one Of the elements In the communi-
ty which threatened this country
with plutocracy.

to regulate them In the first inter-

THIS WILL Be BUSY
YEAR FOR VOTERS

Politically 1916 is to be a conven-
tion and primary year for both
national and state elections are to
take place, which means not a little |
preliminary work will have to be
done in the nomination Of candidates
and the adoption of platforms. There
will be two elections. the first on
Sept. when the candidates for vari-
GUS congressional and state Offices
are nominated at the primaries. and
the general election on Nov. when
the chosen ones are elected to Office.
In addition there may be primary
elections by parties for the election
of delegates to state conventions,
which shall in turn elect delegates to
national conventions; the election.
either by preferential primaries or
by conventions, of national commit
teemen and the election Of delegates
to county conventions, which shall In
turn elect delegates to state conven-
tions to promulgate party platforms
on which candidates shall stand. The
present year is indeed an election
year when all voters will have their
hands full endeavoring to keep track
of the multitude Of duties they will
be called upon TO perform in the
proper use of their franchise.
Each political party will hold at
least two state conventions. and there
will be as many, or more, conventions
held by the parties In each county.
The first conventions to be held will
be prior to the date of the conyening
of the national conventions. and are
for the purpose of electing delegates
from this state to those conventions
: 1t is the duty of the respective STATE
central committees of the parties tc
set dates for the holding of these
conventions and to determine hos
the delegates to such convention
shall be elected from the respective
counties. The democratic state cen
tral committee has been summonel
to meet here March 6 for that pur
= pose. The republican state centrs
= committee has set April 20 at Twi
= Falls for the state convention.
The election of delegates TO tn

FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF
\ DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION
Jerry Day IS After Bob Elders Scalp and Arthur
Bowen is Hot on Joe Pence'S TraiI-Factions
Will Clash in Boise on March 6.

6kAAA AtAAHtA Win GQAhtG GN G&&G GuGGSthE
the democratic state committee inI
Boise March 6. This meeting is
called to arrange for state conven-
ton to name delegates to the st.
Louis convention and TO name men,
ber of the national committee. The
idea of holding q statewide primary
has been brushed aside as unneces-
sary and too expensive. It is held
that the party has not the necessary
machinery for the holding of such a
primary and that it has no way Of
meeting the expense.
1t is announced. however, that
concession will be made to the let
the-people-rule faction in the party.
The democrats of any county will be
permitted to hold a county primary,
if they wish, for the selection Of dele
gates to the state convention. 1t
may be that they will be even per-
mitted to express q choice for mem
ber of the national committee and
for delegates to the national conven-
ton.
Elder and Pence men here in the
capital express absolute confidence
in their ability to control this meet
ing Of the state committee next
month. 1t would be strange indeed
if they could not after having been
in complete control for four years.
But the real fight will come at the
state convention a month or two
later, and here is where the opposi-
tion expect to oust Robert II. Elder
/ and set the forces in operation for
the ousting of Joseph T. Pence a lit
tie later.
| But, whatever the outcome, the
scrimmage promises rare fun for the
man up a tree. Jerome ]. Day will
come down from the north with
strong backing. He and his broth
ers Of the Coeur d'Alene mines have
the money to enable them to make 8
fight. and the information get Ii
that they are ready to spend the
necessary amount. Added to thii
Day has the support of the disgrun
tied element in all parts of the state

IHE STATE EAR

The entire state of Oklahoma would
feel the loss of the Oklahoma state
fair. While Oklahoma City provides
the state with these buildings and
with the grounds, yet they belong to
the state as a whole, and every portion
of the entire common wealth profits
from the fair.
Oklahoma will also appreciate the
fact that while the flames We're leap
ing high into the air that the tele-
phone was busy. G. b. Stone was
calling a meeting OF ;he directors to
plan the early construction OF build
ings in the burned district 1t is for

oklahoma City has the old-time pluck
that leads away from dismay and dis
appointment and to the rebuilding of

