REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC
TARIFFS COMPARED.

The crying need of the country to-
day is relief from the excessive fed
eral taxes imposed by a democratic
congress. They are today the most
serious obstacle in the way of bust
ness expansion, and the only relief
from them will be found in the cleo
ton of a republican president and a
republican congress. This does not
mean that all excise laws will be re-
pealed. for the enormous war debt
must be paid and the people must in
a great measure pay it by direct tax
alton; but it does mean that with the
republicans in power the tax laws
will be revised on a fair and equit-
able basis to the end that the burden
will be distributed in a manner that
all will bear a share and business and
industrial enterprise will not be rob
bed of its legitimate profit There is
one source of revenue which will be
adopted by the republicans and which
will result in a substantial reduction
OF the amount now raised by direct
taxation The tariff law will be re-
vised in a manner that will not only |
encourage d lone site enterpris e
through protective duties. but will in
sure a large revenue to meet the ex-
1ense of government. OF course our

AMBASSADOR DAVIS HESlTATES

Ambassador Davis has returned
home from London, apparently for the
purpose of taking the stump in behalf
Of Cox. 1t is reported that he is tenn
porarily deferred by questions of pro-
priety inasmuch as there is no pre-
cedent for such a course on the part
of high diplomat. Mr. Davis should
rot scruple at a mere triffle like that.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET
CLEAN AND CAPABLE.

There is nothing wrong with the re-
publican candidates for county Of
fees. Most of them are now holding
the positions for which they are can
didates for reelection. and the records
they have made constitute the strong
est argument in favor of retaining
them in the positions they have filed
so faithfully and efficiently. Other
candidates on the ticket are men of
long residence in the county whose
private lives inspire confidence that
they will prove faithful and efficient
in public Office. No republican this
year will have an excuse to scratch"
his ticket, for every candidate is de-
serving of his vote and active sup
port This is an eventful year in the
political affairs of our country. After
almost eight years Of democratic rule
in the national government, there is
every evidence that the people, tired
and Disguised with ineficiency ex-
travagance and internationalism
which have characterized the nation
al administration, will turn with an
overwhelming majority on November
, to the republican party. The same
argument that impels the voter to

ct should be equally effective in lin
ing him up for the state and county
republican tickets. Republicanism !
stands for good government from the
nation down to the county units. Sue |

Unless there is loyal adherence to the

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE WILSON
CAMPAIGN FUND.

No protest was heard from Govern
or Cox against campaign contribu-
tions in 1912 and 1916, and yet 'subse-
quent events have shown that they
were so generous that the donors OBJ
tanned IAN underhold," as Governor
Cox calls il, upon the Wilson admin
istrations which has not been relaxed
down to the present date. Possibly
the knowledge of this deplorable con-
dition accounts for the suspicion pro-
/ fessed by the democratic candidate
regarding republican campaign con-
trbutions. Perhaps Governor Cox
has in mind the contribution of $4,000
by James w. Gerard which is credited
with securing for him the ambassa-
dorship to Germany; or the 100000
given by Henry Morganthau. of New
York, to the Wilson campaign fund
and his appointment as ambassador
to Turkey; or the contribution by
Frederick Penfield of $4,000 who was
made ambassador to Austria; or the
donation of $4,000 by Thomas ID.
Jones' of Chicago. who was offered a
pace on the federal reserve board,
and who was forced to decline
through public protest. Bernard Ba-
ruch, the notorious Wall street
bear" is credited with giving s12,5OO
to the first Wilson campaign fund and
was the dominant factor in the war
Industries board. He was the chief
hnancier in the second Wilson cam
paign, and has since been regarded
as one of the presidents closest ad-
visers. Roger Sullivan, the Chicago
boss, was liberal contributor to the
Wilson campaign and had the sup
port of the president for United
states senator. In view of these and
numerous other contributions to the
Wilson campaign with which Gov
ernor Cox is familiar. it may in fair
ness be admitted that he has some
Justification for suspecting that cam
paign contributors will get IAN under
hold" on the government, but since it
mas been proved conclusively that re-
oublican campaign subscriptions are
limited to $1,000 he should be fair and |
honest enough to admit that so far as
he republican candidate is concern
ed his suspicious are unfounded.

IDAHO MUST ELECT A REPUBLI.
CAN SENATOR.

Republicans of Idaho must bear il
mind that their vote for senator this
year has a far wider significance than
the mere expression of choice of can
didates. The control of the senate is
at stake. The loss of one republican
senator would make the senate a tie
and the loss of two would give the
democrats absolute control. The cleo
ton of Harding seems reasonably GER
tain, but the fun benefit of a republi-
can administration can not be obtain
ed unless the republicans also con-
troll both houses of congress. That is
the point that must ever be kept in
mind by republicans of Idaho. For
tunately, the republicans have nomin-
ated a strong candidate for senator.

paign and inspires confidence in his
ability to represent the state Frank
r. Gooding has practically spent his

ests, its great industrial enterprises,

fare of all the people Mr.. Gooding
has been successful in business, and
in winning success he has contribut-

and the prosperity of the people. He

cox RElTERATES FALSEHooD
WHEN CONFRONTED BY FACTS.

