SCIENTIFIC FARMING.

With the aid Of scientific rotation
Of crops and farms properly equipped
with live stock, we are going to dou.
bic acreage production in America.
Some OF the best brains in the
world are now at work on this prob.
lem, and knowledge is being put be.
fore the people as never before in all
history.
Greece and Rome went down to
their death simply because they neg
lected the fields and population cen.
tered in the cities.
Until very recent times in Ameri,
ca, the population in the cities IN
crossed much faster than in the coun
try, but now there is return move
ment. Gasoline has a deal to do with
the proposition. Automobiles, motor
trucks and tractors are having their
sure and certain influence.
And with gasoline must come good
roads. Agriculture has never been
ieally Respectable IN America because
Il WAS not profitable. Pioneer people
are always reckless and extravaganl
in the use OF natures products. This
period of waste, 1t seems, must be
gone through with in the life OF {
nation, just as 1t has to in the life o
the individual.

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
amendments 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
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
Direct 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
members Of the Democratic party may
help nominate Republican candidates
at the primary election.

VOICE OF THE PRESS

HALEY Times: This year the farm
ers are being paid II per cent more
for their products than last year. But
the democrats would change all that
and probably give us another spell OF
prices such as in 1896, when wheat
In the Inland Empire and Idaho sold
for 12R cents bushel, horses weigh
ing at least 1000 pounds were not al
ways salable at S. head, lead at two
cents a pound, wool at five cents a
pound, and everything else in proper
ton, while the millions of idle laborers
could not get enough to eat or clothe
themselves, and Coxey's armies OVER
ran the country from the Pacific coast
to New Orleans and to Washington,
ID. c. Hard times have invariably fol-
lowed close upon the triumph of the
democratic party at the polls.

ENDORSEMENT OF COMPRESSION
AL DELEGATION.

We heartily endorse the effort made
by the Republican members in Con-
gress to secure constructive Republi-
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 tho voters of Idaho the brill
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 bureau of child labor,
and the enactment of other progressive
Republican measures.

ROOSEVELT AND
RECIPROCITY ISSUE
INSINCERITY AND DEMAGOGlSM
OF THIRD TERM CAN
DIDATE SHOWN.
WHY HE SHIFTED POSITION
He Not Only Favored Reciprocity but
Wrote President Taft That He
Firmly Believed In Free Trade
With Canada.

Although reciprocity is now dead
issue, it Is worth while, for the en-
liehtenment of those who oppose
President Taft for his endorsement
of reciprocity, to recall the position
taken by Colonel Roosevelt upon that
question. Mr. Roosevelt favors free
trade with Canada and was an ardent
advocate and supporter OF reciprocity
until he found that It's endorsement
would not help him in his third term
race.
President Taft, while he was con-
sidering the question OF reciprocity,
naturally consulted with ex-President
Roosevelt. He knew that Mr.. Roose-
Welt had been president, that he was
familiar with the subject and that he
was. at that time, good and loyal
Republican When, In the course OF
a lengthy letter, he asked Mr.. Roose-
yelt's advice. he reviewed both sides
of the matter In impartial fashion.
Mr.. Roosevelt's reply was not only a
full endorsement but he went SO FAR
az to advocate absolute free trade
with Canada. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
as follows:
Roosevelt for Free Trade With Canada.
New York. Jan. IL, 1911.
Dear Mr.. President:
It seems to me that what you pro-
nose to do with Canada Is admirable
from every standpoint firmly be-
lleve In free trade with Canada for
both economic and political reasons.
AS you say, labor cost Is substantially
the same in the two countries. so
that you are amply justified by the
platform. Whether Canada will &C
cept such reciprocity do not know.

RATIFICATION 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
II 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 Fl.
Taft for President, and James s. Sher-
man for Vice President. President
Taft has been 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-

STATE ROADS

We favor the policy of developing
within the State the best system of
roads and highways which the State Is
able to support. We favor State and
Government cooperation and aid in
building State and Interstate roads.
and particularly do we emphasize the
Importance of the establishment of
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.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Our system Of public educational IN

of the people of the State. We therefore
pledge the Republican party of this
State to maintain the integrity of these
institutions, and to support each of
them in maintenance in growth as far
as the finances of the State will allow,
recognizing that on the growth and de-
velopment of these institutions depends
the upbuilding of the moral and intel
lectual welfare of the youth of Idaho.
And to this end we urge the Legisla
ture to take up and pass the appropria-

policy of the Democratic Governor of
this State in inaugurating and insist

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 un-
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.
