PLATFORM OF RE-
PUBLICAN CANDIDATES
FOR COMMISSIONERS

All candidates for state or national
offices go before the people on some
definite pledge or platform. Usually,
in county affairs, where the voters
are, more vitality interested in the
conduct of the office, their candidates
seek their suffrages without any an
nounced or stated purpose or pro-
gram. Such procedure leaves the
newly elected officer, and the citi-
zens generally in a state of uncer-
tainty. The voters have right to
know what to expect of the men for
whom they vote. Therefore, as can
didates on the Republican ticket for
the positions of county commission
ers of Bingham county, we feel it
our duty to the electors of Bingham
county to make our positions plain
and clear on several of the most i'm
portant questions, that affect the citi-
zens of our county at this time, and
have adopted the following as our
plan for the conduct of the county
business, If we should be elected next
November, to wit:
1. We stand firmly for good per-
manent county roads, and if it is
the wish Of the majority of the
voters to be expressed at an election
to be called for that purpose, and
so that the people may be relieved
of the burden of increased taxes to
get such good roads, to issue bonds
to cover the necessary expnses in
building the same. We pledge our
selves to call such an election so that
the people may express their wishes
in that regard.
2. We pledge ourselves to strict
economy in the expenditure of pub
lie money. consistent with good gov
ernment, and the advancement Of
the interests of rapidly growing
country.
3. We further pledge ourselves,
If elected, to hold board meetings
monthly, instead of quarterly, for
the purpose Of allowing bills, and
transacting any other business that
may come before the board, SO that
we can thereby better serve the peo-
pie generally.
4. We promise our best efforts to
get federal and state aid in the line
Of road improvements, thus getting
our udlu ulSuWdyo uuuOl q oyoIOn
of state control, so that the main
tenance expenses will be minimized
upon the tax payers of this county.
5. We pledge ourselves to appoint
efficient persons to all positions
where ye nave the appointive power,
having in mind solely our plain duty
to our constituents and the welfare
of the county.
6. We further and finally pledge
ourselves to use our best efforts,
singly and collectively, to make the
coming administration a clean, eff
ficient. business-like administration,
and a success in every way possible.

CHEAPER ADVERTISING HERE

In the face of a paper famine and
in the face of the general rise in
prices for all printing materials, The
Idaho Republican has so organized
its business that people can now get
advertising in this county cheaper
than ever before.
While other publishers have been
curtailing expenses and retrenching
for the paper famine, the editor Of
The Republican has been increasing
his stock and extending the circula-
ton of the paper by campaign COW
ering the whole year, and has been
able to announce new rate card for
advertising service that is cheaper
per 100 circulation than has ever
been offered the public in this county
by a weekly paper or by any paper
that survived and paid its bills.

new HOME FOR
IDAHO REPUBLICAN

The Idaho Republican is to have
O home Of It's own. A 5O-foot front
was purchased Wednesday from j.
H. Mcdonald on the north side OF
Bridge street at number $50 to ITO
west. Plans for a modern brick
building are in course of preparation
by an architect, and it is hoped to
get the building enclosed before
winter comes on. 1t will be supplied
with a modern heating plant, hard
wood floors, solid foundations for
machinery, special equipment for
handling the heavy matter, and cleo
trio heater for holding even tempera-
ture in the casting device oftthe limo
type, and specially built in every re-
spect for efficiency in printing house
operation.
The building will be constructed
large enough to allow the business
to grow to use double the floor space
now occupied, and to handle several
times the present volume of business.
1t is designed to be the permanent
home of The Idaho Republican while
1t develops into a greater factor in
the activities Of this county. All
the purchases of machinery and
other equipment are being made with
a view of making the paper into a
daily when the conditions of the
county will justify it. The paper is
now IL years old, is well equipped,
is out of debt and has a few dollars
laid away. A large part of the ex-
penditures for the new building will
be made on borrowed capital and by
this means the public will be supplied
with an improved newspaper service
earlier in the country's development
than would be possible If it remained
in rented buildings subject to orders
to move whenever the property
changed owners. The owner of The
Republican has faith in Bingham
county and its county seat town, and
plans accordingly for a bigger, bet
ter newspaper.
The management hopes to get into
the new building in five months and
the twenty-fifth of March is fixed for
the time of opening the doors in the
new quarters.

RABID COYOTE ENTERS
HOME AT SPRINGFIELD

SPRINGFIELD was an ex-
citing time here this week and the
main actor was mad coyote, He
made his appearance at the home of
Luther Satterfield first. The door
being open, it came right in. Mrs.
Satterfield hurried the children into
another room where they remained
until Mr.. Coyote decided to depart.
1t made it's way toward Springfield,
becoming tangled up in some wire,
but finally extricated itself. Lone
Shelman was plowing nearby, but it
did not molest him. 1t bit cow and
finally ran amuck with some men
who were haying and was killed with
pitchforks. 1t is reported that Henry
Parent killed a rabid coyote and
later his dog developed the rabies,

Chiropractor Wins Suit

BOISE.-A license to practice med
icine or surgery in Idaho is only re-
quired where medicine or surgical
instruments are used and as chiro-
practor uses neither it is not neces-
sary that he have license. This is
the ruling of the supreme court of
Idaho as laid down today in passing
on the appeal in the case of DR.. Fite
of Lewiston. The case originated in
Nez Perce county. DR.. Fite, chiro-
practor, was arrested, tried and con-
victed on the charge Of practicing
medicine without a license. He ap-
pealed to the supreme court. That
tribunal reverses the judgment of the
lower court.

dition regarding the weeds.

