Outlining hla policies and those ne do Hovm ahould be followed by the Republl can party in the State of Idaho. Governor James H.

He would also recognize the present tax system, provide lor me unprovtoiwii of public roads ana use m muuruiq " the enforcement of statewide prohibition, wherever such is the will of the people. His statement is as follows: -I am a firm believer In the principles and policies of the Republican party, and. ,i-i , lnvlnlhl natura of Darty promises to the people, pledge myself to carry out the declarations 01 uu put platform. -I believe in the party system of gov eminent, and hold that a party is respon aible for its administration of the gov . a that H member of th administration ia responsible, not only to the people, but to the party for his acts. 1 therefore seek re-election to the office of Governor on the record of honesty and efficiency made by me in me present ma ministration. Primary 1-aw Approved. "I reaffirm my faith in the direct prl mary law. and suggest that no change in the law should be maae save w iub nlt mnA atrena-then its DrOVleiOnS. "I believe In the election of United States Senator by direct vote or xne peo ple, and. until the unnecessary amena merits are made to the Federal Constl tutton. favor the nomination of party candidates at the primary and the pledg ing of legisaltlve candidates to carry out the party choice. "I believe in the control of the liquor traffic by every legal means requirea in aunnreu Its evils. The state has made a distinct advance in Its enactment of a county local option law and I promise to use my influence in the enforcement of prohibition wherever such Is me wiu of the neople. Should the Republican party, through Its platform, and the peo ple, through approval of such platform, decide that the liquor traffic cannot be adeauateiv controlled through the meinoa of local option. I promise faithfully to execute their will. In the firm belief that statewide prohibition, supported by a party platform and the votes 01 ine peo ple, can be successfully cmorcco. Xew Tax System Proposed. I once more urge, as in my first mea age to the Legislature, the need of or ganising a special nonpartisan commis sion for the control of ail Carey act lands. I urn the necessity of absolutely protect Ing the rights and Interests of settlers by nessine- an act that win maae it uniaw ful for any member of this Carey act commission r the Land Board to be Interested, directly or indirectly, in the Carey act lands. "I believe that the present tax system requires re -organization so that there can be a fairer equalisation of the tax burdens. I favor an Income tax. and believe that the inheritance tax should aoolv to all properties within the state that change hands through Inheritance regardless or the non-resmence 01 ine persons involved. "I believe in the need of a public utilities commission to supervise and control the public service corporations of the state. "I believe that our system and method of handling public roads is In great neep of Improvement. If elected. I shall rec ommend the passage of legislation which will enable the construction of a general system of good roads under a definite Dlan. "1 believe in the conservation of our National resources, both by the Federaf Government and the state, and am heart ily In accord with the splendid work that has been done along this line by our National Administration under ex-Presl-dent Roosevelt and President Tart. But I believe that the people of this state are entitled to the profits from the leases of lands, power and other natural re sources, for the benefit of their public schools and roads. Trespass Law Favored. 1 wish It to be understood that I fa vor a trespass law. There has been some criticism of my action In vetoing the trespass law passed by the last Legisla ture. I did this because the law was vicious and unfair, and permitted cor porations and individuals holding large tracts of land to make a game preserve out of them, which waa not within the Intention of the people of this state."

Many people have viewed the spot, but can give no explanation ot the cause of the pig's exit from the pen.

Some believe that It was the rush of air caused by the blast that picked the porker up and hurled him through the fence and left him un conscious 40 feet away. Other say the pig was scared and Jumped through, but the pig is too light for that and is not in the habit of Jumping through a board fence, breaking the board and covering a leap that would put a kangeroo to shame.

Several months ago a German sales man sold to the County Auditor a bill of pencils for HI. 10 and gave as an In ducement a pencil sharpener which would of Itself cost at least 110. The Auditor bought the pencils and told the sales man he wss buying for the other county offices. When the sale waa completed the sales man said he would go to the other county officials and make their acquaintance, which he did. He succeeded in having the County Superintendent. County Clerk, Assessor and County Treasurer each buy a bill of pencils, giving each one the bait of the pencil sharpener. When the bill of Hal. 18 was presented to the County Board It was turned down. The County Clerk and the Superintendent sent their pencils back, but as the other officials had opened their packages and used part, the bill was ordered paid, for the pencils kept. Another grange protested against the large pencil bill, and suggested that the County Commissioners let all contracts for goods or work where the amount Is S3 or more. The County Auditor says this Is Impractical, as the bids are usual ly higher than the county gets the work done for, besides the coot of advertising.

