G00D|NG AND NUCENT ARE
CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES

Frank R. Gooding won the repub-
lican nomination for short term Uni
ted States senator over Judge Ailshie,
of Occur d'Alene, with a large ma
jority, carrying southern Idaho by
about two votes to Ailshie's one, and
carrying Latah county.
John F. Nugent, incumbent, who
was appointed by Governor Alexander
to fill the unexpired term of the late
Senator Brady, defeated ex-governor
Hawley for the democratic nomina-
tion. In the election in November
| Nugent and Gooding will be the con-
testants.
On the face of present returns it
looks like Samuels is the democratic
nominee for governor. He was in
dorsed by the nonpartizan league, or
rather named by the league as it's
candidate for the democratic nomina-
tion for governor and filed as demo-
crat. The split between Van Sicklin
and Martin, the latter being indorsed
and backed by 'the state house bunch"
gave the nomination to Samuels.
Martin is a poor third in the race,
,, being badly beaten by Van Sicklin.

ial telegram from Boise gives the

CLAIMS BRIBERY
TALK WAS JUST JOKE
Walter Steffen Is Main Witness
r in Alleged Traction Graft
Case.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Alderman Wsite1
Steffen, formerly assistant U. 5. dis
trict attorney, is the witness upon
whom States Attorney Hoync is rely
ing to clinch his charges that the trus-
tee traction ordinance was passed by
bribery and corruption. Mr.. Steffen
will tell his story to the grand jury
today.
Since Hoyne started his investiga-
ton, several aldermen. It Is asserted,
have attempted to explain the bribery
talk" in the city council chambers as
a joke on the younger members of the
body. But in talking in the hearing
of Alderman Steffen, it is reported,
they were talking to the wrong man.
Alderman Steffen Is named as VIC
tim Of the jokers, said Mr.. Hoyne
today. "The grating gang, their
friends and supporters must fear
nightly what Steffen can tell the
grand jury, since they seek to discredit
his testimony in advance.
1T will be hard to persuade the pub
lie that Steffen, who served for years
as assistant United States district at
torney, investigating crime and other
graft, Is green nut. He is serving
his second term in the city council.
This traction ordinance was rushed
through with insufficient consideration
to passage. 1t was passed by bribery
and corruption and the investigation
will continue despite silly yarns and
idle bluffs"
Mr.. Steffen said today: "Mr. Hoyne
Is right, They never fooled me for a
minute with their funny talk. AS
am going before the grand jury do
not care to make an extended state
ment."
Twelve other aldermen, have been
by the grand jury today.

COMB COUNTRY
FOR TAXDODCERS
Chairman Kitchin and Commit.
tee Favor Drastic and For
Reaching Methods.
CONGRESS ENDS VACATION
Plan to Make Proposed Taxa
tion Upon Liquor at Once
Effective.

Washington, Aug. 19.-When the
house reconvened today the ways and
means committee was still unprepared
to report the $S,000.OU0,0 % revenue bill.
Members OF the committee today ex-
pressed the opinion that two more
weeks may elapse before final of the
bill is completed. They added that
they do not expect it to be reported
next week.
The inability of the committee thus
far to reach an agreement with Secre-
tary McAdoo on proposed excess
profits taxation which Chairman
Kitchin favors. continued to hold up
the bill, they explained, although they
voiced the hope that they would soon
arrive at an understanding with the
treasury department
Chairman Kitchin said today that
the plan of levyirg n tax Of forty per
cent. on all eAcess profits between s
and 20 per cent. and tax of so per
cent. on all excess profits exceeding 20
per cent, was only tentative one, the
committee had submitted to Secretary
McAdoo for his consideration.
Emphatic Announcement.
Mr. Kitchin was emphatic in an
nouncing that it was the purpose of
his committee to recommend the most
drastic and far reaching methods for
combing the country Tor tax dodgers
The committee has approved the re-
quest of Commissioner Roper for q
total appropriation of $25,0OO,O0O with
which to carry out the plan of recov-
ering taxes, aggregsting at least
S1,O00,0O000O from those evading tax
ievies or making false returns.
Another plan Mr. Kitchn and his
colleagues are seriously considering Is
to have proposed taxation upon luXur-
les and liquor, for example, become
effective the instant the revenue bill
Is reported. BY this plan members of
the committee believed, those seeking
to evade such taxation by disposing of
subject to 1t would be pre-
vented from doing SO.
