HIGH PRAISE FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON
BY PROGRESSIVE
Rexburg Man Says Execu-
tive Is Greater Than His
Party-Favors Reduction
in Rates of Interest.

President Wilson, like Governor
Alexander, is far ahead OF the Demo-
cratic party in the matter Of progress
sive legislation. This is the opinion Of
Chris Jensen, Of Rexburg. one Of the
Progressive party leaders in the south
eastern part Of the state, who is In
Boise. In an interview he said:
You may quote me as saying that
the present political situation is de-
cidedly unsatisfa Glory to the average
citizen. In the last presidential cleo
ton the people selected Mr.. Wilson
solely because he had very fair rec
ord Of progressive legislation to his
credit. President Wilson in the ma
ton, like Governor Alexander in the
state, is far ahead OF his party in this
respect. In the state legislature here
the old parties are making the usual
record of incompetence and extrava-
gance, and progressive legislation does
not seem to fare much better with
the Democratic majority than it did in
former legislatures which were con-
trolled by the Republicans. One of the
many advanced proposals which have
failed before the present session is
that which would protect the farmers
of Idaho against extortionate interest
rates.
RECOMMENDED BY GOVERNOR.
THE last Progressive party platform
specifically declared for legislation
which would reduce the rates of in
terest to 8 per cent, which, heaven
knows. is high enough, and this was
strongly recommended by Governor
Alexander to the present legislature. A
bill is on it's way through the legisla-
ture making 10 per cent the legal rate,
which will give some relief, but not
very much.
This measure, in my opinion, was
only introduced to keep us from getting
real relief. The fact is, the farmer
cannot pay 10 per cent and live. He
must be able to get money at a much
lower rate il he is to prosper, and at
the present time many farmers in my
section have to pay IL per cent besides
heavy commissions. This is downright
extortion. and the legislature certainly

PLANS FOR FUTURE.

white the Progressives were divid-

think it is absolutely certain that
the members of the party will be found
working together in the future. The
Progressives who fought together for
four years learned to work together
during that time. formed many warm
friendships and practically all OF them
feel that the movement was a great
force for Progressive legislation, In
that it forced the reactionary Demo
cratic party to pass such legislation
Whenever an opportunity arrives they
are going to get together again. just
