO, will be in
Boise on Saturday, March II, adding
its distinguished presence to the cele-
bration of the city's Fashion Show"
The introduction of the Boston Ma
tional Grand Opera company to Boise
last year was sufficient to establish
this organization in good favor here
and insure Its welcome on future Wis
its. This is evidenced in the enthu-
siasm with which subscribers and pat
rons in general have responded to the
announcement of their return, although
this was but recently made.

masterpiece Aida" as the evening Of

not been given here in many seasons

of the Boston National, and this fact

move for a reconsideration, which is
generally recognized in American par
liamentary procedure and is specific
ally recognized in senate rule 16 of the

tanning to the senate sufficient right

"A strong consideration, to my mind

the senate, acting as deliberate legis-
lative body, registered its intention to
vote for and pass the bill. The honest
intention of the body, as shown by the
record, would be of great weight In
determining a close question of this
character. The fact that no one was
deceived or misled in any way in the
proceedings with reference to this bill
is. in my mind, another important con
sideration.
II cannot believe, therefore. that our
supreme court. in view of it's liberal at

that this irregularity is fatal in the

bayonet. The excitement of the dream
was sufficient to cause Ferguson to
raise himself in his bed and shout
aloud. He knew then that he had re :
