CASH OR PATRONAGE PREsi.
DENT OR sENAroR7

1t is a notorious fact that President
Wilson is using the patronage at his
disposal to force democratic repre-
sentatives In congress to support the
Underwood tariff bill. He who goes
out and spends money for the pur-
pose of influencing legislation is a
corruptionist. What is the difference
between using money and using Of
fees for the purpose of securing the
passage of a particular law? The
same end is sought and by practically
the same means. The poor legislator
needs money. In order to get that
money he votes against his honest
convictions. He Is bribed. The rich
member Of congress, either in the
house or in the senate, needs influ-
ence and prestige at home. One of
the most potent methods Of securing
that influence and prestige is by Sc
curing the appointment to office Of
his friends and supporters. In order
to secure favorable consideration Of
his recommendations for office the
senator or representative votes against
his convictions. Wherein is 1t any bet
ter to sell your vote for patronage
than it is for money? He too is
bribed and by the president of the
United States. 1t is time that the
people of the country really under.
stood the methods Of high politics. In
congress as in every state legislature
log rolling Is a recognized mode Of
procedure. A certain group of leg
islators support one measure in order
to get support for another. This
practice Is reprehensible and the or
binary member Of the legislature is
condemned for practicing it. The
president of the United States does
the same thing and he is lauded for
so doing.
President Wilson caused a sensation
in congress by charging that power
full lobby was at work in Washington.
Yet at the same time the president Is
one Of the most powerful lobbyists
in Washington. OF course he lob
bied for the passage of the bill. The
others lobbied against the passage
of the bill. The one was a patriot;
the other a sinister influence. That
view of the situation may satisfy
President Wilson but it will not go
far with the American people. The
practice is as reprehensive on the one
side as 1t Ii on the other. 1t makes
no difference what the consideration
may be. Patronage is as valuable to
some men as money is to others. He
who votes for or against proposed
law for a consideration is bribed and
there are no two ways about 1t.
President Wilson is no better than
Dick Croker when he engages in the
same method of securing results

THE MOST QUESTIONABLE
YEAR.

A great deal Is heard of the back
ward spring." the ''late season" the
unnatural weather conditions on
Camas Prairie. all Of which reminds
us that there was a time when un-
natural conditions did prevail the
world over. The year 1915 had no
summer. Beginning June fourth, with
q snow storm that covered Canada,
the maritime provinces, Maine, Yer
mont. Massachusetts and parts of
New York, Pennsylvania and Con-
necticut to the depths of several
inches and In some parts nearly a
foot, the mercury dropped so low
that 1t threatened genuine winter
weather.
Nor did these conditions stop there.
On June the seventeenth another
snow storm came, and it is reported
that several people were nearly frog
en- to death.
July brought little relief from the
cold. On the fourth of July ice a
quarter Of an inch thick formed in
New England. Canada, and some Sec
tons of New York and Pennsylvania.
August was even worse. In many
places that month ice reached a
thickness of half an inch The first
two weeks of September brought
something resembling summer wealth.

INSPECT BUSINESS TO DEATH,

A few weeks ago we mentioned
the expensive delay which w. A.
Younie got into when he loaded a
car OF goods for shipment into Calf
ornia and on account of a pet COW,
and pet pony he had to hold the
car from day to day until they could
be inspected.
Last week Mr.. w. c. Cannon made
sale OF ten sucking pigs to man
In Wyoming, and when he brought
the crate Of pigs to town to express
them out he was informed that there
Is a state law requiring sucking pigs
to pass inspection before billing. Mr..
Cannon hunted up Inspector South
worth and found that 1t would cost
him five dollars for inspection. and
that was more than he considered he
was making on the pigs. Nothing
doing In the pig line!
Several parties have sent down to
Portland or good old Missouri for
shrubs, ferns, geraniums or pansies,
and when the goods arrive at the
express office at Blackfoot, the
courteous agent gets a message to
them right away, telling them Of the
arrival Of live plants that need at
tention, but he has to tell them also
that there Ia q state law requiring
that geranium or a pansy or what
soever 1t may be in the plant or tree
line. shall be duly inspected before
delivery.
One instance where a lady had
purchased a IS cent plant and paid
IS cents express, required hunting
up the inspector and paying a so
cent inspection bill. The purpose is
to keep insects out Of the state, but
1t Is grave question whether 1t will
not also keep out a lot of other
things, and inspect to death" the
ordinary avenues of business activity.
One Of the things that destroys
the commerce Of China is the collec-
ton OF a duty at the boundary Of
each province the goods cross or
enter into, and provinces very far
from the port Of entry do not get
much Of the goods except at prohi-
bitive prices. Daniel Webster in his
great Grafton on Liberty and Union"
deplored the prospect of having q
custom house at the crossing OF every
river or state line. and the people
of Idaho are now witnessing the op-
Grafton of laws which discourage
shipping in nursery stock or ship
ping 1t out, and the two nurseries
which have been built up at Black
foot by long enterprising struggle
are being depleted and are not being
kept up for future supply. 1t Is due
very materially to inspection that
prohibits. What applies to nursery
stock applies to live stock and many
other things.-Idaho Republican.

