Boise Beats Bond Issue
Boise citizens turned down another needed area-wide
facility Tuesday, when they failed to pass a bond issue to
finance a Performing Arts Center. This points out two facts.
One. a two-thirds majority requirement is a miserable
restriction to live with; and. two, some Boise citizens have not
yet learned their responsibility as residents of a hub city.
Normally what other cities do is none of our business, and
what we in Nyssa do is nobody else's business. Hub cities, on
the other hand, have the responsibility of leadership and the
need to provide facilities for a vast territory which goes far
beyond their city limits.
s
Not too many years ago state capitals, and to a lesser extent
county seats, regulated the commerce and culture of the
surrounding area. With better transportation and
communication, hub cities became the focal point of an area.
State boundaries have little to do with it anymore, and
Boise is the hub of a wheel that extends nonh to Riggins, east
to Twin Fails, south to Winnemucca and west to Baker.
Likewise. Spokane is the hub of the vast Inland Empire that
extends into British Columbia. Western Montana. Northern
Idaho and Eastern Washington. Salt Lake City to our east and
Portland to our west occupy the same positions as does
Seattle, and it is only a coincidence that Salt Lake City and
Boise are capital «ties.
What Boise does is of extreme importance to us. and to
every community in Treasure Valley. That's why Malheur
County is on Mountain Time, and not on Pacific Time with the
rest of Oregon.
Boise, then, has the responsibility of providing the facilities
that the smaller cities of the Treasure Valley cannot provide.
And that doesn't mean that we are free loaders, for we in turn
provide the people and the dollars to help make these
facilities self-supporting.
Seldom can you go to Bogus Basin, or meet a plane at the
Boise airport, or see a game at Bronco Stadium, without
seeing friends from Nyssa. Ontario, Payette or Parma doing
the same thing.
We lived at Coeur d'Alene when the Coliseum was built in
Spokane. The very first year we saw Ed Sullivan, the Ice
Capades. hockey and basketball games. So did people from
Wenatchee. Washington; Kalispell, Montana; Creston. B.C.;
and Lewiston. Idaho. These people all dropped a bundle in
restaurants, stores, and for overnight facilities; and the
Coliseum has never cost Spokane taxpayers a dime.
Boise will be a great city some day. Besides being a hub
city and a capital city, it has the natural advantages of outdoor
recreation at its city limits. The greatest asset of all. though,
are the citizens of Treasure Valley which it must support, but
also draw on.
We would hope that Boise leaders will get together, decide
on a proper multi-use facility for recreational and cultural
purposes, agree on a proper location, and sell it to their
citizens.
Every time they turn down an issue of this kind, they lose,
but so do all of us who live within 200 miles of Boise. They
only have the legal and bonding authority to provide these
facilities, but they also have the assurance that we who form
the spokes of that hub will support and help pay it off.
Let’s hope that Velma Morrison, Boise civic leaders, and
the progressive citizens of Boise don't get discouraged, and
will continue to work towards providing us with needed
facilities.
Idaho Power Adds
9, tit Customers
Idaho Power Company said
Wednesday more than 9.000
new general business cus
tomers were added to its
system in the last 12 months
and that its increase in
average home use of elec
tricity was the second-largest
of 141 major U.S. utilities.
W
H. Hanes, general
customer service manager,
also reported that total use by
the company's residential
customers alone increased by
14% in the first nine months
of this year and said:
"This is fresh evidence
that growth in customers and
use, as well as in the trend
toward electricity from oil
and natural gas for heating
and processing, is a fact of
life for Idaho Power and that
we must prepare to supply
customer requirements as
they continue to increase."
Hanes said that though
some area residents have
"Good intentions" about
conserving energy and Idaho
Power actively encourages
"wise use" of electricity,
any actual conservation is
being offset by the growth in
customers and average use
“by a wide margin."
Idaho Power records show
service was extended to9.123
new customers in the 12
months ending in September
—the largest number added
in any similar period since
February. 1973.
The additional connections
boosted the total of general
business users supplied by
the company to 205,039
residential, commercial, in
dustrial. irrigation and street

