CHALLENGED
President Truman now finds himself in the
very unenviable position of having to go to the
rescue o f at least two of his last appontees to
public office.
The president has a tendency to remember
his political friends when he is in a position to
assist them and this thoughtfulness has already
caused him considerable disagreeableness.
The appointment of Edwin W. Pauley, form
er national treasurer, to the position of under
secretary of the navy has caused a tempest in
the capital and rightly so, because Pauley’s
name is connected with political scandal. The
hearing, however, has not been completed.
Appointees with shady backgrounds some
times become very competent officials, but fed
eral authorities should be able to find capable
appointees without drifting into the group with
questionable records.

"Y O U know something Joan
Smart said to me eet me think
ing hard. She was getting Hal—
that’s her youngest— an after
school snack from her refriger
ator. And I said — kidding —
because I ’ve known the Smarts
for years —■ I don’t see any
‘bottles' there — where do you
keep ’em? And then Joan said,
O f course, Sally, you know we
don’t keep ’em anyplace— but if
I did, I would be ashamed to
open my refrigerator to the
children. I would feel like I was
actually running a liquor store—
in my kitchen . . . and inviting

And here's why.
Electricity is important to every farmer to help him
produce food, save labor and provide modern conveniences
and comforts on his farm.
Because of these benefits,
Idaho Power Company is endeavoring to complete its

program of rural electrification as quickly as possible.
Our list of customers has reached an all-time high . . . .
our rates an all-time low!
And those customers use more
than twice as much electricity as the national average
. . . at rates that are 35% lower than the national average.
