BETTER SYSTEM IN LAND LOANS,
Candidate for Governor Advocates
Some Radical Changes.

III l had my way about it l would
change the system of making farm
loans from the state school funds al
together"
This was the way D. w. Davis, of
American Falls, Republican candi-
date for governor, jumped into the
middle of an interview while in Mos
COW this week.
Let Counties Work.
Il would throw a good part of the
burden of making these loans on the
countless" he said. I'm the first place
l would have the application for the
loan filed with the county commits
sioners. Then l would have the as
SCISSORS and tax collector file a certi-
hcate as to the amount of taxes as
sessed and collected on the land. Then
l would have the county attorney pass
on the title and have the certificate
from the assessor and collector and
the abstract from the county attorney
go right into the state house with
the application.
Stop "Dummy Loans.1
When these papers were received
the land board would have but one
thing to do-grant the loan or reject
the application. There would be no
delay; there would be no juggling of
applications in the interest of favor
ties, and there would be no dummy
loans" Matched up under the dome of
the capitol.
No Selling f.r Taxes.
THE interest on these loans could
be collected by the counties Just as
taxes are collected, and they could be
RENTED to the state treasurer with
out cost. There would be another big
advantage in this way of doing the
business-the land upon which the
state had made loans would not be
sold for taxes over and over, three
or four times, and the borrower
would not be permitted to default in
interest at his own sweet will.
Help in Many Ways.
THE counties should be glad % do
this work because the school fund be-
longs to them and it is to their interest
to see to it that they are properly
handled"
Speaking of the ~upheaval in the
state land department Mr.. Davis
said:
Need Better System.
THE crying need in the state
house at Boise, not only in the land
department but in all other depart
nients as well, is a better business
system eliminating in one head.
There should be a uniform system of
accounting and it should be possible
to tell at the close of business every
day just how the state stands and
how every department stands"
Everything that has transpired in
the land department in recent months.
he says, adds strength to the position
he o at the beginning of his candi-
dacy in favor of a genuine business
administration of state affairs.
Swing Thought North Idaho.
Mr.. Davis attended the bankers
convention at Lewiston, and while he
was in north Idaho decided to visit
a number of places in the interest of
his candidacy. He spent Monday and
Tuesday in Moscow and her departed
on a swing through a number of the
counties before going south.
Speaking of the nomination of JUS
tice Hughes he said:
1T is splendid. 1t suits me exactly
and l look for a complete Republican
victory in the fall in both state and
nation Moscow Post, June 90.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-06-29

For the governorship, d. w. Davis,
the American Falls banker, is far in
the lead and it would appear he has
all other aspirants dsitanced. Mr..
Davis has a very catchy program in
what he terms a "taxless state" and
is urging his proposition with great
earnestness.
Upon the other hand, the activities
of Taylor and Crum, the north Idaho
candidates, tend only to their mutual
%undoing, while Captain E. G. Davis, the
Boise a%spirant, is making more enc
mics than friends with every public
appearance.-Wallace News-Miner,

the field rapidly and is going to make

Mordecai Brown

TN DISCUSSING old-time stars who still
l. persist in hanging on. the name of one
Mordecai Brown, he of the three taIons,
should not be overlooked. We recall watch
ing a game in Chicago several years ago
where the Three-Fingered entry worked
against the Giants and wrenched his knee
cap so badly that he was forced out for a
long spell.
That injury was supposed to be the end
of Browns career. Matty's leading rival
from the old days was labeled tradition
They first sent him to Louisville. Then the
Reds tried him again. Then he took up a
job managing the st. Louis Feds.
Then Brownie came back to the Chicago
Feds. He was merely drifting around. But
here, late in the summer of 1916, he is
still back at the old stand, indulging in a
favorite occupation, viz, beating the Giants
Brown deserves a higher ranking upon the
halls or walls of pitching fame than he
ever has received, He was one of the best
that ever threw ball-and he is still on
the job.
Turn about is supposed to be fair play
New York got Christy Mathewson and Mike
Donlln from Cincinnati. Now Cincinnati
owns claims TO Christy Mathewson and Hal
Chase-who at one time or another were
fairly we'll known figures in New York's
baseball life.

to Maurice Mclaughlin in the challenge

weeks later his game reached the very
pinnacle and he defeated Mclaughlin easily

sustained rush in the semifinal at Forest
Hills, Williams could not head him off.
This year Williams is shaping his game
for the championship, and nothing else
Despite defeat or two prior TO that event
his success at Forest Hills will give him
first place among the country's tennis stars
