YEARS OF SERVICE GLORlFlED,
NOT SACRIFICED.

In the midst of the clamor in con
gress demanding bonus for the
world war veterans. much of which
lacks the ring of sincerity. it is graft
flying to occasionally hear a voice that
procIaims the real American attitude
toward the soldiers and defines the
only compensation which should be
considered in estimating the value of
their service. 4 few days ago. while
the bonus bill was under discussion in
the senate, Senator John sharp Will
liams, of Mississippi, made brief
speech, in the course of which he said:
81 did not rise to argue this
(bonus) question. 1 arose in or
der to present my protest against
the assertion that my two boys
and my nephews and the other
boys who served in the army of
their country sacrificed two or
three years of their lives.
Il merely rose to say that they
did not sacrifice them; they glori-
fed them; they sanctfied them in
the eyes of God. or men and of
good women.
who would measure in dollars
the dear love of man for his ma
tive land? When a boy with warm
blood in his veins answers the call
of his country and goes out to
fight for civilization against mill
tary autocracy. | scorn the sug-
gestion that he wasted the num-
Der of days. months or years de-
voted to that purpose.
Il only pray that there may be
an opportunity for you when you
die to die in some cause so worthy
that it may glorify your death and
sanctify it Just as these boys
lives were glorified and sanctified
by the services. and just as in
death their comrades. left behind
them on Flanders fields. were
glOrihed and sanctiied"

and the sham craftsmanship that
would foist this bonus measure upon

Idaho tax reduction is an accomplish
ed fact, upon which the Spokesman.
Review makes the following com.
ment:
while the state is discussing
with more hope than conviction
the outlook for a lower tax levy In
1923. Idaho has methOdically gone
ahead and announced an actual
reduction This was finally
brought about by action of the
state board of equalization, which
fixed an assessed valuation that
will raise the required amount of
revenue on a lower millage. Cred
it, however belongs chiefly to the
last Idaho Legislature. which
made lower taxes possible by re-
ducing expenditures.
"Idaho's record for the last
three years should be an incentive
to the tax-fxng bodies of any
state. county or city government
Since 1919 the Idaho levy has been
steadily reduced, each year show
ing improvement over the preceding
year. In 1919 the levy as express
ed on 800 valuation was rs This
year it is SO. The same period in
Washington has reversed the pro-
cess and while efforts are being
made to insure a reduction next
year good many people are still
combining their efforts to consider
alton of new forms of taxation in
stead of hammering away at re-
duced expenditures as they should
be doing"

Protection and American Valuation
National Republican,

understanding created by the contin-
uance of the thoroughly deceptive and
dishonest foreign valuation system
have given the foes of protection an
opportunity to distort the facts with
a greater degree of success than would
have been possible if a thoroughly re-
publican protective tarix measure had
promptly been put on the statute
books and been given a chance to
work out its own vindication, which
by this time would have been com
plete.
No question is ever settled until it
is settled right In due time the Unit
ed States will have a thoroughly pro-
tective tariX based on American valu-
alton. This can come only through the
republican party since the democrat
ic party is by tradition and principle
opposed to the protective policy. Pro
tectionists must be active in the pres
ent campaign in bringing about the
election of a republican congress and
active within the party all the time in
creating a more general sentiment
among leaders as well as the rank and
file in behalf of protection as advocat
ed by Lincoln, Mckinley and Roose-
welt.

/ The rejection of the American valu-
alton plan in imposing tariffs by the
senate. in which the house has been
compelled to acquiesce through neces-
sity if there is to be a tariff bill this
year. was a substantial victory for the
foes of the protective policy. In all
arguments on the tariff, rates are in
the public mind fixed on the basis of
American valuation. The arguments
of free trade newspapers and politi-
clans are usually based on retail
price. If 20 per cent duty is levied
on cloth. the assertion is made that
this means an increase of 20 per cent
in the retail price of the suit. It
would not seem possible that argu-
ments so dishonest would be deliber-
ately made, but the whole program of
destroying the American producer in
the interest sOf the importer and alien
is of itself so lacking in moral value
that it is not surprising proponents of
such a policy would resort to any ex-
pedient to deceive the public.
A so per cent ad valorem tariff on
set of dishes, a pair of gloves or
statuette is connected in the argu-
ments of the importers and free trad
ers generally, as meaning so per cent
on the price the article would bring In

Republican has recently printed sew

c. c. MOORE WILL MAKE A GOOD
GOVERNOR.

