HOME PRODUCTS WEEK.

Next week Is home products week,
and 1t Is to be hoped that every buy
or OF supplies for the home or farm
Will give preference TO the things pro-
duced at home or In nearby states.
Prosperity, both of individuals and
communities, is measured by the de-
gree OF their adherence to the sup
port OF home industries. Abe Lincoln
never gave u~tterance TO a truer thing
than when he said that when a man
buys an article produced In a COM
munity. the community has both the
article and the money paid for Vt; but
that when he purchases an article
produced elsewhere, the community
has the article but some other COM
munity has the money.
/, Idaho Is but the enlargement OF our
W community, and adjoining states
are but an enlargement OF our own
state. IL Is a good plan to keep our
money Mt home whenever possible,
and ms near home az possible all the
time. There ~ no market as good as
a home market. and no country more
prosperous than the one which pro-
cures It's supplies at home and con-
sumes the products produced there.
Let everyone observe home products
week.

question that has come to my mind,
but II there is a weakness in the plan
It is to my interest and to yours to
develop II. This Is a big question, al
though a simple one, and 1t can not
be put into effect without having the
support and cooperation of the people.
| believe / am right and / ask for
support on nc other grounds.
/ am talking to you as a business
man to other business men, as a fellow
citizen of the state 70 other fellow citi-
zens, about the adoption of a business
plan of handling the business affairs
OF the state for the mutual benefit of
all her people and those yet to come.
In closing / wish to state that l
have for a long time thoroughly con-
sidered this matter In its every aspect.
/ have been several years developing
1t, and have the satisfaction of know
ing that II has been approved by many
very able and conservative men. When
| delivered my Weiser address three
years ago at the meeting OF the State
Bankers Association, the editor of
the Pacific Coast Banker, who was in
attendance, became very much inter-
ested. He a convinced of the
soundness of my theory and yet could
hardly lead himself to believe that the
possibilities set forth could be realiz-
de in SO short a time. Several letters
passed between us, In which. he asked
for details OF the plan relating to
points which / did not have time to
bring out. He would not publish the
address even her until his critic had
gone into the matter thoroughly and
given 1t his approval. l am glad that
so many well informed people of Ida
no have endorsed the plan, in whole
or In part, and ! feel that when 1t has
been fully presented to them, In all
its bearings, that even those who do
not agree with me now, will do so
then. l am glad to be able to read a
few letters from Idaho men, one of
whom is the first newspaper editor
Within the state to advocate the more
rapid selling of our state lands, and

THE TAxLEss STATE ISSUE.

The Meridian address OF ID. w.
Davis, published elsewhere, presents
arguments that can not be met by
ridicule. He has made so careful a
study OF the possibilities OF making
Idaho taxless by utilizing her resources
as to be master OF his subject, and
anyone who has any idea OF disputing
the possibilities OF his plan might
well spond some time in a careful
study OF this great problem. Mr..
DAVIS has been working over Vt for
more than five years, trying earnestly
to develop any weakness the plan
might have. meeting every question OF
its practicability that has been adj
vancod, and %overturning everyone Of
them by i~ndisputable facts and I'M
answcrable logic. There Is no deny
ing the fact that he has introduced the
biggest question before Idaho people
that they have ever had presented to
them. Furthermore, he Is right, and
his ideas will prevail. Whenever the
people grasp the possibilities of the
plan he has presented, and they are
rapidly doing 80, no man nor no party
VIII dare to oppose 1t. All his plan
has not been given to the public yet,
but they have enough OF 1t to set them
TO serious thinking.

