that popular rather than machine
victory will result.

The Wichita Beacon reports that Kan
sas farmers are fighting the high cost of
living by building sod houses, same as the
pioneers did. That may do for Kansas,
but Vermont farmers would hardly care
to return to the log cabins of Vermont
pioneers. In fact they could not because
most of them have sold their logs.

SEEING MOVIES IN DAYLIGHT
New Screen Idea Promises to Do
Away With the Necessity Of
Darkened Theater.

The public Of London, England,
is interested in what is known as a
@. E. D. daylight cinematograph
screen, whereby with the usual pro-
jecting apparatus pictures are pro-
duced in daylight equal in definition
to those shown in darkened theaters.
Heretofore, where this clear defini-
ton has been got in daylight, there
was required tremendous amount
of electric current, and the consump-
ton of the films has been CORE
spondingly rapid. In the case of the
@. E. d. screen the amount of cur
rent for indoor use for daylight or
artificial light is no greater than, or
is below, the amount normally re-
CURED in darkened moving picture
theaters. If the invention works
out, moving pictures can spread into
countries where the natives will not
go into darkened buildings, and
needless to say the educational uses
of moving pictures, both CONNER
cially and otherwise, will be multi
piled.

MUSIC MAKERS HATED MUSIC
Many Famous Masters Of Melody
We're Very Far From Being Lovers
Of Its Sweet Sounds.

A great musician is not neces-
sarily a music lover, a fact attested
by many great music makers of the
masculine gender-for instance, the
deaf Beethoven, who was Surround
ed by silence like world walking
among men," This master musician
once declared that before he lost his
hearing in his boyhood he had dis
liked music so much that his father
had to drive him to the practice of
the art.
Even Wagner hated a particular
brand of music, described by him as
a kind that follows the rules and
has no other reason for existence"
as he hated also chat whole clink-
ing, glistening show, grand opera"
Berlioz took greater pride in the fact
that his requiem mass frightened
one of the listeners into a fit than in
his masterpiece, and Paganini often
said that he would rather be praised
for the grace Of his buys to his au-
dience than for his musical perform

SYMPTOMS OF SANITY

Nampa citizens are evidently awal;-
ening to the realism that advertising
Nampa as a center of near Socialists
activity is not particularly desirable.
Last Tuesdays school election proved
it. Perhaps it was strange place to
test the popularity of the two groups
but nevertheless the issue seems. to
have been clearly at stake.
Eighteen months ago. H. HI. keim
was elected mayor of Nampa after a
bitter flight when his war record was
aired to the world. Masking under
the guise of Church" candidate, and
supported by the Nonpartisan organs
published there as progressive. Keim
was elected to office.
Nampa has been regretting it ever
since, at least that portion of the peo-
pie who either before or since the
election have been convinced that he
could not keep beneath the surface
that element in his character which
cropped out during the war when it
was necessary to Smoke him out" in
order to induce him to subscribe to
various war funds.

mails, fluorished and, all in all, Namps
became the-Idaho seat of Socialism.
Keim's tenure in office has never
been popular one, if we are to judge
from the protestations of Nampa peo-
pie. And when he recently vel
coined the Nonpartisan state gather ring
there is words that perhaps more
truly represented his real sentiment
than anything he has dared to say
since April. 1917, and which, during
the war, might even have endangered
his personal liberty if not his life,
Nampa was ready to revolt.
Sanity is returning to the world
In Europe, Herbert Hoover graphically
remarked that Socialism is bankrupt"
In the United States, we are learning
once more the lesson of patience and
are beginning again to live on the
plane of common every day life. And
Nampa is getting ready to clean
house.

approval by the president seems to
be fully justified by the thoroughness
of the Investigations made by the COM
mission, which held extended public
hearings in Washington, and which in
every other consistent way obtained
the views of all manner of interests
and people in every part of the coun-
try. Among the recommendations is
the plan now in operation in Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Dallas, Montreal, and
other cities, which provides service
at cost" Primarily, the plan provides
for furnishing rides at actual cost,
which shall govern the rate of fares,
and for protecting the investor by
guaranteeing a fixed return on an
agreed valuation of his holdings. The
controlling element in favor of such
"a plan, according to the commission,
lis the restoration of public confidence
in the corporation due to the removal
of those elements of friction which
have so frequently engaged the at
tention of the public" Speculative
gain on the part of the railways gives
way under such system to "a COM
mon sense business basis where the
people pay for the service they get
and where the opportunity for large
profits no longer exist, since econ
omies and lower operating costs are
reflected in reduced charges for serv-
ice." The commission adds: when
the contract once is established, the
opportunity for municipal corruption
is reduced to the minimum"
Three Parties to the Situation.
Arrangements must meet their duties
to the public with the highest effici-
ency at the lowest cost; public super
vision and control of electric railway
properties must safeguard the public
interest and protect the investors; and
employees should have proper wage
and good working conditions, guaran-
teed by the right of the employees to
deal collectively with their employers,
through committees of their own Sc
lection, and finally "a1l labor disputes
should be settled voluntarily or by
arbitration and the award of such
board should be final and binding on
both parties" There are features in
the report of the federal electric rail-
ways commission to the president.
The commission finds that public
| ownership is, as rule, undesirable
but legal obstacles against such .
course should be removed in order
that the system may be invoked ir
special instances. The mooted ques
ton of fares is discussed, and tn,
commission recommends that if, at {
given rate of fare, more than fail
return of profit results, it should &C
neither to the private corporation MOI
to the city, but should be reflected
