TO THE VOTERS OF IDAHO

The LEAGUE OF NATIONS is the
big outstanding issue in this cam
paign.
On this issue l stand on the pla.,
form of the Republican Party adopt,
ed at Chicago and as amplified and
explained in the speech of acceptance
and later addresses by Senator Hard
ing, | am, therefore, against having
the United States enter or agree to
enter any league which would re,
suit in the creation of a super-state
and a loss or surrender of any por>
ton of our freedom or sovereignty
or which would in any way Interfere
with the continuance OF the tradition
al American policies which have
made this Nation great and power
full.
In reaching this stand l have not
shown myself inconsistent with any
previous position taken by me on
this question, for l have but Travelled
the path of perhaps the majority OF
our citizens who were at first inclin,
ed to favor the League, provided ii
were possible to Americanize it with
saving reservations. Study and ex.
perience have shown, however, that
I III CdnUOl Dc anu lldl
our entry therein is no longer to be
thought of as possible, If the present
temper and sentiment of our people
are to control. / freely and unhesi>
tatingly accord to Senator Borah
more than to any other one man, the
credit for preventing this country
from rushing headlong into What
would have undoubtedly proved the
greatest mistake in its history.
1 stand for peace along right lines,
and if elected will support Senator
Harding to the extent of my power
in the development OF plan which
will seek to secure peace through
justice rather than through war or
threat of war; but you may depend
upon me to stand firmly against any
league which would result in the sub
ordination of the United States to
any measure of control by any for,
eign power or combination OF foreign
powers.
On this statement of my position
l solicit your suffrage on this great
issue TO which you cannot be indit>
ferent.
Very respectfully,
F. r. GOODING.

And the operation of all the other
departments would show like in
crease. do not wish to criticise the
former Administration for spending
$3S,000.00. The sum is not excess
i've in comparison with other Coun'
ties of our class. The following Coun,
ties are as near our own as l can
find as to Valuation, etc., and l
give the cost of operation of these:
Lemhi S4S,000.00; Owyhee, SAB
10000; Minidoka 100000; Good
ing $50,000.00. But l do criticise
them for not making sufficient lew
les to operate the County and keep
it on a cash basis after selling S75-
900 worth~of Bonds to put it there,
and resorting to the cheap political
methods of trying to fool the peo~
ple.> In 1917 when the former Ad
ministration made levy of so cents
for Current Expenses they went
their limit. That amount was all the
Statutes permitted them to levy,
They levied all the law allowed them
to levy, and they found~it was no.
sufficient so they used all of the so
cent levy and large part of the
next years levy of 4G cents as
have stated before. The law was,
that Counties with a Valuation or
S5,000,000 or more could only levy
so cents and Counties under $1,000,
900 could levy rs cents. After this
law had been in operation a number
of years it had been proven to the
satisfaction of those who had these
matters in charge that county of
100000 or slightly in excess of
that amount could not run on so
cent levy and keep out of debt. So
the last legislature changed the law
so that Counties with a valuation up
to S7,500,000 could levy rs cents
and those in excess of that valuation
could levy only so cents, and the
old administration knew this fact
when they made their 40 cent levy.
The other Bunk, charging the
Board of letting contracts for four
times more than they could get the
same work done for and alludes par,

with the Payette Enterprise. The
loss of this County printing is what
hurts Cloud. If you want to know
something about contract letting l
will tell you one. The old admins
tration installed a heating plant in
the fall of 1917 for $2,O5S.OO, pro
cured from U. S. Heating & Plumb
ing Co. of Ontario, Oregon. There
was no one in Payette capable OF
handling such large contract or
was it because the dealers in this
commodity were all Republicans. AT
any rate they placed the contract in
Ontario. The first winter-winter of
'17-'1S, it went to pieces and during
the summer and fall of 1918 they
had it patched up by the U. S.
Plumbing and Heating Co. OF On>
tario, Oregon, at an expense OF
$4,000. And by the way, this is one
of the bills that was laid on the table
for the incoming Board to pay. The
winter of 1919 the blooming thing
collapsed again. By sheer good luck
and the application of several quarts
of cement at $1,000 per, we succeed,
ed in getting through the winter
with it. This Fall we have had to
dismantle the entire plant, install 8
new sections, change pipes and the
entire system at cost of some $500
or $500. What do you think of this
for contract letting?
Then he endeavors to make you
believe that the 60 cent levy on the
increased Valuation is no reduction
from the rs cent levy on the Yalua,
ton in 1919. Let's see.

