Financial Consideration.

Significance was attached to the
Presidents statement that one reason
for taking over the roads was the
financial consideration, having in view
the problems of maintenance and nee
essary expansion facing the roads. The
next thing now. in the opinion of COM
mitteemen, will be to learn from the
railroads whether the terms of the bill
bfomise to carry out the Presidents
assurances.
II is hardly expected that the ship
pers. who are in evidence whenever
questions of rates are up. or the labor
men will find IL necessary to come be-
fore the committee. Those questions
II is said, are rather within the baili-
wick of the director general and the
government agencies.
Some other sections of the bill are
so technical in their wording and APP
parent application that it will be nee
essary. it is said. for the Interstate
Commerce Commission fully to explain
their bearing to Iaymen.

glad to see Gooding and Borah repre-
senting Idaho in the senate, and did
what it could during the past winter
to show the press Of the state some
of the substantial reasons why Good
ing should be brought into the race
and elected. This was met by favor
able comment from a large number
of the thinking editors of the state,
and brought forth practically no OPP
position.
Some of the reasons We have cited
for electing Gooding are that he Is
a practical man in the common walks
of life who accomplishes vastly more
than most men do. He knows in
detail and in a general way how to
conduct almost any branch Of live
stock business, and agriculture, and
understands so many of the practical
problems of coal mining, transporta-
ton, and commerce, is a constructive
statesman, knows the departments
and channels thru which things are
done at Washington and in the large
arteries of commerce.; these things,
coupled with his great energy and
courage make him an ideal character
to accomplish things for his state.
He is one of the men who for years
combated the Western Federation OF
Miners and the element that now
constitutes the Industrial Workers
Of the World, commonly called the
IL. w. w., of which Bill Haywood is
the head. Gooding did his best to
have Haywood punished for the as
sassination of Steunenberg because
1t was done under his directions.
Gooding is one of the men who ap-
preciates the great national meance
that now confronts the American
people in all the multitudinous kinds
of German propaganda; realizes the
great importance of making prepare
lions for peace to avert the disasters
that may come OF trade wars In
which we may be caught as UMPIRE
pared as we were year and hall
/ ago when we entered the military
struggle, and will be one Of the
powers in the senate to foresee and
avert such things by legislation that
will provide employment in nation
wide activities to employ the millions
in the returning armies and the i'm
migrants from abroad.
Building a great merchant marine
to carry the worlds commerce, build
ing vast system of good roads to
carry out domestic commerce, re-
claiming arid lands and draining
swamp lands, placing our natural re-
sources such as water power, timber,
coal, oil, etc., and the great public
utilities under public control-these
are some of the things that men OF
the Borah and Gooding character will
take care of in the senate.
| Contrast with them, some of the

RYE FROM AROO

T. e. Price, a former resident Of
Blackfoot, but now Of Arco, sent this
office samples Of rye which he raised
on his dry farm seventeen miles
southwest of Arco.
The heads were from four to five
inches long and carried four rows
of grains, each row having about
fifteen kernels we'll developed.
Notwithstanding all the discour-
aging reports that come from various
localities due to rodents, late sowing,
shallow blowing, too much or too
little stirring or dragging or rolling
of the land, there keeps coming to
light, proof that grain will grow on
the dry lands where the work was
done at the right time to give ma
ture chance. Dry farmers should
not be discouraged, but there is need
tt sturdy methods and times for do
ing the work.

FRANK GOODINK An.
NOUNCES FOR U. 8. SENATE

BOISE, July 31.-Frank r. Good
ing, who will enter the Republican
primary as a candidate for short
term United States senator, stands
squarely on the Republican plat
form recently adopted by the state
platform convention held in this city.
He particularly favors the power
plank.
In a statement regarding the plat
form Mr.. Gooding said:
II consider it one of the best plat
forms ever adopted by the Republic
cans of Idaho. l am especially we'll
pleased with the plank on the power
question. ! have given the develop
ment Of our power serious considera-
ton. l find that the power COM
panies, for some time past, have
failed to make any new development
whatsoever. The state has caught
up with all. present power develop
ment, and much more could be used
to good advantage. BY an order of
the public utilities commission in the
spring the power load for heating
purposes was withdrawn from the
people in order to meet the demands
for power for pumping water for ir-
rigation, and even with this it is
said that some parts of the state have
suffered from lack of sufficient power
for pumping.
1.-THE people of Idaho have given
the power companies an absolute
monopoly under our present laws. It
is now impossible for any man to ex-
ercise the right to develop water
power under present conditions.
Idaho people have the right to de-
mand that natural resources be de-
veloped and / am satisfied that they
will see to it that they are developed.
But what the outcome may be be-
tween the people and the power
company all may rest assured that
Idaho is not going to cripple any
industry by legislation. 1t has al
ways been generous and fair toward
invested capital. ! have lived here
since boyhood and never have / seen
disposition to confiscate anybody
property, or to be unfair. The state
has been generous to fault in its
dealings with capital.
"Of course l realize this is not the
time for the power company to make
costly extensions; but the trouble is
that it showed no disposition to make
extensions and improvement when ii
was the proper time"

Spring crops we're a month late

Candidates usually announce early in
July, and they will announce early
in August this year. Only few of
the courageous fellows have an

ical cards which we usually print on
page four, are listed the men who
use the most modern means Of tell

in the card they say what office they
wish to fill. Only six are announcing
for state office, and only two for
county offices, James Christensen for
commissioner and A. H. Simmons for
sheriff. The others are all waiting
for something or consider that they

THIRD LOAN is FOR
THREE BILLIONS

April 6, 1917, the United States en-
tered the war against the Central
powers. On April 9th of this year
the government will start the third
Liberty Loan, the campaign extend
ing until May 9Th. Each state has
been allowed to fix the specific dates
for its own drive" and in Colorado
this has been set for from April 10th
to 23d.
Our troops have at last met the
German allies in force on the French
front, with the result that many OF
them will soon be killed. wounded or
captured, but We believe that the
only effect of such casualties and loss
es will be to spur the American peo-
pie to greater efforts and sacrifices
This baptism of blood was perhaps
needed to arouse our people fully to
the fact that we are really at war
Mark Twain once said that "all rev
olutions must commence in blood
however they end" and this is as
true of this war as OF other ones. for
this is essentially a revolution Of the
world against militarism.
The third loan VIII be for $1,000
100000, with interest at Ia per
cent. and all oversubscriptions viii be
accepted. These bonds will be non
negotiable.
We believe that the third Liberty
Loan will in its overwhelming amount
of subscriptions go far toward con
vincing the world that this is no
rich mans war" so far as America
is concerned, but that all. rich and
poor alike, in this country are sin
cerely doing their part to make the
world safe for democracy and liberty