WORD GIVEN AT SPOKANE Seattle Man Says He in No Way Sought to Control State Conven tion His Canipiagn, He Says, Is on Honorable Lines. 8POKANE, Wash.. Aug. . Special.) "There is absolutely no political com bination or understanding of any kind between Judge Thomas Burke or General James Ashton and myself, and there Is no understanding between anyone pur porting to represent us," stated ex-Senator John L. Wilson, who arrived in Spo kane this morntrtg and Indignantly de nied any intimation of a West Side al liance. "I have had no consultation with Judge Burke since the campaign opened," con tinued Mr. Wilson. "Neither have I talked with anyone purporting to repre sent Judge Burke. I am conducting my own campaign: I trust. In a respectful and modest way. within the lines of the direct primary law. ' "I have seen Jim Ashton but one min ute since the campaign opened and I have had no political discussion with him of any kind. What General Ashton's views are I have no Information, and he is conducting his campaign in his own way. There is absolutely no under standing and no one representing Mr. Ashton or myself has had any discus sion on a matter of consolidation. "I have only been in Pierce County one day since the campaign opened and -that was to attend the state, convention. "The only assistance I have in this campaign Is the loyal and faithful friend ship within the lines of the Republican party. "It has been said that I controlled the state Republican convention.

PICTURES MAY BE PRINTED Legislative Candidates Have Privi leges' In Election Pamphlet. SALEM. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) In an opinion given for the benefit of George Jones, of Roseburg. both the Secretary of State's office and the Attorney-General's office have advised that a candidate for the Legislature, -i . represents but one county, may have the privilege of Inserting his cut In the election pamphlet under the corrupt practices act. The contention arose over the fact that section 2 of the act provides that all those candi dates who file their petitions with the Secretary of State are allowed, to In sert their cut. It is held that, under the meaning of this act, the words Sec retary of State refer to the County Clerk or any other official who Is au thorized to receive the petition of the candidate. It Is further held that the word "pe tition" refers to the declaration filed by the candidate as well as to the pe tition which is circulated among the voters in the Interest of the candi dates. Candidates who file with the Secretary of State must represent more than one county, no matter for what office they file. Consequently, to the layman, the reading of this section of the corrupt practices act has brought out some obscure points. In addition to the statement that the wording referring to the Secretary of State was Intended to include all offi cers who are authorized to receive the candidates' petitions, the view of the Secretary's office Is further upheld by the fact that candidates for the Legis lature are candidates for a state office, and it Is the opinion that all candidates for state offices are privileged with ref erence to space in the pamphlets.

Frank Pierce, of Seattle, author of Pierce's code and a well-known lawyer, filed today for the Republican nomina tion for Congressman from the First Seattle district VOTERS ASK CHANGE EAST SIDE WARDS' DIVISION IS PLANNED. Improvement Leagues Prepare to Present Petition to Cut Seventh and Tenth Wards in Two. Initiative petitions are soon to be prepared and circulated to secure a vote on the division of the Seventh and possibly the Tenth Wards, making two wards out of each. All the East Side wards may be included in the division movement. By the promoters of the movement it is considered hopeless to ask the Council to submit the matter to a vote of the people, and hence initia tive petitions will be circulated. "I am heartily in favor of the divi sion of the Seventh Ward and believe that the movement that has been start ed is In the right direction, and fur thermore, as the population of Port- land has shifted very largely to the East Side. I think that there should be a readjustment of the Council repre sentation." John W. Campbell, member of the executive committee and secretary of the Sellwood Board of Trade, made the foregoing remarks yesterday. On the Initiative of Mr. Campbell and several others, the Seventh Ward Improvement League has a committee looking into the way division of the ward mignt be effected. Mr. Campbell said that in the Seventh there are now 29 voting precincts and that the ward extends from Hawthorne avenue to the south side of Sellwood and to Gray's Cross ing at Mount Scott, and contains fully 60,000 people. "This large territory," continued Mr. Campbell, "will soon be Increased by annexing Willsburg. Eastmoreland, Berkley, the territory south of Wood stock to the Clackamas County line and east to Lents Junction, adding an other 10.000 population to the Seventh Ward. Part of this territory, really the most of it, is unimproved, and will require more time and attention than any single Councilman can give it. Water mains, sewers and streets are to be Improved In the Mount Scott dis trict. Under the present system much of this territory must be neglected. , "We have 29 precincts already, and the new territory will add several more. The Eighth Ward has 26 pre cincts and the Tenth has 25 also. I think that the time haa come when there should be a readjustment of ward lines and more members of the Council from the East Side. I understand that the people of the Tenth Ward want that ward dlviaea aiso." Walter Adams, a member of the di vision committee, favors an Initiative petition at the next city election for submitting the question of readjust ment of wards, and will urge that this course be taken.
