Majority Admit Mistakes.

Republicans who subscribe to the
frank confession of Representative
Gardner that the party has made mis-
takes and there is mo use making any
bones about it, constitute the bulk of
the representation in Congress. They
believe the mistakes should be correct
ed and that there should be a general
overhauling and the organization per-
fected to meet the opportunity present.
ed by a Democratic administration.
1t is probable that the first step in
the way Of Republican reorganization
will be taken in the appointment of the
new Congress Committee. as this plan
meets with less objection than any of
the others. Senator Cummins is SAN
guine in the hope that national con-
vention will follow.
1t is hazardous 10 venture q predic-
tion at this time. but as the situation
stands il appears that the moderate
Progressivcs. who are taking the lead
in the reorganization movement will

deserted the Republican fold on the
ground that ii was not progressive
enough will have no such cause for
complaint, nor will the regular Repub-
leans who stood out for the old order
find the changes so marked that they
will interpret them as "a sacrifice Of
fundamental principles. The apparent
purpose of the men who are making the
fight is not TO raze the house and re-
build it. but TO give ii an overhauling

Ing To hold another conference here, and
on the result of this conference depends
the verdict of whether or not President
Wilson's visit to New Jersey has been
prolific or a barren one.
by some observers II is predicted that

under the verbal flashing given to them
by the President last week are more de-
termned than ever to prevent anything
like an honest jury bill being passed
BY others the assertion is made that
those of the Assembymen who have been
opposing the reform have heard from

ARE CoyoTEs THE CAUsEP
Belief Exists that Dogs are Affect
ed with Hydrophabia from
Coyote Bite.

According to reports going the
rounds of exchange. the madness of
several dogs has been charged to
fights with the prairie scavengers.
and we reprint the item for what
Il is worth;
Although several weeks have pas
sed since a so-called mad dog has
made his appearance the epidemic
has reached Council and the upper
country. DR.. Ray Hurd. deputy state
veterinarian. was called TO the
Adams county seat last week and
while there investigated numerous
and one specific case. He found
that a valuable Russian stag hound
belonging to Frank Hahn was actu-
ally afflicted with rabies and
ordered the canine destroyed. The
dog recently had a hard fight with
a coyote and suffered numerous
bites from the wolf from which il Is
believed he caught the disease.
Nothing was thought of the affair
at the time but after a few days the
dog acted queer and was securely
chained and the examination made.
Now that one real case Of hydro
phobia has been found campers are
warned TO use the utmost care and
be prepared against attack. Just
how far the disease has spread is
a matter OF speculation because IL
Is believed that numerous coyotes
have the rabies and will continue to
it among their kind or dogs
that they may encounter.

WHAT is PROPER SALARY?
Bryan Says He Cannot Live on
$4,000 "A Year, and Has
Taken Lay-Off.

Considerable comment has arisen
over Secretary Bryan's statement
that he had to spend his vacation
on the lecture platform because he
could not live on the secretary of
states salary Of $4,000 a year.
While Bryan may be technically
guilty of trying to double up on
his salary, and shows no DISPOSE
ton to give I'D something for his
country, he Is not to be seriously
censured for making hay while the
sun Shines He says:
For II years the sources of
my income have been writing and
lecturing, but each year l have made
more public sacrifices, without COM
p~ensation. My earning capacity
has been large and l have made not
only an income sufficient for my
immediate needs. but have saved
on an average something more than
$4,000 a year.
I'm accepting the office which 1
now hold l gave up the opportunity
to add to my accumulations, for I
do not expect to increase during my
term the amount / have laid aside
that is, l am willing to forego
whatever advantage l might derive
from the acquiring OF $4,000 more
for the privilege of serving the
country in this office during the
coming four years. / will do more

that fair minded people will ask it
Of me.
Therefore, until / see some re-
sources TO bring my income up to
my expenses these lectures will con-
tinue to be delivered during the
time that other officials give to
their vacations. In addition to sup
plementing my salary l hope that
my lectures do good-people who
attend them would not do so If they
did not think they received their
moneys worth, but / would be glad
TO spend my vacations resting in
stead of lecturing if / could do so
without eating in upon the amount

ton against old age"

The one thing which ! most

Interest OF the bond purchaser as

cation enterprises is anxious only
that his capital and interest shall

Is Interested In making his purchase
under conditions which he will be
able to meet. Naturally he desires
the terms OF his contract to be such
that there will be no danger OF de-
fault on his part. He desires the
rate OF interest which he is com
PEELED TO pay to be as low rs rea-
sonably can be expected and does
not want his payments to fall due

