THE FORT HALL BAND FURNISH*
SD A NUMBER OF SELECTIONS
FOR THE OCCASION.
THE LADIES' GLEE CLUB WEBB
CALLED ON AND GATE A
NUMBER OF SONGS.
One of the largest audiences that
has attended any political meeting in
Blackfoot was at the Orpheum Thea*
tre Saturday night to hear Mr. Moore,
republican candidate for governor,
speak.
The audience was first entertained
by the Ft. Hall band, which played
a number of airs with much s||rit
and enthusiasm. Senator Thomas lie*
ted as chairman and after a few, re
marks introduced as the first speak
er John W. Hart, National Republi
can Committeeman from Idaho.
Mr. Hart said that he had known
Mr. Moore for more than 20 years and
had always found him upright and
high minded. He had tolled with hie
hands as a farmer and knew their
needs, but would work for the Interest
of all the people if elected. He ap
pealed for the support of Mr. Moore
regardless of politics.
The Ladies' Glee Club was then
called on and gave a number of songs.
One of them was a campaign song
with a chorus that ran thus:
"Farewell Moses, we will never
Vote you to the cnair again.
For when the next campaign is over,
You'll be numbered with the slain."
This seemed to tickle the fancy of
the audience which vociferously de
manded an encore, which the ladies
responded to.
With a few lauditory remarks Sen
ator Thomas then introduced Mr.
Moore.
Mr. Moore said the good of the peo
ple was the purpose of organized gov
ernment. Political parties, represen
tative of the people were necessary
to coordinate principles. He then
compared some of the planks of the
two parties in Idaho and showed that
the republican platform was construc
tive and the democratic platform de
structive. He explained that the high
taxes of the present administration
were necessary to take care of the
obligations of the previous adminis
tration, and went into details to show
What these obligations were. He ex
plained that the state government had
three departments, executive, legisla
tive and judicial. The executive de
partment existed to execute the laws
and devote to a specified use the
money appropriated by the legislative
branch. The governor had nothing to
do with the appropriations except to
advise and suggest.
He had no apologies to make for the
cabinet form of government. Gover
nor Alexander had recommended it
to the legislature in the session of
1917. It simply consolidated 49 boards
into a few departments, the constitu
tional officers not being covered by
it. If elected he promised to make
any improvements that may be found
necessary, and reduce the number of
employees wherever it was found pos
sible to do so.
He explained that the state con
stabulary had been established to pre
serve order in the state in the ab
sence of the militia during the war
It never had been constituted of more
than five persons, and most of the time
of only three. Wherever deputies had

Lower Rates
on Potatoes
As a result of an appeal in their
behalf by Senator Borah the potato
raisers of Idaho have taken hope that
they may realize something from
their crop. ,
The Senator sent a telegram to U.
P. headquarters at Omaha, complain
ing of losses to potato growers on
account of the differentials in rates
compared with their competing terri
tories, and unless these differentials
can be adjusted Idaho's potato indus
try must perish.
In response vice-president Adams
replied that application would be im
mediately made to the interstate com
merce commission for authority to
publish on short notice rates that
will materially reduce the existing
differential.
The commission also issued last
week an order requiring immediate
return of all empty cars from eastern
territory. The results of this order
Will not be noticeable for a few days
but it will undoubtedly reduce the car
shortage in this territory.
The three districts in southern Ida
ho which are trying to ship fruits and
vegetables are short of refrigerator
and box cars. District No. 2, which
tit; the territory north of Pocatello, is
123 cars short of orders. The cars
placed for loading in this district last
week were 13 refrigerator cars and
20 box cars. Notice has also been
received that cars distributed by the
Pacific Fruit Express Co. will be di
vided equally between the O. S. L. and
the O. W. R. & N., instead of the lat
ter company getting 43 care and the
balance to the O. S. L. This will give
the latter road a larger number of
refrigerator cars.
i
I
been employed to protect the mines
from the attacks of the I. W. W., they
had been paid for by the mine own
ers. The constabulary could now be
abolished. The athletic commission
bad been appointed to regulate box
ing, and the money received above
the cost of maintenance had been
turned over to the high schools for
athletic purposes.
The present administration body
found the State Capitol In bad shape
and it was necessary to spend a mil
lion dollars to put it in proper con
dition, not $1,000,000 as stated by Mr.
Alexander, and half of that had come
from state resources.
He went into details about the High
way Department which would com
plete by 1923, 1300 miles of road, ap
propriations for which had been voted
by the people themselves. The De
partment had 317 trucks given by the
government at the cost of transporta
tion, only 78 of which were in use,
and then only part of the time.
