ing that the bench should be kept

this sentiment.
Chief Justice Ailshie, should he

one serious danger. This is the

STATE POLITICS
FRIGHTENING UP
ACTIVITY SHOWN IN THE CAMPS
OF ALL FACTIONS OF ALL
PARTIES
According to Monday Morning
Statesman Senator Davis is
Looked Upon as Formidable Con-
tender for State Office.

With mine months yet to elapse
before we reach the FIRST real ac-
ton in Idaho political evolutions
much activity is being shown by
numerous members of all the par
ties who are looked upon as
aspirants for political honors, and
forces are beginning to be lined up
with a view to ascertaining the
probable strength of each.
The following article. taken from
the Boise Statesman of Monday
morning. shows that our local
statesman Senator d. w. Davis, is
booked upon as a formidable con-
tender for gubernatorial honors.
If Senator Davis has any serious
intent'o of becoming a candidate
for governor none of his friends
at home know of it, and it is felt
that if he does enter the race dt
will be because of pressure brought
to bear from outside places. Mr.
Davis has many friends who would
like to see him installed as the
chief executive of this state, and
who think he would fill the office
creditably.
The Statesman story follows:
Prominent Republicans who have
returned from North Idaho in the
past week or two agree in the state
ment that there is much mixing of
political war paint in that section
of the state recently.
Among friends of Governor
Haines the information that State
Senator d. w. Davis of American
Falls has been making a systematic
canvass of north Idaho has caused
more or less uneasiness. Senator
Davis has been urging the more
rapid sale of the state land to
create a fund, the interest on which
Is to pay for the support of the
state institutions and in this way
relieve the taxpayers of a great part
OF their tax burden. This is meeting
with much favor in many sections
of the state; and with or without
his consent Senator Davis has been
enjoying quite a respectable guber-
material boom. This boom started
last summer when the American
Fails banker launched his scheme
at the meeting of the state bankers
at Weiser. 1t has been cropping
out in most unexpected places evel
since.

FRIENDS OF GOOD ROADS
MOVEMENT MUST GET BUSY
is Said That Considerable Opposition Developing to
the Bond Proposition Condition Which is Attribu-
ted Largely to the Lack of Definite Information.

Now that the election for the
purpose of voting upon the ques-
ton of bonding the county to ac-
qu're funds to make improvements
of a permanent nature upon the
roads and bridges has been called,
it is learned that there is some
opposition developing to move. OF
course it was expected that there
would be opposition. but opposition
from the very people who are to be
most benefited comes as some
what of surprise.
Rumors of all kinds are rife
throughout the county as to the
why's and wherefors of this bond
election. but the one statement
which lis probably the farthest from
the truth seems to be given the
most credence. 1t is stated that
the purpose of the commissioners
is to build a system of good auto
mobile roads within a radius of ten
or fifteen miles of American Falls
and that those sections farther out
are to be left without Improvement.
Just how such rumor could be
started is beyond the comprehension
of anyone who is at all familira
with the plans of the commission
ers. But it has been started and
seems to have carried to the farth-
est corners of the county, and it
will take a lot of q xpladning to
convince the people that it lis not
true i'm any sense.
Before passing final Judgment
upon this question the full and
complete report of the commission
ers, which will no doubt be forth
coming. 1t must be remembered
that The commissioners have had
much to- do i'm connection with get
ting this matter in shape to bt
submi5ted to the people and thos'
officials must not be condemned
without being given a fair hearing
They have gone into this question
thoroughly and their honest con
clusion is that if a system of gooC
roads and bridges are built to al
parts of the county it will be /;
matter of great benefit and ais
of economy to the people.
AS to the routes which lit lis pro
posed to improve so as to maxi
them good, permanent highway
which can be travelled at any sea
son of the year. it cam be sail

from the general information avail
able at this time that tthe system
viii extend to all parts of the
county One route will begin at
the southern boundary of the coun-
ty and extend to American Falls.
another will be built across the
sand road west of the river and
extend to the boundary of the
county, and still another will be
built to the northern boundary of
the county. Then there will be
much improvement of spurs lead
ing to these trunk lines in the out
lying districts. Bannock Valley
will come in for some such work as
will other sections.
1t is the intention of the COM
mission rs so we are informed, to
make public all their plans in con-
nect'on with the expenditure of
this money, if the bond issue car
ries, and all should withhold final
judgment until they are given a
clear and definite understanding of
the question.
The Press favors the good roads
movement because. if we take the
experience of other counties why
the plan has been tried it's sue
cess must be admitted. Our neigh
bors i'm Lincoln county are very well
pleased with the result of THEN
efforts in line of road building and
in Ada county, where very ex.
tensive road improvement has beer
accomplished by the same method
which it is proposed to adopt hare
it IS claimed that the good roads
have been the means of reducing
taxes and at the same time have
been of inestimable value to th'
farmers of that section. Deainl
with the matter of county expenses

