COAL FREIGHT RATE
THOUGHT TOO HIGH

Declaring unreasonable and Excess
siye the rates sought to be charged
by the Oregon Short Line railroad
company for the transportation. of
coal from the Teton county so9f
mines to Idaho points, the publicalfs
ilities commission, in an order iAsu-
ed last Saturday, suspended the co5E-
pany's rate schedule and substituted
one in its stead, effective immediate-
ly.
The company's schedule was flied
on order of the commission requiring
the establishment of rates from the
mine to Idaho points. The schedule
was filed July II, to become effectiye
three days later. The commission
found that the rates were unjust and
called hearing at Pocatello August
4. at which evidence was taken.
The railroad company bases It's
schedule on the haul from Wyoming
points to Idaho points, but the com
missions order points out that the
per ton mile rate for these hauls ap-
piled to shipments from the Teton
mines.
There are 25 pages in the commits
sion's order, but most of them are
taken up with tabulations showingy
the rates which the company asked
for, the miles from the mines oil
every station on the System in Idaho. |
and the amounts which the commits
sion finds the railroad companysj
rates exceed what would be consid-
cred reasonable.
In addition to this tabulatlon,
which covers IL pages, there is an
other tabulation. naming the ratel
and mileage from the mines to AM
Idaho points on the Oregon ShortI
Line Railroad company.
The commission clipped all theI
way from cents per ton to $1.7oI
per ton from the rates asked for byI
the company. Examples of rates are:

report of the work done by Arthur
M. Piper, field geologist with the
bureau, preparatory to more thor
ough discussion of the problem at a
later date.
More than 80 flowing artesian
wells have been drilled on the prairie
during the closing months of 1923
and 1924, in most cases for domestic
water supply, Mr.. Piper states. The
hope has risen that such wells could
be used for irrigational purposes, for
with few exceptions farmers of the
district have no rights in the sur
face water of the basin.
After an investigation OF sources
of water, geological and geographic
cal formations, Mr.. Piper recon-

reason to believe that the artesian

SUPREME COURT MAJoRITIES

The annual convention of the United States

quire than majority of the supreme court
to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.

Yet doubtful whether it represents careful
and dispassionate view of the situation
Conservatives Americans are normally con-
servative-do not like to tamper with such great,
vital and highly respected branch of government
the supreme court lest the authority of that body be
weakened and the foundations of government shaken.
Yet as the matters stand, the authority of the
pree court has been weakened by the very fact that
it's decisions by fiveto-four vote, and
its occasional reversal of previous close decisions have
somewhat weakened confidence in it.

unanimous agreement of twelve men necessary for

PRACTICAL POLITICAL ADVICE

President Coolidge made unusually frank d-
rect talk politics the other day group of women
voters who called on him at the White House. AS a
lesson in practical politics it is worth needing by re-
presentatves of both and both parties and is
plicabe to all alike.
Il have been in public life for time" said Mr.
Coolidge, "and learned to say long time that
through looking for ideal candidates for office
They don't exist and have to make the best of what
have for it is only in the way that shall be able
TO make any progress
Now get candidates that just your
ideals possible After you have done that, do what
you to elect your candidates and to support the
principles that they represent. II to promote
good government if we to promote good prlncl-
Piles, it must be by the support of the and
that represent those principles
This, of course, is mere conlnon sense, yet it is
often overlooked by people who, with the highest
ideals fail to accomplish anything for lack of practical
procedure. Government cannot function in vacuum.
Any government is government of men, and men
taible and weak, like those who elected them. 1t is
well, while aiming always at the highest, to make the
best ofthe human material availabe-to get the best
of the available candidates at election time and out
of the in office after election instead of antagon
