WILL JOHN NJ. HAINES
Be A CANDIDATE?
Friends Of the Ex-Governor Assert That He VIII
Enter the Gubernatorial ConteSt--DeSireS
Vindication at the Hands Of Voters.

Intimate political friends Of John
M. Haines assert that the former
governor has practically made up his
mind to try for another term and
that he is only waiting for the pSy-
Geological moment TO announce his
candidacy. writes the Boise CORES
pondent to the Lewiston Tribune.
He Is said to be biding his time and
enjoying to the utmost the trouble
Governor Alexander Is now having
In explaining the higher taxes In
spite Of his oft-reiterated promise Of
lower taxes.
IL Is well remembered that John
M. Haines, republican. beat James
II. Hawley. democrat, for governor
on the slogan. Take Your Tax Re
ceipt to the Polls" He and his
hackers held Governor HawIey re-
sponsible for the increase Of taxes at
that time. It was a waste Of wind
to explain that the high taxes were
due to the actions Of county commits
sionerS, city councils, school boards,
and other tRx levyinR bodies. Gov.
ernor Hawley and his full cash

M. Haines got the full benefit Of the
spirit Of resentment aroused and Gov,
ernor HAwley went down TO defeat
In one sense there was justice IL
the fact that Governor Halnes wa
overthrown two years later by the
same weapons he himself had used
against Governor Hawley. He and
his friends insist that they made

This Ia theNondition that led TO
the electioe Of Moses Alexander last

votes. resorted 10 the same tactics
used by John NJ. Haines when he de-
feated Governor Hawley. Alexan-
der urged the voters to take their

dairy COW and it will produce a pound
of butter worth rs to 40 cents. The
difference in the value of the two is
so much in favor of dairying that it
more than makes up for the differ
ence in the amount of labor cost.
The same amount of feed that
produced a $50 steer is sufficient to
produce 800 worth of milk from a
dairy cow, and the owner has the
dairy COW left, whereas the man
who sold the steer had only the 500
the steer sold for.
The dairy cow will guarantee you
a steady cash income. No other
line of farming pays as we'll as dairy
ing does.
When you feed a steer it is a
speculation whether the carcass when
you sell it will return to you a pro-
| fit. But when you feed diary COW
you get cash return from it twice
a day.
Some men are real dairymen anC
make profit, others are only Gov
keepers and lose money.
Three things essential for success
full dairying are as follows:
Good cows, good feed and enough
of it. and the right sort of care.
One kind of cow converts feet
into beef. Do not keep her TO
dairying.
One kind of cow converts fee,
into milk. She is dairy COW. Sh
is the one you want to keep 70
: dairying.
Another kind Of COW makes neitt
er beef nor milk. Sell her quickly
You need cows that make you

many men are keeping unproftabI
Z cows.

SENATOR BORAH TALKS
ON NATIONAL ISSUES
Thinks the Underwood Tariff Bill VIII be Over,
hauled by the Next Congress Predicts That
Tariff on Sugar VIII be Retained.

Senator Borah has been campaign
ing in Massachusetts, for the past
two weeks for the republican ticket,
and will devote the closing days of
this month in New York state in the
interest of woman suffrage.
In an interview given to the Times
in New York on his way to Massa-
chusetts Senator Borah asserted that
it would be an easy matter to rout
the Democrats next year were it
not for the personal popularity of
President Woodrow Wilson.
There would be no trouble in de-
feating the Democratic party itself, "
he is quoted as saying. IF the ad :
ministration is successful it will be
on account of the personal popular
ity of the President. However, if
the Republican party does a wise
thing at Chicago and adopts liber-
al platform-one that is in harmony
with liberal policies and views, that
can stand the test-I am inclined to
think it will win out =
Senator Borah plainly intimates
that his ideas must prevail as to a
candidate and platform if the party
is to 60 into the next campaign with
a hope of success.
But" he. says, our ultrareac-
tionary friends who assume that the
liberal sentiment in this country has
been dying out. or that the pendu-
lum is swinging back, are greatly in
error. Those who hold that opinion
have not been out an ong hose '7hc
cast votes; and, so ia as all IN.
cerned, feel more deeply int rested
in the liberal campaign of 1916 than
did in that of 1912, because feel
that the issues have become more
vital"
1t is considered significant here
that Senator Borah uses the tern
liberal" now instead of progress
i've" as a broader term with a differ.
ent shade Of meaning.

The Senator made it clear that
while hefavors provisions for nation
al defense and is convinced that the
coming Congress will make such
provisions, he is opposed to the is
sue of bonds for raising revenues so
long as there is a chance for meet
ing the outlay through a readjust-
ment of import duties and the in
come tax. On this point he said in
his interview:
It is my belief that,a reasonable
readjustment of the tariff on what
now may be practically a revenue
basis, together with readjustment
of the income tax, will not only take
care of adequate measures for ma
tional defense, but enable US also to
eliminate the so-called war tax,
which is a nuisance.
We were collecting about $780,
100000 on sugar. in revenues, and
about $2S, 600, 900 on wool. Those
items alone indicate what tremen-
dous advantage there could be in
raising revenues by simply over
hauling the Underwood bill.
think that the tariff ON sugar will
certainly be retained.
There / s no possible argument
against it, and it is just as feasible
to put the tariff on wool. The great
cry for free wool was predicted on
the assumption that by taking the
tariff off wool, you were going to
make clothes cheaper. As matter
Of tact, the theory has not worked
out in practice. The consumer can
not get his clothes any cheaper today
than he could when wool was heavily
taxed"
Senator Borah makes no mention
in this interview or elsewhere of his
own possible candidacy for the presi.
dency as a republican next year, and
he is discouraging his friends from
discussing the subject at this time,

KIND OF FARMING
THAT PAYS BEST

N. P. Hull of lansing, Mich. who
is recognized as one of the most
prominent dairymen in the United
States, gave an address on Dairy
ing as q Business" at the Gem
State fair which was recently held
in Boise, from which we publish the
following extracts:
Too many dairymen in the ma
ton work year in and year out with
out any profit for themselves, while
others conduct dairying at a good
profit.
Every man interested in farm
ing should remember two distinct
things. First. he should handle his
farm SO the fertility of his farm is
increased from year to year. He
should leave his farm as a monu-
ment for his success as farmer.
You cannot build a more practical
monument. A great responsibility
rests upon the farmers of this state
and nation. They should keep ur
their fertility 50 the future of the
nation would be assured. The mar
who keeps up the fertility of his
farm is the one who grows abundant
crops and makes his farm a paying

Hoff of this place, died at las
o'clock Thursday, Oct. Ia at Gar

at Garland and brought here, ar
irving Saturday afternoon. Besides
her bereaved husband. the body was

and Miss Hattie Hess. her sisters,
who reside at Garland.

she came to Georgetown, where
she has lived ever since.
