Official notification to the effect that
the four weeks camp for members of
the R. O. T. c.. will be held at the
Presidio, San Francisco, in June, has
been received by Lieutenant Luther
Felker, university commandant. A
representation of sixteen men has been
allowed Idaho, but this number may
be increased in view of the large num-
Der of local soldiers" who want to at
tend.
Disappointment was rampant at the
announcement that only sixteen men
could go from here. A large number
of S%ophomores had signed UP for the
advanced R. o. T. G. for next year
largely on account of the opportunity
to take the month of training this
summer. In addition, there were
twenty or twenty-five f~rst-year men
who wanted to get their feet in on the
deal. Notification of the number of
candidates allotted to Idaho will prob
ably be received by the first of next
week.
The camp is scheduled to begin June
Sd. This will mean that the local dele
cation will have to leave Spokane on
May 31st, missing commencement
week. A number of the men will leave
for a short visit at their homes about
the goth.
Only Three
Only three OF these r. o. T. Camps
are scheduled for this summer: one at
Plattsburg, N. "; one at Fort Sheri-
dan, Illinois, and the third at the
Presidio, San Francisco.
Idaho men attending the camp will
lave to provide themselves with the
following equipment in addition to the
R. O. T. c. uniform:
/ service hat.
1 hat cord.
2 pairs olive drab cotton breaches.
2 flannel olive drab shirts.

investment. This fact was brought
out ct the special session Of the coun-
Gil held Tuesday night for the pur-
pose Of making the city estimate for
the coming year. During the past
year the two departments have
shown 5000 : month increase IN
operating expenses and the city
operating expenses ran about SO, coo
short. This, Of course. takes into
consideration the vast amount Of
necessary equipment and improve
ment installed during the past year;
the immediate need Of which was
placed before the administration be-
fore it had been week in Office.
The pumping capacity was woefully
short, the water supply was in criti-
cal condition and the equipment at
the power plant was inadequate. All
Of these shortcomings in city affairs
have been or soon will be corrected.
All Of the machinery has been bought
and most Of it installed. The septic
tank is under construction and this
nuisance will soon be abated. There
is plenty Of water and a large stor-
age capacity.
But all Of these things have cost
money. Coal and all materials used
in the pumping Of water and the de-
livery of electric current have adj
vaneed by leaps and bounds. There
have been some necessary salary in
creases. All down the list Of costs
of operation there have been adyan-
ces until the city can no longer de-
liver water and lights at the old
rates.
The proposed increases in rates
would raise the minimum charge of
lights from the present minimum Of
$1.60 to $500 per month, with an in
crease of 10 per cent on each bill.
The water rate would be correspond
ingly increased from minimum Of
$1.50 per month to $500, with an
increase Of 10 per cent on the total
bill. While this amount would be
very slight for each individual user
it would be sufficient to place the
|city's finances from this department
on the proper side Of the ledger. Tie
shortage could be paid in taxes, but
that would place the burden on the
heavy tax payers and the renter.
would get the benefit without bear
ing their proportionate share. Rails
ing the rate gives an equitable dis
tribution of the increased cost o.
production.
The final decision Of the rate in
crease will be taken at the next regu
lar meeting, July 9, when the council
will make the city levy for the com.
ing fiscal year. Those who are in
terested are invited to attend tn,
meeting, and express their views o:
the plan.-Alliance (Neb.) Times.

PASS UP GUARDS
War Department Hears End of
Organization Is Near.
Washington Feels That New
Method Is Necessary.

Washington. Dec. 26.-That the gen.
eral staff recommendations for the
country's future military prepared
ness will not include use of the ma
tional guard is the belief in some war
department groups today.
Practical killing of the national
guard thru the decision of Acting
Judge Advocate General Ansell will
necessitate substitution of another
method of reorganization of the guard
in practically all states.
1t is too early to predict what the
country's attitude will be toward the
guard. However, 1t is felt here that
POLITICAL. considerations and COM
munity pride will rise in an effort to
revive the guard in many places.
However. general staff men, by rea-
son of their training, are naturally
favorable to a regular army organiza-
ton or to system to which cenr-alizes
IL the war department rather than in
the states. This spirit is believed
likely to cause the staff TO recommend
some form of universal military train
ing--minua this guard-proyided 1t
had an opportunity later to present its
view to congress.
There is doubt here that the country
is inclined to favor the universal sys-
tenn, and much will depend upon the
outcome of efforts in the Paris peace
conference at obtaining a world league
of nations and a decrease of arma-
u.erC and militarism
