Cotton chasing offices are main
tanned by the state at Blythe, Bak
ersfield and Fresno. These cotton
chasing offices were established
following the definite request for
the same as made by interested cot
ton growers. The operation of these
offices has demonstrated the desir-
ability of independent chasing of
fiees directed by the state and has
already brought direct benefits to
the growers. The selling of cotton

The proper application of grading

cotton samples should be handled.

H. F.. SAMUELS' ADDRESS

H. F. Samuels. Progressive candi-
date for governor of Idaho, spoke to
fair sized audience at the X. P.
hall on Tuesday afternoon and went
down the line of his charts saying he
was for the constitution and the flag,
was for LaFollette and Wheeler, was
for everything that was good and
wanted to preserve 1t intact for the
use of the farmer and working man,
for the poor as well as the rich, and
for the children and the children's
children.
He spoke kindly of his opponents
and said they were good sincere gen.
tlemen, but claimed that he and his
followers were the ones to deliver
the good government at low cost to
all the people. He laid great deal
of blame for unhappy conditions at
the feet of the moneyed men of the
country. and in a general way said
the Progressives were going to rem
edy all that as fast as they got con-

LAST HOUR EFFORT
TO DECEIVE VOTER
BY FALSE REPORT
Republican Chairman In
Statement Exposes
Miscellaneous

In a statement issued from Re-
publican state headquarters Monday.
John McMurray, state chairman,
caustically comments on the tax fg-
ures given out by the Democratic
state headquarters in paper issued
by them and denounces as false the
statement that there Is being taxed
against the people of Idaho "a mill
lion dollars a month for Idaho state
government for 100000 people,"
The attack against the Republican
| state administration, contained in
the statement, is the eleventh hour
effort of the Democrats to amass
enough votes to make themselves q
factor in the race. 1t is felt by both
state organizations that Samuels Is
already defeated for governor and
now the Democrats want to bring on
some spectacular thing to take a
long chance on seeing some MEM
bers of their ticket successful.
1.-THE actual total tax charge for
all state purposes amounts to 3d.
356,000.91 and not the $20,309,O79
which they intimate. One wonders
at the temerity of political organiza-
lions and candidates in placing such
a false light on state expenditures
lieve it, but it is the duty of those
who understand the figures to set
the public right.
"The total disbursements, as
shown by the auditors and treas
urer's books, might amount to $780,
309,079, but this includes thousands
of Implications. For instance, all
the money paid out for vocational
rehabilitation shows, but it is feder-
al money, paid out for the govern
ment by the state. The total shows
federal highway expenditures of
several millions; endowment fund
loans and investments of several
millions, and insurance fund invest
ments. Other federal aid funds are
vocational education and the Sol
diers' Home, as we'll as the Cham
berlain-Kahn fund. Then there are
twelve revolving funds which are
never actually expended, as well as
the headgate circulating fund. There
are also nine suspense funds which
are not expended and are awaiting
final disposition. The fact is that
the figures given out by our oppon-
ents are nine and one-half times as
great as the actual payment of tax
es.
According to the false figures
which they are trying to place before
the public, there would be taxed
from Ada county 1851, 479.62
when the actual amount of state
taxes raised in Ada county for all
state purposes is but $183, 463.14.
"The figures are so glaringly in
error, the intent of the opposition is
so plainly an effort to falsify, that
every good citizen should resent the
attempt to hoodwink them"
Following are the figures for
Bingham county:
Total tax charge for all state pur-
poses paid by county, $85, 288.23:
alse figures the Democrats would
lave you believe is the charge,

WOMEN ACTIVE IN

Enthusiastic Rally
Tuesday Night.

Republican women voters of
Bingham county justified their claim
to right of equal participation in
political affairs at their rally held
Tuesday evening at the court house

CHANGES URGED IN
STATE AUTO LAWS
Secretary Of State To
Propose Corrections
To Legislature

Cooperation of the state auto
mobile association and other organ

legislature proposals for revision OF
the present motor vehicle laws of the
from the office of the secretary of
state this week. The proposed
changes would include provision for
an auto drivers license, motor We

registration of nonresident licenses
and statute for inspection of motor
vehicles before they are licensed.
Injustices in license fees under the
present law will also be corrected II
the recommendations of the secre-
tary of state are enacted by the
legislature.
The proposed changes, according
to the statement, will afford motor
vehicle owners more protection. By
requiring a drivers license of all
operators of motor vehicles, the
statement declares, reckless and ir-
responsible drivers can be banished
from the highways
Continuing the statement says:
"Under a motor vehicle title law
every applicant for license for a
motor vehicle should be required to
show title thereto. This require
ment would materially decrease the
number of stolen cars. Idaho is
known to the automobile insurance
companies as a dumping ground

