FACTS FOR THE VOTER.

Since the present Democratic law
went into effect, our purchases from
foreign nations have increased 102
million dollars, while our sales
abroad have decreased in the same
time 10s million dollars. We have
bought more and sold less, and the
most Of which we have bought from
abroad should have been produced
at home. We have lost in foreign
commerce since this bill went into
effect not less than $50 million doll

months of the Underwood law, they
would have contributed twice million
dollars to this government.
With all this sacrifice, the consum-
err has not paid one cent less for his
lumber, in the same time 10 million
dollars has been given to the Sugar
Trust, and the consumer pays more
for his sugar. To the foreign wool
grower donation of 20 million dol
lars in duties has been made, and
wooden clothes cost no less than be-
fore. The importers of beef and cat
tie have been relieved of paying 5
million dollars toward the support Of
this government, and the overbur-
dened taxpayer pays more for his
meat. Now, to make up the deficit
thus produced, and from which the
consumer has received no benefit, the
people of the country are asked in a
so-called war revenue" bill to pay
direct tax of 105 million dollars, in
addition to the tax burden they are
already bearing, at time when our
nation is at peace with all the world.
Are you going to vote to continue
his kind of Democratic inefficiency?
Are you going to vote for James H.
iawley, in place of James II. Brady?
Iawley says he is in favor of these
'olicies. Brady is opposed to them.

the people Of the state. The disgrace
full discovery coming on the eve of
election has been met by him cour-
apeously and with determination
that all the facts should come to light
regardless of who they involve and
that no guilty man should escape if
it was in his power to expose him and
bring him to justice. He has made
the interests of the state of Idaho his
first consideration, the political for
tunes of himself and party second. He
and other candidates on the Republic
can ticket cannot in any sense be held
responsible for the crookedness of
Allen, and the zeal and earnestness
displayed by the governor in going to
the bottom of the affair should com

Moses Alexander is spending money
for campaign purposes like spend
thrift. He is pouring it out in every
quarter Of the state. If his extrav-
agance in his campaign is criterion
of the man, as it undoubtedly is, he
would prove an expensive official to
have in the state house. He is equally
as extravagant in his promises as he
is with his finances. He claims TO be
worth million dollars to the state

marked down to 80 cents.

the legislature has more to do with
keeping down the state appropriations
than the governor or other state Off

OF the present board of county COM
missioners, two--W. B. Mitchell and
E. A. Blair-are candidates for re-
election. The third is Dan Campbell
of Caldwell, man too well known to
most of the people of the county to
need an introduction. He is sub
stantial citizen and for many years
was prominent business man. He
knows the county like book and is
thoroughly capable. As to Mr. Mitch
ell and Mr.. Blair, the greatly reduced
tax levy is strong indication that
they have not been wasteful of the
peoples money or derelict in their
duty as public servants. The Emmett
country has no reason to complain of
discrimination in appropriations for
road improvements-in fact, the COM
missioners have been generous.

The disreputable attack made upon
the present county officials by politi-
cal sorehead will be rebuked at the
polls. The Index has stated before,
and repeats it now, that Canyon coun-
ty is fortunate in having had a set Of
officials who have not only been eff
Gent and trustworthy in the highest
degree, but have conducted the coun-
tvs business in such an economical
manner as to be able to reduce the
taxes approximately so per cent this
year. The only thing the opposition
has to offer is promises. Republican
officials point TO the fulhllment of
their promises, An ounce Of fulfill
ment is worth ton of promises. The
record these men have made entities
them to reelection, and their majority
should be so large as 10 express inl
unmistakable terms the rebuke which
the slanderous attacks Of disgrun-
tied office seeker SO richly deserves.
