MINERS AND FARMERS.

Wallace Miner: Once IN while some,
thing happens that indicates that bet
ter understanding and therefore a bet
ter feeling is being reached between
these two great factors in western
progress and development. Indications
of this kind should be welcomed by the
farmers and miners Of Idaho In partic-
uiar. for each has much to gain by
cultNattng and encouraging closer rela-
lions. An incident Is reported from
Arizona which shows that the farmers
down there are beginning to realize
that mining makes the best market
for everything produced by the farmer
and therefore II Is directly in the in
terest of the farmer to encourage
rather than handicap the mining in
dustry. 1t is reported that young
Arizona farmer recently joined the
Phoenix chapter Of the American
Mining congress and took occasion to
explain his position to the members
In the following language:
81 wish that you could let me in
for two or three memberships. and
while / am about 1t I want to tell you
mining men that you have us farmers
sized up wrong. You have us charged
WIN bSAh6 HOSthc lOWdTu the lnOuS-
try, particularly toward the big COM
panies. But until you organized this
chapter you never did thing to let
us know how important the industry
was. We were busy with our alfalfa
our steers, our cotton and our sugar
cane. and had no time to find out for
ourselves how much money your copper,
gold and silver were bringing into the
state. II l had always known what 1
know now about the relative import
ance OF mining my attitude on great
many questions would have been decid-
eddy different. From this time forward
you can count on the farmers TO CO.
operate with the mining men. You will
find them ready to meet you half way
on public questions. such as taxation.
All my neighbors are going to join this
chapter and we are going tc watch its
work pretty closely. for we now real
lie that the development of mines
means the development OF markets for
our products"
This is a most interesting and sig

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO.

II Intervention in Mexico becomes
necessary. and we see no other solu-
tion OF the problem, this government
might call to its assistance the lead
ing South American republics as a
matter of recognition of their rights
and for the moral effect 1t would
have in convincing Latin America that
We have no selfish or Interior motive
In the matter. 1t is certain that the
present conditions of anarchy In Mex
leo cannot continue indefinitely and
the remedy must. sooner or alter, be
applied by the United States.
The administration has made two
serious blunders in dealing with the
Mexican situation. 1t Numbered in re-
second blunder was in removing the
embargo ON arms and ammunition.
Huerta was the recognized head of the
Mexican government. so considered by
the leading nations Of the world when
President Wilson fatty refused to ac-
quiesce with them In the acceptance of
situation which seemed to him to
be recognizing a murderer; but, who
can be recognized among the leaders
in Mexico without that stain upon
their hands? To have recognized Huer-
Ia and held him responsible for Next
can affairs would have ended the
trouble before this. To have backed
that recognition by continuing the en-
barge on arms and ammunition would
have put the various brands of revolu-
tionists out of business and resulted
in the election of president by the peo-
pie so far as that is possible in Mex
leo. But these things were not done
and the time is rapidly approaching
when Intervention must take place. 1t
| should come In the least offensive
way to the Central and South Ameri-
can republics. That viii be by recog-
nizing them in the matter and con-
sulting with them before active mea-
sures are taken to establish law and
order out of the present anarchy.
While the president pursues his
watchful waiting policy toward Mex
leo. famine rapine. murder and in
cendiarism run riot and rampant in

THE GOVERNMENT NEITHER HON.
EST NOR FAIR.

Caldwell Tribune: The government
of the United States is neither honest
nor fair, and as a matter of fact Vt
never has been. The government Is
not personal and in consequence no
one feels any responsibility for any
thing that may be done in the name
of the government.
Less than nine months ago the gov
eminent entered into contract with a
citizen of this city for carrying the
mails to and from Jordan Valley. The
contract was for a four-year term.
Acting upon the assumption that the
government had acted in good faith the
contractor and sub-contractor prepared
to handle the contract. Auto trucks,
wagons, horses, harness and other
equipment were purchased at cost Of
several thousand dollars With this up
to date equipment and by giving the
business intelligent and careful atten-
ton the contractors were making a
little money. AS soon as the govern
ment learned that they were making
money it at once abrogated it's contract
provided 1t can get one at a cheaper
figure. Otherwise the present con-
tract stands. If there is anything fair
honest or just about this proceeding
we fail to see it.
In years gone by this contract has
been taken at about half the present
price. Every man who has touched the
contract has gone broke. Contractors
and sub-contractors by the dozen have
tried 1t and every one of them lost
money. The parcels post business was
such that bonding houses refused to
furnish bonds at the old figures. This
OF itself forced bidders to raise their
price, even II the increased and un-
certain business did not.

