THE COMING YEAR
What will the coming year bring
forth? That all depends upon our
own attitude toward tho problems
which it will present. But this
much can bo said: It will bo bet
ter year than 1922. Why is It pos
slblo to niako such a prediction?
Because of 1922.
Tho yoar that is passing now was
not tho most discouraging of tho
years rocontly encountored, but it
was a revealing period, especially
for tho peoplo of tho Snake IUvor
Valley. Certainly it demonstrated
to tho satisfaction of most people
that speculative farming is not tho
sound practice for this section, and
that stability must bo acheivod
through tho production of diversi
fied crops. It was an expensive les
son to loam, but wo believe that
oven at tho price paid will have boon
worth whllo If It brings about tho
elimination of one crop bids for suc
cess. But tho local situation Is not the
only rauso. for advancing optimistic
forecasts for tho year to come. Wo
have not boon nlono in experiencing
adverse times. Tho agricultural
sections of tho ontlro country have
boon similarly affected and as the
result tho nation's attention has
been focused of lato upon agricul
tural problems, leaders in banking
and industry, in political and govern
mental circles have taken note of
tho condition of tho nation's basic
iudustry and have arrived at a re
alization that such conditions can
not continuo and the nation as a
wholo prosper. Somo of tho great
est minds in America today are ad
dressing their thought to solving tho
farmers' problems. Undoubtedly
this moans n bottor day and a
brighter year ahead.
Two romedies have appeared
prominent In tho proposed trentmont
of tho farmer's problem, an exten
sion of long time credit for crop pro
duction nt lowor interest rates, arid
tho perfection of mnchlnory for mar
keting crops so that tho ranchers
will secure a groator roturn for their
crops. Tho latter is tho more im
portant of tho two, the most noedod
and tho most promising of results.
Important as theso two proposals
aro, however, tho real curative pow
or lies with tho peoplo themsolves.
Thoy cannot oxpoct somo outside
source to continually minister to
thorn, thoy must thomsolves seek to
bottor tholr condition, and thoy will
do so.
Slow as has beon tho progress to
ward diversified farming In tho sec
tion, It Is coming. Farmers In this
soctton who camo to town for vege
tables, and thus paid tribute- to Jap
nneso gardonors, aro becoming fow
or. Farmers who milked tin caps
for tholr coffeo nro bocomlng ox
tlnct, as thoy should. In tho not
dlBtnnt future thoy will bo num
bered with tho dodo and tho dino
saur. When tho dny comes that tho
farmer provldos tho bulk of his own
larder ho will bo woll on tho. high
road to lndopondonco and tho ontlro
community will bo fortified for tho
periodical visitation of depressing
business conditions, for no schomo
as yot has boon dovlsod whoroby any
pooplo enn avoid ontlroly fluctua
tions In business.
Tho year 1922, It Is concoded, wit
nessed tho low point In tho pen
dulum's swing from tho high mark
of 1918 and after reaching an equi
librium tho trond of business will
bo upwnrd. It will start this yoar
and bring with It bottor times for
the ranchors nml business men of
this section as woll ns othor portions
of our land.
section of tho west very materially.
Tho Idaho commission in its study
has applied sound reasoning In tts
findings, the result of which will be
beneficial, not to the public alone,
but to the public utilities companies
as well.
Tho commission has said that tho
public cannot bo expected to pay per
potual tribute for the mistakes of
promoters and managers of public
utilities; nor upon enhanced organ
ization exponscs; nor upon property
purchased for extensions not now
in uso for tho people.
Had tho decision been otherwise
a premium would have been placed
upon careless management and in
efficiency, which ultimately would
havo workod to tho positive harm
of tho public utility companies. In
holding that tho company can not
expect to earn a full return upon its
irrigation equipment tho commission
holds it to its contract with the peo
plo and says in effect that a promise
and contract made by a utility com
pany is to bo kept and Is as binding
upon it as It is upon tho Individual
rancher or1 ditch company. To have
held otherwiso would havo been
wrong indeed.
In handing down this decision the
Idaho commission has done the peo
plo of Idaho and of Eastern Oregon
a real service, and tho Idaho Pow
er company too. The theory of pub
lic regulation of public utilities is
given added strength' and confidence
In public commissions is enhanced.
This victory for the public was
duo to tho united efforts of tho peo
plo of this section, and to the offi
cers of tho Malheur County Farm
Buroau, the Owyhee Ditch company,
tho Shoestring Ditch company and
tho County Agent who aided and di
rected tho bringing of nil these to
gether in tho Southern Idaho Power
Usors' association. Without this
leadership tho results attained would
not have beon secured.

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT
Tho finest Christmas gift rocolvod
by tho peoplo of this section was
that from tho Publlo Utilities Com
mission of Idaho In tho form of Its
doclslon upon tho valuation of tho
proportlos of tho Idaho Powor upon
which tho company may of right ox
poct to onrn reasonable dividends,
Instead of tho $22,000,000 which
tho company sought to havo named
as tho valuo of Its proporty tho com
mission dotormlnod the valuo of
proporty In tho boneflclal uso of tho
publlo to bo $11,500,000,00; r.nd
further that on $1,G00,000 worth of
proporty used for developing Irri
gation powor, It could not oxpoct to
niako n full earning.
Tho doclslou Is a noteworthy one.
It is porhaps somewhat revolution

tostod; but It charts n courso fpr
dotormlnlng publlo utility values
which may offoct tho future of this
