GLEANINGs FROM THE STATE PRESS.
A ~CLENA-CUT PROGRAM.

Senator Davis of Power county
comes before the Republican voters of
the state in his candidacy for the NOM
lnation for governor with a clean-cut
and business-like program. His plan
to make Idaho "taxless" by utilizing
it's immense to provide suf-
ficient income to care for the entire
expenses of the state and to ultimately
eliminate taxation, at the same time
providing funds which could be loan
ed to farmers for development pur-
poses at a moderate rate, Is receiving
widespread attention and has the en-
dorsement of thinking men. The
writer has had the pleasure of a per-
sonal acquaintance with Senator Da-
Wis, and we know him to be a mar
of high ideals, both In public and
private life and hat he will not lose
sight OF these ideals In applying the
principles he espouses to the affairs
of the state,-Downey Idahoan.

connection it may be added that by
reason Of the fact that he has been
dry" for years and a fighter for the
triumph Of the principle of temper
ance In this state long before it be-
came a political ~expediency to be "a
dry" Hon. Charles l.. Hoffman, Of
Kootenai county, is without doubt the
most popular mar In the republican
party in the state with the people of
the country districts OF Ada, Canyon,
Washington, Gem and Twin Falls
counties. The advocacy for his nom
ination as governor was strong In all
OF these counties early this year until
il developed he would not consider the
idea OF entering the race, Just as X
was two years ago. Had he have en-
tered the contest, the temperance peo-
pie Of the state would have rallied
around him with enthusiasm, and be-
cause Of this great strength, 1t Is pos
sible for him to be a factor In the
campaign of this year should he ex
ercise his influence. Even this early
the temperance element OF the repub-
lican party Is demanding the nomin-
alton OF men who will inspire the
confidence Of the ranks.-Tribune

THE TEMPERANCE FACTOR.

IL develops that In this part of the
state the temperance question will
be one of absorbing and vital interest
and probably the dominant factor In
the determination Of the gubernatorial
contest. 1t may be stated as a denn-
lite fact that both Crum and Lieuten-
ant Governor Taylor will have to meet
attacks upon their recent records In
reference to temperance legislation
and their vote upon the state anti
gambling law when members of the
legislature, as the temperance people
Of southern Idaho have them classl-
fled as "wets," and are disposed to OPP
pose them with the fullest OF
activity. The state Anti-Saloon
League is to be reckoned with in this
contest and 1t will oppose any man
for the goyernorshlp whose record is
not absolutely clear on temperance
legislation In this state. Leaders of
this element point to the small ma
jority OF votes by which Lieutenant
Governor Taylor was elected In the
last campaign as being indicative OF
what they cal accomplish. A number
of the more prominent of those who
are ranked as leaders of the temper
ance people In this end OF the state
have gotten behind the candidacy OF
Senator ID. w. Davis of American
Falls. and within u very short time
the trend OF development should re-
veal whether they will rally to his AN
didacy. Some leaders back of his can-
didacy declare that they will because
of his record having been favorable to
temperance legislation when he was
Il member of the legislature. II Ia safe
to assume that SO per cent of the vot-
ers of the country districts In south
Idaho are dry" In sentiment, and that
their vote will be very largely govern
ed by this issue. SO pronounced are
their views upon this subject that they
are studying the record of leaders OF
the state as never before. and In this

