ENTITLED TO A FAIR TRIAL

Otu1LS 10 W ~ SUHSN ~
the new zone system of collecting fares on the trolley cars Of
the Public Service Railway Company. No matter what objec-
lions one may have to the new order there is no excuse for
lawlessness.
In the first place, it must be remembered that the zone
system was not put into effect by the Public Service until it
had met with the full approval of the Public Utility Commits
sion which represents the authority Of the state. This COM
mission having authorized the experiment that is now being
tried out it is I'D to the people to acquiesce until the plan has
been given a fair trial.
Everyone admits that the fundamental principle upon
which the zone system is based is sound. 1t means that the
rider in a trolley car pays for what he gets. If he rides only a
short distance he pays a small fare; if his ride is a long one he
pavs more in proportion. That sounds reasonable, The diff
Guilty comes in the poor service rendered and the length OF the
zones. But these things may be remedied if the opportunity
is afforded.
Three cents Is an insignificant amount and almost any
person would pay it rather than walk a few blocks if the cars
ran frequently enough and were the people sure of not being
held up on sidings when the cars do run. Because of the single
track trolley and the lack of belt lines connecting the different
parts of the city, the trolley cars in this section are used main
Iy by those who are going a considerable distance.
1t is the person going to Keasbey, Fords or Woodbridge
that is hit the hardest and here is where the zone measurements
come in. The public have been led to believe thai, the new
system was based on a three cent fare for the first mile trav-
eled and two cents for each additional mile. When measure
ments are taken and it is found that some Of the zones are a
thousand feet or more short of a mile the public at once insists
that they are being cheated and they naturally resent having
ANYTHING 'put over on them. The idea of an increased fare
for the long ride is enough in itself to cause opposition; to add
to this what corresponds to short weight at a store, it is hard
TO suppress ones feelings in-the matter. -
If, after a reasonable trial, ii is found that the anew plan
does not work out, we may rest assured that it will be changed
The American people have a way or remedying such things
without resorting to riot and mob rule. five are to do our
part toward having conditions restored to normal we must be
patient and exercise an unusual amount of self-restraint, prov
ing to the world that a great self governing people are able to
successfully meet the greatest crisis that civilization has ever
experienced. @s =

POTATO CHIP PLANT
At MERIDIAN CLOSED
Factory Which Had Govern
ment War Contract suspends
to Await Handling Of Other
Vegetables and Fruit.

The Idaho Products company has
temporarily closed down it's potato
chip factory at Meridian, which has
been operating continuously since early
last November, and which has had on
Its pay roll from 80 to 100 employees
and pay roll of more than $4,000
weekly.
The cancellation of government con-
tracts with all notwithstanding plants
In the United States and Canada
caused the company to close the fac
tory. although it's contract for 100000
pounds of potato chips was nearly
completed. An inventory of all un-
usued material is now being taken by
direction Of the government.
The Idaho Products company was
the only company in Idaho awarded a
contract to turn out finished produce
for shipment to the war zone, and by
virtue of the contract the entire Boise
valley was enriched and especially the
section adjoining the prosperous town
of Meridian. The company paid out
over $4,000 for potatoes to farmers of
the valley, the top market price being
paid in every instance.
The dehydrongenizing plant entailed
an investment of $4,000, and is said
to be one of the finest in the west, and
while closed down for the present, the
company anticipates it's reopening dur
ing the summer for handling vege-
tables and fruits.
The company fully expects to be
handling contracts for foreign coun-
tries before long, as negotiations for
such contracts are already under way
and should be received here within a
few months. The government official
who was kept in the plant during its
entire period of operation on the potato
chips for the government, congratulated
the company on the high quality of
it's product, which was maintained
through daily tests of the products by
the state chemist and the having of a
plant modern in every particular.

MISREPRESENTATION
Despite Mr.. Edison's warm
ing crafty dealers continue to
represent that so-called COM
bination machines will play
Edison e-creations.

Again we are called upon to call at
tention to the warning issued by Mr..
Edison over his own signature, eau
tioning the public against playing his
re-creations, commonly called records,
on any but an instrument with a me-
chanical feed and none of the so-called
combination machines has a mechani-
cal feed and cannot play the Edison
records without injuring the records.
Mr.. Edison, the inventor of the phon-
ograph, certainly knows what he Is
talking about when he issues the warn
ing and prints same on every envelope
containing a New Edison record.
Any dealer who advertises or repre-
sents that his so-called combination
machine will play Edison records with
out injuring the records is misrepre-
senting. All the so-called combination
machines now before the public, and
there ar over a hundred, will play the
Edison records, but none without in
juring the records because all lack the
mechanical feed.
The only way to get the glorious Edi-
son tone is to buy genuine Edison
and Edison records.
The New Edison costs no more than
the so-called combination machines.

SOMETHING OF A POSER.

I think, too that he is something of
poser. This was particularly evident
when he sought to create the impress
sion that he was much wronged man.
had the feeling that he WAS acting
the part. He cited much "evidence" to
prove that he was humane and sympa-
thetic-how he had sat at a table in
the open air in France to listen to and
to redress the wrongs of the French
people in the occupied territory. how
he had worked for the mitigation of
the sufferings of prisoners of war, how
he had been snubbed by the general
staff when he had demonstrated against
their policy of frightfulness. And so
on and so on.
On the subject Of the armistlce terms
the ex-Grown Prince threatened to be-
come expansive, but when he began to
allude to the German people as "a ma
ton Of idealists" and to urge what he
called a peace of justice" / invited
him to descend from the cloud Of rhet-
oric to the common earth of Fact.
Kindly tell me concretely, what you
mean when you use the phrase peace
of justice? 1 pressed him.
IT cannot tell you for publication
what my private views on peace terms
are, but, speaking as a gentleman to a
gentleman, 1 will tell you," responded
the exCrown Prince.
Thereupon he began to make a con-
fidential statement, which 1 politely
limited did not want. And so we pass
ed on to other subjects.
After about two hours conversation
left and went into the village to Sc
cure my conveyance. While waiting
there the ex-Crown Prince came along
and crossed the road to speak to me.
He had put on a cloth cap and a
greatcoat which had evidently been
badly soiled during the campaign in
the field. Indeed, he looked at my coat
longingly, and TESTED about its smart
ness-as compared with his.
The last I saw of him was, as with
an "au revoir" he continued his walk
alone-a solitary and somewhat forlorn
figure, splashing through the mud of
the country road.
