Only Citizens should Be Employed.
Under the authority Of the fundamen-
tai law Of contract the United States
government buys supplies in foreign
markets. AS an example a large order
fof armor plate for one Of the new bat
tiesbips was recently placed in Eng.

Mr.. Young said that as matter Of
principle he believed that the United
states government should only buy ma
terials that are manufactured at home
by citizen, labor and that only citizens
should be employed, by the government.
Another prominent contractor stated
that a law limiting federal government
employment in Hawaii TO citizen labor
was introduced in congress by Senator
Mitchell in 1904. II passed the senate
but was killed By the house committee,
to which II was referred There was
at that time much opposition to this
bill on the part OF both the Army and
the Navy departments, The arguments
used against the measure were that the

valuable knowledge of its needs.
His we'll recognized legal training
and his thorough knowledge of

James II. Frazier, the demo-
cratic nominee for state senator,
is making a vigorous campaign
for the Office and from the pres
ent outlook, seems assured of
success.
Like all the other candidates
on the Democratic ticket, he is
making his campaign on a plat
form demanding and pledging
economy in expenditures both
county and state.
In addition to this he is advo-
eating and pledging himself to do
all in his power to repeal the law
passed by the last republican
legislature which takes the as
sessing of the Washington Water
Power Company out of the hands
OF the county authorities and
places it in the hands of the state
board of equalization and also
provides that the taxes arising
from the company's property in
this county shall be distributed
between the counties of Bonner,
ShoshOne and Kootenai according
to the number of miles of pole
line in each county.
The operation of this law de-
prives this county of $4,000 in
taxes that rightfully belongs to
1t each year end. Mr.. Frazier
pledges himself it, elected to do
all in his power to have this law
] epealed.
lie also stands squarely with
| Hon. Moses Alexander in his pos
ition in regard to doing away
with useless and expensive COM
missions and boards, unnecessary
officers and other expensive frins
WHICH have added to the expense
OF the state and helped to in
crease the burden of taxation.
He promises to give his undi-
vided support to any measures
recommended by Governor Alex

ander that will have for their
purpose the abolishing or doing
away with these boards and COM
missions and to support any
measures recommended by him
That will do away with useless ex-
penditures and assist in lowering
the taxes.

extravaganza and n favor of

Mr.. Leeper has a wide acquain-
lance throughout the whole state,
which undoubtedly would be Of
immense value TO him in the leg
isiature.
Mr.. Leeper was educated in lae
schools of this state having On
Tered in the frs grade and conf
rletcd his education at the Uni
Vrrsily of Idaho. He is a grad
uate of Coeur d'Alene high school
and of the law department of the
University of Idaho.
He has worked as a laborer in
the sawmills, on railway con-
struction work and on the farms.
He is essentially a man of the
people, acquainted with the prob
iems that confront the people of
this county and state, and he is
in sympathy with all movements
tending towards their better
ment and advancements.
Believing that laws should be
fewer and simpler, Mr.. Leeper is
advocating the simplification OF
cur present revenue laws, and the
abolition of useless commits
sions, boards and officers both in
state and county governments.
He believes that the grevious
burdens of taxation which we are
now groaning under are the di-
rect result of the complicated
system now vogue, which makes
possible reckless, extravagant
and useless expenditures Of pub
lie moneys.
If permitted to represent Koo-
tenai county at the coming ses-
sion of the legislature, Mr.. Lee
per absolutely pledges himself to
hard, consistent labor on behalf
OF the interests of all of the peo-
pie of Kootenai county to the
strictest economy in the conduct
of state governmen, and 0 the
simpliflcation of our laws.
He further urges the repeal of
the law passed by the last ses-
sion Of the legislature, and voted
for by the four republican repre-
sentatives from this county who
then represented Kootenai coun-
ty, including Mr.. Edelblute OF
Rathdrum, now hunning for re-
election, whereby Bonner and
Shoshone counties receive sixty
five (65- per cent of the taxes
assessed upon the plant Of the
Washington Water Power COM
pany plant located at Post Falls,
Kootenai county, and whereby
Kootenai county loses approx
mately $4,000 in taxes annual
ly.
Mr.. Leeper is competent in ev-
cry way to fill the position tC
which he aspires, and will great
ly appreciate your support at th'
coming election.

unprecedented in the history Of

How Is This Far A
Business Administration?

Inc last legislature apprOpflaJ-
ed $4,000 for the maintenance Of
the state capitol for two years.
This was not to buy furniture. Il
was not to pay salaries. 1t was
simply to pay for heat, light,
power and janitor service-sim-
ply to run the building and
grounds and keep them in order.
This was better than $4,000 a
month. At the head of the COM
mission that was to spend this
money and look after this work
was Governor John M. Haines.
other active members were Sec.
OF State Clifford and State
Treasurer Allen. They were right
on the ground where they could
give the matter their personal
supervision.
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that the legislature
made it unlawful FOR any depart
ment of the state government to
go beyond its appropriation OF to
create a deficiency.
At the emo oi the Iirst i5
months of the Haines administra-
tion a newspaper reporter snoop-
ing around the state house, made
the discovery that the $4,000
was gone. The records of the
state auditors Office showed that
of the $4,000 there was Just 67
cents leftl
How is that for business ad-
ninistration?
And this is business that was,
or should have been, under the
personal supervision of Governor
John M. Haines. 1t was under his
very nose. 1t was not away off in
some distant state institution, but
right under the dome Of the cap
itol.
This means that the state house
right now is maintained on de-
ficiency warrants an direct viola
ton OF law. The $4,000 appro-
priated to run the building for
"a months was used up in is
months, and for the other nine
months the state house, presided
over by Governor Haines, the
business governor" is run in
violation OF law.
Is it reasonable to expect that
the other departments of the state
government will be run ecOnomi-
caly and in accordance with law
when this branch under the direct
, supervision of the governor anC
the man so intimately associated
with him shows such reckless ex-
travagance and such contempt fol
the law?
Sometime the books will b'
opened and the voters of the state
will be informed as to just wha
was done with this $4,000.
And speaking of business ant
business methods, what would tn,
: people of a community think o
a merchant like Mr.. Alexander fol
, example, who would run his stOrl
as John M. Haines has run tn
state house?
Is il any wonder that the vot
= ers, irrespective of party, are de
manding a change? Is it an.
wonder that they are sick AM
, tired of the Haines brand o

Three months from today the
San Diego Exposition will be
opened to the world. On this day
occurs the formal opening of the
Panama Canal whose completion
IS to be celebrated by the two ex-
positions at San Francisco and,

been marked by celebrations of
this sort, and no other event has
been of such prime Importance to
the country which is celebrating.
The striking features Of the expo
sitlons is that they are celebra-

which is completed and gone on .
but rather Of something which is
ahead; they might be considered
as heralding the mightier growth
OF the West thru presenting to the
