THE MONEY OF THE WAR.

j. Ed. Smith, of Idaho Falls, de
livered financial speech in Weiser
last Saturday and stood out for fiat
money He told lots of facts but
did not elaborate quiie enough.
Standing on fiat money he referred to
the first fifty million issue of green
backs by the government and told
how they always passed current at
par, leaving the audience to infer
that it was fiat money issue and
that fact caused it to be good. The
actual reason that these greenbacks
were at par was because they were
redeemable in gold and silver at a
moments notice by presentation at
the treasury Standing on fiat
money, lie referred to subsequent
issues as pitifully deprecated on ac-
count of the exception clause, leav-
ing the audience to infer that a
removal of some of the government
fiat was the cause Of the depreciation,
and that the more fiat money had the
better it was. The exception
clause is not being defended by us,
but we don't lay the depreciation to
that. Mr., Smith should have elab-
GRATED on subsequent issues, and
stated that the first fifty million had
exhausted the government treasury,
and that subsequent issues could not
be redeemed on demand. They we're
simply promises to pay at some
indefinite date when the government
became able; they were notes of the
government and no one knew when
they would be redeemed and there
was the element of doubt whether
the government would ever be able.
All that would have forced them
down had there been no exception
clause. 1t gave to the world that
connumdrum; "'Why are the green
backs like the children of Israel y
"Because they are the issue Of
Abraham and know not their redeemer
liveth "

WHY THIS FIaHT2


There are a few men in Boise City,
net of any party, but dominated by
selfish purpose, who propose to
dictate to the people whom they
should have for Judge This is the
most important Office in the gift Of
the people. The judiciary calls
peculiarly. not for partisan but for
Il man Independent, honest, able and
faithful to his trust A man who is
not there to obey the dictates of any
party, to ally himself with any
political or social faction, but to
honestly and ably interpret the law, to
mete out justice, alike to the million
airc and the pauper He is there to
see that every one who comes into
his court receives fair and honest
hearing, whether he happens to be
accompanied by an array of able
counsel or whether he is there alone
struggling as best he can for his
humble rights against some moneyed
institution This Is the whole secret
of the little fight against Judge
Nugent He is absolutely honest
be has refused to be dominated bv
any clique, he has spent his four
years as Judge in hard work in his
Office and on the bench, and the peo-
pie have cause to believe they are
safe in his hands. Every citizen.
however humble his rights, feels that
when he goes into Judge Nugent's
court he will receive all the law
guarantees him Some time ago a
prominent lawyer was heard to
ccnsure Judge Nugent because he re
fused to recognize technicality
which would have resulted in the
opposite party losing his claim, W hich
was just one, because being less
wealthy he was not able to employ
quite so learned counsel as appeared
for the other side. The people of
this district will not be controlled by
a small faction who think they must
own the court in order to succeed in
everything they undertake
There is no question but this fac
ton are putting up their money to
influence this fight, there is no ques-
ton but they have put this money up
with an understanding with Mr.
Richards himself that it is to be
used to secure his election.
This has alarmed some of Mr..
Richards most ardent supporters
During his term as county commits
sioner of Canyon county, he has
frequently been accused of lack of
frmness and spoken of as man
who has not the courage of his con
victions, and many men who were at
first in favor of his election to the
jndgcship, now, knowing of his con
nection rs Il member of half dozen
corporations, and seeing open and
mholy alliance with this scheme to
influence the election by money, see
that he is not the man to be elected
10 such an important position. The
men who are doing so are not putting
up Their money for nothing, and the
question naturally arises in the minds !

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The significance of these terms
and their origin Is the subject of some
interest and inquiry.
The custom to which the above
terms allude is in practice in Switzer-
land, and was first adopted in 1913,
at which time the first constitution
was promulgated This was again
revised in 1874. In order to place
before the people revision of the
constitution the two councils must
agree to such action, or so, 600 citi-
zens must ask for it, and then to be-
come a law the revision must be
adopted by majority of the voters
and majority of the cantons.
In many of the cantons the people
have tie right of vetoing every bill
passed by the grand council. The
theory advanced is that any citizen
can under certain circumstances
originate bill and before its final
adoption as law must be referred to
a vote of the people. In so vast a
country as ours the scheme is rs i'm
practicable us balloon route to the
moon, and is only worthy of thought
as illustrating how seemingly sensible
people can be led away by the rain
bow reasoning of fanatical politicians.

ton for the people to answer is,
shall they be controlled by these few
moneyed men at Boise City, and will
they vote for a man who is openly
with those men, or will they retain
Judge Nugent, who is honest and
true to his convictions, whose ability
and integrity even his bltterest

TOO MUCH MONEY.

The events of the past week clearly
demonstrate that few people have
more money than they can take care
OF, and Il few patriotic individuals
have assumed the responsibility of
distributing it, For instance, on the
18th down in California train was
held up and the express car relieved
of $50, 600 On the 18th, within a
few miles of Washington City,
Adams Express car was robbed CT
5000, 600 The 18th the express
Office at The Dales, Or, was opened
up to the tune of $15, 1000. This is
u fair showing for an infant industry
and only needs proper protection to
make it rank among the leading
industries of the country. The only
danger is over production Some
thing of similar nature in finance
occurred in Michigan town a few
days ago. Some parties opened a
national bank-the only capital re-
CURED was crow bar. Now for real
level headed financering the populists
are long way behind the times. In
all the above transactions no distinc-
ton was made between gold, silver
or paper money.
