| ENDORSEMENT OF IDAHO'S
DELEGATION IN CONGRESS
Idaho delegation in the con-
gress of the United States has a
record of which all our citizens
should be proud. They have sus-
tanned the president in his great
work and have faithfully toiled
for Idaho in all matters coming
before the national congress.
While our state is one of
the youngest in the Union. she
has a representation in Congress
quail in ability and character to
any in the Union. We are espe-
cially gratified that their com
handing ability is recognized not
only there but throughout the
country, and that they have
achieved for themselves and their
state national fame. The welfare
of Idaho depends upon the sue
cess of Republican principles and
her representatives have safe
guarded her interests in all legis-
lative matters coming before
the national government and
have been foremost in champion
ing the cause not only of Repub-
licanism, but of all the people in
that great forum.
CAREY ACT COMMISSION.
We pledge the enactment of a
law providing for non-partisan
Carey act commission with full
and complete powers under the
constitution to manage and con-
troll and safeguard the Carey act
matters and all matters relating
to the disposition of public lands
under said act. We believe this
work of disposing of the lands
under the Carey act has grown to
such proportions and is of such
vital Importance as to requir
the exclusive attention of com
petent board in order that the in
terests of the state and the set
tiers may be fully and completely
safeguarded and protected.

| PLOYES PROHIBITED IRON

actment of a law making it a
criminal offense punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary
for any official or state employe
or appointee having anything to
do, directly or indirectly, with
the disposal of our public lands
under the Carey act, or otherwise
to acquire any interest directly
or indirectly, in any lands dispos-
ed of by the state, or to accept,
directly or indirectly, from any
person, association or corpora
lion, any reward, compensation
OF thing of value, for any SER
vices performed or for any pur-
pose in connection with the dis
posal of said lands.
CONSERVATION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES.
/ We earnestly favor such a pol
icy of conservation as will safe
guard and protect our natural re-
sources from waste, extravaganza
and monopoly. Conservation does
not mean nonuse or nondevelop-
ment. 1t does not mean the ty-
ing up of the natural resources
of our state. 1t means the utiliz-
alton of those resources under
such regulation and control as
will prevent waste, extravaganza
and monopoly and at the same
time not merely permit but en-
Noui age SuCH uSc anu develop
ment as will serve the uses of the
people generally We believe that
the national government and the
state government should cooper
ate in the carrying on of this
ate in the carrying on of this i'm
important work and that such
rights and powers as belong to
the national government should
be by it exercised, and that such
rights and powers as eblong to
state government should be main
tanned, preserved and exercised
by it. In other words. that we
should accept the plain terms of
the constitution as our guide and
proceed in good faith to protect.
preserve and dedicate these natur-
al resources to the use of the peo-
pie.
