Among many outstanding features
of capable administration of county
government under republican rule one
of the most conspicuous is road con-

most counties large bonded debts have
been incurred for the purpose of
building highways, which have to be
paid through taxation covering a long
period of years. Shoshone county has

PROTECTION VS.. PRoFITEERINe.
(st. louis Timesl


The Post Dispatch characterizes as
'imbecility" the declaration of Sena-
tors Gooding and Stanfeld that they
would favor a tariff rate of 1000 per
cent on the foreign production cost of
an article if doing so were necessary
to keep the manufacture of the same
commodity from being driven out OF
America.
OF course, that statement was in
tended by the senators to emphasize
their loyalty to American industry
They know such a tariff would not be
needed to insure business at home
But if the Dispatch is really
Mortified at their words, what does it
think of the actual deeds of New York
importers who have been adding more
than 1000 per cent to the cost of their
goods-after production and tariff
charges were paid-before passing the
wares on to the public?
If it is "imbecility" for United tSates
senators to assert themselves as will
ing to do a certain drastic thing in
order to protect American markets.
what is it then when an individual
does the same thing to merely line his
own pockets? The Post Dispatch has
for years harped upon the "robber re-
publican tariff" which it visioned as
taking money from the people. al
though republican tariff laws invari-
ably in actual operation bring about
price reduction. The Dispatch,
however. has never in all its long ca
reer of misrepresentation expressed

people under the cloak of democratic

nance Of old ones. All new work has
been done in conjunction with the
state and in accordance with state
specifications, and as rapidly as COM
pleted the cost of maintenance is
transferred to the state Plans have
been formulated by which the few
sections of the main highway across
the county which do not conform to
state specifications will be changed
and new bridges constructed in ac-
cordance with state regulations. When
these are accomplished the entire
highway from Lookout pass to the
Kootenai county line will become
state road and the cost of mainte-
nance will be taken over by the state
of Idaho When this is accomplished,
which will probably be next year, the
county will then be in position to di-
vert the entire current road fund to
the extension and improvements of
other roads having been relieved of
all expense in connection with the
main road across the county.
Thus the republican commissioners
during the past four years have car

BURTON TELLS BRITISH THEY
MUST PAY THEIR DEBTS.

Congressman Burton of Ohio is Civ
ing the British a taste of their own
medicine in discussing in London the
allied debts to America. American
audiences have been forced to listen
to scores of Britons who have come
over here to tell us why the debts
should be RENTED Now Mr. Burton
tells the participants in a British ban
quet why they should be paid in full.
He directs attention to three consid-
erations; first, that debts between ma
lions have a certain degree of sancti-
ty that should not be violated; sec
ond, that the sums loaned by the
United States were obtained by bond
sales to the American people and
were not granted from an overlooking
treasury; and. third. that a large part
of the loans were made after the war
and were for rehabilitation and the
creation of new enterprises rather
than for the prosecution of the war in
a time of great emergency" He re-
minded his hearers that taxation in
the United States is quite as heavy if
not heavier, than in the debtor coun-
tries and that Americans had no as
surance that if the debts were can
celled the money would not be used !
for the expansion of military and |
naval establishments and the creation |
Of threat of future wars. Mr. Bur

election in 1924. and says: when he
can go to the electorate and make his
appeal in person he can be elected.
His chances are greatly lessened, if
not foreclosed in a convention" The
inference is that Senator Borah. in
taking up this primary fight, is actu-
ated by selfish interest that he fears
defeat without the primary. This we
believe is unjust to the Idaho senator,
and indicates that Mr. Lowery has
failed to appreciate the dominant ele-
ment in his character. which is his to-
tai disregard Of his personal political
fortunes in taking a position on pub
lie questions. We do not believe that
the senatorial election. in which it is
assumed that Senator Borah will be a
candidate. has anything to do with his
action at this time. 1t is simply his
zeal for a system which he has con-
sstently advocated for many years,
and which we believe has led him into
an untenable position with respect to
his relation to the republican party in
