and carefully Bobby climbed down the

ESPOUSE CAUSE
Local Candidate For State Senator
Believes State Should Establish
Manufacturing industries

Voicing dissatisfaction over present
economic conditions. county candi-
dates OF the sO-called independent
party met at Bull. September IL, at
political rally, at which time need
was expressed by county manager o.
C. Hall, for a newspaper which would
advocate the principles OF the party,
as a means of education. He stated
that $4,000 or $4,000 was needed
for the purpose and that the cam
paign to raise the fund was already
on.
Mr.. Hall then introduced Mr. Aman
OF Filler, candidate of the party for
state senator According to the Bull
Herald, Mr.. Aman said. in his travels
about the county he had found only
one man who was satisfied; he said
everybody else was dissatisfied.
Among the farmers this dissatisfac-
tlon was based on the allegation that
few If any were making expenses on
their farms, Notwithstanding phenom
inal yields. He said a poll of zoe
farms In Twin Falls county disclosed
that it costs s1.91 bushel to raise
wheat, and that farmers were not
getting cost out of their crops. Dis
satisfaction among the workers, he
said, was due to the fact that every
thing when II reached the consumer
was absurdly high in price. He said
there was at least IS profit between
the wheat producer and the purchas-
er OF a barrel of flour. and asked his
hearers who got IL. He urged the es-
tablishment of one state flour mill
and one state sugar factory in order
TO gather data upon which TO base a
proper price for the products OF
other mills. He said the nonparti-
sans were trying to head off a revoiu-
ton by going about getting reforms
in a peaceful and lawful way. He
said the Cox-Harding fight was a
sham battle and that there was no
difference between. republicans and
democrats.