pect him TO be able TO make them.
Whatever therefore makes for the
good of the settler and which as
sures his ability 20 pay at the time
indicated In his contract makes al
so for the good OF the investor be-
cause IL assures him that while his
money must be invested for a long
period the ultimate return thereon
Is perfectly safe. You viii see,
therefore, that this movement on the
part OF the state government to find
a solution OF this great problem is
one that is primaily in the interest
of IA settlers and you will agree
with me in saying that II the pro-
per solution can be found it will
go further to make for the perman-
ent prosperity Of the state than any
other matter which is before the
people for consideration at the pres
ent time.
Another matter OF importance
to which l desire to call your at
tention is that Of the more rapid
sale Of our state lands. Certain linn
itauons upon the sale Of these lands
are placed In the constitution OF this
state. the idea being to check the
sale OF such lands in order that the
same may be held in reserve. either
for an advance in price or for the
benefit OF coming generations. I'M
der the limitations imposed by the
constitution IL will require some
thing like one hundred e~ighty-five
years for us to dispose of our
holdings. Under the present plan
the principal secured from the sale
OF these holdings Is kept intact but
the interest thereon is added year
ly 70 the proper fund and becomes
available for current use.
1T Is now PROPOSED TO amend the
constitution OF the state in such
a name as to permit OF a more
rapid sale OF our state holdings,
provided, OF course. that none OF
them shall be sold at less than the
minimum price per ace fixed by the
constitution. THIS plan was first
advanced and for some time has
been advocated by our state land
commissioner, Mr.. George A. Day.

ated in the Republican state plat

WOOD RIVER WOOL SHIPMENTS
Fully as Many sheep Will be Ship
ped Over This Line as Dur
ing Former Seasons.

All indications at present point to
the fact that just as many, If not
more sheep will be shipped off the
Wood River branch this season as
In former seasons, Notwithstanding
the belief of many that the COM
pletion of the Central Idaho rail-
road on Camas prairie would curtail
shipments on this line, says the
News-Miner.
The sheep shipping season is at
hand and there is quite a pro-
nounced movement. A number of
trainloads of lambs and sheep
have already gone TO the eastern
markets from this section.

A light frost was reported from
many sections of the Aberdeen
Springfield tract on Monday morn
ing of this week. Near the river
the frost was heavy enough to form
a light sheet of ice, says the Times.
According to the records OF the ex-
pertinent farm the mercury descend
ed to SS degrees at that point. Ex-
cept for a few tender vegetables

which depends upon either irrigation
or drainage In order that farming
may be- successfully.
When the first contracts for
waterrights under the Carey Act
projects were made the idea was
generally prevalent that in order to
find a market for irrigation bonds
Il was necessary To promise a quick
return thereon. The mistake was
therefore made OF providing that
payments for water rights should
be made In ten annual installments,
the first installment falling due at
the time the water was ready for
delivery. II requires no argument
to convince you that In most cases
this provision OF the contract has
placed a burden upon the settler
which In justice and reason he
should never have been expected
to carry. In many oassss he has
been unable 20 meet his obligations
and the security Of the bond pur-
chaser has thereby been impaired.
The result OF all this has beer that
irrigation Sc urlt'es have been for
sometime practically a drug upon
the market and when sold AT all
IL has been only az an enormous dis
count which has added an addi-
tional burden to the enterprise sell
ing the bonds. or course this
burden has to be borne in the end
by the settler.
1t is the purpose OF tho Irriga-
ton Securities commission TO make
a thorough study not only OF tho
Irrigation laws OF our state but OF
the Irrigation and drainage laws OF
other states and countries. and of
all other laws under which any gov
eminent has assisted In any form OF
Industrial development. no matter
what form such development may
have taken. The search for help
full laws In order that their prinei-
Piles may be studied has covered a
wide range. not only within the
United States but in Canada. Aus
tralia and perhaps oother countries.
1T Is our hope that some plan
will be found which will result In
placing irrigation securities where
they rlghtfully belong al the head
OF the list OF securities issued In
western states. We r seeking
a plan under which such securities
would run for a long term OF years,
say twenty-five or thirty. and at a
low rate Of interest the first pay

yocacy by Mr.. T. e. Picotte. editor
OF the Wood River Times, who was
a delegate from Blaine county, fay-
posed amendment to the people Of
oring the submission Of such a pro-
prosed amendment to the people
Of this state for their consideration.
l supported this plank In the cam
paign and strongly recommended
favorable consideration in my first
message to the legislature. l also
urged the approval of such an
amendment In an article which 1
prepared for the Meadows Eagle
and which appeared in it's issue Of
January 18th. 1913. The legislature
failed to submit for your consider
alton the proposed amendment al
though 1t was prepared and intro
duced by Senator Davis Of Power
county. This amendment passed
the senate but was lost in the
house, largely, / think, through a
failure on the part Of its members
to understand the results that would
follow it's adoption. This is, Of
course a momentous question and
one that requires careful study and
calculation in order to be fully un-
derstood. At first consideration it
seems a radical departure from
ideas heretofore accepted as correct,
and the subject must be discussed
In order that 1t may be understood.
| am confident that II the people
come to understand this matter fully
they will adopt the necessary con-
stitutional amendment at the first
opportunity.
Senator Davis has lately pc
Toned a signal service in connection
with this proposed change in the
manne of disposing of our state
lands. In an able addess delivered
before the Bankers convention at
Weiser he pointed out the immense
benefits which would accrue to the
state through a b~usiness-like handl-
ing OF its holdings; selling them to

out that handled in this way the
State OF Idaho has Il suffi-
Gent 10 make it one where eventual
ly no taxes need be collected.
1T is not my purpose to repeat
Senator Davis argument. nor do
more than invite your attention to
the fact that his conclusions are
based on actual calculations which
can be verified by anyone wishing
TO do so. Suffice 1t here to say
that accoding to his figues we could
reduce our taxes forty percent with
In eleven years, and at the end of
ninety-two years, or one-half the
