Some Rotten Legislative

Vote, Representation and

POLITICAL FORECAST

! BOISE, April II. Democratic
| leaders do not now attempt tC
| defend the iniquitous legislative
apportionment of the last fusion
legislature. The only argument
they put forth when accused OF
unjust use o. power is that every
thing is fair i'll love, war and poll
tics. They attempt to pass it off
with laugh. Realizing there is
little chance of their electing their
state ticket this year, they try to
bolster up their courage and fortify
their weakened hopes by declaim-
ing loudly on the dead certainty
OF electing the legislature. Correct
ly interpreted, their position is
this: 1--WE feel we will lose the
state administration, but, by job
berry, we have fixed it so we will be
able to control legislation and thus
hamper the republican party, whose
representatives will fill the Offices
Of the state" In word, the entire
democratic hope is based on the
contemplate apportionment put
through the last legislature by
exercise of power granted by the
people, to be applied to the benefit
of the whole people, but which was
prostituted to advance the inter
ests of few democatic politicians
and the result Of which will be to
deny the people of this state in
various counties the representation |
they are entitled to. This is a !
sweeping charge, but it is suscepti-
BILE of the fullest proof. The sub
joined table gives the population of
each county at the time the re-
apportionment bill was passed.

.ionment law, (the senatorial repre-
being che same as it was)

On the Land Wanted By
Hollister.
AT S52.5o PER ACRE
Which fleets the Approval of the
People of Lincoln Blaine and
Cassia Counties.

The appraisers, Thomas Fay, P
NJ. Niles and H. A. Secor, met Mon
day. These appraisers were ap-
pointed by the District Court to ex
anime and place value OH the
State school land at Shoshone Falls
that is sought by II. l.. Hollister
upon which to erect a power plant.
The appraisers asked all interest
ed or any citizen of the state to
appear before them with any state
ment they had to make. But one
or two witnesses appeared and the
appraisers placed value on the
land of $3.50 per acre. This is
the second time an appraisement
has been made on this land. The
first appraisment set value of 800
per acre. Those who made the
first appraisement as well as those
who made the second appraisement,
are all old residents of Lincoln and
Cassia counties and know well the
value of the land. They are men
whose intelligence and veracily is
unquestioned and who would under
no circumstances he parties to Grip
pie the school fund of our state, but
rather would sacrifice personal in
interests for its benefit. Much has
been said by some state papers try
ing to make political capital out of
the Hollister power plant, but ali
efforts alo lg this line have fallen
flat, an | 1t has turned out that the
whole row has been that some other
parties had an ak to grind. On one
side it looks as If Doodle would !
have been satisfactory; on the other
side comes parties who claim the /
whole Shoshone Falls, the bed Of the |
river and all the islands therein,
and that the state does not own
any ground immediately at the
Fails. There are crooked lines run
by surveyors and peculiar titles
gained on land at the Falls, all OF
which will no doubt be shown up
to the public in due time. 1t is to
be regretted, however, that the in
terests OF the people of three count
les and in fact of the whole state,
are to be sacrificed because certain
men with big bank roll claim to
own the land at the Falls, and
which they no doubt intend to hold
by virtue of the aforesaid bank roll.
The state and its people are of no
to the fellows with the big :
Tad of 1.-The long green", but the S
courts may give the people show +
in spite of the Doodle. 1t is a I
fact, potent to any man of
he state, that the land around
,hoshone Falls is absolutely worth r
ess for any purpose except power h
,lant. Those who have owned or b
lain to have owned, the land at q
be Falls for the past many years,
