low, recognizing that on the growth
and de, eiopment of these institutions
depends the upbuilding of the moral
and intellectual welfare of the youth
of Idaho. And to this end we urge
the legislature to take up and pass the
appropriation bills for all educational
lrd charitable institutions as soon az
~ conveniiy ,.s possible and before

te taken up.
Direct Primary Law.
The direct primary law passed by a
epubican legislature and wisely
mendsd by the succeeding legislature
las placed in the hands ol the people
he nomination of all state and county
officers. Further amendments to this
L w will from time to time become
necessary and such desirable amend
.ents as experience may suggest We
ledge the party to enact. We declare
1T the present time that this law
hould be so amended as to require
tch voter at the time of registration
I declare his party affiliations to tn
end that voting of the primary tickle
one party by members of AIRY other
rty may be prevented. Such an
mondment was passed by the last re

q petty party politics the act of q
democratic governor Of this state in
etoing it. We condemn the demo- rat
rIy Of this state for it's attempt t.
l. .llify the provisions of the di, eot pri

State Lands.
Z Under existing methods Of IL sposine
our state lands, centuries would
lapse ere they are all sold and the adj
ministrative costs WILL in the mean
line, be enormous. We, therefore
hedge ourselves to submit for approval
constitutional amendment that will
permit of their sale in annually in.
reasing quantities at not less than the
minimum price Of SO per acre.
Amendment Of Revenue Laws.
We regret and deplore the unwise
olicy OF the democratic governor Of
this state in inaugurating and insisting
lpon a full cash value taxation of pro-
,erty in the year 1911, before the ne
cessary changes in our fixed levies.

within tie state the best system "
Oa lis and highways which the state Is
BILE to support. We favor state and
