our own welfare. While the world Is
undergoing a great conflict of war

ing the greatest prosperity in it's his
tory
I'VE are a great ntaion of 100000 600
free men, we have but one god, but
one flag to live under, the stars and
stripes. (Applause.)
"All these splendid virtues we are
enjoying are the result of peace vouch-
safed to us by that great statesman,
Woodrow Wilson.
We ought to thank God for the priv
ileges we are enjoying. No one is talk
ing in this country but the politicians
and they won't want war after the
election next month"
The governor drew a vivid picture of
the horrors of war. Il am glad to bring
| you the message OF peace" said the
governor. Talk peace, pray for peace
and vote for peace when that day
comes" Peace on earth and good will
toward men" is the greatest message
ever given.
| The governor appreciated all talk of
war or Intervention in Mexico. He
paid a glowing tribute to Woodrow
Wilson, who, he said, personifies the
peace of the world. The governor also
told of the great legislation enacted by
Wilson.
A GREAT STATESMAN.
THANK God for the schoolmaster, we
needed and got one in the White
House. He Is the greatest statesman
since Lincoln"
Since the passage of the federal re-
serve act, there is no scarcity of
money. Panics are now eliminated.
Under the income tax law the man
who can afford to pay taxes, pays
them. 1t is a scientific method of tax
alton" The governor tabooed the tariff
and declared there is no need of a
tariff when wool is 80 cents a pound
and mutton 25 cents a pound.
He declared as humanitarian the
child labor law and the eight hour law.
The good roads bill was highly COM
mended. AS a result OF this bill Idaho
as well sail other states will get good
roads.
Idaho has its share of good roads
money in the treasury and 1t will be
unnecessary for this state to issue a
dollars worth of bonds to get it's share
of good roads, he said. The governor
gave a very strong Endorsement of the
rural credit bill. 1T is the greatest law
ever enacted in all history for the ben
eft of the farmer" he said.
He informed the audience that any
one interested can have a copy of this
law by writing him letter at Boise
for one. He explained quite fully the
operation of this law. 1t gives the
farmer cheaper money on long time
and easy pay" he said.

challenged any one to stand UP and
dispute his figures. He then proceed
ed to show that under the Haines adj

600 and Haines sold $4,000 worth Of

administration he reduced the state
levy for the full two years to 1926, 900,
making saving in taxes OF s535,O00.
To this qhnn1d ha add

this should be added 1915, 200 more, or a
grand saving to the taxpayers of ST.
10000. The governor showed that no
bonds were issued under his admins
tration.
He went into the Allen treasury

ians wanted him to accept as a final
settlement
The governor flayed Coffin for his
bill OF $4,000 in the Allen case. He
urged the election of men who will
support him in the plan he has deyel
