Mrs. Gagon, the president OF the

fair visitors. Should any one be
overlooked in the matter who may

phone Mrs. Gagon. The visitors are
willing to pay reasonable prices for
rooms. The idea is to have list
that they may be directed to them.

a point in be:" pn.s;:cni progress
where they .vi..so to delegate the
right to PASS upon the liquor question
to council or foard of county com
missioners.
American Falls is not the only
place in IDAHO where the rights of a
majority of the people are to be ig-
nored. Ths.- is little place In
Ada count. ;lst seventeen miles
down the yi;.ey from the capital CT
ty, called Star. This town Is not
incorporated. From the language of
your editorial, this place would
seem to have the very thing that Is
being so vigorously contended for
(local option
Let us see who has the right to. say
whether or not liquors shall be sold
In unincorporated communities, The
people? Hardly The board of coun-
ty commissioners, by virtue of law
passed at the last session of the Leg
y
islature, has this right. This board
Is composed of three members, none
of whom resides at Star.
Some months ago an application
was presented to the board of com
missioners praying for a license to
sell liquors at that place. The peo-
pie of that community circulated
petition addressed to the board Of
commissioners urging them 70 refuse
to grant a license the arn''cant.
The petition refer to was signed
by a few hundred people. Under this
law the option is given, not to the
people of Star. but to three men who
compose the board Of county COM
to say whether or not IL
quors shall be sold in that town. The
board refused to grant the license.
But the law does not say how long
this refusal is good for; consequently
he vigilant saloon man may renew
MS application every three months,
u oftener If he chooses to do SO,
Ind Just as often the people Of that
community must demonstrate against
he issuance of license with no as
that their remonstrance will
,e needed.
It is said although hope that the
eport is untrue, that one member Of
he board Of county commissioners
Who voted against the granting OF a
license some time ago, proposes to
'ote for the issuance Of license for
he sale of intoxicating liquors when
pplication shall be made. Himself
nd one other constitute majority
4 the board.
There are fully 500 people in the

TO think have the option of SAYING
Yes or no upon this question ss
lar as II affects their own community
They have expressed their option, no.
by ballot. bur by petition, to three
men, and II the report is true, two
Of the three men will say to the SOC
people OF that community:
What care we about your wish
es? The law says that we, and not
you, have the right to say what is
best for your community. We will
permit a saloon or saloons to be run
down there contrary to your will"
Is this plan of dealing with any
question democratic in principle? lis
It republican in principle? Is it Am
erican in principle?
Then is 1t any wonder that the man
hood and the womanhood of this
state refuse any longer to depend up-
on two or three men in their com
munity to act for them in this mat
ter? They want what they are enti-
tied to, and that is: The right to pass
directly upon this question.
In the case of the village of Star,
someone will say: "Oh, well, elect a
board Of county commissioners ard
town councils that you can depend
upon to carry out your wishes"
That is the argument of most peo-
pie who oppose local option. They
insist that the will of the people must
ind expression through two or three
men, while the optionists propose to
give every voter in every part of the
county an opportunity to express
themselves at the same time upon
this question and that such express
sion shall be direct and not indirect.
In the same editorial you have well
sand that local option and prohibi-
t1on are regarded by many as syn
onymous terms. The idea is errone-
ous. a voter can consistently sun
)ort local option and at the same time
vote to license a saloon BY local op-
non we give the people the right to
say yes, or mo" upon the subject |
y prohibition. The same people who
now demand this right, also demand
he right to vote directly upon the
selection of all candidates for state
ind county offices and for the Office
II United States senator.
The day has passed in Idaho poll
les when few men can get together
Ind put up slate" or declare 4
'arty principle. However humble
otter may be, he Is going to demand
ne right to pass directly upon ALL
'reat social and economic questions,
nd the time is not far distant when
ve will see this idea Incorporated in
Q statutory law and In every COM
nonwealth under the American flag.
Sincerely yours.
