states, and strongly recommended its adop-
ton in Idaho. The incoming Republican
administration adopted it, and thereby
simplifed the administration, cut out dupli-
cations Of service and needless employees and
department heads, and operate at lower ex-
pense, yet Mr. Alexander condemns them
for it and falsely states that it has added to
the tax burden. The principal changes
made are that under the old system, the
different departments were acting indie.

directly at the head of all of them, and now
all department heads are made responsible
to the governor, and they hold meetings

As we neared the close of the world war,
the people Of the United States sought to
provide employment for the disbanding
armies, and roads were the popular subject
of those days. Everybody seemed imbued
with the need of roads to carry our auto
mobiles and trucks, and in Idaho we were
planning to build roads in the different

state, county and federal governments.
Various counties in Idaho voted bonds for
total of fourteen million in their effort to
get their respective shares of the four mil
lion named. Of this amount, Bingham
county voted 100000, tremendously more
than its share of the federal money. When
the legislature met, it was found that the
representatives from every county had come
to Boise to get road money, and after some
consideration of the matter it was proposed
that the legislature levy a four mill;,.- tax
for road purposes, and Governor Davis OPP
posed it vigorously and said he would veto
such measure if they passed it, but said
he would cooperate with them if they would
cut the amount in two, and it was supported
by Democrats and Republicans alike. 1t
was compromise measure, was very much
less expensive than the people Of the state
were demanding and yet Mr. Alexander is
virtuously condemning the Republican ad-
mnstration for it.

to $50 students, 50 many Of the young peo-
pie were gone to the war and staying out of
school to fill the demands for workers in
civil life, and even with that low attendance,
the students in the university had to choose
between seeing the school close before the
end of the term, or having their instructors
work without salary or paying the salary
themselves, and they raised the money
among themselves and kept them paid.
When the war was over and the attend
ance went up ito II5o and it took three
times as much to keep the university operat-
ing, Alexander was out of office and a
Republican governor and Republican ad-
ministration had to take hold with an empty
treasury and provide for the needs of the
state Institutions for that period Of high tide
and peak prices, and replenish the rundown
supplies of every kind in those institutions.
An example of it is found in Bingham
county when Governor Davis went into Of
flee and there was change Of superin-
tendents at the Blackfoot asylum, as stated
by Blackfoot paper at the time, the
patients were being i'll treated, the seed
grain had been fed or sold. This is sample
of how all the state institutions had run
down, chemical supplies were exhausted,
fences and buildings were out of repair, and
everything presenting the appearance Of
rented farms.
Mr.. Alexander is telling his audiences
that when he went out of office he left
Balance of $4,000 in the state treasury,
and an investigation of the records discloses
that Alexander's own expert auditor,
Clarence Van Dusen, shows that he left an

Former Chief Executive of
Idaho Seeks to Deceive
His Own People

Statements made by former governor
Moses Alexander to the effect that the rise
in taxes just after the expiration Of his
terms in office were due to the adoption of
the cabinet form of government are not
true. His statement that the cabinet form
Of administering the state government
raised the taxes 237 per cent, are made for
the purpose of covering up his own malad-
ministration in office by parsimony in the
management or mis-management of the
larger schools and state institutions, using
fire insurance money for running expenses
instead Of rebuilding the edifces that were
burned, allowing the supplies of every kind
to run low during his term and making it
necessary for his successors in office to stock
up and repair wornout tools, implements
and other property, making it necessary for
students at the university to pay their teach
ers' wages because the Alexander crowd did
not provide for it, cutting off the appropria-
lions for fighting alfalfa weevil and other
farm pests, and in various ways exercising
penny-Wise economy to the great detriment
of the people he was supposed to work. for
and protect.
Former Governor Alexander is promising
that if elected he will cut the taxes by his
better management of state business, and
give much relief to the suffering taxpayers.
The illustration here given shows that if
he cut out the entire state tax it would be
such a small reduction that the taxpayers
would hardly notice it. And he cannot cut
out all the state taxes without suspending
the administrative departments of the state
government. If it were possible for him
to operate at half the present expense, it
would make no perceptiable reduction in the
total tax bill. The governor has no power
to change the levies made for school pur-
poses, for city purposes nor for county pur-
poses, and he is deliberately trying to de-
celve the voters when he makes the claims