Although confronted with indisput-
atle evidence that his charge that the
Spokane quota for the republican
campaign fund was $4,000 was false.
and that the original quota was only
$4,000 and that that was subsequent
ly reduced TO $4,000. Governor Cox
refused to accept the statement and
substantially reiterated the charge.
He did it, however not in an open
and courageous manner. but resorted
to the tricks of demagogue in using
the original figures and giving them
an indefinite application for the pur-
pose of misleading his hearers, lead
ing them to believe that his original
statement was true while leaving an
opening through which to back out
The only honorable course for Gov
ernor Cox when confronted with the
facts regarding the Spokane quota
was to admit that he had been misin-
formed. But he chose the other course
and not only repeated the falsehood,
hut deliberately endeavored to cast
odum upon the names of prominent
business men of Spokane who he al
legged We're instrumental in raising
the corruption fund. A half truth
when used for the purpose of decep- /
tion is more reprehensible and cow
ardly than a direct falsehood. and yet .
that is what Governor Cox resorted /
to in attacking Spokane business men.
He said that these men had been in
dicted for profteering, which is true,
but it is equally true that they have
been tried and acquitted of the
charge. and this is the part the dem
ocratic candidate for president pur-
posely omitted Surely a man who ID

THE SILVER LINING.
(Denver MIMI Record

NDVHFVI NIIIIIHB IttCOTuJ
There is long period of prosperity
ahead for the conservative silver min
ing venture. Uncle Sam has purchas-
ed only 100000 ounces of his order
foI 2G0,000,o00 ounces. Even the New
York Times is alive to the bright out
look for silver That newspaper says:
From this it is evident that, with the
United States production out of the
market and the Mexican output below
normal, the worlds needs will again
make for higher prices. It will appear
that the shortage of silver would war
rant the belief that silver's permanent
level will be well above 81 an ounce"

Old line democrats of Idaho find
themselves in the same position they
were two years ago. The only differ
ence is that two years ago the non
partisan league stole the organiza-
ton, while this year the party leaders
have formed a partnership with the
thief. What these respecting
democrats will do remains to be seen,
but it may be accepted as certain that
they will not vote the democratic non
partisan ticket.

didate acceptable to Mr.. Wilson?
President Wilson himself saw nothing
amiss in deserving his post as execu-
tive head of the United States and
going to Europe for six months to
regulate the affairs of old world ma
tons. Surely if there was nothing
wrong in the presidents pilgrimage to
foreign lands to engage in alien poll
tics there can be nothing Objectionable
in the return of one of his subordin-
ates to his own country to engage in
American politics The trouble with
Mr.. Davis is that he is inherently a
gentleman and patriot, with old
fashioned ideas of ethics and public
He finds it exceedingly diff
icult to subject himself to the sordid
standards of the party with which he
S aligned.

resorts to methods of this character
can not deceive the people regarding
his caliber and fitness for the presi-
dency. Surely a man whose chief ar
gument is insult to half the people by
accusing them Of either planning to
buy or being willing TO sell the pres
idency can not win the support of in
telligent patriotic and lf-respecting
people.

turb the cold fact revealed by COM
,aring the revenue derived from i'm
,orts during the seven years of dem
ocratic rule compared with the re-
;eipts during the preceding seven
years under republican revenue laws.
This comparison is strikingly made in
he following from Harvey's Weekly:
Senator Harding's occasional
references to the desirability of
tariff system which will not sur
render the American market to
foreign producers, and which will
not permit prompt destruction of
the industries which have been
developed here during and because
of the war and it's circumstances
invariably provoke a howl of re-
sentiment from the retainers of
the administration, who repeat
the parrot cry that all duties
must be for revenue only, and who
point to the declaration of their
platform, that a low rate of duties
increases the volume of imports
and therefore increases the
amount of revenue. The trouble
with the present Wilsonized tariff
is that it is a tariff not for reve-
nue. but for deficit. It has per-
mitted an immense increase of
imports. but it has at the same
time caused an immense decrease
Of revenue. The seven years of
democratic administration as
compared with the preceding
seven republican years show an
increase in the total value of i'm
ports of about 100 per cent, and
at the same time a decrease in the
total revenue received of more
than 25 per cent. The republican
system secured a revenue of 81
2OO,OOO,OOO on $4,000, OOOO 600 of i'm
ports and the democratic system
secured only 1851, 100000 revenue
from imports of $4,000, 0O0 900.
The latter may be tariff for i'm
ports; the former is certainly
tariff for revenue"

cox SHOULD GET BACK TO REAL
CAMPAIGN ISSUES.

1t will be a relief indeed when pol
itical discussion gets back once more
to the real issues of the campaign. All
of Governor Coxs haranguing on
money has been based on what he
thought somebody else hoped the re-
publicans would be able to collect. Re
publican campaign officials have prov
ed that the actual collections have
been and will be but a fraction of the
total presented by Cox. There let it
rest The league of nations involves
by the American people
thousands of times greater than the
highest figure named in the contribu-
ton controversy Let us consider
or not we care to obligate
ourselves to that extent, and ignore
the miserable little side issue set up
by Candidate Cox. The furore about
funds is simply a smoke
screen generated by Cox to obscure
the dangers of the real issues which
he can not otherwise avoid.

HARDING NO TRANSFORMER"
St. Louis Times)

81 LOUIS IiIuGS)
Whatever may be individual judg-
ment regarding the course a presiden-
tial candidate should take in his
campaign, there will be general COM
mendation of Mr.. Harding's good
sense in refusing to "barnstorm" the
country. The republican nominee
recognizes the responsibility his can
didacy places upon him to make
known to the nation his own and his
party's attitude toward every issue
relating to government. He knows,
too, how far from meeting this re-
sponsibility is the making of speeches
in machine gun fashion during q
headlong chase across the land.
Transforming" is the proper word to
apply to train-end oratory 1t meets
10 problem, discusses no situation, of
ers no solution, impresses nobody
Who sincerely seeks enlightenment. It
'reates furore. but that is not fixing
he noisemaker's size as suitable TO