a shock to his many friends in Ameri-

June 14th, 1913.
Senator d. w. Davis,
American Falls, Idaho.
My Dear Senator:
l am in receipt of your letter Of the
18th instant and am glad to know that
/ have through the of what
was printed In the Capital News, that
part Of your address delivered at the
bankers convention in which we are
particularly interested.
| believe the suggestion that your
address be elaborated and then print
ed in pamphlet form for general dis
tribution is a most commendable one.
A great deal of prejudice has existed
in the minds of the people of Idaho
with reference to the sale of our state
holdings and a campaign of education
must be conducted to educate the peo-
pie up to the point where they will
see that the proposal to sell our state
holdings is merely a proposal to ap-
ply good business principles to the
handling of state not only
for the benefit of present generations
but for the benefit of all future gener-
alton of citizens of this state.
There has been some little talk of
a special session of the state legisla-
ture. Personally, ] am inclined to
favor 1t for the reason that there are
so many things of the nature of your
proposal that a be handled in a few
days of a special session infinitely bet
ter than could be the case If we wait
to present them to the next regular
session. Besides in a matter such
as this where 1t is necessary to submit
a proposed constitutional amendment,
the element Of time is q big factor,
In getting things going it is easy to
see that the benefits derived frim sub
hitting your proposition will, If the
same Is adopted by the people, be
worth much more to them in a few
years than the cost of a special ses-
sion would be. The question, of
course. of a special session is a big
one and could only be decided after
going thoroughly over the situation
and weighing the advantages to be
expected against the possible feeling
that the Legislature should not CON
vene any oftener than absolutely nec-
essary.
With kindest personal regards,
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) e. G. DAVIS.

My Dear Captain:
In reply to your letter of the 18th

capitalizing u states resources, and
published in the Capital News, was IN

OF my manuscript. but l had many
requests for same and soon ran out.
II Was very gratifying to me to have
many of the leading bankers present
give my ideas their most hearty ap-
proval. l have given this subject a
great deal of attention In the past two
years, aud to my mind II is sound and
practical and should be put in opera
ton as o o as possible.
The press seem to be giving il con-
siderable space and all that / have
seen has been very favorable. l have
received several good letters OF COM
mendation. Some have asked that l
get 1t out in pamphlet form. should
this be advisable l would want to go

WILLARD PACKS THEM IN.
Draws a Thousand or More Quarters
at Daily Exhibition.

NEW YORK, March "A number of
women paid 25 cents each to see Jess
Willard, the world heavyweight cham
pion, go through his daily calisthenics
at the Pioneer A. c. yesterday. Most
of the women sat in the gallery. Like
wise present were about 1000 men,
also at Is cents each. Wizards condi-
ton yesterday was about $3.50 better
than it was Thursday. If the crowds
increase at his training quarters as
they have in the last few days. up to
the date of the bout, March %, the
cial condition.
There was one new act on the bill
yesterday. Stranger Lewis, the wrest-
Ter, was present, attfred in the latest
style wrestling jersey. which covers
only one shoulder and leaves the other
exposed to the north winds. Lewis
grappled a few minutes with Willard.
They put their heads together like two
of the animals which first made Har-
lem famous, and tried to push each
other through the ropes. The pushing
and showing match was a draw.
Willard treated big Bob Williams
with carelessness when he placed a
couple of stif jabs on the Brooklyn
weights nose. which did that or
gan no good whatever. There avs
nothing new in this achievement. be-
cause several other boxers have done
this same thing to Williams before
Willard. The champion and Walter
Monahan mixed it up in their bout,
like they did last summer in the circus.

DUNN BUYS FEDS PARK.
Will Take Possession of Baltimore
Plant April |.

BALTIMORE, March 4-By increas-
ing his offer of few days ago Jack
Dunn yesterday obtained Terrapn
Park, which for two years was the
home of the Baltimore Federal League
club. While everything has been
agreed upon Dunn will not actually
take possession until about April /, by
which time titles can be searched and
other legal formalities disposed of.
However, should Dunn need the
grounds before that date there is no
doubt that he will be permitted to use
them.
1t is believed that Dunn agreed to pay
about 100000 for the stands. which.
with the improvement made upon the
grounds, cost the 500 Terrapin stock
holders approximately 100000 OF
course, Dunn got bargain, for there
never were more comfortable or more
substantial wooden stands ever built
than those put up for Baltimore's rep
resentative in the baby major.
The lot. of course, was not included
in the sale. because that belongs to Ned
Hanlon. Dunn will pay $4,000 year
rent for the lot, but has the privilege
of buying it any time within the next
eight years for $4,000.
