The present administration decided
to cater to popular clamor, but do you
as a Progressive think the bill as pass
ed at the last session of congress was
passed in keeping with the true idea?
think the delay in passing 1t, and the
final changes made in 1t, particularly
the 30 day clause. conclusively show
the lack of sincerity of the Democratic
party. This one instance parallels their
treatment of other Progressive prob
lens. l see nothing more than
death-be repentance in any action
along Progressive party lines that has
come from President Wilson and his
administration.
You refer to Governor Hughes veto
of the two-cent fare law, of his mes
sage to the legislature opposing the
income tax amendment. and the vote
of the full crew law, but you overlook
the matter OF quoting from his state
ment made at the time, and which he
gave his plain reasons for his action.
Progressives are a class that will look
beyond your abstract statement before
they will conclude that Governor
Hughes was in error.
Il see no reason. however. why any
Of this army of Progressives should
neglect their duty to this candidate to
sustain the Wilson administration
simply because Of the chances of per-
sonal advancement, or because of any
hope of good coming from a party so
enwrapped in materialism that it can
not see the spiritual truth in any ques-
ton or policy; and for that reason we

leader who saw in Chicago last June.

the Progressive in this campaign must
take cognizance of all affairs national.

knowledge that courage is better as

is never too proud to fight for the

Is THIS WORTH ANYTHING TO YOU?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating
The opponents of Governor Alexander are trying des
peratey to make the people of the state believe that he
has saved nothing during the two years of his admins
tration.
The proof of the saving is the pockets of the tax
payers
During the two years of the Hanes administration the
Etate OF Idaho demanded from the taxpayers of Ada
county for general state purposes the total of $780,
10153; during the two years of the Alexander admins
raton the total demand for the purpose but $12S
1882
In other words the taxpayers of Ada county alone will
pay to the state for general state purposes 81
LESS taxes during the two of Alexander than they
paid during the two years of Hanes.
Has Alexander been worth nothing to the taxpayers
OF Ada county then9 Do the taxpayers of Ada county
have little regard for their money that they do not
think 1t worth while to have had governor who has act
ualy reduced their taxes $72,372. 81 in two years?
Nobody is buying votes, but is not this fair compe-
saton for the votes that Alexander received which en-
abed him to reduce the tax burden much? What are
the taxpayers OF Ada county in politics for? Is it
ward some party or some party machine, of
politicians? Or they interested in politics only in
order to that they get good government the least
possible expenditure of money! If this be the purpose
as we believe It is then why consider returning to the old
conditions OF extravaganza, scandal and high taxation?
The taxes demanded from Ada county general state
purposes during the last four years. the first two of which
were under Haines, and the last two under Alex
ander, the following sums:
For 1913 $1O1 524OO for 1914 $99 TT SO: for 1915
$7401275 for 1916, $54,32617.
Thus 1t will be that Alexander has reduced the
states demands upon the taxpayers of Ada county from

possessor or to the body as a whole
but when the thousand dollars are the
property of one individual. they be-
come of vastly more power than the
sum total of the individual units. The
congregated fund moves in one direc-
ton, and has common aim, whereas
the scattered dollars all have different
ends and aims.
The beneficial work Of the savings
bank can best be seen by a simple IL
lustration, drawn from actual fact and
in process in savings banks every day.
Let us assume that a hundred people
have deposited SO each in a savings
bank, thereby making a fund of a $1,000
under the control of the banker. One
of the members of the group wishes to
erect house, having the land paid
for. He applies to the bank for loan
or 81 900 and Is granted the
use OF the money deposited by the
other members OF the group. The car
penters. masons, plumbers, painters,
etc., are employed and the fund begins
to do its work. Each workman de-
Ponds for his pay upon the savings
bank, which will make advances from
time to time as the work progresses.
Not alone the men who are directly
employed, but the material dealer who
furnishes the brick, stone and mortar.
the lumberman and the iron worker
wherever material Is produced or
manufactured the stimulus of this op-
GRAFTON Is felt.
The bulk of the money goes to labor.
tc be spent for food, clothing, shelter
and amusement, and all the Industries
that cater to the wants of man feel
the benefits. 1t passes from hand to
hand, down through the courses of
society, until eventually it finds its
way back into some bank for similar
operation.
When a school district issues a block
of bonds to build q new school house,
a city for street pavements, sewers,
water. parks, etc, the same results fol-
low-labor gets the benefit And from
the portion that is not used for i'm
mediate satisfaction of the wants of
men, a portion finds it's way back into
the bank to be united with other thrift
dollars to benefit the masses.
When 1t is remembered that a sin gle
savings bank in New York has on its
books today over 1000 open mortgage
loans, representing $40 100000 thus
placed in circulation. the far-reaching
effects of the savings bank will become
manifest.
We might well claim the savings
bank to be builder of cities. for 1t
has, for a century, been assembling
money from the many to lend to the
few, to be passed out again through
the pay envelope for the benefit of
the many.
Every time you enter a well-kept
home. cross a we'll paved street. walk
In the park, draw a cup of water. send
YOUR children to school--yea. it may
be tear open your pay envelope you
may owe a debt of gratitude to some
savings hank for furnishing the money
that made all these things possible.
You can best pay Your debt by joining
the army Of the contented" who use
the savings bank as the reservoir to
store their savings to be passed out
again with the savings of others for
the benefit of mankind.

$99 1T 3d. the year of the Haines administration to
only for the last under the Alexander adj
mnistration.
He has reduced the total demand for that purpose dur
ing his two years from the $780, 053 demanded under
the Hanes administration to 1928 49, for the two years
under the Alexander administration net gain in dollars
and cents actually left in the pockets of the taxpayers
the county of $7237261
The taxpayer should not fail to notice that the actual
amount of reduction taxation for general state pr-
poses amounts to nearly $4,000 than the total
amount asked for whole years share in the cost of
government for general purposes.
In other words Governor Alexander has saved the tax
payers of Ada county in only two years than enough
to their entire state tax for year. Saving one
whole years taxes is not bad performance is it, only
two years?
These benefits not confined to Ada county taxpav-
ers alone Every other county in the state shares pro
portion. For example, Canyon county alone receveda
demand from the state for the two wears
upder anes For the two years under Alexander the
nand for the purposes for only $67 8O2 so
saving of nearly onehalf. But Canyon county was
divided and Gem county was created out of part of #
and part Of Boise county Counting the Alexander tax
demand for both Canyon and Gem counties for the past
two years and it has been only $SS367 against the
o93 for Canyon county alone during the two years
previous
In Boise county the demand from the Haines admins
traion for $32 1884, while under Alexander If has
been only 500, 22775.
For Washington county the Haines demand was for
SO while the Alexander demand has been for only
S32, 249 90
For Twin Falls county the demand for taxes for these
purposes has been reduced from the $84971O3 under
Haines to only $60,5o5.21 under Alexander
II Is lOf every county OF the state the Iedc
ton IN two years under Alexander being approximately
enough to pay one entire years state tax
Why should this not count for very much in selecting
the governor for the next two years? Does it not count
especially much because the reduction came at time
when taxation increasing by such leaps and bounds
to cause condition of actual fright in the minds of the
taxpayers?
To have stopped the increase would have been ire
lnendOus accomplishment but to have not only stopped
the increase but to have brought about reduction
In two sufficient to pay years taxes is nothing
short of marvellous.
Does it mean nothing to you? Docs it not indicate
duty on your part to encourage sustain and appreciate
such service by giving support to the who accom-
plished so great achievement?
