IDAHO REPUBLICANS
ARE UNITED AGAIN
Harmony Prevails in Conven
tion Dominated by Borah
and His Policies.
NORTH FAILS TO SELECT
Neither Mr. Taj lor Xor Mr. Crum
1VJII Withdraw and Chance to
"Win Governor Seems to Be
', Ixs-t Small Kiglita Open.
BOISE. Idaho. April 25. (Special.)
The Republican state convention at
Twin Kall3 developed three Important
facta First, an attempt to clear the
JLepublfcan gubernatorial situation in
Northern Idaho failed utterly. Second
the party seemed to be reunited fol
lowing the disaster of 1912. Third the
delegation to the Chicago convention
was Instructed to conform its Ideas
regarding the Presidential nominee to
the wishes of Senator Borah, who
heads it.
The charge, heretofore published,
that tha convention had a Bull Moose
color is groundless. It was made up
of progressive and reactionary Repub
licans, so-called, but there were no
lines of distinction. It really was a
Borah convention, as the Senator's
every wish was carried out to the let
ter. Withdrawal la Ilefoned.
The failure to clarify the guberna
torial atmosphere of Xorthern Idaho
was to be expected. Two candidates
for the Republican nomination for
Oovernor are in the race there. George
K. Crum. of Lewiston, and Herman II.
Taylor, of Sandpoint. Mr. Taylor is
Lieutenant-Governor. The Southeast
ern and Southern Idaho Republicans,
who believe that the Governorship
should go to Xorthern Idaho If one can
didate can be selected in that field,
held a conference. It was proposed
there that Lieutenant-Governor Tay
lor be asked to withdraw. Mr. Taylor
had friends at the conference ana
strenuous objections were raised.
Finally a committee composed of
John W. Hart, of Menan, Republican
National committeeman; Peter G. John
ston, of Blackfoot. Republican leader
of the last Legislature, and fc'am Hayes,
of Pocatello, prominent in Bannock
County, was appointed to talk the mat
ter over with the Lieutenant-Governor.
Mr. Taylor was notified of the confer
ence. Appointments were made for
him to meet the committee, but none
of them was ever kept. Lieutenant
Governor Taylor says he was at each
place at the appointed hour to meet
the committee, but the committee never
appeared.
Taylor to Stay in Ilac.
"When it became known that euch a
conference was held and that it was
In favor of Mr. Crum. the Lieutenant
Governor and his friends got busy.
They notified the Crum people that any
attempt to oust Mr. Taylor from the
gubernatorial race Just to give Mr.
Crum a clear field would fail, because
Mr. Taylor was in the race to stay.
They also informed the Crum people
and those at the conference there was
only one remote possibility that would
bring about Mr. Taylor's withdrawal
and that was in the event all other
guberatorial candidates now in the race
would withdraw and one man be se
lected as nominee all could agree on.
Of couree. this was an impossible con
dition, as Idaho has a direct primary
law and the entries are open to any
aspirant.
Senator Brady Attacked.
Harmony prevailed at the conven
tion. The only contests that developed
for delegates to the- National Conven
tion were settled either at county or
district caucuses. North Idaho cau
cused early and decided to ask for
three delegates and two alternates. A
bitter fight broke out on Mr. Samuels,
of Wallace. Walter Hanson. ex-State
Senator from Shoshone County, charged
that Mr. Samuels had paid tiie expenses
of the Bonner County delegates to the
j-tate convention, in return for -which
they had promised to support him for
delegate. This charge was disproved.
Bannock County's delegation staged
a fight on Senator Brady. The dele
gates from that county were pledged
to r. W. Church for delegate. Sena
tor Brady later expressed a desire to
go as a delegate to the convention and
Senator Borah wrote his friends it
would be unwise to elect one delegate
and not the other. Bannock County
went into caucus with other counties
in the district and Senator Brady was
elected over Mr. Church by a big ma
jority. It has been asserted that of the
delegates named to the National Con
vention Brady. Whitla. Ailshie and
K as ton are classified as ardent back
ers of Justice Hughes; Borah. Dewey
and Hart are for Roosevelt and Good
ing is for Burton or some other candi
date of his type.

Market Found for Material That Is Es
sential to Manufacture of Pro
jectiles and Armor.
GRANTS PASS, Or., April 29. (Spe
cial.) Southeiyi Oregon for the first
time In its history is coming into prom
inence as xa producer of chromic iron
ores, and the demand for the ore has
great commercial possibilities. Joseph
ine County has mountains of chromic
iron ore with ledges a half- mile to a
mile in width.
