FARMER CHARLIE
Moore.

Charlie Moore hit town Tuesday,
Knowing more than he can say.
Moses. ever strong for show.
Says a heap he doesn't know.
Charlie isn't strong on "Bulr'
Nose is surely heaping full
Nose employs both voice and hand
Those who know him understand.
Charles just an honest farmer
Can't orate-is no snake charmer.
He's a man four-square, remember,
Vote for him. then, in November.
Moore is no orator but is so sincere
in the message he has to deliver to
the voters that one hearing him knows
he is telling the truth and giving the
facts and figures as they really are
and is using no camoflauge at all.
He is a plain farmer, a real dirt farm
er and in his speech he showed he
had the interests of the farmer in his
mind at all times.
IF I am elected governor, pledge
to you that every item of state expense
will be scrutinized as carefully. with
the view of economy. as I scrutinize
the expenses of my Fremont county
farm he told his audience here Tues
day night.
1--WE must not cripple our state
schools and universities. and we must
provide for these unfortunates who
are in our charge in charity and
penal institutions. Nor must we ne
glect legitimate functions of the vari-
Gus departments of state government;
but we can put into practice every
means of economy that is in keeping
with good business and healthy pro-
gress"
Mr.. Moore expressed the hope that
dairying may become more firmly es-
tablished in this state, to the end that
the products of the farm may be put
into form for easier, cheaper and more
profitable marketing.

TO RAISE ALFALF A SEED
Special Tract of 10000 acres
Shows Great Pro m Sc
For This Crop.

A new tract of land recently desig-
mated by the United States govern
ment, after three years of experiment
tai work, shows some very promising
results in production of alfalfa seed
peas and potatoes, according to Blaine
County Agricultural Agent, L. j.
Klingler, of HALEY. Ten thousand
acres, isolated from other sections OF
the tract, are being made into an al
falfa seed section. Twenty-Five men
are interested in this land and are
growing pedigreed Grimm seed. Three
hundred acres are being seeded this
season. One field of 10 acres, sowed
May Is. promises a heavy yield Of seed
this year.
The Blaine county Commissioners
have made a special road over eight
miles of rough lava to this tract
have YOU put me on the list.

economy, and watch carefully our ex-
penditures in the future. we will be on
firm foundation for prosperity" he
said.
i Illustrating how Alexander disre-
garded the farmers interests when he
was governor and had cost them
thousands of dollars he told of him
vetoing the appropriation of $1,000
for the determination Of the alfalfa
weevil at a time when it could have
easily been stamped out. AS a result
of that veto the farmers with a big
crop of alfalfa found they could not
sell it for all the surrounding states
had put an embargo on aIalfa from
this state Notwithstanding there was
a shortage Of alfalfa in other places
and it was bringing good prices the
farmers of Idaho were compelled to
sell their crop for 81 or SO ton because
the weevil was working in this state
and other states would not let the
alfalfa from Idaho pass through their
state. This loss by the farmers was
thousands of times greater than would
have been the tax that would have
eradicated the weevil and allowed the
farmers to get a good price for their
alfalfa. It was Alexander's disregard
for the farmers interests and veto of
this bill that cost the farmers, and
through them the rest of the people
OF Idaho thousands of dollars.
Attorney General Black absolutely
proved to the audience that the caM-
net form of government in effect at
the present time in this state had
saved the taxpayers thousand of dol
lars instead of adding to the cost Of
government and taxes. He took each
separate department and commission
under the previous administration and
showed how it had been consolidated
and centralized and less employees in
each department were now doing the
work in a more efficient manner. In
the previous administration the De-
partment of Agriculture was made up
of two departments, three boards and
four inspectors and the board men,
bers and employees numbered %,
whereas under the cabinet form Of
government the department of agri-
culture was made up of a commits
sioner of agriculture, a director Of
plant industry, a director Of animal
industry and all officers and employees
numbered 10 cutting off Of 1S peo-
pie from the payroll. And what was
true of the department of agricul-
ture he showed to be true Of all other
departments.

no less than $4,000, 100000 and in all

Such a staggering sum of money go

seem certain to bring good prices and
are being cultivated under Debated

Unless some new form of hocus
pocus is devised to strip the farmer
of his profits, the year should be"a
helpful one.
Manufacturers may hold back from

pocket of the farmer, nothing will stop
for long the general prosperity of the
country.
When sound demand is heard, we
will soon get down to normal pro-
duction and adequate distribution.
The public. of course. will pay the
cost of the strikes.
But higher prices will not halt con-
sumption which in the last analysis,
is the basis of American happiness
and prosperity.

The editor of the Journal mailed
copies of the Journal. containing the
wool rate story, to Senator Borah,
Senator Gooding and Congressman
Addison T. Smith with the request
they send to the Journal their views
on the discrimination of wool rates
against shoshone. Their replies are
given below:
WASHINGTON. September 1st, 1922.
L. L. Platz, Editor,
Shoshone, Idaho
My dear Mr. Platz:
received some days ago your letter
with the clipping relative to the ques-
tion of freight rates, wherein it is
stated that you can ship wool from
shoshone via Portland to Boston
cheaper than you can from Shoshone
to Boston.
This, Of course, involves the long
controverted proposition of the long
and short haul It has never been
possible to pass through the Congress
a law was passed which gave the In
terstate Commerce Commission a GER
tain authority with reference to it,
but it has never seemed to me that
that authority has been exercised as
it might have been under the law.
But so far as being able to pass
measure which would take care of it
specifically by the very terms of the
law, it has never been possible. Sem
ator Poindexter has had a bill which
has had the support of a number of
Middle West Senators before the SEN
ate for years, but the votes have not
been at hand to pass it. AS you can
well understand, there is tremen-
dous opposition to it. Only small
portion of the country really seems to
take an interest in it. We are flanked
on both sides with opposition.
There is another question in con-
nection with this, Platz, which think
would be interesting. Speaking OF
shipping the wool to Portland and
then to Boston recalls to my mind
Why did we build the Panama Canal
l succeeded, if 1 may be permitted to
say so, in passing bill through the
Senate providing for free tolls through
the Panama Canal That bill has thus
far rested in the Committee of the
House. Just why the West have not
been more interested in securing the
utmost natural competition in the
matter of freight rates from the West
to the East and from the East to the
West have never been able to under
stand 1 think one of the most vital
things in heralding the prosperity OF
the West is to work out solution OF
these heavy freight rates, and no more
important element in the success OF
that proposition in my judgment is
there than the question of free tolls.
Very sincerely
WILLIAM T. RORAH.

SIGNIFICANT THINGS
IN POLITICS

There are signs of q great reac-
ton in politics in these strenuous
days Of adjustment, after the war.
And for most OF the things that hap
pen, there is reason. Reasons are
often far-fetched. but they are there
In some degree.
Some of the recent significant
things in politics are that Senator
Penrose, now dead. who ruled the
stand-pat politics Of Pennsylvania
for 80 long. was very pronounced
enemy Of clifford Pinchot, and Pin
chot has Just received the nomina-
ton for governor Of Pennsylvanta
at the primaries in very bitter
fight against . stand-pat candidate
for the place. The Penrose machine
had given 10 mtfch and such deep Of
tense that It left its mark plainly in
the campaign just ended.
In the senatorial contest just
ended in Indiana, Senator New was
the stand-pat representative. empha-
tically favored by the president and
the men in power, yet former Senator
Beveridge the Independent Republi-
can, whose voice was always loud
and clear on the side Of respectable.
open-handed politics, won the NOM
nation against the united opposi-
ton of the stand-pat element and
whatever powers the machine chose
to array against him.
