HAVE KEPT THE

The following article written IL
the Office of the Republican state
chairman of the Republican party
at Boise is a timely expression:
Who are the sharpest critics Of
incumbent public officials?
Who lead In furnishing prejudiciaI
feeling against those who are in Of
flee? et
1t is usually the man or group OF
men who are themselves seeking Of
flee or political power
AS we hear in the heat of the
campaign adverse criticisms against
those who hold office, let us ask our
selves as COOL citizens, what do /
actually know about the situation
and what has been the record for
service of those who seek nv en-
dorsement?"
We owe such situation careful
analysis.
Outstanding in the state cam
paign is the fact that the rather in
significant opposition to Governor
Moore and his ticket is founded on
the very smallest of issues. The
governors opponents are dealing. in
insignificant issues. They have not
produced one solitary, well-grounded
reasonable fact, why he and his
ticket should not be approved. The
whole gamut of ridiculous asser-
lions, from represents Wall street."
to "psuedo-farmer," has been tried
but not once has there been raised a
concrete statement that the chief

the contrasts may be shown through
out the entire list of products raised
upon the farms, while at the same
time the Republican tariff law has
left upon the free list the farm i'm
plements necessary in the produc-
ton of crops.
United States imported more than
seven million pounds Of wool, rags,
etc. In the fiscal year of 1924 more
than nine million pounds were i'm
ported. Under the Republican tar
i'll this Importation paid duty of 16
cents per pound, while under the
Democratic tariff law of 1913 they
would be admitted free
During the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1928, more than $4,000
900 worth of cattle were imported;
during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1924, cattle imported were val
ued at more than 100000. The
Fordney-McCumber law imposes an
import duty of 2 cents per pound
and " cents per pound, according
to weight. The Democratic tariff of
1913 admitted cattle free of duty.
There Is an old saying that 'the
Lord helps those who helps them
Selves and it is equally true that
no party can bring prosperity to any
class that tears down the benefits
built up for their own protection.
1t is unbelievable that, in the light
of facts established beyond question
by official records, the farmers of
America and especially the farmers
of the state of Idaho, will undermine
and destroy the protective system
that gives to them millions of dol
lars annually in increased prices
over what they would receive i'll
fored to compete in the markets
with foreign raised produce admit
ted duty free, by voting to return to
power those who advocate a repeal
Of the protective tariff and a return
to free trade policy so far as agri-
cultural products are concerned.
The farmers of Idaho for the first
time in several years now see a ray
Of hope just ahead. The tangible
signs of returning prosperity are
sven now being felt. They will not |
be blind to their own interest and
destroy the one thing that makes
possible the future welfare and
prosperity of agricultural America,
/ tariff for the protection of Ameri-
IAN farm produce against the COM
petition of cheaply' grown foreign
produce.

IMPORTANCE OF FIRE
PREVENTION EFFORTS.

People of this country are com
ing to understand that Fire Proven
ton Week, observed throughout the
nation last week and which has be.
come an annual event, is essentially
matter of public welfare. OF such
Importance is it, that Fire Proven.
ton Week should be observed fifty
Two times year. Newspapers OF
the United States have shown by
their comments and the amount OF
space devoted to the movement that
they are squarely behind this effort
to reduce to minimum the annual
loss Occasioned by fire.
During fire prevention week wide
publicity was given to the appalling
loss of life which averages more
than 1850 fatalities a month in the
United States and to the startling
average of fire wastage which last
year reached approximately $1.4OO.-
UOO worth of property every day Of
the year, not to mention the loss
consequent to the interruption Of
business and other incidental dam
ages.
Fire prevention means and safe
guards should become a matter of
daily thought and practice and fire
prevention week as time goes by
should be used to record the activi-
ties OF various communities and or
CARNATIONS that have cut down their
fire losses and thus bettered their
condition compared with communi-
ties that continue the old wasteful
practice of suffering terrible loss of
life and property through careless
ness. Carefulness exercised every
day in the year will do much to re-

