TO GUARANTEE
TO RAILROADS
$50 PER CENT
Administration Railroad
Bill Is Reported Favor
ably to Senate
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 7.-ChairmaT
Smith, of the senate interstate COM
merce committee, in reporting favor
ably to the senate today the admin
istration railroad bill, estimated that
under the measures provisions the
government will guarantee annually
to the railroads Of the country $945,-
10000 which will represent a return
Of $50 per cent This he says, ere
fleets neither poverty nor riches" but
the railroads will accept these terms
as q just and fair measure Of their
constitutional rights"
An agreement on the bill was
reached by the committee last Sat
urdsy but minority reports are to be
submitted by Senators Cummins and
la Toilette. Administration leaders
plan to call the bill up for consideTa-
ion next Monday.
Your committee Is Of the opinion
that this Is the time for war emer-
gency legislation and not the time to
settle the many controversial and
gexed questions concerning our flu
ture transportation policy" Chair
man Smith says in prefacing his re-
port. He then takes up the COM
pensatiOn section and adds:
About rs great operating railroads
do over 80 per cent of the railroad
business. The committee believes
that most OF these great railroad car
rieTs will accept these terms as a
just and fair measure Of their con-
stitutional rights. Section l further
provides that ordinary taxes, national
and state, shall, as now, be paid out
of operating revenue; but war taxes
Rccruing under the act Of Oct. 3, 1917,
are to be paid by the companies out
OF their own funds, or charged
against the standard return. In 9TH
err words. the holders Of railroad Sc
rurities are to bear their own Just
portion Of the war burden"
The committee recommends, the
report says. that improvements made
by the government while the carriers
are under government control. should

turned.
Discussing the provision inserted
by the committee providing for the
termination Of government control
is months after the peace proclama-
ton has been issued, the report says:
II u poSSlDie Inat certain COnut~
lions may arise from federal control
which will need adjustment before
the properties are returned to their
owners, and a reasonable period
should intervene I'm which these con-
ditions may be met and adjusted.
There is also n provision to the
erect that the President may prior
TO July ], next relinquish control of
such transportation systems as he
may deem not needfuI or desirable.
and may, thereafter on agreement.
relfnquish all or any part Of any sys-
tenn Of transportation"
The section also contains n gem
eral provision that the President
may relinquish all railroads at anv
time when he shall deem such action
needful or desirable.

Moorhead Man Wants Candy.

American candy would make a
great hit with the North Dakota
regiment in France, judging from
the several letters received within
the past two days from France.

tails some features of French camp
life.
Tell Kenneth I sure would like
to have some OF his candy, for
candy is next to impossible to get
here" writes Mr.. Peterson!
Certainly il is a pretty country
over here. We are among the hills,
and we delight in climbing hills, but
aside from that, we have quite a bit
of fun trying to make ourselves un-
derstOod by the French. We are
getting now so we can tell them
what we want, and all with the help
of a little book and our hands. 1t
surely is cOmical, but we get by
with it.
I'VE are in good barracks here,
and are comfortable. The only thing
don't especially care for is the
French tobacco, but we can get
some American smokes now and
then, so we manage TO get by.
Il don't know how long we will
stay here. We take a hike up into

GRADUATES IN
DEMAND

Men technically trained in agriculture
were never so much in demand as TODAY.
The mail of the Agricultural College
of the University contains calls for men
for many different lines of agricultural
work, such as farm managers, creamery
men, orchardists, instructors in high
schools, normal schools and colleges,
county agents, field specialists, etc. As
this is written the mail brings request
for a creamerman at SIPS per month, a
call from North Dakota for an agricul-
tural teacher in the school of science at
$500, and call for county agent recon-
mendations.
There was never SO fitting time for
the young man to enter upon college
course in Agriculture The University
of Idaho has only a few graduates to
offer where a very large number are
in demand.

