orsat Applause For Derah.
Great applause was given Senator
Borah - he arose to address the mag
nificent audience. He said In part: Il
feel in coming back 70 the people Of
Idaho after six years OF service. 1t IL
the privilege and duty Of the people to
interrogate me In regard to anything
concerning the interests Of this state.
am here to report what l shall try to

"sincs 1854 there has not been such
breaking up Of party lines and such
political turmoil a. there 10 in this
campaign. There must be q profound
reason for this attitude on the part Of
the people.
mo government ever suffered by too
much attention given to 1t on the part
Of the people.
There are those who believe We are
approaching q revolution, and there are
those who honestly believe It IL wrong
for the people to have too much power.
Let Us not be disturbed. have no
fear that II the government we have Is
properly controlled by the people, all
will be made good and right.
Subtle and Silent Changes.
''The subtle and silent changes that
have taken place in our government
while the people have been non -atten-
tive to governmental affairs are tho
things that are endangering our well
fare. One Of these subtle changes IL
the change in the income tax law. For
over 100 years this nation had an ef-
fective Income tax law. In 1894 an in
come tax bill passed by congress was
held unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court.
undertake to say tonight that I'M
til the tax question in this country IL
settled 1t will be impossible to revise
the tariff downward.
THE masses Of the people all over
the country should demand Of their
representatives in congress that they
legislate in the peoples behalf and not
In behalf of party organizations. I op-
pose any man who hides behind his
party for his legislative acts. l am
In favor Of party organizations. but 1
believe in the individual responsibility
OF senators and congressman to the
people direct. (Great applause)
Il would not for one moment want
to 60 back to the United States senate
II had to compromise myself on the
positions I have taken upon these pub
lie questions" (Applause.)
The control of the trusts was then
taken up by the senator. I'VE spend
all our time denouncins the trusts. and
the magnates spend all their time in
making US pay for denouncing Them"
he said.