the Underwood tariff, wheat wa
placed upon the freelist, while un
der the present Republican tariff
law the American wheat grower wa!
given a benefit of 80 cents per bush
ell, which since April 6, 1924, hal
been advanced to AZ cents per bush
ell. What does that mean to the
American wheat growers? On the
basis of the last government fore
cast or the 1924 wheat crop, il
means a direct benefit to the wheat
growers of America of $359,52O,.
900. In like manner it is found
that under the Democratic tariff
oats were given a tariff of cents
per bushel, while under the Repub-
lican tariff they are given Is cents
per bushel protection or more than
double. This means that based up
on government estimates the oat
growers of America will be given a
direct benefit on this years crop of
$135, 100000 more than received
under the Democratic tariff of
cents per bushel. Under the Demo-
cratic tariff law, cattle, sheep, hogs,
beef, mutton and pork were all adj
mitted free of duty to compete with
American grown livestock. Under
the Republican tariff law, cattle
must pay. duty of one and one-half
and two cents per pound according
to weight, sheep 81 per head and
hogs one-half cent per pound. Beef
imported to this country must pay a
duty of three cents per pound, NUT
ton two and one-half cents, and pork
three-fourths of cent per pound
Idaho is today making every eff
fort to improve her dairy industry.
Under the Democratic tariff law
duty of two and one-half cents
pound was imposed on foreign made
butter. Under the Republican law
this was increased to eight cents per
pound, which means that based up
on a production since January 1 ),
1928 of 20,572,000 pounds of but
ter, the farmers of Idaho have been
given benefit in the markets of the
United States OF $1,645,772. The

WHICH SYSTEM HELPS
THE IDAHO FARMER?

The one question above all Others
with which the farmer is concerned
i is whether he may under ordinary
conditions be justified in expecting
to receive for the products of his
labor a price that will enable him tC
reap some profit from his investment
of money and of labor and enable
him to earn living for himself and
his family by continuing his agri.
cultural efforts. In discussing the
elements entering into the price OF
farm products no one with proper
regard for truth will attempt to ig-
more or deny the influence of the
law of supply and demand as de-
termining factor. With short
world crop of staple farm products,
the farmer who Is fortunate enough
to live in a community blessed by
abundant crops may reasonably ex-
pect to get good prices for what he
raises, without the assistance of ar
tificial price stimulants. But 1t
Is in those years of plentiful crops
throughout the great food producing
nations of the world that the Ameri-
can farmer Is concerned with the
price to be received for his own
crops. 1t is then that he is faced
with the disastrous effects that fol-
low the Importation of farm pro-
ducts raised in countries operating
under cheap labor conditions, grown
upon cheap lands and where produc-
ton costs based upon low standards
of living are far below the cost of
production under American stand
ards 1t is under such conditions of
competition with the surplus crops
raised in other countries and ship
ped to American markets that the
farmer must rely upon the protection
of a tariff wall to save him from the
effects upon prices that dumping
of foreign agricultural products up
on American markets would bring
about. That the direct benefits the
farmer is given by the protective
tariff policy of the Republican party
may be brought home to the farmer,
he is invited to give careful thought
to the following comparisons be-
tween the protection given his pro-
ducts under the present Fordney-
tariff law passed by the
administration and the
lack of protection he is afforded I'M
der the provisions of the Underwood
tariff law passed by the Democratic
party in 1913. The tariff compari-
sons are based upon figures furnish
ed by the report of the tariff COM

the farmers of this state are most
interested they will find that under

PLAYING POLITICS WITH
MONEY OF TAXPAYERS.

The proposal of the LaFollette
political platform that the govern
ment take over the ownership and
operation of the railroads of the
country, which would at the outset
involve the purchase Of railroad
property of valuation fixed at more
than 20,O00,0O0,000, an amount to
be added to the already heavy pub
lie debt, does not appeal to the tax
payers of the country whether resid-
ing in the cities or on the farms.
They realize that government own
ership and operation means control
by politics and Notwithstanding
else. If political job-holders are
likely to give efficient transporta-
ton, service and economy, the polit-

executive lacked in honesty, courage,
patriotic impulse, devotion to prin-
c1ples for which he has stood, or
that he has deviated from his pur-
pose to be just executive for all
classes. There is Significance in
that.
There is something eloquent,
deeply appealing, in the chosen slog-
an OF the Republican state ticket,
We have kept the faith Govern
or Moore has kept the faith. His
has not been the sort of administra-
ton which promised to follow GER
tain principles for political purpose,
only to break them for selfish ex-
.pediency. Taxes have been re-
duced, efficiency practiced In state
business, state institutions 1mprov-
ed, reclamation encouraged and
benefited, state departments care
fully supervised, and earnings in
creased-an honorable record.
Truly the Republican party in
Idaho has "kept the faith
There have been two or three
notable campaigns in this state
where candidates have admonished
voters to take their tax receipts
to the polls" To these might be
added the situation in this year of.
