FINAL ELECTION RALLIES
IN NOVA SCOTIA.
Liberals Are Fighting Hard to Hold
Eleven Seats and Capture
Two Other.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
St. John, N. B., Sept. 19.-Final raj
lies in the various constituencies this
week close the parliamentary cam
paign in this section, where the liber-
ais are fighting to hold the eleven
seats which they occupied in the last
house of commons and to capture from
the opposition the other two-St
John city, and York county-which
make up the thirteen to which this
province is entitled. They are predict
ing that they will come out of the con
test with twelve representatives but
admit doubt about winning York coun-
ty, where, at the last election, O. s.
Crockett, conservative, defeated his lib.
eral opponent by more than 800 votes.
The government workers are hope.
full that Hon. William Pugsley, minis
ter of public works, will carry with
him, James Lowell as the city and
county member.
On the other hand, the conservatives
say they will gain several seats in the
province and will re-elect Crockett, and
perhaps defeat P1gley himself.
Campaign Was Intense.
The campaign for the last seven
weeks has been intense, particularly
towards the close, and marked inter
est has been shown by the electors.
It is practically all reciprocity, fol
or against, and the trade agreement
has been presented in all possible as
poets. The polls will open at a.
m. and close at p. ~, and two hours
afterwards there should be fair indi
cation of the result in the eastern

Two dominant instincts are con

make the most OF himself and to reap
the richest harvest for his endesvor.
The other is the impulse TO be a 80.

companionship and likes to work with
others. Carried out TO its fullest ex-
tent and possibility the first impulse

Warrants to the amount Of sll,
IA. 5S were issued upon the road
and bridge fund in Lincoln county
during the year 1910. Asnn record
has been kept of the amount spent
in any specified district, we will
leave il To our readers to estimate
how much of this sum was eXpend-
ed in this vicinity. We can point
out various instances where new
bridges have been put in without
any cost To the county except for
material, which should not be cred
tied Ia this fund Yet the men
who spent their time and money in
putting in these bridges, and i'm
proving the roads, are told by a few
of our town people Ia keep up the
good work, as ii is far cheaper fol
us town people than it would be un'
der the Highway district law.

BUSINESS MEN FOR 1T.

From all information We can
CLEAN the business men and citizens
generally, Of Gooding and Shoshone
are rallying heartily to the support
of the Highway District law, and
the Mayor Of the former town is out
with proclamation, urging the cit
izens to vote in favor of establishing
a district. As rule the business
interest of town are quick To grasp
the Importance nf measure that
will tend Ia enhance their welfare

We feel that some of the business
men of Jerome are making grave
mistake in not rallying To the sup
port of the Highway district law.
We believe there is no more progres-
sive set of business men found than
we have here in Jerome, and it
seems strange that they should take
a backward movement AT this time.
II must be admitted that their sue
cess or failure is in the hands of the
farmers in this vicinity, and il
should he their aim to encourage

CHANGING THEIR TACTICS.

The opposition to the highway
district law started ont with great
blarc of trumpets that the commits
sioners could bond the district at
their will, without putting the ques-
tion Ia the vote of the people. They
have found they were wrong in their
argument, and So resorted to prog
nostications as To- what dire calam-
ities MIGHT befall the citizens of
the district in case the measure
should carry. In fact a close ex'
animation of their arguments VIII
indicate that they are based solely
on suppositions. Mr.. Johnson, in
his address Saturday, made clear
the fact that no bonds could be is
sued except hy a two-thirds major
ity of the residents of the district
and as proof of his assertion he re-
fcrred to decision of the Supreme
court, annulling the bond clause IN
the good roads law because IT did
not specifically call for vote OF the
people upon the proposition. Hence
we could look for no issue OF bonds
unless the people voted for them

We will not attempt 10 give de-
tailed report Of Mr.. .Dohnson's
meeting last Saturday. Suffice it
to say that those who heard him
cannot help but admire the logical
arguments he put forth in behalf Of
the Highway District law. His
first proposition was to take up the
announcement that f. X. Sherman,
president OF the lntcrmOuntain
Good Roads ASSN, was opposed to
the Highway District law, prefer
ring the Good Roads law instead.
Mr.. Johnson stated that n portion
OF the latter law had been declared
unconstitutional in that it did not
call for a vote of the residents of
the district upon the question Of
bond ISSUES. Another feature Of
the law that MIR. Sherman prefers,
excludes municipalities from the
district, thus leaving the entire bur-
den upon the farmer, while the
municipality contiguous would reap
untold benefits from constructing
OF good roads. As far a. lay in his
power the speaker attempted to ans
wer the questions propounded tn
him, and we feel that his explana
tions of many Of the points in dis
pute had material effect upon those
seeking unprejudiced information

RATHER PERPLEXIN0.

