odd thousand dollars the county
owed when they took office two
years ago the present admins
tration now owes outstanding
warrants to the amount of $10,-
1873. Sc for the year 1905 and also
owes the state taxes to the
amount of 81, ,081. II for the same
year. Just how much more the
county will be in debt at the end
of the year can be better deter
mined after the January meeting
of the board.
AS a result Of the clamoring of
the republican press and politi-
clans for an investigation of the
county books the commissioners
hired an expert to go over the
books and as a result of his work
it was found the books during
the eight years of democratic
rule were almost perfect; only
small clerical errors being found
and none amounting to more
than few dollars each.
This expert cost the county
nearly $500, a needless expense
which the taxpayers have to
bear.
Another act of this board has
been to allow bills aggregating
So, 132.01 for board and lodging
of county officials while in the
discharge of their duties away
from the county seat. The state
law allows expenses but the at
torney general handed down an
opinion that board and lodging of
officials was not a proper county
charge, and during the eight
years of democratic rule NOT
ONE CENT of county money
was paid out for board and lodg-
ing of county officers. Yet in
less than two years the republi-
cans have spent So, 1872 .O1, saying
nothing of what the commission
ers have collected on the same
account for board and lodging
while performing their official
duties.
These are facts which cannot
be refuted and we would like to
ask the Taxpayers which record
they would prefer to have con-
tinued. 1t is in their hands to
say.

superintendent. Having been
a teacher in the best of schools
for many years he knows ex-
actly what the schools of this
county need and if elected will
see that they get all the ad-
vantages he can possibly secure
for them. Although rather a
small man Mr.. Greenough is an
athlete of no mean repute and is
much more able physically to
make the rough trips over this
big county to visit the schools
during the bad seasons of the

A vote for him will be vote for

neglected because they may be
located far back in the mountains

Democratic versus
Republican RUIe
EIGHT YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION COM
PARED WITH TWO YEARS OF REPUBLICAN (MIS)
RULE WHICH DO YOU PREFER

We would Iike to ask the vot-
ers of Idaho county if they know
of any reasons why the present
board of county commissioners
should be returned to Office this
fall. We know several reasons
why they should not be re-elect-
ed and will quote a little IAN.
cient history" to prove our as.
sertion.
When the democratic party
went into power in this county
ten years ago the county had a
burden of warrant indebtedness
of some $74, 900 and the tax levy
was $4. rs on the $100 of tax val
uation. During the eight years
the democrats were in power
they reduced the county indebt-
edness to about $4,000 and at
the same time reduced the tax
levy to So on the $100 and also
added 20 per cent more of the
tax money to the school fund
than had been appropriated to
that fund by their republican
predecessors under the high rate.
Thus, in eight years time, and
up to two years ago, the demo
cratic county officials reduced the
county Indebtedness practically
$54, 900, or Sc, $50 per year, and
reduced the tax levy $1.75 on
the $1OO, or nearly % cents on
the $100 each year they held Of
flee.
When the republicans took Of
flee two years ago they found an
outstanding warrant indebted
ness of about $4,000. There is
a state law which requires the
board of county commissioners of
each county to levy a tax to take
up all outstanding warrants
when such Indebtedness fails un-
der one per cent of the assessed
valuation of the county, but our
present county board either over
looked or ignored this law and
left this debt stand as it was
when they took office. They
then reduced the tax levy from
So to $2.75 on the $100 but raised
the property valuation so that as
much or more taxes were paid as
were paid before under the So
levy. Then besides the twenty

On the statehood bill, before
the Foraker amendment was
applied, Mr.. French voted Nay.
On the resolution providing for
the purchase of all materials for
the Panama canal in this
country exclusively, Mr.. French
voted, Yea.
I have carefully compiled tn e
foregoing from the Congress
sional Record" a government
publication which daily reports
the proceedings of congress,
and can give all the details
connected with this synopsis of
the official record of our
congressman.
Mr.. French has closely fol
lowed during his congressional
career the lead of his party in
voting for all measures favorable
to organized and predatory
wealth, and opposing those in
the interests of the public well
fare generally.
Two private pension bills, and
a public building for his home
town is the total result of his
four years service. There is a
strong suspicion that his public
building was given to him to in
sure his reelection in the pend
ing campaign.
The Congressional Record does
not show that Mr.. French raised
his voice to secure an appropria-
tion for an open river from
Lewiston to the sea; nor for the
appropriations for the survey
of the public lands in this state;
nor for the advancement of the
material interests of his constitu-
ents in our growing state.
AS a genaral proposition it is a
matter of Indifference to the
people of Idaho whether they
are presented by a republican OF
a democrat. But it is matter of
great interest that we have a
representative who shall faith
fully work for the interests OF
his people and his state.
Respectfully,
A. F. PARKER.

Hon. Charles O. Stockslager,
the democratic nominee for gov
ernor is of Indiana lineage, and
comes of the good old Dutch
stock. AS a boy he learned de-
mocracy from Danial w.
Voorhees,, Thomas A. Hendricks
and David Turpie. Judge Stock
slayer has resided in Idaho since
1887. In the first state election
his party nominated him for
district judge, and he was tri-
umphantly elected. Twice there
after he was elected to the same
honorable position, and the re-
publicans on both occasions re-
fused to nominate a candidate
against him. His ability and
integrity was thus recognized by
his political opponents, just as
the democrats of the second
judicial district recognize and
concede the fitness of Judge
Steele. In 1900 he was nominate
ed and elected for justice of the
supreme court Of the state, and
his own judicial district gave him
"a record-breaking majority.
For six years he has been a
member of the supreme court of
the state of Idaho and during his
career he has never been touched
by the breath of slander or
accused of an improper motive.
Judge Stockslager is not
pretty man in personal appear
ance. He is big and broad and
tall, and blind in one eye. Some
20 years ago, while hunting on
Wood river, with Senator Thurs
ton OF Nebraska, one OF his eyes
was shot out by an accident.
Judge Stockslager is very
popular in the southern counties,
and he will come north with a
very large majority. The people
of Idaho county will make no
mistake casting their ballots for
this esteemed citizen.

