"Why not use the schools of the

thering the work of feeding themselves
and others by helping the government
feed the soldiers? They are closing

Reports coming to the commission

IDAHO
PROSPERS UNDER
SMILING SKIES
DIRECTOR JONES FINDS GOOD
CROPS WITH ABSENCE OF
PESTS

j. S. Jones, director of the agricul-
tural experiment station at the Uni
versity of Idaho, is highly pleased with
the conditions he found at the sub
stations in south Idaho and among the
special field workers. He reached
home Thursday evening after pretty
thorough survey of the southern field.
"The Caldwell station is doing good
work with It's dairy herd" Mr.. Jones
said. 'They have a big crop of hay
there, too, and the small grain prom
ises WE'LL They have added 80 acres
this year and are specializing on grain
forage crops and dairy.
cat Jerome the station is given over
to the potato and potato diseases, and
there they are using the cultural meth
DDS almost wholly this year. This
station is in fine condition as it has
been from the start.
Aberdeen station is experimenting
altogether along the lines of dry farm
ing and irrigation in the higher al
titudes. Aside from the winter grain
which was killed, all the crops here
look fine. The irrigated grain was
exceptionally good"
Speaking of southern Idaho as
whole Mr.. Jones said:
~ never saw it look better. All
crops are in good condition; a fine
hay crop has been harvested and the
grain looks well. There is little
trouble from insect pests and diseases,
less than | have ever seen. Prof. A.
c. Burrill who made a tour of the
south in search of the clover aphis re-
ports that he found not one. Wire
worms and cut worms are doing some
but that is the only drawback.
County agents and special workers
are making fine records. They are
strong farm bureaus and
have their work in fine shape. This
is especially true of Canyon, Twin
Falls, Bingham, Power and Bonneville
counties.

ATHENS-Greece is moving rapidly
in her action against Germany. All
Greek diplomatic representatives have
been formally recalled from the central
powers. Greek army chiefs have been
summoned to Athens for conference
on declaration of war against Ger

Germany will respond with declara-

will probably throw an army contain

CRIMINAL
SABOT AGE
MahOw May be the Gem
ter of Test Case of Dras-
State Law
WHAT SYNDICALISM MEANS
Federal, State and County Authorities
Combine to Protect Society
Against /. w. w. Menace

It seems likely that the Idaho law
against criminal syndicalism will be
tested in the case of G. S. Mahow, ar
rested at BovilI in connection with the
l. w. w. troubles there. The matter
is now under consideration by the fed
eral, state and county authorities.
Criminal syndicalism is defined by
the statute enacted by the Idaho leg
lslature qast winter and approved
March IA, 1917, as the doctrine that
advocates crime, sabotage, violence or
unlawful methods of terrorizing as a
means Of accomplishing industrial or
political reforms.
Stiff Penalty Provided
The law recites the various ways in
which person may be guilty of this
crime and fixes the penalty at not
more than 10 years in the penitentiary
or fine of $500O The statute is
sweeping in its provisions.
Mahow is still In the county jail and
will be held pending investigations in
to his case. He was in communlca-
ton today with the I. w. W. head
quarters in Spokane today and his
lawyer is expected on any train. 1t
is hfnted that Mahow is held on ad-.
vices from the United States district
attorney
Henderson Is Held
Complaint was sworn to today
against Charles Henderson by Sheriff
Campbell charging him with vagrancy.
A warrant for his arrest was issued
bv Probate Judge Nelson and he is
held in the county jail pending his
preliminary hearing.
Sheriff Campbell and his posse re-
turned late Friday night from a trip
to Deary and Bovill where they went
in the hope of apprehending the men
who had forced Fred Hammond to stop
hauling fire wood to Deary. The men
were gone when the officers arrived.
They had boarded a Milwaukee train
and had skipped. The sheriff and his
party attended an /. w. w. meeting
at Boviu but made no arrests. They
assert that the meeting was compos-
ed Of four-fifth aliens. a number OF
them from Elk River.

