TO THE VOTERS OF TWIN FALLS
COUNTY.

AS candidate for member of the
State legislature from Twin Falls
county, | desire to make clear my posi-
ton, since | am accused Of represent
ing but single issue, that of county
division.
am one of three regular nominees
of the Democratic party and stand for
every principle of good clean govern
ment advocated by that party.
Should be elected, shall use every
honorable means in my power for the
bettermnt of the laws of the state of
Idaho.
Some of the vital questions that will
come before the next session of the
legislature are revision of the revenue,
the public utilities, the primary, the
school, the highway and the liquor
laws. These are problems that only
business men and men of experience
along special lines should presume to
solve.
/ believe in economy and business
methods in conducting the affairs Of
the state. Taxation should be based
upon actual cash values as nearly as
can be ascertained, and all property
should be assessed upon the same bas
is and bear its proportionate part of
the burden of maintaining government.
Our present revenue law is ineffective
in that it discriminates and allows
class legislation.
l believe that the state should have
a public utilities law; but the pres
ent law is not fulfilling the functions
for which it was intended. Instead Of
regulating it is debating, and doing
the very things the people intended
that it should not do
The primary law is sorely in need
of revision that it may serve the pur-
poses for which it was drafted
Our public school laws are In de-
plorable condition and should be re-
written en- toto.
/ am firm believer in internal i'm
provements in the way of good roads
bridges, etc.; but do not advocate a
reckless haste in trying to accomplish
these improvements in too short a
time,& and thereby incur an expense
the people cannot stand. / believe
that a systematic method should be
worked out and followed from year tc
year until completed.
am in favor OF state wide prohibi.

every state in the Union.

Having been nominated at the pri-
mary election held September 1st for
the office of district Judge, | desire to
make the following announcement to
the people of the district.
If am elected Judge on the third of
November, will exert my utmost abil-
ity and conscientiously devote my time
and energy to the performance of the
duties of the office.
I believe that there is too much de-
lay in the courts. From my expert
ence at the bar | believe a large part
of this can be remedied by the judge.
l promise to use my best endeavor
to so systematic and arrange the
court work that litigants may be
granted speedy relief.
I also believe that the business OF
the courts can be more economically
administered without impairing the
functions. To this end / would be
willing to try all cases, in which the
parties or their attorneys might agree,
without jury, thus expediting bust
ness and saving litigants and the pub
lie the expense attending jury trials.
/ believe in the broad interpreta-
ton OF the law, and not in allowing
technicalities to defeat or impair 9
fair and substantial administration
of justice. w. A. BABCOCk.

English Tale of Wears Battle With
