COAL SEIZURE

Back in New York they are trying
to make it lawful to grab food by the
communicable and pass it around in
bunch of men have been trying to
organize themselves into viligante
committee for the purpose of nab
bling car of coal. The other day
several men were arrested and fined
for nabbing some coal in Blackfoot,
and they didn't get the coal.
But coal is not so indispensable as
food. Wood is substitute for coal,
and it grows plenteously all over the
earth. 1t grows out in the lavas, but
the hardihood of men is not equal to
the task of going after it now as in
the good old pioneering days. How
ever, there is farmer of the right
sort living ten miles north of
Blackfoot. His name Is John Trolin.
Hearing that families were destitute
of fuel and actually suffering in
town he HE'D him out to lavas for
a big load of cedar wood. He brot
in the load delivered it to a family
recommended to- him by Jim Martin
do uCOuAA6 ~ UoNAy' nSA1 AAS ~SSA~~>
to the Idaho Republican office to
inquire about other needy spots, per-
fectly willing to keep on hauling
while he could be doing good for his
fellow men. There are thin souled
folks who would deny that such a
good samaritan yet lives on the earth.
When the men of vigilante inclina-
lions were asked why they did not
trail off to the lavas and lay in a
supply of free fuel, they said it was
| too much trouble, or words to that
effect. In other words, so used we
are to convenience, that we believe
the world owes US coal. Yet there
are few such sturdy self-dependent
free-holders as John Trolin, not only
able to provide for themselves and
families, but willing to lend out a
helping hand to hating neighbor
Were this a sermon we would say
Thank God for such men," AS il
is we say Amen.

His life was long and filled with the
stirring experiences that are the

giles between the u. S. soldiers and

title of Buffalo Bill" when during
the building of the Union PACING
railroad west he attached himself to
the United States troops protecting
the laborers, and filled a contract TO
supply the entire force with tresn
buffalo meat. he killed 4,2SO buff
falOes.
Buffalo Bill will always be known
as the greatest hunter and lndlan
fighter of the west. He was born In
Iowa. Feb. rs, 1916, and his parents

Kansas, when that was a frontier
most At 10 years of age he was

THANK THE
OLD BOARD

When ever the state has tried to
amend the constitution so that one
county commissioner shall be elected
every two years and keep two mem
bers held over each time, the amend
ments have failed.
All of the members of board are
elected at once and the new board
takes up the work. unacquainted with
the details and it's a great disad-
vantage and the public interest is
in jeopardy. In Bingham county the
retiring board, for this session, spent
a couple of days with the new board
making them acquainted with the de.
tails of the work and the unfinished
claims and business. This is a sub
stantial saving and great protection
to the public, and the retiring board
are entitled to the gratitude of the
public for affording this protection
They are all busy men and they left
their work to look after the public
welfare, purely for the good it would
do. This shows the right spirit and
is proof of the sincerity Of thiel
efforts to serve the public. 1t is more
pronounced in the case of the two
Commissioners who were candidates
for reelection and were defeated
The public said by their vote thai
they wanted somebody else to man
age the public business, and any but
a broad minded citizen and goot
sport might have felt some resent
ment, and said LET the other fellow
do it," For the first two days of tht
present session Bingham county hal
six commissioners, and the best O
feeling prevailed among them in theil
work.
We believe we reflect the senti
ment of the whole county when WI
say the gratitude of the public rest
with the retiring board, and the loya
support of all is due to the success
sors in office. An official who retire
with the goodwill of the public l
honored in the true sense of publ
service. The members of the new
board were asked to serve, and tina
was vote of confidence. II the
fill the measure of responsibility, tina
will be an honor indeed.

