TAYLOR WILL SEE THE
CONTEST THROUGH
TO THE END

Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. Her
Caldwell few hours Friday of last
pose of attending the school pageant
ing the Oregon Trail. Governor Tay-
lor stated that he was greatly sur
prised and highly gratified with the
pageant. Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor were
accompanied to Caldwell by Governor
and Mrs Alexander.
Lieutenant Governor Taylor is a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor He announced
several months ago that at the pro-
per time he would become candidate.
just before the Twin Falls conven-
tion Lieutenant Governor Taylor stat
ed that he was in the field During the
Twin Falls convention and since he
stated that he would be in the fight
until the last vote was counted.
Mr.. Taylor has served two terms
in his present position. He is we'll
known and very popular in all sec
tions of the state. He feels confident
that he will be the Republican nomi-
nee for governor and that he will be
elected.
Prohibition Case. $685..
When Senate Bill No. so came be-
fore the Supreme Court of the state
Lieutenant Governor Taylor was call
ed to Boise by the Court to explain
the intent of the legislature in regard
to possession. 1t was contended by
one of the attorneys that such things
as innocent possession" and guilty
possession" of alcoholic liquors were
contemplated by the legislature and
provided for. Mr.. Taylor pointed out
the intent and meaning of the legisla-
ture in regard to possession of alco-
holic liquor. The contention of Gov.
Taylor was sustained by the Court.
AT the time The Tribune referred
to Governor Taylor's appearance and
apparently did him an injustice. We
make this explanation at this time in
justice to Mr.. Taylor
When seen by a representative of
The Tribune Friday Governor Tay-
lor said:
81 am a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for governor and will
be candidate until the last vote is
counted, and then will be the nomi-
nee. I believe that my standing and
record in Idaho justifes me in being
candidate for this high office.
shall stand squarely on my record.
During the past ten days I have
visited a number of counties in
southern Idaho, am highly gratihed
with the reception that has been ac-
corded me. There is no doubt in my
mind as to whom the Republicans will
nominate at the September primary
election"

do not vote on any of the amendments
proposed, while others vote yes or
no. at random. Not one elector in
ten ever read the amendments pro-
posed at the general election in the
year 1910 hence the limited vote
thereon.
In the foregoing described helter-
SHELTER manner more than twenty al
legged amendments have been added to

the trainers of that instrument erected
to limit taxation, Articles VII, and
VIII. have been emasculated by So

that taxes have become burdensome
Being one of the few men now
living who participated in framing the
constitution of Idaho l am sensitive
regarding its violation, and l feel it to
be not only my right but my duty. to
call your attention to the foregoing.

with your suggestions as to the pro-

SWAPPING SIDES.
Rtes it..

One good trait in the American peo-
pie is that they are not always anxious
to swap horses in the middle of the
stream" This is one evidence that
Woodrow Wilson will have no serious
opposition in his race for rejection as
president this fall.
A curious thing in some public peo-
pie is there efforts to "straddle the
fence" swap sides, play one side one
time or the other on the next chance.
The American people admire a plain
and honest man who will state his con-
victions and fight for them. If he is
shown that he is wrong, they admire
him all the more for changing.
The United States faces two acute
ituations in regard to Their interna-
tional affairs. Mexico on the south is
harassed us with some of her out
growth pillaging the property and
destroying the lives of our epople.
Germany, across the seas, is logged in
her determination to run the world as
she pleases.
Some curious happenings in recent
events among prominent people in pol
itics shows their trend towards the
middle-with views to suit the circum-
stances, rather than convictions in
keeping with patriotism and self-res-
poet. The New York World had the
following mention:
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, pre-
pared a resolution yesterday calling
for force of 100000 men to intervene
in Mexico. A week ago yesterday Sen
ator Fall voted with the Kaiser against
the President on the Gore resolution.
Senator Gallinger had framed yes
terday a straight-out declaration of
var with Mexico. Senator Gallinger
was another of the heroic fourteen
who voted to sustain the German the
kry of submarine war against the Am
Ierican theory of submarine war.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-

CARRANZA AGREEMENT

The least thing which the United
States could have done was the accep-
tanoe of the Carranza proposal for the
reciprocal agreement of troops of
both countries being allowed to pursue
the Villa bandits in the territory of
both nations. Carranza is president of
his country, and there are at least
some natives who have self-respect,
and should Carranza have permitted
the United States to have ridden
jrcugh-shod over his own territory he
would have lowered himself in the eyes
of the world.
The agreement cannot affect US On
another occasion Carranza troops
passed through the United States to
attack the Villa adherents.
From all indications it appears that
the United States will properly patrol
the border and should an occasion
arise where Villa bandits enter Amer
lean territory it is reasonable to sup
pose that our troops can cope with
the situation without the support of
the Carranza forces.
The United States has all to gain
and nothing to lose. So with united
front and the nation with one will
Villas death warrant has been issued
and the sentence remains to be exc
tuted.
Carranza makes himself stronger in
our eyes by his new position. We have
made him, and apparently he appreci-
htes it.

LIQUOR ADVERTISING.