THE way OF ORGANIZED LAByR
(sy Stanley 3. Wilson,

Fac history OF Labor is the history
Of the human race, and the main prob
ie ii has been a perpetual problem of
history, lor from the beginning some
nave worked and others played; some
have TILED and others eaten the fruits
I'll is O.. u Lnese facts and condi-
as organized labor, expressed in the
labor union.
Organized labor, recognizing the
fact that the great mass OF people
| must work. ana that they must work
for others, recognizes the further fact
That tne indl vidual unorgdnized work
err can not bargain advantageously
with the employer for the sale of his
labor.
Here is the basis of the modern or
gained labor movement-the apph-
cation of the natural and universal
principle OF organization to the rela-
tions OF the worker with his employer.
Organized labor does not stand for
physical force-tfor ''the law of the
Huns and vandalS, the law of the saw
age" 1t does not exist for assault
or intimidation, but, in harmony with
the law of organization, the widest
and most effective law of the civilized
world.
The fundamental reason for the ex-
istence of the labor union is that by it
and through it worlmen are enabled
to deal collectively with their employ
ers.
The purpose of the labor union is
to combine in one organization all the
men employed, or capable of being
employed, at given trade, and to de-
] mand and secure for each and all of
/ them definite standard of wages
hours and conditions.
1t does not demand that all shall be
paid alike, but that none shall receive
less than the standard set as a mini
mum.
Organized labor is the natural prod
uct of conditions produced by modern
social and Industrial ideals and meth
DDS, and it's existence is the inevitable
result of that advanced intelligence
which adapts itself to existing re
quirements.
| Business is organized. Industry is
! organized Capital is organized. La
Dor must be organized too.o
| The demand today is for intelligent
labor How shall we have intelligent
labor and deny labor the right to in
tellingently express itself?

MINEIN "H
Demand Pay


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, January s.
Anthracite coal miners are to ask a
substantial increase in wages when
their present contract with the opera
tors expires April l, President John
p. White Of the United Mine Workers
declared in an interview today,
They will base their demands on the
fact that while afood prices have in
creased So per cent in the last II
years, their wages had only increased
571 per cent.
u am hopeful that no suspension
of work will result when the present
contract expires" White continued.
The mine workers are for peace with
honor. But the mine workers will not
consent to be the victims when the
operating heads seek to unload upon
them the responsibility for price rails
ing occasioned by the neglect or in
tent of operation heads"
Miners Are Goats"
White charged that the miners
through enforced idleness had been
compelled to stand the losses of lean
periods. while the operators conserved
their SURPRISES. He also blamed the
failure to work the mines continuous
lys for the reported coal shortage.
There may be. shortage of anthra-
cite coal, but there is NO shortage of
anthracite coal miners" declared
President White. And the fact is
the only shortage felt by the anthra-
cite miner is the one he finds when
he compares his pay envelope with
the ever climbing cost of food.

Milan City Runs
Renting Bureau

An American consular report states
that Milan, Italy, has undertaken a
municipal renting agency. This has
been done in order to supervise by
gienic living conditions among those
occupying, large workingmen's apart
ments and homes are also taken for
rent, however, by Sthis municipal
agency.
The idea was first proposed by DR..
Pietro Ferrari at tuberculosis con-
gress in Milan. and the movement, in
Guiding the investigation of hygienic
conditions and locations of apartments
and homes, was launched by the city
authorities. taking as their guides the
municipal renting agencies OF Paris
and Stuttgart.
Should an owner care to place his
property in the hands Of the munich
pal renting agency, the property is
first inspected by the proper city Of
f1cials, and report is made as to its
cleanliness and location. It is then
entered upon the bulletin called "The
Home" issued free by the office, and
illustrated maps of the city of Milan,
showing the exact locations of. the
various vacant apartments. Furnished
rooms are not dealt with No charges
for services are made. by the office,
and the work has been taken up ex-
clusively to benefit those who seek
apartments or houses for rent. The
bulletin is re-editted and re-issued
whenever necessity demands it.
In Milan there are very few real
estate agents." as known in America.
All details Of renting an apartment
are usually taken care of by the porter

IF the operators are. as reported.
unable to supply the demand, and the
public is forced to pay premium on
anthracite, the responsibility must be
fastened upon the operators.
Hundreds Are Idle.
stEven now when news is being
heralded BROADCAST that labor short
age is affecting the production. hun
al eds of miners are idle. The insult
ficient number of cars is an important
factor in promoting the SO called

How did this happen? The up

pended, under a strict economical pro
gram inaugurated.
'The SURPRISES held by the same
roads is proof positive that this was
unnecessary.
When Contract Ends.
1.-THE contract between anthracite
miners and operators expires April l
1916. The miners are to ask sub

products have increased S6 per cent
while their wages have only increased

"True to form in advance of nego

Outrageous demands of the miners

ficult for the careful investigator to
