ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION LINES
A GREAT BOON TO THE NATION

The most remarkable expansion in
the electric light and power industry
has been brought about through the
development of the high tension-long-
distance transmission lines, Edward
B. Lee, of the Electric Bond and Share
Co., says in an article in Financial
World, relating the remarkable de-
velopment of the utilities.
Extensive transmission lines now
cover a large part of the country"
says Mr.. Lee. I'm a large number
of cases practically entire states are
covered by network of transmission
lines with power generated at only
few principal generating stations.
1T is the transmission line systems
that make the present electric COM
pany a power company rather than
lighting company. 1t is high vol
tage transmission Yne development
that also has made possible the use
Of hydro-electric plants, because pow
er generated at points far from in
dustrial centers can be brought to
points of consumption.
"As to the probable future growth
of the public utility industry, it can
safely be said that great as has been
the development to date, the develop
ment of the future will continue along
big lines. Particularly will this be
true of the electric power and light
industry. This industry actually is
only getting it's start. AS recently as
20 years ago electric companies were
selling practically no electricity for
power purposes, while today there
are probably 100000 horsepower in
electric motors in the United States
this is only beginning Of the cleo
trio load that the companies will be
carrying within few years"
Do we need fewer domestic en-
ployees,
Answer as you will, the census
shows a considerable decrease in EN-
ployees of that classification. A sur
vey of the householders' field will also
show that more women than at any
time are taking care of their own
The greatest one reason
for this is the increased use Of cleo
trical contrivancs for minimizing la
Dor.
AS an indication of this greatly in
creased use Of the many electrical
we note a few facts
about one Of them, namely, the wash
ing machine. In 1909, about 5000 |
electrical washing machines were in |
the United States. Today approxi |
mately 100000 are in service. The |
war was chiefly responsible for this
great increase. Thousands Of women |
then employed in domestic service
went into government work.-muni
lion factories, etc.-and the machine
stepped into their places. House
wives thus learned full appreciation
If their value, and with their help,
together with the convenience Of
many other electrical devices, it was
discovered that household employees
ire not indispensable.
1t is estimated that by the end of
his year about 100000 houses in
he United States will be wired for
Electricity, making possible still more
attended use Of electrical apparatus.

Good Work

State Treasurer Dan F. Banks may
take pardonable pride in the sta
tistics regarding his Office contained
in the official report of the state audi
tor showing the expenditures of all
state departments for the first six
months of the biennium.
The report places the total expendi-
lures OF the state treasurer's Office for
the first quarter to be S6.009l4. This
sum is the lowest since he has occu-
pied his Office, each year finding a
substantial reduction in cost to the
people.
The total expenditures OF this Of
fee for the corresponding period of
the year 1921 were S8,o5973 and for
the year 1922, S6.351-39.
The earnings of the Office for the
first quarter were S41,436.08; for the
month of July Ss,i27.47 and for Aug
ust $8,573.03.

Save What We Have

Economically, agriculture is in Z
bad way. Perhaps that one thing
makes wisdom almost impossible Of
application when it comes to a con-
sideration of the plight of farmers on
federal reclamation projects. For
what is quite evidently a crisis today
may be far less serious in a few years

OF course we wasted money. Every
other taxable body in the United
States did the same thing. But Cam
yon county taxpayers. we wish to re-
mind Mr.. Beck, are willing to dig up
10 mills extra to retire obligations al

Perhaps Mr. Beck needs a little re-
minder.
Isn't il true, Mr. Beck, that aside

Did He?

Senator Borah, according to the
Nampa Free Press, finally said that he
favors an irrigation district for the
Boise project The Tribune wonders
If he really did. Senator Borah, let
IT be said, has never previously COM
mitted himself on this subject. On
the contrary. he led association advo-
Gates to believe he agreed with them
and district devotees to believe that he
felt an irrigation district was a neces-
sity. There doesn't seem TO be any
particular reason why Borah should
have been driven down from his posi-
ton astride the fence at this particu-
lar time.
