FROM THIN AIR.

This week. local shoe store has
been charged profitecring to the ex-
tent that fine of $1,000 was assessed
against the concern, according to
street gossip. OF course such fine
would be matter Of court record and
as such. fair meat for every newspa-
per in Idaho. Wow! What story.
The only difficulty is that it isn't so
and the courts have long arms for
those newspapers who print such ru-
mors for fact. OF course. persons
who spread the malicious falsehoods
imagine the papers won't print such
things but they never think to walk
four blocks TO the court house, or
even use a telephone five minutes, be-
fore informing the next person they
know. We are certain that those self
same persons who thoughtlesslv hurt
the reputation of fair and honest
home merchants do nor realize that
the only distinction between a news
papers right to publish such harmful
rumors and the persons right to dis
tribute the news verbally is only the
distinction between libel and SANDER.
Last fall, several Caldwell mer-
chants came under the shadow of sim
liar stories which took varying and
grotesque forms. II was asserted,
however, in connection with every in
stance that some secret service oper-
alive had bought an article OF clothing

THE TRACTION PROBLEM.

There 10 no use blinking the facts
Caldwell and residents in the tributary
district at present served by the Nc
Neil branch Of the Caldwell Traction
company lines are face to face with a
serious situation. Whatever many
persons might have thought during
the time that this problem was dew
eloping to Its present critical stage,
Mr.. Scbree is going to get out of the
electric railroad business. II is useless
to question his justification, nothing is
to be gained by rehearsmg the his
tory Of the road. Tuesday evening
discussion of the bygone facts was an
evasion of the real issue and truly
immaterial irrevelcnt and of no con-
sequence.
Today we have no interest in those
things which led to the construction
of the line, its alleged poor manage
ment and poorer service. 1t does not
matter that no member OF the com
nunity is railroad man capable of
justly judging the worth of the line.
It is, however. clearly evident from
the sentiments expressed by those
who are in a position to Judge best the
value Of the line to the affected COM
munity that it must not be torn up.
From an economic standpoint, Il is
clearly evident that losses from this
years potato crop alone will exceed
the. value of the road in the event il is
abandoned. Canyon county roads
have not been designed to stand the
heavy traffic such as moving the po-
tato crop would place upon them.
Hundreds of thousands OF dollars
would be necessary to put roads in
condition to bear that traffic. It is
probably true that in the years to
come, electric interurban service will
be entirely replaced by a trucking
service for freight transportation.
But Canyon county is far from that
point. If there ever existed a need
for the construction Of an electric line
that need has increased exactly in
proportion to the development OF the
district which Il serves.
We believe that steps to inventory
to property as basis for q definite
proposal to acquire it as a commun-
ity project is the first essential. That
work should be done Immediately
Time is short and the present is none
too late to expedite arrangements with
all possible vigor.
The prcdicament Of the Traction
company is simply one more indica-
ton Of the industry throttling policy
employed in the United States rela-
tive to public utilities. Over the en-
tire country there are marked indica-
tons of wish to return to business
principles in their operation. Speed
the day.

A DRAINAGE DISTRICT.

Perhaps too few realize the menace
to the Boise-Payette project in the
proposed form the federal operation
and maintenance appropriation. While
sections of the project are rapidly
becoming waterlogged and alkali inn
pregnated. not one cent of the funds
to be appropriated under the present
reclamation bill now pending before
the appropriations committee OF the
house of representatives can be used
for drainage unless a district is
formed.
This situation is direct outgrowth
of the long continual series of cases,
instituted by the Payette- Boise Water
Users association directed at the rec
lamation service. Judge F. S. Diet
rich has yet to rule on the latest and.
Il y to be hoped. the last of these
options.
So far as The Tribune is aware,
nothing of merit has yet been accom-
plished through these court proceed
ures, Last summer. it may be re-
called, Judge Dietrich handed down
= decision that for all its lucidity, nee
essitated another hearing for interpre-
tation. 1t Is true that much expense
has been incurred and such an antag-
onistic spirit developed that the pro-
ject stands today in fair way to be
disciplined Which means "discip-
lining" for all.
OF course the legislation as design
ed upon the recommendation of A.
P. Davis is discriminatory and un-
called for insofar as it relates to
drainage on this project, Mr., Davis
exercised powers vested in his po-
sition which no man can Justify. His
course is just as unjustifiable as would
be that of farmer who starved his
cow because she didn't give six gal
Ions Of milk every day And il would
be just as productive of results
Even less laudible were the sectric
resolutions passed last week BY the
board of directors of the water users
association. Unquestionably wrong
had been committed but there was no
occasion for the vitriolic explosion
which Il engendered Those resolu-
tons are fair sample of one thing
fundamentally wrong with the thought
OF the United States today. We have
become SO accustomed 10 superlatives,
so familiar with the ultimate in ex-
pletives and biting phrasing that san
itary and good sound common sense
IN speech and writing no longer COM
mand attention. Print those resolu-
tions in red and you have every ear
mark of Haunting Socialism The
Tribune is convinced those resolu-
lions will defeat their own end. To
rs. they stand as evidence that Mr..
Davis had some foundation for his
testimony. We believe that some
thing might have been drafted in a
saner. ealmer vein that would have
accomplished far more. This is no
time for more blunders: surely that
by Mr.. Davis is enough
Sometime this summer Judge Deit-
rich will probably decide exactly
what project farmers are to pay for.

conditions under which the govern
ment borrowed the money from you
For instance: If you hold a bond
of the Third Liberty loan, it states
that on April 18th and October 18th
OF each year until maturity, you will
receive interest on the amount You
paid for the bond Other issues bear
other rates Of interest and other ma
turity dates, all of which are clearly
stated on the bond.
Now. if you keep your bond until
the date when the government pays
you in full for it. you do not need to-
worry if, in the meantime, the price
is low one day or high the next. You
and Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other, and
neither will lose by it.
On the other hand, if you sell your
Liberty Bond now, you will find
that the man you sell it to will not
give you dollar for every dollar
YOU paid for it. The price has been
brought down because so many peo-
pie are offering to sell their bonds. IF
the market is flooded with tomatoes,
you can buy them cheap. but il every
one is clamoring for Tomatoes and
there are few to be had, the pric6sgoes
up. The same is true of Liberty
bonds Short-sighted people are
dumping them on the market. and
wise ones are buying them
The best advice that can be given
to the owner OF a Liberty Bond IS
this: Hold the bond YOU bought dur
ing the war; il is as safe and sound
as the United States government it.

Buy as many more at tho present
low rate as you can afford If Won
hold them to maturity. Won are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value.
You will also receive good interest on
your investment
Hold on to your Liberty Bonds and