Road Bonds Help.
The levy made for county pur
poses last year produced a revenu
amounting to S3S97O9.49. The lev.
for 1913 will raise only $241,137.S
but with that sum the county com
missioners expect to meet curren
expenses. A protion of the savin
lis sad to be due to the voting o
the county good roads bonds, wh'cl
served to cut down expenses il
that direction. That does not &C
count for all the decrease, however

THOUSANDS If PLANS OF THE
PEOPLE DO NOT MISCARRY
MIR. jackson, Government Biolo2ist.
in Attendance at Meeting We'd

to Instruct in Use of Poison

The meeting held at the Auditor
ium Wednesday for the purpose of
discussing ways and means of rid
ding the country of rabbits was not
as we'll attended as it was expect
ed 1T would be- though there is no
doubt but that mu ch good will
result from the movement which has
been started.
Mr.. Jackson. of the government
agricultural department, who has
made quite an extensive study of
the best method of handling the
rabbit pest. was in attendance at
the meeting and gave much valuable
information. He gave the formula
for preparing the poison and signi-
fed a willingness to stay for as
long a time ais he possibly could to
instruct the people of this section
in all the details of the work.
Wednesday evening Mr.. Jackson
was taken out to F'airview where a
meeting was held for the same
time. There was a much larger
crowd i'm attendance at the Fair-
view meeting and great interest
was shown i'm the subject.
The people of all sections are
thoroughly aroused to the neces-
sity for prompt and concerted ac-
tion and there ia no doubt but
that a great deal of good will DO

months by way of getting rid of

Protect Dogs and Hogs.
In the wholesale poisoning cam
paign which is to be made there
IS one element of danger. If dogs
or hogs eat the carcases of dead
rabbits which have been poisoned
it will probably result in their death
. so the owners of valuable dogs and
, hogs which are permitted to run at
large should take some precautions
airy measures. The dogs can be
J muzzled but no plan has yet been
} formulated for the protection o.
hogs except to keep them pennec

insist that he is in north Idaho at
this time to look after the polit-
cal fences of Senator Brady; that
he is not a candidate for governor
or any other office at this time;
and that although much pressure
ds being brought to bear upon him.
he is not in the field for himself
but wholly for Senator Brady.
Washington County for Hodges.
Ii Mayor Hodges OF this city ex-
pected a general uprising of the
people of the state as result of
his recent announcement that he
might. under certain circumstances,
consent to be a candidate for gov
ernor, then the mayor and his
hackers must be sorely disappoint-
ed. There is no sign anywhere
on the horizon to indicate an up
rising OF this kind. 1t is reported
from Washington county that Mayor
Hodges has developed considerable
strength there, but this is the only
spot i'm Idaho that has turned in
a report of this kind.
Some of the leutenants of Gov
ernor Haines who are keeping a
close watch on the political weather
vane assert that before the time
for the primaries roll around the
present incumbent will be the only
Republican candidate in sight, and
that he will get a denomination
W thout opposition in his own party.
Among the Democrats no name
has been heard in connection with
the governorship up to this time
except that of. Moses Alexander,
and he denies that he is a candi-
date. There has been AN idea in
the minds of many that a north
Idaho man might be brought out for
this nomination. but up to the pres
ent no man has appeared. Among
the Bull Moose Guy H. Martin, who
made the race in the last campaign
IS already chosen to make the race
for the same office next year.
Gooding After Brady's Place.
More serious, from a Republican
point of view, is the senatorial situ-
alton. Frank R. Gooding lis al
ready making a vigorous canvass
of the state and is continuing his
personal assaults on Senator Brady
The junior senator has announced
that at the proper time he will an
nounce his candidacy and that he
will refrain from mudslinging and
personal warfare.
Chief Justice Ailshie is considered
in the senatorial race by most poll
teal observers although he has
made no official announcement o.
his candidacy yet He has informed
some of his political hackers thai
he would make an announcement al
the proper time. Whether he will
retire from the bench when ht
makes his announcement is a ques
ton that is bothering many of the
politicians. 1t is the general opinion
that the chief justice would be ;
much stronger senatorial candidat'
