up demand for such machines IN

But to return to the campaign oil
1892, when my brother and l were
half mad about tariff matters anG
were threatening to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket our mother told us tt
vote the Democratic ticket IL We
wanted to but that we would be
awfully sorry for it If we did. She
said that every generation had to
learn their own lessons but were not
willing to take the experience of the
generation that lived before them
AS girl she had seen people 60 thru
the same struggles, and turn out the
Wings to elect the Democrats in 1856
and there followed the panic of 1857.
Whenever they had made any change
In the tariff, removing a part of the
wall of protection, hard times had
followed. When they had re-instated
the wall Of protective tariff, pros
perity had followed. If we wanted to
see what would follow the election
of the Democrats we would pay
dearly for the experience.
We just about two-thirds believed
her but still we thought possibly
mother was wrong. We had a notion
to take chance. The Democratic
speakers and the agitator-speakers
seemed so sincere we did not believe
they would lie. We did not think that
they could all be mistaken
The Democrats were elected and
for several years after that we
patched up the old moving machine,
not able to buy a new one at any
price. We had to Tess up that mother
knew exactly what she was talking
about when she told us what Demo-
cratic principles would do when en-
acted into legislation. A quarter of
a century has passed and people have
forgotten the lesson. 1t is only the
thoughtful fellows who have remem-
bered it and are now able. to advise
the others. A new generation has
come on that is not willing to learn
from the generation that lived at
that time. They do not quite believe
us when we advise them the same
as did not quite believe mother
when she advised us at that time.
To those of our readers who want
free trade and the other Democratic
principles enacted into legislation we
say go to it,"
They will have several years to re-
pent and right thoroly will they at
tend to the repentance.

CONFESSION By a.
AN EDITOR.
(BY BYRD TREGOl

Twenty-eight years ago this fall
Grover Cleveland was a candidate for
the presidency. Democrats and agi-
tatorss were holding meetings at
Blackfoot and at the school houses
thru the country telling people to
vote the Democratic ticket for bet
ter times. They told us it was all
bosh about the tariff giving us pro-
lection and that 1t was merely a
means Of bleeding us for the bene-
fit of the manufacturers. They told us
that while we wereypaying $50 apiece
for Mccormick mowers In the United
States they were being sold In Can
ada for less money and were being
shipped to Turkey, Austria and other
Balkan states for even less than they
were sold for in Canada. My brother
and believed what they said and
got pretty sore about it. said that
il that were true there was no justi-
fication on earth for it, that we ought
to be able to buy these things cheaper
than they could anywhere else on
earth because they were manufac-
tured here in America.
The next year l changed my mind.
! visited the Mccormick factory and
learned a great deal. I found that
their principal market was in the
United States; they shipped some
machines abroad; they unloaded
their surplus in foreign countries.
II their orders. only kept their fac
tory running ten months in year
and they could keep their forces
together andt keep on operating the
other two months by shipping the
products abroad and selling it for
anything they could get, they chose
to do that even tho they sold some
of the machines at loss. 1t enabled
them to keep their organization to-
gether and their workers employed.
1t was better than to lay off. the
workers for those two months and
let their forces get scattered and then
spend lot of time and money get
ting the organization together again.

