BETTER RESULTS
ON r A I L DIS
IF A SSISTED

Washington, Jan. 9.-American rail-
roads could have done better under
private operation with government
support than under federal control,
julius Kruttschnitt, chairman of the
Southern Pacific railroad, told the
senate interstate commerce committee
today. He promised. however. loyal
support of the railroads in the govern
ment project.
I'VE propose to do our level best to
make existing conditions successful"
said Kruttschnitt. II have exhorted
our officers to work as hard under the
new conditions as they did for the
stockholders and I haven't the slight
est doubt they will do it."
UNFAIR TO SMALL LINES.
A. c. Justin, Cleveland, president Of
the Fort Smith & Western railroad,
said the three-year basis of compen-
sation would mot work fairly for the
small railroads. He said his road
could not operate under the proposed
compensation plan.

WANTS UNCLE SAM
TO RUN STEAMBOATS,

st. Louis, Mo, Jan. 9.-Scarcity of
coal and labor will prevent the opera
ton of steamboats, on the western riv-
ers including the Mississippi next sea-
son unless the government takes over
the lines.
John Streckfus. president of the
Streclsfus steamboat line, operating be-
tween st. Louis and st. Paul, made this
statement to the United Press today.
Barge lines planned by the govern
ment will not be ready for operation
for year and a half, Streckfus de-
clares. In the meantime, he points
out, river boats must be used or there
will be no traffic on the river. All ca
pacities of 800 to 1000 tons are ready
for operation.
Streckfus told the United Press he
believed operation of the lines should
be handled by the director general OF
the railroads.

FAKE CRISIS BY
KAISER SHOWS
JUNKER CLUTCH
Manner of It's Execution
Reveals That the Prus-
slams Are Still Safely in
the Saddle.
BY LOWELL MELLETT.

London, Jan. s.-Germany has just
put over" another flake political cri-
SIS" according to best information
available here today.
The idea evidently was conceived by
the PAN Germans, and the fact that 1t
apparently was carried out and its
manufacture cleverly cloaked Is fur
Their evidence. together with the kali
ser's attitude, that the junkers are still
safely in the saddle in Germany.
The crisis" was in the widespread
report that Quartermaster General
Ludendorff and Field Marshal Hin
denburg would resign unless policies
favored by the German annexationists
prevailed at Brest- Litovsk.
TO HELP THE "SUPERMEN."
Both Ludendorff and Hindenburg
have been held up to public view as
demigods. guaranteeing the safety of
the people through their superhuman
cunning In war. The report they
might step down was evidently circu
lated with the idea of inducing the
people to agree to any steps whatever
which might retain these two super
men" on the job.
Best Information via Holland is that
neither Hindenburg nor his alter ego
ever seriously considered resigning.
Both are confident that their influence
is potent-despite the more liberal ten
denotes Of Foreign Minister Kuehl-
mann.
NO PEACE lEANINGS.
Most significant of all in support of
the conviction here that the militarists
and autocrats still reign supreme in
Germany Is the fact that SO far there
has not been a single word Of approval
In the German press for Premier Lloyd
Georges recent full statement Of peace
aims.
Nor Is there any Indication, in the
belief of those conversant with Ger
man conditions, that President Wilson's
aims will be any more acceptable.
1t was considered most likely, how
ever, that the Germans would seize
upon the American presidents state
ments as to freedom of the seas to dis
tort them into a paragraph of anti
British purposes.

High School Notes

The debate season is beginning in
earnest at the high school. There will
be two interscholastic debates accord
ing to the present schedule, the annual
Twin Falls-B Boise debate and the
Boise Nampa- Caldwell triangular de-
bate. The Twin Falls High school has
submitted three questions from which
one will be chosen for discussion. The
resolutions submitted by Twin Falls
are: First, Resolved, that after the
present war; the United States should
so far depart from her traditional pol
icies as to participate in the organiza-
ton Of league to enforce peace. (This
is the question of the Idaho High
School Debate league.) Second. Re
solved that the terms of settlement OF
the great war should include the pro-
gram of a league to enforce peace"
Third, Resolved. that the federal court
of the United States should be de-
prived of the right to declare acts of
congress unconstitutional"
AS both the Twin Falls and Boise
coaches prefer the first question, it
will undoubtedly be chosen. This Is
live issue Of the day and as an out
come of the war has been discussed
pro and con by every great thinker in
all the belligerent nations.
The freshmen and sophomore try
outs for interclass teams were held
Monday afternoon, but owing to a
misunderstanding only a few debaters
appeared. The teams for these two
classes will in all probability be chos-
en- by the faculty. The junior and
senior tryouts will be held Tuesday
afternoon. The judges for the tryouts
are Miss Davis. Miss Stevenson and
Mr.. Mitchell. The members OF inter-
scholastic teams will be chosen from
the showing made in the interclass
debates. The interclass debate Ques-
ton is, Resolved, that oriental labor
should be used to relieve the present
labor shortage" The speeches viii be
six minutes long.
The sewing classes at the high
school are making kits for the French
and Belgian families.
The student council at meeting
held Monday afternoon decided to sell
season basketball tickets at so cents
apiece. If 800 tick cts are sold four
games will be played; II 400 tickets
are disposed Of five games will b
scheduled. The first game will be
played Friday night with the Nampa
High school.

