pears to exist when it Is realized that
the only increase in wages made by
these roads is 80 per cent. less than
the minimum advance In the wage OF

for increasing railroad rates at this
time"
President Pennington, OF the Common
Council. when introduced by Mayor
Haussling, said the one course to be
followed in his judgment was to acceps
the view of Governor Fort and, voicing
popular sentiment, request the executive
to call q special session of the Legisla-
ture at once.
Governor Fort declares the remedy
lies in a special session." said Mr.. Pen
nington, provided the people through
their representatives demand such a
course. This is the time and place to
make the demand. and I am heartily In
favor of it."
Days Session would DO.
Former Assemblyman Johnston, rep
~resenting Glen Ridge, said a special
session was the only remedy. and ex-
pressed the belief that it should be
called at once.
with the members of the present
Legislature thoroughly familiar with
the subject said Mr.. Johnston, "the
law could be properly adjusted in a
single days session, and that Is wha
should be done"
Walter A. Flint. of West Orange;
Charles l.. Dennison, of Belleville;
David H. Slayback, of Verona, AMI
Frederick M. Hoffman, of Livingston,

vent the increase I'm the rates was for
the Governor to call a special session

It is stated on good authority
thatSthe reports of the geologists
have been purposely conservative,
and that future Investigations will
certainly prove that the phosphate
fields of Utah, Wyoming and Idaho
are by far the richest IN the world.
While not SO alluring as gold or

will prove great source of wealth
to the northwestern states.
Incomplete advance reports OF

mate the high grade phosphat rock
at about 800, 600, 900 tons, and this
figure will probably be doubled

NOTHING BUT
GLORY IN IT

There has been more or less con-
troYersy about the payment of ex-
penses of public officials when traV-
cling over the state. There has
been no dispute when they have
travelled on public business, but the
question has often been raised
whether it was public or private
Mr.. Brady no doubt though he had
disposed of one element of possible
criticism by paying all his expenses
whether travelling on state or per-
sonal business. He made that
statement In his St. Maries speech.
He also said he had donated to vari-
Gus charities and public enterprises
more than bis salary. "In other
words,'' he added, II have worked
for the state free of charge and
boarded myself" After having
done this IN connection with giving
the people business-llke admins
tration, which shows surplus OF
nearly $4OO, 900 and after having
retired $2os, 900 in bonds, the gov
ernor naturally smarts under tht
Democratic accusation of having
been officially neglectful and ex
travagant. 1t seems the governor
has neglected only his own inter
ests and has been extravagant only
with bis own purse. 1t is quit
apparent there has been nothing
but glory in the position for him.

TRIED OF HOLDING
PUBLIC OFFICE

About two years ago our old friend,
Col J. w. Jones of the Rigby Star,
got an itching for Office, and he got 1t
SO bad that he was willing to take
any old kiud of an office that showed
up. First he wanted state appoint
ment of some kind-we don'tremem-
Der just what 1t was--but because he
didn't get it he became s'madder than
a wet hen" ana called Governor
Brady about all kinds of naughty
names known to the English Lam
guage. After failing to land state
Job, he got the idea that he would like
to be postmaster at Rigby. He went
after that Office red hot and landed
1t something like year ago. But 10
and behold, the stCor' has found that
public office isn't private snap,
and after serving the people of Rigby
faithfully as postmaster for one year,
he hag rendered his resignation to
take effect as soon as his successor
can be named. After being relieved
from the arduous duties of postmas-
ter. the 'sCoP' will 'senter the Star of
flee for keeps, hang up his coat and
| feel once more at home.' He closed
the announcement of his resignation
last week with the statemen that ssho
would ratherbe In full command and
control of a newspaper in a live town,
such as Rigby is, than to be post
master general.
Well, here is success to you "Col. -
and may the Star ever continue to
shine forth as one of the brightest

OUR NOMINEES
FOR commissioners

The Office of county commission
er is really the most important of
all the county list to be selected In
November, because this office is so
vitality connected with the business
end of the county. The commits
sioners have charge of the disburse-
ment of the peoples money, and If
extravagant or incompetent men are
elected to that Office, there is dan
ger of unnecessary expenses being
incurred and improper bills being
allowed. Bear Lake county has
been fortunate of late years in hay-
ing safe and conservative men in
that Office.
Now the Examiner hasn't word
to say against either one of the
democratic candidates for commits
sioner. They are all good, sub
stantial citizens Of the county ant
if elected would serve The people
well. We believe, however, tina
in Messrs. Merrill, Hymas and Lin
ford, the republicans have candid
ates for that office who are in ever,
sense Of the word the equal Of thei
opponents. One of them, Mr.
! Hymas, has had two years experl
} e ce as commissioner and his recorl
was such that no one en- say
word against it. He is man 9