The Pacific Coast furnishes the only
supply of chromic iron ores in the
united States, but owing to the enor
mous freight rates across the continent
the great iron and steel manufacturing
plants of the East have been compelled
to import their entire supply from Eu
rope. Chromium is a metal used as an alloy
with steel to give It the toughness and
hardness necessary in- the manufacture
of armor plate and armor-piercing pro
jectiles. For this reason the enormous
war orders the steel manufacturing
concerns of the United States have re
ceived have greatly increased the de
mand for chromium, and these great
corporations are sending in huge or
ders to the West for the metal.
The demand once established for
Western chrome probably continue aft
er the close of the war, as the opening
of the Panama Canal will reduce the
freight rates and the use of chrome is
wide and varied outside of war manu
factures. It is used extensively in the
manufacture of all high-grade steel
tools of industry, the shoes and dies
of stamp mills, the tires for rools used
In crushing ores and particularly In all
automobile sfeels.

gon Normal School, in the classes from
June. 1914. to February. 1916. arc either
principals or teachers in rural and city
schools ,of Oregon. There wero 242
students in the four classes. A survey
shows that all except 31 are employed
in state schools. The rest cither have
married or have changed their occupa

normal school course 103 are located in
grade schools, while positions in the
rural schools come second - with 98
teachers. Kight are principals and two

at Salem.
From the 31 not teaching two have
died, three are completing educational
work at the University of Oregon, 16
are married and 10 are engaged In
other work than teaching.
One of the dominant points of the
survey is the growing percentage of
graduates that are going into the rural
Institutions. More than 40 cases are
cited where teachers have dgned con

VANCOUVER. B. C, April 6. (To the
Editor. The writer read with Interest
two recent editorials in The Ore
gonlan, one treating of a new pro
posal to retire the greenbacks and
one, of March 30, entitled "No Danger
of Inflation."
The basic idea ! of these articles
seems to be a fear that if all Ameri
can paper money is not hacked by 100
per cent gold there is danger of na
tional disaster so terrible that it can
be hinted at only in hushed tones and
the most Indefinite terms. Also that
If the active circulation, of money
should be Increased, unnamable hor
rors would ensue.
As almost all other gold standard
countries, the integrity of whose cur
rency has not been questioned, operate
on reserves of one-third and less and
guard their gold stocks by the simple
and rational policy that until the last
generation governed the United States
Treasury, it is peculiar that the great
est and most wealthy Nation should
be suspected of such weakness.
France is credited with the most
nearly perfect, simple and conservative
of monetary systems. The gold re
serve of the Bank of France cannot be
raided because an attempted raid would
be promptly checked by redemption in
silver, as in Belgium and the rest of
the Latin union. So France always
has sold to spare for countries like
England, that docs not sensibly protect
its reserves. And even England, cursed
with the preposterous bank act of
1844, known as the terror of busi
ness men and the ridicule of econo
mists, and as "Peel's strait-Jacket,"
has means of protecting herself in
emergencies.
Panic of 1O0" Recalled.
In the panic of 1907 the American
system of holding full reserves back
of gold certificates was ridiculed by
foreijrn financiers as most clumsy and
stupid, needlessly locking up so much
gold as to throw the financial world
oft its balance. What does it guard
against except the possibility of such a
complete loss of confidence In the
Government that all of its obligations
will be presented at one time for re
demption ?
The average reasoner would conclude
it mnrft r.rnhn hi e that People would
lose confidence In the banks and!
check out all their deposits at once.
Yet your statistics for July, 1915, show
deposits of $19,226,589,367 In the banks
and trust companies, against whicn
they held In cash only $1,390,437,846.
So the banks need only 7 per cent
cash to guarantee their deposits, while
tiie Government, with Its vastly greater
resources, must have 100 per cent in
gold.
Also your life insurance companies
have 22 billions at risk on five billions
of assets, of which but little is cash.
You would agree that there is as much
danger of all the insured dying ait
once, or of all the children' coming of
age the same day, as there is of a de
mand for gold redemption of all the
paper money within one year. Almost
all other nations carry their paper
money on margin; all financial insti
tutions are so operated; and the banks
with the most attenuated margin of all,
but it is only the United States Gov
ernment, with its unlimited resources,
that must hold 100 per cent gold or be
in danger of collapse.
