SHOULD ORGANIZE
FAIR ASSOCIATION

AS nothing of a definite nature
was done at the meeting held two
weeks ago to discuss the organiza-
ton of a fair and racing association
in Montpelier, ii has been decided
to hold another meeting next Mon
day nigt at the Commercial club
rooms over the First National bank
Articles Of Incorporation have
been drawn up and will be read at
the meeting This will place the
question in such tangible form tha,
everyone can more readily determine
whether or not they wish to sub
scribe for stock.
1t seems to the Examiner that the
enterprise is one of merit and that
there should be no trouble in rails
ing a sufficient sum to place fan
and raceIng association on a sound
basis to start with. AS a good
starter we have an excellent site
already fenced, the best half-mil,
race track in Southern Idaho, plenty
of stable room to accommodate all
the race horses that would ever Il,
entered at a race meet
If you are At all interested IN thi
proposed enterprise attend the meet
ing next Monday night.

WHO WANTS
PINCHOT BACK?

One-half of Idaho is in a forest re-
serve. This wealth of timber might rs
well be in South America for all the
good it does the people of this state.
By the decree Of Clifford Pinehot the
people of Idaho must get their lumber
supply of the Wayerhousr syndicate at
trust prices instead of getting It Mt a
reasonable price. The land upon which
the timber stands might in many sec
tions be converted into farms furnish
ing homes for thousands of pee ! but
for Clifford Pinchot With the i.nowl-
edge and consent of his chief, Pinchet
locked up one-half of the state, render
ing Ii utterly useless. This is what he
calls conserving the natural resour-
ces Not content with locking up the
fuel and building supply he Withdrew
all the power sites in the state leaving
people ut the mercy of the two or three
companies which had secured sites be-
fore his order went into effect. There
are power sites everywhere in this state;
electrical energy can be developed as
cheaply rs anywhere in the world. yet
the people must pay high rates and see
this vast power going to waste because
Pinchot desired to conserve the natnr-
nj resources.
When Taft came into office be inn
mediately began to Investigate these
conditions, with the result that Piuchot
WAS dropped from the service and lands
in Idaho and other states restored to
entry as rapidly as Investigation could
be made and it was determined that it
sh I'D be restored. From the history
of the pas tvo years there is everv rea-
son to believe th II # Taft is continued
in power these Investigations Will go ON
until everythin is restored to the pub
! lie domain that should be restored.
Pinehot is working overtime for Roose-
welt and it is absolutely certain that if
he were president, Pinchot would be
aael1 on the job OF locking up Idaho.
: Yet with this fact staring hem i'll the
face, a large number of Idaho people
re clamoring for Roosevelt, but the
Lea1ar- Herald believes that larger
number ara not. -Nampa Leader Her

of that equality of opportunity
which is declared by the platform of
the Republican party to be the right
of every citizen.
Reference to a few of the anti
trust cases brought by the Taft ad-
ministration give an excellent idea
of the hardships some of these
illegal combinations entail upon
consumers. One prosecution was
brought against a number of in
dividuals who attempted TO corner
all the free cotton remaining of the
crop of 1908. This corner resulted
III raise in the price of that COM
modify to the spinners, prevented
some from making any purchases,
and was, therefore, restraining in
terstate commerce. ..
In like manner the government
took cognizance of the pooling in
the wire industry with the result
that nine indictments were found in
New York against eighty three per-
sons engaged in thai business. 1t
was an illegal restraint of trade, and
when the court proceedings had
been finished the various defendants
were fined in amounts averaging
$1,000 each, with the exception OF
the supervisor of the pool, who war
fined $45, 200.
One of the most outrageous cases
of com biuation IN restraint of trade,
and notable violation of the Sher
man law, was that of the hand
blown window glass industry. Prac
tically all of the manufacturers
(eighty-three in number) formed a
company which controlled the entire
output of hand-blown glass. As a
result the price was advanced 100
per cent within less than year.
The indictment of the men RESPONSE.
BILE, the imposition of fines, and the
restoration of the business upon it's
former lines, was followed by a SUBJ
stantial reduction in the price of
hand-blown glass.

PRESIDENT TAFTS
RECORD AGAINST TRUSTS
Sherman Law Enforced without Fear or Favor
Both in Civil and Criminal Prosecutions the
Taft Administration Breaks All Records.

President Taft's administration
has broken all records for prosecu-
tions brought aud won under the
Sherman Antitrust Law. Without
fear or favor it has brought to the
bar of justice corporations and per-
sons engaged in illegal comblna-
tions in restraint of trade, the ulti-
mate purpose of each combination
to create monopoly and to raise
the prices on Its products. In two
years and IL months of his admlnis-
tration President Taft has caused to
be brought four more civil suits
and fifteen more criminal prosecu-
tions than Mr.. Roosevelt brought
in the seven and one-half years of
his administration.
Until Mr.. Taft became the presi-
dent the administration of Mr..
Roosevelt held the record in both
particulars. Thus has President Taft
who was Mr.. Roosevelt's right arm
during his last administration, kept
his pledgeto the American people
to uphold aud MAINTAIN the policies
of his predecessor in Furnishing the
criminals and undesira BILE element
in the big business of the country.
During the Taft administration,
up to February, 1912, twenty-five
civil suits have been brought and
forty criminal indictments found
under the Sherman law, making in
all Sixty-two proceedings. AS re-
suit there were fifteen indictments,
and eleven of these involved eighty
or more defendants; eight out of
twelve defendants were convicted
on one indictment after trial by jury
and their conviction confirmed by
the court of appeals, and thirteen
criminal prosecutions are still pend
ing.
A brief review of the cases
brought under the anti trust law
during the administration demon.

