gress that the democratic house would
not pass this bill hee1uSe Il did NOT
wish to give the republicans any credit
for a measure desitned to benefit
workmen.
In order to help the laborers in
Panama, however, Mr.. Taft has found
that he does not need the sanction
of congress.
Under the Panama Canal act the
President received authority to make
laws for the zone by executive order.
Within the next few weeks he expects
to proclaim that I workmen's COM
pensation act, greatly similar to that
which passed the senate. but which
failed in the house in the last session

ed the bill that failed 70 suit the needs
of the gone. and. the president has sent
the new draft to Panama for the ap-
approval of the officials there.

JUST APPLES.

The suns OF September have brought
the rosy blush to the cheeks OF the
apples and the sound of the picker Is
heard once more in our orchards.
It is impossible to fully appreciate
what apples will mean to this COM
munity in the matter of four or Ave
short years. Wenatchee has about
5000 acres of bearing apple trees. To-
day there are half mile OF wagons
standing in line loaded with the big.
luscious fruit. waiting their turn at
the big packing sheds.
In one orchard alone there are 1900
acres of trees that will come into
bearing in Canyon county IN few
year. Along the Caldwell Traction
line there 10000 acres. Thousands
and thousands of acres have been
planted to orchards that will be bear
ing within FIVE years-in full maturity.
1t takes 10 men to care for an acre Of
apples. One car load Of apples comes
from each acre. To imagine what this
means to Canyon county. to Caldwell.
Is difficult.
II these trees are not cut down,
Caldwell will be Z city of 5000 peo-
pie in FIVE years Canyon county, in
stead of the present population, will
bring peace and prosperity to over =
quarter million people. This number
will be required to take care of the
fruit crop
The marketing Of this immense crop
will require great sums of money.
The banks, the general business of the
city, will benefit. Increased railroad
facilities and the thousand and one
things that 60 to make prosperity
will come. Caldwell is in the center
of the greatest irrigated district in the
world. She will profit and her sons
will profit.
In the face Of these facts that can
not be contraverted, the people Of
Canyon should remember what Z
Democratic rule means. No matter
how much we would like to see this
or that man elected to the presidency
of the United States. no matter how
we would like to see this or that pet
theory PUT into practice, we must not
close our eyes to facts. In the past 50
years the republican party has been a
party Of progress, steady, consistent
progress. Men of undoubted integrity
and progressive principles like LaFol-
lette declare that Taft must be elected.
Senator Borah declares that outside
of the Republican party he has no
hope to have enacted into law those
progressive principles for which he has
contended for the past six years.
President Taft may not be your par
ticular choice for president. but Presi-
dent Taft 10 not the Republican party
He 10 merely = working art. neces-
sary if we are to expect full benefit
from the principles which have made
this country the greatest nation in the
world.

"DESPIcABLE TACTICS"

The Caldwell News in Its last issue
had long editorial in which graft,
special privileges. and high taxes;
"gubernatorial rum" lumber and print
ing were jumbled together in vain
effort to show that an organized
gang" had captured the state of Idaho
the county of Canyon and every other
political subdivision, and that this
organized gang" was responsible for
high taxes. The News first admits that
the people have voted bonds for public
improvements and quite generously
absolves the gang from responsibility
in that respect. 1t charges that there
are hundreds. yes thousands of other
items that go to make up the public
obligations and that result in high
taxes" That statement is unquestion-
ably true but if it has any significance
here it means that the state and county
are being robbed by all those who sell
them the thousands of items" In
other words the News charges that
every man who does business with the
state or county is dishonest and is
permitted to be dishonest by our state

INTELLIGENCE QUESTIONED.

A local contemporary naturally drops
into absurdity. This Newspaper pos
es as the friend and exponent of the
people. 1t pretends to have great
faith in the average citizen. It is so
taken with his good sound sense that
it wants to confer upon him the ini-
tiative, referendum and recall. It il
strong for the direct primary and
everything else that somebody has
said the people want In its last "
sne it again points out that the initia-
tive and recall would cure the graft
and special privilege, and in the same
article says: Republicans have been
in Office in this state continually a. the
dominant factor in public financial
affairs so long that they have built up
an extravagant combination and special
privilege system to the end that ex-
trayaRance exists beyond the realixa-
zion Of most voters" The average
voter knows that two years. ago the
people had an opportunity to change
all this. They had the same oppor-
tunity four, six and eight years ago.
At any one of the general elections
they could have informed themselves
of the extravaganza and special priv
ileges. They did pot do so. according
to the local paper. If they have not
done so in the past what is going to
make them do 80 after they get the re-
call, initiative and refrendum7 The
News simply says to The people: "Un-
der present laws you are fools and
ignoramuses, but once the initiative, re-
ferendum and recall Is given you will
immediately become sages and we'll
informed citizens. This legislation
has avirtue that will convert you into
good citizens" Was there ever such
absurdity!
The Tribune believes the people are
pretty sensible. We believe that they
do know the exact conditions and that
at previous elections they voted their
approval of those conditions. At any
rate we should hate to feel and show
the contempt for the people that the
News exhibits at evry possible occa-
sion.
