CALLS DRY LAW
A MONSTROSITY
OYERSMITH SAYS at is LAWFUL
FOR THE CHURCH TO COR
RUPT OUR MORALS"
Asks Court to Declare IdahO's Dras.
tic Dry Law Void and UncOnst1tu-
tiOnal, in Crane Case

A. H. Oversmith, candidate for the
Republican nomination for county at
torney, who is reported to base his
hopes of success principally upon the
support of the dry vote, appeared
as counsel of Ed Crane in the
case that has been carried through
the supreme court of Idaho and to the
supreme court of the United States in
an effort to invalidate Idaho's drastic
prohibition law, commonly referred to
as Senate Bill so.
In a supplemental brief submitted
by Mr.. Oversmith, he declares his pur-
pose to be to present to the court a
common sense" view of the law,
which he refers to as this legislative
ligion," he says in the brief, referring
to the provision of wine for sacra-
mental purpose, "our misguided leg
islature has permitted the use and
possession of an intoxicating liquor,
and has neither limited the amount
that may be possessed for that pur-
pose nor the amount that may be con-
sumed.
ssIn order that our health and NOR
ais may be good our Legislature has
sought to prevent us from having IN
our possession intoxicating liquors
for our own use and benefit, but rec
ognizes the right of the Church to
have such liquors in its possession,
and not only the right of possession
in the church is recognized as being
lawful, but" says the brief, "it is law
full for the Church to corrupt our NOR
ais and administer to its communl-
cants that which in the opinion of the
Legislature is detrimental to our
health.
eff the provisions of Chapter II of
the 1915 session laws (the dry law
were thoroughly understood by the
citizens of Idaho the members of the
present legislature would receive
from the hands of their constituents
merited rebuke, not at the hands OF
a mob for the citizens of this state are
law abiding, but at the polls if any OF
them have the temerity of again ask
ing the people for their votes"
s'The petitioner in the case at bar
appeals from the freak legislation
foisted upon us by our legislature to
this court for relief" the brief says
in conclusion, and the court is asked |
to declare the law void and uncOn-
stitutional."

Then read this.
Let us suppose that you never go
driving, that you never see or use
country roads from one years end to
another. There are plenty of people
who don't.
How do good roads affect you?
Very vitality.
The amount of money you have in
the bank, the wages you draw down
in the job you hold, the fees you ask,
the rents you collect, the security of
your business and the volume of your
trade depends very materially on the
kind of roads the county maintains.
You can't escape the effect of roads
no matter who you are or how you
earn your living.
In every town the volume of busi
ness in all lines depends upon the
prosperity of the principal industry
which supports that town. All bust
ness enterprises, all professions, all
jobs, all sources of income are finally
dependent upon the one predominant
ing industry that helped to build the
town and that helps to keep it alive.
That fundamental industry may be
mines, mills, factories, tourists Gas in
California;, fruit, OF some other en-
terprise that has large payroll
In Latah towns the backbone of all
trade and business is agriculture.
Everything in Latah county depends
upon the Latah farmer and his degree
of prosperity
The size of your weekly check is
regulated by the farmers prosperity. |
If you don't believe this, ask your
When the farmers prosper and come |
to town, the stores do bigger busi-
ness. More clerks are hired, larger
wages are paid, larger stocks are
carried.
If the farmers in Latah county do

we'll.
If the farmers don't do we'll, none of
The town people will do we'll.
Our whole commercial life hinges in
Latah county on the farmer.
Now the farmer, as will be seen in

~ if the roads are good He loses
money when the roads are bad.
Every time the farmer loses money
IN account of bad roads, you lose
money. He has just that much less to
spend with your employer or with
rou; and he comes less often to town.
Every time the farmers profits in
.rease because the roads are good,
our profits increase; your trade is

lold a little more money.
Even though you don't own car,

He thinks the legislators that pass

Do you live In town and own a car !
If so, read this.

