LOOKING FORWARD

No finer investment can be made in
these days on constantly increasing
tourist travel by automobile that a
well equipped tourist park. Practi-
cally every wide awake town and city
in southern Idaho has realized this
and has made some provisions fol-
visiting tourists.
Caldwell is no exception. In spite
Of the limited facilities and the alb.
sence of several conveniences that &c
to make first class tourist park
this city has seen this summer a con-
slant stream of parties stop here for
"a day or two and then continue on
trips that not infrequently embrace
the entire west 1t must be said tina,
some few of them stopped here
pleased with the reception given then
and satisfied that they had reached :
place where opportunity stood or
every side with outstretched hand.
that they could do no better furthe,
on. No one in the light of experience
during the past two years is willing
to concede that investment in ;
tourist park is not wise. Dollar fol
dollar, it is doubtful if any commu
nifty can spend money for advertising
with better results than through the
medium of construction and proper
maintenance of tourist park.
Memorial park, all right in its way
is far from large enough even nov
to accommodate the constantly in
creasing number of parties who woul,
use it. Before substantial additions
are made, it might be advisable t.
look elsewhere for tourist camp
And Curtis park, already a cit,
property, offers every possible facilit,
for the establishment of a tourist CAM
that might be made second to non,
in Idaho. Certainly the proposition i
worth investigating.

ELECTION APATHY.

From ocean to ocean, political OBJ
servers and editorial writers are daily
commenting on the almost absolute
absence of interest in the approach
ing presidential election. With this
important event only six weeks dis
tant there is no enthusiasm and little
interest. The situation is without
parallel, is a Gentry of American his
tory, and yet not since 1860 have
more vital problems came before
American voters for settlement Gov
ernment autocracy, just how far the
United States is to choose to go in
assuming a new and more important
role in international affairs, placing
the business of government on a gov
eminent basis, reduction and more
equitable distinction of the judicial
and many other problems vital to
tax burden, reclamation policies; these
every citizen of this country and
many of them vital to the entire
world, face the next administration.
This nation will perhaps determine
its destiny in the next few months
or years and yet its citizens are
apathetic, listeners in the face of the
responsibility.
Perhaps there is some justification.
Neither major party, many independ-
ent thinkers believe, selected standard
bearers commensurate with the criti-
cal situation. But the die has been
cast. the condition exists and it must
be faced. Failure to inform yourself
on the issues of the day, failure to
cast an intelligent ballot in November
refusal to vote, will constitute a ballot
for political corruption, continued pc.
litical dominance, inefficiency in gov
eminent, the restitution of America
one greatest asset, constitutional rep
resentative government.
If you want a continuation of Will
sons policies, of executive autocracy
an un-Americanized league of nations,
continued government extravaganza
go to the polls in November and vote
for them by casting your ballot for
James Cox. If you don't, see to it
that you register your individual OBJ
lection at the polls. But by all means
don't be Stacker, one of those who
leave it to the "other fellow" Any
qualified elector who fails to vote this
fall is not deserving the privileges OF
American citizenship.

One month ago, Borah was stamp
ing up and down the state maligning
the league of nations, and John Mt
gent sat by and watched. Borah had
the field, Nugent looked on.
Now Borah has gracefully given
Nugent an opportunity to champion
Wilson war baby" and Nugent is
stamping up and down the state glori-
flying the international scheme.
Sometimes we wonder just what
kind of working agreement Idaho's
distinguished senators may have.

Some Sidelights
From Washington
By ]. E. JONES.
(By Mail.)

The Condition of Street Railways.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 4.-The
| commission appointed by President
Wilson more than a year ago for the
purpose of investigating the electric
| railways situation of the country, has
returned its report The commissio
calls conditions by tn cir proper
names, and its says that the financial
credit of the street railway industry
has been lost, and that in many local.
ties the railways are not performing
their public function. This condition
is ascribed to the increased costs of
labor and material, early over-capitali-
cation and financial mismanagement,
in the past; public distrust and an
tagonism, failures of the fixed five
cent fare to meet existing conditions,
extensions into Improbable territory
in furtherance of real estate specula-
ton, and failure of employers and
employees to properly cooperate. The
report estimates that from $l75,0O0,-
600 to SOC, 100000 annually will be
required to properly carry out the
future needs of the industry and it
emphatically declares restoration of
public confidence is one of the vital
necessities of restored credit
Assuming that the ailments of the
street railway industry have been very
clearly diagnosed, according to the
above summary of conditions that
are generally recognized. it is hard
to understand how these utilities are
going to be able to keep pace with
the growth of their communities and
the country, and raise the hundreds
OF billions of dollars that will be re-
CURED as the years roll by, unless
they actually regain public confidence,
and get their affairs running along
smooth and easy lines.
Commission Points the Way.
The presidents federal electric rail
ways commission has made unanim-
GUS report, and in view of the fact that |
1t presents an agreement among men
of strong personality whose interests |
are entirely divergent in the every day |
affairs of their lives. it is no more |
than could be expected that President
Wilson should have extended to the
commission his sincere thanks for
the very able and valuable report"
and at the same time state his ap-
probation 'of the self-sacrificing eff /
forts of the commission members in 1
so freely devoting their time to the
task undertaken at my request. But
| cannot but believe" says the presi-
dent, that the results achieved will
prove to be full compensation for
their efforts"
This splendid acknowledgement of

back by the automatic reduction of
the fare paid by car riders.
Unless the usefulness of the cleo
trio railway is to be sacrificed" says
the report, public control must be
flexible enough to enable them to Sc
cure sufficient revenue to pay the
entire cost of service rendered, in
Guiding the necessary cost of both
capital and labor"
The Right to Strike.
The majority report of the anthra-
cite coal commission added approx
mately $85, OO0, 900 to the wages of the
miners. A minority report suggested
a further increase in the rate of pay
but very fairly stated that the ma
jority report should 'have the full
practical acceptance" of the miners, in
accordance with the obligation as
sumed when the method for obtain
ing the wage award was agreed upon.
Thereupon an energetic group of labor
leaders started in to repudiate the
vote of the men direct from the mines
who accepted the original proposition
for settling their wage grievances,
and they are now reminded by Presi-
dent Wilson that by all the laws of
honor upon which civilization rests,
that (their) pledge should be full
filled"
Thus again, disaster has been
threatened the country, through cut
ting off anthracite soal supply, after
a plain business agreement within the
industry was submitted to an investi-
CATION and determination of an Of
fetal body-which gave the increases
in wages that had been asked for.
Collective Bargaining.
The term, collective bargaining"
means that wage-workers shall have
the right to organize, and through
their chosen representatives, make
bargains with their employers con-
corning wages and other phases of
their work. During the war this
method of governing employment
gained full official recognition, and
former President Taft was chairman
of the war labor board that put teeth
into the enforcement of the principle
in industry.
Railroad employers and wage-work-
ers reached the progressive viewpoint
that the government should be taken
into consideration as the logical pro-
tector of the public interest, and more
than two million railroad men agreed
with their employers to an adjust
ment of wage relations by the govern
ment Other industries have been
asking the government to adjudicate
their affairs, and through the plan Of
collective bargaining" the process
has been making rapid progress.
