MAYOR RECEIVES PETITIONERS
Committee Presents Resolutions Peti.
tioning His Honor to Regulate
NEGRO Clubs. - T


A committee, representing the Ne
gro Morals Commission, an organiza-
tion recently organized for civic better
ment was received by Mayor Nye on
Monday afternoon. The Club question
was discussed in all its phases. Chm.
j. c., Trevan in chosen words told Of
the purpose of the committee. John
8. Wright made an impressive appeal
for the protection of young men and
especially women, presenting the exist
ing evils and asking the assistance Of
his Honor to better conditions. Chas.
Sumner Smith read copy of the
resolutions presented. Mayor Nye
promised to investigate and use his
office to assist the Negroes and all
people to become better citizens.
Others of the committee present were
Sergt. ]. w. Harper, r. C. Marshall,
Walter Blackburn, Schuyler Phillips,
]. H. Lane, e. A. Mitchell, Rev. M. w.
Withers, P. F. Hale, ]. N. Sellars, j.
H. Fredericks and Jas. r. Eddings,
Chm. of the Commission. Nearly
every one present expressed his views,
and his Honor listened attentively and
questions were freely asked and an.
swered. Mayor Nye has kept this
promise, that he would, II elected, re-
ceive any Negro or committee of Ne
groes, who came to his office. Believ-
ing the Mayor to be misled by his sub
ordinates, and knowing that he has
been given the facts, 1t is the opinion
Of the good citizens that he will in
vestigate and regulate, and II neces-
sary eliminate. There Is a movement
on foot to present a list of buffet-flats
and other disorderly places also to be
investigated. The Negro Committee
will cooperate with a white organiza-
ton for social betterment.

constructed without any provision for
The Idaho Republican., 1913-03-28

1t is needless to call your atten-
tion separately to each of our splend-
i'd candidates for the council in the
respective wards. Let it suffice that
they are successful business men of
mature years and judgment selected
with a view to give active and eff
cient support to our excellent candi-
date for mayor with the intent to
inaugurate sweeping and needed re-
forms in the affairs of our city.
Compare If you please. the especial
fitness of our candidates, with the ,ex-
travagance and reckless councilmen
who have heretofore represented us
in our municipal government.
Four years ago, the party and its
candidate, that is now asking you to
entrust it again with the government
of this city, came into power upon
promises of glittering generalities as
to how it was going to give you a
modern up-to-date progressive town,
and would make such crusade
against all wrong doing and start
such wave of reform as would lift
the moral standard of the people
and Danish evil from our midst.
This party elected its candidate
for Mayor, and was in control of the
city government through such officials
from 1909 until 1911, when the peo-
pie refused longer to continue them
in power. This same party, with the
same standard bearer is before you
asking to again be given control of
the city government, and making the
same promises It made then
We make no reflection upon the
high character and the good citizen
ship of the Republican standard
bearer, and we denounce the charac-
ter assassin, and deplore the fact
that such methods are being resorted
to against the candidate whom we
have named.
The Idaho Republican., 1913-03-28
i'd do when in such office.

did do when in such office.
When the Republican candidate
for Mayor came into office four years
ago, he found the city of Blackfoot
practically free from debt. 1t had
a small bonded Indebtedness of about
Sc, ,00O, incurred by reason of open
ing Pacific street.
He was in office two years and he
left the city with an indebtedness OF
$4,000. That is to say this admin
istration increased the bonded in
debtdness $57,50O and left a float-
ing Indebtedness arising out of cur
rent expenses over and above the
city's revenues from general taxation,
which was refunded by an issue Of
bonds during Mayor Capps admins
tration, and thereby increased the
bonded Indebtedness to $78,500.
In all fairnes it may be said that
the city administration in power
from 1909 to 1911, for a TWO year
term, increased the bonded indebt-
edness from $4,000, to $84,500.
In addition to this the tax levy for
current operating expenses has been
increased from year to year by
reason of this heavy increase in the
bonded Indebtedness on other add
ed expenses, until it has reaAed the
unheard of rate of THIRTY MILLS
on the DOLLAR for municipal pur-
poses.
This indebtedness creates mort
gage lien upon every dollars worth
of taxable property in this city, and
is now so large. that the rate of taxa
ton to meet the interest and sink
ing fund charges, must of necessity
continue the high rate for many years
to come.
/. THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY, and
its candidates believe in the general
policy of a city issueing bonds to
provide itself, with necessary
municipal improvements, the benc-
fits. of which accrue to future
generations, but it denounces as in
competent, extravagant, and as lack
ing in business judgment, an admin
istration that will increase the bond
ed indebtedness of city like Black
foot to $84,500 without having taken
any measures to provide its people
and future generations that are
to follow, with that which is more
essential to life and health than daily
food, supply of pure water, for
domestic purposes, and sufficient in
amount to sprinkle the streets and
furnish fire protection to the property
and at cost that makes its use pos
sible for the humblest home.
We are not attacking the private
corporation that has in operation a
partial system, on the contrary we
commend its owners for their enter
prise, and courage, in installing their
plant and thereby doing for those of
the people who are within its limits
what the officers of this city have not
had the business ability, the courage
or the enterprise to do.

efficiency, and the business judgment

Our Candidate for Mayor.

AMES A. Martin our candidate
for Mayor is one of our mos
u efficient, active and successful
business men. He has re-
~ sided in Blackfoot for nine
years. He. is a man OF
sterling worth, and spotless charac-
ter and possesses strong PERSONAL
ity which has endeared him to his
many friends and even his enemies
frankly admit that his word is
synonymous with his bond. He is no
trimmer. You know where to find
him. He firmly believes and has
been a staunch advocate that there
should be no class distinction. He has
always maintained that all our laws
whether city, state, or national should
be administered and equally enfor-
ced regardless of the effect on capital
or labor or on the rich or poor. Mr..
Martins manly and courageous posi-
ton on all questions whether public
or private, is q Square Deal"
Our growing city is sadly in need
of a man of Mr.. Martins character.
He is absolutely fearless and indep-
endent, and will if elected conduct
the affairs of our city in an honest,
intelligent and business like man
ner without fear or favor. With
such a man at the head of our muni-
cipal government we may expect the
recognition our city properly deser-
yes. He is unalterably opposed to
a further increase in our tax rate
to a further issuance of bonds, to
the useless waste of our public funds,
in useless, inefectual and feeble at
tempt to improve our streets, as has
our past administrations, to the reck-
less and wanton waste in salaries,
especially to officers whose offices
have never been intended to be self
supporting. Mr.. Martin is in favor
of making all salaried Offices as near
self supporting as possible. If our
candidate is elected to the chief Of
ce of our city he will so conduct it's
affairs that his name will go down in
the history ~of our city as Golden
Rule. Martin"
The Idaho Republican., 1913-03-28

The record of any man who is a
candidate for public office, while he
occupied such official position is SUBJ

than to consider what such candidate

the time it was incurred, in increas-

city to this amount without leaving
some thing to the city of greater
need than that architectural monstro

We admit the need Of sewerage

The Idaho Republican., 1913-03-28

But we assert without fear that
the charge can be successfully refu-

would cause a city of this size to be

made any provision for an adequate
supply of water, and at reasonable
cost for all the people, both for dom
