KEEPING UP WITH THE HEALTH PACE

What desirable publicity may be given any
community through the advertisement of a high
standard of health and sanitation is illustrated
in the favorable comment made by many papers
and magazines on the health report of 1911 for
the Philippines. ....
That ten million people have been vaccinated
without the occurrence of a single death, that
smallpox has been practically wiped ont and the
health of the acknowledgement by many hundred
per cent. are remarkable facts, showing what
Uncle Sans medical scientists are able to ac-
complish. Now Manila and other cities are
making bid for tourist traffic on the strength
of their health record.
Ho0olulu's record is far and away better than
that of the Philippine cities, natural conditions
fayoring the islands powerfully. But the rec
ord is not to be maintained without some ener-
getic sanitation, which is the moving agent of
health The sanitation commissions report
made few months ago should be studied by
every candidate for the legislature, because the
legislature will be asked toeenact laws based on
the study made by the members of the commits:

If Republican men and principles are to win
this fall, the two campaign committees must
work in absolute harmony and on joint pro
gram. 4 divided house is doomed from the cut
set.
Both the territorial and county platforms can
be given the sncerest support. Both carry
many progressive measures. The only possible
way whereby these measures can be enacted
into law is by. the combined efforts of territorial
and county campaigners. Otherwise Kuhio will
be marked for defeat and the board of supervi-
sors and the Legislature split between Republic
ans and Democrats, with deadlock SO far as the
Republican program of progressive legislation is
concerned.
Get together, gentlemen!

YEARS SALMON PACK
PLACED VERY HIGH

Gently by w. /. Crawford, secretary of

ISOLATION. The exact figures showing
the pack have not yet been obtained
from all the canneries, but from the
returns already in and from reports
which he has received from different
points in Alaska, on Puget Sound and
the Columbia river, NJ Crawford es
Inmates the total seasons pack at
slightly more than 4,250,000 cases of
fish, or considerably less than packed
last year.
Big Pack in Alaska. -~ Z.
The estimate indicates that the pack
of salmon in Alaska will be the largest
crease of more than 100000 cases in
the Western Alaska pack and to the
fact that several new canneries oper-
ated in Central and Southeastern
Alaska this season.
4. Mr.. Crawford estimates the Alaska
pack at 100000 cases, the Puget
Sound pack at 427, 900 cases and the
Columbia river pack at 100000 cases.
The total estimated pack for the
three districts is 4,227 900 cases. The
pack of the same districts last year
was 4,S06,0O0 cases.
Small Output on Sound.
The Puget Sound pack will be one
of the smallest on record, and the Co
lumba river pack is also small one,
The light pack on the Sound and the
Columbia river will bring the total
pack considerably below that of last
year and will bear out predictions
made some time ago in the Post-In'

HARMONY FOR THE CAMPAIGN

Harmony and cooperation between the Re,
publican territorial central committee and the
Republican county committee is the only pro
gram that will bring Republican success to Ha.
waii this fall. "a ~ s~.
Both committees have just been organized,
and the tenor of their relations will be watched
with much interest. 1t is a fact that there is
danger of some friction between the two The
sKuhio forces dominate the territorial commit
tee absolutely, while the county committee is i'll
charge of men who, while not hostile to Kuhio,
are not enlisted in his support
Such differences must be put aside as the
party goes into the fall campaign. /. L. Nc

fare we can not count with certainty
upon reinforcing the peace garrison
of the island after a declaration Of
war, or while war is imminent. The
security of our naval base in the Pa
.cific therefore depends that the gar
rison of Oahu must be able to hold
out at all hazards until our fleet can
arrive in Hawaiian waters. This may
be taken as 40 days, assuming that
the fleet is not employed on another
mission and that the Panama canal is
open to its use.
THE minimum peace garrison Of
Oahu is therefore placed as follows:
6 regiments of infantry at maximum
statutory strength (150.men per com
.pany), 1 regiment of cavalry, at max
imum statutory strength Goo men
per troop battalions of field ar

engineers, 10 companies of coast ar

pansion of the Hawaiian National
Guard and the organization of volun-

But the foundation of defense must
rest upon trained regulars who are
familiar with the complicated ter

in the Pacific will never be attacked
except by troops of the highest skill

made before extemporized troops can

oarty leaders afte! wards decided not
to file the nominations made in con-
vention and substituted nominations
by petition, in order to couple with
them the nominations for state tic
ket. 1t just happens that the con-
vention method is the only way they
could legally nominate the electors,
and now they are left off of the bal
lot, and the ring men who manipul-
ated the matter and made the mis-
take, are blaming the Republican par

If there is any bunch that have

their convenience it is Democracy in

A CONVENIENT PHRASE,

Whenever anything happens now
that displeases Mr.. Roosevelt he says
it is infamous" and charges it up
to the interests" His Bull Moose
followers and imitators in Idaho are
getting the phrase into working or
der and have it ready to give out,
right off the reel to apply to any
thing that happens During the past
week when the word came that the
supreme court had ruled that the
Bull Moose state ticket had been leg
ally filed, and that the congressional
and electoral college candidates had
not been, men who know very little
about the law and who could give no
explanation of the legal provisions
for making nominations and who had
not read up on the matter, hearing of
the decision, Immediately made the
statements that it was an infamous
decision, BORN of political trickery
and demanded by the interests in be-
half of the Republican party. How
do men know so much and vet meet
with so little success in life?

