TTTE MORXTyo ORFGONIAX. MONDAY, MAT 25, 1914. 3 REPUBLICANS DAHO ARE GONTEST Present Governor, Judge Stev ens and M. E. Lewis File Gubernatorial Papers. 'LOWER TAXES' BIG ISSUE Platform Utterances Do Xot SatisfyJ Voters, Who Demand That Spe cific Methods or Affecting Pro- posed Reforms Be Cleared. BOISE. Idaho. May 23. (Special.) The fight for Gubernatorial honors at the Republican primaries has within the past week developed into a three cornered one. with Governor John M. Ilalnes. incumbent; Judge James M. Stevens, of Blackfoot, and M. E. Lewis, of Moscow, contenders. That Govern or Haines will have most strenuous opposition is now clearly apparent to the Haines and anti-Haines factions within the party. The three candidates eive all sec tions of the state representation in the contest. Judge Stevens is from the southeast. Governor Haines from the outh and southwest and Mr.. Lewis from the north. The chief issue of the campaign will be taxation, for the people of Idaho were never so Interested in an issue, caused by the steady Increase of taxes the past few years. To meet this issue the people will .expect candidates for Governor and Legislature to express themselves fully aa to how they expect to give t h. demanded relief and what specifio suggestions or plans they have to accomplish this. All Three File Plnlformii. Although the three candidates have Announced their candidacies, with plat form statements, without exception these statements have been disappoint ing, in that they are not specific enough. 111 Jits announcement Judge Stevens proposes this plan of lowering taxes: "After much thoughtI am convinced that the solution of the tax question is to be found in the sale of the matured timber from ' the stn4e lands; the sale of the state lands and the investment of the money derived therefrom. This money should ba loaned to the farmers and citizens of Idaho at a low rate of interest and the people allowed to improve their farms and homes, increasing the tax able valuation and shift ng the burden of government from the shoulders of the few to the many. "frora this Interest; figured on a 4 per cent basis, in a few years the state and the public schools could be run and public highways built without one cent of direct taxation. "From the official figures it appears that at the present rate it will take more than 150 years to dispose of Idaho's land holdings." Courts ( out IOO Per Uay. Judge Stevens also urges a reduc tion of court costs in ah courts. It costs about J100 a day. Judge Stevens says, to run the district courts. Mr. Lewis, .in his official announce ment, says; "T stand for tho law, will obey It and make it respected by others, high and low. I stand for efficiency in public service, and think the tax dollar should buy as much as the private dollar. I stand for economy, fewer boards, com missions and duplicating officials and less surplus help In state affairs; for simplifying the work of the Govern ment and eliminating expensive fads and frills. "I believe in long-time farm credit, and that the State Land Board should try to secure it for Carey act settlers. 1 believe in lon-tinie terms ' on all state land contracts. We want inter est, not principal payments." EDITORS TALK AND DINE E.STER (IREfiOX DIVISION E.VDS SESSIOJ! AT ARLINUTOX.

II Never Before has it been possible to buy a uew edition of the Encyclopaedia Britanniea at such low prices as will obtain until May 28th 3 days after today. ' Never Before bas the demand been so great, the manufacturing so extensive, the capital invested so considerable, the book itself so good a piece of work, and Never Before . has anyone been able to pay $5.00 down with bis order and receive the whole set 29 magnificent volumes complete in one shipment. All previous methods of publication have involved the issue of each volume separately, and its sale and delivery to subscribers separately. The 25' volumes of the 9th Edition, for example, were issued during a period of fourteen years 1875 to 1889. The present plan of publication all the volumes issued at one time, and therefore all of uniform ( date was a Revolution in Publishing Several men sat down together in London and discussed waj-s and means of making a completely new edition of. the Encyclopaedia Britanniea the great standard work of reference of the whole world. "We will go to work," said one of the men, "and make the whole Encyclopaedia Britan niea the whole story of human knowledge down to date, as one complete work, before we put a line of it into type, or print a copy for sale. This is the way the book ought to be made, but has never been made." Eight years were given to the undertaking, a'nd $1,500,000 was paid out to do it. When it was all finished and ready to print, the manuscript con ' tained about 44,000,000 words. "When you buy the new Britanniea, therefore, You Profit by a Napoleonic Idea v ' an idea which not only ensured a much better book, but a much cheaper one than ever before, be cause it was now possible to print and bind the whole 29. volumes of an enormous encyclopaedia, as one complete book, and therefore reduce all manu facturing costs to a minimum. (If it had been pro duced undcr the old piece-meal, volume-by-volunie method of publication, the selling price would have been 30 to 40 per cent higher.) Also, it enabled the t 'publishers of the work to conduct the bat one Inch thick.

