BILL" HAYWARD

Colonel William Hayward OF New
York, federal district attorney, has
made a most remarkable record In
law enforcement in the one city in
the land which most disIikes the
liquor laws, when he has caused pad
locks to be placed on the doors OF
225 restaurants and cabarets.
This means that they will all be
closed for one year and the record
is the more remarkable when 1t is
remembered that very big invest
ment of money and possibilities OF
hugh profits are tied up by the fear
less action of the prosecutor.
Colonel Hayward is fighter.
From the time he was star tackle
on the University of Nebraska foot
ball team until he led home the
heroic negro regiment, which he com
manded thru the hard fighting days
of the World War, he has made
record for standing up on his feet
and battling to the end.
And it does take courage to fight
for the cause of enforcement In
city as wet as New York. Mod1h-
cationists are highly in the ascen-
dancy there and their influence has
even reached out to direct the ut
terances of the president OF their
greatest school.-Frank Brown In

It started quite early on the task of
trying to get along peaceably with
the railroad company instead of try
ing semi-annually to embarrass them
with some fool ordinance telling
them how to operate their trains or
where to load q car of wool. Quite
early we started to act on the belief
that one man cannot change another
mans religious belief by scratching
his nose with pine needles. Quite
early we started to build a record
for not having many business fail
ures in the town, and for paying our
debts to wholesale houses that sup
ply US, for paying on our bonded in
debtedness when it Is due, for not
turning the town over to radicals,
for lending an ear to every one
who offers suggestions for making
the town more substantial, more
beautiful and more honey. Quite
early we saw the Importance of
having the main roads cut straight
into and thru the towns so that
tourists and others desiring to get
into or out of town would not have
to hire a guide to show them the
proper turns. BlackfOot started

REMAINING A PEAK

Mount Rainier has become Mount
Tacoma. The change of name has
been authorized by the Washington
legislature and by the United States
Senate, despite some opposition from
citizens accustomed to the old des-
ignation.
The resolution offered by those
favoring the word Tacoma recites
that whereas 1t is the custom to pre-
serve the Indian names and tradi-
tions in the geographical nomencla-
ture of the country whenever pos
sible, the mountain has borne the
name of an English admiral who
once committed depredations along
the Atlantic seabord.
Admiral Peter Rainier, who sailed
the seas in Revolutionary days, was
a traveller and a hardy commander,
having dropped anchor in the East
Indies, off the coast of Africa, and
in the West Indies, but he had never
the Pacific Coast, nor seen
the mountain that bears his name.
While off the Atlantic coast he did
his best to perform his good British

The railroad company has to main
tain its own roadbed and equipment.
The trucks and autos are supplied
with roadbed free, the whole public
and railroad being taxed for 1t. II
a passenger ON q train receives an
injury, the railroad company is re-
sponsible and pays. II q passenger
on a motor bus gets hurt or killed,
1t all depends on the bus line and
its people whether they pay damages
or not. II goods shipped by rail are
ditched and destroyed or damaged,
the railroad company pays. II goods
shipped by truck go into the ditch
and are ruined, there is every proba-
bility that the owner will have to
stand the loss. II an irrigating ditch
breaks and washes out a railroad
bridge, the company works night and
day to rebuild and keeps the traffic
moving. II a truck breaks thru a
bridge on a highway, it not only
does not rebuild the bridges at all,
but will likely sue the county for any
damage done the truck.
The people operating trucks to
carry freight are often merely ad-
venturers using trucks that are only
partly paid for, and they do not know
what rate they have to charge to
pay operating expenses and to cover
depreciation on their trucks. 1t Is
merely a guess as to how it will come
out, and if they fail in paying for
the trucks, If the truck goes into the
ditch with valuable cargo, there
is nothing certain that the owners
will even get the truck or the goods
out of the ditch They may be broke
and ready to quit anyhow, and might
consider it better for them to vanish
at that good vanishing point than to
face the owners of all this damaged
property entrusted to their care. and
management Many such cases have
happened and there will be more of
them.
A few years ago many people with
a prejudice against the railroads
were advocating the ship by truck"
methods of business, but there is a
gradual change of policy and many
merchants refuse to ship by truck
where they can get rail service, and
refuse to buy of wholesalers who
follow the ship by truck policy.
They consider it unfair and unjust,
and that it is policy which, if per-
sisted in, will destroy our railroad
service without developing anything
reliable in it's place.

