EVENTS OF THE WEEK IN
IDAHO WITH THE Ed.
TORS COMMENT

BOISE is preparing to inaugurate the
new administration. For the second
time IN the history of Idaho there will
be Democratic governor while the
legislators and other officers are Re-
publican. The administration of
Governor Hawley which came to
close two years ago was an honest.
efficient and economical administra
ton. Governor Hawley made but one
serious mistake and that was when he
insisted upon the tull cash value
ton without preparatory legislation.
The result was an extra session of the
legislature which was charged to the
Hawley administration. There is
every indication that the Alexander
administration will be honest, efficient
and economical and there are indica
tons that Mr.. Alexander will be lust
as determined as was Mr.. Hawley in
putting into force pet theories. If
such comes to pass we may look for
ward to an early deadlock between the
executive and Legislative departments
of the state government which can
not help but hinder the reforms pro-
missed by all the newely elected state
officers.
Mr.. Alexander was elected upon his
platform of economy. He promised
great reductions in taxes for the pres
ent and the future elimination of all
taxes for state government He will
be, and should be, held to a strict per-
Torrance of his promise. There is
no way under the sun by which he
can escape the charge of ignorance or
duplicity if he fails. In holding him
to a strict account he is entitled to
put into force any reasonable meas
ure he may suggest. While on tie
stump Mr.. Alexander was indifferent
about the legislature or the balance of
the ticket. He as governor was go
ing to deliver the goods. Mr.. Alexan-
der and the people we'll knew that he
as governor was powerless unless he
received the help and cooperation of
the other state officials. We should
not put too fine a point on these pro-
misses made in the heat of the cam
paign. Let us give Mr.. Alexander
such help as we can. The Republican
party and the Republican officials
should be big enough to work with
Mr.. Alexander for the best interests
of all. By so doing one of two things
will happen. Either Mr.. Alexander
will point the way to real economy in
state government or else he will
stand forever discredited and blat-
ant Office seeker.
The Republican legislature should
keep in mind that Mr.. Alexander may
have some practical suggestions to Of
fer that will be of the greatest bene-
fit to the state. He is careful bust
ness man and quite frequently such a
man can see things overlooked by
others. The aim and purpose of us
all is good government and we should
not depise the suggestions of any
one.

BURROUGHS WILL START
DEMOCRATIC PARER
At RUPERT

Democratic success in the new
county of Minidoka at the recent cleo
ton has emboldened the members of
the party in that section to the extent
that they have gotten together and de-
clded to put in a brand new paper for
the propagation of theories of Will
son, Moses ct al. The venture is to
be established It Rupert, the county
seat of the new county and after look
ing over the field cal efully, the lead
ers then Offered the management of
the paper to Mr.. F. G. Burroughs of
Caldwell, who has accepted the pro-
position and will leave for his new
field of endeavor in week or so.
We congratulate the people of Rupert
that Mr.. Burroughs will more than
fill the bill.
Ire return of Editor Burroughs to
the Democratic fold indicates the be-
ginning of the end so far as the Bull
Moose party as an organization is
concerned. 1t is very apparent that
nothing can be gained for Progress
sive policies except from the inside
and the previous predictions of the
individual members will, as in this
case, take them either into the Demo-
cra1ic or Republican ranks, the much
heralded Progressive party following
the trail blazed by the Populist and
other thi; d party efforts that have be-
come memories only.
Mr.. Burroughs is wise in accepting
the offer of editorial management of
tire new Rupert paper made him by
the Democrats of Minidoka county.

BOISE SETTLERS ASK FOR
RESIGNATION OF THE
PROJECT MANAGER

The final meeting of the present
board of directors of the Payette-
Boise Water Users Association de-
veloped tidy little row which ter
minated in the adoption of strong re-
solutions asking for the removal of
Project Manager Bliss.
1t appears that there has for long
time existed feeling of strong dis
satisfaction among water users all
over the project against Mr.. Bliss
administration of their affairs. This
feeling has resulted from time to time
in complaints to the directors, but up
to this time no concrete action has
been taken at the meetings of the
board.
Last week, however, a written COM
plant from Mr.. ]. F. Bow, of Bow
mont. brought the matter squarely up
to the directors and that body ap-
pointed a committee 10 investigate
the charges. The discussion arose up
on the report of the committee. Mr..
Bow had charged that Mr.. Bliss in
terfered with the lateral running into
the townsite of Bowmont and the fact
that many other complaints had been
made by settlers all over the project,
alleging unfairness. discrimination,
and other acts, was taken into consi-
deration by the board in arriving at a
final decision. The board adopted the
following resolutions:
Whereas, having gone thoroughly
over the evidence in the complaint of
J. F. Bow against George H. Bliss,
Project Manager, and having gone
over the field in controversy; and
Whereas, we find that his complaint
is just and true; and
Whereas, we find a strong feeling
throughout the Project favoring the
removal of George H. Bliss, Project
Manager: Therefore be it
Resolved, that it is the sense of
this board that we recommend the re-
moval of Mr. Bliss from the Pro-
ject.
1t was ordered that copy of the
resolution be sent to Supervising
Engineer Weymouth and to the Sec
rotary of the Interior.