COTTON. A PROFITABLE CROP

A bale of cotton is worth 500. IL
really begins to look that way now.
Cotton at 15c means the lint of 500
pound bale will bring $75 and with
seed at $50 ton means that the seed
from bale will bring $25. Add the
SIS to the $25 and there YOU have one
hundred dollars. That price is tempt
ing TO the farmer. He will run the
risk of the boil weevll and run the
risk of over production to plant a
big acreage when he can get so good
price for what he raises. Cotton
at this price for a few years would
make the south prosperous and there
should never be time when it would
sell for less. The southern cotton
grower can own a farm if such prices
prevailed for few years.
Reports reaching here recently say
that the country is infested by the boil
weevil. 1t is said that the weevil has
done more damage to cotton locally
than the drouth. The ridding of the
country of this pest is problem %
be worked out by the farm demon
strators, and when their plans have
been adopted the farmers ought to
give every needed cooperation. The
veevi cannot live and do well here
for a very long period but they can
work for few years and in that
length of time they can bring much
poverty to the people. The govern
ment has successfully fought the boil
weevil. and it can do so again. And
in the fight against the boil weevil
lessons in diversified farming have
been learned that are worth more to
the country than can ever be esti-
mated

HERE. BUCK!

Under the heading "A Few Water
melon Facts" the Oklahoman comes
out this morning with tip which
should put Buck Garrett and all the
other sheriffs and under sherilfs and
L. S. marshals in action without a
single moments delay.
The Oklahoman is giving some well
needed advice to Kansas in regard to
an editorial in which Hen. Allen in
his Beacon" has discovered that Ok
lahoma has another crop which is su-
perior to Kansas, and advises Kansas
TO raise watermelons.
The Ollahoman is up on its hind
legs, and goes after the Beacon hut
in the process showing such 'hor-
ough knowledge of wet" conditions
that it makes us suspicious at once
Says the Oklahoman, "The rich,
sparkling, eXhilarating ambrosla which
saturates the Oklahoma watermelon
is extracted from our champagne
air" Reference is then made to the
"winc flushed heart of the Oklahoma
watermelon" and then the writer goes
further and compares the favor to
Burgundy, Chianti Lacrymae de Cris-
to, and gives the whole snap away
He also refers to the soda pop soil
of Kansas-thereby showing that he
knows what he is talking about.
We are with the Oklahoman's ed
itorial writer, but there Is no use IN
giving things away every time we
have good thing up our sleeve, and
stirring up all the officials and putting
them on our trail, for now, without
doubt, there will be a rush of people
in from Kansas which will tax our
resources to feed on short notice.
But let 'em come.

for oil development are not consider
ed departmental lands, and are not
subject to the rules governing depart
mental leases. This opinion clears
up the case of number of leases
where the owners are attempting to
pay their gross production taxes un-
der protest on the federal agency
theory. Mr.. Howard holds that where,
restrictions have been removed since
leases were made, the tax must be
paid without reference to the federal
agency theory. This will affect many
leases in the chief oil fields of this
state.

period covered by the act; it would
mean piece meal road building and
much dissipation of effort and mis-
direction of funds. These require
ments hold whether the state as
such under the existing law, may en-
gage in road building or not the
provision that where the state may
not engage in highway Improvements
the money may be secured If counties
raise an amount sufficient to meet
the apportionment to the state in
wolves the necessity on the part OF
such counties of raising an amount SUI
ficent to meet the full apportionment
for the state, the existence of high
wav commission, and compliance
with all the other terms of the act
I speak of this because there are
evidences that individual counties
think that, if they raise a certain sum
of money, they will of necessity get
a corresponding sum from the federal
treasury. That is not my construc-
ton of the act and not the one that
will be likely to prevail.
"The duty will rest upon you gem
tlemen who represent the states of
informing the people as to the mean
ing of this legislation and as to the
initiative under theIaw lies with you
We are directed to cooperate with
you; with the state through the state
highway department. 1t is your duty,
if your state accepts the law, to agree
with us on roads to be constructed
and to submit projects, plans, and
specifications. Therefore, individu-
ais, associations, and counties will
of necessity take up such matters di-
rectly with you, and we shall hear
from them through you for the most
part"
