house Commissioner John l.. McLaur-
IN tonight made public copies of let
ters he had written President Kirven,
or the Fair Association, and Gov.-elect
Manning relative to securing the big
steel building at the Fair grounds in
which to store cotton. His letter to
the next governor said:
L am enclosing you a copy of an
open>letter to the president Of the
State Agricultural and Mechanical So
ciety, which I hope meets YOUR ap-
proval. If consistent with your views
respectfully request your assistance
in securing this property. You have
been consistent supporter Of the
state warehouse system from the be-
ginning and 1 feel assured that I can
count upon your cooperation in maxi
ing 1t success.
"Consratulating YOU upon your cleo
ton, and wishing you a peaceful, hap
py and prosperous administration of
public affairs during your term of Of
flee, etc.
20 President Kirven, of the State
Fair. Mr.. Mcl-aurin wrote:
THE General Assembly has develved
the duty upon me Of putting into op-
Grafton q warehouse system giving the
people the benefit Of storing cotton at
cost. The amount provided is only
$4,000, which, Of course, is barely
sufficient for the purpose Of organiza-
tton. In this financial emergency
cheap storage is paramount neces-
sity. The rates in many standard
warehouses have already advanced to
thirty cents 6. bale, which, with high
interest rates, makes it difficult to car
ry the surplus cotton over into 1916.
Some weeks ago EX-Mayor Gibbes,
In an interview in the Sttae, called
attention to this situation and said:
For the storage of cotton at this
time the galvanized iron and steel
ssape buildipg on the State Fair
grounds would afford exceptional ia :
cilitics." Mr. GiDbes further express
ed the opinion that you would well
come the opportunity to prove the val
ue Of the society to the farmers in
time Of emergency"
1T gives mc pleasure 70 offer you
this opportunity to give the farmers
q chance to store their cotton at cost.
The State has appropriated funds FOR
the Fair Association ever since is or
ganizatiOn, and this is splendid
chance to use these Quasi-public
buildings to serve a substantial public
use instead Of their lying idle for q
year.
Il will have my headquarters tenn
pOrarily at the jefferson Hotel, and if
this suggestion appeals to your judg-
ment | shall be glad to confer with
you. With the railroad tracks convc-
nioEt and with the city water, l be-
licve that | can offer the public cotton
storage cheaper than any warehouse
in the State, where rent must be paid
OF dividends Dc earned upon the capi-
tai stock. l. your society will permit
me, under proper safeguards, to use
the buildings until you need them next
fall the farmers in this state will ap-
preciatC your action and in my judG-
mcnt you will be more than rewarded
in the liberal support Of your aSSOcia

articles, and expresses himself as fol-
lows:
The Idaho Republican, published
by Byrd Trego, has been running a
series of articles on Reducing the
Taxes" in Bingham county. The
editor has made out his case, and
should receive vote of thanks from
the taxpayers of that county. He
must have spent many hours in go
ing through the records at the court
house to gather the information he
laid before his readers. The Jour
nal admires the Blackfoot editor for
his fighting qualities in the face of
what he has been made to stand for.
But we commend him to stand by
his guns. He has made more friends
in the state than he knows anything
about. Thrice armed is he whose
cause is just"
