WALTERS FLAYS ;2t
ADMINISTRATION
Blames Republicans for
Everything Wrong in
the State s

T. A. Walters, the Democratic can
didate for governor, spoke at the
court house on Wednesday evening
to a well-fllled house. County Chari.
man Charles e. Harris presided and
in introducing the speaker he dwelt
with considerable length on the high
taxes that people are required to
pay now.
Mr.. Walters spent over an hour
talking on high taxes and closed with
a short talk on the league of nations.
He attacked the cabinet form of gov
ernment as being something foisted
upon the people without their wish
or consent and also said that the
state part of the direct primary law
or that part Of It that applies to the
nomination Of state officers, had
been repealed by Republican legis-
lature and Republican govorner
without the consent of the people.
He represented that the people had
long ago demanded a direct primary
law and that they had never changed
their demand or asked for any mod
ification or repeal Of .he law, and
that therefore the repeal or the
amendment that was made and Civ
ing the mthe modified convention
form of nominations was foisting
something upon them that was a
wrong to the people. He did not say
whether the Democrats were using
that part Of the direct primary law
which has been retained nor he did
not say whether the cabinet form Of
government was bringing about any
good results. He merely talked high
taxes and blamed the Republicans
for it. In discussing the league Of
nations the burden of his argument
was that since thirty-seven other ma
tions had signed up it ives all right
for us to sign and 1t put us in a
A"shOA OhpIi oooAuS pOoiIlOu W Stdy
out. He mentioned that the other
company that we have to stay out
with was Russia, the unthinkable
Turks and Mexico. Replying to that
part of the Republican argument
which is against sending our boys to
Europe to settle any other quarrels,
he said that we had already gone
over once to settle a quarrel and
that we could go again.
He attacked the state highway
commission and the state constabul-
ary and said that too much money is
being expended for surveying of state
highways and too little for the NOV
ing Of dirt. He cited case on the
Malad divide on the road leading to
Downey where they had expended
$4,000 for surveying and only $4,000
for moving dirt, but he said the job
Of grading was not yet completed.
He said they had to detour thru the
sagebrush for two miles and a half
and that the detour was better than
the road altho the road was still in
course Of construction. He blamed
the Republican administration for all
Of these things.

End the Controversy.

Another letter has been received
by the EVENING NEWS in regard
TO the fire at Woodbridge Junction on
March 81. and over which n red hot
controversy has been going on be-
tween the Woodbridge and Avenel
iremen. In view of the great short
age of print paper and the necessary
curtailment in space, the EVENING
NEWS feels hat having published
given everybody n fair chance to set
forth their claims. it is time to end
the controversy, at least as far as this
paper is concerned. There is reason
to believe that the public is no longer
interested in the matter II is tired
of the whole business. The EVEN
ING NEWS therefore feels justified
in declining to give any more space