is probable that other states will do
likewise. Stockmen and ranch own
ers are cooperating by furnishing
horses and forage free Of charge. The
importance of preventing the spread
Of the disease is fully realized.
The coyote has always been a pest
to stockmen, but with the advent of
rabies it has become a serious dang
err to persons as well as to stock. In
many sections of Oregon. Idaho, Cali
fornia and Nevada, parents are afraid
to send their children to school un-
less they are well guarded. and there
is always danger that domestic dogs
will be bitten by the mad animals and
spread the disease 10 the families Of
their owners. In Oregon and Nevada
over 100 persons have received the
Pasteur treatment for rabies within
the past three years and stock interests
have suffered severely. In II feed
lot in Winnemucca, Nevada, a single
coyote caused the loss of % head of
three-year-old beef steers.
Although this is regarded as the
most serious, 1t is not the first out
break Of rabies among coyotes in the
western states. In 1911 the disease
made its appearance in Wallowa
county, Oregon, and spread southwark.
This i~nfestation still continues. In
the spring of 1915 the disease made
its first appearance in northern Ne
vada, and at the present time south
western Idaho, northeastern Califor-
mia, and approximately the northern
half of Nevada are infested.
The normal coyote is cunning but
cowardly and has a particular aver
sion to the scent of a human being.
When stricken with rabies, however
It does not hesitate to snap at every
thing in reach and to attack men as
well as dogs and cattle. In this con-
dition it does not eat and consequently
can not be killed by poisoned bats.
In controlling the disease the Bur-
eau Of Biological Survey purposes
first to prevent its spread by killing
off the coyotes along the borders Of
the infested districts. After this has
been done, the infested areas them.
selves can effectually be rid of the
animals and the disease stamped out

SUGGESTS A TAXLESS STATE.

Hon. ID. W. Davis. OF American
Falls, who has announced himself a
candidate for the republican guberna-
torlal nomination. last week In an adj
dress TO a fair sized audience IN Meri-
dian. sounded the keynote. as It may
be called. of his campaign, In this
address. which IL too long for publ
cation In the Post, but which Will
doubtless be widely circulated In
pamphlet form. Mr.. Davis suggests
the outstanding and Investment of the
states resources during the coming
fifty or one hundred years, until as Il
appears to him, the state viii become
taxless, all the funds for the expenses
OF the state government coming from
the earnings OF state funds.
His plan OF procedure Is admittedly
something more than ingenious. 1t Is
evidently the result OF deep thought
and careful calculation. MIR. Davis
has been working over It for more
than five years, trying earnestly TO
develop any weakness the plan might
have. meeting every question of It's
practicability that has been advanced,
and apparently overturning everyone
of them. There Is no denying the
fact that he has introduced the biggest
question before Idaho people that they
have ever had presented to them
Idaho Post, Moscow, April 7, 1916,
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-04-27
WILL WITHSTAND MANEUvERs.

Idaho as a taxless state has a pleas
ing ring TO 1t and the more one studies
the matter and goes deeper into the
theories advances by Senator ID. w.
Davis Of American Falls, the more
one Is convinced hat the senator
knows what he Is talking about and
that the proposition Is something that
can be put into actual practice. The
News In this Issue presents the plan
advocated by Senator Davis and be-
lieves that every citizen should give
the matter close study. Critics have
arisen. as they always do, but none
have advanced anything that detracts
from the feasibility OF the suggestions
II Is significant that one OF Mr.. Davis
opponents for go%vernorship, Capt. Il.
G.. Davis, In 1918 warmly applauded
the plan and now attempts to show 1t
unavoidable. However, these oppon-
ents can always be found, but any
thing with 80 solid u basis as the plat
form advocated by Senator ID. w. Da-
Wis Will withstand any m%aneuyers that
political enemies can invent. When
the voters Of Idaho fully grasp the
real meaning OF the Ideas put forth
by Senator Davis, who Is not only a
practical miner and farmer but a sue
cessful banker and n OF Idaho's
leading business men, they Will see
that he is speaking for a principle
that has bearing and Influence on
every resident of the state.-Kellogg

