ADDISON T. SMITH AND HIS
VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

The splendid vote given Addison T..
Smith in the recent primary leaves no
place upon his service in congress. He
Is just rounding out his second term
In the lower house, and there is no
doubt that he will begin his third
term on March 4. The people of Ida
TO are beginning to realize the value
of service to a congressman, and that
when representative has made good,
the proper thing to do is to keep him
or the job. The valuable experience
that has come to Mr.. Smith in his four
years service is in reality an asset in
which the people of Idaho share, for
it adds to his usefulness as their rep
resentative in the national capital.
Mr.. Smith now is a member of the
committee on public lands, perhaps
the most important committee of the
house from the standpoint of the west.
This has enabled him to exert unusual
Influence in shaping land legislation
in which the people of Idaho are di-
rectly and deeply concerned. In fact,
considering that he is a member OF
the minority in the present congress.
his record of accomplishment has
been remarkable. Assuming that the
next house will be in control of re-
pubicans, Mr.. Smiths two terms will
entitle him to an advanced position in
committee assignments and possibly
to the Craftsmanship of the public
lands or other committee of equal i'm
portance. thus increasing his prestige
and ability to accomplish Legislative
results. 1t pays to keep good rep
resentative on the job.

Mr.. HUGHES AND HIS ATTITUDE
TOWARD LABOR.

About the weakest attack that has
been made on Charles f. Hughes, and
the one that is recolling upon those
who are responsible for 1t with disas-
trous effect, is the charge that he is
hostile to labor This charge was or
isinally made by Samuel Gompers
head of the American Federation of
Labor, man who is first democrat
and then a leader of labor. Mr..
Hughes and his friends were spared
the necessity Of refuting the charge.
for it was contained in an editorial
published in the official organ of or
ganized labor in New York at the
time the republican candidate was
elevated to the supreme bench. No
higher testimonial could be given to
a man for his friendship and sympa-
thy with labor than that contained in
the editorial from labors own organ.
Here 1t is, and it is an appeal to every
wage Garner and every friend of labor
to support Mr.. Hughes:
Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from politics and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
In the world, the fact can be acknowl-
edged, without hurting anybodys po-
litical corns, that he was the greatest
friend of labor that ever occupied the
governors chair at Albany. During
his two terms he has signed Sc labor
laws, including among them the best
labor laws ever enacted in this or any
other state. He also urged the enact
ment of labor laws in his message to
the legislature, even going so far as
to place the demand for labor law in
one of his messages to an extra ses-
sion of the legislature. Only 1862 la
Dor laws have been enacted in this
state since its election in 1777-in 1876
years. One-third Of these, exceeding
in quality all others, have been enact
ed and signed during Governor
Hughes term of three years and nine

Hughes. But in giving his approval
to a tariff commission, which origin
ated with the republicans and has now
been taken up by the democrats in
desperate effort to save themselves
from the wrath to come in November,
Senator Poindexter expresses himself
in a manner that will not be accepted
by the republican party:
Tariff schedules should be flexible.
| will advocate this. The administra-
tive tribunal known as the tariff COM
mission must be capable of altering
the rates to fit the conditions. we
have thousands, of fixed schedules,
and tomorrow the cost of labor may
change, in a month the cost OF pro-
duction may change, and consequent
Nv the amount of protection should
change.
"The tariff commission provided for
In recent legislation will not give US
this kind of protection. 1t will merely
Investigate"
The law making power of the gov
ernment is vested solely in congress,
and In the execution Of this power 1t
has no more important duty than the
enactment of laws governing import
duties. 1t is not likely that congress
will ever voluntarily surrender this
mower to a tariff commission, and GER
tainly the people who are so vitality
concerned in the tariff will not con-
sent to have the schedules subject to
change by commission. 1t is impossi-
BILE to conceive of system that would
create more confusion and uncertain
ty to the business of the country. The
law making power has already been
heads and bureau chiefs until it has
become a real menace to the welfare
of the people, and it is difficult to UNI
derstand how senator can advocate
plan that will further encroach up
on the constitutional rights of con-
gress. The only legitimate power of
tariff commission is that conferred
by the proposed law now before con-
gress, and that is to investigate and
recommend to congress, leaving that
body in undisturbed possession of its
sole power to change, amend and en-
act the law governing the tariff sched-
ules.

LEAD AND ZINC MINERS AND
THE TARIFF.

For several years American miners
have been saved from competition
with the product of lead and zine
mines of Mexico through the numer-
Gus and continuous revolutions which
have effecually stopped all mining
operations. In this manner the VIII
son administration is entitled to the
credit of protecting the mining in
dustry through "watchful waiting. y
But some day peace will be restored
In Mexico, at least to an extent that
will permit resumption of mining,
for idle mines are not a fruitful source
of revenue to the pretentious leaders
who from time to time gain the as
tendency in that unfortunate country
1t is then that we will need a tariff
law that will protect the well paid
American miners from competition
with the cheap labor of Mexico. I'm
der peaceful conditions Mexico is a
large producer of lead and zinc, and
has vast reserves Oh these metals that
remain untouched. But the consump-
tion of these metals in Mexico is very
little, hence a market must be found
in other lands, and particularly in
the United States. Under the stimu-
lus of war prices and the abnormal
demand for the metals in Europe, It
may be that the importance of pro-
lection against the product of Mexi-
can mines is under estimated. But it
would come home to us with unpleas
ant force If there should be a sudden
stop to hostilities in Europe and the
