SENATOR BRADY TALKS
Hopes to See Sound Currency Bill
Made Law.

Senator James H. Brady, accom-
, panied by his wife, arrived in this city
late Sunday evening and registered
at the Owyhee. They will be in Boise
until Tuesday night, when they leave
for Lewiston and other points in north
Idaho. From north Idaho they will
go direct to Washington, where the
senator expects to take an active part
in the consideration of the currency
bill when it gets before that body
Senator Brady showed the effects of
the long trip from the capital and
strenuous times since he reached the
state looking after matters of various
kinds. He said that aside from being
tired he was feeling fine and had en-
joyed his work in Washington inn
mensely.
Il don't expect he said ''to be a
candidate all the time, but when the
proper time arrives | expect to be a
candidate for the senate again, and
when that time arrives ! hope to be
able to demonstrate to the people of
Idaho that | am able to serve them
well. By that time | shall have had
two years experience, and know that
experience is valuable in getting re-
suits in Washington. | have not been
idle. On the contrary, | have worked
hard with the departments and | am
confident that l am now in position
to get results.
Zone thing | hope to accomplish,
and Secretary Lane assures me that
he is right with me in it, is to have
every acre of the public domain in the
state surveyed Then | hope, and Sec
rotary Houston has given me every
assurance of help, to have all the pub
lie lands properly classified. After
all this has been done, when settler
squats on piece of ground, he will
know just what it's boundaries are,
and he will know to what class it be-
longs without having to wait five years
and then maybe be ousted."
Senator Brady has not a high opin-
ion of the Democratic tariff bill about
to become law.
But business might just as well
adjust itself to the new standard" he
said, because the bill is going
through. Any change that is now
made will be for the better When it
left the senate it was as bad as it
could well be, and the only changes
that can be made in conference is to
restore some of the house bill rates
cut out in the senate.
In my opinion the worst feature of
the tariff bill is it's rank discrimina-
ton against the west. Of the products
OF the eight Rocky mountain states
S55O,OO0,00O worth were placed on the
free list. That is certain to work to
the injury of this section, and | am
satisfied that the whole bill will prove
Injurious to business and be unpopu-
lar with the rank and file of the vot-
ers. ! elaborated this idea in the
speech | made in the senate"
Senator Brady is in favor of the en-
actment OF currency law "The adj
ministration bill passed the house."
lie said, just about as President Will
son wanted it. When it reached the
senate it was sent to the committee
on banks and banking. That commit
tee viii Wrestle with it for about three
weeks, when it will be brought before
the senate for general discussion. II
expect to be back in Washington by
tbat Tine There are good features
IN the bill. and some such law | am
sure would prove a blessing to the
west. 1t is not partisan question and
l sincerely hope to see a good bill en-
o'N,ou ihto law. Shall gamer all the
information possible on the subject
while | am in the west"
The senator declined to discuss
purely political questions. He did,
however, express qualification over
the outcome of the special election in
Maine. He regards it as fair indica-
ton OF the drift of public sentiment.
On the Mexican question Senator
Brady seems inclined to stand with
the administration. He is opposed to
intervention and is confident the Am
erican people will never stand for
Huerta. He thinks the administration
has been lax in protecting the inter-
ests Of American citizens in Mexico.
He thinks this could have been done
without embroiling the nations in war. |
One thing in particular has i'm
pressed itself upon Senator Brady
since his arrival in the state and this
is the excellence of the crops.
never saw such crops in the
state before he said. EVERYWHERE
l have gone it is the same-tremend- |
GUS crops OF all kinds, and good prices. |
Business is bound to be good with /
such conditions Just as soon as the
arising from tariff and
currency changes pass away"
Senator Brady will be the guest of
honor at a Commercial club lunch