1T Is A BENEFIT TO
THIS GENERATION

In its endeavor to keep the magni-
licent scheme first proposed by the
Times five years ago from %degenerat-
ing into a partisan issue-of becoming
a football party politics~the Times
has published the substance, at least,
OF all the speeches that have been
made upon the subject.
1t republished Monday from New
Freedom former Governor Hawley's
letter on the proposed rural credit
system which would be a step on the
way to taxlessness. 1t does this
without comment though 1t highly ap-
poves of Mr.. Hawley's views.
The Times also printed Tuesday a
summary of an address by Captain r.
G. Davis who is a Republican candi-
date for the governorship of Idaho.
Captain Davis seems to appeal to our
selfshness by iterating and reiterat-
ing that none of these magical benefits
are promised for the present genera
ton. 1t is to be regretted that Captain
Davis should entertain such an err
roneous view.
We are selling $1,000 acres OF state
lands per annum. This, then, Is all
that under our laws can be sold at
present, and 1t would take $50 years
2h centuries-to sell the state lands
at the present rate. Surely this would
not be of much benefit to the present
generation. 1t is proposed to sell
them in annually increasing quantities
and upon a plan that will dispose OF
them in Is to 20 years, but on 40 an
nual payments upon the amortization
plan.
This would then prove OF immediate
and gigantic benefit not only to the
present but to all succeeding genera
tons.
That before doing this the state
constitution aud ever the Organic Act
will have to be amended has nothing
to do with the question. These are
mere details that a be attended TO
when the time comes.
Let the proposition be approved by
the people of Idaho and q plan to fit
the ease will he proposed,
We repeat that we regret that a
man Of Captain Davis undoubted abil-
l:y and great attachments should take
this view. The sentiment in favor of
the Hchcme Is growing and the more
l. is discussed the more nearly utani-
nous the people will be in its favor,
Maybe not this year but certainly
within two years this question will
become a preponderating one in Ida
no politics and those who oppose 1t
will lose their hold upon the public

TO EXTERMINATE RABID COYOTE.

FOR the control Of rabies among roy

inspectors and 100 hunters In the

yation. These men are to serve Ore

mont county, executive committeeman
of the Utah-Idaho Yellowstone High
way as.ociation, has charge of the
work of the association over some
thing like seventy miles of the Yellow
stone highway, upon which a great
deal of new construction work is be-
ing done. He has just held confer
ences with the board of commission
ers Of Fremont county, of which he is
chairman, State Highway Engineer
Booth and District Forester McCune,
of Ogden, and is authority for the
statement that the highway in Ere
mont county to the Targhee forest
line will be completed Immediately,
and that as soon as snow conditions
permit, work will be resumed upon
the new scenic section of the route
via Warm river, Upper Falls of the
Snake. and Bear Gulch, to connect
with the present highway neal the
famous Hartman ranches in Island
park. The work Is to be prosecuted
as fast as the weather conditions will
allow, and every effort is to be made
before automobile traffic in the ma
tional park is permitted this year.
Enthusiastic meetings have also
been held at other points along the
route of the highway where repair
work and new construction is needed.
Some conferences have been held by
President Austin and other officials
with good roads men and local Off
cials. and plans are well under way
for the completion of each of the three
Malad, Cache and Bear Lake valley
routes between Brigham City and Nc
Cannon, Idaho. In Jefferson county
and southern Madison county new
work is to be done Immediately, all in

articles for magazines and newspapers
advertising the highway are also un-

The officers of the association pro-
pose not only to complete and main
tain the continuous trunk highway,
but to prevent. If possible, the whole
sale routing of automobiles into the
park through the Cody, Wyoming, en-
trance, which is beoing attempted by
certain eastern agencies. Efforts are
now being made by the Burlington
route and auto agencies to route the
auto traffic through the Cody en-
trance and out by way of Montana via
Spokane. Seattle, San Francisco and
Los Angeles to the exposition, return
ing over the southern routes, thus
cutting out Utah and Idaho points
on this highway.
Word is being received almost daily
at the association headquarters here
from the Idaho and Utah delega-
ton in congress that they are
exerting every effort to secure federal
aid to completely construct the high
Say through the forests and to pre-
rent the routing of this traffic ver