stumbling block, many feel. though
there is a general agreement that she
is entitled to independence. As now
framed. the proposal would take slice
off east Prussia, apparently.
NOW GERMANY KNOWS.
The speech let's Germany know what
she faces-tells 1t to her in a concilia-
tory way-and behind 1t Is this thought
and purpose:
Here are the terms. Conform
to them and take them II you will.
II you will not, then you will find
the allies and America ready for
further sacrifices in order that
the world may rest assured that

is a thing of the past"

the Pacific coast to the east than from
intermountain points to the east Is
that they are forced to meet uncon-
trolable water competition. II we may
reason from that premise, why was q
special commodity rate of $3.50 made
on less than carload shipments of hon.
ely from Portland to New York. II no
less than carload shipments moved.
There can be no competition II there
is nothing to compete with. II. in
deed. the $3.50 rate be but paper rate,
feel quite confident the honey pro-
ducers OF Idaho would welcome a sim
liar paper rate.
FAVORABLE POTATO RATE.
As Mr.. Hyatt refrained from men
tioning the exceedingly favorable po-
tato rates granted to Idaho, will COM
ment upon them. 1t is true that your
potato rates enables the Idaho farmer
to market his product in Oklahoma.
Texas, Arkansas and other southwest
ern states in competition with Colora-
do. Wisconsin and Minnesota, and by
the action of your railroad in making
such rates there has been built up In
southern Idaho An industry valued at
several million dollars annually to the
state.
This Is proof OF what Idaho can do
when artificial handicaps are removed.
As to the deciduous fruit and apple
rate. they may or may not be the best
rate that can be given, but l note the
rate from Portland to Alabama points
is 31.10 a hundred. The rate l find
from Idaho Is $l.16: to Chattanooga,
Tenn. from Portland. 31.04, from Ida
no. Sl,21; to Macon and Columbus. Ga.
from Portland. $110. From Idaho,
$1.16. The thought probably comes to
you that we never ship apples to the
southeastern states. You're right, but
somebody else does.
THANKFUL AGAIN.
We viii have to admit another allie
cation. We have especially favorable
distributing rates, but even they are
circumscribed within a radius of 300
miles, and the rates that were secured
we're granted only after the Boise traf-
fic bureau had presented their de-
mands upon your traffic director in
Chicago; but that Is a closed chapter.
The small merchants throughout boise
distributing territory and the wholesale
houses Of Boise still feel the exhiler-
ating effect of that adjustment of 1914,
and we trust you have found that the
less than carload shipments from Boise
have increased to a point where you
are fully compensated for the reduc-
lions. made.
REMEDY SUGGESTED.
There Is no community, however
rich in natural resources, that may I'M
fold itself where rate determinations
are practiced, and 1t seems the pres
ent commerce laws are inadequate to
cope with this situation, and the car
riers themselves have aided a confu-
sion Of rates rather than assisting in
making them fair to all communities
alike. Therefore. there can be only
one answer: MAKE 1T UNLAWFUL
TO CHARGE MORE FOR A nHoRT-
Err THAN FOR A LONGER HAUL
and community dissention will have
ceased and justice be given.

NOTHING GAINED BY 1T.

There are all sorts of reports going the
rounds about that Spanish influenza. These re-
ports must be accepted with some moderation.
Upon investigation we find they are much exag-
gerated. Fear of an epidemic accompanied with
exaggerated conditions can only increase the
spread. Let Us take every precaution anymore
than that is useless. Those who may become af-
fected should take it upon themselves not to
come in contact with anybody else. We are told
that the most effective way TO get rid of it is
to remain in bed. An easy thing 70 do when
you come to think about it.
