EDITOR, INDEX, Emmett, Idaho
Dear Sir: My experience with
Government publications IS that but
very few Of them reach people who take
any interest in them. This is owing 10
a faulty system Of distribution. The
publications sent out by the government
are u the greatest value 10 the peo-
pie, and would be appreciated, and ac-
compilsII great deal OF good. II they
were properly distributed. They are all
educational In character. and in their
intent and scope. Some are Of benefit
to farmers, others to miners, some treat
on topics OF interest to laborers. and 9TH
ers TO profe ii nal m-n. some are Of value
TO educators, and others TO statisticians.
A congressman distributes these works
among his constituents TO the best of
his judgement. and with all the care he
can exercise, yet lnnumcrable mistakes
are made
| remember on one occasion when
was mining in Alturas County, on a
barren mountain. at an altitude Of be-
tween seven and eight thousand feet
the Department OF the Interior sent me
n publication treating on hog cholera
That work might have done a farmer
luAr mood ha1 ,.l Ia.
to prevent mistakes OF this kind, new
plan will be adopted for the distribution
~ such literature as may be assigned TO
he Idaho member OF the House Of Rep
resentatives. The annexed list embraces
the major portions OF the books and
pamphlets now at my disposal. Any
OF my constituents desiring these works
ARE Invited to select the particular book
or pamphlet they want and communi-
cate with me by mail. II anyone wants
more than one publication they are re-
luested to designate their first choice
II there is enough to go around they will
get what they ask for. otherwise the
first selections will be sent.
The adoption OF this plan will entail
great deal OF labor on mv office. this
am willing to assume. provided 1t works
successfully In the distribution of such
literature AS is now aud may be in the
future placed at my disposal
Very Respectfully,
JAMES GUM
