bined direct primary and convention
system of nominating candidates for
county and state offices. a large num-

combined with democrats and pro-

bill. When near the close of the cam
paign Senator Borah appealed to re-
publican candidates to ignore this SOL
emn pledge of their party and If elect

this paper contended, and it contends
now that the pledge of the party is

peated charge that platforms are

formality of adopting platforms may
well be dispensed with. What the
senate will do with the direct primary
bill still remains to be determined. but
from present information that body is
closely divided with the chances in
favor of passing the bill. In that
event the final fate of the measure
will be in the hands of Governor
Moore.
In his speeches during the campaign
Governor Moore said that he would
not sign a "mugwump" direct primary
bill. This meant that he would nor
sign a bill passed by boilers from the
republican party in combination with
democrats and progressives. the very
thing that has happened If the SEN
ate passes the bill it will be. through
a combination similar to that which
put it through in the house. and it
will be thoroughly "mugwump" from
title to closing clause 1t therefore
follows that Governor Moore Will veto
the bill and it is not believed that its
supporters can muster the necessary
two thirds to overcome his action.

PRIMARY AND The BOSS.

public Service Magazine, Chicago
In Chicago there is a strong deter
mination on the part of good citizens
that the city must have a new mayor
and administration.
The primaries come some time in
February, the election in April. For
some weeks the Chicago Tribune has
been appealing to the political lead
ers" of both the democratic and re-
publican parties to put up good men
for mayor so that whichever way the
election goes the city will win. The
Tribune insists that the situation is
largely up to these party leaders, the
bosses, in other words, though The
Tribune does not at this time use that
word
We have wondered if the people of
Chicago have caught the full signih-
canoe of the Tribune's appeal. Don't
let us be misunderstood as criticizing
or finding fault with the Tribune. We
simply wish to indicate what we be-
lieve to be very significant thing
They have the direct primary in
Chicago and Illinois, as they have in
most places. Why then appeal to any
political leaders or party bosses for
the kind of nominees wanted? The di-
rect primary came as the panacea of
all the abuses under the party boss
system 1t gave the people the balance !
OF power. Did it? 1t made them the |
sole nomnators of the candidates. |
Did it? 1t entirely did away with the /
old boss system and secured to the |
people the right of rule and the power
of saying who should run for office,
and who should not. Did it?
The Tribune is impractical in call
ing on the bosses for better political
timber. Is it? 1t is not. It is intense
~ practical. 1t knows that the direct
has not endorsed the bosses,
not in Chicago 1t has made
t little easier for the boss to oper-
tie. It has given him a cloak under
which to hide some of his trickery and
make the people think they do the or
ginal selecting.
In the MAN. the direct primary has
.lso lowered the general level of polit-
cal selection. It is unpopular to say
hese things about this popular fetish
MT simple direct assertion could not
ay them more emphatically than the
'ribune's appeal to the party bosses
avs them

THE MAN WHO is TWELVE
YEARS OLD.

The value of the training received
by boys as members of the Boy Scouts
has come to be recognized throughout
the world. 1t impresses upon their
minds the true elements of good citi-
zenship, and it is upon that ground
that thoughtful, practical and patriotic
men have come to regard support of
the Boy Scout movement the most eff
fective means of promoting their ply
steal and mental health during the i'm
of preparing them for the duties and
responsibilities of citizenship Last
week there were father and son ban
quets in Wallace and Kellogg given in
connection with the campaign for the
maintenance of the Boy Scout organi-
cation in this county. The far-reach-
ing influence for good of these meet
ings by creating a closer companion
ship between father and son can
hardly be over estimated, and it is one
of the most encouraging signs of the
times that fathers and men without
sons enter earnestly into the spirit of
the movement by giving it their per-
sonal and financial support. The dom
mating thought back of the Boy Scout
is finely brought out in the
following lines written by some one
with vision and published in the New
York Globe:

MINES AND TAXES.

Manufacturer and Industrial News)
No group of industries in the west is
taxed in so many ways as the mines
and smelters.
They pay federal taxes, state taxes
on their net profits or production, be-
sides direct taxes on their property
and Improvements.
It is proposed in some western
states to double or quadruple the state
tax on their earnings, in order to re-
lieve county taxes.
While such a policy might give the
state treasurer more money for the
Legislature to distribute. the few hun
bred or thousand dollars any county
might get out of It would not reduce
taxes on farms.
With the great undeveloped western
industry just getting back on
to its feet and overcoming high prices

single out mining for higher taxation

that good results are obtained by

BUILD ONE TU5ERcULAR HOS
PiTAL WITH FUNDS ON HAND.

The editorial in this paper of Feb
iuafy on the action Of the senate in
passing the bill abolishing the tuber-
cular commission and returning the
funds to build two hospitals to the
general fund of the state was perhaps
not sufficiently explicit. The real OBJ
lection to the bill, and this was made
clear in the Miner of last week, is that
it disposed of the money raised by
taxation for building two hospitals
without making any provision for
even one hospital, thus making it ne
cessary to secure a special appropri-
alton if anything hereafter is done to
provide hospital facilities for tubercu-
Ian patients What this paper wants
is to keep the money now on hand in
tact and the passage of bill provid-
ing for one hospital to be built with
the funds now on hand Such bill
could doubtless be passed now. but
with the money transferred to the
general fund it would not be an easy
matter to secure an appropriation.
Senator Callahan, who voted for the
senate bill, has written the Miner in
connection with the first editorial,
from which he quotes and from which
he infers that the situation is not thor
oughly understood For this reason he /
makes the following explanation,
which makes very clear the motives
actuating him in supporting the bill |

APPROPRIATION FOR MINES AND
GEOLOGY BUREAU.

The house committee on mines and
mining through its chairman, r. e.
Thomas, of this county. has introduce
ed a bill appropirating $4,000 for the
maintenance of the state bureau of
mines and geology for two years. This
is the same amount that was appro-
priated by the last session of the legis-
lature, but in recommending sweeping
reductions in appropriations, Govern
or Moore omitted provision for the
bureau. This is the only agency that
is devoted to investigation of mineral
and kindred resources of the state
and to research work with the view to
their economic exploitation; also to
give the public the benefit of these
efforts through publicity of official re-
ports as a means of encouraging and
promoting the development of the
mineral and other resources of the
state. To eliminate altogether provi-
sion for the continuance of this work
would be great injustice to one of
the great industries of Idaho and alb
soutely unfair in view of the appro- |
priations recommended for the devel-
opment of resources classed under the |
general heading of agriculture We do |
not desire to be understood as charg-
ng Governor Moore with being pur-
1osely unfair to the mining industry;
IN the contrary, we believe in making
lis recommendations the governor
vas actuated by desire to do justice
nd deal fairly with every interest in
he state But we are inclined to
hink that in his zeal to cut expenses, t
4 which he has our support, he under d
the value of the bureau of e
lines and geology as an institution of n
he state, due TO the fact that he has q
OF been brought in close touch with n

mission, we are hopeful that the gov is
nor will give it the prestige of an p
measure which will in di