There are 1500 contributors, of "1 different coun tries, including the chancellors, presidents and principals of 54 uni-verslties and colleges, besides 650 other members of the faculties of these and 92 other such institutions: 101 members of the staffs of observatories, laboratories and surveys: 126 am bassadors, diplomatists and officials of various Kovernments; 527 historians; 107 agriculturalists and biologists; 62 business men and manufacturers; 75 physicians and surgeons; 73 engineers and archi tects; 75 lawyers; 161 theologians; 79 naval and military officers; 93 chemists, physicists and mathe maticians; 65 meteorologists,' geologists and astron omers; 64 geographers and explorers; 72 economists and sociologists, as well as other specialists of other kinds, representing'. In all, 64 distinct professions and occupations. Manufacturing on a Gigantic Scale 10,000 sets at a time. Printers and binders could be employed continuously, as long as there was a ; ready demand, and a new printing could follow immediately after the preceding one was off the press. The demand, fortunately, was constant, so that the mere saving in printing and binding in large lots was sufficient to justify the publishers in keep ing the selling price at a low figure. If the manu facturing had been in small lots instead of large lots, we should long ago have had to increase the prices. When you buy the new Britanniea, there fore, you profit not only by an idea which has given the public the best, the fullest and most nearly perfect encyclopaedia ever issued, but You Profit by Large Savings in cost of raw materials, printing and binding. You may gain some idea of the magnitude of the manu facturing from the fact that we have had to use more than 2100 tons of India paper for the 11th edition, the skins (for binding) of 825,000 sheep and goats, and that 16 large cylinder presses have been at work continuously for more than two years and a half. 65,000 Sets have now been printed, bound and delivered to date at these low prices,, which, we are about to increase. You can share in the present success of this offer at low prices, and, if you send your order at once, using the attached order form, you will never, regret it. But Never Again can you get these beautifully-printed, handsomely bound India paper volumes at such a low price. After Thursday next we must advance the prices by $29 to $50 a set, according to the binding. Our letter of instructions from the publishers of the New Encyclopaedia Britanniea, the Cambridge Univer city Press of England, says: "Under no circumstances will any "extension after May 28th be given, - "and orders at present prices post " marked after that date must be re " turned. (Signed) "C. F. CLAY, , "Manager." After May 28th the new Britanniea will be manufactured in small lots, a few thousand ,sets each year, and, as the manufacturing cost will be so much higher, the sell ing price will have to be increased in proportion. It Is Impossible at the Moment to promise any immediate deliveries at all, because of the fact that the 'demand for the work is still insistent, and has, in fact, more than trebled within two weeks, so that no more complete sets can be sent out until a new supply arrives from the binder. If You Don't Want to Wait a Long .Time for Your Books Order today. If you are content to wait for delivery until next Fall, order on Thursday next. All orders are being dealt with absolutely in rotation, each receiving a number, whether for cash in full, or on the plan of $5.00 a month. If you order today, your number will be at least three thousand perhaps 5000 ahead of Thursday's orders, and you will then receive your set so much the more quickly.
