Statement by Hawley.

] am in receipt Of your favor of the
eleventh inst. am very pleased to
hear from you indeed, and especially
glad to have copies of the proposed
laws. | am in hearty sympathy with
the objects aimed at in the uniform
divorce law and In the eight hour
law for women, and equally In SYM
pathy with the amendments proposed
to the Code except that Section 1886
in my opinion should exempt unpat'
ented mining claims and either OF
the spouses in whose name this prop.
arty stands should have the right
to dispose Of it. While this matter
is not as important in most places
as it once was, still 1t strikes me
that it would work a hardship In
many cases not to have this particu-
lar exemption made. There may be
reasons. however, for not making
this exemption and If | did not attach
particular Importance to the matter
| certainly would not on that ground
alone refuse to sustain the bill.
In conclusion / would say l am
In hearty sympathy with the objects
you are aiming at and will give my
earnest support to the proposed

stock dealers at that price in the

FOR STATE SENATOR

Worth s. Lee was elected two
years ago with a good majority and
we have no fault to find with his
services.
1t is imperative that Mr.. Lee be
returned to the senate which means
tnat 1t is the only assurance that
Senator Borah will be returned to
the U. s. Senate. 1t is also of vital
importance to elect Republican
senate in order to get the state out
of the present situation which has
been brought about by Democratic
governor.

SAFETY FOR THE IDAHO FARMERS

Has the average farmer of Idaho
stopped to figure out just where he
is going to get off in this campaign ?
We viii assume that he is affiliated
with the third party fanaticism-tha
he is for Roosevelt, in other words.
Now, ii it SO transpires that he
Is a Roosevelt man it is an abso-
lutte fact, and not theory, that he
will not have an opportunity to vote
for Republican for Senate and
Congress That leaves him in a
position where he will have to vote
for a Democrat. Now, if he pro-
fesses Republicanism and claims a.
belief in Republican institutions, he
is manifestly in bad shape.
If he is farmer and believes in
the protective principle, as all farm
ers should and do, he is supporting
an erstwhiie Republican candidate
in theory, and supporting Democratic
conditions for Congress on the Bull
moose ticket has been a lifelong
.Ismocrat.
Theodore Roosevelt stands COM
mitted to Republican protective tar
iff and infers Democratic 'free-trad-
ers on his bogus ticket in Idaho will
assist in working out that theory
That it is sham and double deal
for the farmer is plainly evident.
Now, we will see where the Idaho
farmer expects to get off on this
deal.
Granted that he entertains Repub-
lican ideas, and granted also that
he fathers the third party idiocy,
which will not give him an oppor-
tunity to vote for those ideas.
The farmer has not generally under
stood that he is protected by the
tariff. We will give him practi-
Cal demonstration.
The farmers of Idaho raise all
grains, grasses, vegetables and live
stock with as much success as in
any given areas in the western
country. Because of his ability as
a farmer he should believe in protec-
tive tariff. Why?
We will say for Ainstance: he
raises oats and wheat. Vie gets a
pretty good price for each product.
The farmer in Germany raises the
same grain, but it costs the German
farmer Csc per bushel to land his
wheat in the United States, and it
costs 15c per bushel for him to land
his oats, above market. price. Were
free-trade in operation the European
farmer could come into direct COM
petition with the American farmer,
and the price of his grain would de-
crease. AS it stands today a vast
amount of grain and other products
are in evidence on the list of inn
portations. The Idaho farmer re-
ceives the benefit of the protective
policy. Not only that, but the yield

Tax Collector

Tax Collector
The assessor does not make levies
and consequently the high rate Of
taxes can not be charged to the
assessor.
1t is quite evident however, that
the tax question is an important
matter when it comes to the assess.
ment of property, and fair assess.
ment of all property, whether the
amounts be large or small is an es-
sential matter.
On the Republican ticket for as.
SCISSOR and tax collector is Henry
Jacobson who has been resident
of Mountain Home for the past eight
years.
Before coming to Idaho, Mr.. Jacob
son was a wheat raiser In North Da-
kota for "a years.
lie S6TV6u DIS dSocoSOi IiAS yS1i ?
in Cass County, North Dakota, and
5 years in Ward county. He was
reelected eight times in Cass county
and four times in Ward county with
out opposition. Not bad record
You will make no mistake when you
cast your vote for Henry Jacobson
lor assessor and tax collector.
1--WE have a communication from
Mountain Home, Idaho, from our old
friend Henry Jacobson. Mr.. Jacob
son is now out campaigning for Coun
" Assessor for which position he Is
a candidate. We have no doubt that
Mr.. jacobson will be elected as he has
nad experience in similar position
nere, and always discharged his du-
lies in an able and impartial manner.
This fact should commend him to the
tiers of his county when they cast
heir ballots next November" Ken

The duty charged on these pro-
ducts that were shipped into the
United States, and which affords
profit to the American farmer under
Republican protective tariff is as
not be worth a cent.
Seed peas will shortly constitute
one of the most profitable products
produced by the Idaho farmer Wheat
oats, rye and barley are all heavy
products today; stock raising is like
wise an important industry.
These great Industries that mean
so much to q growing STATE should
not be discouraged through the
blight of free-trade. The farmer will
remember that they need protection,
and must have it if the state is to
progress and advance as Is its pro-
per proportion. The farmer cannot
vote to sustain the third party hobby
