are being expended in Idaho.
Another Hawisy jolt.
Governor Hawley, in an address at
HALEY made q statement to the ef-
feet that Borah was not entitled to
much credit for this $20,000,000 appro-
priation, as it was merely loan. The
governor thinks much Of this $780,
600, 900 should have been used for pub
lie buildings in Idaho. 1 will say that
in my opinion it is better to 81 our
lands reclaimed and have these lands
first settled up. then there will be peo-
pie here to use such public buildings
when built. In answer to the COVER
nor's statement that this $20,000,000
is merely loan, / will say that If
Hawley continues his taxation policies,
the farmers of this state will not only
need a loan. bit it will be necessary
for the government to make a dona-
ton in order that they may be saved
from bankruptcy" Great cheers).
Borah then briefly explained his bill
whereby patents now are issued to the
settler on reclamation projects. at the
end of the three-year residence period,
instead Of making the settler wait for
10 or Is years until his water right is
fully paid for.
Borah also briefly explained his en-
larged homestead bill. which is already
working to the big advantage Of Idaho.
Threat Against Borah.
Then Senator Borah dwelt at length
upon his resolution providing for the
direct election Of United States sena-
tors. He stated when this resolution is
| do lon ho
chance any longer to corruptly pur-
chase seat in the senate Of the Unit
| ed States.
IF you do not assist in keeping
Senator Lorimer in his seat, l will
send enough money into Idaho to de-
feat you for reelection" This start
ling statement was made to Senator
Borah in Chicago by the man who fur
nished most Of the money to purchase
Lorimers seat in the senate. Senator
Borah told this man that he (Borah)
would refuse to vote IN favor Of Lori
mer, and he defied this man to do his
worst Borah said there is no doubt
that right now this Lorimer man is
having a great deal of his money spent
in Idaho in an effort to defeat Borah
| for reelection.
The senator then proceeded to ex-
| plain his views on the tariff question
Borah's well known attitude on the
tariff stamps him a true Republican,
just as he claims he is.
Borah in his tariff discussion tool,
issue with Atwood and put Atwood
entirely out of business.
Borah said: Certainly 1 voted to
put a duty on oil. Why? Who owns
the oil wells in Mexico and in Russia!
The Standard Oil company does. The
Standard Oil company wanted to he
put on the free list. voted to put q
duty on Oil. l also voted to put a. duty
on lead, to protect the lead interests
of the United States.
Il will vote every time to put any
article on the tariff for revenue list
whenever l find such article is con-
trolled by some great combine. That
is why l voted that iron ore, for in.
stance, be put on the free list" II
was plain that Borah's big audience
was in full accord with him on his
tariff views.
The subject of the income tax was
taken up and exclusively explained b.
Borah. He made very clear the diff.
| ieieHCe DclWecn the income tax anC
| the corporation tax.
Borah said that Senator Reed, the
sponsor of Atwood, was opposed tt
taxing the incomes Of the great mer
of wealth. but Senator Reed earnestly
advocated the taxing of the poorer
classes through excise taxes. IT an
perfectly willing that my views on the
tax question be compared with thos,
held by Senator Reed of Missouri, wht
has sent Mr.. Atwood to Idaho in al
effort to secure my political scalp
Borah's explanation Of the child la
Dor bureau bill, now law, brough
forth storm of applause.
eorah Submits His Record.
Borah submitted his senate record
to the people of Idaho, and ask ed 70
the peoples approval at the November
election, provided his course is ap
proved by the people. There is n,
question but Borah's course stands ap
proved by those who heard his grea
address at Gooding.
: Borah then proceeded to call atten
ton to the fact that the Democratic
party in Idaho has no open candidate
in opposition to him for his seat in TIL
United States senate. The Democra.
: are playing a ,bushwhacking game
/. Their fight is not square deal, no
an open fight against Borah. TIL
e Democratic leaders of Idaho are RICH
now sacrificing everything else an
are centering their fire on Borah.
Borah made powerful appeal to tn
: voters of Idaho to go to the polls q,
/ Nov. and record their conviction.
whether they be Socialists, Democrats
v Republicans or Progressives.
: A great wave of cheering and ap
plause swept over the big audience a
Senator Borah concluded his grea
address.
Every loyal friend Of Borah shout
put his shoulder to the wheel and cas-
! his ballot for the legislative tick,
; that is pledged to vote for Borah.