Here it leaves them on our food and
some member of our household may be

the germs of typhoid fever, dysentery,
consumption and dyptheria and is no re-
spector of persons in distributing them.
The government is asking us, among
other things, to conserve health, for sick
ness is a waste of time and efforts of
nurses and doctors which are SO much
needed "over there" There is no better
way in which the women of Idaho can
respond to this call than by Kidding

all places in which flies breed. Privy

be destroyed by the use of fly traps
which are much more effective than
sticky fly paper and poison, for if plae-
ed out of doors, they catch the fly be-

Many types of fly traps can be pur-
chased but the University Extension rec
ommends the home made trap which is
inexpensive, easy to construct and has
proved very effective.
Home Made Fly Trap
This trap is made on the same general
plan as many of those which may be
purchased. The bait is placed in the
trap and the fly, after feeding, works up
ward through small opening in the
inner cone. The materials employed are
good non-rustable screen wire and either
heavy wire or wooden hoops and slips
for bracing and legs. The Farm Bureau
will send patterns for making such traps
to ones who ask for them.-Ada B.

support is the kind Of support the gov
ernment wants in war

support is the kind of support the gov
ernment wants in war.
How shall one account for the fact
that it is the policy of the government
to restrain attacks upon newspapers
which have been denounced by the
National Security League for their
wrong and shameful course in de-
Tending the atrocious acts of the Ger
man government, for un-Americanism
and for unpatriotism?
We do not pretend to account for it.
But we note that since the public's in
dignation. began to rise dangerously
against his newspapers Hearst has been
burning incense frantically at the feet
of the Administration, bestowing his
praise upon it, and insolently denounc-
ing those who criticise it's conduct of
the war. We have counted the items
casually, and we find that since "The
New York American" in moment of
self betrayal, deleted the prayer for
victory from the Presidents Memorial
Day Proclamation, that newspaper has
accepted an American war, has paid
homage to the Administration and has
observed the forms Of patriotism by the
following genuhections:
Ia editorial panegyrics on the Admins
tration, with violent dispraisc of it's
critics as obstructionists and disloy-
alsts.
5 editorial dissertations on patriotism
80 editorials and cartoons extolling the
work of the Red Cross.
colored displays of the flag, eagles,
Victory rainbows, etc.
3 special pages of patriotic news.
2 editorials abusing Mr.. Roosevelt
2 editorials praising Great Britain,
which had barred Hearst from it's
mail and cable privileges on account
of his pro- Germanisni
i editorial praising France. which also
had barred him and his newspapers
for their pro-Germanism.
2 editorials laudatory Of Secretary
Daniels.
2 attacks on the Kaiser
l portrait of Mrs. Tumulty and her
"six beautiful and interesting cnil-
dren," with a small cut of Mrs Daniels
appended.
All since May 12, with the people
making bonfires of his newspapers!
Is this the kind of support the gov
ernment wishes for the war?
Or is it the incense that works?

Sinking Homage

DR.. James A. B. Scherer. chief field
agent Of the State Councils Section of the
Council of National Defence, had been
speaking his mind about the disloyalism
of the Hearst newspapers. Agents of
Hearst complained Of this to the War
Department, whereupon the Secretary
Of War, as chairman of the Council of
National Defence, issued memorandum
to the effect that speakers under the
jurisdiction Of that official body must
not indulge in discriminatory remarks
as to the relative value Of newspapers
DIR. Scherer promptly resigned, and
addressed to Mr.. Baker letter full of
burning comment. We reproduce here
only that part of it which touches Il
vital matter, namely, the probability
that Hearst, though now protesting his
loyalty in blatant manner will become
dangerous again at the most difficult
time of the war-at the very end-when
the terms Of peace are under discussion.
Dr. Scherer acutely says:
Some time Germany is going to make
plausible peace proposal. This will. of
course. be a cnmoufaged war move. She
may offer to yield Belgium and even to
pay some indemnity; indeed, she will
yield anything except the Pam -Germanic
empire which she now holds, extending
from the North Sea to Bagdad. Her mol
icy will be elastic in the West and ada
mant In the East. When this hour comes
every pacifst, every England -hater, every
secret or open pro-German, every half
baked Socialist, every weakened sister
in trousers or petticoats will clamor for
the acceptance of the German proposal:
or, at least, for council of the nat,ons
at which Germany can get the powers
about the table and juggle the cards. At
the same time the twelve or fourteen
great dailies owned and controlled by
William Randolph Hears. will let out a
strident blast for stopping bloodshed--
in other words. peace made in Ger
many"
DR.. Scherer is man of moral and
professional eminence. He is president
Of the Throop College of Technology,
at Pasadena, Cal. The Secretary of War
is declared by him to be protecting man
whose disloyalty is so notorious that
people all over the country are making
bonfires of his newspapers.
Evidently DR.. Scherer Is perplexed by
this singular contradiction. He was ctfi-
cially informed that the memorandum
OF the Secretary of War expressed the
policy Of the Administration. We Won
der If it does. Everybody will wonder
IT, Hearst loyalty is the kind of loyalty
the Administration valVes---if Hearst's
