PLAYS ARE tIFELIKE
ON ELECTRIC BOARD
AT LIBERTY GARDENS

Two or three hundred local fans
watched the opening games of the
world series today through the me-
dunn of the electric store board at the
Liberty gardens under the manage
ment of Nick Collins of the Boise Ath-
letic club. The operators were as ner-
vous at first as the youngest Red on
the bench at his first champ contest,
and hunted all over the board for the
right lights. But after the first inning
they had it working pretty well. The
gardens will be crowded for the fol-
lowing games of the series, no doubt.
So lifelike We're the plays as they
came over the wire and were regis
tered by the red, green and white
lights that the crowd was cheering and
razzing in appropriate bleacher style.
When Cicotte walked Ruether in the
third the cry of Take him out" went
up and when the Cincy pitcher drove
in the runs in the next frame that
gave his club wide lead, it was evil
dent fro the nmoise that there were
more Red fans ingtown than the pre-
series betting had indicated.

COMPARISON GIVEN.
Some illuminating fiugres have re-
GENTLY been released by the collector of
internal revenue which give the taxes
paid by all of the corpora lions of the
country for the year 1917. The 1918
figures not yet being available. The
1917 figures for all corporations are
given by groups and which are as fol-
lows:
Mineral and metal industries, $780,
100000 35.1 per cent.
Business and finance, s444, 900, 600,
20.4 per cent.
Agricultural products, s345,O0O 900.
1871 per cent.
Chemical industries, $123, 100000, 81
per cent.
Transportation, $4,000 600, As per
rent
Public utilities, s4S,oOO,oOO, % per
cent.
All other corporations, $685. 900,
1874 per cent.
And these fiugres show the domi-
nant position in our industrial affairs
occupied by the mineral and metal in
dustries, which contributed 35.1 per
cent of the taxes paid by all corpora
lions for the year 1917.

With the arrival of eastern railroad
officials in the city Tuesday and from

came apparent that railroads of the

sion of the 25 per cent rate increase
on fruit, for which fruitgrowers of

amlner Ulysses Butler of the inter

ing now under way in the courthouse
The fruit men and the public utili-
ties commission, which instituted the
case in behalf of the fruit men, fin
lshed most of their testimony Tues
day. They contended the % per cent
increase would ruin the fruit indus
try by taking all the profit out of it.
POINT TO HIGH COSTS.
The railroad witnesses declared that
transfer costs, the cost of hauling
empty cars to shipping points, and
such items, make it necessary that
the railroads get additional revenue
from fruit shipments.
The 20 per cent increase, which went
into effect under an order raising all
freight rates June %, 1918, was tempo
rarily suspended last season when the
Idaho crop was short. but the agree
ment under which this was done ex-
pired last May, and the public utilities
commission is seeking to have the in
crease abrogated altogether.