lighting customers at the end
of September.
Nearly 7,460 of the new
customers were residential.
1,151 were small commercial.
509 were irrigation and the
remainder were large com
mercial.
Hanes said the company's
residential customers increa
sed their average annual use
by 941 kilowatt-hours (kwh)
to a total 12,805 kwh during
the 12 months ending last
July, thus giving Idaho
Power the second-largest
gain of 141 major utilities. He
said the period was the latest
for which comparative fi
gures are available.
The first-ranking company
had an increase of 996 kwh to
a total 8,194 kwh and the
mean increase for all the
companies was 135 kwh to a
total 8,096.
In the first nine months of
1975, according to Hanes,
Idaho Power’s residential
customers used a total of
more than 1.6 billion kwh of
electricity.
"That is an increase of
more than 203.6 million kwh,
or 14.1%. over the same
period a year ago,” he said.
Use by the company's
small commercial customers
increased by nearly 9%,
while large commercial cus
tomers were supplied with
7.6% more electricity than in
the first nine months of 1974.
Hanes said that a major
factor in the continuing
increase in use was electric
heating, both new installa
tions and conversions from
other systems.
LETTER
TO EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
The Honorable Al Ullman
House Office BuilJing
Washington. D. C. 2OSI5
Dear Sir
Please protect us from too
much government. We have
too many agencies of govern
ment now. The cost is
terrible. Our budget never
gets balanced. This causes
the inflation which is a tax to
us. We do not need a new
“Agency For Consumer Pro
tection." Please vote against
H R 7575.
If it passes please vote to
sustain the President's pro
mised veto.
If you can't agree with the
above please be fair to
business and vote to remove
the labor exemption. Small
business cannot handle the
paper work that will be
required by this new agency.
Yours truly.

More About Forced Busing
Pasadena's Fundamental Schools
What is now happening in Pasadena, Cali
fornia, demonstrates that forced busing is only
the beginning of more federal control. As a re
sult of a federal court order, Pasadena began
forced busing five years ago. Now. federal pow
er is being used to dictate not only which school
a child shall attend but also what he shall be
taught when he gets there.
Two years ago, in a move which ought to be
copied nationwide, the elected Pasadena School
Board converted one of its school districts to
what is called a "fundamental" school In a
complete turnabout from rampant permissive
nee* and experimentation, the fundamental
school stresses phonics, penmanship, spelling,
arithmetic, and diacipline. In addition, stu
dents begin each day with character-building
sessions which include training in pride, po
liteness, respect, patriotism, and morality.
Enrollment at the fundamental school has

DEMONSTRATION
The Birch Log
by John F. Mciiaiuu
Belmont. Marrachutett» — Anyone who
watches a television documentary about the
many problems associated with busing of school
children is certain to be reminded that buses
are used everywhere in our nation and not just
in cities where trouble has developed The im
plication. of course, is that opposition to bus
ing is really a form of latent racism Such a
blanket inference la both a downright lie and a
monstrous insult
The vast majority of those who oppose busing
to satisfy federal court-ordered integration
schemes have every right to object to the use
of their children in sociological experiments
And that right exists even if many of these dis
traught parents find themselves unable to
express themselves about it to smart reporters
and slick television interviewers What these
parents object to is ¡orce, not riding a bus.
As one parent in Boston did express it: "If
I choose to bus my child to a distant school,
that's one thing. But if the government tells
me 1 must, then something is wrong "
st. Paul's Delegates
OBITUARIES
always been voluntary And the necessity for
busing across town to obtain this "old-fash
ioned” style of education in no way diminishes
enthusiasm for the program on the part of
parents of all races So successful was the in
novation that a waiting list of 1500 (K through
12) quickly arose Other districts were con
verted to meet the demand
Enter The Federal Courts
Obviously, however, voluntary integration is
more than federal authorities can stand Be
cause of forced busing. Pasadena's schools had
been lasing 1200 or more students each year
Since the advent of the fundamental schoola.
the system had regained over 600 youngsters —
many of whom still faced busing in order to get
to whatever style school they choose.
But when the school board began the conver
sion of yet another school to the fundamental
concept in September of thia year. Federal
District Judge Manuel Heal decreed a halt. His
stated reason for doing so was to insure that
the five-year old busing plan, originally ordered
by him, would not be skirted
Federal Power Must Be Curbed
It cannot be stressed too heavily that Pasa
dena's parents had voluntarily accepted busing
in order to obtan a traditional style of edu
cation for their children In the newest funda
mental school, approximately fifty white
kindergarten students were already being bused
into a predominantly black neighborhood.
A survey of the current situation in Pasadena
leads to a number of inescapable conclusions:
(I) Control of schoola and children — not in
tegration — ia the goal of forced buaing. (2)
Parents who object to forced buaing do not do
ao for racial reasons (3) Fundamental educa
tion — not permissive experimentation — ia the
overwhelming choice of parenta. (4) Federal
power muat be curbed, or the schoola, the chil
dren, and the nation will fall under central
ized control, a euphemism for tyranny.