Mr.. HAWLEY SHOULD
ANSWER THESE

When James Ii. Hawley, demo-

in Montpelier tomorrow, instead of
devoting all his time in his usual
line of abuse of Governor Brady
and attempting to hide the real
issues of the campaign, we suggest
he commit himself On few ques-
tions that the people really want to
hear him talk about.
Mr.. Hawley is pretty good at
REORGANIZATION himself, and
skilled in the art of defense, but we
are nevertheless moved to PROFOUND
to him the following questions:
Did you or did you not vote for
the adoption of temperance under
the local option lawa
Can you explain why it was nec-
essary for the last democratic ward
en- of the state penitentiary to be
removed.
Can you explain why the last
democratic state land board sold
over ahundred thosand acres of the
finest timber in Idaho for the beg
gardly sum of $4.s5 per acre, wher
Governor Brady can get $23 pei
acre for less valuable timber?
Can you explain Why 1t has beer
necessary for republican admins
tration to pay off bonded deficI
ency in current expenses inherited
from the last democratic administra
tion of nearly 100000?
You refer TO republican eatrava
gance-can yon explain why tn
last democratic state land boar
only did business of approximate
ly $le6, 600 and Governor Brady
business of 81, 300, 200!
Can you state why Governo
Brady has earned for the state Q

Can you explain why in the re-

Boise, Oct. 18-
Reports are being received from
the irrigated districts in the differ
ent parts of the state 10 the effect
that there is general indignation
over the charge that Mr.. Hawley,
the democratic nominee for govern
or, is making that the administra-
tion Of the state land board in con-
nection with these projects, has
been such as to make it impossible
to secure capital to carry on these
projects and has stopped all imigra-
tioR in this state. The most sub
stanlial citizens at these several
points brand the statement as being
absolutely false and characterize the
effort of Mr.. Hswley to ride into
Office by resorting to such practice
as rather contemplate,
Not few Of the leading citizens
from these sections, who attended
the state fair last week, were inter-
viewed relative to the matter and
expressed themselves 90 forcibly as
to evidence that Mr.. HRwley has per-
haps started more than he thought,
and that the reaction will be any
thing but favorable to him. Re
publican leaders at the capital are
amused at this effort Of the demo-
Gratis TO divert attention from the
real issues and say that it will prove
q failure. They point to the fact
that it lie not an issue except as the
republicans have made it Que. They
emphasize the fact that it was re
publican governor WHIP, through hii
knowledge of irrigating matters

saw the need of Carey Act CON-
mission and recommended it to the
Legislature, that it was not the re-
publicans who defeated this recon-
mendation, but the democrats of the
senate, by direction of the demo-
cratic state central committee for a
political purpose, and 1t was not
a democrat who brought to light
these Irregularities of the register,
but Governor Brady himself.
The disposition of Mr.. Hawley to
critlcise the republicans for extra
vagance in the present state admin
istration is creating much comment
adverse to Mr.. Hawley's unfounded
criticism and the republican leaders
suggest that comparison be made
between it and Governor Hunts ad-
mlnistration. That Mr.. Hawley
explain why it was necessary for
the last democratic warden of the
state penitentiary to be removed;
why it was that the last democratic
state land board sold over 100, o00
acres of the finest timber in Idaho
for $4.s5 per acre, when Governor
Brady can get S93 per acre for less
valuable timber; why was 1T that
the republican administration has
had to pay off a bonded deficiency
in current expenses inherited from
the last democratic administration
of nearly 800, 900 and why Govern
or Brady has earned for the state OF
Idaho $2e0, 900 from the land de
partment alone as against s25, 600
under the last democratic admins
tration?

IS IT LAWFUL TO
NUMBER BALLOTS?

Boise, Oct. 2o-One Of the most
important cases testing the applica.
on of the Australian ballot and the
sacredness of election secrecy as
protecting the voter, that has ever
come up in Idaho, is that of James
B. McGrane, contestant and appell-
ant, against Nez Perce county, con-
testee and respondent, brought up
on appeal from the judgment of
Judge Edgar G. Steele of the sec
ond district court, which the su-
preme court will hear in the October
term at Lewiston IN few days.
The case is IN the form of con-
test originally, of the local option
election held in Nez Perce county
March Q of this year, which resulted
IN a victory for the "drys." But
more vital questions than that of
whether Nez Perce county shall re-
main "weto or "dry" are involved
in this controversy, and one Of the
greatest legal battles Of recent years
will be fought before the supreme
court by Attorneys Charles Melon

The main point upon which the
appellant bases his contest is the