The Americas Times Recorder well
comes every conversion among news
papers who refuse to accept whiskey
advertising, but it views with
mere or less skepticism the grand
stand plays which some of the news
papers make.
The Georgia weekly newspapers are
TIE most stalwart fighters in this re-
sFect which journalism has in the
state. A vast majority of this class of
papers have never accepted liquor ad-
vertising, and today they present a
solid front in the matte line for pro-
hibition.
A large number of the daily news
papers have lately announced the
change of policy in the matter of
whiskey advertising Prominent among
these are the Hearst newspapers and
the Augusta Chronicle. 1t is peculiar
that these newspapers came out with
their change Of front a short while af-

kota; Senator Cummins, of Iowa; Sem
ator Borah, of Idaho, and Senator
Works, of California, were no Less val
liant than William Randolph Hearst in
dealing with Mexico, and all of them
supported Germany against the United
States in the Observation-Disclosures con-
troversy.
Mr.. Hearst's attitude is simplicity it
self. The Hearst estate has ranches
and mines in Mexico, but the Hearst
estate has no ranches and mines on
merchant ships sunk by German sub
marines. Senator Fall, of New Mex
leo, is in the Hearst class in respect to
motive and purpose. AS for those 9TH
or gallant Republican senators, it may
be said in explanation of their conduct
that there is no Mexican vote, no Ma
tional Mexican-American Alliance, and
10 Wisconsin idea for the nomination
OF a Republican candidate for Presi-
dent who will be acceptable to the
Mexican American organizations.

VOTE FOR BONDS.

On Wednesday the voters of Ameri-
Gus will decide whether the city shall
issue $4,000 in bonds. Technically
these bonds are for the purpose off
street work and improvements. The
results of that election will clearly de-
fine the attitude of the majority of the
citizens of Americas.
The proposition has been laid he
fore the people. The city government
owes a large amount of money which
is bearing interest from 7 to per
cent. 1t is necessary that this money
be paid and the credit of the city main
tanned. The bond issue will pay for
itself in interest alone-the saving
between 4 IL and 8 per cent.
1t is necessary that street work be
continued 1t is proposed that the
money now coming from the common
treasury for this work shall be de-
voted to paying off the city's indebt-
edness, and the proceeds from the
bend sale to carry on this work.
There's the business in it.
Vote your convictions-butk keep the
welfare of Americas in mind.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-03-14

ter the Georgia legislature enacted a
law which will forbid this advertising
after May 1st, 1916. They have only a
few months to flourish their late right
e0usness.
But while in the honors are being
extended; the trumpets proclaiming
the virtues of the late converts-it
might be we'll to bear in mind that the
Georgia weekly press is the bulwark
around which the fight has cen waged
and they have never proved unfaith-
full to their convictions.

The Public
Safety VaLOe
Editor Times-Recorder:

With reference to the issue of bonds
by the city, the writer wishes to say i'll
the beginning, that he is in favor of
bonds, for the following reasons:
If one were paying per cent inter
est compounded, and could secure
money elsewhere at 4 or 4 1-2 per cent
and pay up this debt on which he was
paying per cent, would it not be good
business to do so? l think so, and
doubtless all business men are of the
same opinion Now as l understand it,
these bonds are for the purpose of
carrying On public improvement, in
order that the regular income of the
city will be released for the purpose of
carrying on such expenses as may call
upon this fund.
1t has been argued by some that they
see no reason for the issue of these
monds, stating as their reason for OPP
position that they have no assurance
that the bond fund will not be con-
sumed and then again in a short time
the city will be in the same box as it
now finds itself. While the writer is
not speaking for or in behalf of any of
the city officials, yet in a casual dis
cussiOn of the matter with some of
them, he is assured that the city in
tends to curtail expenses by reducing
the immense cost of public improve
ments that has heretofore prevailed.
The writer of this article would like
to say to the gentlemen of the Council
that if they will for the present dis
continue large and expensive con-
struction work upon the streets, such
as heavy grading and large expendi-
lures in the shape of concrete work,
ard such other things as necessarily go
with large undertakings, like re-shap-
iEg and regarding streets, curbing,
etc, thereby doing away with the nee
essity of large forces which have been
used for the past several months, this
will greatly reduce the expenditure.
Tie writer is heartily in favor of all
street improvements and merely sug-
gests this plan to be pursued until the
city in measure gets upon its feet.
Again, it is argued that there has
been no statement of any sort showing
what all of this Indebtedness is for, or
tc whom it is owing. In other words,
they argue that they are called upon to
pay an account without any statement
i'll detail of what the items are. Now,
We think that the people are entitled
TO statement or some sort, inasmuch
as they have to pay the bill. This
seems to me should be clear to every
one.
1t is also stated that there is 5000
Of borrowed money falling due now be-
fore a great while and the epople
would doubtless like to know what, if
is going to be done about
this; or what arrangements are now in
view for the repayment of this fund.
Moreover, what effect it will have, if
any, upon the fund for the bonds now
20 lie issued.
The writer certainly hopes that the
people of the city will consider this
bond issue favorably, for it will Ger,
tainly be good business to reduce the
charges by their issue.
The writer would also suggest to
the citizens that in their discussion of
the matter, they ascertain from them
what steps, if any, they expect to take
to reduce the expenditure of money, in
order to place the city in better shape
