THE FORUM

To The Tribune:
Every one in Caldwell should get
behind the proposed tidying up cam
paign, but let's make it permanent.
A temporary clean up will help, but it
won't get US very far. The Getty
Beautiful" should be the goal, and
that means lot of steady, systematic,
careful work. yet it's we'll worth the
price.
A mere glance at the streets, alleys,
sidewalks and abutting lots in any
part of the city will show the need of
a real cleaning up campaign, because
accumulated weeds and rubbish can be
seen right and left, some times even
contesting the right of way with ped
estrians and traffic This will be the
first thing to deal with, and while at
it there should be some way of reach
ing vacant lots, which are too often
covered with rampant weeds and I'M
slightly rubbish heaps. that are dis
tressing in appearance.
After this is out of the way, the
matter of permanent plans for santa
ton and identifying should be taken
hold of and worked out A lot might

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

II there is one clause in the Idaho
Nonpartisan state platform which
should be universally condemned il
is that relating to government owner
ship of railroads. This issue, initially,
is national and has no place on state
platform. And nationally, the issue
is decadent, practically discarded.
Two years experience with govern
ment operation should have convinced
the most ardent believer in public
ownership of public utilities that the
theory has absolutely nothing to COM
mend it when the country's transport
tation facilities are under consider
alton. Government operation of any
business usually means a short sight
ed policy. 1t certainly did with the
railroads.
No single thing in the United States
today, economists are fairly we'll
agreed. has SO much to do with the
present Tightening of credit, high
prices, the stagnation of many indus
tries, an encroaching shortage of
work for laboring men and threaten
ed severe coal shortage this winter
as has the utter inability of the ma
tion's transportation system to keep
abreast of the demands made upon it.
And all this must be attributed to the
adject failure of the federal railroad
administration to recognize and pro-
vide in advance for this situation,
which, through neglect. has become
so acute that it is vital menace to
the welfare of this nation today.
Give the railroad adequate trans
portation facilities, plenty of cars, en-
gines and other essential new equip
ment and many of the economic prob
lens of the country will evaporate.
As usual, experience has been an ex-
pensive way to prove the weakness of
the theory that the railroads may
more capably be operated by the
government than under private con-
troll.
We question whether there is a
farmer in Idaho who can whole
heartedly swallow this Nonpartisan
plank in the face of accumulated evil
dence. For labor, the plank has an

appeal because it means constantly
increasing wages under political clubs
for the railroad brotherhoods. And
yet this bubble might explode. for
the reason that Uncle Sam has fairly

experience, decided in favor of the

yards. under the stress of war time
conditions, were open to union and
non-union men alike.

be said on this phase of the subject
but there will be time to do this later
on. The main thing is to join with the
real estate mems committee, and the
Odd Fellows. and Boy Scouts and
help make a good job of what they
propose to do.
And while we are about it let us dis
play big bump of civic pride by a
determination to make Caldwell i
really beautiful and attractive town
in the best sense of the term.

DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.

Long before either of the two major
political parties selected candidates
for the fall campaign, it was obvious
that one of the central issues would
center around the assumption oil
power by the executive department.
To make the issue even more clear
cut, the Republican party headed its
ticket with member of the United
States senate, man who had felt the
pressure of executive dominance and
who, by his very nature, is opposed
to the idea of centralized government
Never in history has the United
States SO closely approached one-man
government as the nation has during
the second term of Woodrow Wilson.
That representative government has
been jeopardized and is putting the
true condition in mild light. Under
the mask of war necessity, executive
autocracy has been built. up until we
have none of that check executive
power so wisely pro-ided in the con-
stitution. In small way, Presiden,
Wilson has assumed the role of die
tator and it has only been At the cost
of great sacrifices that his assumption
of power has been halted by the
United States senate.
In the light of these things, it ID
interesting to note what Mr.. Wilson,
many years before he became presi.
dent of the country, said relative to
the assumption of executive power
From his history of the American
people, the following pertinent para.
graph is taken:
In April, 1874, President Tyler
sent to the senate a treaty of an
nexation which he had negotiated
with Texas. Secret negotiation, q
piece of business privately carried
to completion and made public
only when finished, suited well
with the presidents temper and
way of action. A man naturally
secretive, naturally fond, not of
concealment but of quiet subtle
management, not insincere, but in
direct in his ways of approach, he
relished state craft of this sort.
The senate rejected the treaty by
very decisive vote of Is to IS.
Men of both parties alike, deeply
irritated that the president should
spring this weighty matter upon
the country in such a fashion, tax
ing no counsel before hand, save
such as he chose to take.
Evidently Mr.. Wilson has changed
his mind. After all there is nothing
which so heightens the lust for powe
as the taste of it.

heard nothing of him settling up for
depredations m m tilted against
American citizens and their property.

