GOVERNOR MOORE REFUSES TO
SIGN APPEAL FOR PARDONS

(Boise Statesman) Governor Moore
signed to letter addressed to Presi-
dent Harding, asking release of SO So
called federal political prisoners"
serving sentences for violation of the
espionage acts during the war. JIe
received a letter from the Joint Am
nesty Committee" of Washington. ask
ing him to join in a communication to
those who were sentenced to prison
upon conviction of actions held to be
obstructive to the prosecution of the
war.
The letterhead of the Joint Amnes-
ty Committee states that one of its
affiliated organizations Is the Amer
lean Civil Liberties of Union of New
York" which recently asked the gov
ernor to recommend to the legislature
repeal of the Idaho criminal synd1c-
alism law. This is the law which
state legal advisers say, has SO sue

ton in Idaho Members of the nation

CLOTH COVERINGS PROTECT
PLANTS AGAINST FROSTs

Coverings of rather heavy cloth
laid directly over garden truck or
other low-growing plants are effective
in protecting against moderate frosts,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture reports. The heat from the
ground and the plants is thus con-
served and the losses of heat by ra-
diation from the plant to the sky are
cut off; moreover, the air movement
is so slight near the ground that there
is little tendency for the cold outside
lair to be forced under or through tie
covering
The temperature of the surface #
the cloth exposed to the sky is low
cred by radiation and may fall to a
low point, but as both the cloth It.
self and the air underneath it are
very poor conductors of heat, the tenn
|perature of the covered plants falls
much more slowly. The heat that has
penetrated a few inches into the
ground during the day is slowly con-
Quoted to the surface during the night
and aids in keeping the temperature
under the cover above the freezing
point.
1t is evident, therefore, that the
coverings of this kind should be plac-
ed early in the evening when a frost
is expected, before much of the heat
accumulated in the soil during the
day has been lost. Tin cans or other
metal coverings should not be used
to protect plants from frost. Metals
are good, conductors Of heat and are
also good radiators unless very high
ly polished. Therefore the temper
ature is likely to fall nearly as low
under a covering Of this kind as in
the outside air.

REDUCTION OF FREIGHT
RATE MOVEMENT

To start the movement for a re-
duction of freight rates for Idaho
Governor G. G. Moore and the Public
Utilities Commission have arranged
for the services of Leonard Way, for
mer rate expert with the commission
during the summer months. Mr.. Way
Is secretary to Senator F. r. Gooding
and when it was found that he would
be in Idaho this summer the governor
and the commission asked for his
services in getting the rate bureau
work started.
The commission will soon appoint
a rate man who will work with Mr..
Way this summer to secure the bene-
fit Of his knowledge of Idaho condI-
lions.
Governor Moore Is particularly anx-
fous that determined effort be made
to secure reduction on freight rates
for the Idaho producers. 1t was
through his efforts that the fund for
a rate expert was put back in the up
preparations after 1t had been cut ont
by the appropriations committee. In
his message to the legislature the
governor said: while our railroads
are paying good dividends and making
extensive improvements, including
double-tracking, freight rates are still
ruinously high; and until the pro-
Queer has the benefit of reasonable
rates on his product and a workable
credit arrangement there will be no
relief for the man who holds the plow.
Excessive freight rates must be re-
duced. This can be epedited by the
determined and united effort Of all
the people of the intermountain Sec
ton working through the utilities
commissions"
