Merely a Tool.

"A local paper expresses the opinion that Mr.. La
roulette would carry the Idaho Republican conven-
ton the party could rid itself of the influence of
the politicians and give the voters chance.
But the voters will not be given a chance The
dS1ranchsed balance of power will control more
positively in the Republican convention to elect dele
gates to the coming National convention than ever
before
Mr. LaFollette voted against the seating of Sena-
tor Smoot and the Mormon control of the Republi
can party of Idaho will not submit to an exhibition
OF favor for him and the balance of the machine
will yield to its dictator
Although Mr.. Taft is the enemy of the progress
OF the beet sugar States and the Mormon church
is heavily interested pecuniary in the manufacture
OF beet sugar, the church will turn its votes to ifs
enemy, Mr.. Taft, and will sustain him in spite of
the strong LaFollette sentiment among the nom
Mormon Republicans of the State.
1t will do this by order of President Roosevelt
who is IN position to command having assisted
Mr. Smoot The Republican party is not partv in
Idaho. 1t is a tool of the hierarchy at Salt Lake

if it survives and in order to maintain political con-
troll, it must direct legislation.
The Republican machine of today, wherever 1T is
found is an alliance with corporations or with
so-caled church, or both, and the corporations and
the so-caed church ask for protection against leg
islation and that is the price of their feay. That
much granted and they are willing to strengthen the
hands of the machine and in the future
So the corporations and the church opposed to
primary election laws and initiative and referendum
laws One would assist in establishing the other
and both are opposed as a of protection to
the corporations and the church, so-called.
The Nampa (Idaho) Leader is of the news
papers of the machine that opposes the initiative and
referendum, without exactly knowing why, for it
is not very we'll posted the subject 1t says, speak
ing of the initiative and referendum
theoretically this seems all right but far as the
Leader knows, IN practice 1t has been dead letter
Years ago South Dakota enacted such a law, which
is still on the statute books, but few people know
it. In the language of Grover Cleveland it is IN
state of innocuous desuetudo
few of the States, very few, have enacted initia-
tive and referendum laws and South Dakota is one
of the few. In South Dakota, contrary to the mis-
information furnished by the Nampa paper, the law
is in active force. 1t has given the State primary
election law and it has enabled the State to over
throw the worst corporation machine that
cursed a commonwealth
Since its last legislative session, divorce law,
quail protection law and Sunday theatre closing
law have been submitted to a vote of the people,
under the referendum feature of the law and will
be voted upon next November and the Legislature
will either be sustained vetoed by the people.
In municipal affairs in South Dakota the refer
endum is often employed to compel overthrow
action by city councils. 1t is found to be very sat-
isfacory and the people would dispense with it in
this of the few States that have entered upon the
experiment
There is nowhere instance of opposition to the
initiative and referendum the primary election
system that it is not fostered and encouraged by po
litical machines anxious to keep the people as far
away from government as possible.
The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1908-01-25
The Rule of the People.

There is not Republican machine -ridden State
in the Union that does not oppose through its ma
chine, the adoption enforcement of primary cleo
ton laws and initiative and referendum laws, and
the reason is plain enough
Primary election laws place political control in
the hands of the party at large and initiative and
referendum laws place legislation in the hands of
the people The machine must have political control
