GOOD REASONS FOR
HAWLEYS REELECTION
The Able Administration of Gov.
Hawley Evokes Universal
Praise from Press

The following from the Poca-
tello Chronicle, one OF the most
ably edited democratic papers in
Idaho, gives a few reasons for
the reelection OF James H. Haw-
ley for governor:
"Governor James II. Hawley
should be reelected to the posi-
tion which he has so admirably
filed for the post two years.
"The constitution of the state
OF Idaho says that all property
must be assessed at its full cash
value.
every governor that Idaho
has had, knew this to be the law
of the state. but no governor, to
the time OF Hawley, had back
bone sufficient to insist that
this provision of the constitution
be enforced. The reason proba-
bly, being that they knew that
such a move would call down
upon them the wrath of the big
money interests of the state,
which, un er our old system Oi

legislative enactments as were
detrimental to the assessing of
property at its full cash value, las
provided by the constitution.
This the legislature, being repub-
lican and therefore politically
antagonistic to the democratic
governor, would not do.
"Then did Governor Hawley,
true to his oath of Office, true to
the promises he made to the
people of this state, stand forth,
as the man that he is, and de-
mand that the provision of the
constitution of the state relative
to full cash value assessment be
complied with, and in order that
this enforcement of the law
might work no unnecessary
hardship upon the people, he
caused to be called a special ses.

way might be cleared for such an
enforcement But the legislature
(republican) had no mind to
serve and save the interests ol
the people when, in so doing,
they MIGHT enhance the reputa-
tion of democratic governor
and through him the democratic
partv. Therefore. instead o.
giving the people relief, they com