SPECIAL INTERESTS AND
POLITICS,

According to Frank j. Hagenbarth
president of the national wool grow
ers' association, the democratic party
Is one of the special interests. The
Wilson Underwood tariff bill now be
fore congress is being framed with the
sole purpose Of protecting the inter
ests Of the party without regard to
the interests of the country at large
AS an illustration President Hagen
barth points out that the industries
OF the western states where votes are
few, received scant consideration at
the hands OF the house committee on
ways and means. He also strongly
intimates that appointments to office
are made or held up with the sole
purpose of strengthening the demo
cratic party. Upon his return from
Washington a few days ago Mr.. Hag-
enbarth gave out an interview in
which he said:
THE principal staples of the west,
sugar, wool, beef, live stock, lead and
zinc, are being asked to seek a free
trade market. While was in Wash
ington the house committee of ways
and means notified the wool interests
that they could have but few min
utes in which to be heard, while they
gave Frank Bennett of Boston, free
trader, two whole days in which to
present his side Of the question. which
IL practically the democratic side. OF
course the Utah senators are doing
what they can, but they are In the
minority, although they propose to
put up a big fight, and make the ma
jority's program q hard one to put
through. Personally. l feel that the
west Ia not getting square deal.
Democratic senators and represents
tives who for every reason ought to
fight our cause are voting against
the interests of their constituents, be-
cause they argue, II they do not stand
with the plans mapped out by the ad-
ministration, they will be In to the
bad, and loose all patronage and party
standing, therefore they feel that
they are compelled to defend the
the attitude of the party toward the
extent in the west. There has been
a great deal of talk about special in
terests and the hold they are said to
have on the country; but after giving
q month Of careful study, and having
had interviews with democratic sena-
tors, including our western demo
cratic senators. 1t is apparent that
the biggest special interest in the
United States today, one that over
shadows every other trust or corpor-
ate interests Is the political feature
of the democratic party. and every
move that Is being made Is to fortify
this. Federal appointments are being
held up In order that when made. they
may be made to strengthen the demo
cratic party and its interests. Legis-
lation has been shaped to work harm
where there are the least number of
votes; and 1t is here where we are
getting It below the belt
President Wilson's attitude, Is
much like that of q dictator. He
talks to and handles those congress
men as he would a lot Of college stu
dents. The question naturally arises
how long will congress stand fol
this sort of thing? It Is evident ia
me that rebellion will come sooner
or later. At present the legislative
department appears to have beer
merged into the executive"

Welcome to the county fair.

Welcome to the county fair,
This fall Is mighty good time to
economize and clear up" any indebt-
edness contracted during the past.
1t would be a fine idea If the mer-
chants of the city would so arrange
as to allow each of their clerks q por-
tion of the day Friday so that they
may visit the fair for several hours.
Visit the county fair, see the prize
products of other people, find out how
these products were raised and then
return home determined to excel the
one from whom your information was
obtained
The governor says he is i'm favor of
good poker. honest horse racing and
cock fighting," where these elevating
games are not characterized by gam
bling. The governor has an amazing
sense OF humor, if nothing else. He
might have added good, plain old
time stealing" or honest grating.
etc. The audience will all rise while
we laugh.

nearer approaching a genuine snaD