WHAT A JOKE!

Let the people rule" has been
the slogan of Democracy until by
contrast with their actions when in
power it has become a joke. Also
the talk about controlling the trusts
and the big interests, has been the
ruling passion with Roosevelt and
the Bull Moose generally, and all the
DEVELOPMENTS of the season show
that they are being backed by the
big interests in their campaign, and
that Roosevelt was backed by them
in his former campaigns.
The plight of the honest Demo-
cat who has been accepting the
statements of leaders of his party to
the affect that Democracy is trying
to bring the exercise of governmental
privilege nearer the common people.
is pitiable in view of the action of
the party leaders this year in making
up the slate SO effectively that there
was no competition in the direct pri-
mary campaign. The common peo-
pie had been complaining about con-
vention nominations where they were
heard only through their delegates,
and this year they were not even con-
suited to that extent, the ticket being
made up by the ring leaders through
whose manipulation only one set of
names went on the ballot for the pri-
mary, and only one vote was nee
essary to nominate. The Democrats
simply went to the polls and ratified
what was laid out for them by the
leaders or voted some other ticket.

PETERSON ON PROGRESSIVE

Joseph H. Peterson, the next at
torney general of the state, is Poca-
tello boy. Long ago he drove milk
wagon here to earn enough money
to carry him through High School.
From that lowly beginning he rose
to be assistant attorney general OF
the state, position he has held for
six years with honor to himself and
credit to the Republican party. Mr..
Peterson is straight-from- the
shoulder speaker, whether on the
stump, before jury arguing a case
before the supreme court or talking
off-hand to friend.
In discussing the Bull Moose tic
ket he says:
The so-called Progressive party
In the state and nation would have
the people believe that they are the
only real progressives. That is the
We lest bosh. The Republican party,
in the state and nation, is in reality
the most progressive party in the
field. Here in Idaho the Republican
party, through the legislature, has
accomplished this: Enfranchised
women, given the people direct pri-
mary law, containing corrupt
p, actices act. enacted a local option
law and strengthened it with a
search and seizure clause, passed a
good road direct law. passed res
olution submitting to the people an
amendment to the constitution pro-
viding for the initiative and recall,
gave to the state the most complete
end effective pure food law to be
found anywhere in the United States,
created state board of health, and
enacted a state horticultural law
for the protection of the public from
fruits of all kinds and for
the protection of orchardists against
tree disease and pests gave to the
state all the irrigation laws now on
our statute books, created state
tax commission, adopted a most COM
plete school code, passed the Black
law giving the commission form of
government to cities of the state,
made large appropriations for agri-
experimental work, passed
IN efficient juvenile delinquent law
md compulsory attendance school
aw. In addition to all these and
,ther accomplishments of progress
tive nature, the Republican party in
his state today pledges itself to an
extension of time for payment upon
ands within government irrigation
,rojectes, to the creation of non
PARTISAN board of control of all state
educational institutions; to economy
II public expenditures, to needed
to the revenue laws, to
he establishment and development
# state roads and to the enactment
# workingmen's compensation act. If
his is not progressiveness, I don't
now what it is"

tors on file, that the total of special
and general taxes for the fiscal year,
ending April, 1910, 1910 not yet
available, but suppose about the
same condition exists is 1850
SO, from the various sources as fol-
lows:
General levy ....... $3.50, 131 IA
Special levy .......... 796,7309S1
State apportionment :. 196.537.97
Forest reserve ...... 12,22320
License .............. 133,439.00|
At the end of the fiscal year, the
sum of $75O,675.42 was shown to the
credit of the school district fund.
This amount deducted from the total
receipts would leave an expenditure
of 81 ,069, 380.57. This amount sup
pose was sufficient to maintain
school for the required number of
months, as well as interest ON bond
ed indebtedness. II the valuation
should be in creased to $500, 000, 900
as some think it would under the pro
posed plan, that would produce a
school tax of 100000, to say moth
ing of the special taxes--this is bound
to make an additional burden on the
taxpayer. l know of one instance
where last year, one school district
maintained their school without lev
ying special tax, and still had ST.
900 left.
Another danger of the proposed
plan is the increased bonding power
of cities and villages-true, that is a
local government, but how many are
there who have not in their own bust
ness, at times created Indebtedness,
which afterwards becomes burden
some?
If the amendment limiting the bond
ing power of the state to 100000
to be voted on at the next general
election should carry, the danger so
far as state affairs are concerned,
would be removed, but who can tell
what the result would be?
Believing that the condition, whe-
Their real or imaginary, is retarding
business and immigration to this
state and creating a condition of un-
rest and uncertainty with the citizens
that should not exist for proper de-
of the state, | am of the
opinion that no radical change should
be made at this time.
