REPUBLICANS OF IDAHO
SPURN BORAH'S WISHES
Vote to Stick to Platform, De.
nounced by Senator.

BOISE, Idaho Oct. 16.-The Idaho Re-
publican State Central Committee will
hold to the Wallace platform which
Senator Borah denourced at Weiser and
Meridian and ptoceed unhesitatingly
with its campaign, according to a res
olution passed late last night.
Thirty three of the forty-four coun-
ties were represented at the session
called to meet the situation created by
Senator Borah's assumption" that he
is fighting for his political existence
and his statement that a piece of blank
paper would have been better than the
platform adopted by the convention in
August.
Lifelong friends OF Senator Borah
cried out against his attitude in de-
manding that the candidate for Gov
ernor renounce the platform and politi-
cal enemies bitterly opposed his Repub-
licanism. Speakers insisted that the
Senator has raised more than the
attacked Republicanlsm and the very
primary convention issues-that he has
principles of partisan government.

Troy's Traction Troubles.

They have had traction troubles here,
and the talk seemed to hit the Trojans
with force. The fare here is seven cents.

speaker declared, "if the State can step
in and nullify contracts solemnly en-
tered into and faithfully lived up to by
the city. j can think OF nothing more
reactionary than this particular legsla-
ton"
Mr. Smith did not refer to his single
headed Public Service Commission in
New York city-Le wis Nixon. Commits
sioner-but devoted himself to upstate
araction matters. Again alluding TO the
blows that GOV. Miller has aimed at
him, he said
"In Il nice. gentlemanly Court OF APP

increased fares | dor't know where he
gets that. / never had the appointment
of more than two Public Service Com
inissioners out of five while | was in
office. The majority Of the commission
never consulted me on anything. but at
no time did. the traction companies ever
get an increased fare by applying TO me.

CAN'T RUN FOR CONGRESS.
GitIow's Conviction of Anarchy
Makes Him Ineligible.

The independent nominating petition
OF Benjamin Gitlow as candidate for
Congress in the Twelfth district was
thrown out yesterday by the Board of
Elections. The reason given was that
Gitlows conviction on the charge Of
criminal anarchy deprived him of. citi-
zenship and made him ineligible to run
for public office.
The board postponed until Friday ac-
ton on the petition of Dorothy F'rooks,
Independent candidate for Congress in

made to her petition on the ground that
signatures were fraudulent.

O'Brien made no reference to the attack
Of William Travers Jerome, who in his
speech at the first Cohalan meeting

made indirect reference only to Cohaian.
Follow the Party Emblem.
The phrase "a man of the people" has
been used so frequently in reference to
Alfred L. Smith that it has come TO
mean that he is the embodiment OF de-

Morgan j. OBrien said that in such
an election contest il was wise policy
for voters to follow their party emblem,
and that without loving either OF the
other candidates less" he proposed to
give his support to John p. O'Brien.
The west ballroom of the hotel was

Cotillo, James p Holland, president or

Turned to ST. Lawrence.

The speaker then said the water power
interests next turned their eye on the
st. Lawrence River. In 1907 the Long
Sault Development Company got from
the state the right to use the water at
Long Sault Rapids, "the State deriving
in return for this wonderful grant
very small annual return.
Denying the assertions that Gov Mil
ler gave the State its first water power
policy. Mr. Smith said
THE fact is that Gov. Hughes, in the
very year that he signed the Long Sault
Development charter. realized what a
valuable grant he gave away for pract-
cally nothing and insisted on the pas
sage of a subsequent act of the same
Legislature defining the States policy
with regard TO water power develop
ments. and that act placed upon the then
Water Commission the duty of submit
ting to the Legislature a plan for the
development of water power by the
State under State ownership and State
control.
This. of course. was too progressive
to satisfy the water power interests. and
they made it their business to see that
no such plan would be submitted. In
1921 the Water Commission was abol-
ferred to the newly created Conservation
Commission. Between 1907 and 1911 the
Water Commission did absolutely moth
ing in obedience to the act of 1907"
Repeal of Long Sault's Charter.
In 1912 the Democrats. Mr.. Smith
said, tried to get a comprehensive plan
through the Legislature. but it went to
it's death in the Republican Assembly.
But in 1913 a Democratic administra-
tion repealed the charter of the Long
Sault Development Company. The
speaker continued:
"In 1915, when Gov Whitman came
in, the water power interests, scared by
the narrow shave they had. started in
to monkey with the conservation law
and succeeded in putting in it a pro-
vision hamstringing the Conservation
Commission and rendering useless any
plan they might submit. unless such plan
had the approval of the Attorney Cen
eral and the State Engineer and Sur
veyor.
Their bold attempt in the constitu-
tional convention of 1915 to render the
State helpless is matter of history and
was freely spoken of in the newspapers
of the State at that time. and undoubt-
ely had considerable to do with the de-
feat of the proposed new constitution
submitted to the people in the fall of
1915.
From that period until became Gov
ernor in 1919 the private owners and the
adherents and defenders of private own
ership remained undisturbed The State
took no action. In 1919 l recommended
to the Legislature bill looking to State
ownership. State development and State
control. 1t passed a hostile Senate only

