d. Worth Clark on Issues

Hon D. Worth Clark Of PocatelIo fires the foovino s.
into the Republican camp through the columns of the Rex @
The candidates offices have been nominated a
forms containing the pledges of the dominant parties have
promulgated up to the people to decide at the n G
party they will ndorse It proper therefore that we de
from their public which party entitled to the
Of the thinking and women OF Idaho
The questions that most agate the minds Of te 49,,
E;irst-The Ubiquitous Payne-Aldrich Tariff Law.
Second-The administration OF State Land Board n+
Thrd-The liquor question
In the republican platform found square endorsements i
TAFT administration and his protective policy thereby saving m M
people that republican party Idaho the future as in fbe
Proposes uphold the hands of the trusts and monopo H.
the taken by Hepburn and Hamer approved and that no
lief be expected IN this respect II the republicans returned
to power in this state.
On the second question the republican platform adds an no
flied Of the republican state administration This en-
dorsemet less than that the people satisfied wifi
the actions Of the maodoou state land board that they approve M
actions board the Mackay dam matter where hundreds
of thousands of dollars wasted account of the f and
caeessnes this board Where hundreds of settlers have GONE
lands and spent their ALL and have relief or hope for
the future These settlers must start life again poverty
their children perhaps go without the of life and
their accomplished account of the negligence this
board only offered that the board did not have time
attend Duties and still the republican platform approves this
administration of public affairs.
This plank is endorsement that board and OF their actions
taking away from the people in Fremont county and other parts
Of this large Of public lands and turning cor
porations and prominent politicians.
1t endorsement Of the action Of certain members of that
board securing for themselves large bodies Of public under
made felones if that party is placed power
We fail to see how any sefrespecing party
dose this board, still the republican platform contains that solemn
endorsement
On the liquor question the platforms the parties are without
material difference the republican platform declares for the
local option law and the submission OF constitutional amendment
The democratic platform declares for the present local option
law and for the initiative and referendum and recall
AS between these positions the democratic platform farh
advanced and much sensible gives the people the right
initiate any law only prohibition law bad law
passed BY the legislature and to recall from public life unt
servants
The democratic position this question the fair open and
sensible and the only whereby the people themselves may
rule
The democratic party squarely against the nquons
PayneAldrch tariff law Promises investigation of the State
Land Board that those guilty Of betrayng the people not
unwhpped of justice revision of revenue laws SO that TAR
basis of taxation may be arrived and that Improvements OF home
steads be exempt the $4,000 effective antitrust
law and a just employers liability act
The republican party desires expensive Carey Act
Commission and warehouse and railroad commission presumably
for the Of creating jobs for has been suggested
that if the present state officials the OF the people m
renamed at home and attended their duties instead OF occupying
their time running the and other wearing gold a
and spending the peoples money that commissions Woua
necessary to do their work We ourselves OF the OPINION @
the present officials to be continued power it will be the W
d wisdom to create these commissions that the peoples WORK may
De done And then the officials who should do the work may g.
about to social functions ranent and be only Ornamental
However the democratic party its platform seems to m l
such commissions necessary that this increased burden M
on should not be laid the people, but that the officials Wh
people employ to do the work should stay at home and DO
an be no comparison of the platforms The democratic m
