Give The Boy A Chance.

The bill to allow eighteen year

entry upon the public domain
legislation which has been earn.
estly advocated by Congressman
Addison y. Smith during the last
and present Congress. has been
iavorably reported to the House
ot Representatives by the Com.
mittee on Public Lands, of which
Mr.. Smith is member, and It is
expected that it will become a
law during the present session,
II it can be reached on the union
calendar for consideration under
the rules. Because of the object
ion Of several of the eastern
Members to he bill it probably
cannot be considered bv unanim
Gus consent. Mr. Smith argues
that the enactment OF this law
will result in many young men
remaining OH the farm, and ell
able them to lead an independent
agricultural life rather than to
work for wages. In supporting
the bill he says:
when young man reaches
the age of eighteen he naturall,
begins to look into the future
with view OF establishing a
home, and il he is able to initia t.
a homestead on the public domain
the probabilities are that many
OF them will remain on the farm
instead OF going to the cities or
towns to seek employment. The
government gladly accept these
Young men for service in the
Army and Navy at the age oi
eighteen, and why should we not
be willing to extend them the
privilege of making a homestead
entry at that age.

inflicted on American commerce by

CONSTRUCTIVE /
COMPETITION
DESIRED.

greater economic folly than the
theory that free trade promotes
healthfulco competition. Free trade
promotes competition, certainly,
but a destructive competition.
That this is so is Indicated by
reason and proven by experience.
Every thinking man should be
able to forsee that throwing our
markets open to the competition
OF cheap labor from abroad will
deprive the American producer
of business. thus weakening the
home competitor at the same
time that the foreign competitor
is strengthened. This was pre-.
dicted when the Democratic tar.
lit laws was enacted during the
Cleveland administration, and
results justified the prediction.
Men whose personal recollections
OF 1895 are still clear, need no
evidence on that subject.
Facts regarding experience un-
der the Underwood act of 1913
are OF similar nature. During
the last 10 months of the Repub.
lican tariff law, the balance OF
trade in favor Of the United States
was more than $6Ob, 900, 900,
while during the corresponding
period under the Democratic tar.
1T law and before the outbreak
OF the war, the balance was about
$345, 900, 900, or a reduction of
$26O,OOO,OOO. This represents
not merely loss of that sum
to the industries of the United
States sbut OF many times t la sum
for each dollar expended in pro.
ductlve enterprise is respent a
dozen times year, which means
that in 10 months period we
suffered an industrial loss of not
less than $2,6OO,OOO,OOO.
Advocates of free trade are ap-
parently unable to understand
that protective tariff establishes
the only real and permanent
competition - competition not
with foreign producers but COM
petition among the producers of
our own country.
At the same time that a pro.
tective tariff shuts out goods of
foreign production, it encourages
foreign capital TO come to this
country for investment in pro-
ductivc enterprise. When the
foreign manufactures finds that
his market in America is shut off
and his investment renderd cor.

necessarily searches for new op-
portunities for investment and
finds i'll the protected nation the
opportunity he desires. Instead
of letting his capital remain idle,
he naturally sends it to the coun.

been cut off, and invests it in a
factory such as he has been accus.
toned to operate.

Shows Saving of $47,125.75

We are in receipt Of a copy oi
the report of State Treasurer
Eagleson to Governor Alexander
covering the first year OF Mr..
Eagleson's administration OF the
State Treasury Department. Mr..
Eagleson has made an enviable
record.
He has saved to the people OF
Idaho over fifty thousand dollars
this year by economy OF admin
istration. efficient management
OF warrant-payments, and in
closing checking disbursements
and expenditures.
According to this report, the
treasurer has saved sixteen-thou
sand dollars on bonds called in;
over eleven.hundred in exchange,
and III the one item OF custodian
of the capitol building, he has
saved the state over sixty thous
and dollars.
These figures amply bear out

John H. Eagleson, Idaho has an
efficient and economical public
man. The State Treasurer has
been true to his trust. He has
made the best record of anv
state treasurer we have ever had
He deserves well of our people.
He should be sustained by the
suffrages OF Idaho people. Effici-
ency and economy are rare virtues
generally in public business. and
the splendid record of Mr.. Eagle
son is such great contrast
with that which usually prevails
that it is An admiration to all

It is matter of satisfaction to

This embezzlement of the state

has overcome this evil record and
has put our State Treasury again
