people. has framed bill which Il
made law will tend to prevent
special agents from harrassing the
conscientious settler who is making
an honest effort to c.mply with the
law and make a home TO: himself
and family. At times. especially
in a conntryI like there
are circumstances surrounding
the settler which no one could
for see. and when the settler makes
anne ends as early as possible. it is
not right for some special agent to
come along. who has no other in
tent than to give the settler all the
trouble he eau and make the ac
curing of home misery to Our
citizens. OF course there are cases
where a men who files on govern
ment land has not the least idea of
trying to comply with the law, has
never been aud never expects to be
a citizen of the community but the
general public will not be heard to
of his being made to com
ply with the most minute require
ments. 1t is only the bona fide
settler whom the people would pro.
tvct from the taunts and imposi.
lions of the special agents. 1t
materially retards the growth and
development of new countries aud

upon his kidneys and continued

HOW ABOUT 1T.

In discussing the county division
question. the Payette Independent
says:
But there has risen in our minds
the question Of the wisdom of Rep
tesentaiive Thompson accepting the
Craftsmanship OF the committee on
county boundaries, which place was
given for his support OF Clagstone
for speaker, when by having this
position his biased mind will have a
large control over all county division
bills. II is something like Judge
sitting on case on which he is per-
sonAily concerned. Ii seems to US
a fair and just thing would be for
the chairman Of that committee in
both branches Of the legislature to
be a legislator who has no county d.
vision contest at home and therefore
can perform his duties in fair and
impartial manner. A fair fight il
all that is as'-ed for. Let the legis-
lature as whole settle the questions
of division. II isn't fair to put into
the hands Of either an opponent or
advocate Of division the opportuni.
~ to use all the tactics known to
the politician to smother a bill in
committee.
Tommyrot, In fighting county
division. Thompson is simply per
forming his sworn duty. He repre-
SCENTS the sentiments Of large ma
jority Of the voters and taxpayers
and is promoting the best interests
OF Canyon county. How about

ton. Can the Independent give
