SMOOT SCORES A POINT


complied some information showing
to what extent the farmer Is getting
the advantage in the rapid changes
commonly referred to when people
talk of the high cost of living. The
senator makes comparisons to see
what vas the exchange value OF fif-
teen of the staple articles produced
by farmers in buying rs staple a IL
cles consumed by the average Amer
lean home. 1t includes range OF
things produced in all parts of the
United States, and shows the ex-
change values in 1896 and 1911 at
the same season of the year, and in
the sixteen years embraced in the
comparison the increased advantage
has been always in the farmres fav-
OR. For example:
Ten bushels of corn eqlaled in val
ue 46 pounds of Rio coffee in Deem
Der, 1911 and 23 pounds in Deem
Der, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value Is gallons of New Orleans mo-
lasses in December, 1911 and 7 gal
Ions in December, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in val
ue 7 barrels of salt in December,
1911, and 4 barrels in December
1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value 1913 pounds of granulated sug-
ar in December, 1911 and Sc pounds
in December, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value 10 pards of Amoskeag ging-
ham in December, 1911, and As yds.
in December, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value "A gallons of refined petroleum
in December 1911, and 23 gallons in
December, 1895.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value $50 pounds of galvanized barb
ed wire in December, 1911. and 1T
pounds in December, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value 433 pounds of S-penny wire
nails in December, 1911, and 10
pounds in December, 1896.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value l ,066 common brick in Deem
be-, 1911. and $50 in December,
1895.
Ten bushels of corn equaled in
value barrels of Portland cement
in December, 1911, and 1-2 barrels
in December, 1896.
The tables show the value in 1911
and at a corresponding date in 1896
of corn, wheat cotton, oats, rye, bar
ley, hay, hops, potatoes, fiaxseed, fat
cattle, fat hogs, dairy butter, and
fresh eggs, with the farmer receiv-
ing vastly more for his product in ex-
change in 1911 than he did in 1895
at the close of a Democratic admin
istration. If Roosevelt succeeds in
delivering the nation again into the
hands of Democracy to carry out
their reform measures, the farm
er may fare worse, and all history
shows that people in cities and towns
suffer first and suffer worst of all.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

A lot of people have been agitat-
ing for the initiative, referendum
and recall, and in the present cam
paign it is up to the voters of Idaho
to decide whether or not they want
it. 1t comes up in the adoption or re-
jecting of the proposed constitutional
amendments published elsewhere in
this paper, and every voter has a
chance to say what is preferred. No
matter what party you are aligned
with, the present administration puts
it up to you to say when you want.
1t puts the burden of studying the
details of law making on the people
instead of upon their representatives
and we predict that if it is adopted,
most people will find it too much
trouble to give their attention to it
and will not vote upon public
questions any more than they do at
the primaries now. They won't
have time"
Under such system there is a
great deal of printing to be done and
it makes business for newspapers,
but Notwithstanding this. when the
question was sprung at big meeting
of the press clubs of Idaho in Boise
in 1910 it reused the prettiest fight
of the session and was voted down
with a whoop after the discussion.
Some members of the legislature
have been in the habit of calling the
newspaper men set of grafters, but
there is no more obstinate bunch in
any business than they are about
saying aud voting what they think,
regardless of business considerations,

ROAD ROLLER FOR POTTER

Senator Clayton Potter, the valiant
scion from Jackson, does not appear
to have learned how to get out of the
way of legislative steam roller. Pot
ter was fiattened out like a pancake
during the extraordinary session by
Franklin of the "Thirty-first, THE lead
err OF the Noel administration forces.
Senator Potter was run down. fiat
tened out and crippled during the
morning session, before the session
fairly started, and it all came about
when he placed in nomination the
name of Hubert Rachford for the ap-
pointment as sergeant-at-arms of the
senate. The steam roller went over
Potter and Rachford.
Still full of fight, Senator Potter
bobbed up when nominations were in
order for candidates for doorkeeper.
He put forward the name of J. A.
Smythe, of Jackson, as an aspirant,
and Potter and Smythe were crushed
under the roller, the candidate getting
only five votes, and being eliminated
from the balloting before much prog
ress had been made
Still with taste of the bitter de-
feat, but with a fat sm''o on his club
counteance. Senator Potter arose