COST OF THE BERGMAN CASES

The cost of trying the cases of
the State against w. F. Bergman
has been determined and it is just
little more than the estimates we
published at the time of the trials.
We said the first case cost thousand
dollars or a little more, and the
second one, we reported as costing
about fifteen hundred. The two
cases cost $2964.53, and if they had
been tried at home it would have
cost somewhat less than half Of that.
The travelling expenses of the wit
nesses for the two cOses passed the
thousand mark by considerable, and
it cost about hundred dollars
to ship the exhibits over and back.
1t cost $1,000 for our county at
torney to make the trip and stay
there for the last trial, and little
less for the first one. There were
transcripts of documents that had
to be made, and various items that
would not have been necessary II 1t
had been tried at Blackfoot, but
which would still have been neces-
sary If it had been tried in some
county closer home but not involv-
ing the long trip by rail.
1t cost about eighty dollars apiece
to have witnesses attend court at
Boise for few days. The cost OF
the witnesses and mileage for the
first case was $4,000, and for the
jurors $236.40. For the second
case it cost $4,000 for witnesses and
$541.35 for jurors. In the second
case 100 jurors we're called and ex-
amined, to get twelve.
In making up the cost bill to pre-
sent to this county, Stephen Utter,
clerk of Ada county, pro-
tected this county by tracing out the
record of jurors called for the Berry
man case and used also or consider
ed for other cases, and apportioned
the mileage of such jurors between
the two counties. A review of the
whole situation indicates that trying
he two cases at home would pro-
oably have cost thousand dollars,
,r to have tried them at some point
within fifty or sixty miles would
cost about $1,000 less than to go to
Boise with them.
We give this analysis because,
irst, it has been reported that the
Eases several times as much as they
lid, and second, because there has
)een some adverse comment on ac-
count of the change of venue and
he change to a place so far distant

GOOD ROADS DAMAGING
TRANSPORTATION

The Oregon Short Line is said to
be shifting it's system to see where
it can make some savings in the
operating expenses 1t is said that
the current business of the road is
not sufficient to justify running all
the freight and passenger trains now
.on the schedule, but railroad COM
NAMES cannot take off trains and put
them on whenever they want to. The
utilities commission has to be con-
: suited, and a lot of red tape has to
be attended to even after conditions
change and are proven.
People are ecOnomizing in many
and all ways now and naturally the
volume of business available for rail-
roads is low But that statement
does not cover the present drift OF
business. The automobile is carry
ing considerable of the freight. The
increased travel by autos raised
demand for good roads, and the rail-
road company, and the other prop
erty owners are being taxed to build
and maintain a good roadbed paral-
leling the railroad, for the autos and
trucks to travel to carry the traffic.
The utilities commission tells the
railroad what trains to operate ana
what fares to collect, while the autos
and trucks can start and stop, lay
OF or charge rates as they plea-e.
Part of the way thru Bingham county
the railroad is being taxed to pay half
the cost of the bithulithfc pavement
for the motor vehicles to use IN de-
priving the railroad of their business
and their income. The rest of the
way the railroad company is paying
it's quota for the taxes for various
kinds of road for them. On Sunday
afternoon a gentleman at Firth tai
lied the motor vehicles passing up
and down the line and 1t was at
the rate of one minute. Gooo
passenger trains were operating on a
convenient schedule, but running
almost empty. Trucks operate every
day carrying freight, and freight
trains are running shorter and light
