Mr.. Moore was apparently per-
feet specimen Of health, but he dis
covered about three months ago that
HE had heart disease. This progress
ed rapidly and was aggravated by
recent attack of dengue fever. How
ever, he had apparently recovered
from the latter and was able to be up
when a sudden relapse ended in death.
The remains were laid to rest at
Port Gibson Friday afternoon with
Masonic honors, Rev. N. B. Harmon
assisting.
Mr.. Moore was the youngest son Of
Mr.. and Mrs ]. B. Moore of Port Glib

and was 20 years Of age. Besides his

STRIKERS PLAY
JO0SING GAME,

Nothing can reimburse the striking
miner or the shopman for the wages
he looses; but after a strike is over the
operators still have the unmined coal
and the railroads still have their pro-
perty and the possibility of Increased
rates. How then, can the striker win?
Talk of involuntary ~servitude" "the
right to STRIKE" Unconstitutional in
functions" and decreased earning
power" are misleading and shallow
untruths. A workingman may always
quit his job. And in these days of adj
vancement, no one questions the right
to bargain collectively.
The workingman will find his great
est protection in compulsory arbitra-
ton. For then he will be permitted by
the unions to continue profitable labor
while differences between capital an6
labor are bling adjusted. He will al
ways have the privilege of quitting his
involuntary se%rvitude" if general con
ditions as dictated by the arbitration
board are not satisfactory. 1t is in
conceivable that compulsory arbitra
ton should cost the workers the mil
lions and millions that strikes haVt
cost them.
The safety of society requires tina
there be devised some compulsor.

A
VOTE II

H. F. Samuels, progressive candidate
for governor, is campaigning with an
issue hat advocates a moratorium OF
one year on the collection of debts in
the nature of mortgages and judg-
ments against personal property or
real estate.
Regardless of the merits of the pro-
position, 1t will be conceded that the
measure is a vote getter among those
who are on the verge of bankruptcy
Just how many there are in this con-
dition will probably be known Novem-
Der Sth when the election ballots are
counted.

Save you people half your taxes

save you people half your taxes"
Lets see how Mr.. Alexander can
do that" inquired the governor. ''Wiil
he dot it by stopping road work?
No, Alexander says in his speeches,
we must continue to have good roads.
Will he save it on the schools? No,
he says, We must have good schools
although the record shows that when
he was governor he permitted the
State University to become almost par
alyzed for want of funds. Alexander
says wen ust not cut out anything that
reaches to tn home and the fire side
How then, is he going to cut your
taxes in half? The records show that
As per cent of your tax money goes to
municipal government and improve
ments, over which Alexander would
have no control. Another 80 per cent
goes to the public school system, over
which he would have no control. Then
IL percent goes to the county, over
which Alender would have no control.
This leaves 8 per cent of your tax mon
ey for all state purposes. OF the
states portion, about 6 1-3 per cent
goes for roads and other purposes
which Alexander lays are necessary
and can't be disturbed. So, only 2 2-3
per cent remains for Alexander to
"cut in half" This would b cas- aving
of 1 1-3 percent instead of the so per
cent that Alexander so glibly promises
you. Every voter who gives any
thought to his tax statement knows
that Alexander can't make good on that
promise. And Alexander knows i'll"

SNIPE HUNTING
IN POLITICS.

Democratic state politics, this year.
resembles the old game of "snipe'
hunting where the tenderfoot used tn
hold the sack all night while his fell
lows were supposed to be out flush
ing the game. Nose Alexander the
democratic gubernationaI candidate is
out c%orraling the votes, ostensibly
while his burbon friends are holding
the political sack.
The only issue the democrats have
raised, is "too high taxation" This,
with an occasional fling at. the cabi-
net form of government, the do-noth-
ing congress-, and the Newberry Case,
constitutes the campaign issues thus
far unearthed.
1t is very noticeable to the average
voter that Alexander is camoflauging
the figures on taxation. His random
statements are sc far from the truth
that the truth is o~yertaking him. Ex-
travagant statements might have done
four years ago or ten years ago, but
will not suffice today when, with the
state operating on a budget system,
every record is as clear as a bell.
The people in Idaho today are quail
fled to judge the figures presented, are
capable of interpreting their own tax
statements, know where the money
goes, where it comes from and who is
responsible for it. Knowing these
things it is rather foolish to expect
they will believe such ridiculous state
ments as eff elected we will reduce
your taxes rs percent" They have
passed the tenderfoot stage. They have
held the sack too often,-particularly
under Alexander.

KNOCKS IDAHO.
Candidate for Governor ISLANDERS his
Own State.

Recently, Governor Davis, speaking
at Grandview, took up Alexander's
charge that Iadho farmers are bling
driven to neighboring states by high
taxes. He read letters from the tax
collectors of Oregon and Washington
showing that the per capita tax in Ore
gon for 1921 was $12.11 while in Ida
no for thes anne year it was $6.13. At
this juncture a farmer in the audience
arose and said:
THAT is absolutely true. 1 just NOV
ed here from Oregon and l know taxes
arem UGH higher there than they are
here"
1t has been suggested taht a true
Idahoan would not knock his home
state on the possibility of getting a
vote from some unthinking resident.

fact that five out of the eight men can