Some of the eastern Democratic
journals. the New York Times among
Others, would attempt to lead their
readers to believe that there Is
growing sentiment among Republicans
favorable to the nomination of Taft
as presidential candidate in 1916 and
even predict his nomination. There Is
nothing to 1t at all; but there is
well defined purpose and method in
the Madness OF the Democratic press
in talking this kind of CUFF. The nom
ination, or attempted nomination OF
Mr.. Taft in 1916 would prove as serious
and inexcusable a political blunder as
was his nomination in 1912, which elect
ed Mr.. Wilson president. There Is no
demand or encouragement for sucn
action through any utterances of the
Republican press, nor Is there the
least occasion for such a course with
the splendid material availible in the
array OF prominent Republican states
men which have already been brought
to the front. Even what Is known as
the standpat press. while speaking most
respectfully of Mr.. Taft has treated
the suggestion of his presidential boom
let as a huge Democratic joke, with
very thin veneering. Goodwins week.
ly says: I'VE do not believe that is a
shrewd forecast. Mr.. Taft is brainy
enough, he is dead square, he is so
far as intellect and experience go
perfectly equipped, his integrity OF
purpose cannot be assailed; his patrio-
tism is as broad as the republic, but
the Republican party do not want him
for president, at least not during the
coming half dozen years. The first
reason is that he is not aggressive
enough He lacks what Colonel Roose-
Welt has too much Of. When elected
before, he declared that he would, as
nearly as he could continue the policy
OF his immediate predecessor. That
made clear that he had surrendered a
large part of his individuality to
another, so much so that he was blind
TO the manifest faults of that predecess-
or Again he failed in accomplishing
some things which were expected of
him. For instance, while the party
and the country wanted sensible tar
if revision. and while he advocated II
in his message. he did no more"

GOVERNOR sRoxANDER AND HIS
MILLION DOLLARS.

AS was to be expected Governor
Alexander is now making the clamorous
appeal that he has saved the state a
million dollars. II there Is any virtue
In cutting down the appropriations in
the legislature Governor Alexander
should receive no praise, for the cut
ting OF the appropriations was made by
the republican senate and at the be-
hest of the committee on finance with
a membership Of three republicans and
two democrats. While 1t may be true
at this time under conditions which
are directly attributable to a democrat
ic national administration, that Idaho
Is ready to stop in its march OF prog
ress, 1t Is also lamentably true that
much of the cutting was done without
proper understanding of situations in
all departments. The senate committee
on finance claimed that 1t received the
appropriation bills from the house too
near thee lose OF the session to prop
erly digest them. but that in the face
of a general appeal for the reduction
OF the running expenses OF the state,
made reductions which might not have
been made had the committee had time
to have gone into the problem deeply.
There Is a general feeling that the
states executive machinery is too COM
plicated and expensive. We have had
legislatures which have pandered to the
popular appeal of the very same men
who have now been most violent IN their
criticism In regard to public expend-
lures. but to make executive offices
suffer because the state has become
top heavy in some of these directions
Is without rhyme or reason. II II shall

In order to determine the saving
which Governor Alexander has affected,
even II we give him credit for every
reduction made and deny the legislature
any credit whatever, We must make a
comparison with the amounts expended
under the Haines administration.
There was appropriated for all pur-
poses by the twelfth legislature, the
sum OF 81, 404, 2S9. 60. From this amount
must be deducted the sum Of $12S,41SSs.
which was unexpended and which will
revert to the general fund In the state
treasury. From this also should be
deducted $500 appropriated to pay for
silver service for the battleship
Idaho" contracted for during the Haw
ley administration. and 100000 appro-
priated for the Idaho exhibit at the
San Francisco exposition. No one will
deny the Justice of deducting these
items from the general appropriation
bill of 1919, for the reason that they
form no part OF the cost of state gov
eminent Moreover the 100000 fair
appropriation Is as much for the Alex
ander administration as for Its pre-
decessor.
Deducting these three items from the
total appropriation made by the twelfth
legislature, we have a balance. which
must be charged against the Haines
administration for conducting all the
departments and institutions of the
state government. Of $2.16s.s 70.72. Sub
tracing from this amount the total APP
preparation made by the present legis-
lature OF $2,o13,765.4S, we find a maxi
mum saving in favor of the present
administration OF 1854, 604.52.
The total appropriation used by the
educational Institutions under the
Haines administration was $723, 4S4. IS.
The total amount appropriated under
the present administration is 1901. 100.
which shows that Governor Alexander
has succeeded in decreasing the appro-
priations made for the educational IN
situations, s122.044.65. II. now. we de-
duct this latter amount from the total
saving made. we have left as the re-
duction in the cost of all departments
and Institutions. $32 .55s.S7.
In other words where the governor
was not going to touch the education
al institutions at ALL he has struck them
blow in the sum of s122.044.65. and
where he was actually going to save
million dollars, the net result OF all
his labors Is the paltry sum of $50. 55s.S7.
What remains to be determined Is
ing shall not have been made at the
expense OF a greatly decreased efficiency
in service.
