SHEEPMEN FACE
RUIN DEMOCRATS
Idaho Flockmaster Says
Present Policy Is
Disastrous

Sheepmen of the intermountain
west practically will be forced out
of business if the Democrats win at
the next election, according to
George Flynn, large sheep owner of
Rupert, in an interview given out in
Salt Lake. The free trade policy of
the Democrats has played havoc with
the sheepmen by allowing Australian
and New Zealand wool and mutton
to be thrown on the American mar
ket at cheaper prices than the Ameri-
can sheepman can produce them, Mr..
Flynn stated.
1.-THE sheepmen of the intermoun-
tain west have gone through two
very severe winters and have lost
millions of dollars" Mr.. Flynn stat
ed. 1--WE are hay feeders in Idaho,
and the price of hay, SIS to $40 per
ton-for the past three years has
been almost prohibitive. The sheep
men will no longer be able to feed
hay; they must winter it out. The
sheep supply of the United States
is only about SO per cent of what is
was three years ago and another
Democratic administration will ruin
us. We will have to cut our herds
40 to so per cent.
'"There is no market for the wool.
The factories, on account of the
high price of labor, are shutting
down and are not buying any wool.
The railroad men have been raised
$500, 900, 900 in their wages and the
public will have to pay for it. Liv-
ing will jump as result.
England has been collecting wool
from Australia and New Zealand for
the past four years and is dumping
millions of pounds on the American
market, together with 100000
pounds of frozen meat. Quotations
on the English market two days ago
were $1.75 to 80 cents for clean
wool, as compared to American quo
tations of 62 to 35 cents for dirt
wool. This would not be so bad II
there was market for our wool,
but the Australian wool is of fin
err fiber and more easily marketed
than the American wool. Then they
can produce it cheaper over there.
'If we are to have more of the
free trade policy of the Democratic
administration many sheepmen will
be compelled to turn to other pur-
suits"

An Overturned Man
Up in Bonneville county lives a
man who had an ambition to be the
sheriff of his county, and one day the
Salt Lake office of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company received letter
from him, asking their permission to
run for sheriff. He was not in their
employ; they did not own him and
he was a free man, but he did not
know it. He evidently had formed
the habit of thinking that this in
stitution situated in another state
was the governing power in Bonnie
Vile county, Idaho. The Southern
Pacific dominated politics in Cali
fornia, but if any firm or corpora
ton is trying to dominate the politics
of Idaho it is time to get their num-
Der.