A northern Idaho friend who was
in Pocatello recently CHANGED to meet
Charles c. Moore. republican candi-
date for governor. who was on his way
to Shelley where he opened his cam
paign last Thursday evening The
northern man sized up the political
situation in the southeast and gave his
impression of Mr., Moore in this way:
81 met Governor Moore here
yesterday. He feels confident of
winning. and from all that ! can
see and hear, | do not see how
the democrats have any reason
able ground to hope for success.
notwithstanding adverse condi-
tions which we know exist. Moore
appears to be very strong down in
this country. and from what | can
gather there is good deal OF dis
satisfaction with Alexander among
democrats or course know the
strong democratic tendency to vote
the ticket straight but there will
be a great many of them who will
vote for Moore. My impression is
that Moore will make a good cam
paigner and that he will take well
with the people, and also that he
will make good governor"
The situation as described in the
southeast is not materially different
from that which prevail in the north
1t is already evident that many prom
inent and influential democrats have
no stomach for Alexander and will not
support him. and while they may not
openly participate in the campaign,
they will quietly do what they can to
further the election of Moore This
appears to be the attitude of the
leading democrats throughout the
north. On the other hand, republicans
without exception manifest the great
est satisfaction with the nomination
of Mr.. Moore. He made fine inn
preston here at the convention which
nominated him, and his opening
speech indicates that he will continue
to gain strength as the campaign pro-
crosses In this speech he issued a
direct challenge to Alexander in the /
statement Let us be honest in our |
presentation of the facts and honest /
in our efforts to solve our problems"
Alexander was never known to con-
duct his campaign on that high plane.
and he can not be induced to do so
this time. Mr. Moore knows this and
it is evidently his purpose as he Wis

mask from the face of this political

Farmers Find Season
Generally Better Than

Despite the apparent heavy losses
from potatoes in Canyon county this
year, agricultural conditions are better
than they were last year. in the opin-
ION of the Caldwell Commercial bank,
whose monthly summary of business
conditions in this territory RS just off
the press. Substantiating this state
ment, the monthly letter cites that
prices for most farm products are
good, that the price level is slowly but
certainly advancing and this October's
shipments from Caldwell in car lots
reached 800 cars of farm stuff, the
highest number ever shipped from this
city during amy October of the past.
In 1919, the heyday of farm prosperity,
only 242 cars left Caldwell in October,
and last year but 203 cars were shipped
out.
"The selling of fruit, grain, hay, seed
and other ,seasonable crops" says the
bank statement, "has had favorable
turn to better business and collections.
Indications are that the total gross
income from products of the commun-

With the approach of election, both
Republican and Democratic county
headquarters are bending their best
efforts to carrying Canyon county.
According to political dopsters this
county is the one closest county in
the state. Republicans expect to car
ry it. They place c. c. Moore as first
in the county, with H. F. Samuels,
Progressive candidate for governor
and M. Alexander, Democratic candi-
date, following in that order
Democrats avow the county is theirs,
that Alexander will carry it. Progress
sives, with as effective an organiza-
ton in this county as this new party
has in the state, expect Canyon county
to give Samuels majority And
there you are.
Monday evening before election, Re-
publicans will conclude their cam
paign with an address at the American
theatre by Will Gibson of Mountain
Home. Mr.. Gibson narrowly missed
being the Republican nominee for lieu
tenant-governor. He formerly was
secretary of state in Idaho and is
capable speaker. Republicans have ar
ranged to have the Caldwell municipal.
band out for this final rally. In addi-
ton, special music will be feature of
the program.
Democratic hopes for carrying Cald-
well will be pinned on James H.
Hawley, former governor of Idaho,
who is to speak here Monday evening
at the Huree theatre. These two
meetings will conclude the campaign
for these two parties. If the Progress
sives are to have a speaker on the eve
of election, no announcement has yet

Local Attorney Has
Candidacy Thrust
Upon Him.

What would you do if your name
appeared on the official ballot, cam
didate for public office, when it was
put there without your consent and
when you had no wish in the world
to hold any office?
That is the question that is bother
ing Curtis Hayden, local attorney and
former prosecuting attorney for Can
yon county. Thursday morning, Mr..
Hayden awoke to the realization that
he is a candidate for justice of the
peace in Caldwell, running on the
Democratic ticket He knew that a
primary law had nominated him, was
formally asked for his acceptance and
then ignored that notification, hold
ing the opinion that for his name to
appear on the official ballot, it was
necessary for him to formally accept
the nomination.
Lo and behold, his name is on the
ballot anyway, acceptance or no ac-
ceptance. That is what Mr.. Hayden
discovered Thursday morning when he
saw sample ballot for Caldwell.
Investigating his legal status as a
candidate, Mr.. Hayden discovered that
it is incumbent, according to Idaho
law, for a nominee to register de-
clination to run if he is to be taken
off the ballot.
/ A primary law nominated Mr.. Hay
don. That is, law that made it pos
sible for some "jackass" to vote for
him, is responsible. And about one
vote, in the absence of any opposing
Democratic candidates, seems to have
been enough.
Il do not believe that it is constitu-
tional to compel man to accept a
nomination when he doesn't want it
just because he refuses to waste his
time, stamp and good stationery de-
clining it" Mr.. Hayden remarked
Thursday. Legal steps may be taken
to test this phase of the law, Mr. Hay
don intimated Thursday.
