majority of them workmen from the
neighboring steel mills. The address
of Governor Hughes contained an en-
thusiastic declaration of his support
Of Mr.. Tafts candidacy, a recital Of
the achievements of the Republican
party, an Endorsement of President
Roosevelt and the accomplishments Of
his administration, and an examina-
ton of some of the policies advocated
by Mr.. Bryan OF Mr.. Taft he said:
mo one more than l desires to see
administration purged of every selfish
faint. to have fair and impartial laws
faithfully executed, to get rid of every
vestige of special privilege at the ex-
pense Of public interest, to liberate
trade from unjust encroachments, to
purify our ELECTORAL methods and to
maintain honest representative gov
eminent. And it is because Of his
loyalty to these ideals, because of his
broad sympathies and his rare equip
ment in character, ability, and exper-
fence, because tested in the difficult
fields of judicial and administrative
work he has proved his quality by
eminent service, because of his varied
learning, his acquaintance with af-
fairs, his respect for constitutional
government, and his capacity intelli-
gently and justly to plan and direct
necessary reforms, that l most earn
estly support the candidacy of Will
liam Howard Taft"
He recounted briefly the history OF
Republican administration since the
defeat of Cleveland Democracy, and
paid this tribute to President Roose-
welt:
For seven years with lofty aim
and unconquerable spirit he has la
bored for the people, and today, by
virtue of his sincere devotion to their
welfare, his valiant attack upon evil
in high places, his zeal for the com.
mon interests, whether in the protec-
ton of the public domain, or in insist
ence upon the freedom of interstate
trade, or in the maintenance of high
standards Of administration, or in the
recognition of the rights of labor, or
in the care of our national resources,
the forceful and representative leader
is typified to the popular Imagination
in the person of Theodore Roosevelt"

THE TAXPAYERS WANT BONDS
Continued From Page ~

within the past three years is a con-
slant source of wonder to all the WISH
tors with whom l have talked; they
all remark about the wonderful de-
velopment of the farms, the progress
sive spirit displayed by our citizens
and predict very bright future for
our county.
Personally I believe within ten
years we will have the richest and
best county in the state.
Taking into consideration the fact
that our records might be destroyed
by fire at any time, the very slight in
crease in taxes, and the immense sat
isfaction which we would all derive
from the possession of a modern cOun-
ty building, | feel confident that a
very great majority of the taxpayers
of the county will agree with me in
the opinion that we cannot afford to
delay the matter, and will so express
themselves at the polls on October
5th, next.
Let us all continue to boost and an
additional tax of &c per acre on our
land will be very much more than
counterbalanced by the enhanced
value of our property
Yours truly,

Having been asked to give my opin-
ion of the court house bond issue
will state that l am heartily in favor
OF the bonds carrying. The necessity
for protection of the records is a real
one and to any property owner is only
too apparent A fire would destroy all
titles to over three million dollars
worth of property and make it impos-
sible for any business man to give
safely deed to any property so filed.
The question of taxes is to my mind
small one, although l am a heavy
taxpayer The increase in taxes which
were so terrifying to the taxpayers in
this school district have already been
offset by the increase in property val
uation of the entire land in this school
district, until there is really no in
crease in the tax rate The same would
be true for every inch of land on the
tract If the courthouse is erected. The
small sum necessary to pay interest
on the bonds does not compare in the
slightest degree with the loss that
might be caused through a fire in the
present quarters. Twin Falls county
has grown beyond the dream of the
most sanguine booster, and what two
years ago would have seemed prepos-
ferrous can now be view as a neces-
sity.

To the Editor of The Times.
We consider it not only expedient,
but necessity that the county build a
court house at this time.
The business of the county demands
it.
There is no disputing the fact that
the records are unsafe in their pres
ent location, and as a matter of pro-
lection against loss It is necessity
The good business man would not hes
itate in thus protecting himself were it
a matter Of his own private business,
or property, and while this matter
perhaps does not concern one individ-
ual resident of the county more than
another, still it concerns us all and
each one should see to 1t that the
county records are safe, and thereby
protect himself
The cost to each individual will not
be noticeable. 1t is our Judgment that
no property owner in the county could
do anything that would increase the
value of his property as much for
double the amount that this will cost
him, as will the constructruction at
this time of good court house.

grounds and buildings. If the county
waits two more years before acquiring
land about this city it will be so high
that the association could not afford
to buy But on the other hand the cit
liens of the tract and this city have
an excellent offer of forty acres just
across the viaduct at SITS per acre
which would give ample room for a
track and fair grounds. This same
land will in two years advance in
value so that it will be impossible for
fair association to purchase at 1915.
The same is true of land in any di-
rection from the city. 1t would seem
that now is the proper time to get the
land even if no buildings could be
erected for several years.

