In view of- this information. the legislative pro gramme may get away from the con servative element, and the harvest of new lawH may be even greater than produced at any previous special session of the lawmakers held in this state.

In passing any other legslatlon the lawmakers probably will have to assume full responsibility. l'olllk'ians who are lonKmg rorwara to election activities next year, have not been at all backward In predict ing that more than one candidate for gubernatorial honors will be groomed for the race during the special legis lative sesBion. Included among the prospective aspirants for the execu- tlveshlp of the state are a number of men who will take an important part In the legislative deliberations. ( hurlfs Kali hnlrmun.

Senator Patterson Is a good mixer, however, and the calling to gether of representatives and sen ators from all parts of the state will place him in a position to Judge his political chances. One Is l.i. ill B. Ucnii. In the house of representatives will be found two men who ar said to be receptive to gubernatorial honors One of these men Is I.oula K. Bean of ,ane county. Air.

Gooding, Junior republican United States senator from Ida,ho, made a flying trip to Boise and Idaho during the congressional recess In order to answer critics who nave been objecting to his activity in the agri cultural and tariff bloc In the sen ate, to review the financial situation and to attend to private business The attack on Senator Gooding came from the Statesman, republican state paper, which said in part: "Senator Frank Gooding, back among his constituents, is proud -to say that he Is head of a "bloc." He Infers that It is a good 'bloc,' its members actuated by -high ideals. Its aims the most praiseworthy. But It Is a 'bloc' nevertheless and Senator. Gooding should know that 'bloc' Is a most pernicious legislative expedient. Morally, Senator Gooding violates his oath of office when he $lns one. "When a 'bloc' Is rampant, any member not In It may as well stay at home. The 'bloc' claims the power to dictate what bills shall pass and what shall not pass. It can go so far as to defeat all bills unless the few it champions are swallowed rip by the opposition without argument, without amendment, word for word. Nothing more vicious can be devised. Nothing more productive of rotten legislation is conceivable. The formation of one 'bloc' leads naturally to the formation of others. Then the voice of the peo ple ceases to beApeard. Everything must be done through the 'bloc,' one trading wTlh another and combining with a third to defeat a fourth. Orderly consideration of measures be comes obsolete, legislation becomes a farce, the legislative branch of the government suffers an utter break down." Senator Replies to Attack. In reply, Senator Gooding made the following statement: "I think that Ida.ho has passed the financial crtls snf'-lv. Th'-o, . t'- Idaho committee of the war finance corporation loans of more than a half million have beenpuB,c u. ... are being placed Just as fast as In spections can be made. Through this board not only the livestock will be taken care of, but the agricultural in-tert-sts will be materially helped through their banks. The darkest hour for Idaho has passed. Further recovery cannot be expected to be but have the courage, and will survive the situation. "The emergency tariff bill has been re-enacted which gives the agricul tural and livestock interests the high est protection that has ever been given lo those industries, and, with the organization of western and east ern senators, they will see that agri cultural and livestock interests are properly protected in the new tariff but Farmer's Interest Protected. "The-'rouch taiked-of agricultural bloc' In the senate Is composed of re publican and democratic senator!. I have the honor to belong to that 'bloc' if It can be called a 'bloc' The or ganization, of which I am chairman, is composed entirely of republicans. It is commonly known as the tariff 'bloc' The executive committee of this organization is composed of. be sides myself. Senators Johnson. Mc Nary. Capper, Nicholson. The balance of the members of the committee are: Senators Phipps, Norbeck, Jones, Polndexter. Stanfleld. Shortridge, Oddle, Ladd. Bursum, Cameron. Ken yon, Warren. Spencer. Williams, Har row. New. Waller, Keyes and Towns end. "We have been working with the national organizations! representing agriculture and livestock, consisting of the National grange. National Farm bureau. National Dairy associa tion. National Poultry association, American Woolgrowers' association and the'Amerlcan National Livestock association, together with the south ern protective tariff league which represents the agricultural an live stock interests of the south. Organization Is Defended. "Republican senators who belong to this organization do not call them selves a 'bloc' but are organized for the purpose of giving to the agricul tural and livestock interests proper protection regardless of what section of the country they are in. "With the Increases asked for, the agricultural and livestock interests of the country will not be receiving so high a protective duty as Is given to the manufacturers' interests today under the democratic tariff bill. Many of the manufacturing industries of this country have protection as high as 140 per cent, while the agricultural interests under the Underwood bill are practically on the free list. "I jeannot -agree with those who say that I violated my oath of office In belonging to this 'bloc.' I am will ing to do most anything but violate my oath of office to save the agri cultural and livestock interests of this country. For yesrs the manufac turers' interests of the east have been protected whether under democratic or republican administration, and they have been thoroughly organized to protect their Interests. "We are not blocking other legis lation. We realize that the manufac turers must have protection. e are going to help them to get it. but the agricultural interests of this cr- n;rv have never been properly protected even by the republican taritf bills in the past. It is the purpose of this organization to see that they are protected in the future." immediate, but I am confident that we are coming back. There Is going :o be general improvement.
