FUNNY FACTS ABOUT THE FAIR.

Our piano contest Is furnishing
more amusement than anything that
has happened since the fair. A bunch
of girls each determined to win a pi-
ano free or as nearly free as possible,
working for subscriptions and other
business for a good newpaper, are
making themselves heard and are get
ting results in this county. The pub
lication last week OF our sworn state
ment filed with the government show
ing The Republican is out of debt and
on good financial footing, discredit-
ed the statements circulated all spring
and summer to the effect that The Id
aho Republican was embarrassed and
was for sale or rent. These state
ments circulated by coterie Of Jok-
ers for selfish purposes, have also re-
ceived a practical rebuff at the hands
of the public who have
given us a generous patronage in the
face of malicious reports intended to
damage us. The farmers who are
taking out five-year subscriptions to
the paper and paying cash in advance
for the whole period Indicate their
confidence in the stability of the bus
mess.
Last week we published the first
authentic list of premiums ever award
ed at a Blackfoot fair. 1t has been
undertaken a number of times before,
and generally given up in failure.
Each subscriber realizes now that he
has a directory of the producers of
the various prize-winning things ex-
hibited at the fair, and 1t being the
largest and most complete and var
ed exhibit of farm products made In
the state yet, it is matter of consid-
erable value. Contestants soliciting
subscriptions among the farmers have
heard much commentator upon this
feature of the paper.
The various prizes we arc giving
from week to week are an assurance
to the public that we are doing our
part, and the fine Gerhard piano on

SUGAR FACTORY OPENED
ON WEDNESDAY MORNING
FOR THE FALL CAMPAIGN.
Equipment Greatly Improved Last
Season For This Years Run.
Beet Crop This Year Said to be the
Best Since the Factory Opened Nine
Years Ago.-Acreage in Crop is
61OO; viii Average az Tons to Acre

Blackfoot's sugar factory opened
on Wednesday for the seasons grind
of beets. In the summer of 1912 a
large amount of remodeling was done
in the factory, adding modern equip
ment and repairing worn machinery
requiring a large appropriation OF
money, but his year only about half
as much was expended in this way,
and the factory is in good condition
for the run of 100 or 120 days needed
to grind the crop and make white
sugar.
The acreage this year totaled g.
100. and the estimated average yield
will be eleven or twelve tons for
which the farmer receives $5.25 to
$3.50 per ton.
4 A new beet dump has been built
this year at Pingree, and loading
station at Ft. Hall, the latter for re-
ceiving the beets raised by the Indians
The crop this year is perhaps the
best that has been raised in the nine
years since the factory WAS built.
There was no particular difficulty in
terminating, no shortage of help at
thinning time no blight and no short
age of water for irrigating, so the av-
erage beet farmer he's about what he
hoped for. The factory employs about
16ONrnen and the farmers are employ
ing large numbers harvesting the
beets and potatoes.

FRENCH FOR UNIFORM CODES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 30
The recent horrible disaster on the
New Haven railroad which resulted
in the death of 21 persons, again
calls attention to some of the vital
needs of the transportation question.
Representative French of Idaho has
had pending for several months a
bill requiring all railroads to adopt
uniform code of signals for the op-
Grafton of all trains and while Mr.
Frenchs bill has received much sup
port, it looks as though the terrible
disaster on the New Haven line would
possibly constitute the necessary OBJ
ject lesson to force the measure
through.
Mr.. French says there can be nc
legitimate reason advanced why al
railroads throughout the United
States should not have uniform
svstem of signals instead Of each rail

ADMINISTRATION STRIKES
BACKAT THOSE WH0CRlTICISE
Governor Hames Does Not Intend to Permit
His Administration Being Charged With
Extravaganza and Issues Statement
Big Additional Burden

