TAXPAYERS FAVoRITE.

For a number of years the citizens
of Idaho have been approached by pol
iticians of all parties at every election
by candidates for state office who
have told the voters of the burdens OF
taxation and promised, if elected, to
relieve the people by passing such
laws as would at least cut the taxes a
quarter if not thirty per cent.
! Many of the voters have lived in the
state for years and bi-ennially heard
this argument from political plat
forms and read 1t in campaign liter
ature and in vain. No relief has
come There is a candidate for the
nomination for governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket who is declaring that if
elected taxes will be reduced so per
cent and continues his salesman like
speech without giving the people any
definite way or legislative program by
which he expects to make this won
derful though needed reform. This
year is one in which a candidate will
be absolutely required to give an eX-

members OF the House had definite

Happy Jack ECker Claims Fat Man Gold Medal Weighs 70
Pounds; Feet Inches Around The Waist
PottSvilIe, Pa, Enters Regular
Mountain of Fellow in Fat
Mems RaCe-LookS Like He

Special Correspondence.
POTTSVILLE, Pa, June 30.-Your
correspondent was about to send out
news of the tremendous earthquake.
the first in Pennsylvania history,
which shook Pottsville today, causing
considerable damage TO chimneys and
bric-a-brac
But, instead, he is forced to send out
the glorious news that the champion
fat man of America has been found
The earthquake-it turned out-was
just Happy Jack" Eckert getting out
of bed. Many elephants and battle
ships and several mountains are
known to weigh over 739 pounds. But
Happy Jack" EckeTt is the only hu-
man being known-to the fat-man
contest editors, at least-whO has at
tanned that weight.
And he wasn't known-till today A
ponderous rumor has been Flooding
heavily about the country to the effect
that there was an agglomOratiOn of
adipOsity by the name of Eckert, who
exceeded by over a hundred pounds
the 626-pOund weight of Charles Jack
son, Massachusetts, claimant of the
grand gold medal in the fat-man con-
test.
Editors kept the wires hot, trying to
locate his royal fairness. but i'm vain.
They were skepticaL Surely, a man
of that size couldn't travel about with
out being noticed. He'd tip down the
side Of the continent, or cause some
other terrestrial disturbance that
would make his presence felt.
The Town TrcmbleS.
Well, the editors were right. Happy
Jack" Eckert got out of bed this
morning and the town trembled.
1t Is now trembling with pride, to-
discover that it harbOrs the hugest
human in history
Jack Eckert is travelling with a
street carnival. That has been his
profession for many of the years which
he has passed helping TO stabilize old
Mother Earth.
He was born in Sydney. Australia.
When he entered the ring he weighed
in at 9 pounds He is now "a years
old and has gained 72O pounds in those
81 years.
Happy Jacks circumference is his
prize dimension. He s. eight feet
seven inches around the waist! lie
is unable. because OF this size, to enter
carriages, and SO he does his travelling
from station TO hotel on a truck with
the scenery. In trains his manager
is always careful TO locate him in the
center of the car. SO there viii be no
danger of capsizinS II, and so the
springs at each end can cooperate in
bearing his weight.
Happy Jack is a member OF the
Loyal Order of Moose, belonging to
the Alexandria. La. lodge. He does
not claim 10 be the latest man in
the country. but none fatter has been
found, and il seems certain that Eek
ert will soon be wearing the grand
gold medal for being Americas big
geSt man.
