What this women's vote would

THE TAXPAYERS NECK.

A recent report of State Auditor
Taylor states: Another weak ele
ment in the Idaho tax laws is theil
administration. More than $4,000.
600 in revenue is collected for the
state, the counties and the towns OF
Idaho each year. Great as this sum
is, there is no head to the tax depart
ment of the state"
And in face of that circumstance
Governor Hawley assumes to inter.
pref the law and administer it on the
basis that the taxpayer must be sub
jected to constant hold-up. The
increase in valuations of 1911 over
1910 in something terrific, in many
instances the patented land increase
being as high as 279 per cent and
other property increase running close
to an increase of nearly 200 per
cent. Truly, another term of Haw-
ley, with pet outrage of that char
acter, coupled with extra sessions of
the legislature. and expensive and
incompetent state departmental ad-
ministration and the tax payer would
be guessing for a place to alight.
However, with an administration
such as Hawley Is giving the people
it is necessary, perhaps, that con-
siderable fund must of necessity be
filched from the taxpayers that ex-
pensive ornaments like game wardenN
Gray may cover the year without
deficit. Some other departments are
in the same light, and the taxpayers
money has been spent with lavish
hand.
Seemingly a business man would
take a better care of the interests of
the state, as lawyer-politicians are
100 fond of the public purse. -Hager-

SOCIALISTS BIG CLAIMS

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Eugene v
Debs' the Socialist party candidat
for president, believes he will Doll a
least 100000 votes in the comm,
election. This belief is shared by hi
campaign managers and is based nm
on reports recently received from tn,
party workers in every section of the
country. The total Socialist vote in
the national election in 1904 was
4O2,2S3 and four years ago the vote
reached 420,793 IN, both these
elections the party. had the same
presidential candidate as this year.
With the same standard bearer il
could scarcely be expected that the
party vote would more than double,
unless public sentiment has under
gone surprising change within four
years. .s.,.
The men who are managing the So
cialist campaign declare that they are
in receipt of advices indicating wide
spread satatisfaction with the candi-
lates Of the oil parties. They be-
lieve that both Taft and Wilson will
suffer greatly from reflections by
which Debs, even more than Roose-
welt, will benefit. The aggregate of
these reflections, so they state, will
be more than sufficient to roll up a
million votes for the Socialist nation
al ticket.
Heretofore New York State has
polled the largest socialist vote. Next
in the order named come Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin,
In the last election in Massachusetts

The Socialists also expect to make
great gains in the far west. On the
Pacific slope California gave the
largest Socialist vote four years ago.
This year the confidence of the party
in that section of the coun-
try is SO great that predictions are
even made that Nevada will elect

THE EXTENSION OF ELECTRO
CITY.

We learn that it is the intention
of the new Idaho Consolidated Pow
er company to supply electric curren
for heating purposes as soon as thu
new power plant at American Fall.
is completed. This should be of con
siderable interest to the residents o1
Pocatello, Blackfoot and American
Falls, because it has been shown
p. city conclusively at this time that
no other form of heat, whether coal
oil, or gas, can compete with electric
heat in convenience. cleanliness, or
general adaptability.
Electricity has been used extensive
ly for heating purposes in the Twin
Falls country for the past three or
four years with very satisfactory re-
suits, there being, so We are inform
ed over one thousand electric stoves
connected last winter. The remark
able growth of the electric heating
business is the result Of the wonder
full natural conditions that exist in
southern Idaho. There is an increas-
ing demand for electric power for
irrigation pumping during the sum-
mcr. The same generating machin-
cry therefore that is used for pump
ing during the irrigating season may
be utilized for heating purposes dur
ing the winter. Nowhere else in the.
world do {. lar conditions exist and
nowhere else is electricity used for
heating and pumping to the extent
that it is in southern Idaho. 4
We are told that electric heating
is usually done at fiat rate basis The
residence or place of business is ex-
amined and recommendations given
as to the size of installation required.
Agreements for heat are made to
cover six, seven or eight months
period as desired and the customer is
to use his stoves as many
hours of the day as he thinks neces-
sary during that time. Where hot
water heating system has been al
ready installed, electric hot water
heaters may be installed to take the
place of the furnace.
Electric cooking and hot water
heating has became very popular in
some sections of southern Idaho, and
an effort will be made so the officials
Of the new company inform us, to
,opularize it in Pocatello. This Sec
ion of Idaho is due for an era of /
electrical development unsurpassed
n any other portion of the state.
While little has been accomplished in
his vicinity thus far in the way Of
electric cooking, heating and pump
ng for irrigation, the opportunity for
advancement is at hand and no doubt
he growth will far surpass our most
hopeful antic'pations.
Taking in every consideration and
our prospects with other
there are very few cities