GOVERNOR MOORE
RENDERS ACCOUNT
TO IDAHO VOTERS
Quotes Records Showing
Misrepresentation By
Political Foes

Governor Charles C. Moore ap-
peared before the people of Bing-
ham county Tuesday afternoon to
render account to the taxpayers of
his stewardship of the trust placed
in his hands by Idaho taxpayers
when by their votes two years ago
they commissioned him to admins
ter the affairs of the state govern
ment. Governor Moore spoke at
the Orpheum theatre to a good
sized crowd and In a plain straight
forward and business like way gave
to his hearers q full and frank
statement of the work accomplished
for the benefit of the people of the
state during the two years he has
been in office. The governor was
given close attention throughout his
address and won frequent applause
by refuting with facts and figures
from the records, the misrepresenta-
tions of his opponents in this cam
paign.
The governor showed that a gen.
eral reduction had been made by his
administration of $450,000 in the
general appropriation bill and at the
end of this year the state would re-
turn from the several departments
the sum of 100000 to the state
treasury of money appropriated to
their use. His opponents were max
ing wild charges, he said, that some
twenty millions were being expend
ed for the operation of state govern
ment and he showed that the cost of
state government had amounted to
only four and one-half million dol
lars and that of this amount two
million dollars were expended for
education.
Governor Moore attacked the
Progressive program of taxation and
called attention to the fact that in
Wisconsin, the home of Senator La
Toilette, which state has been con-
trolled by the LaFollette element
for years, the taxes had increased
some 423 per cent from 1911 to
1928. This was brought out in con-
nection with the reply to criticism
made upon the cabinet system of
state government The governor
said the state of Wisconsin still
operated under the old system of
many commissions and boards, while
Idaho had abolished some forty-five
boards and commissions and con-
.centrated the work under nine de-
spartments directly responsible to the
governor and with little or no
duplication of work or needless ex-
pense.
The governor stated that the pol
icy of the state was to conserve all
natural resources. He said that he
was a member of the legislature

LIBRARY TAG DAY

The Current Event club will have
tag day for the benefit of the pub
lie library, Tuesday, election day.
This is an annual event since the es-
adjustment of the library and the
money is used almost exclusively for
the purchase of books for the junior
department.
Because of delinquent taxes the
book fund as planned by the librar-
ian in the spring has necessarily
been pared down, and this money is
sorely needed.
Tag day gives the patrons of the
library outside the city limits a
chance to show their appreciation
of service given them tax free.
Committees will be working in all
the country precincts that are near
enough the county seat to get the
benefits of the library service.

A HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT

Last year at holiday time as you
will remember we had an idea that
we would like to prove to both you
and to ourselves just what mission q
Gift Shop really fills In cOmmun-
! ity. But we took such an unusual
means of doing it that 1t was some
little while before we all quite under
stood about it, and ever so many
people that would have liked to we're
unable to take advantage of our
most unusual gift offerings, so we
have decided to continue the plan of
free gifts throughout this holiday
season.
Beginning November first we will
give you tickets to the amount of
your purchase on everything pur-
chased in the shop-save school
books. and on monographs on which
we are already running a special
stock reduction sale. Your tickets
to be used again exactly as so much
cash to purchase the free gifts-see
north window. OF course the free
gifts will be different from week to
week as many times we will have
only one of an article.
Space Is too limited to enumerate
the many beautiful things to be
given away but for instance, with
say five dollars worth Of tickets. you
may have your choice of any dollar
article in the north window, this in
cludes candlesticks with candles,
bulb bowls, baskets, pictures and
ever so many different things. Ten
dollars worth of tickets entities you
to two dollar free gift but come in
please and let us show you, we can
do that SO much better than we can
tell you this way
To further prove the Gift Shop is
more than a name, every Saturday
night we will give away absolutely
free a beautiful gift to the person
holding the lucky number, these
numbers will be given with each
twenty-five cent purchase. For in
stance when you make a twenty-five
cent purchase at the Gift Shop it en-
titles you to two tickets, one to be
used on the purchase of the free
gifts-in north window, and the
other gives you chance on the free
night gift.
The first drawing for the first |
Saturday night gift will be at eight
o'clock, November 8, but If the first
isn't presented at once 1t
will be held until Monday evening at
closing time at which time it then |
goes on to number two, which in
turn will be held until Tuesday eve
ming to be claimed, but If not it goes
on to number three and this is held
for redemption until Wednesday
evening.
We have just received new ship
ment of beautiful Polychrome things
such as baskets, book ends, lamps,
alarm clocks, screens, etc., and the
irst Saturday night gift will be a
beautiful new lamp or rather it is
,orchiere, from this shipment.
Yours for a merry Christmas sea-
