of the sugar trust operating in Idaho,
and the church will get the benefit of
this bounty.
Apostle John Henry Smith we'll
knew this when he engineered this
bill through the Legislature two years
ago.
When the plant at Idaho Falls was
dedicated, President Smith and others
of his retinue dignified the affair
with their presence, and ever since
have eagerly waited for their share of
the spoil wrung by Mormon legisla-
ture from the Jthers tax payers of Ida
no. The only reason it has not been
paid, is that State Auditor Turner
has stood like a stone wall between
the state treasury and its looters.
Him they turned down for re-nomina-
tion and it is now understood that
Kelly, the man who was clerk of the
penitentiary, is under ban for GER
tain speculations in office, has been
slated for deputy auditor so as to
avoid all future troubles in that
line, and make the way clear for the
big graft
What is to prevent the payment of
this bounty in case Cooling is elect
ed? Nothing. Gooding himself is
simply as nominee of the republi-
can party the creature of the Mormon
hierarchy and of course will do its
bidding. The law is passed and
signed. 1t is just as much law as
any other on the statute book.
Do the people of Idaho want to
give the Mormon church $3.50, 600. 90
to aid it in its nefarious work?
If so, let them vote for the republi-
can candidates.
If the sugar beet men are entitled
to bounty for raising sugar beets,
why is not the wheat farmer entitled
to bounty for raising wheat, the
fruit man for raising fruit, and the
miner for delving into the mines?
Where is this sort of thing going to
stopf End it all by voting the dem
ocratic ticket and turning down the
sugar bounty graft and the state
treasury graft.
Make killing while you are at it,
and put the grafters clean out of bus
mess.

AN INFAMOUS GRAFT.

Probably the worst indecent of the
Mormon hierarchy, apart from its
polygamous feature, is the infamous
graft it perpetrated on the people OF
Idaho in the matter of the detested
sugar bounty bill passed by the slim
perry Seventh two years ago and en-
gineered by John Henry Smith, the
polygamous apostle from Utah.
Through Mormon influences in the
Legislature of 1901, sugar bounty
bill was passed, but it was promptly
vetoed by Governor Hunt.
Two years ago, the legislature being
overwhelmingly republican and abso-
lutely dominated by the Mormon
church, another sugar bounty bill
was passed by which bounty of one
cent pound was offered for sugar
manufactured from sugar beets in
idaho Tor 1908, and one-half cent
per pound for 1904.
This little luxury will cost the
people of Idaho $3.50, o0O.0 and
every dollar of it will go to swell the
Golfers Of the Mormon church, with
rhe exception of what little is given
to the biacISfoot plant, which is indie.
pendent.
The bounty for 1908 is $40. 900. 90
and that for 1904 will be $3.50,
900, 90.

might catch few votes-after cleo
ton these papers will forget the inn
portance of this factor in our interior
development. Mr.. Gooding could
not have conceived a greater offense
against the intelligence of interested
Idaho citizens than to assume that
votes could be secured by the mere
horse play of declaring his intention
of working for north and south rail-
road if elected. Even the people liv-
ing directly on the route such road
would have to take express disgust at
being approached with such an argu-
ment. Such road will only be con-
structed as business proposition and
when it is evident the enterprise will
pay-which it will. And when capt.
tai is convinced that it will pay, and
requisite funds can be secured, the
road will be constructed, regardless
of the personal political ambitions of
any man. The people of northern
Washington and Idaho counties are
not yet throuhg expressing their dis
approval of Mr.. Gooding's act of be-
lifting their intelligence in making,
on his trip northward via Meadows
and Salmon river points, utterly fool
ishspromises in relation to railroad
which they knew he did not have in
his pocket.

There was time in Idaho when
both parties honeyed after the heads
of the Mormon church for political
assistance. RThe democratic organi-
cation of this state has come out
boldly in defiance of this power-al-
though certain element within the
party is bitterly opposed to antago-
nizing the priesthood. A minority of
the republican party desires to cut
the cords which bind the party to the
church, but their wishes have been
over ridden by the lust for the Nor
mon vote. If these two elements
would combine they could lash the
Mormon church out of politics.