/ REVIEWS HIS EFFORTS

lSpecial Dispatch to THE New YoRK HERALD
Troy, oct. 16.-Joe Murphy, Demo-
cratic boss of Rensselaer, county, staged
a real old fashioned political meeting
for Alfred f. Smith here tonight
Speaking to a crowd that jammed Music
Hall Mr.. Smith dwelt for the first time
on traction and water power.
More than 1000 remained outside for
an overflow meeting, addressed by
Mayor George r. Lunn, running for
Lieutenant Governor, and by Mr..
Smith later.
Mr.. Smiths traction talk hinged on
the enormity of permitting the State to
break contracts between municipalities
and public utility corporations. He
said not a word about a five cent fare,
nor did he mention municipal opera
ton or control.
Referring to Gov. Miller's declaration
that the authority granted TO the Tran
sit and Public Service commissions was
given under the police power, the candi-
date exclaimed: when the Governor
attempts to justify this brutal. vicious
wicked assault on police power he is
wrong"

rection of the Republican leaders. l
again submitted II in 1920 and 1t was
again defeated. That brings the history
Of water power in the State right up to
the present administration.
Two Groups Outlined.
There are two classes OF men I'm the
State with totally different IDEAS on the
subject of water power development l
belong 10 the group that believes in de-
velopment OF this power by the State,
under state ownership and State con-
troll. ] take that position because / am
satisfied that is the only way that the
rank and file Of the people OF the State
can get any material benefit from the
great God-given resources that belong
to themselves.
"The other group believes in long
leases TO private corporations for de-
velopmeut by them for profit. Gov.
Miller belongs in the second group and
instead of making a forward step. he
has really gone backwards and adopted
che policy that obtained in the State
prior TO the enactment of the statute OF
1907 suggested by Gov. Hughes.
$50 far as water power development
is concerned. he has turned back the
hands of the clock of progress more than
fifteen years. In a speech he delivered
at Buffalo on the Goth Of August. 1921,
speaking OF the St. Lawrence waterway
development he said: IL hope the time
is not far distant when that tremendous
power in the st. Lawrence. as well as
that in the Niagara, shall be harnessed
for the benefit. not Of some power com
pany. but of the people who own that
water power"
That sounded all right but it was
not in keeping with the legislation that
he signed because that legislation per-
mitted his Water Power Commission to
grant licenses for private development
for a period Of fifty years"

Discusses Traction Issue.

After referring Drleny 10 state finances
and reasserting that the palm for the
Largest ever" State budget belonged to
Gov. Miller the former Governor dis
cussed the traction issues.
while finance is an important issue,
he said, II am on the right side OF IL.
l believe there are other and equally
important things in which the people OF
the state of New York are interested
and which cost them dollars out of their
pockets in ways other than by processes
OF taxation. What defense can the Gov
ernor possibly make of his brutal assault
upon the rights of the cities to enforce
the provision of their own contracts?
The people of Troy have an example of
what this policy on the part of Gov.
Miller really means.
Under my administration the contract
between the city of Troy and the trac-
ton companies operating in this city
was respected and the matter of carfare
increases was left to the city IL your
Common Council saw fit 20 give relief
TO the trolley companies during the stress
and pressure OF war times that's mat
ter for the city Of Troy. But TO take
that power from the city and leave its
people at the mercy of State agency
is a violation of the fundamental prin-
ciples OF home rule and local control of
homo affairs that nobody can defend, and
can only be taken a move to benefit
n few against the wishes and over the
heads OF the many.
sThat Is exactly what Gov Miller did
when nc passed his public service legisla-
tion. and the Public Service Commission
was in no way backward in showing it's
friendship in a material way for the