costly than under normal conditions
placed the current expense levy at
SO cents on each 500 valuation.
this if all collected would raise ap-
proximately $4,000.
In January when the first half of
the taxes we're due all outstanding
warrants were paid and the county
started in on the next years bust
ness with a balance. BY strict econ
omy and the fact that there were
more fees coming into the new
county than anticipated not a SIN
gle warrant of the 1918 series was
registered. In September of 1918
when the county board met to make
the levies reduction of 20 per
cent was made in the current ex-
pense fund and in reality a greater
cut could have been made as the
county was practically year ahead
with its finances. So in 1919 when
tbe present administration took
charge Payette County was not
only on a cash basis but had ample
funds to go through the entire year
of 1919 without registering single
warrant. Does this look like a de-
ficit?
The fact is that when the pres
ent board of county commissioners
took office they almost at once
started out to letting contracts for
four times more than they could
get the same work done for and one
of these contracts went to the Pay
cite Enterprise and in face of this
that paper would not be doing its
duty" if it did not make some at
tempt to justify the board for max
ing a 75c levy with-'a 10 per cent
raise in assessment which doubled
the county current expense fund and
raised the total state and county
levies from SLAP to $500.
To give some idea of the gross ex-
penditures of the present county adj
ministration $530,5S2.14 was paid
out of all county funds or approx
mately $4,000 for every voter in
Payette County,
in answering the above | will
take the subjects Up one at time
and analyze them.
First-In fact thu report of the
present County Auditor issuc'i Jan.
8, 1920, shows that on Jaa. 18th
1919 when the old administration
ended its term there was $6,b56.3S
left in the Current Expense Fund
aud the last half of the 1918 unccl-
lected taxes to be paid in between
that time and June 80, 1879 AS
far as it goes the above statement
is correct. But that we may get at
the real facts, the following is a
copy. of Examiners Report with fl
nancial information pertaining to
Fiscal year 1918.
1 wish to state for the informa
ton of the public, That when we
speak of the LIST Half and End Half
of Taxes that fully 60 per cent of
all Taxes are paid the list Half and
only 40 per cent the last or End
Half as some people pay their entire

BASEBALL BOYS EAGER FOR CAME
 WITH FAIRBANKS

The baseball players of Nenana are eager to cross bats with the Fairbanks aggregation of players, according to Manager Joe Fischer, who announced at the meeting of the Nenana Commercial club last night that negotiations are now in progress for a series of games be- tween the two teams.
 The local team has received a formal invitation to play in Fair banks on the fifth of July, and the Fairbanksans have virtually agreed to come to Nenana for a game on the Fourth, which falls on Sunday. At the request of the club, how ever, Mir. Fischer stated that he would submit a counter proposal to Manager Beam, offering to go to Fairbanks for the Fourth, if the Fairbanksans would come to Nenana on the day following. Failing in this, an effort will be made to in- duce the Fairbanksans to come to Nenana on the evening of the third for series of three games, ending on the afternoon of the Fourth, with the assurance that the Nenana team will go back with the Beam players for a game or more on the fifth.
 MT. Fischer is of the opinion that the local players now have a strong CT lineup than that of last season,

COAST LONCSHOREMEN
 MAY JOIN BIG UNION

It is reported at ketchikan that a representative of the International association has been there looking over the situation with a view to establishing branch of that union there. The l. l.. A. claims jurisdiction over all Pacific coast waters and it has branch in Prince Rupert and charter in Ju- neau.
 There are a number of l. L. \. men in Ketchikan who are anxious ito see a branch established there in order that the work and wages will be systematized to conform with the II. L. A. agreements which cover Oregon, Washington. and British Columbia.
 The International Longshoremen's association is affiliated with the Am erican Federation of Labor and is one of the strongest organizations ! in America, and branch in ketchi-
 kan would eliminate strife between the employers and employees. because both would be forced to live up to the agreements which are made be-
 tween the shipping concerns and the international officials.

SEVENTH VICTIM
 DIES TUESDAY
DEATH TAKES LAST MEMBER OF FATAL LUNCHEON PARTY IN MEMPHIS.

Memphis Feb. 10.-The seventh and last victim of the poison ripe olives served at a woman's club meeting on last Thursday is dead. Mrs. Eugene Ivy, whose husband and 10 year old son died Saturday and Sunday, died early this morning. That she lived longer than any of the others who ate the olives is attributed to the fact that she took dose of calomel short ly after the luncheon Thursday,
 She will be buried in grave along side the four which contain her hus- band, son, brother and sister-in-law, all victims of the tragedy.

DEPLETION OF OUR
 FOREST SUPPLIES

The species of timber which form the bulk of our export trade, except Duglas fir, are those of which the suplies are most depleted. Thus, southern yellow pine forms half of cur entire export trade, and the avail- able supply is only 222 billion feet. At the present annual cut of sawlog size timber of nearly IT billion board feet there remains only about IA years cut of the original supplies.
 That these figures are not mere theoretical calculation is proved by an official statement recently issued by the Southern Pine Association regard. ing the life of the southern pine in- dustry. The Southern iPne Associa- tion estimates that 81.6 per cent of the mills will cut out their suplies in 5 years, 95.3 per cent in 10 years and 99 per cent in 15 years.
