typewriterS received. The problem il
sure to be solved though, but il may
take little money to pay the expenses. 1
The great principle of retrenchmen
ana reform must he upheld If 1t takes
the last ceDt away from the taxpayers
to do it.
DOCTORS DISAGREE
Regular doctors versus irregular doe

Joint committee of the two houses at

The bill proposed i, fairly good and
will probably become II law. Physi-
cans all over the state are dreply in

bill seems to be that in addition tol

CUT THE OTHER FELLOW.
No conclusion has yet been reached
regarding the fees and commissions
Of county officers. Almost every
member has brought in IL proposition
for the reduction of officers conipensa-
| tons but one member AT the same time

sheriff. has Il friend, a county recorder
whose fees he would like to see kept

anything worth mentioning done in

RANDOLPH, THE KEFOkMEk
The usual war Is on regarding II re-
duction of railway, freight and passcr-
ger rates in the state Randolph, of
Latah. has the matter in hand this
time but the House committee has re-
ported his bin back unanimously rec
ommending against its passage. Rail
| road corporations seem to get their
work in just rs easily on reformers,
democrats and popuiists, as they used
to on republicans. Randolph's bill re-
pealing the law permitting deficiency
Judgments. passed the House but
| what its tate will he in the Senate can't
| be foretOld. The Senate has aristOcratic
J leaningS aud is not so enthusiastic in
its friendship for an oppressed and
| tax ridden people AS the representatives
are. The Seuate peremptorily sat
down on Benefits eight hour bill 1t
was one that made eight hours work
| days work and il was supported 10y
the labor union elements, but il was
killed and buried past resurrection.
These friends of the dear people are
queer lot
NEW COUNTIES.
Quite "A number of County bills are
| humping along the rough way such
! bills have to follow. Some of the Com
mlttee rooms in the State. House look
as though permanently occupied by
some geographical society, there are
so many maps, charts, plats, etc, hung
up on the walls. County lines and
boundaries get badly mixed sometimes
| when some inquisitive visitor happens
to misplace "a section of soIue carefully
prepared geographical specimens. Mr..
Fuller, of ShOshone, is interested in
| establishing new county with Pierce
| City as the comfy seat. and, to have
things in good running order and
adapted to the conditions that he ex-
poets will prevail in his new county,
he has attempted to change number
of laws requiring publication of notices
etc, in newspaper published ain the
county.' Est
| BONDS FOR NORMAL SCHOOLS.
1t now looks probable that an issue
Of bonds will be made to raise money
with which torun the Normal schools
for the next two years. Ia fact it IS
now demonstrated so perfectly that
the conducting of the states business
requires II large amount of money that
democratic minds can comprehend it,
Reform pops even admit that we'll es-
tahlished economic principle. But
there must be retrenchment aud we
VIII not place burdens on the people
during this administration we win
simply follow true democratic prece-
dent, we will issue bonds and borrow
money. Others may think how the
obligation shall be paid. Such is the
policy of the demo pop fusion combine
that now. through its leaders in the
STATE House, controls the destinies of
Idaho. T.,eir motto must read some
thing like this I'VE must retrench--lt
can't he done. TO avoid Indebtedness
we will go deeper in debt. God bless