Henry Ford is becoming the most
written up man in the world. Proba-
bly, he has put more romance into in
dustry than any other man who ever
lived.
just at present the itching desire is
to find out something about the man
himself. How did he do it? What
does he think9 What's he going 10
do next
Ford has upset lot Of theories, and
some things that we thought were
facts. He has an original mind, orr
ginal methods, and is not bound BY
precedents.
One of the strangest things is that
this supreme organizer does not be-
lleve ia organization!
He says that when any business gets
the organization germ, it begins to die.
Lots of energy has been spent in
telling how infinitely some businesses
are organized, how the precise duties
of each and every person should be
outlined.
Ford says this is a mistake. Says
that when you outline precisely and
in definite detail mans duties, you
put him into a rut. that he sees only
that coming within the narrow limits
of his scheduled task.
Says Ford, don't tell man exactly
where his duties end or he will keep
the end in view all of the time.
This is smashing blow at some Of
the advice that has been dished out
to us.
Here is another inconsistent state
ment. Ford says not to go too keenly
into keeping records. He says you will
be restrained by them.
Then he goes still further and smash
es another of our treasured idols. He
says it is all bosh about the monotony
of industry killing all personality. He
says that some people want just the
same thing over and over, and don't
want any sort Of duty that requires
them to think or take initiative. 9th.
ers must exercise their own initiative.
It is just as much horror to the
man lacking in initiative to have to
change as it is for the man endowed
with this trait to have to do monoton-
Gus work.
There is valuable food for thought
in all of this.
Many business becomes so thickly
enprusted with organization that it al.

localities go without, and the larger
ones pay thousands Of dollars for that
which they could have for nothing if
they would only come out of the cor
ner and start something. Picture
shows, entertainments of all kinds, ball
games. races, shows, etc., are all own
ed and run by companies who make
thousands of dollars off society. We
pay to hear man lecture and go home
saying: i could have done that well
myself" We pay to see horse race,
and say: "Pshaw, old Paint could
out-run that horse!" We go to con-
cert, and hear fine music, and never
dream of making some ourselves. No
wonder society is so ignorant along So
cial lines.
However, there is one place on the
face of this green earth that asks no
odds of any one when it comes to the
social problem. That is NewIlano. We
have had dances for eight years, and
we have our first band to pay for. We
have had entertainments as long, and
we have as yet our first noted singer
OF speaker to pay. We make them
ourselves. Every one is urged to do
something in our social life, for that
is one of our ideals-to make our own
social life and have it the best to be
had. No one is refused an opportun-
ity to help along any line he is able,
and everybody is urged to make des-
'perate attempt at being able to help
entertain. When there is a party in
.Newllano, every one does not hunt a
corner. If nothing else, some one rus
ties musical instrument and we have
a dance. We learn how to dance, how
to entertain, how to play basket ball,
base ball, and numerous other meth
DDS of entertaining; and the fellow
who hunts a corner soon finds himself
being dragged out by the ear.
No wonder the outside world is such
a dreary old place to those who do
not or cannot indulge in social life.
When look back on the times have

are part of the jolly good times we
have. But no words can express the
pleasure and the. enjoyment young AID
old derive from social life made by
themselves.
Could the communities, the towns,
the cities. the nations. of the world
but realize the comfort derived from
true society, they would soon follow
the example of Llano. There is no
reason why any community cannot
have some social life in which all could
take part, were they only to cooper
ate. Cooperation in society is as es-
sential as in financial life. Without
social gatherings, no community can
be success; hence this is one of the
great ties of Llano. We make our So
cial life as strong as our economic
life.

most ceases to function. 1t becomes
smothered.
Ford ought to know more about
these things than any other living man,
certainly more than fanatics on the
subject do.
Most Of us have noted that when
any country, business, enterprise, or in
dustry becomes thoroughly organized
down to its smallest detail, it has be-
gun to die. Freedom of thought and
initiative seem to be strangled by it.
Ford says that Industry, Agricul-
ture. and transportation must be in
separately linked together.
Certainly he is doing great deal
TO link them.
In the Colony we have striven to-
ward the same ideal, combining others
with it.
Politicians have tried to create an
animosity between those who are en-
gagged in agriculture and the other
groups.
Ford's idea is to take industry
away from the great congested centers
and that agricultural work should be
supplemented with industrial employ
nent
The Llano colonist. [volume] (Llano, Calif.) 191?-1937, 1922-11-04


Make one supplement the other.
Then there will be no wasted time. no
unemployment, he thinks.
Ford knows thai labor creates the
wealth.
Labor unemployed means an econ
omic loss.
If farmers sit around the house III
the winter doing nothing, they are
wasting time. If they can be profit
ably employed during this off sea-
son, then they will be creating and
they will profit. That sounds like CONF
mon sense.
We in the Colony discovered that
some years ago.
Ford's idea would decrease the size
Of cities, but multiply the number Of
small industrial centers. II would take
industrial enterprises into country dis
tricts, employing agriculturists during
the slack season. This would equal
ize things.
It seems a sensible arrangement.
The pleasing thing to the Colony is
that Ford, the worlds greatest indus
trial success, Is voicing the very prin-
ciples which underlie the colony plan
of development.
Many Of his experiences and deduc-
tons parallel ours.
