Radicals in England are like radicals in this country they believe in freedom of speech for themselves but they are not willing that anyone else should have a hearing. i that Russia has begun the coinage of gold, silver against him.

Anderson has been convicted of forgery and falsifyn ing his records, while a prominent official of the league, must serve from one to two years in prison. It is surely a bad record for a trusted Sunday school boy who was openly waging such a fierce fight against the bootleggers, or rather the liquor interests.

England has feared for many years that India would try to get her independence. That is one of the reasons why England would like to sec the United States in the League of Nations in order to help her protect her interests in some of her colonies. It is proposed in England to turn over the government to the radicals for a while. This is the very thing that the radicals do not want for it would be their everlasting undoing. Radicalism thrives when it is out of power and it is terribly embarassed when called upon to make its theories work. Tax reduction in Idaho has been made possible under the economic government as administered by Governor C. C. Moore, and the rate this year is much lower than it has been for many years past.
