SENATOR GOODINC
TAKES LOOK AHEAD
IDAHo'S GOVERNOR AND sENA-
TOR BRADY HAVE BOTH MADE
GOOD, IN OPINION OF LINCOLN
COUNTY REPUBLICAN.
lBoise statesman.D


Governor Haines is particularly
strong in Lincoln county because of
his administrative record and it may
be counted upon to give him and the
entire Republican ticket a safe ma
jority. or at least that is the opinion
of Senator Fred Gooding. who has been
in the city the past few days.
In discussing the political outlook
in his county, Senator Gooding said;
Governor Haines is particularly
strong because Of his administrative
record and our county maybe counted
upon to give him and the entire ticket
a safe majority. The administrative
record of the governor is generally in
dorsed. He has absolutely made good.
By his investigation and exposition of
tax conditions, local and state, he has
already accomplished a reduction in
taxes and the work has only begun.
The majority of the counties are re-
porting a lower rate on a less valua-
tion this year. The direct levy for
state taxes this year is only 100000
as against S1O16, 6,OS627 in 1912 dur
ing the last year Of Governor Haw-
ley's term. This great reduction in
our taxes is significant when we take
into consideration the fact that it has
been effected despite the fact that the
last legislature appropriated $780,
600 for a public utilities commission
and a tax commission, S100,000for
the Panama Pacific exposition, an ad
ditional expense estimated at $4,000
for travelling expenses for state Off
cials and employees by reason of the
fact that they are no longer furnished
free transportation and s75.545.sS for
defiencies arising during Governor
Hawley's administration. This is a
remarkable showing. Not only has
economy been practiced in the running
expenses of the state but the earnings
of nearly all of it's departments have
been increased. Republicans can point
to all this with pride.
Urges Election of Brady.
st also want to emphasize the i'm
portance of electing Senator Brady
and our candidate for congress. The
tariff question is not dead. The logic
of the position of the Republican
party upon this issue has been mate
rally accentuated by Democratic leg
islation. The so-called war tax" is
not a war tax, but a Democratic def
cit tax. 1t would have been necessary
had there been no war. The duty has
been taken off of what the farmer has
to sell, but has been left upon what
he has to buy. The reduction of the
tariff has been upon the finished pro- /
ducts and not upon the raw material, |
the baneful effect upon the west can |
be easily realized. The balance or
trade has turned against us before the
war was hardly in its inception, evil
dencing that Democratic adninistra-
tions and deficits go hand in hand
Our customs receipts had already ma
terially fallen off. President Wilson's
administration has increased the bur-
den of the people of this country by
its extravagant appropriations and at
the same time decreased their ability
TO meet that burden by their tariff
law. Just think of it. his administra
ton has already cost the country one
l. |
Republican administration ever cost it.
Living up to their advocacy of econ
omy, well. hardly.
HawIey Votes Caucus Vote.
Some of the Democratic leaders are !
putting up the argument that Cover ,
nor Hawley should be elected because
he would be in touch with the national /,
Democratic administration and could ;
accomplish more for the state. This h,
is a mistaken idea. The Democratic !
party in my opinion, is doomed to de- +
feat two years from now and it be- !
hooves Idaho to look wen to her in ,
terest Then evenl were Governor :
Hawley elected, he would probably do =
as Democratic senators from the west (
have done-be whipped into line, be- :
cause of having patronage withheld if c
he did not act with the administration +
