George T. Marshall candidate for
the nomination for sheriff on the
Republican ticket, was born at
Franklin, Idaho, in 1872. His par
ents were among the first settlers
in the state, HAVING settled there in
1860. Mr.. Marshall married Miss
Sadie Parkinson and they have five
boys and five girls, all living.
Mr.. Marshall served as sheriff of
Oneida county in 1866 and came
to Blackfoot in 1907, settling on a
farm at Wapello. He sold the farm
last March and moved to Blackfoot.
Mr.. Marshall says he considers
that when laws are enacted they
are applicable to all alike, and if
a law is effective at all every citizen
is equally amenable to it. He does
not consider that laws are made to
be enforced against some and to be
against others who vio-
late thems He takes the view that
every man should obey the law or
accept punishment for his transgres-
sion, and no ring, clique or condi-
ton of good-fellowship should pro-
tect or excuse one while other Of
tenders bow to the law and take
If elected to the position of sheriff

ADVERTISEMENTS

Our POLITICAL ARENA

Editors note: At a meeting of
the candidates held last week, a reso-
luton was adopted saying they would
economic during this campaign, and
that is right. We commend them
for it Some said it would be econ
omy not to go out over the county
handing cards to everybody on every
lane and farm. They said that for
each candidate to go over the whole
county in a liver to tell people what
office he sought was waste of time
and materials, and they are right in
that. The editor of this paper has
gone over the county many times to
hunt up everybody and to build up
an advertising service for everybody
that would reach all the homes. 1t
enables the candidates to convey
their special messages to practically
all of the people quickly, and at
slight expense. If there is better
way of doing it in this generation
we hope to find it. We think we
have the most effective and the most
economical system there is.

WHY ELECT A MAN
LIKE AIISHIE

James F. Ailshie who has been
repeatedly beaten in the race for gov
ernor and United States senator in
this state, is again asking for peo-
pies votes to place him in the SEN
ate. He is a candidate against a
big capable man who is in most re-
spects the very opposite of Ailshie.
Gooding has always been competent
as Ailshie has been incompetent.
Gooding is one of the master minds
Of the state; Ailshie follower and
a borrower of other mems ideas.
Watch the two men in conventions
where things are happening and big
men pushing big ideas to the front,
and Gooding will be original, fear
less and backing his position with an
array Of well-known facts; Ailshie
will watch the drift of things and
jump into the fray with high-sound-
ing phrases and platitudes. Listen
ing to both of them, practical men

ness and prevent the roads from get
ting into such conditions as now con-
front the public.
II we have $1,000,0o0 invested in
cars, and II three years Is the aver
age length of a cars life, it is high
time we were finding out what de-
stroys the cars SO rapidly and be
making arrangements to have them
last longer. If we invested $1,000
900 in clay and gravel surfaces for
our roads and they were going to
decay at the rate Of one-third each
year, we should be short-sighted If
we did not look for the reason and
apply a remedy to save our invest
ment.
If one stands by the roadsides and
listens while cars go by, he will no.
tice that nearly all of them excepting
the brand new ones, squeak. They
have gone over so many million little
bumps in the roads that they are
literally shaking to death. If every
car had squeakometer to record the
number. of squeaks as it goes over
our country roads and city streets,
some new digits would have to be
added to the alphabet of figures to
record them. If the owner could
sell the squeaks at the rate of six
for a nickle he might be able to
finance the allies and buy sugar for
Great Britain and Ireland.
What we need to remedy most of
the difficulty is to get men to drag
the roads while they are muddy, and
then lock up the road drags when
the mud gets dried up.

PRICE OF THESHINC
SET IN THIS COUNTY
Many Important Sub
jects and PROPOSE
tons Taken Up

Last Tuesday evening a large and
representative crowd of threshermer
and grain owners gathered at the
county court house and after two
hours of careful deliberation agreed
to the following recommendation
We recommend that the thresher-
men of Bingham county charge 6h
cents per bushel for threshing oats;
Z n cents per bushel for barley and
81s cents per bushel for wheat.
Where it is not profitable to thresh
by the bushel ~ per hour may be
charged. The threshermen is to fur
nish one engineer, one separator
man, one Dagger and one water man,
four men in all. The farmer is to
board the crew. All threshermen
to furnish their own coal and two
large canvasses, one to 60 under the
sacks and one under the feeder.
These must be used when necessary.
Set jobs $12 minimum and SIS max
imum. For dry farm threshing the
scale is one cent higher, IN cents
for oats; S1s for barley and az for
wheat.
w. G. Sollenberger acted as chair
man and spoke a few words concern
ing the work to be accomplished by
the meeting and after survey of the
gathering it was decided to appoint
committee Of ten consisting Of five
threshing machine men and five
grain growers who should retire and
work out price schedule for this
season. The following committee was
appointed by the floor:
Ihreshermen-William Delzer of
Taber; G. H. Hodson, Of Blackfoot;
o. P. Jensen, Shelley; T. w. Fineley,
McDonaldville; and P. j. Felsted,
Blackfoot.
Grain men-C. Thompson, River
ton; E. M. Gregg, Englewood; J. H.
Merrill, Thomas; N. c. Shaver,
rockford; Lewis Robbins, Moreland.

BEET SUGAR AND
GOOD ROADS

II $500 is an average cost for the
cars used in Bingham county, people
of the county have a standing invest
ment of $1,0O0,00O in cars.
If $40 is an average loss, direct
and indirect, arising from broken
springs, then the loss on such acct
dents is just about equal to the IL
cense checks taken from the car
owners for building roads.
II the state and county continues
taking $40 each from car owners
annually to be used in building bet
ter roads for their cars, and continue
to furnish holes in the roads and
bumps at the culverts sufficient to
cause each man an additional loss Of
$40 for breaks, people will soon
reach the conclusion that the money
is being taken from them under false
pretenses, and it is up to them to
give serious attention to the matter
OF selecting county commissioners
and road overseers.
Before people go to the polls to
nominate man for commissioner
they will want to know what he in
tends doing If elected. They will
want to know who he is going to
appoint road overseer, and they will
want to know whether this appointee
is going to give them roads or ex-
pense bills. They will want to know
further, whether this commissioner
has the nerve and the determination
to fire road overseer when it ap-
pears that he is the wrong man at
the bat. The would find it agree
able also, to have pledge from the
commissioner that he will resign If
he does not give attention to bust

ers and the people who travel roads.
There were about half dozen
places in the county, where good
sized bridges were needed, and it
was question whether to put in
steel or wood construction. If they
had been building q bridge over
Snake river they would not have
thought of anything but steel, but
all smaller ones had been built of
wood, and If anybody ever consid-
cred steel or computed the relative