In his masterly(?) article ON the
Highway District question, pub
llshed in these columns, the writer
tells us in one sentence that the bill
was taken to Boise and pounced
upon by every attorney, and made
twice as long ~ the original draft,
and in the next sentence he tells us
that Scrate bill 120 was rushed
through the house at the closing
hours, togethes with - other bills.
Which are we to believe? The
fact is the bill went before the house
where it was discussed and amend
ed in many instances after careful
consideration, and passed by a
unanimous vote of the Legislature.
Must we presume that every mem
Der OF the legislature, representing
every county III the state, would
foster a. obnoxious Il law upon the
citizens Of the state A. our wise
friend would have us believe?
The highway district law wa
framed and conceived in the light
Of experience, and it, aim was To
give the people redress from the
present general road law. The en-
tire membership Of the Legislature
considered that senate bill l2O con-
tained the remedy, thus the bill be-
came a law.
1t is to be regretted that every citi.
zen cannot he permitted 10 reac
the law throughout instead of hav
ing il peacemealed out to them il
quantities to suit the antagonists %
the measure, a. we believe the feel
ing would be much more favorable
To the measure. We have endeav
ored to obtain the same in supple
ment form, but unfortunately have
been disappointed in our efforts.

vertisement for any section. W,

The opposition have covered a
great deal of newspaper space in
discussing the highway law, and
have propounded question after
question relative to it But when
boiled down is it not Il fact that their
whole argument is based on what
MIGHT occur, with Il board of dis
honest officials at the head? y
pessimist is universal complainer,
or one who is always looking upon
the unravorable side of things. De
the supporters of the opposition
wish to he classified a. such? The
actions of some of them would indi-
cate as much.

FINALLY ADJUSTED.

Barring a few of the many stub
born cases the controversy between
the settlers and the Land Il Water
Co. has been brought to final
close on sort Of compromise
basis, and what promised at one
time to involve Il period OF long
drawn out litigation, has been over
come by the untiring efforts Of the
directory of the Canal Users Asso-
citation, assisted by their attorney,
Jess Hawley, who have spent many
days carefully going over the ques-
ton in dispute with representatives
Of the Co.
BY the terms of the agreement
the settlers will receive partial con-
pensation for losses sustained, and
the first of these payments were
made last week. Other concessions
granted by the company was an ex-
tension of time on their payments
due, and an offer To loan money AT
6 per cent, for the purpose Of fur
ther development on the part Of the
settler.
That the controversy has at last
been brought to an end is source
Of much qualification to everyone
ON the tract, ~ il means 4 new
epoch in the history Of this section
The present season promises most
abundant yield- in hay, grain and
fruit, and for the first time in the
history of the tract most of the set
tiers will have AN abundance, and
some Ia spare. Not only this, but
il we are Ia base our Judgment upon
present indications, the top prices
will prevail in most instances. All
through the eastern and central
states the crops have either been
destroyed or badly damaged by
want Of rain, which necessitates tn,
people of those sections looking
elsewhere for their supplies, and
the natural tendencies are toward
the irrigated sections. 80, witt
bumper crops, and an assurance {"
good prices, the people of this sec
tion have reasons 10 he elated ovel
the glowing prospects
The requests for information re-
garling Southern Idaho, as report
ed by the state land commissioner
are increasing daily, and it is con
fdently believed that the coming
fall and winter will witness larg'
influx Of eastern emigration int
this section, and, even if they arr
from Missouri, the North Side trac
will he in position to shov
them" Now that peace reigns su
preme, let us all put our shoulde
10 the wheel and boost for Southern
Idaho and the North Side tract il
particular.
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1911-06-08

We have yet to hear one word
from the opposition, upholding the
present method of building roads in
this county, and we believe that all
of them are ready to admit that the
highway district might be all right,
hut they would like to see some one
else try il out. Let us carry out the
reputation we have for progressive
ness, and be leaders, and set the
example for Others, instead of trail
ing after some one else.

The News infcrs that the TIMES
has not been established here long
enough to butt into matters per
tanning to public nature. Well
we have probably seen about as
many years of failure in road
building as the News man has, and
no one is more ready to admit the
inpossibility of getting good roads
under the present law than the
News itself. However the only dill
ference lies i'm the fact that we have
CLEANED our information regarding
the condition of roads here from
farmers who use them almost every
day. while the News has catered IA
a cotcrie of town people who have
no occasion To use the roads only III
a time when they wish To take Il
pleasure drive. Come now, MIR
News, own up that personally you
are as much in favor of the new
Highway District law NJ you have
been over some other subjects thai
the farmers have advocated, bu
which policy" would not permit
you to publicly proclaim.

AN INSULTING THRUST.

The supporters Of the Jerome
Highway district claim as an argu-
ment for it, that it will strike ter
ror in the mind of the resident
speculator, and that by its operation
he will be made to contribute to the
local improvement while occupying
a cozy home" back east. The
speculator who can afford to be such
in his home back East can appar-
emily give the actual settler cards
and spades in this tax business and
still beat him out. Apparently he
has the ready money To remit
Immediately he receives the no
tice, and can stand the local tax
e. as well a. the other fellow. All
that is necessary To demonstrate
this is a reference to the published
delinquent tax list Of the North
Side Tract or any other part of the
county and note whether it is the
speculator or the other fellow who
is finding it difficult to satisfy the
tax collector.-North Side News.
We are surprised at this insulting
language thrust in the teeth Of men
who for over two years have struggled
against fate to make the North Side
tract what il j. to-day, and we feel
that ii is below the dignity of any
man, to say nothing Of a newspaper,
to thrust insults at a hard working,
honest man, simply because through
adverse circumstances he is unable
10 pay his honest debts.
Honest, hard working men have
come 10 this section with an ambi-
tion Ia make IA home for themselves
and the ones they love. They have
+ toiled early and late with only this
end in view, hut the results have

marks, they have not paid their
