THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, POETLAXD. OCTOBER 18. 1914. IDAHO DEMOCRATS ENLIVEN CAMPAIGN Race for Governor Close as Alexander Tours State With Tax Promises. BOISE HAS ALL CANDIDATES Haines Says He Has Reduced Cost and Stands on Record, While tbe Progressive Yet Have Hope. Charges Are Made. BOISE. Idaho, Oct. 17. (Special.) The gubernatorial race in this state is waxing warm, and, if political signs can be taken as an indication as to how the three-cornered contest is com ing out, the general election result may develop into somewhat of a surprise. The race for Governor is between the incumbent, John M. Haines, Repub lican; Moses Alexander, Democrat, and Hugh E. McElroy. Progressive. By a strange coincidence all three are from Boise. Haines is a capitalist and real estate dealer. Alexander is one of the city's leading clothing merchants and has a string of branch stores. McElroy is a lawyer and agriculturist. Governor Haines and Mr. Alexander have both been Mayor of Boise. Tax Issue Up Again. The gubernatorial contest hinges on the taxation issue. Two years ago Governor Haines defeated James H. Hawley, now Democratic candidate for United States Senator, on the same is sue. Governor Haines' slogan was "Take your tax receipt to the polls." Hawley, when Governor, had insisted on a strict enforcement of the law providing for the assessment of all property at its full cash value, with the result that taxes went up. by leaps and bounds, and a large surplus was raised for state purposes. After his election Governor Haines indorsed and was instrumental in hav ing created a State Tax Commission so that the state could be given a fixed revenue plan on which to work. He says that during his first administra tion he has lessened considerably tne taxes in .the state. Alexander Promises Tax Cut. Alexander is stumping the state from end to end. contradicting the claim of Governor Haines. He promises to start the reduction of taxes within 60 days after his inauguration and to "clean" out the Statehouse of all "lame ducks" and "pork-barrel" hangers-on as soon as he takes office. Alexander ran for Governor four years ago against James 1-U Brady, now United States Senator, after the split in the Democratic party. McElroy is campaigning on a plat form that pledges to the people the abolishment or consolidation of a num ber of state offices, including the pure food, drug and sanitary department, the ijtate Board of Health, State Veterina rian, and State Horticultural Inspector, lie. too, promises to reduce state taxes and to bring about a more compact state business administration. The Democrats and Progressives both ssert that the candidacy of Governor Haines is being damaged through the charges made against State Treasurer Allen, who is alleged to have borrowed state school money through 'dummies." C. O. Broxon, Allen's Progressive op ponent, is a strong factor in tho race lor Treasurer. 0. A. C. TABS LIFE WORK SEW SYSTEM OP KILINC! RECORDS OK GRADUATES ARRANGED. College, Baffled on Question of Rec ommendations, Will Try to An swer Calls in Future. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 17 (Special.) Through a newly-arranged system the Oregon Agricultural College is now prepared to keep track of all Its graduates through their life work. Their resi dence, occupation, position and general progress will be secured and filed for reference. Although this programme is more ambitious than generally is attempted by educational institutions, the value of the record, both to the graduates and to managers of the state's larger industries, will doubtless repay the added cost many times over. An instance of the value of the sys tem came to light today, when the college authorities were cajled upon to recommend a man for an unusually at tractive position which pays JlaOO a year, and In addition provides a homeJ ior tne employe. tne position is tne equivalent of $2000, but neither this in stitution nor any other could afford to recommend its recent graduates for a position calling for experience in addi tion to adequate training. Calls come for recommendations to positions of responsibility every few days. The school of agriculture, in particular, is called upon to recommend some of its well-trained and experi enced graduates with regularity. Here tofore this often has been impossible since such recommendations are made only on exact knowledge of all neces sary conditions. CHURCH CENSUS IS TAKER Y. M. C. A.

Governor Lister, will step into the Washington State campaign Monday night at a meeting arranged in the Olympla Opera-Rouse In behalf of W. W. Black, Democratic Senatorial can didate.' and Charles Drury, Democratic candidate for Representative in the Third District. The appearance of the Governor on the platform with Judge Black and his specific indorsement ot the Democratic Congressional nominees are expected to settle any Question as to his stand in the present campaign. Most of Governor Lister s political ac tivities probably will be devoted to ef forts in behalf of Democratic candi dates for the Legislature. The Legislative campaign is show ing a strong tendency to develop on the issue of whether or not the Governor was justified in the free use of the veto power during the last session of the Legislature in cutting down appropria tion bills, with incidental attacks upon the conduct of the state administration for the past two years. Governor Lister has taken up the challenge of his op ponents on these points and Democratic legislative candidates are being fur nished with voluminous data as to the numerous appropriation bills vetoed and present conduct of state offices. Fusion between Democratic and Pro gressive legislative candidates in van ous parts of the state point to the like lihood of these parties combining In the next Legislature, at least for th purpose of electing a Speaker, if the Republicans should fail to have a ma iority. In the last Washington Legislature four political parties were represented It is possible that the lone Socialist In the " lower house, W. H. Kingery, of Mason County, will be left at home this year, as Mark Reed, of Shelton, put forward as the Republican candidate, is making a strong local campaign, while Kingery is absent most of the time in behalf of the universal eight hour initiative bill, a Socialist party measure.

It was" asserted by men who have knowledge of conditions around the project that even if it did cost 9102 the price would not be prohibitive as that is what the present users of water in the vicinity are paying for water. The engineer who made the first esti mate maintains that his price of $S5 was high enough and that he made it high to allow for unforeseen obstacles. It is maintained that the soil condi tions of this project, together with climatic and marketing- conditions. make it the best project of the kind in the West.
