Both Ways

Il would not trust a single county
clerk in Idaho out OF my sight" Ray
McKaig shouted NJ the Progressive
convention at Jerome recently .ac-
cording to Jerome newspapers. Which
is rather hard on Mr.. Dunbar. con-
sidering that the remark came from
the leading ligh; OF Idaho Progress
siveism.
OF course, Mr.. McKaig was no.
honest when he made that remark.
Mr.. Mokaig knows we'll enough tina,
the average tendency is toward hon
esty and that the crook and criminal
are exceptions. AS a natter OF fact
and this is without any personal re-
ference TO Mr.. McKaig-the man who
spends his time watching for dis
honesty in others. usually will stand
watching.

erican wheat farmers probably exists.
Ii is possible that some law OF bene-
fetal character may be devised and
Enacted into law. President Coolidge
wants it done. Congress probably
wants it done. But the dead bill was
not the proper vehicle for real relief
No other valid argument has ever
been advanced in support OF the Nc
Nary-Haugen measure than the fact
that the emergency demanded emer-
gency measures. And that is dangerous
ground. The best policy is never to
tread on quicksand. Il IS to the cred
OF congress that such a law was
not hoisted upon America.

Defeating a Poor Bill

However much one may sympa-
thize with American farmers. however
much ono may belive in remedial re-
lief legislation n cannot become in
dIgnant because congress failed 10

For the idea was wrong. Many agri-
cultural organizations the country over

cd II. Many men who went to Wash

Southwestern Idaho has never parti-
cuiar'y concerned. Here whea, is
recognized as only a minor crop fill

other regions have no other crop.
And it was from these tremendous
wheas areas that most ardent D
for the bill came.
No one denies the necessity for
help for American wheat farmers.
But the principles and preceden, which
would have been established by the
MeNary-Hauscn bill is contrary is

Out of the Way

Not even a Nevada Democratic
senator can stop the wheels OF JUS

reclamation relief bill because it is
RICH, and proper that /, should be

The hipps bill will take care OF the
situation this year. But the Phipps

The Old Steam Roller

While the Nampa Free Press wastes
its breath trying to tell Canyon county
cnizens that the Progressive '
ton Al Jerome recently wa a model
OF harmony and singularly marked
by the absence of a steam roller. facts
from Jerome seem to indicate that the
Progressive steam roller was quite in
evidence and used just as effectively
20 fatsen opposition as IS custom
airy outside Of Progressive ranks.
Steam rollers are. r may be conceded,
a necessary part Of political mach
inory.
One learns, contrary to the Free
Press version. that the Progressive
waters at Jerome were not all paci-
nc. The Now Freedom notes these
exceptions and she effective deluge that

Of the prepared program:

tackled this upon the very SEN
sible ground that the resolution
offered nothing in its place. He
thought thar If the party is to be
constructive. and IL it had moth
ing to offer in the place OF this
policy. il should remain silent.
The resolution favoring the
election Of president and federal
judges by direct nomination and
election was also holly opposed.
Delegate Hall ci,ed that the re-
cord would show that there was
more incompetency. dishonesty
and corruption among the elect
ed judges OF the country than
there is among the same num-
Der Of appointed judges. He
received some support, but the :