$1,600,000 worth of property had been
acquired from the government at lit
tle or no cost, and distributed in var
ious institutions.
He said that out of the taxes he
paid, only $6 in each $100 went to the
state, and only 15 «ier cent of this
went to the support of the state gov
ernment. Most of the taxes were lev
ied by local units, and he would re
commend that these be prohibited
from raising any levy above a cer
tain maximum, except on a two-thirds
vote of the taxpayers.
He protested most strongly against
the statement of certain school ofli
cers not far from Blackfoot that he
was not interested in education. He
characterized this as most unfair as
he had all his life worked for our edu
cational system and its institutions.
He said the one issue in this cam
paign was lower taxes and he declin
ed to be drawn into any controversy
which had no relation to this ques
tion. He would cooperate with the
legislature to see that this result
would be accomplished. He was also
quite satisfied to belong to an organ
ization made up of a large proportion
of the people of Idaho, rather than
one led by one man.
Mr. Moore Is an earnest and con
vincing, speaker and no one who heard
him can doubt the sincerity of his
promises to work for a reduction of
taxation and In the interest of all the
people. He made a very favorable
Impression on his audience.
After hls talk Mr. Moore was asked
what the prospects for a republican
victory In the state were, and he satd
they were most promising. Asked
what be thought of Mr. Borah's course
in the campaign, he declined to make
any criticism. "I helped to elect Mr.
Borah to the Senate," said Mr. Moore.
"We have always been friends, and I
hope we always will be.''

10 DAYS LEFT IN SECOND
PERIOD TO 6ET BIG CREDITS
Twio more days. These three words
have a mighty big meaning when we
consider the importance of the result
the News' big campaign has gained
rapidly nearing its conclusion.
The last of the present big credit
offer will undoubtedly be the deciding
factor in determining the winners of
the splendid array of prizes which
have dazzled the eyes of the entire
community because or their exception
al value.
For the past week the club mem
bers have been engaged in accumu
lating the credits and during the time
the News' big campaign has gaind
fame that is widespread. This is the
most liberal snbscrrption campaign
ever inaugurated in this section.
The efforts and diligence of the club
members these past few weeks will be
crovped with an avalanche of credits
that will be a surprise to those who
are Watching this race, from the side
lined. This is the time for all partici
pants to hurl themselves with vim and
vigor into the last ditch.
The News is justly proud of the
list of candidates who are competing
with might and main in the campaign
for the thousands of dollars offered in
prices. It seems that each commun
ity and neighborhood has chosen its
brightest and most energetic leaders
as a representative. And these favor
ites are well fulfilling the expectations
of tjheir hundreds of friends and sup
porters.
Pep, Push and Perseverance are the
thrfee keys that will unlock any door
in tho world.
They will unlock the door to the
valuable prizes offered by the News
in Its big auto campaign.
They will unlock the master door
that leads to the new Bulck car and
the Inner door that guards the Ford
prisoners Escape
From County Jail
Monday evening about eight o'clock
two prisoners made their get-away
fr5m the county jail by planning a
rupe on the Deputy Sheriff. The pris
! oners had been furnished a fine din
! ner by some of their friends which in
I eluded fruit as a part of the menu,
afld they had asked Deputy Burnett
to come into their cell for a treat.
Tlpe deputy did so and as he entered
did not lock the door behind him.
The men rushed through the door and
up the stairs and when Burnett got
tq the outside door they were nowhere
tq be seen. After a twenty-four hour
search the fugitives had not been
femnd.
The men who made their escape
w]ere John W. Casey, sentenced last
wjeek by Judge Adair, to serve 60 days
in the County Jail for bootlegging,
and Mead Thomas, who was bound
over to the District Court on a charge
of stealing a Ford Car, belonging to
B. Y. Nelson.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to express our sincere ap
preciation and thanks for the many
beautiful floral offerings, and tor the
S indly sympathy of many friends
i the time of our great sorrow.
MR. AND MRS. W. C. SOLLEN
BERGER AND FAMILY.
HAVE YOU THE KEYS?
Time for Action.
The time for action In the News'
campaign is at hand. The race has
been going along at a pretty even
pace, but that can't last. Someone is
going to show a burst of speed and go
right over" the top. The opportunity
to do that very thing is apparent.
Have Yon the "Bug?"
Near the end of the campaign—Just
when everyone is working to put his
of her nearest competitor aw*y back
in the last row undor tho balcony—
there Is very likely to be an epidemic
strike some of the candidates. There
is a sort of germ or microbe that gets
Into the people's systems and makes
them feel blue and pessimistic. That
microbe is a mighty dangerous bug
and the only way to keep that bug
from losing YOU this campaign Is to
feed it large amounts of real energy
Hustle and energy are sure cures for
the disease.
