UNLAWFUL TO SHIP
DISEASED FRUIT
GOODING CITIZEN FINED FOR
HANDLING APPLES FROM HIS
RANCH AT CALDWELL.

C. b. Brannan, Deputy Horticul-
tural Inspector for this district was
in Gooding several days this week
and while here arrested c. b. Mar
latt for shipping In apples that we've
infected with the San Jose scale and
the Codding moth. One rundred
boxes of the fruit were seized and
covered with coal oil and Mr.. Marlatt
was fined s2e and costs.
The fine in cases of this KIND
ranges from $25 to $500.
The apples were shipped to Good
ing by Mr. Marlatt from his ranch
al Caldwell and considerable num-
Der of boxes were sold before the in
spection was apprised that they were
diseased. Mr.. Marlatt himself was
said to be not aware that he was
breaking any law.
If the laws regulating the hand
ling of fruit are properly enforced
it will be but few years until Idaho
fruit will be demanding a premium In
all markets and the State Horticui-
tural Department should receive the
hearty support of all who have the
best interests of the, State at heart.
Mr.. Marlatts case should be warn
ing to all shippers of fruit In this
section of the State at least.

QUESTIONS ARE
PUT TO CANDIDATES
FOR LEGISLATURE
TOUCHING THEIR ATTITUDE ON
THE AMENDMENT FOR DIRECT
LEGISLATION.

We have already given the sub
stance of the opposition to the pres
ent form of the initiative as pro-
posed in the new constitutional
amendment on that subject, the same
having been fully treated by Victor
o. Johnson, who prepared is as vice
president of the Direct Legislation
League of Idaho. Based on this op-
position the league has prepared and
sent out certain questions to the
legislative candidates, as follows.
l. If elected will you work for
an honest and efficient Initiative
amendment to our Constitution sim
liar to that now in force in Cali
fornia or Oregon?
VIII you favor the adoption of
initiative measures by majority of
the vote cast thereon, or do you
demand majority of "All votes cast
for Governor?"
8. Do you believe that persons who
are too ignorant or too indifferent to
vote upon a proposition should be
counted against it?
A. Do you favor self-executing pro-
visions making the Initiative effect
i've by the adoption of the amend
ment, or do you prefer to leave the
subject wholly under the control of
Legislatures?
s. Do you favor applying the Ini-
tiative to constitutional amendments
or do you prefer to limit it to the
enactment of ordinary statutes?
6. Are you in favor of the standard
per cents on petitions, 5 percent for
the Referendum and percent for
the Initiative, like Oregon and Cali
fornia, or do you want more than
this, and if so what?
Mr.. Johnson contends that in it's
present form the initiative is anull-
ity because it provides that ma
jority of the vote cast for Governor
shall be required to secure such leg
islation which is manifestly impos-
sible at any time to obtain. This
amounts to counting against such
Legislation every vote not cast at
Ill.

B0RAH, BORDEN, EVANS and
ADAMS ARE ENDORSED
THE COUNTY PROGRESSIVES ACT

The Progressive party in. Lincoln
County was fully organized Thursday
night at a meeting held at the Com
mercial Club rooms in Gooding. when
firm allegiance was declared for the
party in National and State affairs
by endorsement of the Chicago plat
form of the party and the candidates
named thereon.
The party came out strong and un-
equivocably for the return of Borah
to the United Statets Senate, in the
following resolution:
We cherish in common with the
people of the great West irrespective
of political creed or affiliation the
highest esteem and regard for our
distin guished United States Senator.
William E. Borah, who has SO faith
fully and so ably defended and pro-
tected our rights and interests in the
Congress of the United States, and
we therefore pledge our earnest sup
port and best efforts to secure his
reelection. To this end we favor
supporting for election c. F. Borden
for State Senator and R. L. Adams
and E. Ralph Evans for Representa-
tives, these candidates having
pledged themselves in writing over
their own signatures that if elected
they will vote for and use all honor
able means to secure his reelection.
Another resultion strongly con-
demned the Republican party in its
action at Chicago, but this was eli
in the final draft of the dec
laration of principles of the party.
The party went no further in its
resolutions for or against any body.
There were representatives present
from Gooding, Shoshone, Richfield
and other parts of the county, number
ing perhaps a score or more. The
meeting was not open to the public
nor to the press. Plans for the or
of clubs in every school
district were arranged and the fullest
esthusiasm prevailed in all matters
except the adoption of rejection of
certain resolutions

COMES OUT STRONG
FOR ROOSEVELT
CHARLEY FINLAYSoN AND OTHER
PROMINENT RESIDENTS QUOTED
IN THE CAPITAL NEWS.

Charles S. F1nlayson, who with other
prominent residents of Shoshone, in
Guiding Gilbert ]. White. B. A. Diesel
and w C. Custer, was at Boise last
week, is quoted by the Capital News
as follows on the political situation
"The Progressives OF Shoshone were
not a bit discouraged because of the
decision of the supreme court refus
ing to permit the names of the cleo
tors TO be printed on the ballots" said
Mr. F'inlayson, but they are resolved
TO fight all the harder. In the resent
nnent following the first impulse,
many declared they would never be
forced to vote for Taft as was the
intention of those who brought about
the action of the court. but would
vote for Wilson first as rebuke to
the methods adopted. This feeling,
however has been abandoned. since
it has been learned that an organized
effort will be made to write in the
names OF the electors. and every voter
will go to the polls armed with a lead
pencil to vote for Roosevelt
Mr. Finlayson, Mr. Diesel and Mr.
Custer We're speaking of the proper
tion of Roosevelt supporters there
were in and about Shoshone. Mr. Fin
iayson. whose business takes him into
contact with all classes, declared that
more than rs per cent would vote the
Progressive ticket. Mr. Diesel de-
c]ared that in his school district there
will not be a single vote for any other
candidate except Roosevelt and VIII
son. Mr.. Custer declared he wanted
to be conservative and to be on the
safe side He rather thought Wilson
would get a third of the votes and
Roosevelt the major portion OF the
balance with Taft a poor third.
Just at that moment Mr. White, who
had stepped away from the party, re-
turned and was asked:
How about IL. Mr.. White; settle
his dispute for US; what proportion
OF the voters of Shoshone precinct will
vote for Roosevelt7"
Between IS and rs per cent" was
his prompt reply. made without
knowledge Of what the others had said

The office of the County Commits
sioners has never been filled by more
worthy public servants than Messrs.
Taper. Nelson and Jensen may fairly
be expected to prove themselves to be.
The second of these is now in the
office and will carry experience with
him into the discharge of his duties,
valuable alike to his associates and
the taxpayers, whom as a body they
are to serve. The new men are cap

Fortunately in their selection in the
primaries there was not then ram

apparent and the choice fell upon
them without regard to the divisions
that now rend their party over Ma

ever. that they are all Progressives

from top to bottom. We should
place the office of County ATTORNEY
next on the list, because it is a part
of his official duty to advise the
Board of Commissioners and other
County officers frequently in the
discharge of their duties. This
Judge Aubolee will do faithfully and
well, because he is sound lawyer
ripe in experience. He is by no means
a political pettifogger who if elected
will set up shop to play politics at
Shoshone. Judge Aubolee is not that
manner of man.
Judge Aubolee has conducted a
dignified campaign for the office of
County Attorney. He is a substan-
tiai citizen as well as a sound law
vera man of real worth to the
community. He has never sought
public office before in Lincoln
County. The voters would make no
mistake in selecting him as their
