Not in several years has SO muen

missed that the show will display more

or the Pageants of the Thousand and
One Nights. This great display,
which is portrayed by 1850 persons,
and hundreds of horses, elephants and
camels depicts in pageantry the
famous tales of the Arabian Nights.
In New York City, where this pageant
was produced for the first time this
spring, it was announced the most
gorgeous and stupendous Oriental dis
play ever presented in America.
Among the foreign circus novelties
to be seen for the first time this season
are four troupes of wonderful Chinese

great Hannefond family of riders; Sig

is powerless to hold responsible
agencies which it cannot create but
for whose acts it is held responsible.
This suggestion is not a new one with
me but has been advocated by me ever
since | became a member of the land
board, realizing its limitation and its
suspension from the active work of
this department.
Farm Loans.
Six per cent interest on farm loans
on the amortization plan, one per cent
p, OF the interest p@id applying upon the
principal. 1t was upon my motion
that the land board reduced interest
on farm loans from to 6 per cent.
Care must be exercised lest a too low
interest shall reduce the returns to
the school fund and thus add to the
burden of general taxation. Ii would
be obviously unfair to favor tie small
percentage Of citizens who secure farm
loans over the large percentage of tax
payers who do not secure farm looms
Convict Labor.
The operation of plHnt at the
penitentiary, the output which would
not interfere with the rights of labor
in Idaho. AS a member of the state
board of prison commissioners, l have
been active in an effort to secure the
operation of such a plant, the cost JW
installation to paid from the profits.
At one time such a plan was suggested
and negotiations were pending when
the war in Europe interfered with the
market for raw materials used by the
company which made the overture for
the construction of such plant.
Convict labor has been used by the
state highway commission and state
prison commissioners upon the Sho-
shone grade last year and at White
bird this year. The distance from the
been such that only the most reliable
TRUSTEES could be sent out on this work.
In the cause of humanity the state
should have an operating plant of some
sort inside the prison walls as the con-
Wet road labor does not employ suf-
ficient number of convicts, not because
of lack of work for them, but be-
cause of the risk involved in their en-
ployment outside the walls
Taxation.
Public utilities commission should
have added powers of tax commission
by constitutional amendment. Present
system of equalzing state taxes made
quate. Elective officials comprising
state board of equalization have little
time to study taxation problems Re-
pudiation of debts not saving. Each
administration should take care of it's
own obligations and not leave them
for succeeding administrations. One
administration should not live cheap
and the next administration be forced
to make up for the former admins
tration's "cheapness."

To the Republican Voters of Idaho
In announcing my candidacy for re-
nomination on the republican ticket for
secretary of state, | am acting within
the accepted written law of the party
being upon my first term in Office and
asking at the hands of my republican
friends a denomination.
On account of the meeting of the
state board of equalization, | will have
no time to make a personal canvass
of the state l am paid to be on. the
job.
During my incumbency the work of
the secretary of states office has
greatly increased Figures from time
to time have been placed before the
public showing the large increased
volume of work in this Office. This ad-
ditional burden has been carried on
without added expense to the taxpay-
ers and with the same number of en-
ployes as when | entered upon my
official duties and with smaller ap-
preparation from the legislature than
for the two years previous to my in
cumbency.
The following is brief synopsis of
my views upon state issues:
State Highways.
A generous appropriation by the
next legislature for state highway
purposes. The federal appropriation
which becomes available to Idaho is
based upon ffty-fifty basis and to
make this federal money available the
state will have to put up dollar for
dollar. ~
which | am member, has commenced
work upon the much talked of north
and south highway by the employment
of convict labor at Whitebird. On ac-
count of the lack of population and of
valuation in the country through
which the north and south highway is
to be built l believe that the heavy
burden of the expenditure should be
borne by the state at large.
irrigation Projects.
Suits in ejectment by the state
against companies which are not in
good faith attempting to furnish the
amount of water agreed to be furnish
ed in their contracts with the settlers.
Land Board.
The method of handling the land
business of the state has outgrown the
limitations placed upon this depart
ment by the constitutional amend
ment whereby a state board of land
commissioners shall have charge of
this work, and direct responsibility for
it. The state land board, as provided
for by the constitution, is too far re-
moved from the inception and progress
of the work of the department. Direct
attention to and direct responsibility
for this department can only be
brought about by board directly re-
sponsible. The lard board has to de-
pend upon the state engineer whom it
does not appoint, has to depend upon