If so, read this.
If you own car it means that yor
have invested from $500 to $4,000 Of
your capital in an automobile from
which you expect definite return Of
| one kind or another You expect tC
get your investment to pay you d
fair interest. You expect to get youl
moneys worth out of your car either
in pleasure or profit or both.
The average car owner uses his car
TO visit his friends; to give his wife
and children and their friends whole
some recreation and pleasure; to seek
for himself in the open air relaxation
from business or office cares to look
after piece of his property situated
at distance from his town house; in
shert he has good time in his car
! and he does business with it.
Now the degree to which you
achieve either pleasure or profit de-
pends upon the kind of roads you
must travel on.
If the roads are full of chuck holes;
if there are holes in the bridges; if
the approaches to the bridges are
swamps; if the bridge is two feet be-
low grade; if the ruts are too deep
for your car wheels, if there are dan
gerous blind turns if there is loose,
coarse rock with sharp edges; if the
dust is deep thus hiding the chuck
holes; if there is no drainage; if
culvert is lacking where one should
be; ii the road is crowned for too high
in the middle; if tons of loose, smooth
gravel are dumped for miles along
your path just when the season of
rains has passed and there is no
prospect that the new road material
can be worked in for months to come;
if the wrong kind of sand ard gravel
is put on your road; if the road is
not dragged after rains when it is
wet but only when the roads are too
dry for any good effect if any or
all of these things are true, your in
Under such conditions you get neith-
er pleasure nor profit out of riding in
your automobile.
If the county roads are SO bad that |
travel over them is dangerous, vex-
ing, tedious, slow, or downright i'm
possible the money you have spent Oh
you car is wasted.
The county government has in that
case rendered valueless to you the in
vestment of your capital.
In Latah county you have right to
expect to be able to use car and to
get a great deal of pleasure out Of
hat use.
For enough money has already been
spent on Latah county roads to cover
his whole county with a network of
excellent roads.
You have spent lot of money and
rou are going to spend more money
or county roads. You have right
o demand that they shall be good
mes, intelligently planned and intelli-
,ently and faithfully administered.
The car owner has a right to expect
hat when he takes his car out on a
ountry road in Latah county, his
amily and friends shall be safe and
omfortable and that he shall be able
o reach his destination in reasonable
ime unhindered by the faulty condi-
ions of impossible or poorly main
aimed roads.
The eXtravagant, wasteful, and de-
ective system of road management in
atah county has rendered cars use
sss over many roads for weeks and
lOnths at time.

Do you live in the country?
Then read this.


Let us suppose that you are farm
er and that your income depends upon
the crops you can raise and market.
Now farmers use the county roads
for two kinds of hauling. They haul
what they have raised to town and
they haul home the supplies needed
for their business and for the main
tenance of their families.
Did you realize that every time a
farmer climbs into his wagon to take
his crops to town or to bring supplies
back to the farm it costs him some,
thing?
Such trip costs the farmer all the
time he. spends on the road; and to
the farmer, as to every one else time
is money.
While the farmer is on his wagon
and out OF his field he is at expense.
The longer a poor road keeps a
farmer on the wagon the more it costs
him to make those trips to town.
In Latah county mans labor on
his farm is worth fully two dollars a
day.
The labor of pair of horses should
be rated at two dollars day.
Any farmer in Latah county who
spends a whole day going to and from
town has been at an expense of four
dollars for the round trip.
Now if the roads can be so we'll
kept that farmer can make the round
trip in half day, he saves two dol
lars. He can stay in his fields till
naop, or he can make two~trips in a
day.
Four dollars should be deducted from
q farmers profits on every transac-
ton when it takes him a full day to I
get his goods to town.
When the county maintains bad |
ioads, it is to all intents and purpos- i
IS imposing tax on farmer for
his crops.
The county has no right to make
armers dig up four dollars worth of
ime in coming to town when by judi
cious management of the road sys-
EN-, he could make the same trip for
,alf the money
Latah farm products are becoming
veil known and outside buyers are
oming here more and more to buy
,Oods.
Suppose buyer of horses, hogs,
heep, cattle, wool, hides, seeds, grain,
airy COWS, or hay, finds the Latah
Dads SO bad that he can not get to
he farm to look over what the farmer
as to SELL Many deal has failed
4 this county for precisely that rea-
on. The buyer couldn't take the
ime to travel over miserable roads
0 see the farmers stuff.
Suppose at the very moment that
emana is brisk and prices high the
armer can not get his stuff to town
n account of the bad roads.
The county commissioners by their
Dad system actually determine
neither you farmers can sell your
oods when yau want to; whether you
an buy goods when you want TO:
neither you shall be much or little
ut of pocket for your trips to town.
Whether or not your farm pays de-
ends very materially on whether the I
)unty commissioners build you de- I
snt roads and keep them fit to travel :

Vote for commissioners that will
