PEAT BOGS TO BE UTILIZED
Commercial Value of Immense Deposits
In Northwest Germany Has Not
Hitherto Been Realized,

The more or less successful install
lations in northwest Germany for the
utilization of the immense peat boys
that exist there has led to the sug-
gestion In England that the huge bog
of Allen in Ireland may next become
a great center of industry. The Ger
man undertaking has contemplated
the bringing of large part Of the
boys under cultivation, together with
the conversion Of the peat into fuel,
to be employed in the development
of electrical energy for agricultural
purposes, as well as for supplying
light and power to a number of towns
situated within radius of fifty miles.

In process of formation to drain the
ground, and the peat dredged out Is
to be utilized in the way just de-

produced from the peat will furnish
work to the amount of 900 horse
power hours for each ton, and large
quantity of ammonia will be recovered
for use as Washington

You ranchers have been told by
some of it's opponents that the Re
publican party is doing you up, but
let us see what the actual facts in the
case are, The alfalfa weevil illus
trates how the Democratic candidate
saved you money In 1915 when the
alfalfa weevil was first discovered in
a few spots in the state an appropria-
ton of $4,000 was voted to wipe it
out and check it's spread. This was
vetoed by Mr.. Alexander and again in
1917 he vetoed similar appropria-
ton. The result has been that this
terrible pest has spread until it is
costing the farmers of Idaho hun
dreds of thousands of dollars year.
You will remember how when you
tried to ship hay into other states
where there was some prospect of a
fair market, the quarantine bars were
put up against it. You know how
much that cost you, and l want to
tell you that there are farmers in this
state whose efforts to battle that pest
are costing them mighty heavy sum
because it was allowed to spread
when an appropriation of $4,000 was
denied to check it in the beginning.
This is one way in which the Alex
ander administration saved you mon
ey.."
Taking up the cabinet form Of gov
eminent, which has been one of the
principal points of attack by the OPP
position, Mr.. Moore showed that by
consolidating the 40 boards into eight
departments an actual saving had
been made with fewer employees as
compared with the old plan of many
boards with members receiving per
diem and expenses. with the help
of the legislature and the co-opera-
ton of the men who know, II I am
elected governor I will further con-
solidate the departments Of govern
ment so far as possible" said Mr..
Moore.
with a demand for close applica-
ton of officials to duty; words Of
truth on our lips; prayer for wis
dom in our heart; desire for right,
a determination to reduce expenses
and taxes not to cripple and inpover-
ish our institutions, but to advance
education and progress Of all our
functions of state government, to
punish evil and enforce the law, we
go forth to honest victory and ask
your earnest help" said Mr.. Moore
in closing.

Good Times Are in SIGHT

There is an element of hope in the
recent statement of The Wall Street
Journal that this years crops, meas

no less than $4,000, 900, 900 and in all
likelihood considerably more.
Such a staggering sum of money

the erection of new buildings and the
purchase of new machinery means
that the wheels of progress will be-

the general state fund and used for
other purposes. The task of rebuild
ing those institutions and providing
a place to educate our teachers and
another place to care for the veterans
was left to the Republican admins
tration. These items alone amounted
to $114,000. Another instance is
found in the deficiency in the funds
for state institutions. Appropriations
for the asylum at Blackfoot, the state
schools, the penitentiary and other in
stitutions had been cut until these
institutions were in an impoverished
condition. The situation at Blackfoot
was terrible and a disgrace to our
state. 1t was necessary to raise mon
ey to put these institutions on their
feet.
These are only a few instances
and the total legacy of debt left to
the Republicans by the false ECONOMY
of the preceding administrations was
1892, 1000.

that Mr.. Alexander had left for you
as taxpayers of the state to meet, the