featuring for their home trade. BY

lost some Of the money in the en-.
dowment funds by paying more than
! the bonds were worth, but in order
to do so, turned down applications
for farm loans. The facts are that
the Department of Public Invest
ments paid $459,000 for 100000
worth of Government bonds, using
funds for which there was no de-
mand. These bonds were bought
through the Hanover National Bank
of New York on the open market.
BY the purchase we Immediately
added to the endowment funds SAL
600, the difference between what we
paid and the face of the bonds. and
had $5O0,O00 drawing interest in
stead of $4,000 idle.
The first purchase was made in
November, 1919. At that time there
was $57S,O0O awaiting investment,
and applications for farm loans and
offering of school bonds, totalled
$4,000. With these idle funds we
bought $2500O0 worth of bonds
took all farm loans applied for and
all school bonds offered, and had
200 still available for loans and
investment. Xxi
In January, 1920, the funds for
investment had increased to $780,
OOO. At that time applications for
farm loans and offerings of school
bonds were less than 100000. We
invested $25O,0OO more in Govern
ment bonds and still had a surplus
of more than $4,000. in the treas
ury above all opportunities for it's
investment. In 1919 the Department
OF Public Investments made farm
loans to the amount of $541,25O. In
1920 farm loans to the amount Of
$56O,O00 have been made. Applica-
tions for 100000 more have been
accepted and loans are now in pro-
cess OF being closed as fast as ap-
praisments can be made and abstracts
OF title examined. Before the close |
of the fiscal year, December LIST, farm
loans for more than 5000, 900 will |
nave been made this year. Every |
application for farm loan that has
been received during this administra-
ZION mas been accepted. No farm loan /
mas been turned down where the Sc
cur1ty was sufficient to justify the
loan. Several farm loans are being
closed every week. Every school bond
that has been offered has been pur-
chased by the Department Of Public
Il
Prior to about April LIST of this
year there was not much demand for
farm loans. The Federal Farm Loan
Board was actively competing for this
business and at rates more attrac-
i've than the State was Offering.
About that time, however, the Fed
raj Farm Loan Board virtually re-
ired from the farm loan business.
We had already invested half mil
ion dollars in bonds. It was q good

The Governors Letter

The Governors Letter
want to thank you for the publ
cation of my letter of October 18th
and for the very fair comment that
preceded it. You have taken a high
position. The public is entitled to
know the truth so that it's interests
may be advanced. Your attitude de-
serves commendation.
In the closing days of the COM
paign statements that would not be
made or believed at any other time,
are being circulated by people who
would be ashamed to be connected
with them under other circumstances
These range from misleading half
truths to the widest falsehoods.
Some time ago l was visited by
committee frCm over in the Payette
country. They wanted to see the
Commissioner of Public Works re-
garding construction in their dis
trict. Commissioner Hall was away.
Mr.. Olson, Director of Highways,
was also away. The committee came
in and said, "We came over to see
the Highway Department We want
to know how much money goes into
the actual building of our road"
I'm other words" said, you want
to know how much goes into engin-
eering and overhead" To which their
spokesman said, Yes" l 'phoned
to the Highway office and had the
bookkeeper bring over the record of
their pIoject. He came, and the books
showed so much money used at
given time, so much money at an
other time, and so much money at
two other times. Members of the COM
mittee had slip of paper they had
received from their highway officials,
showing the amounts paid out by the
district. As the amounts and dates
were read by the bookkeeper their
spokesman said, eyes. that is true,
and the total is right" swell, I
said, yours Is a. $2O2,500 project,
and you say the engineering is just
about finished. Now, our Highway
records show that you have not quite |
29o in here. What Is the trouble?"
One of them looked at the other and
said, "Who was that guy that said
500 of our money was gomez" And
that is the way that whole lot of
the statements that are being made
get started. Some irresponsible per-
son, or some conscienceless partisan,
just manufactures them.
The State Constabulary is another
Department upon which criticism is
being conferred. A party said to ME
the other day, "Why, l had no idea
that the constabulary force in Idaho
was so large" "How large do you
think 1t is" asked him. He said,
Well, ] heard fellow say the other K
hight that you had two hundred men I
n the cODstabulary." The fellow"
le referred to Is a candidate for a ]
tate office. He knew the statement 1
le was making was not true. Five i
s the greatest number we have ever +
lad in the Consta bulary Department X
t any one time. u
Another story that is bringing tears c
0 the eyes of our opponents is the II
uying Of half a million dollars worth
Liberty Bonds, while the farmers, b
ley say, are suffering for the lack n
cheap money. This is q very sad IL
;ory. They say we have not only a
