In making formal announcement of
my candidacy for the Republican
nomination for governor, 1 feel that
it would be presumptuous for me to
invade the province of platform
convention At the time and place
fixed by law the platform conven-
tions will assemble and announce
platforms on which all candidates
must make their appeals. The plat
form promulgated by my party at
that time viii be my platform, and
it will be my duty, if nominated
and elected, to use whatever influ-
ence 1 may have toward fulfilling the
pledges made If l am successful that
duty viii be honestly performed.
l believe, however, that the duties
of a public servant are not restrict
ed to advocacy of the things con-
tanned in a platform, but extend to
all things that are for the public
good. l feel that every candidate
should have something to offer the
public to justify the support he asks.
To be content with declarations for
law enforcement, economy, a busi-
ness administration of the states
affairs and for high standard of
public service is not enough. All
good citizens favor these things, and
no candidate is worthy of support
who does not favor them. Commend
able as they are, they alone will
not bring relief to the people of the
state.
There are certain policies which 1
believe to be of overshadowing I'M
portance, and if elected l will earn
estly urge their adoption. Among
these are:
Conversion of Idaho's resources
into interest-bearing securities and
making the earnings therefrom pay
the cost of government.
Selling the school bonds held by
the state and giving Idaho farmers
the use of the s2,5OO,O00 tied up in
them.

FOR GOVERNOR.

| farmers at a low rate of interest to
develop the state with our own re-
sources.
Removing state boards from poll
tics and making fitness the basis for
appointments thereto
Putting the fish and game depart
ment under a game commission.
Providing a uniform system of ac-
counting by bringing all departments
under one general head, so that the
exact financial condition of the state
may be shown at any time.
Simplifying the method of making
state loans and expediting their clos
ing by having appraisements made
and titles examined by officers of
counties in which the securities are
located.
l stand firmly on the proposition Of
so handling our resources as to se-
cure an immediate and increasing re-
duction of tax burdens, and the crea-
ton of a fund which in time will
provide sufficient revenue to free US
from taxation entirely. We are US
ing not to exceed one-fifth of our
capital. By putting the other four
fifths at work We can produce
great revenue, and by using a part
of this revenue bring about i'm
mediate relief. By adding the unused
earnings to capital and reinvesting
them we can within a reasonable
length of time have a fund great
enough to produce sufficient revenue
to meet all the expenses of govern
ment. No struggling business man
would think of trying to get along
by using only a small part of his
capital, leaving the larger part of it
unemployed Neither would a prudent
business man use all the earnings of
a growing business for current e1-
penses and leave nothing to add to
his capital to take care Of this
growth. 1 favor the handling of Ida
hos resources the same as any cap
able business man would handle
them were they his own.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
(By Fred Johnson)

Baseball season opened last Friday
afternoon when Payette defeated the
Ontario diamond stars by decisive
scors of to 5. This was the first
game of the season and beyond a
doubt, demonstrated to the baseball
fans that we have a baseball team
that is worth supporting. The game
was not as fast a game as it would
have been had Payette gone up
against a team as strong as We are.
Capt. Crump was not present, which
caused some uneasiness among the
players as to who would play first
base, but all fears We're quickly
calmed when Vinks stepped out on
the first sack Hosea Shafer was the
star of the game, getting a home
run on two hits. The lineup was as
follows:
Batteries: Forbes, catcher; Good
win and Bean, pitchers; Byron, 1st
base; Hutchinson, End; Bean, 3rd;
Farber, R. field; Short, Center field;
Stonehocker, L. field; Shamberger,
sub. for Farber; Johnson. sub. for

MR.. r. U. sPAULDING PROMOTED.

