ment of differences between en-
ployers and their employees. This
law is copied after the Massachu-
sets law.
s. B. 24-Provides that the cleo
ton notices shall be sent by the
clerk of the Board of county COM
missioners to the registrars of the
several precincts by mail for post
ing; thus saving to the people of
the county the amount which has
heretofore been paid the sheriff as
mileage in travelling all over the
country to post the notices.
The new fee bill will be a great
saving to the people in the several
counties. While there is no great
reduction in the fees of the auditor
and sheriff in civil cases, in crimi-
nal cases, the fees in which must
be paid by the county, radical re-
auctions are made. Under the new
bill no deputies can be paid from
the county treasury. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY the intention of the consti-
tuition trainers that these Offices
should be self-supporting, and the
legislature provided for the carry
ing out and effect this intention by
inserting the following provisions
in the fee bill: "The clerk of the
District court and as ex-officio
recorder, auditor and clerk of the
Board of commissioners, may be
authorized by the Board of COM
missioners to employ such depu-
ties and clerical assistance as may
be necessary, whose compensation
shall be fixed by the Board. Pro-
vided, That the amount of
such compensation, shall in no
case exceed the fees received by
such clerk Of the District court by
virtue of said Office" The same
clause is affixed to the section re-
garding sheriffs fees. The fees of
all other county officers are reduced
to some extent; also fees of magis-
trates in preliminary examinations.
Many other bills became laws,
some of general interest, such as
the ones defining the duties of
county attorney and county super
intendant, which will however not
take effect until the next election,
when these officers will be elected.
The medical bill is gilmore particu-
lar interest to the members of the
profession. While the several irri-
CATION bills are of no particular
interest to us, they were the all
issues for the South
Idaho members and took up much
of the time of the legislature.
Several amendments were made
to the school laws, and several
sections to the civil code changed.
Among the important measures
vetoed by the governor were the
bill reducing the salaries of state
officials; reducing the poll tax from
SO to $3.50; the resolution submit
ting to the people a constitutional
amendment providing for the pay
ment of officials by fixed salary
instead Of by fees as at present;
and the Clearwater county bill.

Our ability to do business here now
almost one third of century and at
the end of that time to be able to lay

Of your confidence in US and Of our care
for your interests aid our success in
retaining your favor.
None of US are engaged in business
solely for pleasure or pastime. A profit
on our labor or investment is what ev-

secure to him the same amount Of goods
as to another, by careful representation
of the real worth of the article sold and
by refraining from questionable stimu-
lation of trade we have secured and
held most satisfactory trade through
all these years. We have tried and
proven our methods and have no idea
that change to others, possibly more
fashy and loud, is warranted by our
past experience.
We therefore say to you that we
shall maintain our ways of doing bus.

such articles as you may need; we are
sure that our prices are all right.