Confidence Assured.
Club members may rest assured o
a^aqlute confidence so far as report
are concerned, impartial treatment i
guaranteed to each and every one o
the club members and inside informa
tion will not be given out to anyon<
nor will it be possible to do so durln
the last period were anyone lncllnei
to do so. This Is made possible b
the fact that the ballot box will b<
locked and sealed by a committee o'
the judges and placed in the Firs'
National Bank. Club members wil
then deposit their money and sub
scrlptlons in the ballot box Instead o
turning It into this office and in this
way no one will have the least ldep
of what any of the others are doing
and it will be absolutely impossible
for anyone to give out any informa
tion.
Hunters Return
With Deei
Tuesday afternoon a hunting partj
consisting of Ernest Nugent, Dib Far
mer, Dr. Hoge, pnd Tate Taylor, re
turned from a hunting trip. Each o'
them brought home a deer, * Ernesi
Nugent getting the prize in the shape
of a five-prong buck.
They left the railroad at Chaliis
and then went with their outfit about
35 miles over the range Into the Warm
Springs Creek, where they got their
game. Mr. Nugent reports game quite
plentiful and not difficult to approach.
One other hunting party was in that
vicinity. The weather was very cold
going over the range.
AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.
George Clayton, living at Riverside,
returned from Pocatello last Satur
day with his thirteen-year-old son,
who was operated on for appendicitis
nearly a month ago. It was a very
serious case and it was thought he
could not recover, but the danger
point is now past. There is only one
out of Mr. Clayton's family of seven
that has not underwent an operation.
Mr. Clayton has certainly had hls
share of misfortunes and It Is to be
hoped that he has seen the last of
them.
Many Attend
Shrine Ceremony
Although the weather was stormy
at Pocatello last Saturday when the
Shriners held their carnival and cere
monial. it did not dampen the en
thusiasm of the large number that
attended. Many of the Shriners
brought their ladies, but the instruc
tions were: Ladies, don't bother your
husbands, they're busy. Accordingly
the ladies were entertained separate
ly and were well taken care of by
their Pocatello hoBts. The Shriners
had a lunch at noon and were enter
tained at a banquet in the evening.

Possibilities in
Idaho Dairying
J. H. Frandsen, dairy editor of Cap
per's Farm Press, of Lincoln, Nebras
ka, who left the dairy department of
the Idaho University 11 years ago,
has written an article for the Capita i
News of Boise about the possibilities
of dairying. As his recommendations
seem especially appropriate to Bing
ham County farmers we publish a
synopsis of hls paper:
Since Idaho has few large cities
there is a limited local demand for
butter and cheese. There is a strong
demand in Pacific coast cities for
both, and this demanor should be met
by Idaho producers. A Chicago cheese
man has been shipping two cars dally
to the coast. Idaho cheeBe factories
can produce as good cheese as Wis
consin, and with proper organization
Idaho cheese should bring Wisconsin
prices plus the freight.
The high freight rates to eastern
consuming centers operate against
the Idaho farmer as long as they per
sist In shipping east bulky products
like hay, grain, etc.. Idaho farmers
should and can get better returns
than Is afforded by shipping out, hay,
wheat, oats, barley or cheap forage.
The good dairy cow is the safest and
most profitable market for these feeds.
In putting the dairy cow before the
Idaho farmer as a means of overcom
ing his financial difficulties Governor
Davis has rendered n distinct service.
Dairy farming should not supplant
grain, fruit or general livestock far
ming. Dairying is not a get-rich
quick business hut a safe and sane
one. With its splendid climate, its ir
rigated lands that can nevpr suffer
from drouth. Its abundant yield of
alfalfa, the best dairy forage. Idaho
offers the finest opportunity for the
dairy farmer. All that is needed ia
to develop men who love the busi
ness, who don't jump Into It on a
large scale, who keep a watch on the
feeding and breeding of the cows,
study the markets and grow Into tho
business. Such men will have found
the dairy route the most profitable
route for marketing their grain, hay
and other forage crops.
METHODIST CHURCH.
Mr. Man:—Are you going to church
next Sunday? If not what reason
can you give your children for not
doing so? Have you some secular
Sunday stunt to pull off which Is of
more moral value to your family?
Think a minute Mr. Man. Every man
owes It to the state to be present at
some church service on Sunday. If
you do not believe this, Just ask the
preacher the next time you see him.
He dares you to do It or go to chnrch.
