STATE CAPITAL NEWSLETTER

Boise, June 1.-THE action of the
State land board in the removal of
Heber G. Hale from the position Of reg
lister of the State land department by
unanimous vote, Miss Mccoy being alb
sent, has attracted the special attention
of the community for the past week
The members of the board, it is report
ed, have been in receipt Of numerous
letters i'll regard to this action from
all parts of the State.
Perhaps the greatest interest has been
aroused by the somewhat naive admis-
sion of the governor as to his action in
voting for Mr.. Hale's removal. This
was brought about through an inter
view first published in the Deseret
News, of Salt Lake City. In this in
tcfview the governor states that his ac-
tion was purely political; that he felt
Mr.. Hale was competent and honest
officer, man of high ideals, and one
with whom it was pleasure to be asso-
ciated both personally and officially
But looking at it from the governor s
standpoint, the fact of his Republican,
ism, and apparently the fact of his com
potency, honesty and ability, made it
good political move to discharge him
from the service Of the State. This was
apparently the thought that perhaps tho
next man selected for the position
might be dishonest or incompetent, and
in that way the Democracy might there
by gain strength through the neglect
of that officer to do the work of this
important office well.
Since the publication of the inter-
view it has been learned that number
of letters have been addressed to him,
in which he is rather taken to task for
the unwisdom Of his course. Some of
his former friends are saving that if the
governor had believed that Hale should
be removed, it was his duty to go on
record as demanding his discharge. The
same thing is true of Land Commission
er Day, demand for whose resignation
the governor has also approved, al
though it is known that on numerous
occasions he has taken position in
dicating intense admiration for the
work of Day in connection with the
land board. 1t is probably true that if
questioned, the governor would have
stated that his vote in opposition to
Day was not because of any complaints
that had been made against the officer,
but for the reason that in this way his
own political fences might be strength
ened.
State Now in Good Hands.
Now that Lieutenant Governor Tay.
lor is in command of the situation. al
though this will endure but for little
while, the State is once more in ths
hands Of the Republicans, and if mis-
takes are made it will be an easy mat
ter to fix the responsibility. There is
no present prospect that any will be
made, or at least there are no evidences
extant that they will be of commission.
Governor Taylor, who took his seat in
the big leather-covcred chair on Mon
day, has been kept extremely busy

In my opinion the proper limits to a
candidates activities for this office are
very much narrower than should be
prescribed for candidates for other Off
ces. While / do not hold that a can.
didate for the supreme bench may do
nothing to further his interests as Il
candidate, I am in full sympathy with
the attitude of many Thoughtful voters
who look with disfavor upon the per-
sistent urging of his candidacy by him
self, whether such urging is. done by
personal solicitation or by the, wide
spread publication of matter laudatory
of himself, prepared by the candidate
himself or under his direction. Hold
ing this view, | shall faithfully try to
comply with both the letter and the
spirit of this statement.
Nv residence in Idaho covers the
past twenty five years, thirteen years
of that time having been spent in
Shoshone county, and the past twelve
years in Kootenai county
During the past seven years have
been judge of the district court of
the Eighth district. l was appointed to
this office in 1909, and have been twice
elected since that time. Ny record as
citizen and as district judge is well
known to large number Of the people
of Idaho, and it may be easily asccr-
tanned by any who do not know If
elected, have no obligations that will
prevent me from giving the State the
best service Of which am capable.
1t may appear to some that by adopt
ing the course indicated above 1 have
decreased my chances of success, but
! have only to reply that this appears
to me to be the proper course fo- a
candidate for place in the highest
court of the state.
I therefore submit to the voters Of
Idaho my candidacy for this Office, pre-
pared to accept the result, whatever it
may be, without complaint.

GOOD ROADS
MOVEMENT IS
NEXT THING
ARDMORE BUSINESS MEN WANT
RURAL TRADE, BUT UNLESS
ROADS ARE MADE PASSABLE
1T WILL BE DIVERTED

The Good Roads Committee of the
Business Mems Association composed
of Gilbert Shuman, George Dyer
George Corhn and Walter S. Gilbert
went out Monday afternoon to inves-
tigate the condition of the road west
of Brock to the Bayou bridge
Charles Speer a farmer living on
that road reported some bridges out
and said that he had thirty bales OF
cotton and that that there were three
hundred more bales which would
come to Ardmore if the road was put
in shape. Tuc road is in a wretched
condition and impossible for about
| two miles east of the Bayou bridge
The committee got in touch with
James Talleferro who will find out
what funds are available for Lone
Grove township and an effort will be
made to make the road passable at
once.
The committee will work until the
road is either fixed or abandoned and
unless action can be gotten immedi-
ately they will try and work out
another route for the cotton to this
city.
This is the only complaint that is
heard about the roads leading to this
city. and unless the business men get
busy at once and demand that some
thing be done it will be utterly impos-
sibe for farmers to come to Ardmore
after the winter rains set in, and will
likewise divert lot of business
that is now coming from the oil fields.
The business men of this city are
unit in demanding permanent roads
built under the supervision of the
state highway department and in no
other way. Haphazard methods have
already cost the business men of
Ardmore enough to have built perma-
nent roads all over the county and

The automobile tax ana the gross pro-
duction tax from oil should go a long
way in their estimation toward build
ing and maintaining roads in Carter
county, and the county commissioners
will be asked to build nothing but
permanent road if they do not con-
struct over five miles a year in the
future. There is enough good road
material in Carter county to construct
permanent hard surfaced roads all
over the county that should be utali.

BurgIaries Of Banks Decrease.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. 2S.-Crimes
committed against banks represented
in the American Bankers Association
during the past year have shown no
marked increase, according to the an
nual report of the protective depart
ment at the convention of the associa-
tion heretoday, and 1t was further
shown that a large proportion of the
burglaries and similar crimes proved
unsuccessful.
For the period from August !, 1915,
to Sept. /. this year, there was total
of 42S arrests and 3O7 convictions. The
report notes that the losses sustained
by members in connection with bur
glaries amounted only to $7,754, while
the loss sustained by non-members
amounted to more than 100000.
Through 35 holdups, however, there
was a loss to members of $6aS21, and
through nine sneak thefts loss of
S26,500. The department now has
4,72O photographs of criminals, COM
prising burglars, holdup men, sneak
thieves, forgers and bogus check oper-
