trembling hand: God bless YOU"
With many handshake Major
Reed has left a SIS bill and moved
off before the needy recipient could
protest or even utter a word of
thanks. So he helped, when help
was most needed, in thousands of
cases. So he aided the pioneers in
many cases to Stick and build

Lessons From His Life
So many lessons could be drawn
from the life and work of Major
Reed that would hesitate if called
upon the differentiated But to my
mind one of the lessons we should
most prize is that of appreciation.
whether or not our dead and gone
friend was appreciated to his full
worth by all those who should have
SO recognized him, the fact remains
that such efforts as he exerted are
not always appreciated as they
should be and too often stumbling
blocks are placed in the pathway of
such endeavors
1t seems to me that if there is
one thing in the life work of Major
Reed that should stamp itself in
dellbly upon our minds it is the
necessity OF extending encourage
ment and aid, and of our state,
whether they come from humble
sources or high, whether from the
Individual or small group or large
business, so long as they are legiti-
mate and have in view upbuilding.
we should not permit ourselves
TO get away from this attitude; for
when we do we lend announcement
TO those agencies that would tear
Town and destroy, that cannot look
with favor upon any development,
whether in irrigation, mining, public
Utilities, live stock, timber, that
provides more opportunities, more
ZONES and truer Americanism,
Speaking broadly, the untimely
leath of Major Reed is an immense
public loss. To thousands it is a
treat personal bereavement. While
lie shall last, in the precincts of
daho business, in the abode of Idaho
wealth and in thousands of humble
ONES and cabins of this state there
,ill come the ungratified wish for
the touch Of vanished hand. the
Ound OF voice that is stilled."

that further violation after the in

may be dealt with summarily.
Senate bill No. 3O6 amended the

My Friends:

tribute more eloquent than any my

thought / had in mind was to
briefly and informally give you some
personal touches from a vast Store
house of memories as precious as any
that ever warmed the heart or en-
trenched themselves in the mind of
man.
Major Reed was very close to me.
For many years we have been in al
most constant contact. AS high as |
held him in esteem as a friend of
mine, held him in still higher re-
gard because he was the friend of
all who struggled to better their
conditions and build up their COM
munities and their state. We had
some business matters in common,
of more concern, however, as de-.
velopment for the public than to us
personally, that were discussed in
my office with the Major on Friday
preceding his death the following
Monday night. He was in good
spirits. He told me that the silver
lining was showing for him and that
he felt no longer concerned as to his
personal needs and could devote his
time to aiding in the upbuilding of
Idaho and the west. And permit me
to digress to say that Major Reed
had not always been so comfortable
as to his personal needs. He pre-
,ented at all times a front of PROS
)er1ty that was often a fiction hon
sstly dealt in because he did not |
want people to be concerned about |
lin but about what he was doing,

Strongly Oppose
Increase in Rate
of Idaho Power Co.

10 determine the fair valuation O
the Idaho Power company and to d.
al necessary work to provide fol
falr and equal justice for the users
OF electricity and the power company
were the salient features touched
upon in a resolution adopted at a
meeting of representatives of south
ern Idaho towns held at the call of
Mayor Ern G. Eagleson in the Boise
city council chambers Thursday. In
creased rates, asked by the Idaho
rover company, should be denied
ana present rates should be mater
Tally reduced, according to the reso-
Luton.
The resolution calls for a per-
manent organization of representa-
tives of every city, village, irrigation
district and other users and calls a
meeting for the second Monday in
May at the Boise city hall.
The resolution follows:
whereas, at convention of
representatives Of cities and various
other users of electric power served
by the Idaho Power company, held at
Boise, Idaho, on the twenty-fourth
day of March, 1921, there was repre-
sented a total population of $4,000;
and
Whereas, such users of power
served. by said company, after con-
sideration of facts now on hand. are
OF the opinion that said company is
not entitled to general raises in
rates as requested of the public
UTILITIES commission, but on the con-
trary the present rates should be ma
terially reduced. Also that all FEAST
bic extensions of service should be
paid from the company's capital.
Whereas, it appears to said con-
gention from casual investigation
hat probably:
(a) The actual physical valuation
IT said company does not warrant
IN increase in rates.
CD It's valuations are based on
var time values and prices which
lave ceased to obtain
(c) It's inventories are inflated
(d) 1t is asking to have rates
aised for the purpose Of paying
l1vidends on common stock which
oes not appear to be based upon
angible assets.

ial conditions it is an inopportune