Chairman Jackson is in close touch
with every precinct in the state and
is very much pleased with the out
look for democratic success. He is
proving himself fine organizer, and
an alert, keen and forceful leader.
He repors that the people are coming
over to the support of the democratic
ticket very fast. "What is needed, !"
he says, ''is persistent activity, work
and faith along the line till the polls
are closed on the eighth of November.
The storm raised in Republican
circles all over the state at the dis
closure of the deal of the republican
leaders in Idaho that Parkinson, the
polygamous Mormon from Oneida
county, was slated for immigration
commissioner in case of Cooling 8
election, has had the effetct of so
soaring the republicans that they have
had Gooding- give out that he has not
promised to appoint Parkinson, and
that it is said by those who know,
that Parkinson has resigned his claim
as granted by the Moscow Gooding
deal. Still. the Mormons have been
given to understand that they are to
have the immigration commissioner
in the person of some other just as
efficient to the interests of the Nor
mon church as Parkinson is. Kelly,
the man now underNa ban on account
of his speculations with penitentiary
funds, it is understood, has been
slated for deputy auditor. Kelly was
we'll known Mormon, and was made
clerk at the penitentiary at the bid
ding of Attorney General Bagley.
The Mormons have given it out cold
that they are not supporting the re-
publican ticket this year for fun.
They want the promised goods, and
if Gooding is elected his hands will
be SO tied that he cannot, without
breaking the pledged faith of his
leaders, do other than appoint these
Mormons to prominent positions in
his cabinet. The Idaho.

permit the nomination In convention

oblivious to all that was going on,

fight. Do the people of the church
want that uaan to go to Boise CITY

OF course he is no more to be blamed
for getting drunk than any other man,
II we do not take into consideration
the position he holds and to what ex-
tent his conduct will effect the
church. 1t is not him alone who will
have to bear the stigma of such an
affair, but the organization he repre-.

spoken of very highly, and his weak
ness is one that ELECTS sympathy
rather than condemnation, and his
acts are condoned by those who know
him, and also know Of the many good
qualities he possesses. But when he
goes out among strangers as a Nor

THE MUTUAL WANTS HIM, BAD.

THE MUTUAL WANTS HIM, BAD.
Just why L. W. Smith, of Boise,
"a very worthy citizen of the state as
far as personal qualities go) came to
Washington county this year and
asked the county to elect him sena-
tor, has never been very clear until
we'll known republican, whose name,
as matter of delicacy, is omitted, OF
this county handed us the following
letter, which throws some light on the
inter:
Office of Idaho Mutual Cooperative
Insurance Company.
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 8, 1904.
Mr.. ---- Dear Sir: l notice
by the paper that Hon. L. w. Smith
of your county has announced himself
as candidate for the nomination on
the republican ticket to the office of
state senator. 1t is not the plan of
our company to in anywise dictate or
meddle in politics but l would like
to call your attention to few facts
in relation to Mr.. Smiths candidacy.
To begin with will say that Mr..
Smith supported House Bill No. 78
in the House of Representatives last
term, which permitted the organiza-
tion of our Company, and since then
he has taken an agency and has very
ably represented us in Washington
County. We anticipate that the old
line or stock companies will endeavor
to present measures in the coming
legislature with view to hampering
the IDAHO MUTUAL in the inter
ests of themselves, and it is our de-
sire to have as many friends in the
next legislature as possible. This,
of course, is of interest to you, being
member of the company, and you
no doubt appreciate full we'll that
the efforts of the IDAHO MUTUAL
are materially reducing rates and
thereby saving the people money that
would otherwise go into the hands of
foreign corporations.
Therefore if it is in keeping with
your views and you can see your way
clear to support Mr.. Smith, or some
other man known to be friendly with
the Company, for the nomination to
the office of state senator on the Re-
publican ticket, it would be to your
mutual interests, and trust that you
will bear in mind that 1 am writing
to you not to support the interests
OF Mr.. Smith, or any other person in
particular, but rather to support the
interests of the Company, and any
other whom we feel that we are as Sc
cure in as we are with Mr.. Smith is
certainly entitled to receive our sup
port.
Trusting that we may be as fortu.
nate in securing friends in the
Eighth Session as we were in the Sew
enth, l am, Mutually yours,
Die. W. R. H. W. R. HYATT.
So that is the milk in the cocoa
nutf The I daho Mutua, wants
friends in the legislature. Very
good reason, indeed, why the Mutual
ghould seek to have Mr.. Smih nomi
nated-and for the same good reasons
that Washington county wants a

ance company, the voters should
stand by Hon. T. @. Galloway.
who, in tweny years of residence,
has never fatered where general pub
lie interests was concerned.
If Tom Galloway is elected senator
he will not take up permanent resi-
dence at Boise and come back after
two years and ask for another office

danger of losing him as a resident.