DR.. Pratt advised against the pur-
chase Of the German mark because of
the changing German monetary sys-

This Boy Learns
Wisdom of Taking
Care of Bicycle

Bicycle thefts have been numerous
lately but there Is one boy who owns
n bicycle. who will not be caught nap
ping. He has been taught the wisdom
of protecting his property against
thieves.
The boy is Charles Hart, employed
by Quincy Alexander in the latter's
South Third avenue drug store. Hart
had habit of leaving his bicycle In
front of the store and had been warn
ed by his employer that It would be
stolen The lad had more faith in
humanity than had the druggist and
refused to believe any one would take
1t.
Monday afternoon Alexander re-
moved the wheel from it's accustomed
place at the curb stone In front of
the store and secreted it in back
room. Hart later discovered 1t had
been taken He bewaiIed his lack OF
ttention to warnings and hurried to
the police station to notify the po-
lice.
Meanwhile OFFICER West was In
formed of the trick played on the lad
and a neighboring merchant was
urged into the plot to impress the
lesson on the lads mind. Tuesday
2fternoon the neighboring merchant.
CARRIED in n long black coat and false
whisllets took the wheel from its
hiding place. OFFICER West entered
the Alexander store and asked Hart
IL the police had found his bicycle. He
said he had not recovered his lost
property.
isn't that your wheel now?" cried
the officer, pointing to a bewhiskered
individual peddling briskly past the
drug store. The lad did not stop TO
answer but shot out OF the store In
pursuit of the bicyclist. The latter
headed east in Nevada street with
the owner of the wheel in hot pur-
suit.
After two-biock chats the rider,
having gained some advantage over
the firing boy. abandoned the wheel
and sought refuge in Il lumber yard.
The boy returned triumphantly to the
store on his bicycle and Immediately
notified the police station that the
wheel had been recovered.
He also took steps to issure his
bicycle against seccn theft, not
having been told that q first disap-
pearance was frame L 70 impress
the necessity OF such action.

commission? Please answer at our
expense"
After receipt of the operators tele-
gram Mr.. Eschbach stated that the
next step of the commission probably
would be to issue an order allocating
the amount of coal needed to supply
the state among the mine operators
and require them TO produce it, This
action is provided for under Section
of the law creating the commission,
it was stated.
The commission received a letter
from S. D. Alexander, of Leavenworth,
Ind, a school official, who stated that
E. T. Slider, of New Albany, with
whom his board does business had in
formed him that the report of the
Indiana operators had stated that they
would accept no orders for coal in
Indiana. The Leavenworth school as
well as % others appealed to the COM
mission for coal. The Elkhart Water
company informed the commission
that it must have coal at once. The
Cherubusco Water and Light com
pany wired that unless it got coal at
once it would have to close down.

INDIANA, Oct. 9.-The Indiana coal
mine operators today withdrew from
their agreement with the special coal
and fuel commission to furnish coal

The withdrawal was contained in a
telegram from Jonas Waffle, of Terre
Haute, secretary of the Indiana Coal
Trade Bureaus, addressed TO Jesse
Eschbach, chairman of the special
commission.
The telegram from Mr.. Waffle, who
made an agreement several weeks
ago on behalf of Indiana operators
with members of the commission to
furnish coal to state and county in
stitutions and schools at a price of 81
ton, (. o. b. mine,. stated that in
view of coal order No. he was com

Order No. fixed the prices of coal
at the mines. Chairman Eschbach inl-
mediately sent telegram to Mr..
Waffle asking him to define specifical'
ly his attitude and inquiring If he re-
fused to supply schools, hospitals,
utilities, and individual consumers al
the prices fixed by the commission.
Mr.. Eschbach's telegram follow:
