4 piece of land. Then If the county
cannot collect under such circumstan-
ces ii has no right to attempt to collect
in the beginning. Even under patent
issued under the law recently passed
gives the government lien upon the
land for all the water payments, and
failure to make them causes the land
to the government the same as if a
patent had not been issued.
The whole thing is a farce foisted
upon the people by the county attor-
ney as a piece of politics in the hope
of defeating county division; but the
Mr.. Boutwell, had the wrong
ear to the ground and did not get the
correct idea of the sentiment Of the
people before making his coup de
maitre." The skein thus tangled must
be Strengthened out and once more the
dear people pay the freight on dirty
political plot. If there is any way to
get at the officials responsible for this
iiasco, or their bondsmen, they should
DC made to pay for their folly.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1912.
THE DEMOCRATIC TAX SCHEME.

In line with Hawley's idea of in
creased assessments on all property
it seems that the revision of taxes up
ward is sort of democratic hobby
and a tenet of the party. This is par
ticuaIly in evidence relative to patent
ed lands. A further instance comes
from Lincoln county where a demo-
cratic county attorney and democrat
1c interests have been Juggling things
with great injustice to the taxpayer.
The last issue of the Rupert Pioneer
cites an instance wherein a county at
torney deliberately and willfully man
1pulated decision to suit his own
purpose and apparently to follow the
lead set by Jim Hawley on the high
binding tax proposition. The propo-
sition as framed by that attorney
places all land on the Minadoki pro-
ject on the tax roll, and the Record
charges him with rewriting an opinion
of the attorney general and signing
and transmitting it to the county COM
missioners
1t is simply another evidence of the
outrageous and discriminating tax idea
of the democratic party and has no
reasonable basis.
The Pioneer Record thus refers to it:
All Land on this project is now on
the tax roll at the expense of an extra
trip of the assessor or his deputy over
the project, and it still remains to be
seen whether it can legally be taxed or
not.
The proposition to tax one place
and make a test case of ii was flatly |
ignored. possibly for fear that it would |
not have the desired influence on coun-
ty division; but that failed regardless |
of the attorneys plans.
AS the matter now stands it is uD
to the people of the project to refuse to
pay the taxes and force the matter to a
test, they being also forced to bear
this expense. The people of this pro-
ject are perfectly willing to pay taxes
on whaever belongs to them and to
winch they have clear title but a
reading of the reclamation laws and
their Interpretation by the department |
OF the interior fails to disclose any ,
thing which would indicate that the ,
people do own the land. The law and ,
every ruling of the department indi c
Gates that the government has first f
claim upon all land within a reclama-
ton project, even the man who loans
money upon a farm being given only
a limited time in which to protect his
interests. Should a piece of land here I
revert to the government it must do p
30 with a clear title, which simply
means that the county would have alb n
iolutely no claim for taxes upon such !,

OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES.

The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms its unfaltering allegiance
to the principles of the Republican
party as exemplified in the splendid
administrations of Presidents McKin-
ley. Roosevelt and Taft We ratify and
endorse the nominations made by our
National Convention at Chicago for
President and Vice President, and the
progressive and constructive platform
of principles there adopted. While rec
ogniZing that there existed honest diff
ferences of opinion concerning the
choice of candidates, we feel that the
best interests of our State require the
continuance in power OF Republican
National Administration In this be-
lief, and with confidence in the result
we pledge to each other and to Repub-
licans everywhere our earnest, ener-
getic and loyal support of William H.
Taft for President, and James S. Sher-
man for Vice President President
Taft has been a firm and consistent
friend of the West, and particularly of |
the State of Idaho, as is shown by his |
attitude toward such purely Western |
questions as the Borah-Jones three
year homestead bill, the various recla-
nation acts, the restoring to public en-
try of large areas of agricultural land
enormously supposed to be chiefly
in character, and particularly
by his order restoring to the State of
Idaho 100000 acres of its public school
lands which had been included within
forest reserves and of whose use the
State had been unjuStly deprived.

ENDORSEMENT OF CONGRESSION-
AL DELEGATION.

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive Republic
can legislation, and to prevent the en-
actment into law of destructive Demo-
cratic policies and we commend to the
people of Idaho such able assistance as
has been rendered in this convention
by our delegation in Congress, Sena-
tors Hepburn and Borah and Repre-
sentative French We especially COM
mend to the voters of Idaho the bril-
liant and constructive craftsmanship
shown by Senator Borah as evidenced
by his successful advocacy of such
important questions as the three-year
homestead bill the direct election of
senators and his work for the estab-
lishment of a bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
measures.

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary law passed by a
Republican Legislature and wisely
amended by the succeeding Legisla-
ture, has placed in the hands of the
people the nomination of all State and
County officers. Further amendments
to this law will from time to time be-,
come necessary, and such desirable
as experience may sug
gest we pledge the party to enact. We
declare at the present time that this
law should be so amended as to require
each voter at the time of registration
to declare his party affiliations to the

OF REVENUE LAWS.

We regret and deplore the unwise
policy of the Democratic Governor of
this State in inaugurating and insist
ing upon q full cash value taxation of
property in the year 1911, before the
necessary changes in our fixed levies,
based upon lower valuation, could be
made, thus causing all the taxpayers
and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and IN
necessary taxes. The. present reve-
nue. law while being an improvement
in some particulars over the old law, is
still far from being a solution of the
tax problem, and we pledge the Repub-
lican party to further legislation to
correct existing evils.

end that voting of the primary ticket
of one party by members of any other
party may be prevented Such an
amendment was passed by the last Re-
publican Legislature and we denounce
as petty, party politics the act Of the
Democratic Governor of this State in
vetoing it. We condemn the Demo-
cratic party of this State for it's at
tempt to nullify the provisions of the
uirect Primary Law by fixing up
States" of candidates for the various
offices, State and County, and pre-
venting more than one candidate from
filing for each office, in order that
of the Democratic party may
help nominate Republican candidates
at the primary election.

STATE ROADS

We favor the policy of developing

Importance of the establishment of a
State road into the Yellowstone
National Park and the park to be
opened to automobile traffic, and that
our Senators and Representatives in
Congress be requested to use every eff
fort possible to this end.
