THE ROAD WILL BE BUILT.

There has been some street talk to the effect
that the Barber Lumber Co. was under no obi
CATION, except moral one, to build a railroad
into the Boise Basin. This talk is not well
founded. The Barber Lumber Co. has filed
with the Governor bend in the sum Of $751;
10000 to build standard guage railroad to the
Boise Basin. The work of building the road
will be started as soon as weather will permit
We're there no such bond the company would
still build the railroad for in no other way could
it get the timber ont. This timber is ripe and
should be manufactured into lumber during the
next few years. Another thing that will force
the early harvest of the timber is the fact that
timber beetles are at work in the Basin. They
will destroy an immense amount of timber in a
short time
The wisdom of the State Land Board in
selling this tract of timber is becoming more APP
parent each day. A great many were inclined
20 minimize the development work that would
immediately follow They are no longer. in,
olined to do this. The railroad and mill above
Boise will give employment to several thousand
men-a few thousand more than the Barber peo-
pie will, themselves, employ An era of devel-
opment throughout that section of the state will
follow. A big benefit will immediately come to
the farmers of the Boise valley in the way of
cheaper lumber. We do not believe that the
mill will reduce the cost of first class lumber t.
any great extent, 1t will make available poor
er class of lumber that can be used for barns,
sheds and rough buildings The farmers can
use tins cheap lumber for great many things
which now require high price lumber

foot; Senator ID. W. Davis of American Falls:
Hon. G. L. Hoffman of Rathdum and Spirit
Lake, and Hon.. John r. Volmer of Lewiston.
Mr.. Hodges says that taxation is the issue;
Judge Stevens will make the reform of the in,
dietary the question; Mr.. Davis will take his
stand on the early sale Of state land holdings
Judge Hoffman believes that state wide prohi-
bition is the problem; Mr.. Volmer wants bust
ness administration; Governor Haines will stand
on his record, We believe that these men point
out burning issues, but unhappily for five of
them, Governor Haines has taken to himself all
the thunder. He first introduced the tax issue;
has fought for reform; advocated rapid sale Of
state land holdings; signed the most effective
prohibition, law the state has ever had; and is
giving the people busness-like administration
There is no reason why Governor Haines
should not be the candidate of all the other can
didates He stands for the things that they adj
vocate. He has done something along the line
OF securing the blessings wanted. In addition
he has not failed to accomplish other reforms

eminent, let us have statewide prohibition.
PLUToCRACY, PoLYGA1EY AND PROHI-
BITION

Hon. A. F. Parker of Grangeville recently
visited Boise. He learned several things at
Boise, which information Is published IN the
Lewiston Tribune Among the interesting
things coming to the attention of Mr. Parker is
that 'hard and fast alliance between pluto
cracy, pOlygamy and prohibition" exists in-thls
state. 1.-THE proposition" he continues, seems
to be that Idaho is to be made prohibition
state while Utah is to be kept wet, whereby the
Mormon church distilleries, breweries and co
operative stores will have mighty nice mo-
nopoly on the liquor business of Idaho. The
w. G.. Z. u leaders are of course hand and glove
with the Salt Lake hierarchy on this PROPOSE
ton
There is no telling what dreams may come
to north Idaho man who visits Boise. We have
heard of them going home with the idea that
the north was to furnish the next governor. The
information gathered at Boise is not to be de-
pended upon Mr. Parker does not explain just
what connection exists between plutocracy and
polygamy on the one hand and prohibition on
the other; neither does he define the peculiar adj
vantage that will accrue to Utah, over other
states by making Idaho dry. In fact he over
looks details with surprising indifference.
If the Mormon church wants to benefit Utah
distilleries and breweries it would have eXerted
an influence to defeat the present search and
seizure law The business Utah houses do with
Idaho people is confined to the southeast. Inc
entire southeast, except Power county, IS now
dry. What good could statewide prohibition
do?
Mr.. Parker is simply talking through his
hat The Mormon people believe in the sup
preston of the liquor question. In Idaho they
have made their counties dry. They are doing
the same thing in Utah. 1t will not be long be-
fore both states are dry. There is at present
a strong prohibition sentiment in Utah and the
sentiment is growing as fast as it is in Idaho.
In view of the sentiment of the Mormon people
it is not surprising that w. G.. L. u. people are
yovl,sp Ar,sf1 40 do wifi
whom they could work to secure results quicker
than with the MormOns.

The Women's Political Union, Harriet
Stanton Blatch, president, would amend the
federal constitution, in order that the represen-
taton of states in the electoral college would re-
present the voting strength of the states. 1t is
pointed out that under present conditions the
states are not fairly represented. As an illus
tration, Louisiana, Connecticut and Washington
are taken. Louisiana has a population of l.
656, 1888; cast 1909 votes at the last election;
and has 10 votes in the electoral college Con
nectcut has population of ], ia, 756; cast 19l,
664 votes at the last election and has votes in
the electoral college. Washington has popu-
lation of ,141 800; cast 322 1919 votes at the last
election and had votes in the electoral college.
The showing in this way is not fair to northern
states and still less fair to western states. The
Union would change the system in order that the
representation in the electoral college would
rest on the voting strength Of the state.
1t is apparent on the face of it that the vot-
ing strength is not fair basis for representa-
ton. The franchise is privilege, granted by
the states subject only to the fifteenth amend
ment of the constitution Of the United States.
Some restrictions are provided for in the four
teenth amendment but these provisions are dead
letters Children are not allowed to vote, but
we know of nothing, except our state cOnstitu-
tion that denies this state the right to extend
suffrage to minors 18 l6 or ten years of age
It can be seen at once, that If representation in
the electoral college is based on voting strength
that some states might extend the franchise to
every inhabitant in the state thus creating
more deplorabe condition than that complained
Of
The southern states, in one form or another
have disfranchised the negro. They will not
permit negro domination in their government
This is the reason for the small vote cast in
Louisiana. There would be nothing right non
fair in reducing the electoral vote of this south
ern state with its population of over q million
and half to the same basis as Nevada or Wyo-
ming with tenth of its population even though
the vote cast in either of these states might
nearly equal that Of Louisiana

But of 33 counties in the state % are drv
and IL are wet The counties that have once
been dry are with one exception dry today. The
people of the state of Idaho believe in the sup
preston of the liquor traffic and they will insist
that it be suppressed.
We believe that the great majority of the
people, irrespective of their ideas of the efficacy
OF prohibition, would welcome such law if they
had any assurance that the passage of the
law would settle the question for awhile at least
Every election; every proposal; every move
