LIGHT COMPANY
ASKS INCREASES

More than 100000 in addition to
the revenue received during 1922
will be raised by the Idaho Power
company if proposed rates which it
will submit to the public utilities
comission July 16, are approved. This
is indicated, it is opined by members
of the executive committee of the
Southern Idaho Light & Power Users
association, who met at the city hall
Friday, by the power company's fl
nancial statement.
In the belief of the committee
members, the company's proposed
rates are intended to produce this adj
ditional revenue, which. it is alleged,
will average 20 per cent increase on
all classes of service.
Increases vary, according to asso-
citation comitteemen, from small
per cent to as high as 20 per cent,
while the bulk of the increases
which are above the 20 per cent av-
erage, are for the smaller users in
the various classes of electricity. The
larger users of each class will get
off with somewhat less than the 30
per cent average, it is charged.
AS an instance of this condition, it
is stated in the minutes of the meet
ing. that the owner of large resi-
dence gets off with considerably less
of an increase than the man with a
four or six-room house. The increass
on municipal lighting is above the
average, it is contended. Statesman

FARMERS AND OTHERS
DISCUSSING PROCEDURE
AS TO FREIGHT RATES

Boise, Idaho, July 3.-There have
been numerous group discussions in
various parts of the state the past
week as to the best means of pro-
ceeding with relation to freight
rates.
A movement has been under way
for some time to organize activities
of a more or less antagonistic nature
to the interstate commerce commits
sion.
1t has been pointed out, however,
d those carriers are now engaged
in an effort to reconcile their differ
onces with connecting lines and with
shipping interests other than agri-
culture. These lines and interests,
1t is known, would seriously contend
against the agricultural position I'M
less some advance understanding
were had, which would not be pos
sible in the event of immediate ap-
peal to the commission.
Voluntary Decrease
The negotiations now pending
look to voluntary decrease in agri-
cultural freight rates, applicable to
the present growing crop, whereas,
it is stated, official action would re-
suit in long drawn out fight, and
a very expensive one, with the end
indefinite, and the only satisfaction |
that might be possible being that
CLEANED from the fun of fight and
self-glorification.
Attitude of One Meeting
AT one of these meetings the atti-
tude was practically unanimous that,
If the Idaho carriers were not ser
iously endeayoring to make adjust
ments leading to voluntary reduc-
tons at once, they would welcome
an appeal to the commission. Such
action would relieve them of respon-
sibility, and adverse shipping inter
ests and connecting lines would be
The contenders against the Idaho pro-
iucers shippers in a contest that
might last for years.