Some of the finest exhibits Of fruit
ever seen on the tract are being dis
played in the windows of the various
real estate Offices about town. The dis
plays only emphasize the need for a
fair every year in order that the tract
may be properly advertised. Twin
Falls has the products to make any
prospective settler sit up and take no
tice and these products should be
shown to the very best advantage
every year A permanent fair associa-
ton will sooner or later be organized

OBSTINATE BLIND PIG.
Hall scorns Injunction and Stocks up
 With Liquor' for Fourth.

Robert Hall and wife, persistent violators of the liquor law in Imperial county, have fallen into more trouble. Their place at Imperial has been raid ed and quantities of whiskey have been captured by special officers, who have been working up cases against them for several weeks
 Some time ago the City of Imperial secured from the Superior Court an injunction restraining Robert Hall from selling intoxicating liquors on the premises wherein he had been engag- ed in this business. Now Hall will not only have to answer to the City of Inn perial for violations of it's municipal laws, but he will have to appear be- fore the Superior Court to answer to the charge of contempt,
 It is reasonably certain that Hall is in for stiffViail sentence. Fines seem not to have inspired him with respect for the law. Imperial is anticipating a large crowd in attendance at it's Fourth of July celebration Hall, it is said, has been stocking up with the expectation of doing a rushing busi- ness at that time.
 The Halls have a bright young boy and because of their persistent viola ton of law it is possible an attempt will be made to remove him from their influence.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

The republican state committee has
fixed the date and place of the state
convention for the nomination of state
officers as Wednesday, July l, at Mont
Del1er. The event is, therefore, just
TWO months away. and now that the
delegates to the republican national
convention have been selected with
nothing more to be done on the score
of national politics until those dele
gates shall act their part at Chicago,
it is proper to turn to consideration
of the merits Of the respective candi-
dacies for the leading state office.
This is an least side" year, as Gus
tom has it, with the candidate to be
chosen geographically east Of the
mountains, and the candidate for the
lieutenant governorship chosen west of
the dividing line. For the former
Office two candidates answer the geo.
graphical requirement. They are the
Hon. Geo. H. Prouty of Newport, the
present lieutenant governor, and the
Hon. Zed S. Stanton of Roxbury, ar
ex-lieutenant governor. Both those
men have creditable records in the
office they have filled and both have
publicly announced their views upon
various important questions of state
uolicy. AS regards number of these
questions, Mr.. Prouty and Mr.. Stanton,

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Why Change?

Col. Haskins is serving his fourth
term in Congress. He began, as all
new members must begin, with hum
BILE position in the house and with little
opportunity to be heard In debate.
By reason of his adaptedness to legis-
lation and his untiring industry he has
come to the front in that multitudinous
and tempestuois body. Few men
from Vermont have ever risen more
steadily and securely in the house than
he has. His position on committees, his
influence on the floor in directing leg
lslation, and his readiness in debate
are established facts. Prominent Yer
monters residing in Washington all bear
witness to his high standing in the
house. That he has attended faith
fully to the wants of his constituency
is common knowledge.
1t is platitude to say that Col.
| Haskins is an honor to the district and
the state, and voters have to look in
vain to find a reason for change in
the membership from this district.
Why not allow him at least to round
out ten years of public service and
thus give his constituency the benefit
of the experience which he has acquired
and of the usefulness of which he
has proved his capability? There is
no adequate reason for a change in
favor of any man who has been men
toned.
It may be sufficient reason for an as
pirant that he wants the place and
has wanted it long time, but it is a
poor reason for the constituency to
give or to accede to. No man who
proposes to compete with Mr.. Haskins
is his superior in natural ability or il
education. Conceding any new mans
qualifications, he would lack expert
ence and must toll slowly up to the 20
sition and the vantage ground Of use
fulness to which Col. Haskins has at
tanned. The district has nothing t,
gain by change.
If we were to put the membership
in Congress from this district on
purely selfish basis there is every rea
son why Col. Haskins should be re
tanned. He has gained his standing il
the house, he has made his acquain
lance in all the departments, he is il
good standing with all the men in off
: cial positions, hesknows to whom to g
: for any Of the favors or services Whic
, any Of his constituents may ask or re
quire, he knows the ropes, in short
and is in touch with all the machiner
: of government at Washington and can
: therefore, render greater personal ser
vice than any new man. however abb
or we'll disposed, could hope to do flo
years to come.-Brattleboro Phoenix
