An additional cost of $4,000 900 is
estimated as the government : expense
in this tremendous undertaking. The
broad scope OF the report which the
law demands complexities the work and
makes it extra expensive. The rail

FEDERAL ROAD BUILDING

Baltimore America: The passage
by the House of the Shackleford
bill, which authorizes the expendi-
ture by the national government of
$25 900, 900 annually In building postal
roads throughout the states upon an
apportionment plan, presents with
strong suggestiveness the possibility
that the federal government Is to be
committed permanently to this better
ment scheme. While this bill has
only been put through one branch of
congress, 1t Is passed the House by
vote of 282 to AZ. Notwithstanding
The smallness of the opposing vote
I'm the House, the fate of the bill in
the Senate Is regarded as doubtful.

MEASURES UP TO SENATORIAL
SIZE

Judge Ailshie has issued his form
al announcement that he will be can
didate for the United States senate
this fall. He will resign his seat on
the supreme bench, and make Wig
orous campaign for the republican
nomination for the senate. And he
will not again be a candidate for the
bench, or for any other office of any
kind, save the senate.
Judge Ailshie has had an unique
record on the bench. He was nomi-
mated by reclamation, twelve years
ago. Six years ago, he was renomi-
mated by exclamation, there not be-
ing any other name even talked of as
candidate. And then the democrats
recognizing his ability, his fairness,
and the impossibility of beating him,
did not nominate candidate against
him. That is an unheard-of record.
He has lived up to this most signal
recognition. His work on the bench
has been OF the highest order. The
Recorder has the statements of some
of the highest democratic politician
lawyers in the state, that he is the
strongest, biggest man who ever sat
on - Idaho bench. Most of his

AlLSHlE THE ABLEST MAN

Judge James F. Ailshie has an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for the United States senate. If
anything were needed to encourage
Judge Ailshie in his candidacy it was
the apathy with which the announce
ment of Congressman French was re-
ceived. Whatever may be his worth
the people Of north Idaho will not
support Mr.. French. They favor ALL
SHE above any other candidate that
has announced himself. Just how far
sectional support will go Is a Ques-
ton. The friends of Judge Ailshie
think that 1t will give him the sup
port of north Idaho.
Judge Ailshie has served the people
of Idaho with honor and fidelity. He
has been a member of the supreme
court for nearly twelve years and
undoubtedly the ablest man we have
ever had ON the bench with possibly
the exception of one man. He is a
clear thinker; forceful speaker; and
a man progressive in thought and
action.-Caldwell Tribune

What kind of q democracy do you
call 1t, dear reader, where a minor

ected through a fatal split in the
dominant party caused by the selfish
ambitions of two fractional leaders,
assumes the dictatorial role in such
high-handed manner as to put to
blush the case hardened cheek of Joe
Cannon (the personification of all
that is bad in politics, according to
democratic authorities); repudiates
his own party platform upon which h
was elected; carries on a political
filtration with the rebel banditti for
the overthrow of a neighboring sis
ter republic, and has his emmjssaries
parcelling out postoffices in the larg
est republican communities of this
state, and not even giving the re-
publican majority which is to be serv
ed with mail through this federal Of

between the democrats which are to
be named? II that Is democracy

vote cancelled the midnight sale OF
740 acres of land made by one OF
their agents to Harry Shellworth,
representative of the Payette Lum-

far better had the transaction never

that could be done by the board to-

rated among the states, in accord
with the distribution method provid
ed in the Shackleford bill, would
apportion to Maryland 1921 $50 for
each year the law remains in force
Government money used for road
building under the provisions of this
measure would be made available up
on a plan similar to that provided
in the Shoemaker Road Law-the
original good roads law of this state.
That is to say, each state receiving
aid from the federal government in
road building would be obliged to ex-
pend at least an equivalent amount
for the same purpose from state
funds.
Every member of the Maryland
delegation voted for the bill. Repre-
sentative Linthicum made a speech
in favor of it, during which he took
occasion to explain what has been
accomplished in this state in way of
good road building. The important
significance of this bill lis in that, If
enacted, it will commit the national
government to a new scheme of in
ternal improvements. The money
which it is proposed to expend in
each state during the first year is
not of great Importance, but as a
permanent scheme the proposal is of
tremendous significance.

of holding decided views on all mat

Recently the Lewiston commercial

been prominent and very active in
the development of the Snake and
Columbia rivers for the opening up of
a waterway from this interior country
to the ocean, and is strong advo

committee did not state Mr.. Meals
opinion on this important subject, but

members Of congress, this Democratic
president, who stands as the represen

dictator In matters of legislation
the parallel Of whom was not known
In the time of Henry, Nicholas OF
Huerta. He would veto the will OF
the majority, and suit his own per.

Under the guise of Independent at
titude he secretly connives with the
worst band of outlaws Mexico has
ever known in the hope Of materially
assisting in the plan to GUST the ex-
listing form of outlaw government, in.
stead of maintaining a dignified posi-
ton of neutrality
He declares the tolls exemption a
violation of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty and toadies to a monarchy in
stead of maintaining fairness toward
American institutions.
Indeed, the majority would better
attend to its knitting hereafter and
elect a president that represents the
people, rather than fussing so much
ON the fool proposition of creating a
break in the politician ranks.
