If tho Idaho I'owar Company sue
ceods In nocurliiR tho adoption of
Its property schodulo at $22000,000
as the basis of rate making In this
territory, tho day of pumping for
Irrigation Is over. Tho rnnchors
might JUBt as well quit, and glva
tha Powor company tltlo to tholr
lands and sock othor cllnos.
Thoro nro nion In tho oinploy of
tho I'owor company who know that
tho rnnchors cannot mnko a living
on tholr farms with tho high power
costs. Tho powor company Itsolf
cannot run tho farms, either, and
that makes tho situation Impossible.
It sooms that thin I'owor company
onco conBolldatod Its Interests nnd
reduced tho stock Issues by mil
lions. Wo would llko to know hon
estly, how much real cash tho pres
ent company has Invested In Its so
called $22,000,000 concern?
If It bo truo that tho company
has any such sum Invested In Us
properties, Judging by tho quantity
of power thoy lmvo dovolopcd this
Is ono of tho most Inefficient In
stitutions In all tho country.
It Is a fact that until this past
season, thoro has novor boon an Ir
rigation period during which tho
company could deliver enough pow
or to furnish sufficient water for
tholr customers. At that ruto tha
capital cost por horso powor; for
hero was not a great addition dur
ing tho past yoar; Is out of nil
ronton. Thoro Is something radi
cally wrong, somowhero In tho busi
ness of a. company of this magni
tude If It takes an much money as
tho company claims to dnvolopo Its
property to tho state It has roached
Ilollod down nnd without trim
mings tho fact Is that tho company
is asking for a valuation on which
to nsscss charges which will mako It
Impossible for auyono to do business
with It. May bo that Is good
buslnoss, far the company, but In
tho long run wo think not, and tho
company will think no loo, If It suc
ceeds In Its apparont object,

Tho Argus has been approached
sovoral times of lato by Individuals
who bollovo thoy havo n grlovanco
against tho local lumbor nnd coal
dealers. Tho complaint Is mado
that thoro Is n comblno among the
local dealers In thoso two commldl
ties which Is working to tho Injury
of .Ontario.
If thoro Is n combination tangible
proof of that fact Is not prosont, so
far as wo nro ablo to dotormlno,
It does nppoar howovor that tha
price of coal haro Is high. Also
that tho margin which It now ob
tains is greater than that which
previously oxlstod, but tho coal

unpaid bills and othor Itoms roduco
tho margin to n roasonablo figure
Tho Argus Is not undertaking to
hold a brief for tho coal and lum

tho allegations nro truo that lum
bar nnd coal nro sold at lowor fig

tho fact bo olthor proven or dls

THK COMING CONFKIIKNCK
That the Amorlcan people are
praying for tho succoss of tha com
ing limitations of arms conforonco
thoro can bo no doubt. Something
of this kind must bo secured unless
tho world Is to bucomo an nrmod
fortress. Tho toll upon tho wealth
nnd strength of tho world for arm-
nmont Is ovorburdoulng. Wo must
havo rollof.
Tho fact that by a vast voto tho
pooplo of America repudiated tho
Versailles troaty nnd tho Loaguo of
Nations sot forth thoroln, does not
prucludo tho possibility of a concert
of powers, an ontento If you will,
of tho loading nations.
Noed tho formation of tho concert
go to tha end of a doflnlto troaty,
men do not havo to bo bo bound,
nolthor do nations. Nor aro treaties
solamnly ontorod Into, guarantees of
tho covenants thoroln declared. Tho
hlutory of tha world glvos ample
proof that Bothmnnn Hollwog was
not tho first diplomat who consld
ored such engagements, mere,
"scraps of paper."
Without sotting up a supor gov
ornmont tho nations of tho world,
particularly thoso to ongago this
wcok In tho conforonco at Washing
ton can, It public opinion In tholr
several countries will sustnln them
agrca to limit tho building of battle
ships, forts and other war aganclos
for a doflnlto period of years.
Howovor much tho representa
tives of tho powers might wish to
accomplish this end thoy cannpt,
unless backed by public opinion In
tholr homo lands. So long as tho
pooplo of tho world want wnr, or
sco In that agoncy tha only means
of securing Justlco tor thotnselvcs,
thon so long will wnr continue Tho
futility of war as n remodlnhlo
agency must ba focognlxcd by tho
pooplo.
So long as tho public wills It, so
long will tho nations contlnuo to
bankrupt thomsotves building battlo
ships. . '
AIIK WI3 A I'ltKi: NATION?
It Is the proud boast of overy
Amorlcan, of every Kngllshman, of
ovory Kronchman, of ovory Inhabi
tant nnd cltlxon of many other
lands that his Is n froo nation. In
fact none of them nro froo, In tho
comploto sonso of thnt torm; that Is
froo to dotormlno tho policial they
would follow.
If America woro entirely freo to
choso nor own path, would alio not
Immediately limit hor oxpondlturos

all tho nations of tho oarth wo aire;
wo bollovo, tho least bolllcoso; yet
today wo aro engaged In a great
naval program costing billions of
dollars, and why? Ilocnuso Japan
nnd England nro also building war

as thoy contlnuo?