CONGRESSIONAL NOTES

The Adamson Act is increasingly
unpopular. The committee appoint
ed by it's provision to look into the
railroad situation is not to continue
as a committee after January 8, and
a resolution to keep the committee
in harness for one year has failed to
pass the House. ...
The Senate commerce committee
is hearing argument and evidence
in connection with the problem Of
railroad legislation. James A. Emery
manufacturers organi-
cations argued before this commit
tee that the proposed arbitration bill
would not infringe on the rights of an
individual to quit his work, and that
it was directed mainly against COM
binations that would interfere with
interstate commerce. Ralph M.
Easley, of the National Civic FEEDER
alton opposed the arbitration bill on
the grounds that a similar experiment
in Canada, the disputes act was a
failure and that neither the railroads
nor the brotherhoods are in favor
of the bill.

EMBARRASSING PUBLICITY

What good purpose can be served
by such debate as has been raging
in the Senate over Mr. Wilson's peace
note to the belliserent powers? The
sentiments expressed disclose serious
divisions of opinion in the govern
ment, and promote the impression
abroad that the President would not
be supported by the American people
IL a crucial moment came. No more
damaging, or fundamentally erron-
eous, impression could be dissem-
mated. Americans have the habit of
sustaining their government in
foreign affairs, however violently
they may disagree with 1t.
The subject was opened for the
Senate debate by an administration
source which proposed an endorse
ment of the Presidents note. The
debate begun, there can be no criti-
cism of those senators who express
sed their sentiments in disapproval
of the terms of the note, and de-
clined to vote for the endorsement
resolution because it committed the
United States to policy whose ram
none can forsee but many
distrust. If the President is not con-
tent, he must visit his censure upon
his imprudent followers who would
not let we'll enough alone. 1t it not
incubent upol senator of the Uni
ted States that he shall agree with
the President even in the delicate
matter of foreign relations. The
fathers of the republic so clearly fore
saw the necessity of check upon
the executive in transactions with
other governments that the constitu-
ton makes the Senate and the Presi-
dent joint custodians of foreign
policy. When Mr.. Wilson has reason
to fear senatorial disapproval. he
would be wise either to forego action
or issue no invitation for discussion
of it.

Stocks are not admitted if they are tied
up by promoters agreements or if they
are not widely distributed. The exchanges
in Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, and
other cities are even more restricted, and
besides are local in character. Public
auction sales of stocks are held weekly
in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia;
but they are places for executors of estates
and brokers rather than for individual in
vestors.
Most generous and open of all is the
curb market in New York City; but even
this is limited to very few thousand
different stocks.
Most Stocks Sold "Over the
Counter"
THE vast majority of all stocks find
their only market privately "over the
counter" of brokers' offices. This really
means over the telephone. There are
several brokers engaged in this class of
business in every large city, and perhaps
nunureQ OF more Ill NEW OTh. HcSo
transactions, vast in the aggregate, are
publicly reported or recorded in only the
most partial and haphazard fashion. Here,
of course, is the essential and overwhelm-
ing advantage of listed Stock Exchange
security.
But while in countless instances "over
the counter" dealers fix their own prices,
which are often so far apart as to discon-
cert the investor, yet if the demand for
the particular stock becomes great enough,
if the company becomes very well known
and there is an ample supply Of the stock,
the "over the counter" or "outside" deal
ers will make just as fair and close prices
as brokers on the Stock Exchange. In
other words, the market for stock nearly
always depends on the stock itself.
Aside from the publicity of its open
price-making and the strict rules of busi-
ness honor that the Stock Exchange i'm
poses upon its members, there is not neces-
sarily better market on the Stock Ex-
change than off, other things being equal

Fire insurance stocks are not listed
chiefly because the capital is usually
very small one. There is one company
with a capital of $l0,OO0,O0 the Conti-
mental Insurance Company, and $4,000
of it's $25 shares were dealt in on the
Stock Exchange last year. But it is the
only listed fire insurance company. An
other reason-and this applies to banks
Gkewise-is that the stock is closely held
by few people who are directly in the
business, or by. their friends, and so
there is little chance for outsiders to
speculate.
Dividends are quite steady on bank
ing and insurance company shares-ex-
cept, of course, in the case OF. fire insurance
companies when there is a wholesale dis
aster like the San Francisco earthquake;
and because they are closely held by the
insiders there is little opportunity for the
outsiders to profit, even when dividends
are raised or lowered.