In speaking of an important change
which recently took place in the
management of the Weiser National
Bank, the Signal says that W. J.
Speer, who has been cashier Of that
institution for seven years, has sold
his interest to R. U. Spaulding and
y. E. ingalls,, who also purchased
some other holdings, and that Mr..
Spaulding will succeed Mr.. Speer as
cashier. In this connection the Sig
nal takes occasion to pay a very
nice compliment to Mr.. Spaulding,
who has held the position of assist
ant cashier for number of years:
Occasionally it happens that q
home young man is given a just re-
ward for his services and ability,
and it is most gratifying to the Sig
nal to see Ralph Spaulding promoted
to position in the bank commensur-
ate with his knowledge of the bank
ing business, his standing in busi-
ness circles and his ability to make
and keep real true and loyal friends.
Ralph combines caution, conservatism
and rare business judgment with a
pleasing personality and he will
make a most valuable man at the
cashiers window.
1.-The Signal extends it's heartiest
congratulations to him and predicts
that he will make good"
The Enterprise is also pleased to
note the advancement of Mr.. Ralph
Spaulding and to extend the con-
gratulations of his many Payette
friends. He is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
L. w. Spaulding of this city and
took his first lessons in banking in
the First National of this city, un-
der P. A. Devers, who was then
cashier of that institution. Upon
the organization of the Payette Ma
tional, Ralph became connected with
that bank, from which he went
about eight years ago, to accept
position in the Weiser National Bank,
where he has finally climbed up to
the responsible position of cashier.

DEATH OF DR.. SHoNTZ.

DR.. R. l. Shontz, of whose critical
illness at Spokane, Wash, mention
was made in this paper last week,
died Thursday afternoon and was
buried Saturday afternoon, when the
funeral services were conducted from
the Catholic cathedral in that city.
DR.. Shontz was "a years old. He
left Payette to become a resident OF
Spokane nine years ago, where he
subsequently married and had en-
joyed a large practice as dentist
up to the date of his last illness,
when it became necessary for him
to undergo an operation for ulcer of
the stomach. He will be remembered
by many in this city as most
likeable young man of winsome
personality, for whom the future
seemed to hold bright prospects. He
was a brother of Mrs. Creighton and
Mr.. C. B. Shontz of this place. Mr.,
Creighton, who went to Spokane up
on the receipt of the news that DR..
Shont7 was not expected to recover,
returned to Payette Monday evening.

MOST MAGNIFICENT
DRAMAEVERSTAGED
WILL COME TO EMMA THEATRE
FOR A SINGLE NIGHT.
APRIL 20.

The Chicago Daily Tribune, says
OF this great photo drama:
There is clearness, detail and
smoothness to such a degree that
one almost forgets moving repre-
sentation rather than the actual OBJ
ject IS being observed. 1t is pic
ture absolutely as comfortable to
watch as the passing panorama from
railroad train, inducing less eye
strain than the latter. Another notice
able point, redounding to the attrac-
tiveness of the pictures, is their size,
large enough to communicate the rela
tive size of people and buildings, CIV
ing their atmospheric relationship
without a sense of crowding.
" 'Cabiria' is full of conflict and
escape from conflict, giving vivid
impression of the rather violent
manner of living of that strenuous
day. There is more story to it than
to most feature films, providing many
opportunities for deeds of men,
which share in distinction with the
spectacular scenes staged by nature.
Splendid scenic displays con-
tribute to its complete effectiveness,
the sand covered desert, the snow
crowned Alps, the surging sea, the
fires of the .erupting volcano and Of
the Roman fleet ignited by Archf
medes' device for calling flame from
the sun with his mirrors, are wonder
fully and attractively pictured and
last night called from the audience
appreciative expressions.
'Cabiria' is a picture which one
does not discuss while it is traAspir-
ing; it keeps the observer busy OBJ
serving during its progress It is
conveniently divided into acts, IN
the brief intervals of which the at
tention has chance to rest, but
not sufficiently long to prove bore
some. The circumstances of its pro-
lection here are comfortable and its
accompaniment is pleasing,
Sc that it favorably combines al of
the desirable points of cinema en-
