not continue to pay these excessive
freight rates and I am going to take
up at once with the commission the
question Of a reduction of wool rates
from Idaho and the intermountain
states in behalf of the National
Woolgrowers' association.
Il had hoped that this session of
the legislature would prove an ex-
ception to the rule and that for once
in the history of the state the Shortl
Line would be forced to keep its
hands off the throat of that body.
something which it has never done
since statehood But it is the old
story over again and one which will
be continued until some one is found
big enough and strong enough to
go before the people with a railroad
commission the one issue Of his cam
paign.
''I propose to continue the fight un-
B til l force the Short Line to take its
hands off the Legislature of this state
Its officials boast openly of their de-
feat of Brady at the polls. but two
years from now I am going to see
that they have chance to try to
defeat another Republican nominee
for governor.
"The railroad commission issues
in Idaho will never die. There are
three other states in the union with
out such a commission and l have
too much pride in Idaho to.allow her
to be the last to enact this piece of
4 legislation in the interests of the
people"
Il Referring to his mission in the ma
tional capital. Mr.. Gooding said:

While there I conferred with the
secretary of agriculture and assis-
tant Forester Potter. met a delega-
ton of representative members of
the national Woolgrowers' associa-
tion and the National Cattlemen's s
association was also represented. At
the conference which followed much
was accomplished in the way of Sc
curing better regulations for the
grazing of livestock upon the lands
in forest reserves.
Secretary Vision gave his ap-
proval to the plan of creating a ma
tional advisory board which will
, take up the bigger questions between
the livestock men and the depart
ment. / found a spendid feeling ex-
isting between these officials and the
: people of the west and l am satisfied
/ that my trip was productive of much
good to the forest and livesock in
terests in this section of the country
: while in Washington I heard
e Senator Borah's great speech on The
2 constitutional amendment providing
e for the election of United State:
e senators by the people. 1t was on'
Z of the best and strongest speeche
t in the history of the senate and con

the law and the facts. Upon its con
n clusion Senator Borah received man,

and l have too much pride in Idaho /
to have her the last to enact such (
legislation in the interests of the
people
Fresh from two weeks visit at
Washington. where he went to con-
fer with Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and officials of the forestry
bureau in the matter of grazing live
stock within the Idaho reserves, for
mer Fovernor Gooding arrived in
Boise yesterday just in time to wit
ness the death in the senate of the
ly.railroad commission bill which he
has championed so long and so ar
IDENTIFY.
1T was too much to expect the
legislature to pass such a bill with
the governor against It," said Mr..
Gooding. but I have not yet given
up fighting as the people and the
Short Line too will find out before /
am through
Commenting further on the de-
feat of the measure Mr. Gooding
said: 1.-The friends of the bill have
right to be proud of the showing
made AS a means of educating the
people alone it was we'll worth the
effort Forty-three out of the AZ
states have such law in force. but
Idaho will never get it without the
assistance of her governor
"Yet Idaho might have proved an
exception if the Republican party
after the plank had been inserted in
the platform, had discussed the issue
fairly and squarely before the peo-
pie. But the campaigning was all
one-sided. Tons of literature were
sent out broadcast by the Short Line
and the effect of this. together with
the influence of those receiving spe-
cial privileges and favors from the
road was sufficient to render success
ful the campaign waged against the
measure from the beginning.
1T is a we'll known fact that Re
publican speakers sent out from Re-
publican headquarters were instruct
ed not to discuss the railroad com
mission issue so it is not strange that
some of the senators were able to
say, and truthfully so, that in theiI
Judgment large majority of the
people were opposed to the measure
in their counties.
Il have no feeling against the Re
publican senators who voted against
the bill, yet / do believe they look
ed at the matter in its broadesi
sense. They are state officers and il
measure represent all the people
OF the state. 1t was a party pledge
Of course. but it is perhaps no
strange that they looked lightly up
on the obligation when the Republi
can organization was not reall,
forcing the issue.
Il may be a candidate for COVER

now. I certainly viii be if, in m,
Judgment, such a step is necessar,
to the successful enactment into Law
of a bill providing for this commits
sion. Before another campaign roll
around the people will know NOR
about excessive freight rates in Ida
no. which are the highest of an
state in the Union. and the highes
charged by any road in any countr
on earth The Short Line pays les
taxes than any road in the country