There has long been a belief in the
United States that the monetary sys
tem of Canada is of the soundest. In
1870 Its national currency (Dominion
notes) was backed by 22 per cent gold;
kin 1880 by 41 per cent: in 1890 by 34
per cent; in 1900 by Zo per cent; in
1908 by 65 per cent, and there is now
81 per cent for use whenever specie
payments may be resumed. The notes
were Just as sound on 22 per cent as
at any time since, and the people, who
would rather buy anything but gold
with their money, have never called
for an appreciable percentage of the re
serve. Though Dominion and bank
notes have been inconvertible since the
war, they are dearer than ever, so it
takes a lot of property to buy very
few of them. As the financial depart
ment is controlled by a few large
banks, the people are allowed but an
insignificant circulation, and. debts, na
tional, municipal and private, are grow
ing to appalling proportions.
Federal Reserve System Scored.
The outcome of your Federal Reserve
system is disappointing. It was advo
cated as a measure to provide adequate
circulation in all parts of the land, so
there would be no more financial strin
gency, and all the people would be
busy, their full efficiency being devel
oped. It was to immediately " release
$500,000,000 of idle bank reserves that
would become active money, and pro
vide $1,500,000,000 upward of new cur
rency for popular use, based on" the
adequate gold reserve of one-third.
Authorities made positive predictions
of immediate, tremendous and perman
ent prosperity from ocean to ocean, and
in Canada we looked for relief from
our vicious excuse for a monetary sys
tem by some of your great prosperity
spilling over the line. But some sinis
ter influence must have thrown a
monkey-wrench into the machinery.
The issue of Federal Reserve notes is
Insignificant, seemingly used only for
transactions between banks. Instead
of natio al solvency, your business fail
ures, which in 1914 reached the extra
ordinary figure of 17,418, more than
2000 more than the high record of 1893,
In 1915 made a new record of more
than 19,000. by far the highest in the
history of the country, both in number
and in proportion to the population.
Reverting to the "inflation" bogy,
there was apparently some fear among
contractionists that the Federal Re
serve system wouid perform what was
promised. College professors of eco
nomics, whose expressed conceptions
of money are hazy and distorted, is
sued their warnings. Professor Fisher,
of Yale, in a published article, said:
"Surely we will not be so insensate
as to inflate our currency."
Now what is inflation? Would not
any considerable increase of the cir
culation be so considered? Certainly
an issue of $500,000,000 of inconverti
ble paper would be denounced as dan
gerous inflation, though it would be
only $5 per capita. The effect of such
inflation may be observed in England.
Having an inadequate currency since
1817, Great Britain has carried a dis
graceful percentage cf pauperism. Less
than three per cent of transactions
were settled with cash, the bank credit
and cheque book having become chron
ic. Since the enactment of the bank
ruptcy law in 1882 business failures
have averaged more than 9800 a year
up to 1910, exceeding the high ratio to
population of the United States. The
maximum was 11,022 in 1S93. and they
always exceeded 9000. But in 1910,
England began increasing circulation
of stlven, coining increasing amounts
thereafter. The people increased the
use of cash, and failures decreased
steadily.
On the outbreak, of .war. the. .Govern
ment issued $140,000,000 of Inconvert
ible 10s and 20s notes, which with
subsequent issues grew to more than
$500,000,000. Soon every available man
was employed, then the women and
boys, at increasing wages. Pauperism
quickly declined to the lowest notcn
since 1817. Charitable associations
abandoned their stations in the slums,
as. there was no more need of them.
The people have more money than ever
before, and there is a marked improve
ment in their physical and mental con
ditions, showing the manliness that
comes with nutrition, comfort and fin
ancial independence. Business failures
declined sharply- to 4864 in 1915, being
less than half the former average. And
England has taken many thousands of
skilled and unskilled laborers . from
North America, while Russia has taken
many more for railroad work.
You never hear of inflation in
France, which had near $3,000,000,000
in inconvertible paper in 1870-71.
Though specie redemption wasn't re
sumed until 1878, there was no depre
ciation except four per cent for a short
time while the German troops were
parading the street; of Paris. France
has now over $70 per capita paper,
besides the usual $10.50 silver and $25
gold in the hands of the people. Thirty
cities have issued municipal currency
of 50 centimes und one franc. It is an
nounced that gold redemption -will not
be resumed for at least 10 years. The
normal" circulation of France is over
$67 per capita, equal" to that of the
United States in 1865.
