line. Also during July from Mexico
came 1.sO2,s26 pounds of zinc while
164.s55 pounds came from Canada.
Wen, what are we going to do
about it? Governor Gooding told the
audience at Kellogg last Saturday
evening what he would do about it if
elected to represent Idaho in the SEN
ate. He would do everything in his
power to secure the enactment of
tariff law that would protect not only
the lead and zinc and other products
of the west but the great manufact-
uring enterprises of the country which
provide the best market for raw ma
terials; these should also be fostered
by ample protection.
What did Senator Nugent tell you
about the tariff? Nothing, but the
platform upon which he stands reaf-
firms the policy of free trade for
which the democratic party has al
ways stood.

for the addition of two justices to the
supreme bench and also authorizing
the election of two provisional JUS
tees to serve in the event that the
amendment is adopted In previous
elections many voters have failed to
express themselves on the amend
ments submitted, although they mean
changes in the fundamental law
and therefore involved questions
of the highest Importance to every
citizen of the state This should not
be the case this year and particularly
it is urged that voters express them
selves on the amendment increasing
the number of supreme justices. No
one knows when he will become in
volved in a law suit that will go to
the supreme court and certainly he
should be interested in providing for
a decision without delay It is not
question of relieving the supreme
court of work: rather it is a matter OF
obtaining speedy justice for litigants.

OF DAVIS SEEMS
ASSURED.

While the republicans of Shoshone
county would have been delighted to
have Governor Davis come and ad-
dress the voters in this district they
fully realize that he will accomplish
more for his own candidacy and for
the republican party in general by de-
voting his limited time to campaign
ing elsewhere. 1t was for that reason
that the governor cut Shoshone coun-
ty out of his itinerary although if he
had acted upon his personal feelings
he would have come here TO greet his
many old friends if for no other rea-
son.
The more the people investigate the
administration of Governor Davis
the more they are convinced that it is
one of the best the state has ever had.
and possibly the best His opponents
of course are centering their attack
upon the commission form of govern
ment for which the governor stands
sponsor, but so successful has been
the system that the assaults upon it
simply prove its value and convince
the thinking people of Idaho that it is
founded upon sound principles of eff
ficiency and economy
The election of Governor Davis has
now been made doubly sure by the
refusal of both Walters and Fairchild
democratic and nonpartisan league
candidates for governor. respectively
to withdraw, thus dividing the vote of
the opposition. Governor Davis will
have the full support of the republic
cans and also the support of many
democrats who are Disguised by the
debauchery of their own party on
account of the combination made by
it's leaders with the nonpartisan lea
que.
Aside from the support they would |
naturally give Governor Davis as an
of his administration, the |
people of Shoshone county take spe-
cial pride in the republican record |
during the past two years because
three men from this county have
taken a conspicuous part in making
t. these are William J. Hall, com
missioner of public works; Robert o.
Jones, secretary of state and commits
sioner of law enforcement; and Law
renee E. Worsten member of the in
lustrial accident board. These men

only national organization that is rep
resentative of all branches of the min
ing industry and the coming session
will take action upon numerous prob
lens which now confront the indus
try with the view to finding practical
solutions. Some of these will involve
legislation by congress and special
bills will be prepared and urged for
passage. Others will require cooper

is expected can be brought about
through conference. AS a means of

the various subjects. the convention
viii be divided into nine general divi-
sions. namely: Industrial, legislation.
Standardization. taxation. gold prob
lem. war minerals, petroleum, coal,
notation and schools of mines and
metallurgy
Perhaps the most important divi-
sion will be that dealing with taxa
ton. Costly experience has demon
strated that the existing excess pro-
fits tax law is unavoidable, unfair and
destructive of business. and the min
ing congress will endeavor to present
to the next session of congress a re-
vision of the present cumbersome and
unjust law. A committee is now
working on this bill and its report will
form the basis of action. The con-
ference will also consider state tax
laws, many of which are now confus-
ing and burdensome.
Another important conference will
consider tariff legislation in connec-
ton with the product of the mines;
of national and state min
ing laws; revision of the federal min
ing laws; blue sky laws and employ
ers' liability laws.
The unsettled industrial condition
throughout the country, the high
costs of all material and supplies that
enter into mining operations. high
wages and labor disturbances, ex-
cessive federal taxes, increased
freight rates and other obstructing in
fluences have combined to place a
heavy burden upon operators and to
mining investments. 1t is
believed that the coming meeting in

QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE AN
sWERED BY EVERY VOTER.

Those who heard Senator Nugents
speech here week ago will recall his
labored attempt to convince his hear
ers that the six votes given the Brit
ism empire in the assembly of the lea
que of nations as against one given
the United States would be of no dis
advantage to our country The SEN
ator's argument was nothing less
than a direct reflection upon the in
telligence OF his audience Even
granting that his hearers were as ig-
norant of the provisions of the cove
nant as Senator Nugent assumed they
were, it must be evident to the most
obtuse mind that the six votes are an
advantage to England, otherwise she
would not have demanded them: and
if they are an advantage to England,
then it must be conceded that they
are a disadvantage to the United
states which has but one vote But
let us see what Senator Lodge says
about this representation in the lea
que council at the ratio of six votes (
held by Great Britain to one held by |
the United States. Certainly the /
opinion of the Massachusetts senator,
who has occupied seat in the senate
for twenty eight years. should carry
some weight as against that OF the
junior senator from Idaho. Address

WEST MUST HAVE ADEQUATE
TARIFF PROTECTION.

As a practical business man intim-
ately associated with industrial en-
terprise in the west Frank r. Good
ing, republican candidate for United
States senator knows that the west
must have a protective tariff, and he
is placing much stress upon that fact
in his campaign throughout the state
He rightly regards the tariff as an is
sue of first Importance. and he makes
il the subject of discussion in all his
speeches. Idaho is now the victim of
competition with foreign products I'M
der the present democratic free trade
law. and this competition will of
course become more acute as the
countries of Europe approach normal
industrial conditions At this time the
market for raw products of the west
is being destroyed by importations of
wool, mutton and beef from Argen-
tina and Australia, wheat from Can
ada, while the lead and zinc miners
are receiving a touch of free trade
competition through the importation
Of lead and zinc from the surplus
stocks of England, while Germany has
further cut the price of lead in the
hope of finding a market in the Unit
ed States
But it is not the European lead and |

HARDING TELLS WHY HE VOTED
FOR WAR.

In the course of a speech recently
at Wheeling w. Va, Senator Harding
said that the United States did not
go to war to make the world safe for
democracy" and that 1--WE did not go
to war even for humanity's sake"
The New York World makes these
statements the subject of an editorial
in which an effort is made to make it
appear that such sentiments coming
from Senator Harding degrade the
nation;" that the republican candi-
date shows himself wholly lacking in
appreciation of the exalted spirit
that actuated our country in enter
ing the war and which inspired our
soldiers in facing death on the bat
uehelds of France. The Lewiston
Tribune gives the World editorial the
place of honor on its own editorial
page for the purpose of impressing
Idaho voters with the selfish if not
sordid character of the republican
candidate for president as portrayed
10y the most powerful supporter of
and the democratic candi-
date for president who is pledged to
its perpetuation. But why should any
intelligent voter accept this scurril-
pus misrepresentation of the repubh-
'an candidate? Senator Harding /
delivered a speech in the senate on
April T. 1917, on that memorable oc-
'asion when the resolution declaring
var against Germany was under con-
alteration. and he told then in Lam
yuage that today stirs the patriotic
american spirit why he would vote
or the adoption of the resolution.

they now propose to carry the prole-

Already the advance guard is here
