PROGRESSIVE COMPARED TO popuL1sr

The Montpelier Examiner is pnblisbad Inv
Mr. Z. g. Wright, who was a member of the last
legislature and personally acquainted with the
men who composed the two bodies. In an ed
Itonai which appeared in the last issue of the
Examiner Mr. Wright compares the present dav
FrogresSlves with the old time Popufsts, He
states that Populist rule prevailed for several
years and there is not a man living TODAY who
can point with pride" to the Popnlist admin
lstratlon IN any state where they held sway Tho
editorial continues:
In many respects the Progressives Of
today are counterparts of the Populists of
70 years ago. They consist largely of dis
gruntled politicians from both the old par
ties. They are demanding retrenchment
all along the lme-so did the PopuGsts
They say, let the people rule'.so did thn
fopulSts; They propose legislation. soma
OF which looks good on the face of it-so did
the POpulists VI"
What was the4esult in most instances
where the Populists were placed in mowers
1t was simply this: conditions went from
pad TO worse; the promised reforms proved
to be utterly impracticable, and in a few
short years nearly all of the well meaning
people who had followed the false god of
Fopuhsm, returned to the folds of the Dem
Ocratlc and Republican parties.
we do not mean to saw that there is not
need OF retrenchment and reform in Idaho
for there certainly is great need for if. and
tne Examiner would like to see the wheels
OF our state and county governments

trough locked" and kept that way I'M
til the people come to their senses sui
hciently to realize that a sparsely set
tied commonwealth like Idaho cannot
keep pace with states which have ten
times its wealth and population. That
is Just what the people of Idaho have
been doing, until they have reached
the point where taxes have become a
burden. 1t has been demonstrated
countless number of times that
man cannot live a fried oyster lite on
a fried liver salary.
But what assurance have we that
the Progressives will apply the rough
lock, should the reins OF government
be placed in their hands, If the
records of some of the leading Pro-
gressiyes in tie last legislature are
criterions by which to Judge the par
ty as a whole, there certainly would
be no retrenchment if that party was
placed in power. Retrenchment does
not come by the enactment OF need
less laws, many of which were pro-
posed by Progressive members Of the
last legislature.
The Republican party is made up
of just as capable and honest men as
those who are now trying to orga-
nize third party.
The Republicans of Idaho have the
welfare of the state just as much at
heart as do those self styled pat
riots, some of whom are crying for
reform for no other reason than that
they hope to ride into office in the
same manner as did the "reformers'
of Is years ago.
The word Progressive is high
and good many unthink
ng people will join the movement sim
ply because it sounds nice to say 81
am Progressive What the people
Of Idaho want to do is to retrogress
for few years-go back to simpler
forms of government, stop the enact
nent of any and all fad laws, repeal
many of the useless laws now on our
statutes; in fact let us live within our
means for few years.
If to advertise such policies means
hat we are to be termed "a stand nat-
er," we gladly accept the title and will
stand pat for the strictest economy
III along the line and against the en-
Ictment of all laws which will increase
he cost of state and county govern
nents."

HUERTA SYMPATHIZ-
ERS ARE COMING HER

Huertista federals are coming TO FL
Faso from all parts of northern Mex
leo and along the Texas-Mexican Dor
der. The former federals are seeking
employment as they realize that there
is no chance for them to return 10
Mexico and resume their occupations.
The hotel lobbies and the plazas are
filling with the former federals who
have taken a prominent part in the
Mexican revolution in support of
Huerta
One Of the prominent federals w-o
has arrived here is G. Villareal, a fed
eral commander on the Mexican Dor
der, who came to the American side
and has taken up his temporary resi-
dence in FL PasO- Secret service men
do not believe that these Huertistas
are trying to start any more revolu-
ticnary trouble in Mexico, but are only
coming to FL PasO in search of EN-
ployment, as they realize that all hope
OF employment in Mexico is gone for
the present at least, in the territory
controlled by Villa.
