Jay Gibson, Cashier Of the First National Bank, is a
great admirer of M. +. Lewis, the North Idaho farmer and
business man, who is a candidate for the nomination for
Governor on the Republican ticket. Mr.. Gibson, whose
father is a resident Of Moscow, and a neighbor of MI. Lew
is, has known, or known of Mr.. Lewis all his life. Speak
ing of him Mr.. Gibson said:
"Mr. Lewis is one of the best business men | ever knew.
He came to Moscow about fifteen years ago from Iowa,
and ever since has been one of her leading citizens. He
is extensively engaged in farming and makes it pay. His
farms, about 1000 acres in all, are located in Latah, Can
yon and Gooding Counties. All Of them are well improved
and are being made as productive as possible. He keeps
no idle land for speculation. AS soon as he acquires a
piece of land it is put under cultivation. He is one of the
most successful farmers in the state.
"As a business man / know of none better, His success
is based upon a combination of energy and rare Judge
ment. He is an untiring worker, and his life has been as
ed governor, he will make an excellent one. Whenever the
people of Moscow or Latah County need a man to pull any
public or semi-public enterprise out of the financial mire,
they always turn to Lewis and he always gets satisfactory
results. He is a determined man and whatever ne under
takes is carried through to success, whether it be a public
or private enterprise.
"As a man and citizen there are none better. He is inn
plicitly trusted and universally esteemed. Those who
differ with him differ on principal, and not because he is
narrow or selfish.
"He has the determination and integrity of purpose Of
former Senator Hepburn, although not endorsing Hey
burns ideals. But like Hepburn, he will stand for his con-
victions at all times, but does not become soured if the
public does not agree with him. When he talks about
economy and a reduction of taxes, he means what he says
and if elected, the people will get just what he promises.
The public can take him at his word and rest assured that
he will keep absolute faith with them"

IDAHO ELECTS TWO CoNGREssMEN

Idaho elects two congressman this year out of a large
field. OF the Republican candidates it is conceded that
Addison I. Smith, will win in a walk. He has made an ex-
cellent servant of the people and is really one of the most
useful young members of the lower house.
Of the other candidates, R. 0. Jones of Kellogg, should
appeal to the voters. He is a Republican of the Borah
stripe, and it has been a matter of comment in many parts
of the state that zone of the Jones boys is always in the
legislature when Borah is a candidate" And this is true.
The Jones family is very prominent in Wardner and Kell-
ogg, and influential enough to get one of their number in
the legislature by common consent whenever they desire
to be there and in fact, they are usually solicited to run to
add strength to the ticket. One brother is in the banking
business at Wardner and another at Kellogg. r. O. Jones
who is a candidate for congress is engaged in mining.
Smith and Jones are two good names for Republican
farmers to remember. 1t is only fair that one of the mem
bers of congress should come from the north, and those
who know him believe Jones should be the man. He is
clean in both public and private life, and capable and cul-
tured. No more worthy man is seeking office.

ASSESSORS REVOLT AGAINST TAX COMMISSION

The assessors of the State in convention at Boise last
week revolted against the action of the State Tax Commits
sion in fixing land values. They claim that farm lands are
assessed too high in comparison to timber lands and cor
porate property. When this report was thrown among
the assessors they fell upon it like hungry wolves and
when the storm blew over it was found that they had UNI
animously laid it on the table. The vote was "a to z with
two counties not voting.
The net increase made by the Tax Commission in the
valuation placed on lands other than timber lands was
$5,379,391 and the net decrease in timber lands was
$2,747084. In Clearwater county it was charged that the
Tax Commission had increased the value of cut-over land
in that county from SIP to SIS an acre, and at the same
time it had placed a value on theland and timber where the
white pine timbe had been untouched at $1S.44. The as
SCISSORS justified their vote by insisting that when timber
land values were cut it placed just that much greater bur-
den on other property, and that when agricultural land
values were raised in the face of the cut in timber values
it was time for every farmer in the State to register a pro-
test. Bannock, Bear Lake, Bingham and Clearwater
values were increased 5 per cent; Kootenai, Minidoka,
Oneida and Shoshone counties were increased 10 per cent;

pected shortly.
Following his arrest and the clos
ing of his saloon, Wiegland commenc-
ed suit against the officials for an in
junction restraining the officials
from confiscating or destroying his
property which he valued at $4,000. In
their answer the defendants set forth
that Governor West had proclaimed
martial law in Copeprfield following
receipt of a petition from residents
of that town and after satisfying
himself that the saloonkeepers. most
OF whom were town officials, were
openly and notoriously vioating tho
| law and that the officials of Baker

Attorney James Nichols for Wieg

ground that 1t did not state fact
