the snow drifts along the tracks of

a democrat to get by" in Idaho this
year.
1t is truly refreshing to find man
in public life who can discuss a ques-
ton like "Some of the Larger Prob
lens of Idaho" without descending
to pessimism and complaining. Hon.
Geo. r. Barker, secretary Of state,
discusses such a subject in a recent
issue Of the Rexburg Standard, and
his words are an inspiration. The
subject is handled at some length,
but the following excerpts will serve
to sum up the splendid ideas of the
secretary:
'In the past few years we have
been asked to believe that the dollar
sign means more to our state than
the development natural to it's needs
and to the day in which we live. In
our homes we have superseded the
cabinet organ with the pianola. The
horse and buggy have been succeeded
by the automobile, the Marsh har-
vester by the combine.
an our hamlets we must have
water systems and sewerage; in our
smaller cities, pavements; in our
school districts physical culture, home
economics and manual training; but
the highest plane for our state seems
to be the Jerking out of clerk here
and there that we may display to ar
admiring population the economic
trend of our law making and law
spending bodies.
'Idaho's vision for the future will
find its horizon close to it if it does
not find inspiration other than in the
small chickering's of those whose only
hope is to point with pride to a re
duced tax receipt. In its early you'll
and in the natural carelessness o,
youth Idaho may have spent riotous
ly of a night, feeling with the ole
miner that there was more wher'
that came from. But the response
bility of the future cannot be shirke,
by an apology for the past and tn
mistakes of yesterday cannot be rec
titled by new mistakes today. If w
spent carelessly yesterday we mus
none the less spend judiciously to
day.
"Let us continue to think of Idah
as a stalwart young son going fort
to labor and win his way, deep o
breath, strong of sinew and of valian
heart, but, as the outstanding figur
performs his daily task to result i
still more prosperous days, as h
stands tiptoe to greet the dawn O
greater Idaho we will indeed b
disappointed in him if he does nc
pay his debts as he goes"

Promises of Lower Taxes
Have Not Been Fulfilled

Boise, Ida, Jan. 26, 1916.-(Spe-
cial to the Bonners Ferry Herald)-
The democratic party has not full
filed its promises that it made the
people during the last campaign.
That party especially held out to the
voters Of the state the hope of relief
from the growing tax burden, but the
hope of the taxpayers of Idaho was
doomed to disappointment. In many
of the counties of the state taxes are
higher than ever before. In none
has there been any material relief.
The newspapers Of the state were
freely commenting about the reduc-
ton in taxes in 1914. That was I'M
der republican administration with
republican governor. No such
happy comments have been heard
concerning the year 1915.
Governor Alexander may have been
sincere when, even after his election,
he declared that he was going to
clean out the state house and there
by, inferentially at least, reduce tax
es, but he has since found out that
the discharge of janitor or the fir
ing of stenographer has no effect
upon the tax situation, even when
coupled with a general slashing of
appropriations. Out of every 500
collected for general taxes, not more
than from So to SO goes to the state
so that if the entire tax were wiped
out the problem of the heavy tax
burden would not be solved. The
actual saving has probably been
somewhere around seventy-five cents
to one dollar and half, on 800 OF
taxes, and while even this small sum
is commendable so far as it goes, il
should be borne in mind that repub'
lican officials have contributed {
large share from an economy stand
point. The democratic party, at Its
ropes end on promises, now repu
dates it's campaign declarations, anC
declares that the prevailing higi
taxes are due to the extravaganza o.
local taxing boards. Assuming tina
this be true, it only goes to prov
that the democrats were entirel.
wrong in their campaign thunder il
1914, and that they have been wan
dering around in haze of error dur
ing the entire period that they nigh
have utilized for constructive pur
poses.
The democratic party never di
understand the tax question and
shows no signs of enlightenment. TIL
very first carnival of real high take
in this state was foisted upon us b,
democratic governor, well mean
ing man, too. In view of these facts
it ought to be somewhat difficult TO