IDAHO WILL Be
REPRESENTED

Idaho will show from $780, 900 to
200, 900 people big display of her
products at the Northwestern Pro-
ducts Exposition to be held in Min
neapolis November l2 TO 80.
Governor Hawley has received
word from the officers of the North
west Development League that the
Civic and Commerce Association of
Minneapolis has agreed to deal
whereby this state will be furnished
exhibit space for its Official display
without cost at the Products EAposi-
tion. The business interests of
Minneapolis are also erecting a
great exposition building as home
for this exhibition of northwest
products. The show will be given
under the auspices of the league as
the land show was in st. Paul last
year, and 1t will be the only exposi-
ton of its kind furnishing space tor
the official state exhibits free.
At cost of $4,000 the busines,
interests of Minneapolis and St
Paul have bought from the leagu,
the space necessary for the statei
and each of the seven will have +;
booth built for their exhibits ift,
feet long and ten feet wide with
back wall twelve by fifty feet.
The governor has been asked I,
confer with officers of the league il
this state and secure the interest 0
those who are capable of collectin,
and installing an EXHIBIT which will
be a credit to the state. The COVER
nor will probably appoint commits
sion to assist state officers in tn
work. Under this plan no count
nor community will have an advani
age over others in the state. An
city, county or reputable land con
pany desiring to make an indeper
dent exhibit will be able to secure
limited amount of space adjoinin
the state exhibit on reasonab
terms.

DOING
GOOD WORK

The attendance has reached nearly
the six hundred mark. There are a
few children out on account of sick
ness; a few cases of measles and other
ehildren's diseases.
The teachers are anxious that the
children return to their homes i'm
mediately after school and ask the
support of the parents in this matter
children should not be allowed to
run the streets at will.
Now as the pleasant days approach
there may be u tendency on the part
of pupils to want to stay out of school.
We can't speak too strongly in favor
of children remaining in school until
next year they can enter their work
regularly. Children who quit can
not take their places along with theif
class, and they naturally become dis

OREGON SHORT LINE
IMPROVEMENTS

The improvements to be made by
the Oregon Short Line in this dis
trict this year means that a large
number of men are to be employed
during the summer and fall. In
talking with Assistant Superinten-
dant e. J Hustled the other day we
learned that the appropriations have
all been made for this work, and
that it will probably start IN May.
The road will be double-tracked
from the east yards in kemmerer
thru to Fossil with the exception of
lhe tunnel, which will not be touch.
4d this year
! Among the other improvements
IN kemmerer will be the building of
new steel automatic coal ehutes III
The east yards. 1hese chutes will
be double and allow for engines TO
take coal from both main tracks
and the side track al the same time
when it is necessary
A new l00-foot turn table will
be installed, which will allow for
the handling of the largest engines
on this system.
The round house is also to be en-
larged to allow for three additional
stalls, making ten in all, which will
mean the increasing of the round
house force.
All this improvement may mean
much to Kemmerer in various other
ways which have not been referred
to yet, which may make this Poin1
an important railroad center. How
ever, 1t is well known that the Short
Line must have better facilities fol
the handling of it's enormous bust
ness which is increasing each year
and the necessity of the double tracl
is apparent.
The Short Line has already com
pleted its double tracking between
n Pocatello and McCammon, am
: work this year includes the double
tracking from MeCammon TO Law
on this division, a distance of !
miles, and also from point mile
west of Montpelier to point
|, miles east, or from Pescadero t
5 Dingle. All this is in addition t
: the work which will be done nea
/. Kemmerer. A new automatic cos
chute has been completed at Mon
pelier, similar to the one which vi
be built here. -Kemmerer Gamer.
vi In addition to the extensive i'm
: provements above mentioned, tt
y Short Line will this year cxpen
81 nearly VI, 900, 600 for improvement
a IN Pocatello in the way Of ne
,r passenger depot, general real
4 rangement of the yards, addition
le the freight and shop improvement
f. Work on the new depot will con
ne mence early in July. This stat
r. r. ment was made by Gen'l Manag
1t. Bancroft this week.

ture Of goose on a sheet OF paper
Underneath the likeness I wrote:
Dear Madam: II you pay two cents
to get this you are a goose I put
the sheet In plain envelope and ad

morning the duorbell rang furiously
While | was still In bed. I waited for
the wife or the maid to respond. bui
both had gone out. Finally went t.
the door myself. There was foo