PORTLAND-Nort prune pros
poets are far below expectations and.
with the market growing strong
er in tone, the 1917 crop will probably
be far under the 1916 yield. Prune
buyers are in the field and a few
contracts are being signed up at 8
cents a pound. Meat growers. how
ever, are now anxious to contract
their output and want 9 cents pound
orchard run, which is higher than the
buyers are willing to pay now.

Six thousand pages of testimony and
hundreds of exhibits were piled up
during the hearings.
Speeches on both sides bordered on
personal recrimination. The shippers
charged the railroads with exaggefat-
ing increased costs and neglecting to
consider increased gross revenues.
The shippers declared they were
loatb to pay increased dividends on
~watered stock The railroads re-
piled with promise that the added
revenues from the IS per ceat in
crease would be devoted solely to
meeting higher costs or would be put
back in Improvements so that the
railroads would be more efficient in
war service.

RAILROAD
PETITION
IS DENIED
Must Not Increase Their
Freight Rates Fifteen
Per Cent
END OF LONG STRUGGLE
Roads Insisted That Higher Wages
Under AdamsOn Law and Higher
Prices Made Increase Necessary

WASHINGTON - Railroads of the
United States have been denied the
right to increase freight rates is per
cent. The interstate commerce COM
mission denied the petition of the
roads in decision handed down Fri
day evening. This ends prolonged
struggle.
Immediately after the supreme
court held the Adamson eight-hour
railroad labor law constitutional last
March, American railroads announced
they would need an advance Of Is per
cent on freight rates to meet the in
crease in employees wages.
Shippers and farmers organizations
thereupon launched the biggest fight
in the interstate commerce commits
sion's history.
The requested increase was the larg-
est ever asked by the railroads at one
time in the commissions existence
Reasons for Increase
The railroads cited the war and the
increased cost of raw materials as
additional reasons for the advance III
rates.
Hearings on ex parte 81, as the case
is docketed, began May Z in Wash
ington.
For four days the carriers present
ed evidence in support of their request
Then rest was taken until May %
to permit the shippers to prepare tes-
timony and rebuttal for presentation
and to plan cross-examination of the
railroad representatives.

Overworking Secrecy

Why blind the American people when
the Germans see?
month or more ago, Uncle sam
landed some thousands Of MS troops in
France, where they are nov undergo
ing training.
All Of France knows they landed and
where they now are, but this inforna-
ton has been kept from the American
public
Is there the slightest doubt but the
Germans know exactly where these
troops are?
Our cablegrams are still coming under
address Of Training Camp in France "
What sense is there in il. when no.
body's fooled save Americans?
Il IS surely good policy for the Wash
ington administration 70 let our people
have all the information il can.
Keeping Americans especially gnorant

Good Morning; Have
You Been Beaten Up
By a Conductor \ ct?

1t is the exception rather than the rule
now for day TO pass in which few
street car conductors or motormen, or
both, are not accused of having brutally
assaulted passengers.
Several cases against members Of street
car crews who used controllers. door
levers or some other deadly weapon on
passengers are now pending in the po-
lice court
Travel in Detroit has become unsafe
for the passenger.
If he escapes an accident he Is bysno
means out of danger until ne has success
fully passed the conductor on his way
out.
Even once on the street it behooves
him to glance back over his shoulder lest
a savage conductor pursue him with a
crow-bar.
Even when no physical violence is used,
travel has become irksome because Of the
belligerent attitude Of many conductors
They usually hold a wordy war with
one or more passengers, much TO the an
noyance and disgust of peace loving per.
sons.
While it is not to be expected that the
railway company can invariably selec'
Lord Chesterhelds and Ward McAllisterl
for duty on the cars, it could at leas
insist that car crews desist from quar-
reling with passengers. unless absolutely
in self-defense as is done in othel
cities.
In most cities a conductor or motor
man is fired on the spot if he engages il
fight with a passenger on the grounc
that il takes two to make quarrel am
that the employee could keep out o.
fights if he tried very hard.
Scarcity of labor in Detroit has prob
ably made it necessary for the railwa!
company 10 hire some undesirables q
run its ears, but the company should re
strain these
1t is only fair to the public and Z

cent motormen and conductors
