Do the people of Custer coun

Secretary of State ? Yet, in
the face of all these facts, Gov

pulled off the ticket. Which
makes one pause to think wha
kind of a man is Gooding.
At the close of Lansdon's tern

Cooling POIl6y

In his speech at Burke, Idaho,
on Oct. 18th, Gooding said :
Quoting from the Wallace Tim
es:
If you do not want to see the
greater part of northern Idaho
in forest reserves, send a man to
the United States Senate who
will stand shoulder to shoulder
with Senator Hepburn"
Gooding, a year ago last sum
mer, assured Forester Pinchot
that he was with the Forest Re-
serve policy of the President
and every one heretofore assum-
ed that Borah was with il too.
When Gooding and Pinchot
reached an understanding in
June, 1904, by which Gooding
side stepped" Hepburn in his
fight on the Presidents Reserve
policy, the Boise Statesman de
clared that Gooding had swung
Idaho in line for the Forest Re
serve policy.
Now watch the Statesman ig
more the attack Gooding ant
Borah; their twin idols, are max
ing on their favored Forest Re
serve policy, as they have bent
and bowed and scuttled to the
priest ridden hierarchy which
they once wrote so viciously
about and swore under oatE
against.
Watch Gooding score the For
est Reserve policy of Roosevelt
where he thinks it will make hin
votes.
Watch Borah praise the Presi
dent in one locality, and con
denim his favored Forest Reserv,
policy in another.
The people of Idaho will turf
down these two slippery gentle
men because they cannot be de
pended on to keep their wore
with a constituency.

Fr6n6h.

served as Congressman from lua-
no for four years, and is again a
candidate for reelection.
His official record for these
four years is the passage of two
private pension bills, and an APP
preparation for federal build
ing at his home town of Moscow.
This is the net result of Mr..
French's services in the 58th and
59th congresses.
5STH CONGRESS.
Mr.. French was elected in 1902
and took his seat at the extra
Session, November, 1908. He
was appointed on three commit
tees; Education, War Claims
and immigration.
At the second session Mr..
French made II reports from
the committee on war claims;
made remarks on the repeal of
certain land laws, and on the
Fort Hall Indian reservation
lands; presented q petitions
from his constituents covering a
variety of subjects, and intro
duced % bills in all, 8 of a pub
lie, and the others of a private
character. OF the latter, only 2
became laws; a bill to pension
William Sheridan, and a bill to
pension Nelson Hart.
During the second session OF
the 58th congress the Cuban
Reprocity Treaty Bill" was pas
sed. This was framed entirely
in the interest of the Sugar
Trust, and contains a provision
that the duties on sugar shall
not be reduced to other nations
by reciprocity agreement. IL
other words, the price of sugar
shall never be reduced to con.
sumers of sugar in the United
States. On this legislation Mr..
French voted aye.
In the same session Mr.. French
where he did not dodge, always
voted against an investigation Of
the scandals in connection with
| the Post Office Department.
In the matter of subsidies tt
special interests, he has always
voted with the subsidy grafters
There was q bill to regulate
shipping between ports of the
United States and ports in the
Philippine Islands" and to ex
tend to this trade the American
coastwise laws, thereby giving
to the Pacific Mail Steamship
company an absolute monopoly
of the trade between this coun
try and the Philippines, will
power to charge what they
please for ocean freights, and i
is about as bad a subsidy al
could be devised. Our principa
import from the Philippines Il
hemp, from which binder twin,
is made, and as necessary re
suit of this subsidy and monopo
ly our farmers are paying high
err prices for their binding Irvine
French voted for this legis la
ton.
This bill was closely relate
; to another bill which was enact
ed during the same session, pre-
) .viding for the carriage of a.
! government freight by sea i
, American vessels. 1t was show
that this freight largely apple
!, to supplies for the Army an
Navy in the Philippines; that
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1906-10-30

veStlgate the American Merch-
ant Marine and to get evidence
in support of it. He voted
against an amendment providing
That no plan or policy shall be
presented or recommended which
involves the payment of subsid-
les or bounties from the treas
ury of the United States" The
commission thus created has
since reported in favor of a ship
subsidy bill which has already
passed the Senate and will come
come before the next session
which meets in December for
final passage. Will French vote
for this ship subsidy measure :?
Of course he will.
During the 58th congress a
bill passed the House guarantee
ing the government to pay five
per cent. annual interest for 30
years on all American money in
vested in the construction of
railroads in the Philippine Is
lands. Under the bill as it pass
ed the House, and as French
voted for it, the railroad build
ers were permitted to take all
their equipment and supplies
into the islands free of duty, ar d
also to import Chinese coolie
labor into the islands to con-
struct the roads. The bill was
somewhat amended in the Sen
ate and is now a law. The pass
age of this measure is another
illustration of the partality
which our present congressman
shows to the possessors of great
wealth. A similar measure
guaranteeing 30 years interest
on all railroads constructed in
the State of Idaho would soon
gridiron this State with much
needed railroads.
59TH CONGRESS.
In 1904 French was reelected
to the 59th congress, and was
appointed on the Public Lands
and immigration committees.
Thus far he has presented 16
bills of public and semi-public
nature; Al private pension, and
10 private relief bills. The rec
ord for the session is not yet
complete, but thus far none OF
his bills have passed, except his
bill for a public building in his
home town.
In addition to presenting petit,
tions and papers, and reports
from committees, French made
remarks on various subjects
such as the Philippine tariff
statehood, railroad rate and 9th
er bills.
AS a number of important
measures of the late session,
such as the Panama canal bill
the pure food bill, etc., were
passed without division, it i:
not possible to show how ht
voted on such. On the meat in
spection bill he voted to saddle
the government with the cost o
inspection.
Two pension bills, and a pub
lie building for his home tow
is the total result of his fou,
years service. There is a strons
suspicion that his public build
ing was given to him to ensur,
his election in the pending cam
, paign.
He has always voted agains
labor and in favor of the t1nstS
