Why Vote Democratic?

If you have always done SO, doubtless you have

But if you haven t-and most people haven twhy

In the nation, you vote for Roosevelt if you do
not like Taft and do far better than voting democratic
You stay republican and by voting orthe repub

best the state had The democrats endorsed
him at the primaries, too but of course they wouldn't
vote for him in the legislature. No Idahoan with lit

Apples and Peaches
First EUer GrOWn on Richfeld Tract
--Great Promise for Future

Niels Johnson this week brought
in the first apple and the first peach
raised on the Richfield tract. They
were grown on his place at Marley,
five miles southwest of Richfield.
The apple, which is of the White
Winter Pearmain variety, has a few
marks made by the heavy hail of
two months ago, but is sound and
clean. The peach is as fine as any
one could wish; it is from a tree
set out three years ago. There are
other apples on the tree that bore
the one shown here in town, but
the peach was alone of its kind to
survive the hail storm. Mr.. John
scnJJJhas had the peach preserved
in alcohol, to exhibit at the Rich
field Day fair He is especially we'll
pleased with the peach; for, while
no one has considered this an ideal
peach country, this is positive pre-.
that it will produce such fruit, and

TOMATOES GROW HERE.
Richfield Farmer Succeeds With the
New Blight-Proof Method.

f. S. Stewart living west of town,
is enc of the most successful gar
deners on the tract AS one addi-
ticnal proof, he brought in this weel
as fine a 1t of tomatoes as anyone
would wish to see Five of them
weighed four pounds, the largest
being full pound in weight. They
were as smooth and perfect as any
that ever carried off a prize at 6
state fair. 1t has been generally be-
lieved that the tomato is not a
safe crop for Idaho, because of be-
ing so subject to blight, and even
the canning factories, which need
ne tomato to make their business
success, have accepted the YER
di,t as final The tomato grows
vonderfully, but the blight attacks
it and practically ruins the crop. At
the Lewiston-Clarkston agricultural
school, however, this was not ac-
repted as an irremedial disease, and
ind a way of growing tomatoes sue
cessfully 1t was found that by
planting over a bed of manure, the
plants would grow and mature full
crop without appreciable blight. By
following this plan, plcwing deep
furrow to be filled with barnyard
refse, ucovering this with layer
of soil in which to set the plants,
and then not oer-watering, Mr.. Stew
art has raised these perfect toma-
foes. He believes they can easily
be made profitable crop here.

When Senator Shawhan, probably

and came back to say that he be-

Richfield tract should produce a

and that if he owned land here, it
would be his first care to put out a

all the other expert advice that this

At its meeting in Boise a few
i days ago, the republican state cen

declared valid and regular the act

committee which chose e. r. Dam

be a rational doubt of their legal
election
1t is expected that an active cam
paign will be begun at once, and
that no republican or doubtful voter
will be left to go astray politically
when the facts warranting the cleo
ton of republican candidates are
all that need to be made known to
secure them the support they merit.

No announcement has been made
of the plans for the democratic cam

unusually hard fight, believing that
in the national mix-up they have an
unusually good chance town recog

600 against them, however, even the

PAY LESS TAXSS.
County Levy Higher In Rate, Lower
In Reality.

III
1t will be good news to taxpay-
ers that taxes will not be so high
this year as they were last. The
countycommissione have just fin
ished making the general levy for
the coming year, a total of $2.55 on
each S1O0 assessed valuation. 1t
is a higher rate than last year. ii
Is true; but since the legislature
only 40 percent CT the full cash
value of the property. the amount
of money will be smaller. as the
increase in levy is not nearly so
large as the decrease in taxable val
uation. The local school tax will be
lower, as is also the municipal levy
as it is now figured; so the property
owner has a chance for his life.
The commissioners also levied the
special road poll tax which they
are permitted to impose at their dis
c.eiion, and made It 81 10 the lin
it fixed by law This tax is to be
paid by every able-bodied man be-
tween the ages of 21 and So The
last legislature cut QUIT he clause
making this tax effective on every
voter, without regard to sex, age,
or physical incapaoity to pay it or
to earn a living.
