most careful consideration and
scan existing laws with closest
scrutiny.
In more or less degree. the ques-
ton is ofvital concern to II coun-
ties of our commonwealth, in all
cases being thu basis of that great
element of human development
and civilization in all ages, viz,
agriculture.
To the upduilding of this great
material resource, your best efforts
should be unstintingly bestowed.
Public policy in regard to this sub
ject, has matured rapidly within
the last FIVE years and 1t would be
useless reiteration on my part at
this time to revive the same.
That land and water should 90
together and be inseperable after
being once brought into contact, is
constitutional, as we'll as axio-
matte, and to this end all proper
legislation will be directed. Along
the line of this theory, the last
legislature passed two acts, one
modified form of what is properly
known as the Wright law of
California.
Several localities in the state inn
mediately took steps to avail them
selves of its provisions, but pend
ing a review Of its constitutional
features in the supreme court OF the
United States all work was held in
allegiance. A favorable decision
of the c urt has again brought the
matter promentiy before the peo-
pie and renewed activity under its
provisions are every where mani
tested.
FINANCIAL NREDS.
Of all matters that will engage
your attention as Legislators, it will
hardly seem necessary for me to
urge that the strictest economy
consistent with good business
methods be observed. The de-
mand for retrenchment and reform
in all matters OF legislation and
administration is so universal, and
the justicesof the demand SO pa
tent, that any extended discussion
in this paper on this subject would
be superhuous.
Economy in public affairs in
Idaho is no longer catch phrase
to beguile the unwary, or a subter-
fuge to mislead, but is an absolute
necessity. Needed reforms in the
abstract are many, but we hive a
practical present condition to meet,
in tt e handling of which there is
no room for speculative theories.
In state affairs, all appropria'
tions should be based upon actual
| needs, all superfluous clerkships
abolished, and salaries carefully
considered. In county affairs, q
thor ough and intelligent revision
of the fees of county officers, IN l.
age of sheriffs, and others, shonlo
be made to the end that expendi
lures for these purposes harmonic
with existing conditions, and, te
the nearest possible degree, con
torn to the taxpayers ability tt
pay.
The trainers of our constitution
were very liberal in regard to thu
compensation of county officers
and preceding legislatures have
adopted the same policy, till, in I
majority of the county Offices, 9th
Icers are much better paid for thei
services than the average stat
Official, or the financial condition
of the people justi6es. AS the con
stitution provides tina: county Off
Gals shall be paid by fees an
commissions, or both, the constl
tutional, as we'll as the most ex
peditious method of economy l
this particular is to revise the fe
bill. A return to the direct salar
system would require a constitl
tional amendment.

The problems Of government

and to their consideration your
best efforts will be directed.
Since statehood, our progress
has been fairly commensurate

ordinary caution incident to good
business methods had prevailed at
al times, in matters of legislation
and administration, our position
would have been secure and un-
assailable, even in periods OF great
commercial depression like the
present.
During the same period our pop
ulatiou has increased nearly one

number and gravity, daily con-

TAXATION OF MINES.
Exclusive of Idaho, and possibly
Utah, every mining state in the
west derives a considerable portion
ofits assessed valuation and sub
sequent revenue from the taxation
Of mines. Just why this class o.
property should be exempt from
taxation and escape bearing a just
portion of the burden of govern

As a resourse capable of return
