HAWLEY "PRAcTIcAL BUSINESS
MAN?" 4aH

7AWLEY "PHACTlCAl BUSINESS
MAN?n
Standpoint Review: I'm the editorial
column of the last issue of the News
appears this remarkable statement:
"The strongest impression the gov.
ernor left behind him was his pre-.
eminent capacity as a man of at
fairs"
Whatever may be said In favor of
Governor Hawley, and there are
things to say, none of them require
more exercise of the Imagination
than to call him practical business
man." His conduct of the office of
governor has been SO theoretical and
so barren of any real results that
southern idaho rings with the de-
mand for business man instead of
q lawyer for governor.
The one great event of Governor
Hawleys administration was his full
cash value propaganda. whatever
the merits Of this proposition in the
abstract, the governors handling Of
the matter was the most inopportune
and unbusinesslike affair In the his
tory Of the state.
The governor took his seat In Jam
uary, 1911, and the state legislature
convened at the same time. The law
calling for full cash value was then
on the statute books. fact to which
the governors attention was publicly
called. Had he then announced his
intention of enforcing the law, the
legislature would have had an oppor-
tundty to make provision for the revo-
luton. Instead of doing this. he
waited until the session adjourned.
His proclamation and law-enforce-
ment crusade threw the revenues of
the state into turmoil such as It had
never before encountered Not being
a business man. he did not foresee the
difficulties which arose. He struggled
along for a year. occasionally revers-
ing himself and being reversed by the
supreme court, his threats of prose-
cution OF assessors who did not obey
turned out to be the rawest of bluffs,
surplus funds piled up in some places
while serious deficieces occurred i'm
others, and the state got a lot of adj
vertising abroad from which it will
not soon recover. Then came his
practically an admission of
his error; he convened the first spe-
cial session i'm the history of the
state, session that cost the taxpay-
ers some $4,000. 1t must not be sup
posed that this was the only expense
resulting from the movement Prac-
tically ala the assessors, besides an
army of county commissioners, coun-
ty attorneys and representatives of
taxpayers have been called to Boise,
the assessors four times during the
administration. The expense of
these gatherings run up into thous-
ands
What are the net results? AS Mr..
Haines very justly says. For results.
look at your tax receipt"
This was Governor Hawleyis great
business crusade" 1t was a ire
mendous fiasco, attended by terrific
expnese. 1t was the result of lack of
business experience or ability on the
part of the governor. 1t was theory
without foresight, 1t was criminal
lawyer trying to run a business insti-
tuition, 1t was self-confessed failure.