Taking these times together, 1t
will be seen that we were forced to
provide $157,500 to meet expenses
which were new and unusual, but
which were either demanded by the
people or incurred in such manner as
to relieve the present state admins
tration Of responsibility therefore. 4
we had not been compelled to raise
this large amount of new revenue, in
stad of calling for $24,23S.73 more
than last year we should have been
able to call for $133,261.2S less.
Only Part of the Story
"But even this does not tell all the
story. The legislature, owing to the
growth of our institutions, and the
increased cost of maintenance, found
it necessary to considerably increase
the appropriations therefor. 1t is
presumed that these increased appro-
priations were all approved by the
critics of tn legislature, because at
the time they severely criticised that
body, or more particularly the senate,
for defeating bond issues involving
many thousands of dollars &pr en-
largements at these institutions.
"FOr the capitol building and
grounds and for the penal and chari-
table institutions, the legislature APP
propriated $S5, 600 more for the bien-
nial period than was appropriated in
1011.. Similarly it appropriated for
our educational, institutions $177,-
O48.2O more than in 1911. Half Of
this increased amount must, of course
be made available for the current
year, and the board of equalization
was thus forced to raise this year for
our state institutions $131.O24. 10
more than was raised last year.
Make Both Ends Meet.
IF now we add the last named
amount to the $157,500 which. as
shown above, it was necessary to raise
to meet new and unusual expenses,
it will be seen that the board of
equalization was forced to provide 10
1913 for the payment of $28S,524.10
more than was required in 1912.
When it is remembered that in
order to pay $2SS,524.10 additional,
an increase of only $24,238.7S is
asked for indirect taxes, the i'ffor-
ence being saved elsewhere or met
from, the increased revenues earned
by the various dn2ar ments, il is be-
leived that the aImlnisirat on which
has brought such result about is
fairly entitled 20 :ne credit Of having
been both ecolonica and business
like.
What the pcOplC Gain
"In other words, this administra-
tion is making it possible for the
people to have public utilities and
tax commission costing for this year
$4,000; a state board education
costisg $4,000, to pay an old debt
of $500 for a silver service for the
battleship Idaho, to place an exhibit
at San Francisco costing 100000, to
expend on their charitable, penal and
educational institutions the increased
sum of $131,024.10, and to pay the
whole additional bill aggregating
$288,524.10 by raising through direct
taxes the small additional sum of
$24,238.73.
IT doubt IL the people will ever ask
OF expect any state administration
to make better record than this"

WHY TAXES ARE MUCH HIGHER
Legislature Made Larger Appropria-
tiops for The Things That Were
Demanded by the People.

Governor Haines does not lnteno
to sit still and permit adverse critics
to charge his administration with ex-
travagance; with being false to its
professions Of economy and retrench-
ment. From the beginning the gov
ernor has prided himself on bringing
the business of the tate to q better
business standard; to the establish
ment of system and bettermanage-
ment in every department of the state
government.
In an "Open Statement to the Peo-
pie Of Idaho on the State Tax Levy,
issued on Friday, Governor Haines
submits facts and figures that will be
of interest to every taxpayer in the
state. In this signed statement he
says:
why Statement is Made
"The announcement by the board
of equalization of the state levy and
the amount which will have to te
raised this year by direct taxation
from the various counties, has been
made the occasion by the opposition
newspapers for declaration that the
present administration has failed to
redeem it's promises in the matter OF
giving the people an economical bpsl-
ness administration of state affairs.
"It is pointed out that the board OF
equalization is raising through direct
taxation $24,238.73 more this year
than was similarly raised in 1912, and
an attempt is being made to use this
fact as proof of extravaganza and
breach of faith on the part of the
state officers. ~
People Should Have the Facts
ut is my belief that che people
should be fully informed on this mat
ter so that they may know the exact
status of the question and be able to
decide for themselves whether or not
the state government has been eco
nomical and businesslike In its opera
tions. It is true that direct taxes have
been increased by the amount named
attempted to make capital out of this
but it is also true that those who have
fact have not been fair enough to
give the reasons for this increase OF
the facts from which the reasons
might be deduced.
1T is a we'll known fact that the
last legislature considerably extended
the operations of the state govern
ment and that the board of equaliza'
tion were forced to provide for meet
ing many expenses which heretofore
have not been charged against the
state.
