If Moore is a reactionary in thes'
times, he is our kind of man. Sew
cused of being reactionary and folk!
who blamed us for it then seem tt
like US now, so we guess it is goot
stuff whatever it is.
talks turkey to Swift & Company
but never talks turkey to the farm
ers at all. Perhaps somebody car
tell us just what that means. Well
send marked copy of this to Mr.
Holland and ask him to tell us his
Interpretation of it. Speaking of
turkeys, the Idaho penitentiary long
ago established turkey herd and
kept prisoners out in charge of it,
raising turkeys out on the noun
tains around Boise, so the prisoners
could have a Thanksgiving feast of
their own creation. We liked the
idea, and when they got to raising
more turkeys than they could use
in that way, they went to selling
them. They send them away east
the local turkey market in Idaho.
For the past few years they have
been shipping them, or part of them,
to Boston in November, and certain
ly that does not interfere with the
sale of turkeys by Idaho farmers
wives who have less than a carload
to sell and who are not offering
them in Boston. Last year the tur-
key raisers organized to market
their crop as body and they asked
Governor Moore If the state herd
would join them and he thanked
them for the invitation but said he
thought it would not be fair to the
rest of them to put the penitentiary-
raised birds in with the others as it
might depress the price by reason of
an over supply. He thought it bet
ter for them to stay out of the or
ganization and go on shipping the
turkeys clear out of the
territory where the Idaho organiza-
ton intended to offer theirs. Isn't
that talking turkey

''Ten to one hundred per cent in
,rease in electric lights" says Mr..
Holland That isn't fair; if the
,rice of lights has gone up it was
lot the fault of the governor He
lad nothing to say about it. That
natter has been pending for several
ears, and various adjustments have
,een made by the public utilities |
one of which was made |
Turing Governor Moore's admins
ration making a blanket rate for
he whole of the territory served by
he Idaho Power company. Before
r companies, there were various
rices, and now, after several years
f study of the subject the commits
ion made the blanket rate, the
anne for all towns, and some of us
ay more, some pay about the same
ut in the average it is an increase.
'harlie Moore did not have any
hing to say about it. The increase
a hundred per cent was on heat
lg water electrically in tanks, and
nat was soon cut down somewhat
nd is still under consideration for
lrther adjustments. An increase
as due the power company but per-
APPS not a hundred per cent. Those
us who are paying for that kind
service are hoping it will be modi-
ed in favor of the consumer, but
lie average person does not want '
lie company to furnish the service S
a loss. Mr.. Holland shows his {
ok of fairness or his ignorance of t
wv the commission does it's work, I
hen he blames Governor Moore for J
decision on subject that has been {
1der consideration for years be- g
re he became governor, and deci- {
On rendered now by men he did t
It appoint.
Mr.. Holland intimates that Gov t
nor Moore fixes the amount of IL e

lcks, and that farmers trucks" 4

lere is plenty of time for Mr.. Hol- a
nd and his club to explain where
ey get that stuff.
Mr.. Holland gives the governor v
edit for being able to dispose of o

rid of it, and are so divided II
