INFORMATION FOR VOTERS

The two last legislatures have
made some changes in the election
laws that every voter should heed.
The various county central COM
mittees are required to appoint dele
gates to the platform conventions.
This they did Tuesday of this week.
The platform conventions are to
meet in Boise the 30th inst. and
they will probably remain in session
two days. All party candidates must
stand squarely upon their party plat
form.
Any voter may nominate any can
didate or even himself, by filing the
proper petition with the county re,
corder or with the secretary of state
First day of filing nominating petit
tons, July 8.
Last day for filing, August 2.
Primary election, September !.
At that primary separate ballots
will be provided for the different po-
litical parties, but the law provides
that all judicial candidates shall APP
pear on all primary ballots, without
any party designation or title, show
ing to what political party they be-
long.
Each voter must ask for the party
ticket he wishes to vote.
Each voter votes for two candi-
dates for judge of the supreme court
and for DISTRICT judge, without desg-
mating which is his first or second
choice, and the names of two persons
receiving the highest number of votes
go on the ballot in November. If
more than one Judge is to be elected
in any political subdivision of the
state, then the voter should vote for
twice the number of positions that
are to be filled at the general cleo
tion.
For the first time the voters will
vote directly for a United States sem
ator. Each voter will have two votes,
a first choice and a second choice, and
if no candidate receives 40 per csnt
of the first choice votes, then the first
choice votes are added to the second
votes and the candidate who receives
the highest number of first and Sec
ond choice votes will be declared the
nominee.
The county central committeeman
will be elected at the primaries, in
stead of being chosen by the success
full candidates, as the law stood two
years ago.

GOOD
ROADS
RELOCATING THE OLD ROADS
Average Life Ct Horses and Automo-
bles May Be Increased and the
Cost of Hauling Reduced.

The average life of horses and auto
mobiles may be increased and the
cost of hauling reduced, according to
the office of roads, department of
agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out of new ones. The natural tend
ency in road building is to build a
straight road whether it goes over
steep grades or hills or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles. The doctrine of the Office OF
roads is that the longest way around
may often be the shortest and most
economical way home, and that fire.
quently by building a highway around
hill or grade but little appreciate
distance is added and this is more
than Offset by the reduced strain OF
hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view is that the lay
ing out of road on this principle OF
avoiding grades necessitates in some
cases running the road through good
farm land or orchards of pastures in
stead of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
worn out fields and over rocky knobs.
This of course must raise question
in the mind of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up of
his property by a road yields him in
dividual advantages and so benefits
his community as to Offset the use OF
such land for road or to overcome
the inconvenience of having his land
divided. In this connection the office
of roads points out that the running of
a road and the resulting traffic
through good farm where there are
good cattle, horses, sheep, grain,
fruit or vegetables has a certain ad-
vertising value and in many instances
makes the land more valuable. In
other cases the Importance of such a

level road to the community is 80
great that it will repay those using
the road to give the farmer the equiv
alent in land equally good in place
of what he has sacrificed to the COM
mon welfare.
At any rate the Office Of roads is
now taking special pains to make
clear the economic advantage OF
avoiding steep grades in their roads,
even at some sacrifice of better land.
Investigations shows that the laying
of such roads over hills has resulted
more from the attention to the pres
ervation of farm lines than from
scientific attention to the problem Of
road building. According to the testi-
mony of farmers consulted where q
horse might be able to pull 1000
pounds on level road it would have
difficulty in pulling 5000 pounds up
steep hill. The size of the load
therefore tends to be measured by the
grade of the largest hill on the road
to market In a number of cases OF
actual experiment shows that the re-
locating of roads around hills has
been accomplished either with no ad-
dition in road length in some in.
stances, and with the adding Of only
a few feet to the highway in others.
The Office knows of no case where
a properly relocated road which has
cut out grades has led to any ques-
ton as to it's material reduction Of
costs.
