RATIFICATION OF THE NATIONAL
PLATFORM AND CANDIDATES.

The Republican party of Idaho here
by reaffirms it's 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
If 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 a 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
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 it's public school
lands which had been included within
forest reserves and of whose use the
State had been unjustly deprived.

VOTERS AND TAXATION.

AS the campaign SINNERS to con-
sideration of the actual points of issue.
we have a well defined contest between
Taft and Wilson for president. Beyond
that, interest is conferred in the affairs
of the state of Idaho The most vital
matter for the voters consideration is
the tax proposition. Hawley has given
the taxpayer and freebooter of Idaho
the worst of it. He resurrected an an
tiquated law that did not provide for
a just and equitable levy and the con-
sequence Is that the increase in valu-
alton is lightweight millions more
during 1912 than it was last year.
A carefully tabulated comparison
has been made from the figures on file
in the office of the state auditor, has
been properly certified, and the aver
age taxpayer can see at glance and
figure for himself how he has been
made to bear the burden of Hawley's
outrageous imposition. A statement of
facts will be placed in the hands of
voters, and, after reading it. there
would be little excuse for the taxpayer
to further tolerate Hawley's admins
tration.
An immense sum will be raised on

DIRECT PRIMARY LAW.

The direct primary law passed by a
Republican Legislature and wisely

people the nomination of all State and
County officers. Further amendments

come necessary, and such desirable
amendments as experience may sug-

We heartily endorse the effort made

people of Idaho such able assistance as

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 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.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.

Our system of public educational in
situations should be the first concern
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-
ton bills for all educational and char
table institutions as soon after con-
eniHg as possible, aud before the other
work of the Legislature shall be taken

AMENDMENT OF REVENUE LAWS.

We regret and deplore the unwise
policy of the Democratic Governor of
this State in inaugurating and insist
ing upon full cash value taxation of
property in the year 1911, before the
necessary changes in our fixed levies,
based upon a lower valuation, could be
made, thus causing all the taxpayers
and particularly those of the farming
class, to pay largely increased and I'M
necessary taxes. The present reye-
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.

without Gripping the public service.
