THE DEATH OF MAupE POWELL

n OVERS OF music in the United
IL States are grieved indeed to learn
Of the sudden death of Madam Maude
Powell, celebrated American violinist,
who died Thursday of this week at
Uniontown, Pa. following nervous
breakdown and an attack of acute in
digestion. Her untimely demise re-
mov.d from musical circles one Of the
truly great artists. Few women had
advanced farther than Maude Powell
in interpreting the violin and trans
hitting from its delicate strings the
rarest of harmony.
1t was but recently that Boise music
lovers had the pleasure of hearing
Maude Powell in concert and they were
delighted with the beautiful program
size gave at that time. With her
playing SO fresh in their memory her
death coming SO soon after her ap-
pearance here makes her loss more
keenly felt. To her memory they pay
the highest of tribute, for she was with
out question an exceptional musician.

THE MONEY SITUATION.

n NATIONAL problem that is
IN serious and pressing is afforded by
the money situation. The federal re-
serve system has raised its discount
rates in such a way rs to wipe out
entirely the so-called "differentiaI'
which has existed between the rates
charged for the rediscounting Of paper
collateralled by government bonds and
certificates and the rates charged for
commercial rediscounts. At the same
time the treasury has announced that
it's next certificates of Indebtedness
will be issued at a rate Of Ak per cent.
This quite plainly recognizes a higher
rate for money as having been estab-
lished in the commercial loan field. At
the same time the rates for call funds
have gone as high as 25 per cent during
the past week, with daily renewal rates
on outstanding loans of 15 per cent.
The fact that the reserve bank per-
centage has fallen to the lowest point
in its history, and that still lower
ranges may be expected in the near
future indicates that there is little or
no prospect of reduction of interest
rates for any considerable period in the
future.
1t is entirely possible that the So
called turn of the year" payments may
be followed by an easing of the rate
situation from its extraordinary con-
dition, but this easing can hardly be
more than temporary and superficial
so long as existing business conditions
prevail. This means that the early
part Of the present year is likely to be
a time of very continuous financial
strain although it may be feasible to
relieve it If all those who have need
for loan funds eEdeavor to keep their
applications within bonds and use
their resources in strictly conserva-
tive manner.

ference is Of the opinion that public
sentiment In America has not ad-
vanced to the stage that admits of
any real limitation of the right to
suspend any service not public in the
full sense Of the term and to settle
disputes by trials of endurance.
In this assumption the conference
is mistaken. Public sentiment draws
another istinction-namely, the dis
tinction between semi-public indus
try, or public utilities, and private
industry. The wide support COM
manded by the anti-strike feature of
the Cummins railroad bill is signif-
icant. The public is prepared to back
up proposals for compulsory or at
least semi compulsory arbitration Of
disputes within the whole field of
public utilities. interstate, intrastat to
and local. Where competition has

Of the public interest, scientific regu-
lation is perceived to be desirable

GASOLINE IN OREGON,

Portland Oregonian.
Mr.. Kozer of the secretary of states
office produces gasoline tax figures
which reveal that in the nine months
during which the tax law has been in
effect Oregon has consumed 10000, 900
gallons of gasoline. The consump-
ton is at the rate Of 100000 gallons
a year.
Here is basis for computing the
cost to Oregon consumers Of the re-
cent advance in the price of gasoline.
That advance of III cents a gallon
means total outlay by users In a
years time of 100000. The reason for
this increase Is ascribed by the oil COM
panies wholly to the gravity test i'm
posed by the Oregon law and it is
promised that repeal Of the law will
cause a corresponding reduction.
Clearly 1t Is important to know just
what advantage Oregon Is receiving for
its 100000 year. If that something

that the state is forcing the oil COM

HAVE REACHED THE CROSS
ROADS.

S7HE Democratic party must either
II follow President Wilson and make
the peace treaty the campaign issue
of 1920, or, refusing to do so, adopt the
suggestion of William Jennings Bryan
and proceed to ratify that document
with reservations. The cross roads
have been reached as was made ap-
parent at the Jackson day banquet
held in Washington Thursday. Dis
patches from the national capt.
tai, indicate the stand taken by the
president has closed the road Bryan
insists the Democrats should follow
and hope that the treaty may be rati-
fled during the present session of con-
gre3s, is rapidly vanishing.
II the latter is true there will be
many disappointed people in the United
States. who, dreading that the treaty
would be made a political issue, have
stood on the side lines witnessing the
game going against them. Taking the
TO be no doubt but what ratification
Of the treaty with reservations will be
decidedly more satisfactory than drag
ging 1t through the mire of a political
campaign.
Bryan's flash in the political horizon
at this time is in keeping with his
spectacular record. He is diametricaI-
ly opposed to President Wilson as to
the manner in which the treaty issue
should be disposed of. In taking this
stand he voices the feeling of a portion
OF the Democratic party. President
Wilson is in similar position. He
leads the standpat ratifcationists.
1t is strange coincident that after
months Of debate and conflict, Presi-
dent Wilson should finally reach the
conclusion that United States Senator
Borah did long ago. that the treaty and
league Of nations covenant should be
submitted to a referendum of the peo-
pie for their approval or rejection.
When he returned from Paris, Presi-
dent Wilson insisted upon unquali-
ned ratification. He made a tour of
the country carrying his case to the
people. But this club he attempted to
hold over congress did not get the re-
suits anticipated. The senate declined
to ratify the treaty unless reservations
were made protecting Americas prin-
ciples. President Wilson. by one word

with reservations. but he elected to

not muster sufficient votes to approve
the document. Now tho president IL

MUSIC A CLOAK FOR GERMAN

For clear and admirable sense upon

Legion concerning German music.
Good music. whether 1t be by Wagner,
Strauss or Sousa, can not and should

ted by the executice committee of this
state. At the same time. "attemps to
use music as cloak for German
propaganda and as setting for the
placing Of German kulture before the
public in it's most favorable light" will
be opposed.
This is exactly the view urged In
these columns, and we think 1t is the
view Of Americans generally. The ar
rogant propagandaism of the late pro-
duction Of German opera in this city
made its purpose unmistakable. 1t