1906.
To The Public.
Hon. Burton L. French has
served as congressman from
Idaho 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 ap-
preparation for a 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.
58th Congress.
Mr.. French was elected in 1902
and took his seat at the extra
session, November 1903. He
was appointed on 3 committees:
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 27 petitions
from his constituents covering a
variety Of subjects, and introduc-
ed % bills in all, 8 of a public,
and the others of a private
character. Of the latter, only 2
became laws; bill to pension
William Sheridan, and bill to
pension Nelson Hart.
During the second session of
the 58th congress the Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty Bill" was
passed. This was framed entire
ly 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. In
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 investi-
cation of the scandals connected
with the Post Office department.
In the matter of subsidies to
special interests, Mr.. French has
always voted with the subsidy
grafters. There was a bill to
regulate shipping between
Ports of the United States and
Ports in the Philippine Islands, "
and to extend to this trade the
Amerisan Coastwise laws, there
by giving to the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company an absolute
monopoly of the trade between
this country and the Philippines,
with power to charge what they
please for ocean freights, and is
about as bad a subsidy as could
be devised. Our principal i'm
port from the Philippines is
hemp, from which binder twine is
made, and as a necessary result
of this subsidy and monopoly
our farmers are paying higher
prices for their binding twine.
Mr.. French voted for this
legislation.
This bill was closely related to
another bill which was enacted
during the same session, provid-
ing for the carriage of govern
ment freight by sea in American
vessels. 1t was shown that this
freigh largely applied to supplies
for the Army and Navy in the
Philippines; that it would largely
increase the government ex-
penditures and result in great
inconvenience to the Army and
Navy departments, both of
which vigorously protested

What MIR. French
Has Accomplished
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD SHOWS HOW MUCH "VALU-
ABLE WORK. HE HAS DONE FOR STATE
DURING TWO TERMS IN CONGRESS.

|
Mr.. French shut his eyes to the
facts and voted for the passage
of the bill.
Another subsidy measure for
which Mr.. French voted was the
creation of a commission to in
vestigate the American Merchant
Marine and providing ''That no
plan or policy shall be presented
or recommended which involves
the payment of subsidies or
bounties from the treasury of
the United States" The COM
mission thus created has since
reported in favor of a ship sub
sidy bill which has already pass
ed the senate and will come be-
fore the next session which
meets in December for final
passage. Will Mr.. French vote
for this ship subsidy measure.
Of course he will.
During the 58th congress a bill
passed the house guaranteeing
the government to pay five per
cent annual interest for 80 years
on all American money invested
in the construction Of railroads
in the Philippine Islands. Under
the bill as it passed the house,
and as Mr.. French voted for it,
the railroad builders were per-
mitted to take all their equip
ment and supplies into the is
lands, free of duty, and also to
import Chinese coolie labor into
the islands to construct the roads.
The bill was sonwhat amended
in the senate and is now a law.
The passage of this measure is
another illustration of the parti-
ality which our present congress-
man shows to the possessors of
great wealth. A similar
measure guaranteeing 80 years
interest on all railroads construct
ed in the state of Idaho would
soon gridiron this state with
much needed railroads.
5Oth Congress.
In 1904 Mr.. French was re-
elected to the 59th congress, and
was appointed on the Public
Lands and immigration COM
mittees.
Thus far he has presented 18
bills of a public and semi-public
nature; IA private pensions, and
10 private relief bills. The re-
cord 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, Mr.. French
made remarks on various sub
jects, such as the Philippine
tariff, statehood, railroad rate
and other bills.
AS a number of important
measures of the last session,
such as the free alcohol bill,
consular reform bill, the natur =
alization bill, the Panama canal
bill, the pure food bill, the final
passage of the railroad rate bill,
the statehood bill (after it was
properly amended, and the meat
inspection bill, were passed with
out a division, it is not possible
to show how Mr.. French voted
on such. On the meat inspec-
ton bill Mr.. French voted to
saddle the government with the
cost of inspection, instead of up
on the packers.
The ship subsidy bill has pass
ed the senate and is now on the
house calendar for final passage
during the short session which
meets in December. How will
Mr.. French vote on this subsidy? +?

couple days the fore part of the

meeting here Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Overman is a candidate on the
democratic ticket for reelection as
auditor and recorder and is pratic-
ally certain of victory. He has
held that Office for the past four
years and has made one of the best
officials the county has ever had
and by his courteous ways has
given universal satisfaction to
republicans and democrats alike.
He should be returned to office this
fall by huge majority.
Major Geo. A Williams of
Haley, Idaho, who spoke here
Wednesday evening at the Odd
Fellow hall, is one of the best
speakers that appeared here yet
this year. He spoke on state
issues only and showed Gooding,
French and Borah up to good
shape, producing evidence to
show that the denials made by
those gentlemen of various
charges were without foundation
and only for political effect. Mr..
Williams made an interesting
speech and held his audience for
about an hour and a half. The
fact that he is not professional
politician and has never held
office had considerable weight
with those who heard him.
