light tor the tax to be again a
part of the laws OF the nation, so
that every man will be taxed in
accordance with his income. He
favored the rural credit system
on a basis that would be helpful
TO the farmers, a man who must
turn his product once a year and
not every 80 days as would a
merchant.
High taxes and high freight
rates came in for q lambasting
from the senator. He said that
the extravaganza on the part of
national, state and county offic-
ials was growing TO be Il pre-
valent American disease. He
attacked the ship subsidy bill,
saying that it benefited the ship
trust and the larger ship owners
to the extent of from $50 to $50
million dollars annually. He
said that his stand against this
measure would doubtless rele-
gate him to the ranks Of the IL
regulars.
Speaking on the danger of a
combine being effected between
the wealth of this country and
the mon who control the political
situation, Senator Borah cited
that two percent controlled 65
percent of the wealth and that
two percent under the conven-
ton system controlled political
nominations, and that when
these forces got together danger
Gus times confronted the people.
Cooperative markets was anoth-
er measure Senator Borah said
he favored.
From the Southeast" Corner.
One-hundred and twenty-five
cars were counted by actual
count parked on Main street dur
ing the speaking.
The senator lived up to his
reputation as an orator. He spoke
in a clear, distinct way and at
times used all his powers as an
orator to drive his points home.
Cottonwood was indeed for
tunate to have Senator Borah to
deliver an address here. Only
two other speeches We're made by
him in Northern Idaho at this
time Grangeville and Craigmont.
Senator Borah, Wednesday
morning, was taken to st. Cert
rude convent by DR.. J. ID. Shin
nick, where he spent more than
an hour inspecting the new
building and comforting with Of
ficials of that institution.
Ninety-nine percent of the
people that heard Sanator Borah
Tuesday were with him and
he was given his greatest ap-
plause when he commenced his
attack on the old convention
system and in favor Of the direct
primary law.
The Borah party departed for
Craigmont Immediately after
lunch in a Packard car, the pro-
perty of Mr.. Borah's friend, S.
Anderson, of Boise. The trip
to and fro from South Idaho was
made over the North and South
highway.
Senator Borah remarked to
the editor that he could see
many improvements in Cotton
wood since his last visit here.
Your streets and especially
your sidewalks appeal to me. One
does not usually find them in
such small towns"
The senator also spent more
than an hour at the Kaufman
public sale mingling among the
farmers. Someone remarked
that after November 7th Borah
was going to auction off dis
carded political machine. Now
there is a chance again for T.
Clark to make a few dollars.
An ex-soldier who accompani-
ed the senator to the Kaufman
sale remarked: Senator we
should have the bonus bill pas
sed." The senator made no reply
to this remark but simply smiled.
Later on the eX-soldier said:
"Well / guess we can live with
out it if we have to-" Senator
Borah voted against the bonus
bill in the senate.
The Cottonwood Commercial
club gave a banquet in honor of
Senator William f. Borah at the
Cottonwood hotel Tuesday even
ing at $50, to members of the