The people are Immune from the
drain for interest that afflicts those
of England and North America, per
forming 95 per cent of their transac
tions with cash. Experience there, as
in the United States in the sixties,
proves that people who can operate
with money instead of substitutes,
avoid debt and save. So the French
are great investors, and are said to
be the creditors of all nations and the
debtors of none. They originate no
panics, and business failures are rare.
The Bank of France issues money with
out limit in emergencies, while the
practice in North America is to in
tensify distress and increase disaster
by contraction.
Lack of Debt Is Emphasized.
The general solvency of the French
people was never, approached in the
United States excel during the "Civil
War. when the circulation of money
in 1865 was $2,113,606,702, or $67,26 per
capita, and, as it was mostly in the
North, it was probably $100 per capita,
nearly equal to the French circulation
of today. Hugh McLeod, a banker, was
appointed Secretary of the Treasury for
the American Banking Association to
contract the currency, but he had to
state some of the facts in his report to
Congress for 1865, as follows:
"The country, as a whole, notwith
standing the ravages of war and the
draft upon labor, is. by its greatly
developed resources, far in advance of
what it was in 1857. The people are
now comparatively free from debt.
"There is an immense amount of
paper money In circulation.
"It is undoubtedly true that trade
Is carried on more largely for cash
than was ever the case previous to
isbi, and there is a much greater d
mand for money than there would be if
sales were made, as heretofore, on
creait.
With the issues of monev business
failures dropped from 6993, in 1861. to
lbuz, in 1862; 485, in 1863: 520. in 1864
530. in 1865, and 632 ' in 1866. Con
traction then took effect, failures jump
ing to in 1867. Increasing there
after with further contraction. The
failures during the four years of ade
quate circulation averaged 17 to the
million of people, but in your banner
year or iio they were over 190 to the
million. In that time of "inflation" the
tramp was unknown, there was work
for all. and the 1,250,000 men discharged
from the Northern Army lost no time in
getting busy.
Condition Declared Ideal.
Was there ever such an ideal condi
tion as when adequate circulation de
veloped the full efficiency of the Deo
Pie, who paid off their debts, while
business was on a cash basis and bank
ruptcy a lost art Is it really better to
oc in constant anxiety over an immense
stock of idle gold in Eastern reDOs
tories, while 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 men
are out of work from year to year,
costing the country from $3,000,000,000
to $5,000,000,000 a year in the loss of
their productive capacity, besides the
appalling aggregate of human misery
mat goes with it.
Are business conditions more nearly
sound with more than 10 times the ratio
of failures we had with inflation?
What advantage is the favorable bal
ance of trade if it does not produce
increased circulation, enabling the Deo
pie to trade with each other, pay their
debts, cease the waste of their chi
dren in factories and eliminate the
pressure that forces multitudes into
immorality and crime?
Have the people or the business men
ever asked for a contraction of any
form of money? Since they stopped the
destruction of greenbacks in time to
save $346,000,000 have they not been so
distinctly hostile to the elimination of
that most useful money that the very
numerous dijis ror retirement have been
pigeon-holed as inexpedient in the face
or the popular hostility.
Internal Trade Seemn Not to Gain.
For the past 10 years your internal
trade, consisting of more than the
myriad transactions between the peo
ple, has been estimated at -more than
$500,000,000,000 a year. It does not ap
pear to grow, a recent estimate being
$505,000,000,000. If the promised ade
quate circulation of Federal reserve
notes had materialized, promoting the
full activity of the people, that Internal
trade would quickly increase by 50 per
cent or more. Your foreign trade has
never been so much as 1 per cent of
your internal trade, and an insignifi
cant portion of it has been settled with
a money metal, which goes by weight
as a commodity.
The internal trade has been restrict
ed and paralyzed much of the time by
lack of currency on the fallacious ex
cuse that domestic currency must con
form to some requirement of foreign
trade. Of course there has been a
great increase in gold certificates, but
as the bulk of internal transactions are
less than $5. gold certificates do not
serve. The most active money is the
small greenbacks, silver certificates
and silver coin, of which there is but
a fraction of what is needed.
Would not $250,000,000,000 increase
In domestic trade, which can be secured
by "inflation," be infinitely preferable
to all possible foreign trade? Was
there not some sense in the Republican
idea of protecting the great home mar
ket, though the sure way to develop it
was not by inflation of tariffs and con
traction of currency? S. P. PANTON.

Says- glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.
If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching;, if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid In stom
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drinks
before breakfast a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen
tary tract. Do your Inside bathing im
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre
vious day's poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folk3 feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body im
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less, except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening ajid
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject . shortly. Adv. '
